ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a suction wand for use in cleaning lint from the lint-screen cavity of clothes dryers. This lint-catching tool is uniquely designed to provide a lint-loosening action in combination with a vacuum action. This dual action eliminates most of the drudgery associated with this particular task. The tool itself has four snap-together portions. The first portion of the tool consists of a collar that attaches to the corrugated conduit or hose of a vacuuming device. The collar has a flared, rounded end that receives a substantially flat, rounded, hollow, flexible, elongated cleaning tube. The peripheral edges of the cleaning tube are designed to be rounded so as to provide for ease of bending, which is a necessary flexibility for accessing hard-to-reach areas within the clothes-dryer cabinet. The third portion of the wand has an intermediate collar that links the elongated cleaning tube with its unique scraping-and-suction nozzle. This scraping-and-suction nozzle has novel inlet windows that are designed to capture the lint as the wand is thrust against lint-laden surfaces within the clothes cabinet. The inlet windows have scraping edges that form narrow inlet areas for the purpose of drawing strong vacuum through the nozzle.
