Vacuum sanding pole with actuated hose junction

A bifurcated hose junction is provided for a pole mounted abrading device with vacuum assisted particulate removal. The junction is actuated by the movement of the sanding pad assembly. When a short side of the rectangular sanding pad assembly is moved toward the tubular handle, the bifurcated hose junction is displaced laterally in relation to the linear axis of the handle. When a long side of the sanding pad assembly is moved toward the tubular handle, the bifurcated hose junction rotates in place, thereby allowing the sanding pad a comprehensive range of motion, in relation to the handle. The range of motion enables the operator to close the angle between sanding pad and the handle, and maintain planar contact between the sanding screen and the work surface, when working in constricted areas. The sanding pole of the application also provides an unobstructed passageway to maintain the laminar flow of the air stream, thereby reducing turbulence and conserving the energy available to transport the particulate to the vacuum source. Conserving energy maintains the efficiency of the system, allowing the operator to maintain a high sanding pace without reducing the effective removal of abraded particulate.
