Abstract

A vacuum cleaner filter bag having multiple, nested inner bags and an outer bag for sequentially filtering a discharge from a vacuum cleaner, wherein each of the inner bags is adapted to cease filtering the discharge therethrough when the bag has become clogged with particulate matter. Each inner bag is designed to rupture, when clogged, in a manner to allow the discharge to bypass that bag and directly enter the next bag.
