  • Patent number: 11224322
    Abstract: Vacuums including a hollow wand and a vacuum accessory are provided herein. The vacuum accessory is configured to releasably couple with the hollow wand. A first terminal is disposed at a distal end of the hollow wand. A second terminal is disposed at a proximal end of the vacuum accessory. The second terminal is configured to correspondingly electrically mate with the first terminal. A biasing member is operably coupled to one of the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein, when the hollow wand is releasably coupled to the vacuum accessory, the biasing member is compressed such that the first terminal and the second terminal are maintained in mating contact with each other.
