21. A dusting system comprising:
-
a central vacuum system comprising an inlet port adapted to be mounted with respect to an interior surface of a room and a vacuum source in fluid communication with the inlet port, the inlet port further comprising an inlet electrical contact in electrical communication with the vacuum source; and
a dusting device adapted to be removably attached to the inlet port of the central vacuum system, the dusting device including a holder defining a chamber, a dust pick up tool adapted to be at least partially received by the holder, a fitting including a fitting electrical contact, and a control in electrical communication with the fitting electrical contact, wherein the fitting is adapted to engage the inlet port to facilitate fluid communication between the chamber and the vacuum source and the fitting electrical contact is adapted to engage the inlet electrical contact to provide electrical communication between the control and the vacuum source, wherein the tool and/or the chamber may be cleaned by activating the vacuum source with the control to cause air to flow through the chamber. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
