Abstract
This invention concerns a Metal Collection Device for Vacuum Cleaners. It consist of a cover structure (that could be opened) that is attached to the soft tube of the vacuum cleaner. The interior of this cover structure has a strong magnet which attracts the metal items sucked in by the vacuum cleaner. This prevents the metal items from entering the main body of the vacuum cleaner and thereby prevents damage to the internal components or to the collection bag. When the need arises to clean or remove the metal items collected by the magnet, the cover structure could be opened and the magnet, along with the metal items collected by it, removed. Thus providing extreme ease of usage.
