BACKGROUND

Field of the Invention

The present invention is a universal blower attachment that will fit any standard handheld leaf blower or standard backpack blower and a system for atomizing and dispensing insecticides and other liquids.

Background of the Invention

Individuals and homeowners engaged in the maintenance of their yards and gardens commonly require personal spraying devices for the spraying of liquids such as insecticides, repellants, herbicides and fungicides. Such sprayers tend to be either hand bottles with atomizing nozzles wherein the user's own pumping action provides the spraying power, or pump-style pressurized containers wherein the user activates spraying by pulling a trigger opening a tube to a nozzle, and allowing the pent-up pressure to provide the spraying power.

Known commercial blowers and/or misters often cost from $600 to $1,000 retail, putting them outside the budget of most home users. Thus, home users are left either paying a professional for spraying services, or obtaining one of the personal spraying devices currently available on the market.

Such personal spraying devices suffer from a number of problems. In particular, the amount of power generated by hand pumping or pre-pumping into a pressurized container is quite limited. As such, the range of such a sprayer is similarly limited, often to a few feet when the nozzle is dilated to a stream and to a mere foot or two when the nozzle is set to atomize.

Further, in the case of a pre-pump spray container, the pressure quickly drops upon engagement and requires the user to stop after 30 seconds or less to pump again before spraying can continue.

What is needed is a device or system that will provide high-power and consistent spraying capability to home users. The device and system as described herein will address these issues by applying atomized liquid into the high-power air stream of a powered leaf blower.

BRIEF SUMMARY

In a preferred embodiment, a blower attachment comprising a hose attaching a tank containing liquid to a clip body with a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the clip body is attached to an exhaust end of a blower, wherein the hose runs through the clip body via a collar, the hose ends in an atomizer and such atomizer is fixed into a hose hole.

In another preferred embodiment, the blower attachment as described herein, further comprising a clamp slot and where the means of attachment between each of the blower attachment and blower is a clamp.

In another preferred embodiment, the blower attachment as described herein, wherein the point of attachment between the atomizer and hose comprises an approximately right angle.

In another preferred embodiment, the blower attachment as described herein, wherein the air barrier comprises a flat side allowing a user to lay the blower and attachment down flat.

In an alternate preferred embodiment, a liquid atomizing and dispersal system, comprising the blower attachment as described herein, a pressurized tank, a liquid line connecting the pressurized tank to the atomizer end, and a leaf blower.

In an alternate embodiment, a method of spraying liquids using the blower attachment as described herein, attached to a pressurized tank via an atomizer nozzle and attached to the exhaust pipe of a handheld or backpack-style leaf blower.
