in the following description , and for the purposes of explanation , numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various aspects of the invention . it will be understood , however , by those skilled in the relevant arts , that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details . in other instances , known structures and devices are shown or discussed more generally in order to avoid obscuring the invention . in many cases , a description of the operation is sufficient to enable one to implement the various forms of the invention , particularly when the operation is to be implemented in software . it should be noted that there are many different and alternative configurations , devices and technologies to which the disclosed inventions may be applied . the full scope of the inventions is not limited to the examples that are described below . the prior art discussed above generally offers unsustainable or impracticable methods of capturing large amounts of dust from the air while sorting through debris . this invention offers a novel method of managing larger debris while effectively preventing agitated dust from becoming dispersed into the air following the process of chiseling tile . in this way , the present invention is more effective , requires less frequent intervention by a user , and reduces potentially harmful exposure to dust by a user . referring to fig1 , a perspective view of a device for collecting dust during transport of debris 100 is shown . according to this embodiment of the invention , the device 100 can comprise a hollow cross - member 110 coupled to a first end of a hollow shaft 120 such that their interior volumes are fluidly coupled . in one embodiment , coupling of the hollow cross - member 110 and the hollow shaft 120 is reinforced using at least one reinforcement member 115 . the hollow shaft 120 can be coupled at a second end to a negative pressure source in order to create negative pressure through the device 100 . the hollow cross - member 110 can comprise a plurality of air intake passages 210 through which air can be drawn when a negative pressure source is coupled to a second end of the hollow shaft 120 . depending on the application and type of dust involved , the plurality of air intake passages 210 can be comprised of elliptical , rectangular , or irregular shapes and can be made larger or smaller to capture particulate dust of different sizes . the hollow cross - member 110 can further comprise a plurality of extender nuts 130 coupled to the hollow cross - member 110 . a plurality of tines 140 can be coupled to the plurality of extender nuts 130 in order to prevent debris from obstructing the air intake passages 210 when the device 100 is in use . in another embodiment , a plurality of tines 140 can be coupled to the hollow cross - member 110 . the tines 140 of the device 100 can be comprised of a variety of materials including metals , metalloids , alloys , woods , and plastics . although the plurality of tines 140 can be coupled to the hollow cross - member 110 at any angle , in a preferred embodiment the plurality of tines 140 are coupled to the hollow cross - member in a substantially straight row such that theoretical lines extending along the length of at least one of the tines 140 and the hollow shaft 120 create an obtuse angle . this position facilitates effective debris transport by the plurality of tines 140 and dust capture through the plurality of air intake passages 210 while the user holds the hollow shaft 120 . referring to fig2 , a cross - sectional view of the embodiment in fig1 is shown . in this view , the embodiment can have multiple rows of air intake passages 210 . alternatively , the air intake passages 210 can be arranged in a single row in relation to a plurality of extender nuts 130 or tines 140 . the plurality of extender nuts 130 can be coupled to the outer surface of the hollow cross - member 110 . in order to provide raking functionality to the device 100 , a plurality of tines 140 can be coupled to the extender nuts 130 or to the outer surface of the hollow cross - member 110 . referring to fig3 , a perspective view of a handheld device for collecting dust during transport of debris 300 is illustrated according to an embodiment of the invention . the device 300 is comprised of a single piece of hollow exhaust tubing 310 , which can have a closed first end 320 . in order to create suction through the device 300 , a negative pressure source can be coupled to an open second end 330 of the hollow exhaust tubing 310 . the device 300 can be wielded by a user by holding the hollow exhaust tubing 310 or by holding the point of coupling of the hollow exhaust tubing 310 to a negative pressure source . a plurality of extender nuts 340 can be coupled to the outer surface of hollow exhaust tubing 310 in order to facilitate coupling of a plurality of tines 350 to the hollow exhaust tubing 310 . the hollow exhaust tubing 310 can also comprise a plurality of air intake passages ( not shown ) which allows the collection of dust during transport of debris . referring to fig4 , a perspective view of a device for collecting dust during transport of debris 400 is illustrated according to an embodiment of the invention . the device 400 has at least two pieces of hollow exhaust tubing 410 coupled to form a single hollow exit tube 420 whose interior volume is fluidly coupled to the interior volumes of the two pieces of hollow exhaust tubing 410 . the point at which the hollow exhaust tubing 410 and the single hollow exit tube 420 are coupled 425 can be configured in order to allow adjustment of the positioning of the pieces of hollow exhaust tubing 410 relative to one another . each piece of hollow exhaust tubing can comprise a first end 430 which is substantially closed . the substantially closed first end 430 of each piece of hollow exhaust tubing 410 can be oriented in any direction , but is preferably such that the angle of each substantially closed first end 430 facilitates funneling of debris into the area between the hollow exhaust tubing 410 . each piece of hollow exhaust tubing 410 can further comprise a plurality of air intake passages 440 along its length . the air intake passages 440 can also be located on the substantially closed first end 430 of each piece of hollow exhaust tubing 410 in order to improve suction . in order to facilitate use of the dust collection device 400 with a shovel 450 , a point of attachment 460 can be located on the device 400 that allows the at least two pieces of hollow exhaust tubing 410 to be securely attached to a shovel 450 . the point of attachment 460 can be a hinge which couples to the handle of a shovel 450 . referring to fig5 , a perspective view of an additional embodiment of a device for collecting dust during transport of debris 500 is shown . this embodiment of the invention can be substantially similar to the embodiment shown in fig4 , and can comprise hollow exhaust tubing 510 , a single hollow exit tube 520 , adjustable coupling point 525 , a first end of each piece of hollow tubing 530 , a plurality of air intake passages 540 , a shovel 550 , and a point of attachment 560 . further , this embodiment can comprise a plurality of extender nuts 570 coupled to the plurality of hollow exhaust tubing 510 . a plurality of tines 580 can be coupled to the plurality of extender nuts 570 in order to prevent larger debris from obstructing air flow through the air intake passages 540 . in another embodiment , a plurality of tines 580 can be coupled to the outer surface of the hollow exhaust tubing 510 .
