Abstract
A vacuum cleaner dusting attachment. An attachment member is connected to a vacuum cleaner hose at a first end of the attachment member. The second end of the attachment member is attached to a dusting member. The first end of the attachment member is aligned with the second end of the attachment member with respect to a longitudinal axis. The dusting member is maintained attached to the attachment member by a plurality of support members extending from the dusting member to the attachment member. The support members are configured to create a vortex for suctioning dust.
Claims29
A vacuum cleaner attachment, comprising:
- an attachment member having a longitudinal axis, said attachment member extending along said axis from a first end, attachable to a vacuum hose, to a second end, mounting a dusting member thereon;
- and
- a plurality of support members interconnecting said dusting member to said attachment member, said plurality of support members creating a vortex within said vacuum cleaner attachment for suctioning dust into said vacuum cleaner attachment;
- wherein each of said plurality of support members has a first end in engagement with said dusting member, each of said first ends being angled relative to said axis of elongation.
