Abstract

A vacuum attachment apparatus for use on conventional service station or car wash vacuums is described. The apparatus is equipped with a rubberized female portion disposed on a wide end of the apparatus, which is configured to mate onto the default vacuum hose end. The apparatus facilitates the cleaning of small crevices with a commercial or industrial vacuum, which conventionally has too large of an intake to reach crevices such as those found between the seats of vehicles, under the seats, within the dash, and in other common locations standard on most contemporary vehicles.

Claims (35)

1 . A crevice cleaning tool adapter apparatus for use on a default nozzle of an industrial/commercial vacuum comprising:

a body, said body having a narrow end and a wide end;

a rubberized female portion, said rubberized female portion disposed on said wide end;

a flattened tube, said flattened tube disposed on said narrow end; and

an intake opening, said intake opening disposed on said flattened tube.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said intake opening is angled.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said rubberized female portion is configured to stretch over the default nozzle of the industrial/commercial vacuum.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said wide end is rounded; and

wherein said wide end tapers outward towards said rubberized female portion.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said rubberized female portion is composed of a stretchable polymer.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said rubberized female portion is composed of a silicone composite.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a rim, said rim disposed on a circumference of said intake opening;

wherein said rim has an interior and an exterior;

ridges; and

wherein said ridges are disposed on an interior of said rim.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one hook; and

wherein said at least one hook is disposed on said intake opening.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein said at least one hook is curved.

10 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said rubberized female portion is configured to stretch over the default nozzle of the industrial/commercial vacuum.

11 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein said rubberized female portion is configured to stretch over the default nozzle of the industrial/commercial vacuum.

12 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said rubberized female portion is configured to stretch over the default nozzle of the industrial/commercial vacuum.

13 . The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:

at least one hook; and

wherein said at least one hook is disposed on said intake opening.

14 . A method for cleaning the crevices of a vehicle via a default nozzle of an industrial/commercial vacuum by a user comprising:

the user retrieving a vacuum hose attachment;

the user stretching a rubberized female portion of a wide end of the vacuum hose attachment over the default nozzle of the industrial/commercial vacuum, mating the vacuum hose attachment to the default nozzle;

orienting a narrow end of the vacuum hose attachment towards debris within crevices of the vehicle;

wherein the narrow end is opposite the wide end;

wherein the narrow end is angled;

wherein the narrow end is in communication with the wide end via a flattened tube;

the user employing an intake opening of the narrow end to capture debris within the vehicle; and

the debris traveling through the intake opening into the narrow end, to the wide end, and into the default nozzle of the industrial/commercial vacuum.
