Abstract
A lid system for a wet-dry vacuum includes a lid shaped to cover an open end of a container and having a vacuum opening therethrough, and a hatch that engages the lid to cover and seal the vacuum opening when in a closed position and disengages from the lid in an open position to uncover the vacuum opening. A vacuum generator is mounted on the hatch, and a flanged filter is mounted on the lid and extends through the vacuum opening such that the flange supports the filter on the lid. When the hatch is in the closed position, the hatch compresses the flange against the lid to form an airtight seal between with the upper surface of the lid, and the vacuum generator communicates with the interior of the container. When the hatch is in the open position, the filter is insertable into and removable from the vacuum opening.
