Vaccum claw interface

Abstract

A vacuum claw interface connecting a vacuum claw to vacuum attachments may include a body, a nozzle on a first end of the body adapted to receive a vacuum attachment, and two or more hollow, pronged inlets attached to a second end of the body in fluid communication with the nozzle, wherein each inlet includes an open end receivable within a vacuum claw.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vacuum claw interface, comprising:
 a body;   a nozzle on a first end of the body adapted to receive a vacuum attachment; and   two or more hollow, pronged inlets attached to a second end of the body in fluid communication with the nozzle, wherein each inlet includes an open end receivable within a vacuum claw.   
     
     
         2 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 1  further comprising a detent between the two or more pronged inlets. 
     
     
         3 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 2  further comprising an inner wall extending between the open end of a first of the pronged inlets to the detent and to the open end of a second of the pronged inlets. 
     
     
         4 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 3  wherein the inner wall is substantially U-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 3  wherein the inner wall is configured to surround a pillar in the vacuum claw. 
     
     
         6 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 1  wherein the pronged inlets include a height profile less than a width profile. 
     
     
         7 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 1  wherein an outer edge of the two or more pronged inlets are indexed to fit within interior walls of the vacuum claw. 
     
     
         8 . A vacuum claw interface, comprising:
 a body;   a split pair of inlets attached to the body, the inlets including a height profile less than a height profile of an open end of a vacuum claw;   a wall defining an opening between the inlets, the wall configured to receive a pillar from an interior of the vacuum claw into the opening; and   a nozzle in fluid communication with the pair of inlets, the nozzle configured to receive a vacuum attachment.   
     
     
         9 . The vacuum claw interface of  claim 8  wherein the height profile of the inlets is less than a height profile of the body.
