FR2790501A1 - Swimming pool cleaner sucks dirt and water through filter inside perforated cylinder and collects dirt in disposable filter bag - Google Patents

Abstract

Dirt is collected in a disposable filter bag (6) inside a perforated cylinder (4), held centrally inside a cylindrical body (3). A pump (1) sucks water through the filter. The unit can be hooked (10) on the side of the swimming pool, or wheeled around (14) on the floor.

Description

i 2790501 1 In the area of pool cleaning many

devices are used

(robots, etc.).

  When the pool is dirty, the traditional vacuum cleaner mop method is used.

  ché on the suction circuit of this o the following disadvantages, namely: 1. Turbulence of the water surface, by the backflow, which disturbs the visibility. 2. Impurities and debris are directed to the filtration of the pool; this results in: blocking the pump prefilter, clogging the filter, and sometimes blocking the suction pipe. In addition, there are the following disadvantages: wasted water

  by unclogging the filter due to intensive washing.

  3. Back and forth between the pool and filtration by the user.

  4. Defusing all of the filtration.

  The present invention of an aquatic vacuum cleaner with a disposable filtering element for cleaning swimming pools, characterized in that it comprises: a submerged electric pump operating by suction (1) with a float switch (2) mounted on a cylindrical tubular main body (3) having inside a cylindrical perforated tubular filter obstructed at its base (4) of size smaller than the main body. This filter is kept apart by an upper and outer flange (5) of a determined width in order to keep a regular space between the main body and the perforated filter which rests on the edge of the latter to limit

  the spacing in depth and allow the free circulation of water.

  The disposable filter element slides into the perforated filter (6) which is fixed to a cylindrical tubular end piece (7) integral with the closure cover (8). Said cover is held on the main body by two attachments called latches (9) and drilled in

  its center with a diameter of the vacuum hose coming to lodge there.

  And a means of attachment to the edge of the swimming pool using two curved metal brackets (10) which are deployed by pivoting on an axis fixed to the main body and leaves

  appear the hole (II) to receive the vacuum hose (12).

  It can also be completely submerged by folding the two hooks around their axis and held in this position on the main body by a fastening type (13); they then become two skids provided with two rollers (14) for the

  displacement of the assembly at the bottom of the pool.

  I In this position the device can replace the filtration of the swimming pool for various

  maintenance on it and thus keep the water in good condition to avoid draining o significant saving of water; this position is also that of the storage of

the vacuum cleaner (space saving).

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: * Figure 1 represents the overall invention, * Figure 2 represents the invention and its various elements, In Figure 3 represents the invention and its assembly,

  In Figure 4 represents the invention hung on the edge of the swimming pool, in po-

sition of operation.
