Abstract
A suction accessory device is provided, for the connection with a suction apparatus or vacuum cleaner, for the collection of waste in places of difficult access and/or in delicate objects. The suction accessory device comprises a flexible and lightweight hose. At one end, the hose includes a reducing coupling adapter terminal for connecting to a vacuum cleaner or suction device. At the opposite end, the hose includes a nozzle connection terminal that is coupled to a first end of a flexible or rigid, handle or brush tube. At a second end of the brush tube, the brush tube includes a head connection terminal which connects to interchangeable suction heads or nozzles.
Claims9
A suction accessory device, comprising:
- a flexible, first tubular member, comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the first tubular member having a length of 2 m and a diameter of between 1 to 4 cm;
- a second tubular member, comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the second tubular member having a length of 20 to 30 cm and a diameter of 1 to 4 cm, the proximal end of the second tubular member being connected to the distal end of the first tubular member;
- an interchangeable suction nozzle detachably connectable to the distal end of the second tubular member, the suction nozzle having a downwardly curved nozzle head that have one or more nozzle openings, one or more brushes attached to the one or more nozzle openings for cleaning in a downward direction, and a head connection terminal slidably and rotatably inserted onto an inner diameter of the nozzle head, the nozzle head having one or more first side openings, the head connection terminal having one or more second side openings, wherein one of the nozzle head and the head connection terminal is rotated relative to the other one of the nozzle head and the head connection terminal such that the one or more first side openings of the nozzle head and the one or more second side openings of the head connection terminals align with each other, and a degree of the alignment of the one or more first side openings with the one or more second side openings selectively adjusts an amount of air to be expelled through said one or more first side openings and said one or more second side openings and prevent said amount of air from reaching a vacuum cleaner hose;
- and
- a reducing coupling adapter terminal affixed to the proximal end of the first tubular member and configured to adapt the diameters of the first tubular member and the vacuum cleaner hose,
- wherein a proximal end of the reducing coupling adapter is configured to detachably connect to the vacuum cleaner hose, and the first tubular member has a smaller diameter and is more flexible than the vacuum cleaner hose, and
- wherein the second tubular member is made of metal or plastic that is less flexible than the first tubular member.
