Vacuum cleaner hose attachment that fits between the long pipe and the flex-hose. This is made of clear plastic and has a simple gate and release button at the top.

Normal dust and dirt slips through, while big chunks of lint can be released at the touch of the button. However, valuables like wedding rings, toy soldiers and gerbils don't get lost forever.
