Vacuum hose attachment apparatus
View Patent ↗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.
1. A crevice cleaning tool adapter apparatus, comprising:
a body, said body having a crevice tool end and a vacuum hose connection end;
said crevice tool end comprising a tube and an intake opening,
said vacuum hose connection end fluidically connected to said intake opening and configured to receive a default nozzle, said vacuum hose connection end comprising a channel sized and shaped to extend around an outer perimeter of an intake end of the default nozzle allowing the intake end to fit inside said channel when assembled, said vacuum hose connection end comprising at least one protrusion configured to extend from inside said channel in a direction opposite said crevice tool end and sized and shaped to fit inside the intake end of the default nozzle when assembled.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said at least one protrusion is a one protrusion configured to extend in a direction opposite said crevice tool end and sized and shaped to fit inside the intake end of the default nozzle when assembled.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said at least one protrusion is a two protrusions configured to extend in a direction opposite said crevice tool end and sized and shaped to fit inside the intake end of the default nozzle when assembled.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said intake opening is angled at its distal end;
wherein a widest width of said tube is perpendicular to a widest width of said vacuum hose connection end; and
wherein said widest width of said tube is perpendicular to a widest width of said at least one protrusion.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said intake opening is angled at its distal end and comprises at least one ridge formed by adjacent notches in said intake opening.
6. A crevice cleaning tool adapter apparatus, comprising:
a body, said body having a crevice tool end and a vacuum hose connection end;
said crevice tool end comprising a tube and an intake opening,
said vacuum hose connection end fluidically connected to said intake opening and configured to receive a default nozzle, said vacuum hose connection end comprising a channel sized and shaped to extend around an outer perimeter of an intake end of the default nozzle allowing the intake end to fit inside said channel when assembled, said vacuum hose connection end comprising two protrusions both configured to extend from inside said channel in a direction opposite said crevice tool end and sized and shaped to fit inside the intake end of the default nozzle when assembled.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said intake opening is angled at its distal end;
wherein a widest width of said tube is perpendicular to a widest width of said vacuum hose connection end; and
wherein said widest width of said tube is perpendicular to a widest width of said at least one protrusion.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said intake opening is angled at its distal end and comprises at least one ridge formed by adjacent notches in said intake opening.
9. A crevice cleaning tool adapter apparatus, comprising:
a body, said body having a crevice tool end and a vacuum hose connection end;
said crevice tool end comprising a tube and an intake opening, wherein said intake opening is angled at its distal end;
wherein a widest width of said tube is perpendicular to a widest width of said vacuum hose connection end; and
wherein said widest width of said tube is perpendicular to a widest width of at least one protrusion, said vacuum hose connection end comprising said at least one protrusion; said vacuum hose connection end fluidically connected to said intake opening and configured to receive a default nozzle, said vacuum hose connection end comprising a channel sized and shaped to extend around an outer perimeter of an intake end of the default nozzle allowing the intake end to fit inside said channel when assembled.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein said intake opening is angled at its distal end and comprises at least one ridge formed by adjacent notches in said intake opening.
