OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000003355 Battery operated hand held vacuum handling device Published: 2026-09-15T20:15:16.025779Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000003355 Categories: Tools & Tooling > Clamping Tools ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A hand held tool for grasping and moving light weight objects includes a battery powered vacuum. Upon pressing an actuator, an electrical circuit is completed, activating the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump draws air from a valving system, causing air to be drawn through a nozzle. A variety of gripping devices may be attached to the nozzle, so that air is also drawn through the attached gripping device when the vacuum pump is activated. As a result, the gripping device may be placed in proximity to a light weight object, so that activation of the vacuum pump results in that object being held against the gripping device, for ease of movement, until the vacuum pump is deactivated. 1.
