Landscaping blower nozzle assembly
A landscaping blower nozzle assembly includes an inlet section for allowing air into the assembly, an elbow section and a motor. A nozzle is insertable into the elbow section such that the motor moves the elbow section in an moveable motion back and forth though at least 180 degree of motion for aiding the operator in the movement and removal of leaves and other debris.
1. A landscaping blower nozzle assembly comprising:
an inlet section for allowing air into the assembly from a blower motor;
an elbow section;
an rotation motor;
a nozzle where a portion of which is insertable into the elbow section; and
wherein the rotation motor moves the elbow section, in a user controllable motion, though at least 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees of rotational motion.
2. A nozzle assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the nozzle includes a narrow shaped insert at its distal end.
3. A nozzle assembly as in claim 2 , wherein the nozzle is removable.
4. A nozzle assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the inlet section is substantially straight.
5. A nozzle assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is pliable for returning to a fixed shape when bent.
6. A nozzle assembly as in claim 1 , further comprising a gear assembly having a first gear and second gear.
7. A nozzle assembly as in claim 6 , wherein the first gear is a substantially flat gear and the second gear is a pinion gear.
8. A nozzle assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the motor connects to a pinion gear that controls a flat gear for moving the elbow.
9. A nozzle assembly for use with a landscaping blower comprising:
an inlet section for receiving high velocity air from a gas motor;
an elbow connected to the inlet section;
an electric motor;
a gear assembly for connecting the electric motor and elbow; and
wherein the gear assembly includes a first gear and second gear operating with the motor for moving the elbow though an arc of motion.
10. A nozzle as in claim 9 , wherein the inlet section is substantially straight.
11. A nozzle as in claim 9 , wherein the first gear and a second gear are engaged in juxtaposition such that the first gear moves the second gear.
12. A nozzle as in claim 11 , wherein the first gear is a flat gear and the second gear is a pinion gear.
13. A nozzle as in claim 12 , wherein the motor moves the pinion gear so that the flat gear controls movement of the elbow.
14. A nozzle as in claim 9 , arc of motion is at least 200 degrees.
15. A horizontally adjustable nozzle assembly for use with a landscape blower comprising:
a nozzle;
an electric motor;
a plurality of gears operated by the electric motor; and
wherein at least one of the plurality of gears is connected to the nozzle assembly for rotating the nozzle assembly in an approximately 200 degree range.
16. A nozzle assembly as in claim 15 , further comprising;
an elbow connected to the nozzle for directing air from a blower motor to the nozzle.
17. A nozzle assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the elbow is made of a pliable material for bending and returning to a predetermined shape.
18. A nozzle assembly as in claim 17 , further comprising a tensioning cable attached to the elbow for holding the elbow into a fixed position relative to the landscape blower.
19. A nozzle assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the plurality of gears includes a flat gear having plurality of teeth for moving the nozzle and a pinion gear attached to the electric motor for engaging with the first gear.
20. A nozzle assembly as in claim 15 , wherein the nozzle includes a rigid insert positioned within a distal end of the nozzle for maintaining the shape of the nozzle in a fixed position.
