Benefits of technology
[0006] The present invention is directed toward a mobile unit for a portable vacuum system, such as a cart. The cart has a plurality of wheels so that it can be easily moved from one location to another. In one embodiment, at least one debris containment compartment is located in the cart for receiving debris collected from the vacuum system. A docking station is part of the cart and functions to selectively secure the portable vacuum system thereto. The docking station is connected to the debris containment compartment so that debris can be dropped into the compartment from the portable vacuum system.
[0007] In certain environments, such as, for example hospitals, emptying the collected debris into an open trash can or other receptacle is not acceptable due to the amount of dirt and dust generated. The present invention reduces, or prevents, debris from escaping from the portable vacuum system to a waste receptacle.

Description
RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is claiming benefit, under 35 USC § 119(e), of the provisional application filed on Jul. 10, 2003, under 35 USC § 111(b), which was granted Ser. No. 60 / 486,207, and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a mobile unit, such as a cart, for a portable vacuum system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Portable vacuum systems, such as backpack mounted vacuum systems, are well known to those skilled in the art. These vacuum systems are often used in conjunction with other cleaning, such as glass and surface cleaning and dusting, frequently performed in office buildings and the like. [0004] The desirability to have a lightweight, unencumbered vacuum system requires that support equipment for the vacuum system and other cleaning supplies be carried on separate structure. Those skilled in the art are familiar with various carts used to carry a wide variety of cleaning supp...
