InterVac Awarded Patent for VacPort Sweeper Pan With LED Lighting
InterVac Design recently announced that it has been awarded a patent for its VacPort sweeper pan, the only such system that comes with LED lighting.
“The VacPort is a great way to make sweeping easier, acting as an automatic dust pan that connects into your central vacuum system,” says Susan Schlapkohl, co-founder of InterVac Design.
“All you have to do is grab a broom, sweep dirt toward the illuminated opening and your central vacuum system takes care of the rest.”
VacPort features a LED lighting that puts a shine on the area near the pan. The VacPort is activated with a slight touch of a toe and can be used with any remote vacuum system in the kitchen, utility room, bathroom, workshop, hair salon or any other area that can be swept, Schlapkohl says.
The VacPort connects straight from the back of the unit into the existing central vacuum piping, making installation a snap.
Another of VacPort’s features is that it’s made of polycarbonate and comes with a lifetime unbreakable guarantee.
“Our company prides itself on innovation and the VacPort with LED lighting is another example of how we are always trying to provide a high-quality product at the best price for our customers,” Schlapkohl says.
VacPort is now distributed through BEAM Electrolux, Desco and HP Vacuflo and, like all InterVac Design products, is made in the USA.
