Publication number: 20220322899Abstract: A vacuum tool is configured to be removably coupled to a hose or wand of a vacuum. The vacuum tool comprises a first portion, a second portion, a flexible portion and a mechanical joint. The first portion and the second portion are connected by the flexible portion and coupled by the mechanical joint, so these portions are in fluid communication from various angles. And the mechanical joint comprises a detent and multiple recesses coupled to the detent. As a result, a user can use the vacuum tool in various situations more conveniently by bending the mechanical joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Kyle Reeder, Ellen M. Owens, Jonathan Lowry, Alexander J. Goodman, Christopher J. Metcalf, Scott T. Moeller
