Patent ID: 7748078

Claim:
A blower-vacuum device convertible between a blower mode and a vacuum mode comprising: a main body; a motor operated by a switch which is housed in the main body; a motor-driven fan capable of generating an air flow; and a vacuum nozzle associated with the main body upstream of the motor-driven fan in the blower mode and vacuum mode and a blower nozzle associated with the main body downstream of the motor-driven fan in the blower mode and vacuum mode, wherein the vacuum nozzle comprises an elongate main portion extending substantially coaxially with an axis Z 1 of the main body and a terminal portion extending substantially coaxially with an axis Z 2 angularly upwardly with respect to the axis Z 1 of the main body, the terminal portion having an end distanced along axis Z 2 from the main portion that is substantially open and defines a vacuum port intersecting axis Z 2 ; wherein the vacuum nozzle is positioned superior to the blower nozzle and the vacuum nozzle has a deflection point, wherein the blower nozzle has a blower port at its distal end substantially adjacent to the deflection point.
