A blower deck, a retrofit blower deck kit, and a vehicle incorporating the blower deck or the retrofit blower deck kit. The vehicle is a landscaping vehicle such as a tractor or a mower. The blower deck may be engaged with the vehicle frame and in a position under the body of the vehicle. The blower deck may be engaged with the vehicle frame in place of a mower deck. In other instances the blower deck may be attached to a portion of the frame so that the blower deck is located in front of the vehicle body. The retrofit blower deck kit may be utilized to convert the vehicle's mower deck to a blower deck. The retrofit kit includes a base plate that is engaged below a bottom edge of the mower deck's side wall and one or more adapters that convert the mower's cutter blade(s) to blower blade(s).

A blower extension with video feed having a flexible tube that is selectively engageable with a standard blower. A vertical adjustable tube is attached to the flexible tube. The vertical adjustable tube has an upper section slidadbly disposed within a lower section such that the upper section has a compacted position, a plurality of alternate extended positions, and an alternate maximum reach position. A collar disposed on the lower section is configured to tighten and loosen to fix the upper section. A 90 elbow is disposed on the upper section. A horizontal fixed tube is disposed on the elbow, and an angled nozzle with a bend and a reducer is disposed on a terminal end of the horizontal fixed tube. A camera is disposed within a camera housing attached to the upper section, and a monitor in operational communication with the camera is disposed on the lower section.

The present invention is directed to a centrifugal fan assembly (19) for the debris collection arrangement (100) of a road cleaning machine (10). The assembly (19) comprises a casing (101), a rotatable impeller (103) and a wall (107). The casing (101) comprises a volute portion (30) connected to an outlet passageway (31), a corner (106) being formed therebetween. The impeller (103) comprises a plurality of blades (25) and is located in the volute portion (30) proximate the corner (106). The wall (107) separates the outlet passageway (31) into a first and second passageway (36, 37) and extends to an inner end (102) proximate the impeller (103). The inner end (102) is positioned, and the impeller (103) is arranged, such that when a blade (25) passes the inner end (102) a second pressure wave is formed that destructively interferes with a first pressure wave formed by a blade (25) passing the corner (106). The distance W between the inner end (102) and impeller (103) is greater than the distance Z between the corner (106) and impeller (103).

The invention is directed to a portable power working machine in which a casing has a side surface in which a suction port is provided. A block prevention guard is attached to the side surface of the casing. The block prevention guard comprises a top surface opening formed in the block prevention guard to at least partially overlap the suction port. The block prevention guard further comprises a plurality of legs standing from the side surface of the casing to maintain the top surface opening at a distance from the side surface. In addition to the top surface surface, an air flow window is formed between two adjacent legs in the circumferential direction of the top surface opening.

A landscaping blower nozzle assembly includes an inlet section for allowing air into the assembly, an elbow section and a motor. A nozzle is insertable into the elbow section such that the motor moves the elbow section in a moveable motion back and forth though at least 180 degree of motion for aiding the operator in the movement and removal of leaves and other debris. A breakaway coupler prevents damage to the blower nozzle when coming into contact with a rigid surface or structure. A tensioner assembly prevents distortion of the nozzle tip when subjected to high velocity air from the blower motor.

A blower includes a main body which includes a housing and a fan disposed in the housing. The housing further defines an air discharge opening. The blower further includes an extension tube connected to the air discharge opening, the extension tube extending between a first end connected to the air discharge opening and a second end. The blower further includes a variable nozzle, the variable nozzle including a plurality of adjustable air control surfaces. The blower further includes a nozzle adjustment tube connected to the second end of the extension tube and at least partially surrounding the variable nozzle.

A system for detecting and locating sand accumulation in an enclosure and for removing the detected and located sand accumulation, having a sand accumulation locator assembly adapted to detect and locate one or more accumulations of sand in the enclosure; a sand removal mechanism adapted to remove the detected one or more accumulations of sand; and a controller communicatively coupled to the sand accumulation locator assembly and the sand removal mechanism, said controller being adapted to: control the sand accumulation locator assembly to detect and locate the one or more accumulations of sand in the enclosure; and control the sand removal mechanism to remove the one or more detected accumulations of sand based on corresponding one or more locations of accumulated sand detected by the sand accumulation locator assembly.
