A powered landscaping apparatus having a frame, at least one wheel on the frame through which the frame can be supported upon and advanced over a subjacent support surface, a blower assembly operatively positioned on the frame and having a fan assembly that is mounted to be turned guidingly around a vertically extending axis, and a drive on the frame for moving the fan assembly around the vertically extending axis. The blower assembly is configured to generate a pressurized supply of air that is propelled in a stream that is directed in a manner to continuously redistribute loose material that resides on the subjacent support surface as the fan assembly is moved around the vertically extending axis by the drive and the frame is advanced over the subjacent support surface.

An implement coupling arrangement, typically for use with a lawn care vehicle (1), comprising a first part arranged to be coupled to a vehicle (1) and a second part arranged to be selectively mounted on the first part, in which the first part comprises a support arm (5) configured to support the second part, a mounting (6) for moveably mounting the support arm (5) relative to the vehicle (1), and a biasing member (7) arranged so as to bias the support arm (5) upwards relative to the vehicle (1), in which the second part comprises an implement (9) and a mounting assembly (8), the mounting assembly (8) and the support arm (5) being interengageable so as to mount the second part on the first part; and in which the arrangement further comprises a locking mechanism (10), which has a locked state which inhibits movement of the support arm (5) upwards relative to the vehicle (1) beyond a point, and an unlocked state which allows upward movement of the support arm (5) relative to the vehicle (1) beyond the point; in which disengagement of the mounting assembly (8) from the support arm (5) causes the locking mechanism (10) to enter the locked state.

A robotic vehicle may include a power module and a working module. The power module may include control circuitry configured to execute stored instructions to direct operation of the robotic vehicle on a defmed area, and a drive motor for propelling the robotic vehicle responsive to control by the control circuitry. The working module may be configured to perform a function with respect to the defmed area responsive to being propelled by the power module. The working module may be one of a plurality of interchangeable working modules that are attachable to the power module. At least one of the interchangeable working modules may have a different function than the working module.

A landscape rake of the present invention includes a rake handle component, a rake body component and at least two linkage rod assemblies. The rake handle component is assembled by a plurality of rods, and one of the rods has a first fixed portion and a second fixed portion. The rake body component has rake heads formed with a plurality of tines and pivotally assembled with the first fixed portion and the at least two linkage rod assemblies, respectively. Each of the at least two linkage rods has one end pivotally assembled with the second fixed portion. Accordingly, the rake heads can be unfolded or folded relative to the rake body component, thereby saving storage space and improving portability.
