Abstract

A vacuum bag includes a container portion having at least one opening. A threaded fitting is disposed in communication with the at least one opening, and the threaded fitting is configured for attachment to a vacuum nozzle of a vacuum cleaner.

Claims (55)

1. A vacuum bag, comprising:

a porous container portion for intake of debris comprising at least one opening, the container portion having a front wall and an opposite rear wall; and

a threaded fitting disposed in communication with the at least one opening, the threaded fitting being configured for attachment to a vacuum nozzle of a vacuum cleaner and being substantially centered on a horizontal axis of the front wall.

2. The vacuum bag of claim 1 , wherein

the container portion is made of a substantially flexible material.

3. The vacuum bag of claim 2 , wherein

the container portion is made of at least one of paper, non-woven material and woven material.

4. The vacuum bag of claim 1 , wherein

the threaded fitting is made of a substantially rigid material.

5. The vacuum bag of claim 1 , wherein

the threaded fitting is made of at least one of plastic, metal, cardboard and fiberboard.

6. A vacuum cleaner, comprising:

a vacuum bag comprising:

a porous container portion comprising at least one opening, the container portion having a front wall and an opposite rear wall; and

a threaded fitting disposed in communication with the at least one opening and substantially centered on a horizontal axis of the front wall; and

a vacuum nozzle comprising a threaded component that engages with the threaded fitting.

7. The vacuum cleaner of claim 6 , wherein

the threaded component is a rotating threaded lock ring.

8. The vacuum cleaner of claim 7 , wherein

the vacuum nozzle comprises a reduced diameter portion, and rotation of the threaded lock ring pulls the reduced diameter portion through the at least one opening.

9. The vacuum cleaner of claim 6 , wherein

the container portion is made of a substantially flexible material.

10. The vacuum cleaner of claim 9 , wherein

the container portion is made of at least one of paper, woven material and non-woven material.

11. The vacuum cleaner of claim 6 , wherein

the threaded fitting is made of a substantially rigid material.

12. The vacuum cleaner of claim 11 , wherein

the threaded fitting is made of at least one of plastic, metal, cardboard and fiberboard.

13. A vacuum bag, comprising:

a porous container portion having only one opening through which debris passes; and

a threaded fitting connected to a wall of the container portion in communication with the opening and configured to attach to a vacuum nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, the wall of the container portion having a width substantially equivalent to that of an opposing wall and the threaded fitting being substantially centered on a horizontal axis of the wall.

14. The vacuum bag of claim 13 , wherein

the wall is substantially rectangular.

15. The vacuum bag of claim 13 , wherein

the threaded fitting is spaced inwardly from each edge of the wall.

16. The vacuum bag of claim 13 , wherein

the threaded fitting is centered on a horizontal axis of the wall and spaced inwardly from each edge of the wall.

17. The vacuum bag of claim 13 , wherein

the threaded fitting is rigidly connected to the wall to substantially prevent rotation of the threaded fitting.

18. A vacuum bag, comprising:

a porous container portion having only one opening through which debris passes; and

a threaded fitting connected to a wall of the container portion in communication with the opening and configured to attach to a vacuum nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, the wall of the container portion having a width substantially equivalent to that of an opposing wall and the threaded fitting being spaced inwardly from each edge of the wall.

19. The vacuum bag of claim 18 , wherein

the wall is substantially rectangular.

20. The vacuum bag of claim 18 , wherein

the threaded fitting is rigidly connected to the wall to substantially prevent rotation of the threaded fitting.

21. A vacuum bag, comprising:

a porous container portion having only one opening through which debris passes; and

a threaded fitting connected to a wall of the container portion in communication with the opening and configured to attach to a vacuum nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, the threaded fitting being substantially centered on a horizontal axis of the wall.

22. The vacuum bag of claim 21 , wherein

the wall is substantially rectangular.

23. The vacuum bag of claim 21 , wherein

the threaded fitting is rigidly connected to the wall to substantially prevent rotation of the threaded fitting.

24. The vacuum bag of claim 21 , wherein

the threaded fitting is spaced inwardly from each edge of the wall.
