  • Publication number: 20020157210
    Abstract: These tuned nozzle tip attachments or extension wand modifications are for leaf blowers, workshop or industrial type exhausting vacuums, compressed air guns/extensions, and abatement systems and facilitate a method of dust cloud sweeping. Protection of the operator, coworkers, ventilation systems, and equipment in peripheral areas from most of the back draft, billowing, uncontrollable, peripheral dust that normally occurs with current know art is greatly enhanced. By rapidly aspirating, momentarily retaining, continuously recycling and gripping the billowing peripheral cloud of dust/debris back into the primary cleaning air stream at the nozzle point of egress the associated dust cloud that normally occurs is harmlessly dissipated. The elongated deflecting surface contact area achieves this in a manner that provides the utmost operator control and nozzle aspiration of the airborne dust much the same way the airflow around an airplane wing is controlled and provides lift to an aircraft.
