Abstract: A blower may include: a prime mover; a shaft; a fan; an airflow pipe; an inlet disposed at one end of the airflow pipe; an outlet disposed at another end of the airflow pipe; a shaft housing rotatably supporting the shaft; a connecting plate connecting an outer surface of the shaft housing and an inner surface of the airflow pipe; and an inlet cover attached to the inlet. The inlet cover may include a grille part defining an air hole through which air flows into the inlet. The connecting plate may extend in a front-rear direction. A rear end of the connecting plate may face a front end of the grille part. When the inlet is viewed from the exterior of the airflow pipe in a front-rear direction, the connecting plate may be hidden by the grille part.

Abstract: A handcart may include: a front wheel; a rear wheel; a support frame supporting the front wheel and the rear wheel; a receptacle pivotable relative to the support frame; a load sensor configured to detect a load applied to the rear wheel; and a control unit. When the load detected by the load sensor is less than or equal to a predetermined load, the control unit may be configured to determine that the rear wheel is predicted to lift from a ground.
