Pet Vacuum

Abstract

Disclosed is a an apparatus for the grooming and removal of animal hair, dust, and dander with emphasis on miniaturization, portability, maximizing power, and minimizing noise by using the Bernoulli Principle venturi effect and active noise cancellation instead of vacuum methods known and practiced in the industry.

1 . A hand-held vacuum device comprising an transparent ergonomic container, which houses a pair of cyclonic airflow chambers in two-way communication with each other, arranged in such a way that a semi-closed loop includes an air intake port, which relies on the Bernoulli Principal venturi effect to cause debris to not only be drawn into said chambers, but also set into cyclonic motion immediately and tended by centrifugal action to the lateral perimeter of said container. 
   
   
       2 . The vacuum device in  claim 1  further comprising a noise-cancellation circuit and speaker system that may be selectively activated to greatly reduce the sound of the fan, which is mounted via an acoustic suspension with an exhaust port directed toward the surface being cleaned by vacuum, further reducing noise, to avoid frightening a pet. 
   
   
       3 . The vacuum device in  claim 1  further comprising a fan to generate airflow, which is so carefully engineered with respect to fit, that any fleas which pass by said fan within said airflow are shredded to bits. 
   
   
       4 . The vacuum device in  claim 1  further comprising one or more attachments having teeth that curve toward said venturi and facilitate the transfer of animal hair from said teeth to said venturi, which are each easily interchangeable.
