Patent ID: 7979957

Claim:
An attachment useful for collecting packing particulates and conformed for releasable engagement to the end of a vacuum hose extending from a vacuum cleaner, comprising: a generally rectangular enclosure defined by a generally planar upper and lower thin resilient panel spanning in a spaced alignment between a pair of opposing side panels and aligned to extend about a generally rectangular receiving opening communicating into said enclosure and joined to an end closure provided with an end opening conformed to receive said end of said vacuum hose, said enclosure and end closure forming in combination an interior cavity communicating with said receiving opening; and screening means disposed in said end closure for restricting the passage of said particulates into said end opening, said screening means comprising a tubular adapter conformed for insertion into said end opening including a perforated closure of the insertable end thereof including perforations of a dimension smaller than the sectional dimension of said particulates and an aperture at the other end thereof conformed to receive said end of said vacuum hose, whereby said particulates accumulated at said screening means effects an inward flexure of said upper and lower panels towards each other.
