A Utilitarian Device For Connection To An Internal Combustion Engine

Abstract: powered apparatus constitutes a utilitarian device removably mounted on an internal combustion engine. That engine has a housing, a vertical crankshaft, and an engine coupling connected to the upper end of the crankshaft. The utilitarian device includes a body and a drive connector that is removably coupled to the crankshaft to receive rotational force from the internal combustion engine. The weight of the utilitarian device is carried by a support bearing which is fixedly connected to either the body or the engine coupling and releasably engages the other of the body and the engine coupling.
