A vacuum cleaner tool having a brush head, a rotatable duct, and a hinge. The rotatable duct is configured to receive a hose or wand and rotates about the hinge relative to the brush head, between a use position and storage position. In a storage position, the rotatable duct extends generally parallel, or in-line with the brush head and, in a use position, the rotatable duct extends generally perpendicular to the brush head. The vacuum cleaner tool may removably attach to the vacuum cleaner via a release on one end of the brush head interacting with a fixed catch on the vacuum cleaner.

Embodiments of the present invention described herein relate to vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaners described herein can include a motor, a lid, a collection receptacle, and at least one support member to permit access to the interior of the vacuum cleaner. Also described herein are vacuum cleaners having a motor, a lid, a collection receptacle, and an accessory holder that can be pivotally mounted to the collection receptacle to permit access to the contents thereof.

A vacuum tool that is removably couplable to a hose or wand of a vacuum.

A vacuum tool configured to be removably coupled to hose or wand of a vacuum includes a body including a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The vacuum tool also includes a head coupled to the first end of the body, a connection portion coupled to the second end of the body and configured to couple the body to a hose or wand of a vacuum cleaner, and a brush coupled to the head. The brush includes an elongate support defining a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and configured to couple the brush to the head, and a plurality of bristles positioned on the elongate support.

A pet grooming kit may include (a) a canister having a handle, a canister vacuum port, and a screen through which air can pass; (b) a base having a latch configured to releasably secure the canister to the base; a clip; a base vacuum port that is fluidly coupled to the canister vacuum port when the canister is releasably secured to the base; a filter; and a vacuum system that draws a vacuum through the vacuum port, the canister vacuum port, the screen and the filter; (c) a plurality of tools; and (d) a flexible hose having a vacuum-engaging end that is configured to be releasably coupled to the vacuum port and that has a vacuum-end power connection, a tool-engaging end that has a tool-end power connection and that is configured to either releasably secure one of the plurality of tools or be releasably secured by the clip.

A vacuum cleaner configured to be mounted in a vehicle. The vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum module configured to draw a vacuum, and a collector module configured to collect debris, the collector module having an accessible portion and a liner. A duct operatively couples the vacuum module to the collector module. In addition, a release member is disposed on the top portion of the collector module and is moveable between a resting position and a release position. A locking bar is in contact with the release member and has a portion adapted to engage the liner of the collector module when the release member is in a resting position. Upon actuating the release member towards the release position, the release member moves the portion of the locking bar out of engagement with the liner and the collector module is disengaged from the vacuum module.

A cleaner holder includes: a first body having a first charging port configured to charge a cleaner; a second body protruding to a front side of the first body; and a battery accommodating space recessed downward from an upper surface of the second body to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner, wherein a second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the battery accommodating space, and a cleaner guide configured to perform guiding such that terminals of the cleaner come into contact with the first charging port is provided in the second body.

Described are methods, apparatuses, and systems for securing a vacuum appliance to a vacuum device including a first locking adapter that includes a tab and a second locking adapter that includes a receiving slot. The first and second adapters form an airtight seal when the tab is received by the slot by rotating one adapter relative to the other. The receiving slot can include a slot terminus to restrict rotational movement of the first adapter relative to the second. The apparatus can further include a securing slot that can secure the tab within a slot terminus such that a portion of the second locking adapter adjacent to the receiving slot is adapted to flex. Through the described rotation, the first and second adapters tighten and become rigid thus minimizing both the slippage between these two elements and the leakage between the vacuum device and any attached appliances.
