Abstract
A vacuum cleaning system for a vehicle includes a console (), which may be centrally positioned between the front seats () of the vehicle. A canister (), in the form of a drawer to the console, is selectively removed, when vacuuming is to be commenced, and a flexible hose () unclamped from a side compartment () of the canister. The canister, with the hose attached, is carried by a handle strap () to a part of the car to be cleaned. A motor fan assembly () within the canister is powered from the vehicle's battery by means of a power cord () to draw dirt into a dirt cup () in the canister. Entrained air passes from the dirt cup through a filter () and is directed by the fan to an exhaust outlet () in the canister.
