Abstract: Collector for attachment to a vacuum cleaner to collect particulates spilling out of a drum during mixing.

Abstract: Collector for attachment to a vacuum cleaner and for preventing particulates from spilling out of a drum during mixing. The collector has a body with opposing curved end, an outer and inner surface, a first and second vacuum port extending from the outer to the inner surface, first and second angled hollow pipes, each having a tubular body with an outer end for attachment to a vacuum cleaner and an inner end mounted to the outside surface of the body and received by the first or second vacuum port, the tubular body having a first portion and a second portion which meet at an angle at a point along the body. When the collector is placed in the drum, the first and second pipes rest on the drum's rim, such that when a vacuum cleaner is connected to the pipes, particulates present in the drum are sucked into vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: The present invention provides a particulate collection apparatus for use in mixing powdery substances such as mortar and grout into a paste like workable compound. The particulate collection apparatus engages a top surface of a mixing container. The particulate collection apparatus includes a plurality of equidistant spaced openings, preferably along its top surface which extend into a hollowed member. The hollowed member further includes an exteriorly situate opening which mates with a vacuum hose. As such the vacuum creates a downward draft that draws billowing particulates through the hollowed member and into a vacuum storage container.
