  • Vacuum conduit attachment tool for connection to different sized vacuum conduits
    Patent number: 10278555
    Abstract: An attachment tool for a vacuum cleaning system includes a hollow body that extends from a first end to a second end and defines a flow path, and a conduit connector disposed at the second end of the body. The first end of the hollow body defines an inlet for receiving debris therethrough. The conduit connector includes an outer collar that defines a first inner engagement surface for connection to an outer diameter of a first vacuum conduit, and an inner collar that is concentric with the outer collar and defines a second inner engagement surface for connection to an outer diameter of a second vacuum conduit smaller than the outer diameter of the first vacuum conduit. The inner collar is axially offset from the outer collar towards the first end of the body.
