  • Patent number: 5916136
    Abstract: The aspiration device for vehicle engine exhaust systems includes a main housing having a top, a bottom and sidewalls with an open front and an open back. The open front has a larger cross-sectional area than the back and it is adapted to be mounted in the air stream of a vehicle. The device has an aerodynamic wing and a hollow inside with a wide leading edge and a narrow trailing edge and can be mounted within the main housing such that the leading edge of the wing faces the open front of the main housing. The trailing edge of the aerodynamic wing faces the open back of the main housing. The wing is located within the main housing so as to permit passage of air over and under the wing when the device is mounted in the air stream of a vehicle and the vehicle is moving forward. The wing has an exhaust outlet at the trailing edge and the wing has an exhaust inlet located on a sidewall of the main housing for attachment to a vehicle exhaust system.

  • Patent number: 5208941
    Abstract: The present invention involves a high power vacuum attachment apparatus with infinite adjustability and includes a housing with side walls, a top and a back, and with an open front and an open bottom. A gate located within the housing divides it into two compartments and is slidably mounted so as to be moved up and down within the housing. The top of the housing has an orifice through which an adjustment mechanism passes and is connected to the gate. Preferably, the side walls have a greater width at the open front than at the rear wall so as to taper rearwardly. Also, this attachment may include a vacuum pipe connected to the housing which functions as a handle, a vacuum line and may include an adjustable air valve. In preferred embodiments, squeegees are included along the bottoms of the housing walls.
