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.
Claims11
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;
- 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 removably coupled to each other thereby affixing the blower and the pump, wherein the user interface is operable to control the motor and the pump motor when the blower connector and the pump connector are coupled to each other, and wherein the pump user interface is obstructed by the blower when the blower connector and the pump connector are coupled to each other, and wherein the pump user interface is operable to control the pump when the blower connector and the pump connector are not coupled to each other.
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;
- 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 removably coupled to each other thereby affixing the blower and the pump, and wherein the pump user interface is obstructed by the blower when the blower connector and the pump connector are coupled to each other, and wherein the user interface and the pump user interface are both operable when the blower connector and the pump connector are coupled to each other, and wherein the pump user interface is operable to control the pump when the blower connector and the pump connector are not coupled to each other.
