Abstract
Presented are a method and apparatus for attachment and evacuation. The apparatus includes a housing having an opening, and a motor maintained within the housing, the motor operable to urge a fluid to pass through the opening. The apparatus further includes an adjustable element maintained within the opening, the adjustable element operable to change a size of the opening to a plurality of different diameters, and a knob moveably affixed to the housing, the knob operable to change the adjustable element to the plurality of different diameters.
Claims17
An apparatus for evacuation, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a housing having an opening;
- (b) a motor maintained within the housing, the motor operable to urge a fluid to pass through the opening;
- (c) an adjustable element maintained within the opening, the adjustable element operable to change a size of the opening to a plurality of different diameters;
- and
- (d) a knob moveably affixed to the housing, the knob operable to change the adjustable element to the plurality of different diameters, wherein the adjustable element comprises a plate having a plurality of different sized holes rotatably affixed to the housing, wherein the plate with the knob is operable to locate each one of the plurality of different sized holes with the opening.
A method of evacuation, the method comprising:
- (a) providing an evacuation system comprising housing having an opening, a motor maintained within the housing, the motor operable to urge a fluid to pass through the opening, an adjustable element maintained within the opening, the adjustable element operable to change a size of the opening to a plurality of different diameters, and a knob moveably affixed to the housing, the knob operable to change the adjustable element to the plurality of different diameters;
- and
- (b) evacuating, by the motor, a fluid through the opening, wherein the adjustable element comprises a plate having a plurality of different sized holes rotatably affixed to the housing, wherein the plate with the knob is operable to locate each one of the plurality of different sized holes with the opening.
An apparatus for evacuation, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a blower having a housing that maintains a motor, a user interface, an opening, a blower power supply, a filter, a blower connector, and an adjustable element, the motor operable to urge a fluid to pass through the opening and the adjustable element, the filter operable to filter extraneous materials from the fluid that passes through the opening and the adjustable element, the adjustable element operable to change a size of the opening to a plurality of different diameters, the user interface operable to control the motor, wherein the adjustable element comprises a plate having a plurality of different sized holes rotatably affixed to the housing, wherein the plate is operable to locate each one of the plurality of different sized holes with the opening;
- and
- (b) a pump having a housing that maintains a pump motor, a pump user interface, a pump port, a pump power supply, a pump connector, and a pump filter, the pump motor operable to urge a fluid to pass through the pump port, the pump filter operable to filter extraneous materials from the fluid that passes through the pump port, wherein the blower connector and the pump connector are operable to be coupled to each other thereby affixing the blower and the pump, wherein the pump user interface is operable to control the pump when the blower connector is not coupled to the pump connector, and wherein the user interface is operable to control the blower and the pump when the blower connector and the pump connector are coupled together.
