Manually-operated cleaning blower and method of use

Abstract

One possible embodiment of the invention could be a manually-operated cleaning blower and a method for its use, the manually-operating cleaning blower generally comprising a manually-operated cleaning device having a two-ended pole handle with one of the said ends of the being attached to a ground debris contacting portion; a sheet having one or more attachment apparatuses that connect the sheet to the manually-operated cleaning device, wherein the sheet to reversibly covers a portion of the ground debris contacting portion and presents an edge of the sheet proximate to a cleaning edge of the ground debris contacting portion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A manually-operated cleaning blower comprising:
 a) a manually-operated cleaning device having a two-ended pole handle with one of the said ends being attached to a ground debris contacting portion;   b) a sheet having one or more attachment apparatuses that connects the sheet to the manually-operated cleaning device,   wherein the sheet covers a portion of the ground debris contacting portion to present an edge of the sheet proximate to a cleaning edge of the ground debris contacting portion.   
     
     
         2 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 1  wherein the one or more attachment apparatuses are tandemly located along a midline of the sheet. 
     
     
         3 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 1  wherein the one or more attachment apparatuses are apertures. 
     
     
         4 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 3  wherein an unattached end of the two-ended pole handle is inserted through one aperture and then placed through another aperture to attach the sheet to the two-ended pole handle. 
     
     
         5 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 4  wherein a placement of the two-ended pole handle through the apertures can be used to impart a curvature to the sheet. 
     
     
         6 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 5  wherein the apertures further comprises a set of bottom apertures, a selection of one of the bottom apertures to receive a portion of the two-ended pole handle is used to control an amount of the curvature subsequently imparted by the two-ended pole handle to the sheet. 
     
     
         7 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 3  wherein each of the apertures is formed by a U-shaped cut made in the sheet. 
     
     
         8 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 7  wherein each U-shaped cut further denotes a tongue that is biased against a portion of the two-ended pole handle passing through the aperture. 
     
     
         9 ) The manually operated cleaning blower of  claim 1  wherein the edge of the sheet has a sheet tines cut into it. 
     
     
         10 ) The manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 1  wherein the manually-operated cleaning device is one of a set of manually-operated cleaning devices consisting of a rake, a broom and a mop. 
     
     
         11 ) A manually-operated cleaning blower comprising:
 a) a handle; and   b) a two-sided sheet of resilient material;   wherein the handle maybe grasped to impart a sweeping motion to the sheet to create a blast of air that can displace and move ground debris located upon a ground proximate to the sheet in a controlled manner.   
     
     
         12 ) A manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 11  wherein the sheet has a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge is curved over itself to form the handle, the handle being funnel-shaped. 
     
     
         13 ) A manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 12  wherein the bottom edge has a plurality of sheet tines cut into it. 
     
     
         14 ) A manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 11  wherein the handle is a separate two-ended pole handle that attaches to the sheet. 
     
     
         15 ) A manually-operated cleaning blower of  claim 14  wherein the two-ended pole handle further comprises a bar that is perpendicularly attached to the two-ended pole proximate to one of said ends to prevent the sheet as attached to two-ended pole handle from revolving around two-ended pole handle. 
     
     
         16 ) A method for operating a manually-operated cleaning blower comprising the following steps:
 a) providing a manually-operated cleaning blower comprising a sheet connected to a manually-operated cleaning device, the manually-operated cleaning device having a doubled-ended pole handle connected to a ground debris contacting portion, wherein the sheet to reversibly covers a portion of the ground debris contacting portion and presents an edge of the sheet proximate to a cleaning edge of the ground debris contacting portion;
 b) grasping the manually-operated cleaning blower by the two-ended pole handle; 
 c) sweeping the ground debris contacting portion to propel the sheet in a back-and-forth motion generating a controllable air blast in front of the manually-operated cleaning blower; and 
 d) directing the resulting controllable air blast to ground debris located upon a ground proximate the manually-operated cleaning blower to further dislodging the ground debris from the ground. 
   
     
     
         17 ) The method of  claim 16  wherein the sweeping the ground debris contacting portion further comprises a step of further moving the manually-operated cleaning blower in an overall forward direction to move the resulting controllable air blasts along in a similar forward direction. 
     
     
         18 ) The method of  claim 16  wherein the two-sided sheet is lifted up and away on the two-ended pole from the ground debris contacting portion moving a sheet edge away from a contact edge of the ground debris contact allowing the contact edge to directly contact the ground debris. 
     
     
         19 ) The method of  claim 16  further comprising a step of creating a secondary air effect as the air sweeps around the sheet to a backside of the sheet's to create a turbulence occurring along the bottom edge of the sheet to dislodge the ground debris upon the ground. 
     
     
         20 ) The method of  claim 19  wherein the step of creating a secondary air effect further comprises a step of propelling forward the ground debris by the secondary air effect.
