Vacuum attachment tool
The present disclosure provides a vacuum attachment tool configured to be attached to a vacuum hose. The vacuum attachment tool includes a hollow body extending between a first opening configured to be coupled to a vacuum hose and a second opening fluidly coupled with the first opening. The vacuum attachment tool also includes a scrapper portion is disposed on the hollow body and protrudes outward near the second opening. The scrapper portion includes a v-shape that is configured to correspond to a chamfered ground crevice for scraping debris out of the chamfered ground crevice.
1. A vacuum attachment tool comprising:
a hollow body;
a nozzle end of the hollow body having an intake opening for receiving air and debris, wherein a portion of a periphery of the intake opening is defined by two planar walls forming a v-shape;
an attachment end of the hollow body configured to be coupled to a vacuum remote from the hollow body that generates an air flow path from the intake opening through the hollow body; and
a scrapper portion separate from and disposed at the nozzle end of the hollow body, the scrapper portion having a leading edge defined in a v-shape along the portion of the periphery of the intake opening that is configured to correspond to a chamfered shape of a crevice for scraping debris from the crevice, wherein the v-shape defined by the leading edge of the scrapper portion protrudes radially outward from an interior of the air flow path.
2. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 1 , wherein the scrapper portion comprises a metal blade that defines the v-shape of the leading edge.
3. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 1 , wherein the scrapper portion comprises a rigid piece that is separate from the hollow body and that is attached at least partially along a distal edge of the nozzle end of the hollow body.
4. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 1 , wherein the leading edge of the scrapper portion comprises a first linear edge and a second linear edge of a planar plate that meet at a point and together define the v-shape that forms an angle configured to correspond to a crevice angle of the chamfered shape of the crevice.
5. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 4 , wherein the angle of the v-shape defined by the leading edge is between 30 degrees and 90 degrees.
6. A vacuum attachment tool comprising:
a hollow body comprising a nozzle end that has an intake opening and an attachment end for attachment to a vacuum that generates suction of air and debris along an interior suction path from the intake opening through the hollow body, wherein a portion of a periphery of the intake opening is defined by two planar walls forming a v-shape; and
a scrapper portion separate from and disposed at the nozzle end of the hollow body,
wherein the scrapper portion comprises a leading edge that defines a v-shape along the portion of the periphery of the intake opening so as to protrude radially outward from the interior suction path, and
wherein the v-shape of the leading edge is configured to correspond to a chamfered shape of a ground crevice.
7. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 6 , wherein the scrapper portion comprises a rigid member that defines the v-shape of the leading edge.
8. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 6 , wherein the v-shape of the leading edge protrudes a distance from the nozzle end of the hollow body that is less than a threshold depth of a ground crevice, and wherein the threshold depth is 30 mm.
9. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 6 , wherein the scrapper portion comprises a metal member that extends outward in a direction with the interior suction path beyond the hollow body to define the leading edge.
10. The vacuum attachment tool of claim 6 , further comprising a tubular wand extension attached to the attachment end of the hollow body and configured to attach to a hose of the vacuum.
11. A vacuum system comprising:
a vacuum appliance;
a vacuum hose attached to the vacuum appliance; and
a vacuum attachment tool attached to the vacuum hose, the vacuum attachment tool comprising:
a hollow body having an attachment end coupled to the vacuum hose and a nozzle end with an intake opening for receiving air and debris, wherein a portion of a periphery of the intake opening is defined by two planar walls forming a v-shape, and wherein air flow generated by the vacuum appliance is received from the intake opening through the hollow body along an air flow path therein; and
a scrapper portion separate from and disposed at the nozzle end of the hollow body, wherein the scrapper portion includes a leading edge defined along the portion of the periphery of the intake opening in a v-shape that is configured to correspond to a chamfered crevice for scraping debris out of the chamfered crevice, and wherein the v-shape defined by the leading edge of the scrapper portion protrudes radially outward from an interior of the air flow path.
