Abstract
A kit for cleaning phonograph records including cleaning fluid, a brush and a record vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus. The record vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus is adapted to attach to a wet/dry shop vacuum cleaner which causes a suction to emanate from a longitudinal slot in the lower surface of the record vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus. The suction emanating from the longitudinal slot of the record vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus safely removes the dirt, dust, grease, grime and chemicals which are suspended in the cleaning fluid applied to the playing surface of the phonograph record.
Claims16
A record vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus for safely removing dirt, dust, grease, grime, chemicals and cleaning fluid on the surface of a phonograph record without damaging the playing surface of the phonograph record comprising:
- (a) a tube having a first end, a second end, a hollow interior, a top surface and a bottom surface;
- (b) a spindle mounting aperture means on the bottom of the first end of the tube for rotatably mounting the tube to a central spindle of a rotatable platter for phonograph records;
- (c) separation means for separating the tube from the playing surface of the phonograph record including
- (i) an interior separation means for separating the tube from the playing surface of the phonograph record which is attached to the bottom surface of the tube between the spindle mounting aperture means and the portion of the tube which covers the playing surface of the phonograph record and
- (ii) An exterior separation means for separating the tube from the playing surface of the phonograph record which is attached to the bottom surface of said tube between said interior separation means and said second end of said tube by a slidably locking holding means for slidably adjusting and locking the exterior separation means to permit the apparatus to be adjusted for cleaning phonograph records of different size playing surface;
- (d) an attachment means for attaching the record vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus to a vacuum cleaner means;
- (e) an opening in said bottom surface of said tube comprising a longitudinal slot which extends over the playing surface of the phonograph record when the phonograph record is placed onto the spindle of the rotatable platter and the vacuum cleaning attachment apparatus is mounted onto the rotatable platter by the spindle aperture mounting means;
- and,
- (f) a closure means for closing said first end of said tube between said spindle aperture mounting means and said opening.
