Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/626,645, filed on Jan. 24, 2007, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates generally to lawn and garden implements, and more particularly to a backpack having a reservoir used to store a fluid or mixture.
- Air blowers have been used, typically in lawn and garden applications, to enable an operator to direct a stream of high velocity air toward one or more objects to propel the objects along the ground. The blowers may use electric or gas engines and may be mounted on a frame carried on the back of the operator. The backpacks typically have an L-shaped frame with the blower sitting on the horizontal portion of the frame and straps that go around the operator's arms.
- The gas powered air blowers, a small tank may be placed adjacent to or on top of the air blower. The tanks are extremely small and require the operator to stop and refuel numerous times. In instances when the operator is also handling a spray device used to spray a fluid, solution, particulate, or mixture thereof (which is generally referred to herein as mixture), the large tank will oftentimes piggyback on top of the blower. Piggybacking the two devices is done to eliminate the need to keep switching between the air blower and the liquid sprayer. However piggybacking a heavy filed tank on top of an air blower is dangerous. The center of gravity of the entire system becomes too high for the operator, which can quickly lead to an accident and/or injury.

It should be understood, however, that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the spirit or scope of the invention and/or claims of the embodiments illustrated.
- Referring first to Figures, a backpack having a
reservoir 10 is provided to hold a motorizedair blower 100. Theair blower 100 includes ablower nozzle assembly 110 coupled to theair blower 100 and conducts a stream of air towards anozzle end 120. Theblower nozzle assembly 110 may also include ahandle 130 that may be grasped by an operator during use. - The
backpack 10 has a substantially Lshaped frame 20 defined by afirst portion 30 and asecond portion 40 extending substantially perpendicularly from thelower end 32 of thefirst portion 30. Thefirst portion 30 also includes a pair ofopenings 36 on theupper end 34. Thefirst portion 30 includes a plurality ofapertures 38 positioned about acentral region 37 thereof. Theapertures 38 form a connection grid to help secure (through bolts or other securing means) various types or models of air blowers to theframe 20. -
Resilient members 42 are positioned on the first andsecond portion resilient members 42 help cushion theair blower 100. Preferably, a single central resilient member is positioned on thefirst portion 30 and a pair of resilient members is positioned on thesecond portion 40. It is believed that this helps balance theair blower 100 on theframe 20 such that theair blower 100 does not rock or bounce during operation. - The
second portion 40 includes a cavity or hollowed out section and thus has a built-inreservoir 60 or tank designed to hold a fluid, liquid, particulate, solution, or mixture thereof (generally referred to as a “mixture”). Thereservoir 60 may occupy the entire second portion, a portion thereof, and/or the entire first portion or portion thereof. Illustrated is but a single embodiment of thereservoir 60, which is shown to occupy the internal space defined by thesecond portion 40 of theframe 20. Aninlet 62 is positioned on thefirst portion 30 that feeds into a supply pipe orchannel 64 that leads to thereservoir 60. Theinlet 62 will typically have acap 66 that is removable such that the operator may fill thereservoir 60 with a mixture. Thereservoir 60 further includes atube 68 extending out from the lower end of thereservoir 60 such that thereservoir 60 is able to feed the mixture by gravity. However, the present invention may use suction to withdraw the mixture from thereservoir 60. -
Shoulder straps 50 are attached to thefirst portion 30 by having oneend 52 of the straps looped or secured through or to theopenings 36 and asecond end 54 secured tomembers 56 on thelower end 32 of thefirst portion 30. - In one embodiment (
FIG. 5 ), thetube 68 feeds the mixture to theend 120 of theair blower 100, where the mixture may be blown onto the yard. This type of yard treatment delivery system will eliminate the need for heavy tanks on top of the blower as mentioned in the prior art. Valves may be incorporated along the tube to help control the flow of mixture to the end of theair blower 100. - In another embodiment (
FIG. 6 ) thetube 68 feeds into the air blower. This type of system would be useful when thereservoir 60 is filed with gas or gas/oil mixture for a gas powered air blower. The prior art's use of a separate small gas container is now eliminated. In addition, since thereservoir 60 has a larger capacity, the air blower can be used for a longer period without having to refuel. - In another embodiment (
FIG. 7 ) theframe 10 may include an air inlet 70 and a small tube 72 that connects to the air blower. Air may then be blown into thereservoir 60 to pressurize thereservoir 60 keeping the flow of mixture steady. - It should be further stated the specific information shown in the drawings but not specifically mentioned above may be ascertained and read into the specification by virtue of a simple study of the drawings. Moreover, the invention is also not necessarily limited by the drawings or the specification as structural and functional equivalents may be contemplated and incorporated into the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concept of the invention. It is to be understood that no limitation with respect to the specific embodiments illustrated herein is intended or should be inferred. It is, of course, intended to cover by the appended claims all such modifications as fall within the scope of the claims.
