Lighted coil cleaning tool
First Claim
1. A coil cleaning tool for attachment to a vacuum cleaner hose, comprising:
- an elongate flattened tubular housing having opposed planar side faces with top and bottom walls extending therebetween such that said housing defines a narrow interior width between said side faces, said housing having an end adapted for connection to a vacuum cleaner hose and an opposed end having a tapered construction and defining an air intake opening;
a light source position on said top wall of said housing for directing light toward said opposed end thereof when said light source is energized; and
a battery positioned on said top wall of said housing for directing light toward said opposed end thereof when said light source is energized.

Abstract
A coil cleaning tool for attachment to a vacuum cleaner hose includes a flattened tubular housing having opposed planar side faces connected by top and bottom walls, the top and bottom walls having a narrow width such that the entire tubular housing is very narrow and lender. The tubular housing includes a first end capable of being releasably coupled to a vacuum cleaner hose and a second end having a tapered construction and defining an air intake opening. A light housing having a battery powered LED is mounted atop the top wall of the tubular housing for illuminating a cleaning area. Each side face of the tubular housing may also define an auxiliary air intake opening with a slidable cover such that the air intake openings may be selectively opened or closed for the most efficient and convenient cleaning of hard to reach areas.

9. A coil cleaning tool for attachment to a vacuum cleaner hose, comprising:
-
an elongate flattened tubular housing having opposed planar side faces with top and bottom walls connecting said side faces such that said housing defines a narrow interior width between said side faces along the longitudinal extent thereof, said housing having a first end adapted for connection to a vacuum cleaner hose and an opposed second end having a tapered construction defining an air intake opening;
each side face defining an elongate auxiliary air intake opening spaced from said second end of said tubular housing and extending longitudinally therealong toward said first end, said auxiliary air intake openings being aligned with one another on respective opposed side faces;
a pair of elongate panels slidably coupled to respective side faces and adapted to selectively cover respective openings, each panel being individually operable to open or close respective auxiliary air intake openings;
a light source position on said top wall of said housing for directing light toward said opposed end thereof when said light source is energized; and
a battery positioned on said top wall of said housing for directing light toward said opposed end thereof when said light source is energized. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
