Abstract
A vacuum producing suction and air blowing simultaneously at a same surface of the device, is disclosed here in. A pump and compressor work simultaneously to both blow and suck air through a dual-line hose. A pressure gradient is created between the surface of the device and a surface being cleaned, due to high pressure being created by the air blowing, and low pressure being created by the air sucking. This causes dust, dirt, and the like to be pulled from the surface being cleaned and sucked in a suction portal, and into a suction line of the dual-line hose. This can be accomplished with a central vacuum system or standalone vacuum.
Claims18
A vacuum comprising:
- a vacuum pump and compressor;
- a first pipe and a second pipe operatively connected, respectively, to said vacuum pump and compressor at a first end of each said pipe, and further operatively connected, respectively, to a first and second portal at a second end of each said pipe;
- wherein said first portal and said second portal open on a same side of a business end of a vacuum cleaner and a direction of airflow at said first portal is opposite a direction of airflow at said second portal such that said first portal blows air and said second portal sucks air;
- and
- wherein said first portal is at least three first portals which creates with said single second portal a triangular pressure region focusing a pressure gradient from a wide surface region to a narrow surface region, such that a greater suction gradient is produced at said narrow surface region, location of said second portal, than at said wide surface region, location of said three first portals.

A central vacuum system comprising:
- a vacuum pump operatively connected to vacuum piping;
- a compressor operatively connected to air blowing piping;
- a storage container operatively connected to said vacuum piping;
- a wall mounted vacuum port operatively connected to said vacuum piping;
- a wall mounted air blowing port operatively connected to said air blowing piping;
- a dual line hose further comprising a first line of said dual line hose operatively connected with said wall mounted vacuum port, and a second line of said dual line hose operatively connected with said wall mounted air blowing port;
- a handle at said dual line hose between said wall mounted vacuum port and a vacuum base, said vacuum base having a generally linear surface;
- a suction portal opening into said generally linear surface and substantially transverse to said generally linear surface, said suction portal being operatively connected to said first line of said dual line hose and to said vacuum pump;
- and
- at least one air blowing portal opening into said generally linear surface substantially planar with said suction portal and substantially transverse to said generally linear surface, operatively connected to said second line of said dual line hose and to said compressor;
- wherein said vacuum base comprises a defined front and back side thereof, and said suction portal is closer to said front side of said vacuum base than said at least one air blowing portal;
- and
- said generally linear surface further comprising three air blowing portals positioned on the backside portion of said generally linear surface, positioned opposite of a single suction portal situated along a front side portion of said generally linear surface.

A vacuum comprising:
- a top portion having a handle disposed on an opposite side of a base of said vacuum with a vacuum body there-between;
- a vacuum pump operatively connected to vacuum piping, and a vacuum compressor operatively connected to air blowing piping;
- a storage container operatively placed between said vacuum pump and said vacuum piping;
- at least one suction portal opening into a bottom generally linear surface of said base and substantially transverse thereto;
- at least one air blowing portal opening into said generally linear surface of said base and substantially transverse thereto, wherein a net gain of air pressure due to air flowing out of said at least one air blowing portal and into said at least one air suction portal is a maximum of zero;
- wherein said suction portal of said vacuum is operatively connected with said vacuum piping, such that air is pulled from said suction portal toward said vacuum pump, and said air blowing portal of said vacuum is operatively connected with said air blowing piping, such that air is propelled from said vacuum compressor toward said air blowing portal and
- wherein said at least one air blowing portal is three air blowing portals positioned on the backside portion of said generally linear surface, positioned opposite said at least one suction portal which is situated along a front side portion of said generally linear surface.
