Title: Backpack leaf blower
Inventor: THACKERY CLINTON C
IPC: A01G1/12
Filed: 2013-05-30
Abstract: In some conventional leaf blowers, air exhausted from the blower must travel through a bend before being directed through the output, reducing efficiency. In the present invention, the orientation of the blower system on the frame allows the output hose to be attached without the use of a bend thereby reducing air resistance and increasing efficiency. The present invention provides a leaf blower to be worn by a user and having a frame, a blower system, and an output tube. The blower system of the leaf blower includes an impeller having an axis of rotation and defining a working plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation.  The impeller and the tube axis of the output both lie on the working plane.
