Please note that this application refers to Provisional Patent Application No. 60/545,500 (copy of enclosed,) filed on Feb. 19, 2004. The invention relates to a motorized cleaning device giving simplicity in allowing access to all areas of cleaning for debris or foreign matter through the use and capability and without tangling or twisting the extending and retracting of its' vacuum cleaning hose, while the base vacuum embodiment sits resolutely in one central an preferred location. The hosing gear, motor, grooved guides, manual interface and other mechanical advantage of components located within the Retrac-A-Vac's embodiment assist in the unique functionality of this device.
The present invention primary object is to provide a retractible hose to enable a user of such device to easily gain accessibility to vacuum any floor surface, shelves, and the like without the hose equipment tangling or twisting and subequently preventing continuous suction.
The hose is enconsed within the base frame that is postioned or wrapped along the inner shell cavity to alleviate any protuberance and allow easy extension and refraction of the hose from the exterior cavity shaft covering/housing the hose gear. The ease and use of the hose works systematically by pressing along the grip handle the has a trigger button for the release of the hose to either be extended or retracted and a mechanism for keeping the hose at a particular extension without retracting. The grip handle offers either a switch or trigger along with on the base unit (not shown,) to begin or terminate the operation of vacuuming.
The top cover of the outer cavity provides the user with a grip handle that locks in any position to move the vacuum smoothly along the surfaces or easy carrying to any area for storage or portability. The latches or clamps of the outer top cover tightly secure the cover so to prevent depressurization and gives accessibility to the inner cavity containing the inner liner for cleaning.
The cylindrical outer cavity has a wheel base for the device to easily move along any surface and gives the swivel-ability to position itself along side appurtenances it encounters while maneuvering such device. Retrac-A-Vac apparatus in plurality can be positioned and secured to remain specifically in a stationary position along with the vacuum hose being set at a specific and as desired, overall length, (LOA)

The present invention relates to vacuum cleaning product and more particularly, a vacuum cleaning product that lends itself to incorporating a on demand extending & retractable vacuum hose and nozzle. Said vacuum hose is controlled in a user friendly manner either in an automated or manual method.
There exist many variation of cleaning devices tackling many houshold or industrial chores. many devices lack the manueverability or capability for the hose gear to provide ease of the user to get into arduous spaces without falling short of hose. even with the capabilites provided within, any device would lack the positioning power to keep the hose at the bay position which a user desires, alleviating the hassle of tangling or twisitng of the hose itself. while it is evident that the proposed device is indicative of the obvious problems of a vacuum device, the present invention overcomes these dilemmas.
Many vacuum devices on the market and contain patentabilty fail to address the AFOREMENTIONED AND do NOT overcome these issues. devices that come in various shApes and sizes, containg elongated handles that are preset with no capability for repositioning or movement. they lack the ease of the user to get into an area of need without cumbersome difficulties or hindrances. other devices have upright machines encountering the same problems. other also HAVE maneuver handles, but still do not provide the same movement for ease.
A vacuum with A retractibility hose that can extend or pull back and provide continual extension CAPABILITY WITHOUT INTAGLEMENT OR TWISTING is diverse from all other devices today.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the type described above.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a Retrac-A-Vac. It is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
