Abstract: A vacuum attachment tool includes a hollow body extending from a first end to a second end and defining a flow path, and a conduit connector disposed at the second end of the hollow body. The conduit connector includes an inner collar having an inner diameter sized to receive a first vacuum conduit having a first diameter, and an outer collar having an inner diameter sized to receive a second vacuum conduit having a second diameter greater than the first diameter. The outer collar is formed separately from the inner collar and is coupled to the inner collar.

Abstract: A motor cover includes a lattice structure defining a plurality of vent openings that provide ventilation of the motor cover. Each vent opening of the plurality of vent openings is defined by a first cross member, a second cross member, a first side member, and a second side member of the lattice structure. The second cross member is spaced vertically below the first cross member and the first side member is spaced horizontally forward from the second side member. Each of the first and second side members extend from the first cross member to the second cross member. The second cross member extends further outward from a central vertical axis of the motor cover than the first cross member, and the first side member extends further outward from the central longitudinal axis than the second side member.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaning system includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet, a motor connected to the housing and configured to generate air flow through the housing from the inlet to the outlet, and a debris container received within the housing in a first direction. The debris container includes a knob that is rotatable about an axis and includes a first cam and a second cam. Rotation of the knob about the axis causes the first cam to engage the housing and thereby move the debris container in the first direction, and causes the second cam to engage the housing and thereby move the debris container in a second direction.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaning system includes a housing, a motor connected to the housing, a debris container, a filter assembly, and a stop. The housing defines an inlet, an outlet, and a receptacle. The motor is adapted to generate air flow through the housing from the inlet to the outlet. The debris container is slidable into and out of the housing receptacle. The stop is connected to the housing and adapted to inhibit mounting the debris container when the filter assembly is absent from the debris container.

Each vent opening of the plurality of vent openings is defined by a first cross member, a second cross member, a first side member, and a second side member of the lattice structure. The second cross member is spaced vertically below the first cross member and the first side member is spaced horizontally forward from the second side member. Each of the first and second side members extend from the first cross member to the second cross member. The second cross member extends further outward from a central vertical axis of the motor cover than the first cross member, and the first side member extends further outward from the central longitudinal axis than the second side member.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner tube assembly includes an outer tube defining a vacuum passage extending from a first end to a second end and an inner tube disposed at least partially within the vacuum passage and connected to the outer tube for telescopic adjustment. The inner tube includes a first end and a second end distal from the first end. The vacuum tube assembly further includes an adjustment clamp connected to the second end of the outer tube. The adjustment clamp includes a clamp body with an inner diameter connected to the second end of the outer tube. The adjustment clamp also includes a lever connected to the clamp body and moveable between a first, latched position and a second, unlatched position to permit selective adjustment of the inner diameter of the clamp body and selective clamping between the clamp body and the inner tube.

Abstract: A vacuum accessory tool that includes a nozzle body having a first end and a second, spaced apart end and at least one light emitting element that emits light that will illuminate a surface to be cleaned by the accessory tool is described. The light emitting element is protected by a protective housing that protects the element when the tool is inserted into areas during cleaning, yet still allows the light to illuminate surfaces during operation.
