Abstract: The present invention is directed to a battery powered mower with a low profile design that minimizes the height of the mower to make the mower easier to operate and store. The low profile design places the cutting blade motor in the center of the deck volute so that it doesn't extend above the volute. Additionally, the batteries do not include a cover and so holes are located within the housing to drain away any water that collects. The invention also covers a simplified manufacturing process for the terminal blocks for the battery and a rear door. Lastly, the invention includes a cable guide to prevent the electrical cable from pinching when the handle is folded for storage.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an outdoor blower that is capable of safely releasing any electrostatic charge that builds up in the blower. During the operation of the blower, electric charge builds up in the housing and components of the blower as particles in the air are moved through the blower. The blower includes a wire contact in the handle that is electrically connected to various other components in the blower. As electric charge is built up in the blower, it can be passed to the wire contact, which is graspable by a user, who acts as a ground and is able to release any charge that builds up.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a debris collection bag for a blowervac device that is carried on a user's back. This improves the user's mobility and allows an increased capacity for the collection bag. The bag's location provides a comfortable weight distribution by separating the weight of the blowervac from the weight of the collection bag. The bag has a dust dispersion system to direct dust away from the user. The bag has a closure located on the side which makes emptying the bag easier. The bag closure is provided to make opening and closing the bag easier and faster, and resistant to dust and debris.
