Abstract: A blower holder for supporting and storing backpack type blowers on trailers and other vehicles. A shelf is mounted on a support post whereon the blower may rest. A bracket is attached to the post vertically above the shelf and includes hook members at opposing ends. The blower frame or back rest plate sides are selectively received in the hook members thereby sandwiching the blower frame or back rest plate between the hook members. One of the hook members is selectively movable against the blower side and may selectively be affixed along the bracket for sandwiching and retaining the frame or blower back rest plate. A loop is attached to an adjacent post and is adapted to receive and support the blower air pipe.
Abstract: An apparatus in combination with or attachable to a self-propelled vehicle such as a lawn mower for transporting the operator therebehind. The apparatus includes a first arm pivotally connected to the lawn mower and adapted to pivot about a first generally horizontally disposed axis of rotation. A support platform is pivotally connected to the other end of the arm about a second axis of rotation which is also horizontally disposed and which is parallel to the first axis of rotation. A spring member is provided and biases the first arm upwardly for placing the apparatus in a retracted storage position. The apparatus is selectively placeable in an extended in use position during which the operator stands on the support platform and rides behind the self-propelled lawn mower. The support platform includes a sliding plate for sliding on the ground and reducing frictional forces when the operator is standing on the support platform.

The apparatus includes a first arm pivotally connected to the lawn mower, a second arm pivotally connected to the first arm and a support platform pivotally connected to the second arm. The apparatus is spring loaded for biasing the first and second arms and the support platform in a retracted storage position during which the operator can walk behind the lawn mower. The apparatus is selectively extendable to an in use ride behind position during which the operator may stand on the support platform and ride behind the self-propelled lawn mower. The support platform includes a sliding plate for sliding on the ground and reducing frictional forces when the operator is standing on the support platform.
