  • Vacuum bag attachment device
    Patent number: 4601735
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner bag which comprises a bag for receiving and retrieving dirt and debris picked up by a vacuum cleaner. The bag fabric at the open end of the bag is firmly attached to a semi-elastic circular band having a raised male internal rib. The band is adapted to slip over a corresponding circular male flange of the vacuum cleaner. The flange is provided with a female recess corresponding to the raised rib, so that the rib can engage and fit into the recess, preventing the bag from being blown off when the cleaner is in use. An attached tab fastened to the band assists the user in engaging and disengaging the bag from the cleaner.
