  • Patent number: 12644552
    Abstract: A tee coupling for coupling a handheld vacuum line to a main vacuum line of a commercial vacuum system without the need for external adapters includes a cylindrical main body portion with an axis, an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the main vacuum line segments, a downstream end and an upstream end extending in opposite directions from the main body portion along the same axis, the downstream end and the upstream end each having an inner diameter at least as large as the outer diameter of a main vacuum line segment. a third end extending from the main body portion at an angle that is typically not a right angle from the axis; and a throat between the third end and the main body portion. The throat meets the main body portion at an angle that is not 90 degrees and is biased toward the downstream end.

  • Patent number: 12215711
    Abstract: A vacuum motor assembly that includes a motor comprising a drive shaft; an impeller having a plurality of impeller blades spaced radially around a center portion of the impeller. An impeller cover that forms an air channel is spaced around the impeller and the impeller cover includes a front portion; a back portion engaged to the front portion; and a back support. The drive shaft of the motor passes through the drive shaft receiving hole of the back support and engages with the impeller. A front surface of the impeller defines a vertical plane and a first air channel interior distance from the front portion inner surface to the vertical plane within the airflow channel is greater than a second air channel interior distance measured from a back portion inner surface to the same vertical plane.
