Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A filtering and collecting device of solid and powder refuse for industrial and civil suction apparatus, comprising at least one flexible, removable storage bag (17) and a suction and conveyance means (4) for conveying said refuse to at least one said said storage bag (17) and adapted to form a flow of air and refuse, said filtering and collecting device being characterized in that it comprises: a sorting zone (16a) for said air and said refuse supplied with said flow of air and refuse; at least one filter (19) placed in communication with said sorting zone (16a) and adapted to allow air from said flow to escape; and at least one said storage bag (17) placed in communication with said sorting zone (16a) and made of a substantially impervious material and of the disposable type, to be thrown away together with the refuse matter collected therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A filtering and collecting device of solid and powder refuse for industrial and civil suction apparatus, comprising at least one flexible, removable storage bag (17) and a suction and conveyance means (4) for conveying said refuse to at least one said said storage bag (17) and adapted to form a flow of air and refuse, said filtering and collecting device being characterized in that it comprises: a sorting zone (16a) for said air and said refuse supplied with said flow of air and refuse; at least one filter (19) placed in communication with said sorting zone (16a) and adapted to allow air from said flow to escape; and at least one said storage bag (17) placed in communication with said sorting zone (16a) and made of a substantially impervious material and of the disposable type, to be thrown away together with the refuse matter collected therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
