The present invention discloses a dustpan apparatus integrated with a vacuum assembly. The apparatus comprises a dust collector assembly having a top wall, a bottom wall and a rear wall. At least a portion of a periphery of the top wall, the bottom wall and the rear wall adjoins to define a vacuum housing having a front suction inlet. Further, the top wall defines a dust pan configuration. The apparatus further comprises a handle attached to the dust collector assembly. Further, a motor assembly disposed at the handle is in fluid communication with the suction inlet of the vacuum housing. A filter assembly is disposed between the vacuum housing and the motor assembly. The motor assembly is configured to generate an air stream from the suction inlet to the vacuum housing, thereby enabling suction of debris via the suction inlet.

The invention relates to a tongue cleaner for cleaning the tongue of a patient, comprising a main part and a handle section. The main part is paired with at least one cleaning region for cleaning and suctioning deposits on the tongue, wherein a first cleaning region has at least one elastic cleaning lip, which is being paired with at least one suction opening such that the suction opening is aligned at least parallel to the movement plane of the cleaning movement.

A vacuum cleaner, movable over a surface, includes a suction source, a suction port, and a dustpan attachment removably coupled to the suction port. The dustpan attachment includes a housing, a vacuum port, and a recess defined within the housing. The housing includes a top wall and a plurality of walls extending from the top wall to a bottom edge configured to contact the surface. The vacuum port extends through at least the top wall or one of the plurality of walls and is coupled to the suction port. When the bottom edge contacts the surface, the recess cooperates with the surface to form a suction channel having a suction inlet formed in a front of the housing and in communication with the vacuum port. The housing defines first and second ends. The bottom edge includes a sealing material that contacts the surface continuously between the first and second ends.

A handheld vacuum assembly for the capture and collection of small insects that includes a vacuum body defining a suction chamber, a motor operably configured to generate a vacuum downstream in the suction chamber, a funnel member defining a suction channel located downstream of the suction chamber and a suction channel area therein, a valve disposed within the suction channel that is configured to open and close to inhibit or prevent insects from leaving the funnel member, and a filter assembly disposed upstream of the suction channel, downstream of the motor, having a porous membrane member, having a filter cap selectively removably coupled to the porous membrane member and having a plurality of selectively removable strips disposed thereon and each having an adhesive surface oriented in a direction facing the distal tip of the funnel member.

An apparatus configured to collect dust from a ceiling fan blade, comprises: a body comprising an internal air flow chamber; a plurality of bristles configured to extend from a surface of the body; a plurality of holes located along the surface of the body, wherein the plurality of holes is configured to provide air suction; a vacuum hose connector configured to connect to a vacuum hose, wherein the vacuum hose connector is configured to allow air from the internal air flow chamber to exit the body. In one embodiment, the body further comprises: an internal surface and an external surface, wherein each of the plurality of holes and plurality of bristles are located only on the interior surface of the body. In a second embodiment, each of the plurality of holes and bristles are located along the interior and exterior surfaces of the body.

A nozzle with a knee and housing unit for attachment to hose of a vacuum cleaner with an elongated unit for contact with suction area, as a floor. Housing and elongated unit are flexible joined so for easy maneuverability of nozzle. The elongated unit forms a thin and flat narrow shape which is partially enclosed and has a certain air volume capacity. The elongated unit is made narrower towards the end from knee and housing unit and has a flat floor surface and panel with suction openings facing suction area. The air suction openings have different diameters and size based on distance from source of air suction which optimize the effect of suction and allows suction from all directions.

A vacuum cleaner is described herein that includes an integral articulating foot. When the powered nozzle of the vacuum cleaner is removed, the articulating foot allows the user to access small, hard to reach places with high air flow velocity. The articulating foot remains in planar contact with the floor when the body of the vacuum cleaner is rotated up and down. No accessories need to be attached or unattached from the vacuum cleaner in order to use the articulating foot.

A vacuum attachment for removing hair and/or fibrous debris from a crevice or surface being cleaned is disclosed herein. The vacuum attachment includes an attachment body portion, a first end of the attachment body portion configured to be connected to a vacuum hose, and the attachment body portion defining an air intake aperture at a second end of the attachment body portion; and an elongated rod disposed across a portion of the air intake aperture at the second end of the attachment body portion, the elongated rod including a plurality of protruding elements projecting outwardly from the elongated rod, the plurality of protruding elements being disposed at least partially around a periphery of the elongated rod and along at least a portion of a length of the elongated rod between the first end and the second end. A manual brush for removing hair and/or fibrous debris is also disclosed herein.

A system includes a dust removal head having an air input assembly, a vacuum output assembly, a high pressure zone and a low pressure zone. The air input assembly is configured for connection to a pressurized air source. The vacuum output assembly is configured for connection to a vacuum machine. The high pressure zone is in fluid communication with the air input assembly. The low pressure zone surrounds the high pressure zone, is in fluid communication with the high pressure zone, and is in fluid communication with the vacuum output assembly. A method of removing dust from a surface using a machine comprises directing pressurized air toward the surface to dislodge the dust from the surface and entrain the dust in a moving air stream within a high pressure zone shroud, conveying the dust-entrained air flow to a low pressure zone container and removing it using a vacuum.

A vacuum tool is removably couplable to a hose or wand of a vacuum. The vacuum tool includes a frustoconical head portion, a base portion, and fasteners. The frustoconical head portion includes a distal end of the vacuum tool, an interior support body, and an outer layer. The distal end has a central inlet opening and an annular distal face. The interior support body has a central conduit and fastener receiving recesses. The outer layer includes rubber and forms at least a portion of the annular distal face and an entirety of an outer lateral surface of the frustoconical head portion. The base portion includes a flared portion and a tubular portion. The flared portion has a maximum outer diameter and fastener access openings. The tubular portion has an outer diameter, a central conduit, and a proximal end of the vacuum tool.
