Miniature hand-held vacuum cleaner - has three-fingered glove on which dust collector, suction pipes and openings are mounted with detachable battery-powered drive

摘要

The vacuum cleaner is shaped like a three-fingered glove (ie, thumb, forefinger plus middle finger, ring finger plus pinky) made of flexible material, like a combination of rubber and woven textile. Under the glove fingers and the palm are suction openings feeding into tubes (3,4) wrapped around the outside of the fingers and then via two pipes (5,6) into a collector (8). There are valves (2) to control the suction from one or both pipes. The compact housing for the motor, fan, dust filter and batteries (for mains- free operation) is held at wrist height by a screw connection or bayonet connection to the dust collector. ADVANTAGE - Flexible domestic vacuum cleaner for awkward objects like TV's, telephones, hi-fi's, etc.
