Abstract: A prefilter for a filter of a vacuum device 1 includes a frame extending in an axial direction between first and second axial extents. The frame includes a base located at the first axial extent, a first cylindrical ring extending axially from the base toward the second axial extent, a plurality of ribs extending from the first cylindrical ring towards the second axial extent and defining openings between the ribs, and a second cylindrical ring portion positioned at the second axial extent of the frame. The prefilter also includes a mesh layer comprising a plurality of mesh openings, the mesh layer coupled to the frame and configured to cover the openings to prevent debris larger than a size of the mesh openings from passing therethrough. The prefilter also includes an engagement feature coupled to the frame and configured to engage the filter to fasten the frame to the filter.
