ABSTRACT:
A portable, hand-held blower/vacuum unit has a housing structure defined by an upper engine shroud removably connected to the top wall of a lower impeller housing. Disposed within the shroud is a small internal combustion engine having a vertical crankshaft which extends downwardly through a depending well section formed on the top wall of the impeller housing, the lower shaft end being drivingly connected to a centrifugal fan impeller positioned within the impeller housing and operative to force a flow of ambient air therethrough. The engine is resiliently and floatingly mounted within the shroud by a resilient support system which prevents rigid contact between the engine and the shroud or the impeller housing to thereby substantially reduce engine vibration transmitted to the housing structure, and permit deflection of the engine relative to the housing structure to lessen the possibility of engine damage caused by impeller impact from ingested objects. The engine's carburetor is disposed within a shroud wall section that defines with a fan housing portion of the engine a double-walled thermal barrier disposed between the carburetor and the engine's muffler. A resilient air filter element is interconnected between the shroud and the carburetor air inlet and flexes in response to engine deflection to thereby absorb and damp engine vibration which might otherwise be transmitted to the housing structure through the carburetor.
