Abstract

A car drying funnel which attaches to an electric or petrol leaf blower nozzle (5). A funnel (1) for all makes and types of blower sold world wide, that when attached to the leaf blower nozzle (5) via the tube section (3) channels the air flow created by the leaf blower to expel through a small gap on the rubberized edge (2). Some manufacturers of leaf blowers have different diameters where the funnel (1) attaches to the leaf blower nozzle (5), to overcome this variation a sleeve (4) inserts into the tube section (3). A funnel (1) that when attached and in conjuction with a working operating leaf blower enables the user to blow water off painted surfaces or glass or off his or her car after washing with shampoo and water.

Description

24 1 6673 A car drying funnel which attaches to an electric or petrol leaf

blower, for all makes and types of blower sold world wide..

Features include a rubberized edge where the air flow dispels to protect vechical paint work, and a sleeve to accommodate manufactures of leaf blowers attachments

specification.

The funnel works in conduction with an operating leaf blower and enables the user to blow excesses of water off his or her car after washing with shampoo and water. A do it yourself blow drying system.

The present invention relates to a funnel which attaches to a leaf blower, for all makes and types of blower sold world wide..

It is well known that leaf blowers and funnels are available throughout the world, the leaf blowers being used as the manufacturers have named them for blowing leaves. The funnel also in its description is named because it funnels substances.

However, it is not known that to combine a leaf blower and a funnel as described herein by combination an attachment, the two items can be used to blow excesses of water off cars after washing with shampoo and water.

A do it yourself blow drying system.

It is the object of the present invention to provide such a system and to provide a combination of the system to all makes and all types of leaf suckers and blowers.

According to the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a car drying funnel named as such as the funnel shape restricts the air flow of the leaf blower, expelling the air through a small gap on the rubberized edge opposite the leaf blower delivery nozzle.

The car drying funnel is attached to the leaf blower nozzle via a sleeve which accommodates all manufactures of leaf blowers attachments specification.

Preferably this car drying funnel can make the user be able to blow excess water off painted surfaces or glass, producing a new hand do it yourself blow drying system.

Advantageously this form of do it your self drying reduces smears and marks left by other drying techniques such as squeegee or shammy leathering, which are commonly used after the washing of a car with shampoo and water.

An embodiment of the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example and reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a funnel detached from a leaf blower nozzle.

The term leaf blower refers to all manufactured products that are specifically designed to either pick up leaves or blow leaves around.

There are many manufacturers of such products world wide.

The description given to the car drying funnel is that the funnel shape restricted the air flow from the leaf blower nozzle by the nature of its funnel shape.

FIGURE 2 shows the coupled funnel shape to the leaf blower nozzle, if the leaf blower was blowing air the expelling air can only escape through a small gap on the full length of the rubberized edge along the funnel. This edge is opposite the leaf blower nozzle.

FIGURE 1 shows the relationship of the devices apart The funnel (1) attaches to the leaf blower nozzle (5), to overcome variation in sizes of the leaf blower nozzle (5) a sleeve (4) can be inserts into the tube section (3).

FIGURE 2 shows the relationship of the devices together The funnel (1) when attached to the leaf blower nozzle (5) channels the airflow created by the leaf blower to the rubberized edge (2).

This coupling enables all the air generated by the leaf blower to expel through a small gap on the full length of the rubberized edge (2).

Claims

1. A car drying funnel that is attached to a leaf blower

2. A system as claimed in 1 being which when attached to a working leaf blower delivers the air generated by the leaf blower to a small gap on the full length of the rubberized edge of the car drying funnel.

3. A system as claimed in 1 or claim 2 that from this air generated the force created can blow water off painted surfaces or glass.

4. A system as claimed in any one of the proceeding claims that makes a do it your self blow drying system.

5. A car drying funnel as described herein with references to the accompanying

drawings and description.

6. A car drying funnel which can provide an alternative method of drying surfaces other than shammy leathers or sqeegee.

7. An essential device to enable a more efficient way of obtaining a less smeared surface. This device enables the user to blow water off painted surfaces or glass or off his or her car after washing with shampoo and water.
