Debris blower

摘要

A debris blower includes an engine mounted to an engine mount and connected to a turbine. The engine mount and housing of the turbine are respectively mounted between a second side of a frame and first and second longitudinal supports connected to and between first and second sides of the frame. A screen guard is secured utilizing bolts extending in a non-rotatable manner from a top plate connected between the second longitudinal support and the second side. Due to the frame and engine mount having a parallelism and flatness tolerance, the engine and turbine can be aligned without shimming. A sensor senses first and second trip devices positioned at circumferential locations on the exit nozzle to rotate the exit nozzle to preset angles. Remote and hard wire controls each include direction and speed switches. A resume switch throttles the engine between idle and operating speeds.

主权项

1. Debris blower comprising, in combination: a chassis comprising, in combination: a rectangular frame including first and second sides extending generally perpendicular between first and second ends, with the second side including a top surface; a cross brace extending between and connected to the first and second sides intermediate the first and second ends; first and second longitudinal supports, with the first longitudinal support extending between and connected to the first end and the cross brace, with the second longitudinal support extending between and connected to the second end and the cross brace, with the second longitudinal support including a top surface; an engine mount including a planar top, with the engine mount extending between and connected to the second side and the first longitudinal support, with the planar top being spaced from the frame and the first longitudinal support; a top plate extending between and connected to the second side and the second longitudinal support; a turbine having a housing including an exit nozzle rotatably coupled thereto, with the housing connected to the top surfaces of the second side and the second longitudinal support and defining a connection plane, with the top plate located intermediate the housing and the engine mount; an engine mounted to the planar top of the engine mount, with the engine operationally connected to the turbine, with the connection plane and the planar top of the engine mount being flat and parallel to avoid shimming of the housing relative to the second side and the second longitudinal support; a screen guard extending between the engine and the housing and connected to the top plate; wheels connected to the first and second sides; and a hitch connected to the first end.
