Abstract: An electrified vacuum cleaner hose adapter for electrically and mechanically interconnecting an electrified vacuum cleaner hose with an electrified vacuum cleaner wand or accessory, comprises a handle portion which includes two tubular portions set at an angle to each other, an inlet member for connecting to a vacuum cleaner hose and an outlet member for connecting to the vacuum cleaner wand or accessory. Electrical connectors are provided at each end of the handle portion of the adapter for connecting with corresponding electrical conductors of the hose and wand, respectively. Electrical conductors extend between the connectors. The connectors and the electrical conductors are covered by a projecting member which defines a closed passage in the handle portion for enclosing the electrical connectors and conductors and for serving as a manually grippable protrusion on the handle portion. A switch may be provided in the projecting portion to control the electrified wand or accessory connected to the adapter.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner hose adapter comprises a generally cylindrical housing which connects at one end to an electrified vacuum cleaner hose receptacle and which connects at the other end to a vacuum cleaner hose. An electrical contact arrangement is provided to connect with the electrified vacuum cleaner hose receptacle and to bring the power to a first electrical connector on the adapter. In use, a standard-type vacuum cleaner hose may be inserted into the adapter and the electrical power cord thereof be engaged with the electrical connector on the adapter. The adapter is then plugged into the vacuum cleaner hose receptacle for electrically contacting the electrical contacts of the vacuum cleaner hose receptacle to provide power to the electrical connector.
