Definitions
- the present invention concerns a suction device, for example of the brush type, able to be selectively associated with a cleaning apparatus.
- a cleaning apparatus can be an electric brush, a vacuum cleaner or suchlike, with or without a delivery device to deliver detergent fluids under pressure, such as steam or otherwise.
- the device according to the present invention is able to be associated, in fixed or removable manner, as an accessory, with a terminal portion of the main suction pipe of the cleaning apparatus, and allows to selectively perform the single function of dry suction, or the double function of wet cleaning by delivering detergent fluids under pressure and suction of the wet or dampened dirt.
- a device is known, shaped like a cleaning brush, like window washers, floor brushes or suchlike, which is able to be selectively associated with the terminal end portion of a cleaning apparatus, and comprising at least a suction pipe and a pipe through which the steam or other solvent passes.
- the two pipes are conveyed towards a central element shaped substantially like a parallelepiped and comprising two work zones, one at the front and one at the rear.
- the suction pipe and the pipe through which the solvent passes are able to be associated with the corresponding pipes of the apparatus by means of a connector of a fixed or rotary type.
- the suction pipe and the pipe through which the solvent passes branch off, in turn, into a plurality of apertures or nozzles, arranged respectively on the front and rear zone of the central element.
- the nozzles to deliver the solvent are arranged on the rear zone of the central element, while the suction apertures are arranged on the front zone in order to suck in both the steam delivered and also the dirt mixed with it.
- This device also comprises fixed or removable bristles, located in correspondence with the rear zone where the solvent is delivered, which serve to combine the cleaning action of the solvent with the mechanical action of rubbing.
- This conventional device has the disadvantage, however, that it does not allow the bristles or the unit through which the solvent passes to reach the zones to be cleaned situated in the proximity of obstacles, against which the front zone of the central element stops.
- Applicant has devised and embodied the present invention to overcome this shortcoming of the state of the art and to obtain other advantages.
- the purpose of the present invention is to achieve a cleaning device, associated permanently, or able to be selectively associated, like any other accessory, to a cleaning apparatus by means of which it is possible to achieve alternately, in a practical and efficient manner, either a single function of dry suction of dust and dirt, or a double function of wet cleaning by delivering a detergent fluid under pressure, such as steam or otherwise, and subsequent suction of the wet dirt.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve a cleaning device of the type described above by means of which, when only the dry suction is functioning, the unit able to deliver the detergent fluid is not an obstacle to the suction itself.
- a cleaning device comprises a supporting element associated with connection means, by means of which it is able to be coupled, in fixed or removable manner, with a cleaning apparatus. At least a delivery unit to deliver a detergent fluid and a suction unit are made in the supporting element.
- connection means are able to selectively position the supporting element in at least two stable operating positions, so that in a first of said positions the delivery unit to deliver the detergent fluid is in a front zone, in a determinate working direction, with respect to the suction unit, and in a second of said positions it is the suction unit that is positioned in the front zone, and therefore precedes the delivery unit to deliver the detergent fluid, so that the latter does not create any obstacle when the device is used only in the dry suction function.
- the supporting element is shaped substantially like an "H" and comprises two substantially parallel blocks, on which the suction unit and respectively the delivery unit are arranged.
- connection means advantageously comprise a joint-type coupling having one part connected to a main pipe and a second part connected in articulated manner to the supporting element.
- the connection means advantageously comprise a joint-type coupling having one part connected to a main pipe and a second part connected in articulated manner to the supporting element.
- Intermediate stable positions for example at 90° with respect to the two main operating positions, can be provided in order to use the suction device in cleaning operations in very narrow spaces.
- the suction device also comprises clamping means able to temporarily clamp the connection means, by means of a removable constraint, to the supporting element, so as to achieve the positioning in one or the other of the two stable operating positions.
- the clamping means are for example of a mechanical type and comprise hooks, grippers, clips or suchlike.
- a suction device 10 comprises a supporting element 12 substantially shaped like an "H" and comprising a central zone 12a and two lateral blocks 11a and 11b, parallel to each other.
- the supporting element 12 also comprises a terminal part 13 by means of which it is able to be connected to a cleaning apparatus with a detergent fluid, for example steam, of a known type and not shown in the drawings.
- a detergent fluid for example steam
- the terminal part 13 comprises a main suction pipe 15 and a delivery pipe 23 to deliver the detergent fluid.
- a suction unit 14 is arranged, consisting of a suction aperture 20 (fig. 2) connected to the main suction pipe 15, while in the second block 11b a delivery unit 16 to deliver the detergent fluid is arranged, consisting of a plurality of nozzles 22 (figs. 2 and 4) associated with the delivery pipe 23.
- the nozzles 22 to deliver the detergent fluid are aligned along the block 11b and are substantially parallel and opposite the suction aperture 20 made on the block 11a, so as to obtain as big a cleaning zone as possible.
- the central part 12a of the supporting element 12 is connected to the terminal part 13 by means of a joint-type coupling 28 (figs. 3, 4 and 5).
- the joint-type coupling 28 is shaped substantially like a 90° tubular elbow, with a first part 28a connected to one end of the terminal part 13, so that the terminal part 13 is free to rotate with respect to the first part 28a, and a second part 28b coupled in a cylindrical seating 34 of the central part 12a of the supporting element 12 and free to rotate with respect thereto.
- the supporting element 12 is free to rotate around a vertical axis X with respect to the joint-type coupling 28.
- the joint-type coupling 28 is provided with a lower shoulder 28c which clamps it axially in the supporting element 12, although allowing it to rotate through 360° with respect thereto.
- the rotation of the joint-type coupling 28 allows to selectively position the supporting element 12 with respect to the terminal part 13 between the following two operating positions (figs. 1, 2); a first wherein the delivery unit 16 is in a frontal position and a second wherein it is the suction unit 14 that is in the frontal position.
- the rotation of the supporting element 12 with respect to the joint-type coupling 28 is normally clamped automatically by a clamping element 30, shaped substantially like a semi-dome and arranged above the second part 28b of the joint-type coupling 28.
- the clamping element 30 is able to rotate together with the joint-type coupling 28 with respect to the axis X, but can slide axially with respect thereto by means of vertical guides 28d and corresponding grooves 30a (fig. 3).
- a spring 33 is included between the joint-type coupling 28 and the top of the clamping element 30.
- the lower part of the clamping element 30 is inserted in a circular seating 31 of the supporting element 12 around the cylindrical seating 34.
- Two positioning pegs 32 are attached on two vertical fins 29 of the supporting element 12, on diametrically opposite sides with respect to the axis X, and are arranged inside the circular seating 31.
- a continuous, horizontal groove 35 is made and, in diametrically opposite positions, two semi-circular seatings 38 are made (fig. 6) able to accommodate the pegs 32 in a constrained condition.
- the groove 35 includes an upper hollow 39, shaped like an upside-down V, also passing through the seatings 38, and which defines two inclined planes 39a and 39b with which the fixed peg 32 is able to cooperate.
- the clamping element 30 is then able to be selectively lowered towards the supporting element 12 in order to allow the latter to rotate, so that it can reach one or the other operating position with respect to the terminal part 13.
- the spring 33 thrusting the clamping element 30 upwards, returns the pegs 32 into the respective seatings 38.
- the device 10 comprises two gripper-type attachment units 40 (figs. 7 and 8) arranged in two corresponding recesses 41 made between the blocks 11a and 11b, on reciprocally opposite sides with respect to the central part 12a and the clamping element 30.
- each gripper-type attachment unit 40 comprises a fin 42 pivoting on a trolley 43, mounted on the supporting element 12. Under each trolley 43 a spongy block 49 is also attached.
- Each trolley 43 is provided with inclined eyelets 45, into which fixed pegs 46 are inserted.
- Each eyelet 45 has teeth 47 which define two stable lateral seatings wherein the pegs 46 are able to selectively position themselves, in order to make each trolley 43 assume a lowered and more outward position, when the cloth is attached, or a raised, more inward position when the cloth is not attached, wherein it takes up least space.
- a traction spring 53 is associated with each fin 42, in order to keep it normally in a closed position once the cloth has been positioned.
