Abstract: Power equipment widely used in commercial, residential and recreational settings comprises a host implement and a demountable motor. The host implement has a frame, a mounting block with a first latch component secured to the frame, a driven shaft connected to the frame with a working piece connected to one terminus and a self-locating and locking coupler on the other terminus. The demountable motor has a spacing block with a second latch component and further has a drive shaft extending through the spacing block. The drive shaft has a second self-locating and locking coupler on its terminus. When the demountable motor is positioned on the host implement, the respective couplers mechanically mate so a power from the demountable motor can be transferred to the working piece. The latch components of the mounting block and spacing block interact to hold the host implement to the demountable motor.

Abstract: A method and system of retaining a customer. Steps include: providing a first motor and a first implement to a customer with more implements as a kit; and offering for sale a second implement. The implements are each removably coupleable to the motor without tools. There is a storage device for holding implements in a folded storage mode. The storage device includes a winch for holding the motor. There is a suggestive indicator suggesting a purchase. Other steps include: gather demand data; determining sets of implements having related demand; recording providing the first motor to an identified customer; recording providing the first implement to the identified customer; and conditionally offering a benefit to the identified customer upon purchase of the second implement. Motors are horizontal and vertical. There is a repair system for exchanging identical motors for use in the system.

Abstract: Power equipment widely used in commercial, residential and recreational settings comprises a host implement and a demountable motor. The host implement has a working piece dedicated to a single task. The host implement has a frame, a mounting block secured to the frame, a driven shaft connected to the frame with a working piece connected to one terminus and a self-locating and locking coupler on the other terminus. The demountable motor has a drive shaft with a second self-locating and locking coupler on its terminus. When the demountable motor is positioned on the host implement, the respective couplers mechanically mate so that a power from the demountable motor can be transferred to the working piece. The demountable motor is capable of being used on any one of several different host implements, all designed for performing different work tasks.
