Claim:
A cart for holding and transporting a portable blower, comprising: a rotary member having an upper receptacle portion and a lower cylindrical stem portion, the upper receptacle portion having a cavity formed therein for receiving a housing of the portable blower, the cavity being defined by an inner side wall; a cylindrical base member having formed in a top surface thereof a cavity in which the lower cylindrical stem portion is seated, wherein the cavity of the cylindrical base member has an inner diameter that is larger than an outer diameter of the lower cylindrical stem portion; an attachment member for attaching the rotary member to the cylindrical base member, wherein the rotary member is rotatable while the lower cylindrical stem portion thereof is seated within the cavity of the cylindrical base member; a tubular member attached to the cart and having a handle attached to an upper end thereof; at least one wheel attached to the cart for guiding the cart over a surface; and a locking spring latch formed on the upper receptacle portion of the rotary member for securing the portable blower to the rotary member of the cart, wherein the rotary member is mounted to the cylindrical base member by the attachment member to permit the rotary member to be moved between a lowered position in which the rotary member is rotatably fixed relative to the base member, and a raised position in which the rotary member is rotatable relative to the base member by being lifted from the base member and rotated to a desired position while the rotary member is still attached to the base member by the attachment member.
