Vacuum attachment assembly

Abstract

Disclosed is a vacuum attachment assembly for use with a vacuum system. A device can include a pass-through in a wide main body for passage of an object to be cleaned, such as a duster, a drape, a piece of clothing, or the like. A device can also include attachments, such as a vacuum control attachment, a brush, and so forth.

1 . A vacuum attachment assembly comprising:
 a main body including an upper section and a lower section forming a hollow interior, a first opening being defined in the upper section and a second opening being defined in the lower section, the first and second openings being aligned with one another, an interior width of the main body being greater than a cross sectional dimension of the first and second openings;   a shaft extending from the main body, the shaft including a first end and a second end, the first end intersecting the main body and the second end being distal to the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising a shaft insert that is either removably attachable at or fixed at the second end of the shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein the shaft insert defines a length and a round cross section that has a decreasing radius along the length. 
     
     
         4 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper section and the lower section are removably attachable to one another. 
     
     
         5 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body defines a toroid shape. 
     
     
         6 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body is at least partially translucent or transparent. 
     
     
         7 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intersection between the first end of the shaft and the main body is an elongated intersection. 
     
     
         8 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the second end of the shaft is round. 
     
     
         9 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the shaft is pliable. 
     
     
         10 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the shaft intersects both the upper section and the lower section. 
     
     
         11 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising a suction control attachment that is removably attachable at the first opening. 
     
     
         12 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 11 , further comprising an attachment that is removably attachable at the second opening. 
     
     
         13 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein the attachment is a brush. 
     
     
         14 . The vacuum attachment according to  claim 13 , the suction control attachment defining at least one opening with variable orientations. 
     
     
         15 . A vacuum attachment assembly comprising:
 a main body having a toroid shape, the main body including an upper section and a lower section forming a hollow interior, a first opening being defined in the upper section and a second opening being defined in the lower section, the first and second openings being aligned with one another, an interior width of the main body being greater that a cross sectional dimension of the first and second openings;   a shaft extending from the main body, the shaft including a first end and a second end, the first end intersecting the main body and the second end being distal to the main body;   a shaft insert that is either removably attachable at or fixed at the second end of the shaft;   a suction control attachment that is removably attachable at the first opening, the suction control attachment defining at least one opening with variable orientations; and   a brush that is removably attachable at the second opening.   
     
     
         16 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein the shaft insert defines a length and a round cross section that has a decreasing radius along the length. 
     
     
         17 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein the upper section and the lower section are removably attachable to one another. 
     
     
         18 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein the intersection between the first end of the shaft and the main body is an elongated intersection. 
     
     
         19 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein the second end of the shaft is round. 
     
     
         20 . The vacuum attachment assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein the first end of the shaft intersects both the upper section and the lower section.
