The present invention relates to a blowing-suction device, selectively operating in a blowing mode or a suction mode, comprising: a main body; a motor located inside the main body, the motor having a motor shaft providing rotational motion; a fan assembly driven by the motor to rotate; and a blowing assembly and a suction assembly connected to the main body; wherein the fan assembly includes an axial fan that, while in the blowing mode, the blowing assembly is connected to the main body, and wherein the axial fan rotates around a first rotary shaft, and, while in the suction mode, the suction assembly is connected to the main body.

A cleaning vehicle comprises a rolling chassis and a primary power source (13) in the form of a combustion engine which is able and configured to drive the vehicle. A suction installation (30) is provided which has an underpressure chamber (20) and a pump device (31,32,33) coupled thereto. The pump device comprises a primary pump unit (31,32) which draws its input power from the primary power source (13). In addition, the pump device comprises a secondary pump unit (33) which is optionally driven directly by a secondary power source in the form of an electric motor. The secondary power source (33) is supplied independently of the primary power source (13) by an electrical power supply.

An apparatus for collecting faeces characterized in that it consists of a collection container that can be used one-handed and comprises two jaws (1, 2) connected together at one end on an elastic flexible connection side (3) of the jaws (1, 2) with a rotation axis (22), which resists the closing of the jaws (1, 2), which form a hollow space when close, wherein the circumferential L-shaped edge (5) of the one jaw (2) is smaller than the circumferential L-shaped edge (4) of the other jaw (1), so that the edge of the one jaw (2) fits exactly into the edge of the other jaw (1) when the collection container closes against the reversion resistance of the elastic flexible connection side (3), and they lock in both sides with locking elements located circumferentially and to the ends of the jaws (1, 2), not being able to open again, and wherein, approximately at the centre of its main surface, each jaw (1, 2) includes a prismatic protrusion (8) whose top tip (71, 72) is parallel to the rotation axis (22) of the jaws (1, 2).

System for preventing the leakage of liquid from an outdoor work-site around the perimeter of the work-site includes a load-supporting surface having at least two adjacent mats and a plurality of berm members configured to be disposed around the perimeter of the load-supporting surface.

An animal waste collection assembly includes a box that has a first half that is hingedly coupled to the second half. The first half is positioned in an open position and the box may collect animal waste. A pair of wheels is provided and each of the wheels is coupled to the box. Thus, the box may be rolled along a support surface. A handle is coupled to the box and the handle may be manipulated. An actuator is coupled to the handle and the actuator may be manipulated. The actuator is mechanically coupled to the first half such that the actuator selectively urges the first half into the open position wherein the second half is configured to receive animal waste.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle for removing foreign objects (e.g. rubbish) from an area proximal to the vehicle (e.g. along a roadside). The vehicle comprises an arm that is moveable into a foreign object collecting position, a foreign object collector located at a distal end of the arm and configured for collecting foreign objects, and a conduit for conveying collected foreign objects to a storage bin.

A system for remote care of an animal that includes a mobile robotic unit having a housing, a mobility portion coupled to the housing and operable to move the housing, an animal waste detection system configured to detect deposited animal feces, a microprocessor disposed within the housing in communication with the animal waste detection system being operable to give navigational instructions to the mobility portion to travel along a path, and collect deposited animal's feces encountered along the path.

An automatic treatment material spreader device that is designed to automatically spread a treating material such as a salt or fertilizer for treating lawns, gardens, driveways, and parking lots. The device includes a rectangular body having a truck bed for storing treatment material, tank treads for mobility, and a funnel with rotating blades for metering and spreading the treatment material to a target area. The device is remotely controlled by an operator through a software application wherein the device can run on electrical supply provided through an internal battery. The internal batter can be charged by a wireless charging dock. The device can be programmed through the software application to spread the treatment material within a specified area and a specified treatment schedule. The device provides real time information about its location, material volume, and battery status.
