  • Patent number: 4870714
    Abstract: A blower/vacuum system includes a power unit with a rotatably mounted fan for inducing an air flow from an inlet to an outlet. In the vacuum configuration, a pick-up tube having a relatively wide inlet opening is connected to the inlet of the power unit to direct the debris into the fan housing. The fan includes widely spaced fan blades that are sufficiently wide to accept and pass the expected range of non-frangible debris, including pine cones, seed pods, gum balls, and the like.
