A manual operated and battery powered device is provided for complete
removal of liquid spills by use of both vacuum and blow-drying. The
device provides a wheeled cart including a liquid-tight pan on which are
retained one or move waste liquid receivers. An electric motor powered
blower within an enclosure provides both suction and blown air through
attached flexible hoses. In operation, the blower creates a vacuum in the
receiver which, through the flexible hoses, is used to suction waste
material from a working surface. The waste material is captured in the
receiver. The device is small to reduce interference with surrounding
activities. The design enables cordless operation with convenient
recharging from standard electrical power sources during non-operational
periods.
