Abstract

An elongated thin flat hard-plastic plate has a face sized to overlie and seal the rug nozzle of an energized inverted upright vacuum sweeper for testing and demonstrating the suction strength of the sweeper. The sheet is desirably provided (1) with depending marginal flanges to prevent its lateral sliding-off the nozzle, and (2) with upstanding ribs on its upper surface to rigidify the sheet and to form a block-shaped centrally located handle grip.
