Abstract: There is provided a debris blowing and/or vacuum appliance (10; 30). The appliance (10; 30) comprises a body (12; 32) including a fluid inlet (20; 46), a fluid outlet (28; 42) for exhausting fluid externally of the body (12; 32), a volute (100) located in a flowpath between the fluid inlet (20; 46) and the fluid outlet (28; 42) and a centrifugal impeller (200) located within the volute (100) and rotatable by a motor (204) to generate a flow of fluid between the fluid inlet (20; 46) and the fluid outlet (28; 42), the volute (100) comprising volute walls (122) delimiting a volute outlet region (128) in communication with the fluid outlet (28; 42) and a diffuser (114) located immediately downstream of the centrifugal impeller (200) between the centrifugal impeller (200) and the volute outlet region (128). The diffuser (114) comprises an annular channel surrounding the centrifugal impeller (200) and has substantially constant radial width such that the impeller (200) is radially spaced from the volute walls (122) by at least the width of the diffuser (114). By providing such an arrangement, the efficiency of the impeller can be improved. Therefore, an appliance having improved performance for blowing and/or vacuuming dirt and debris can be provided without, for example, increasing power consumption. This is of relevance to battery powered appliances, where improved efficiency may provide stronger performance and a longer operating run time for a given battery size and charge.

Filed: 2010-04-20
Abstract: An exercise harness has a band (1) that is retained partially encircling the user's head, by a chin-strap (3) and interconnected head-straps (4). The straps (3, 4) are attached to individual spaced locations of the band (1) by press-studs (6, 7) or two-part fabric fastenings. A cord (13) extending through a pulley-block (14) is clipped at its ends (12) to rings (11) at respective ends of the band (1). Load from a weight or from reaction to head movement is applied to the pulley-block (14) via a swivel connection (15) for equalisation and balancing out of asymmetrical tensioning of the two ends of the band (1) for extension exercise of muscles of the spinal cervix. Unsafe or inappropriate loading causes break-out of one or more of the press-studs (6, 7) or other fastenings to give audible warning of it and a measure of relief.
