A product applicator is secured to the blower tube of a portable air blower and incorporates an adapter nozzle assembly and product storage container. The adapter nozzle assembly is located at a distal end of the blower tube, and includes a substantially hollow tubular housing and a discharge nozzle located inside the housing. The housing has a discharge end and a connecting end adapted for being arranged inline with the discharge airstream supplied by the blower. The product storage container is located proximate the housing, and is designed for storing a product to be discharged through the nozzle. A flow regulator is adapted for selectively adjusting a supply of product from the container to the discharge nozzle.

Blower-attached product applicator, and method for dispensing a product into a moving airstream

Blower spray nozzle

A protective collar for a boring bit which interfaces with a boring head whereby shear forces developed during a boring operation are transmitted through the collar to the boring head, with minimal shear force being carried by mounting bolts. A collar is connected to a boring bit, wherein a head receptacle formed by the collar seatably receives a boring head with substantially close clearance so that shear forces during boring operations are transmitted from, the boring bit to the boring head through the collar. The preferred collar is fabricated from a pipe section, such as for example steel seamless pipe. In one embodiment, a bit recess is cut for interfacing with a boring bit at the head face connection thereof. A head recess is cut opposite the bit recess for providing an exit for the water spray from the nozzle thereof. In another embodiment, the collar has an inclined face with bores alignable with the bores in the boring head when the head is mounted within a receptacle in the collar. The boring bit is mountable on an inner interface surface with the bores in alignment for receiving threaded fasteners. In another embodiment, an opening is formed in the collar for receiving one end of the boring bit. When seated in the opening, the boring bit is engageable with the connection face of the head for receiving fasteners through a flange on the collar overlaying the end of the boring bit and the boring head.

Boring head and bit protective collar

A collared boring bit which interfaces with a boring head whereby shear forces developed during a boring operation are transmitted through the collar to the boring head, with minimal shear force being carried by the bolts. A bit collar is welded to a boring bit, wherein a head receptacle formed collectively of the bit collar and the boring bit seatably receives a boring head with substantially close clearance so that shear forces during boring operations are transmitted from the boring bit to the boring head through the bit collar. The preferred bit collar is fabricated from a pipe section, such as for example steel seamless pipe. A bit recess is cut for interfacing with a boring bit at the head face connection thereof. A head recess is cut opposite the bit recess for providing an exit for the water spray from the nozzle thereof. Both the bit recess and the head recess converge toward and communicate with a forward end of the pipe section, whereat a brace is welded transversely to interconnect the remaining left and right pipe components to thereby form the bit collar. It is preferred for carbide weld beads to be crisscrossingly placed upon the outer surface of the bit collar, as well as along the periphery of the head recess, to thereby add resistance to wear.
