Benefits of technology

[0007]The vacuum canister invention has many practical applications. The vacuum canister can be used for fast cleaning. In particular, the vacuum canister can be used to pick up and quickly dispose of biodegradabl

Problems solved by technology

In the specialized field encompassing vacuum devices designed specifically for suctioning debris from kitchen countertops, stoves, sinks and the like, and thereafter discharging the debris into a garbage disposal, the scope of the prior art is limited and includes especially few references.
The prior art described above suffers various deficiencies in its application of vacuuming debris from sinks and thereafter discharging the debris to a garbage disposal in a sink drain.
Specifically, the prior art does not teach of a portable vacuum canister with an open bottom that is specially designed to adapt and slide into an existing sink drain flange in communication with a grinder or garbage disposal opening, such that debris, vacuumed by a hand-held hose, is directed into a disposal, ground up, and sent and washed down the drain.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The invention is directed to a vacuum canister designed for vacuuming materials, such as particulates and / or fluids, from surfaces and transporting the materials to a sink drain having a grinder or garbage disposal mechanism coupled to the sink drain flange, releasing the materials through the sink drain flange and drain opening and into the grinder or garbage disposal mechanism for grinding an disposal into a municipal waste stream or septic system. FIG. 1A illustrates one preferred embodiment of the invention. The vacuum canister device 100 has two chambers, an upper first chamber 140 that is formed at an upper section of the vacuum canister 100 and a lower second chamber 150 that is formed at a lower section of the vacuum canister 100. The upper first chamber 140 possesses a substantially cylindrical shape, while the lower second chamber 150 possesses a substantially frustroconical shape. A top region of the upper first chamber 140 is occupied by a vacuum generating element...

Abstract

A portable vacuum canister is disclosed for vacuuming debris by a hand-held suction hose and for transferring the debris down through the vacuum canister and into an existing garbage disposal for grinding, where it is then washed down the drain. The vacuum canister adapts and slides into an existing disposal opening.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to a portable vacuum canister capable of interconnection with and deployment of waste into a sink drain having a waste grinder in direct communication with the sink drain flange covering a sink drain opening. The portable vacuum canister is used for vacuuming debris and dumping the debris into a garbage disposal or waste grinder associated with the sink for grinding of the debris, flushing and release into a municipal waste stream or septic system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Vacuum cleaning devices are designed by and large to operate by suctioning dust or debris from a surface. The general theory underlying the concept behind conventional vacuum cleaning devices is well-known. Typically, vacuum cleaning devices use some form of an electromechanical mechanism to create a partial vacuum to suction various kinds of particles into the vacuum cleaning device. Air pumps function by transferring air load from an i...
