Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] Please note that this application refers to Provisional Patent Application No. 60/545,500 (copy of enclosed,) filed on Feb. 19, 2004. The invention relates to a motorized cleaning device giving simplicity in allowing access to all areas of cleaning for debris or foreign matter through the use and capability and without tangling or twisting the extending and retracting of its' vacuum cleaning hose, while the base vacuum embodiment sits resolutely in one central an preferred location. The hosing gear, motor, grooved guides, manual interface and other mechanical advantage of components located within the Retrac-A-Vac's embodiment assist in the unique functionality of this device. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE RETRACTOVAC [0002] The present invention primary object is to provide a retractible hose to enable a user of such device to easily gain accessibility to vacuum any floor surface, shelves, and the like without the hose equipment tangling or twisting and subequently preventing continuous suction. [0003] The hose is enconsed within the base frame that is postioned or wrapped along the inner shell cavity to alleviate any protuberance and allow easy extension and refraction of the hose from the exterior cavity shaft covering/housing the hose gear. The ease and use of the hose works systematically by pressing along the grip handle the has a trigger button for the release of the hose to either be extended or retracted and a mechanism for keeping the hose at a particular extension without retracting. The grip handle offers either a switch or trigger along with on the base unit (not shown,) to begin or terminate the operation of vacuuming. [0004] The top cover of the outer cavity provides the user with a grip handle that locks in any position to move the vacuum smoothly along the surfaces or easy carrying to any area for storage or portability. The latches or clamps of the outer top cover tightly secure the cover so to prevent depressurization and gives accessibility to the inner cavity containing the inner liner for cleaning. [0005] The cylindrical outer cavity has a wheel base for the device to easily move along any surface and gives the swivel-ability to position itself along side appurtenances it encounters while maneuvering such device. Retrac-A-Vac apparatus in plurality can be positioned and secured to remain specifically in a stationary position along with the vacuum hose being set at a specific and as desired, overall length, (LOA) DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS & LIST OF REFERENCE NUMERALS UTILIZED IN THE DRAWINGS [0006] 10--Retract-A-Vac Apparatus (10) [0007] 11--Pop Up Cover with Grip Handle/s (vacuum motor & blower enclosed,) (11) [0008] 12--Position-able Handle (12) [0009] 13--Electric Cord Reel Accommodation Area (13) [0010] 14--Positive Latches (2 Typ) (14) [0011] 15--Position-able Handle (15) (Shown in Upright Position) [0012] 16--Position-able Handle (16) (Shown in Stowed Position) [0013] 17--Positive Latch Protrusion (Typ,) (17) [0014] 18--inner Shell Cavity (18) [0015] 18b--Inner Shell Cavity Grooved helically wound grooved pattern (not directly reflected in drawing,) modulized to the vacuums internal cavity's outer surface.
