  • Publication number: 20150298312
    Abstract: A multi-segmented handle built in tiers, with vibration isolators separating one tier from the other tiers. The tier that connects via isolators with a machine base is the one to which the other tiers are attached. The tiers shape is circular or a series of circles to diminish the shock wave and each tiers tubes are filled with a vibration dampening element turning the tier into a harmonic absorber. Each tier has attachments to accommodate the isolators for attaching one tier to another tier. The shapes that the tiers take are not limited to circular but includes all shapes, curved or straight and the isolators include all types of isolators.

  • Patent number: 8584308
    Abstract: A portable vacuum cleaning system includes a portable vacuum unit for cleaning debris. The vacuum unit is powered by a self-contained first electric power storage device and may be carried with a strap in backpack-fashion. The system also includes a cart defining a receptacle for receiving the vacuum unit. The vacuum unit may be used when supported by the cart or when carried by an operator. A second electric power storage device is supported by the cart and electrically connectable to the vacuum unit for charging the first electric power storage device when the vacuum unit is supported by the cart. Further, when disposed in the cart, the vacuum unit is disposed at an angle of about 45 degrees allowing for ease of movement of the cart.

  • Publication number: 20120284951
    Abstract: A portable cleaning assembly includes a vacuum unit for vacuuming debris and a waste container for collecting waste separate from the vacuumed debris. The assembly also includes one or more batteries electrically connected to the vacuum unit for providing electric power. A transport mechanism supports the waste container, the vacuum unit, and the batteries to allow the free movement of the assembly about an area. The at least one battery is balanced in opposition with the vacuum unit to prevent tip-over of the cleaning assembly.

  • Publication number: 20100122428
    Abstract: A portable cleaning assembly includes a vacuum unit for cleaning debris, a waste container for collecting waste separate from the debris, and a transport mechanism for moving the waste container and the vacuum unit. The waste container includes a sidewall defining a cavity. At least part of the vacuum unit, i.e., a motor and/or a filter assembly, is disposed within the cavity. Batteries are stored in a housing of the transport mechanism for powering the vacuum unit. A top surface of the transport mechanism may also include an additional area to support an article besides the waste container.
