Portable siphon effect vacuum cleaning device for liquid filled vessels

Abstract

The present invention is a portable siphon effect vacuum cleaning device for the collection and removal of debris from liquid filled vessels. The invention comprises a handle structure to grip and control the invention in combination with at least one priming conduit and associated liquid communication path to direct the flow of liquid and debris to a desired discharge location, where priming conduit includes a suction end, discharge end, and a restricting valve positioned between, and through the action of gripping the handle and pushing and pulling in the axial direction, one can incrementally fill the liquid communication path until a continuous siphon flow of liquid begins, in turn realizing the benefits of creating a continuous flow of liquid to provide a continuous suction effect for continuous collection and expulsion of debris without any need for continual manual or powered pumping of that liquid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable siphon vacuum cleaning device for the collection and removal of debris from a liquid filled vessel whereby said vacuum cleaning device comprises:
 a. a handle structure for gripping and controlling the device in combination with at least one priming conduit for the communication of liquid whereby said priming conduit includes a suction end and a discharge end,   b. a restricting valve located between said suction end and said discharge end and in a manner that restricts the direction of the communicated liquid flow within said priming conduit to a flow direction primarily from said suction end to said discharge end,   c. a protrusion on said suction end in a shape to aid in the vacuuming of debris, and   d. a connector on said discharge end to provide for connection of a discharge conduit,
 whereby when one connects at least one discharge conduit to extend the communication of liquid and debris to a desired exit point outside of and below liquid level, followed by an action of gripping said handle and then pushing and pulling in the axial direction while said suction end and restricting valve are submerged in liquid, one can incrementally fill the communication path until a continuous siphon flow of liquid begins, in turn realizing the benefits of creating a continuous flow of liquid to provide a continuous suction effect for continuous collection and removal of debris from the vessel without any need for continual manual or powered pumping of said liquid. 
   
     
     
         2 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 1 , further including at least one length of discharge conduit connectable to said discharge end of said priming conduit. 
     
     
         3 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 1 , including a garden hose connector at said discharge end of said priming conduit. 
     
     
         4 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 1 , further including a gripping element on said handle structure. 
     
     
         5 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 1  including a handle of adjustable length. 
     
     
         6 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 1 , further including a debris capturing device. 
     
     
         7 . A portable siphon vacuum cleaning device for the collection and removal of debris from a liquid filled vessel whereby said vacuum cleaning device comprises:
 a. a handle structure for gripping and controlling the device in combination with at least one priming conduit for the communication of liquid whereby said priming conduit includes a suction end and a discharge end,   b. a restricting valve located between said suction end and said discharge end and in a manner that restricts the direction of the communicated liquid flow within said priming conduit to a flow direction primarily from said suction end to said discharge end,   c. a connector on said suction end for attachment of a vacuum cleaning suction end devise, and   d. a connector on said discharge end to provide for connection of a discharge conduit,
 whereby when one connects at least one discharge conduit to extend the communication of liquid and debris to a desired exit point outside of and below liquid level, followed by an action of gripping said handle and then pushing and pulling in the axial direction while said suction end and restricting valve are submerged in liquid, one can incrementally fill the communication path until a continuous siphon flow of liquid begins, in turn realizing the benefits of creating a continuous flow of liquid to provide a continuous suction effect for continuous collection and removal of debris from the vessel without any need for continual manual or powered pumping of said liquid. 
   
     
     
         8 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 7 , further including at least one length of discharge conduit connectable to said discharge end of said priming conduit. 
     
     
         9 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 7 , further including a vacuum cleaning suction end devise connectable to said suction end of said priming conduit. 
     
     
         10 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 7 , including a garden hose connector at said discharge end of said priming conduit. 
     
     
         11 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 7 , further including a gripping element on said handle structure. 
     
     
         12 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 7  including a handle of adjustable length. 
     
     
         13 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 7 , further including a debris capturing device. 
     
     
         14 . A portable siphon vacuum cleaning device for the collection and removal of debris from a liquid filled vessel whereby said vacuum cleaning device comprises:
 a. a handle structure for gripping and controlling the device including at least one priming conduit for the communication of liquid whereby said priming conduit includes a suction end and a discharge end,   b. a restricting valve located between said suction end and said discharge end and in a manner that restricts the direction of the communicated liquid flow within said priming conduit to a flow direction primarily from said suction end to said discharge end,   c. a protrusion on said suction end in a shape to aid in the vacuuming of debris, and   d. a connector on said discharge end to provide for connection of a discharge conduit,
 whereby said handle structure further provides for the communication of the debris and liquid, and by locating the exit point of the communication path at a location outside of and below liquid level, followed by an action of gripping said handle and then pushing and pulling in the axial direction while said suction end and restricting valve are submerged in liquid, one can incrementally fill the communication path until a continuous siphon flow of liquid begins, in turn realizing the benefits of creating a continuous flow of liquid to provide a continuous suction effect for continuous collection and removal of debris from the vessel without any need for continual manual or powered pumping of said liquid. 
   
     
     
         15 . The portable vacuum cleaning device of  claim 14 , further including a gripping element on said handle structure.
