A vacuum cleaner attachment is disclosed having a concave vacuum head with a swivel joint that permits swiveling of the vacuum head only within the plane of the vacuum head. The concave vacuum head can have a curvature that is similar to the curvature of a cylindrical surface to be vacuumed. Thus, while a user manipulates the conduit providing the air suction to the vacuum head, the concave surface can be supported and swiveled around the circumference of the cylindrical surface to be vacuumed, while the vacuum head is also moved along the length of the cylindrical surface. Throughout this movement of the concave vacuum head, the concave opening of the concave vacuum head can stay in closer proximity and conformity to the cylindrical surface than is possible using a fixed vacuum head with a flat opening, thereby making cleaning of the cylindrical surface more effective and efficient.

A vent cleaner that is easily adjustable with a simple squeezing action. The trigger on the handle of the vent cleaner, is squeezed to extend it to the desired height required. The general purpose of the invention is to provide a tool for a user at ground level to conveniently clean a vent that is at an elevated position relative to the user. The vent cleaner can accommodate a plurality of attachments via the C-joint end.

A vacuum attachment apparatus for use on conventional service station or car wash vacuums is described. The apparatus is equipped with a rubberized female portion disposed on a wide end of the apparatus, which is configured to mate onto the default vacuum hose end. The apparatus facilitates the cleaning of small crevices with a commercial or industrial vacuum, which conventionally has too large of an intake to reach crevices such as those found between the seats of vehicles, under the seats, within the dash, and in other common locations standard on most contemporary vehicles.

A non-marring nozzle attachment that may be used with a vacuum device to clean delicate surfaces such as lint screens. The non-marring nozzle attachment may use a non-marring material with a beveled surface to allow for a vacuum to safely and effectively clean delicate surfaces. The non-marring nozzle attachment may further include spaced slits to allow for more intimate contact between the nozzle tip and a surface to be cleaned. The vacuum device may be mounted near the desired area of use to a variety of rigid surfaces without having to penetrate the rigid surface with nails or screws.

An apparatus for cleaning mops comprising a top plate adapted to be engaged upon and spaced apart from a floor surface so as to form a cavity therebetween, an open face formed along an edge between the top plate and the floor surface and a plurality of protrusions extending from the top plate in a direction toward the floor surface, spaced apart along the open face, and a conduit extending between a proximate and a distal end, the proximate end extending through the top plate so as to place an interior of the conduit in fluid connection with the cavity, the distal end having a connector operable to be engaged in fluidic communication with an in-wall vacuum outlet. A method for cleaning a mop comprising passing a mop across a floor surface in proximity to an opening formed between a top plate and the floor surface, the top plate engaged upon the floor surface around a periphery thereof forming a cavity between the top plate and the floor surface, with the opening along an edge thereof into the cavity, agitating at least one element of the mop against at least one protrusion extending from the top plate into the opening; and drawing air and contents of the cavity through a conduit into an outlet of an in-wall wall vacuum system.

An electric blower includes a motor unit, a shaft, a centrifugal impeller, a fan cover, a motor unit case, and a bracket located away from centrifugal impeller and toward motor unit in a direction in which a central axis of the shaft extends. The bracket includes a first portion located outward of the vent in a radial direction, and a second portion located outward of the first portion and outward of an outer circumference of the motor unit case in the radial direction. A first airflow passage and a second airflow passage are formed in the bracket, the first and second airflow passages communicate with an airflow passage formed by the centrifugal impeller and the fan cover.

A main unit and a hose of a cleaner may be connected via a connecting portion constituted by a ball joint. The hose may be wound around a hose holding portion and stored at a front end storage so that it can be held to the main unit in a compact manner.

A trap for use with a vacuum cleaner includes a trap body formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The trap body includes a suction opening formed at one axial end to suck in a target to be trapped and an insertion opening formed at the other end to be inserted into a vacuum cleaner. An adhesive is provided on at least a portion of an inner surface of the trap body. The trap for use with a vacuum cleaner includes a net portion. The net portion blocks a plane orthogonal to an axial direction of the trap body. The net portion includes a net formed in at least a portion to transmit air sucked in through the suction opening. The trap body includes a protrusion formed on at least a portion in a circumferential direction of an outer surface thereof to protrude outward.

The present invention relates to a solar-powered vacuum device primarily comprised of a telescopic first end that can receive at least one attachment, a removable canister, and at least one solar panel that powers at least one battery. A vacuum motor of the device can be powered by the battery, such that the vacuum can be used in any environment. The device is also comprised of at least one shoulder strap that allows the device to be used hands-free. In addition, the body of the device is primarily comprised of at least one light source that illuminates the area around the vacuum.

A vacuum dusting attachment including a semi-flexible, elongated, thin, flat cleaning portion for tight spaces having multiple dust collecting chambers and aperture openings for equalizing and maximizing vacuum suction, light elements for improving visual efficiency, side edge brushes for loosening dust and increased dust capture, and a detachable, microfiber mesh cover for the cleaning portion for dust capture and retention; and a connected swivel handle portion including an ergonomically designed cushioned hand portion with soft raised ridges and bumps for non-slippage. An additional independent accordion hose extension vacuum attachment for use with aforesaid dusting attachment or other devices is provided, manufactured to withstand vacuum suction so as to retain desired lengths and bends to reach distant target areas, increasing flexibility when handling an attached dusting attachment, while collapsing for less space, and including a grip disk at one end, and an ergonomic handle on an opposite end, both for handling while in the act of extending, collapsing, and bending.
