Abstract

A web vac including a rechargeable support member that has a bottom side with a pair of rectangular female electrical sockets recessed within the body member. The support member has a top side with a first extension wand extending outwardly. The first extension wand has a first wand end with a pair of cylindrical female electrical sockets recessed therein and a pair of projections spaced from the first wand end. Included is a housing member. The housing member has a rotatable separation means having an intake opening for reception of particles. A motor is positioned within the housing member for creating a vacuum to draw air and particles into the intake opening. The housing member has a second wand extension projecting outwardly from the proximal end. The second wand extension has a second wand end with an F-slot for engaging the pair of projections of the support member. The first wand and the second wand, when coupled, provide electrical current to the motor.

Claims

1. A new and improved web vac for the removal of cob webs from acoustic ceilings comprising, in combination:

a support member having a bottom side, a top side and a body member with a flat base portion and a conventional rechargeable power supply therebetween, the bottom side having a pair of rectangular female electrical sockets recessed within the body member for the flow of charging current, a pair of elongated C-shaped wand clips being fixedly attached in symmetrical placement along the body member, each C-shaped wand clip being formed of a resilient material, the top side having a first extension wand extending outwardly therefrom, the first extension wand having a first wand end with a pair of cylindrical female electrical sockets recessed therein and a pair of projections spaced from the first wand end;

a generally rectangular housing member having a proximal end and a distal end with a peripheral end edge, a means to effect rotatable separation having an intake opening for reception of particles, means being rotatably coupled to one edge of the peripheral end edge of the distal end, the means to effect rotatable separation being rotated back and forth to control entry into the housing member, the housing member having a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, a motor being positioned within the housing member for creating a vacuum to draw air and particles into the intake opening, the bottom wall and the pair of side walls having a plurality of exhaust vents for release of outgoing separated air, the housing member having a second wand extension projecting outwardly from the proximal end thereof, the second wand extension having a second wand end with an F-slot for engaging the pair of projections of the first wand, the first wand and the second wand when coupled adapted to provide electrical current to the motor;

a generally rectangular filter being releasably coupled to the distal end of the housing member in proximity to the rotatable means during operation of the motor within the housing member;

a third extension wand for coupling with the first wand and the second wand for increasing a distance between the housing member and the first extension wand; and

a recharger unit having an opening being sized and shaped for receiving the support member therein.

2. A web vac comprising:

a support member having a bottom side and a conventional rechargeable power supply therewithin and with a pair of rectangular female electrical sockets recessed within the body member for the flow of charging current, a pair of elongated C-shaped wand clips being fixedly attached in symmetrical placement along the body member, and a top side with a first extension wand extending outwardly therefrom, the first extension wand having a first wand end with a pair of cylindrical female electrical sockets recessed therein and a pair of projections spaced from the first wand end; and

a housing member having a means to effect rotatable separation having an intake opening for reception of particles, said means being rotatably coupled to one end of said housing member to control entry into the housing member, a motor being positioned within the housing member for creating a vacuum to draw air and particles into the intake opening, the housing member having a second wand extension projecting outwardly from the proximal end thereof, the second wand extension having a second wand end with an F-slot for engaging the pair of projections of the first wand, the first wand and the second wand when coupled adapted to provide electrical current to the motor.

3. A web vac as set forth in claim 2, wherein the support member has a top side and a body member with a flat base portion.

4. A web vac as set forth in claim 3, wherein a pair of elongated C-shaped wand clips are fixedly attached in symmetrical placement along the body member, each C-shaped wand clip being formed of a resilient material.

5. A web vac as set forth in claim 2, wherein the housing member has a proximal end and a distal end with a peripheral end edge, and the rotatable separation means being rotatably coupled to one edge of the peripheral end edge of the distal end.

6. A web vac as set forth in claim 5, wherein the rotatable separation means is rotated back and forth to control entry into the housing member.

7. A web vac as set forth in claim 2, wherein, the housing member has a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, the bottom wall and the pair of side walls each having a plurality of exhaust vents for release of outgoing separated air created by the motor.

8. A web vac as set forth in claim 2, further including a generally rectangular filter being releasably coupled to the distal end of the housing member in proximity to the rotatable means during operation of the motor within the housing member.

9. A web vac as set forth in claim 2, further including a third extension wand for coupling with the first wand and the second wand for increasing a distance between the housing member and the first extension wand.

10. A web vac as set forth in claim 2, further including a recharger unit having an opening being sized and shaped for receiving the support member therein.
