Abstract

The dumpster filtration system is an air filtration system that removes dust and other particles from a dumpster. The dumpster filtration system uses a fan placed externally to the dumpster that generates uses negative air pressure to draw dust and other particles through a gooseneck hose. The gooseneck hose routes air from the dumpster through a HEPA filter which removes dust and other particles from the air before it is ejected from the system. The dumpster filtration system comprises a gooseneck hose and a HEPA filtration system.

Claims

1. A filtration system comprising:

a gooseneck hose and a HEPA filtration system;

wherein the filtration system is for use in removing dust and other particulates from dumpsters;

wherein the filtration system uses negative air pressure to remove dust and other particulates from dumpsters;

wherein the filtration system is portable;

wherein the filtration system the gooseneck hose is telescopic;

wherein the gooseneck hose draws air from the dumpster to the HEPA filtration system;

wherein the gooseneck hose comprises an elbow, an outer tube, an inner tube, and a flexible duct;

wherein the elbow is further defined with a first end and a second end;

wherein the outer tube is further defined with a third end and a fourth end;

wherein the inner tube is further defined with a fifth end and a sixth end;

wherein the flexible duct is further defined with a seventh end and an eighth end;

wherein the position of the inner tube relative to the outer tube is adjustable;

wherein the relative position of the inner tube to the outer tube is locked using a collar;

wherein the HEPA filtration system further comprises an intake port and an exhaust port;

wherein the first end of the elbow attaches to the to the intake port of the HEPA filtration system;

wherein the second end of the elbow attaches to the third end of the outer tube;

wherein the fifth end of the inner tube inserts into the fourth end of the outer tube;

wherein the sixth end of the inner tube attaches to the seventh end of the flexible duct;

wherein the eighth end of the flexible duct is inserted into the dumpster.

2. The filtration system according to claim 1 wherein the gooseneck hose further comprises one or more prefilters.

3. The filtration system according to claim 2 wherein each of the one or more prefilters comprises custom duct connector and a filter.

4. The filtration system according to claim 3 wherein a prefilter selected from the one or more prefilters is placed between the second end and the third end.

5. The filtration system according to claim 3 wherein a prefilter selected from the one or more prefilters is mounted within the fifth end of the inner tube.

6. The filtration system according to claim 5 wherein a prefilter selected from the one or more prefilters is placed between the second end and the third end.

7. The filtration system according to claim 6 wherein the HEPA filtration system processes a minimum of 239 cubic feet per minute.

8. The filtration system according to claim 4 wherein the HEPA filtration system processes a minimum of 239 cubic feet per minute.

9. The filtration system according to claim 3 wherein the HEPA filtration system processes a minimum of 239 cubic feet per minute.
