Abstract
A vacuum assembly includes a motor assembly having an intake port and an exhaust port that is configured to rest over a container with an opening. The assembly includes a motor to create and airflow that is filtered so as to discharge any objects or particles pulled up in the airflow. A plurality of arms locate the motor assembly over the container. The assembly includes an expandable seal assembly with an inflatable seal to selectively inflate and expand outward beneath the plurality of arms and seal off the container.
Claims15
A vacuum assembly, comprising:
- a motor assembly having an intake port and an exhaust port;
- a motor within the motor assembly configured to induce an airflow inward through the intake port and outward through the exhaust port;
- an exchange port in the motor assembly, the exchange port configured to filter out the airflow pulled to the exhaust port, the exchange port configured to discharge beneath the motor assembly;
- a plurality of arms coupled to the motor assembly configured to stabilize the motor assembly;
- a plurality of arms coupled to the motor assembly and configured to stabilize and suspend the motor assembly;
- and
- an expandable seal assembly below the plurality of arms and configured to selectively inflate expand outward beneath the plurality of arms.
A vacuum assembly for capturing objects in a container, comprising:
- a motor assembly having an intake port and an exhaust port;
- a motor within the motor assembly configured to induce an airflow inward through the intake port and outward through the exhaust port;
- an exchange port in the motor assembly, the exchange port configured to filter out the airflow from the captured objects;
- a plurality of arms coupled to the motor assembly configured to locate the motor assembly over the container;
- an expandable seal assembly configured to inflate and seal the motor assembly to the container;
- and
- an arm coupled to the motor assembly configured to stabilize the motor assembly on the container.
A vacuum assembly for capturing objects in a container, comprising:
- a motor assembly having an intake port and an exhaust port;
- a motor within the motor assembly configured to induce an airflow inward through the intake port and outward through the exhaust port;
- an exchange port in the motor assembly, the exchange port configured to filter out the airflow from the captured objects;
- a plurality of arms coupled to the motor assembly configured to locate the motor assembly over an area;
- a pair of arms coupled to the motor assembly configured to stabilize the motor assembly on the container;
- and
- an inflatable seal and webbing configured to selectively inflate, the inflatable seal and webbing configured to expand outward from the exchange port and seal against the container, the inflatable seal being located below the pair of arms.
