Abstract:
1. A deck-crevice cleaning tool adapted to connect to a shop vacuum, the tool comprising: a single, rigid blade member adapted to fit in a deck crevice to enable dislodging of debris-build up disposed in the deck crevice and the blade member being arranged generally parallel with a direction of the tool to arrange in an elongated crevice; a plate member coupled to the blade member, the plate member arranged to perpendicularly dispose the blade member to a bottom face of the plate, the plate member further comprising an aperture extending from the bottom face to an oppositely arranged top face whereby the aperture aligns over at least a portion of the blade so that debris dislodged by the blade is forced upward into the aperture; a conduit member coupled to the plate, the conduit further comprising a hollow chamber extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the chamber being arranged in fluid connection with the aperture; a means for selectively coupling the conduit member to a hose provided by the shop vacuum whereby suction generated by the shop vacuum is in fluid connection with the coupling means, the hollow chamber and the aperture and being enabled to cause dislodged debris to flow from the blade to the shop vacuum; and an acutely sloped leading blade edge arranged whereby a top portion of the leading blade edge overlaps a portion of the aperture.
