Vacuum Attachment for Removing Plumbing Stoppages

Abstract

A vacuum attachment including an attachment first end, an attachment second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said the attachment end and the attachment second end; a hollow tube having an open tube first end and an open tube second end, the tube first end intersecting with the attachment first end, and the tube second end having a tube outer diameter, and a cup attached to the hollow tube, the cup defining a chamber and having an open cup first end and an open cup second end, the first end having an inner diameter larger than the tube outer diameter, and the cup further having an annular surface.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A vacuum attachment for releasing a drain stoppage, the attachment comprising:
 an attachment first end, an attachment second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said first end and said second end;   a hollow tube having an open tube first end, an open tube second end, and an outer sidewall, the tube first end intersecting with the attachment first end, and the tube second end having a tube outer diameter; and   a cup attached to the hollow tube, the cup defining a chamber and having an open cup first end and an open cup second end, the first end having an inner diameter larger than the tube outer diameter, the cup further having an annular surface.   
     
     
         2 . The vacuum attachment of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an annular surface intersecting with the cup second end; and 
 a cylindrical wall longitudinally between said annular surface and the annular surface. 
 
     
     
         3 . The vacuum attachment of  claim 2  wherein the cylindrical wall and annular surface are within the chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The vacuum attachment of  claim 2  wherein the annular surface is longitudinally between the annular surface and the tube second end. 
     
     
         5 . The vacuum attachment of  claim 4  wherein the annular surface intersects with the attachment second end. 
     
     
         6 . The vacuum attachment of  claim 2  wherein the annular surface intersects with the attachment second end. 
     
     
         7 . The vacuum attachment of  claim 2  wherein the cup further comprises a second surface longitudinally between the cup first end and the annular surface, the surface contacting the tube outer sidewall.
