Flower flyer

Abstract

Flower Flyer is a compact, handheld device for gently blowing flowers or confetti into the air. To use Flower Flyer, an individual loads confetti, flowers or another suitable material into the device and installs batteries into the device. He then pushes the trigger located on the housing to cause power from the batteries to operate the motor and spin the fan blades beneath a screen on the device. The screen allows air to pass through it to disperse the flowers, confetti or other material while preventing the materials from being drawn back into the fan.
