VACUUM CLEANER HOSE ADAPTER

摘要

A vacuum cleaner hose adapter comprises a single-walled generally cylindrical housing made of a non conductive material which connects at one end to an electrified vacuum cleaner hose receptacle and which connects at the other end to a vacuum cleaner hose. Electrical conductors which run within bores in the housing wall supply electrical energy to the hose from electrical contacts in the vacuum cleaner receptacle. In operation, the adapter is inserted into a standard-type vacuum cleaner hose, and the electrical connector on the hose is engaged with the mating electrical connector on the adapter. The adapter is then plugged into the electrified vacuum cleaner hose receptacle to provide electrical power to the electrical connector on the hose via the electrical conductors of the adapter.
