Abstract

A hand-held blower mechanism includes an elongated housing having an inlet and outlet, and having a nozzle portion at the outlet. A motor is positioned within the housing along a central drive axis which intersects the inlet and the outlet. A centrifugal fan is positioned within the housing adjacent the inlet and is driven by the motor about the drive axis. A reservoir is removably secured to the nozzle portion with a tube in fluid communication with the outlet to facilitate spraying of fluid from the reservoir as air is blown through the outlet by the fan. Various attachments are provided.
