Abstract: Blower attachment that attaches to a drive unit having a long driveshaft, such as, for example, a lawn trimmer typically used in garden and landscape maintenance. The blower attachment has a housing and an impeller that rotates therein. When coupled together, the drive shaft drives the impeller in the blower attachment. The rotating impeller causes an intake of air through an inlet in the housing. Air is expelled laterally from the housing through air outlets in the housing, blowing a stream of air horizontally across the ground.

Abstract: A panel interconnectable with like panels for use in forming a sports surface has a substantially rectangular and planar member and an edge connector at at least one set of opposite edges including a first locking member extending from the lower surface of the panel at one edge and having a groove extending inwards from the end thereof and towards the one edge and terminating below the upper surface. A second locking member extending from the upper surface of the panel at the other edge, has a projection configured to engage in the groove to mate with the first locking member at the one edge of an adjacent panel to align the upper and lower surfaces of the panels. A plurality of these panels are advantageously assembled by the method according to the present invention to form a sports surface.
