Abstract
An air blower apparatus is described which has a blower unit, an attached base and a length of flexible hose used in combination to move volumes of air at speeds for the purpose of accelerating drying processes, for example, the drying of a freshly washed automobile. The apparatus is designed for operation with the blower unit remotely located from the user proximate ground level. The blower unit has a housing formed with an inlet and an outlet, and a motor inside having a shaft with blade means attached thereto for producing an air flow. The present invention also includes a base which is formed to attach the blower unit thereon for use close to or proximate ground level, and the base is also formed to position the blower unit thereon so that the inlet of the blower unit does not draw in debris close to or from the ground. The present invention also includes a hose which is flexible and attached to the blower housing outlet. The hose has a sufficient inner diameter to substantially maintain the air flow produced by the blower unit.
