BACKGROUND
[0002] Indoor air pollution caused by small breathable particles is an emerging problem and is becoming a subject of increasing importance worldwide. Most people spend the main part of their life indoors, in production industries, offices, public institution and private homes. Hence, poor indoor air quality can have a significant impact on people's life. Airborne dust particles often contain allergens and microorganism like bacteria, fungi and viruses as well as their toxic products. Inhalation of these biological contaminants may result in lung problems and other illness, like asthmatic and allergies.
[0003] The workload of today’s generation is increasing with every passing day. Safety is considered as the top priority for the waste management and taken as the shared sole responsibility. Recently, various vacuum cleaners have been developed and emerged in the market. Electrical vacuums need to be plugged into wall outlets or are powered by batteries and using the bulky floor vacuum is time-consuming and requires more energy. Although electrical vacuums may be effective for cleaning large rooms and rugs, they are not good enough for removing dust from sensitive electronic equipment.
[0004] The electrical vacuum may be too bulky and powerful for sensitive equipment, as it can damage the equipment by absorbing the small electronic chips. The problem is that it’s not easy to pick the trash manually after mopping. Using, the bulky floor vacuum may be effective, however they are time-consuming and requires more energy.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a means that can easily collect the trash from any object with help of suction mechanism by solving the aforementioned problems.

[0039] For example, the user can hold the handle 108 of the apparatus 100, the user can press the handle 108 in one direction e.g., the user can press the handle 108 to move the connecting rod 106 downward into the tube 102, which forces the piston 104 to move within the tube102 to force the air to flow out of the tube 102. The force generated by the piston 104 can open the valve 110 to allow the passage of air to eject out of the one or more nozzles 112. The ejection of the air out of the one or more nozzles 112 can open the one or more flaps 116 to capture the undesired particles by the filter 202. Similarly, by pushing the connecting rod 106 downward again, trash can be disposed in any trash container. Pressure limit can be to 90 percent depending upon the dust collection
[0040] Thus, the apparatus 100can be implemented in many different ways to remove the undesired materials from any surface effectively using a simple mechanism. The apparatus 100 does not require electrical cables to be plugged into wall outlets or are powered by batteries, hence require less energy to be operated. The user can perform hand exercise, while cleaning the surroundings by controlling the air pressure operated by the handle.
[0041] FIG.2 illustrates a schematic view of the apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0042] Referring to FIG. 2, the apparatus 100 can be equipped with a strong suction mechanism so that it can capture the dirt from the surroundings and can sink to the dustbin.

[0044] Additionally, the valve 110 can be configured in the tube 102, which provide assistance in collecting the trash. All the trash from the tube 102 hole can be collected with tube, as the air is released out, the one or more and the valve 110 can be opened and all the trash can be embedded in the tube 102. The trash collected can be placed in the trash container. The apparatus 100 can be constructed and maintained easily to perform the work in less time.
[0045] The undesired particles may include liquid waste and solid waste, the liquid waste may be hazardous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. The liquid waste may include any or a combination of wastewater, fats, oils, grease and hazardous household liquids. Solid waste may include any garbage, refuse, sludge, and other discarded materials including solid, liquid, semi-solid, or contained gaseous material, resulting from industrial, commercial, mining and agricultural operations.
[0046] In an implementation, when the user pushes the connecting rod 106 of piston 104 downward, air is released from the tube 102 which opens the valve110 and two or more flaps 116, and when the user pulls the connecting rod 106 upward, the valve 110 and two or more flaps 116 can be closed to collect the undesired material in the container206 after filtration by attached filter 204. Similarly, by pushing the connecting rod 106 downward again, the undesired particles can be disposed in any trash container.
[0047] For example, as the connecting rod 106 move the piston 104 downward by the handle 108, the air pressure inside the tube 102 is released, which forces the vales 110 and the one or more flaps 116 to open, the air can be ejected out of the nozzles 112 in a desired direction, and the undesired particles e.g., dust can be filtered at the filter 204, and as the connecting rod 106 move the piston 104 upward the valves 110 and the one or more flaps 114 close, and the undesired material can be collected in the container 206, similarly, by pushing the connecting rod downward again, the undesired particles can be disposed in any trash container.
[0048] Thus, the apparatus 100 can control the air pressure operated by the handle 108, the apparatus can be constructed and maintained easily by the user. The apparatus has less weight and can be handled easily by the user to perform the work in less time. As the apparatus 100 require few hardware components it can be user friendly and additional cost can be reduced.
[0049] FIG.3 illustrates a sectional view of the apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0050] In an embodiment, inner portion of the elongated tube 102 can be hollow, the piston 104 can be configured on the inner portion of the tube 102. The connecting rod 106 can be coupled to the piston 104, the connecting rod 106 can be adapted to move the piston 104 into and out of the tube 102. The handle 108 can be coupled to the connecting rod 106, the handle 108 adapted to hold the apparatus 100, and can be adapted to operate the connecting rod 106 to move the piston104 into and out of the tube 100 in downward and upward directions. The requirement of electrical cables and batteries can be eliminated, and thereby reduce the additional cost.
[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the apparatus 100 of the disclosure may be provided using some or all of the mentioned features and components without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. While various embodiments of the present disclosure have been illustrated and described herein, it will be clear that the disclosure is not limited to these embodiments only.
