Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a pneumatic air filter cleaning device that can clean an air filter from the inside out and uniformly by positioning in rotatable relation inside the air filter, while forcing air outwardly against the fibrous walls of the air filter. The device comprises a flanged filter adapter, an impermeable flexible sleeve, a U-shaped tube, an air hose, and a fibrous filter layer for filtering dust and particulates entering a vacuum. The device can be used with air filters of varying diameters and includes a nut. The technical effects of the invention include improved air filter cleaning efficiency, reduced air filter replacement frequency, and improved air quality.
Problems solved by technology
This may result in dust particles from the air filter flying uncontrollably throughout the air.
These dust particles can take hours to settle; thereby causing the work environment to be dirty and unhealthy.
Further, once settled, the dust particles are very difficult to clean.
Typically, folded paper / fiber air filters of various types have been replaced when clogged, involving significant expense and effort, or have been cleaned manually and without precision by directing an air hose at the filter element to blow out any loose particles or dust.
Retrofitting traditional air filters with cleaning devices has traditionally also been inefficient because air filters have not come in standards sizes, thus there is no universal aftermarket cleaner available.

Abstract
A pneumatic air filter cleaning device is configured to clean an air filter, a cavity, a pair of openings, and a plurality of fibrous walls that capture contaminants. The device may comprise one or more flanged filter adapters disposed in a spaced-apart, coplanar relationship. A U-shaped tube extends between the flanged filter adapters in a rotatable relationship. The U-shaped tube has apertures offset from a radial vector configured to discharge pressurized air while rotating 360 degrees. An air tube feeds pressurized air into the U-shaped tube, creating inertia that rotates the U-shaped tube while simultaneously discharging pressurized air from the apertures. The device further comprises a flexible impermeable sleeve which interconnects a flanged filter adapter and a vacuum fixture on a vacuum. The impermeable flexible sleeve allows the device to be universally compatible with vacuums of any size. The air filter is cleaned from the inside out, and in a uniform manner. An attached container may capture dislodged contaminants.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPELLATIONS[0001]This invention incorporates, claims priority to, and is a continuation-in-party of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 133,190 for a “Pneumatic Air Filter Cleaner” filed Apr. 19, 2016 for Spencer Dredge.BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to pneumatic device for cleaning an air filter, and more particularly relates to a pneumatic cleaning device that pneumatically cleans air filters having a cavity by positioning in rotatable relation inside the cavity of the air filter and forcing pressurized air outwardly from the cavity, and in uniform distribution through a cross section of the fibrous walls of the air filter.Description of the Related Art[0003]Typically, air filters are used in industrial air cleaning devices to remove the contaminants from contaminated air for vehicles, machinery, and air ventilation units. In many instances, the contaminated air flow being filtered is uni-directional and the residue captured ...
