ABSTRACT:
A wet/dry utility vacuum cleaner with detachable blower is disclosed. The detachable blower, when mounted in sealed relationship to a lid positioned above a utility vacuum cleaner drum, operates as a wet/dry utility vacuum cleaner. When separated from the utility vacuum cleaner drum, the detachable blower can be used for non-vacuuming applications. The utility vacuum drum lid includes two detachable latches, a detachable blower latch and a detachable drum latch. The detachable blower latch detachably mounts the detachable blower to the lid while the detachable drum latch detachably mounts the lid relative to the utility vacuum cleaner drum. The detachable blower includes a U-shaped handle positioned in proximity to the detachable blower latch to enable gripping the U-shaped handle while permitting operation of the detachable blower latch for engaging or disengaging the detachable blower relative to the lid. Additional features incorporated in the detachable blower include a stable platform to enable the detachable blower to stand in an upright condition and a scroll design exhaust to increase blower efficiency. The wet/dry vacuum cleaner includes a diffuser for exhaust air flow providing circumferential air exhaust for reducing the velocity of exhaust air.
