to the body 12 through the exhaust holes 52 referring next to fig2 a cross sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the vacuum attachment means is illustrated in this view the vacuum attachment 10 is shown mounted on the ultrasonic flux device 101 the nozzle 100 of the ultrasonic flux device extends upwards through the central hole 14 in the vacuum attachment 10 in the preferred embodiment a cylindrical outer wall 40 couples with the ultrasonic flux device 101 as shown an upper member 44 and lower member 48 protrude radially inward from the outer wall 40 towards the nozzle 102 these upper and lower members combine with inner cylindrical wall 49 to define a cavity 42 within the vacuum device in fig2 the upper member 44 and lower member 48 appear to be straight members when viewed from above these elements are actually shaped as disks because the entire vacuum unit is cylindrical in shape in the preferred embodiment although the body 12 of the vacuum attachment 10 in the preferred embodiment is cylindrical in shape it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to such a shape other arrangements may be used so long as the body 12 surrounds the nozzle 102 an inner support member 45 extends upward from the top member 44 and angles inward toward the nozzle 102 this support member 45 is used as an alignment means to position the vacuum unit 10 on the ultrasonic.
