Abstract

A vacuum device for capturing dust within a receptacle, the vacuum device comprising a first perforated tube configured to rest along an inner perimeter of the receptacle, a second perforated tube connected to the first perforated tube, the second perforated tube configured to span a central portion of the receptacle; and a third tube connected to the first perforated tube and configured to protrude to an exterior of the receptacle and connect to a vacuum. Also, a receptacle for capturing dust, the receptacle comprising a first hollow perforated section along an inner perimeter of the receptacle, the first hollow perforated section configured to connect to a vacuum. Also, a vacuum device for capturing dust within a receptacle having interconnected perforated tubes configured to be substantially contained within the receptacle and at least one tube configured to protrude to an exterior of the receptacle and configured to connect to a vacuum.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vacuum device for capturing dust within a receptacle, the vacuum device comprising:
 a first perforated tube configured to rest along an inner perimeter of the receptacle;   a second perforated tube connected to the first perforated tube, the second perforated tube configured to span a central portion of the receptacle; and   a third tube connected to the first perforated tube and configured to protrude to an exterior of the receptacle and configured to connect to a negative pressure source.   
     
     
         2 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum device is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         3 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum device is substantially circular. 
     
     
         4 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein a tube is formed from a plurality of pipes. 
     
     
         5 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second perforated tubes has a plurality of holes configured to be oriented towards a bottom of the receptacle. 
     
     
         6 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum device is formed from segments of plastic pipe. 
     
     
         7 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum device is formed from segments of metal pipe. 
     
     
         8 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum device is integral to the receptacle. 
     
     
         9 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , wherein the third tube forms an arch configured to lie in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a plane in which the first and second perforated tubes lie. 
     
     
         10 . The vacuum device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one t-joint. 
     
     
         11 . The vacuum device of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one t-joint is perforated. 
     
     
         12 . A receptacle for capturing dust, the receptacle comprising:
 a first hollow perforated section along an inner perimeter of the receptacle, the first hollow perforated section configured to connect to a negative pressure source.   
     
     
         13 . The receptacle of  claim 12 , wherein the receptacle is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         14 . The receptacle of  claim 12 , wherein the receptacle is substantially circular. 
     
     
         15 . A vacuum device for capturing dust within a receptacle, the vacuum device comprising a plurality of interconnected perforated tubes configured to be substantially contained within the receptacle and at least one tube configured to protrude to an exterior of the receptacle and configured to connect to a negative pressure source. 
     
     
         16 . The vacuum device of  claim 15 , wherein the vacuum device is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         17 . The vacuum device of  claim 15 , wherein the vacuum device is substantially circular. 
     
     
         18 . The vacuum device of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of the perforated tubes has a plurality of holes configured to be oriented towards a bottom of the receptacle. 
     
     
         19 . The vacuum device of  claim 15 , wherein at the least one tube configured to protrude to the exterior of the receptacle forms an arch configured to lie in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a plane in which the interconnected perforated tubes lie. 
     
     
         20 . The vacuum device of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of the interconnected perforated tubes is formed from a plurality of pipes.
