Vacuum cleaner electrostatic build up control system
First Claim
1. A static discharge protected system comprising a vacuum cleaning machine, a vacuum cleaning conductive hose assembly and at least one metal wand connected to said vacuum cleaning machine, said hose being provided with a wire molded in the wall of said hose, an electrically conductive ferrule at opposite ends of said hose assembly being connected to said wire in order to maintain uninterrupted electrical conductivity from said vacuum system to the free end of said metal wand, a tool removably attached to the free end of said metal wand having at least part which is fabricated of a static dissipating material, and a means for separately grounding at least part of said hose assembly.

Abstract
A wire molded into the wall of a vacuum cleaner hose and having electrical conductivity through the vacuum cleaning system by metal to metal conduct and additionally being provided with a grounding cable connected to an external ground bar for dissipating any electrostatic charges built up in the vacuum cleaning system. The vacuum cleaning tools used with the system are at least partially fabricated of static discharging materials in order to further prevent static build-up in the vacuum cleaning system.
