DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an attachment which is attached to the tip of a suction hose of a dry vacuum cleaner to suck a liquid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, most dry and wet vacuum cleaners are for business use and are expensive. In addition, a rechargeable hand-held type vacuum cleaner capable of sucking liquid is also commercially available, but has drawbacks such as poor suction performance and, in some cases, unusable due to insufficient charging at the time of use. But,
Even at home, sudden cases that want to suck liquid often occur. Examples include juice or miso soup spilled on the floor, pets pissing on carpet and partially washing with water, or over flooding the plants and overflowing the tray. It is a daily occurrence, especially in families with small children. However, most home vacuum cleaners are dry-type vacuum cleaners, so that at present, only treatments such as wiping with a rag or tissue paper can be performed.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a simple apparatus which can be attached to a domestic dry vacuum cleaner and can suck a liquid in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an attachment to be attached to a distal end portion of a suction hose of a vacuum cleaner. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a closed container comprising a body 1 and a lid 2 is provided. A water-absorbing pipe 4 is provided through the bottom surface of the body part 3 of the body 3, and a water-absorbing nozzle 7 is formed at the lower end of the water-absorbing pipe 4. The upper end has a spherical inverted cap 5 having an opening 6 at a part of its lower part. Insert. A filter section 9 is mounted inside the lid section 2, and a connection pipe 8 for connecting a suction hose of a vacuum cleaner is provided on a part of the upper surface of the lid section 2. Means for sucking the water.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The water-absorbing device of the illustrated dry-type vacuum cleaner has a body portion 1 of an airtight container 3 comprising a body portion 1 having an appropriate capacity and a depth, and a lid portion 2 closely contacting an opening edge of the body portion 1. A water-absorbing pipe 4 penetrates the bottom surface of the body 1 and the upper end of the water-absorbing pipe 4 is inserted into a spherical reversing cap 5 having an opening 6 in a lower part in the body 1. There is an appropriate gap between the reversing cap 5 and the inner surface of the body 1, and the upper end of the water absorbing pipe 4 penetrates above the upper edge of the opening 6 of the reversing cap 5, There is an appropriate gap with the ceiling surface. Further, a water-absorbing nozzle 7 is formed at the lower end of the water-absorbing pipe 4 with its mouth widened in the lateral direction.

The body 1 is preferably made of a synthetic resin such as styrene, and is preferably made of a transparent material so that the sucked contents can be seen from the outside.

[0008] The lid 2 is brought into close contact with the opening edge of the body 1 so that airtightness in the body 1 can be maintained. A connection pipe 8 for connecting a suction hose of a vacuum cleaner is provided on a part of the upper surface of the lid 2,
A filter section 9 is mounted inside the lid section 2.

The connecting pipe 8 may be bent to serve also as a handle, or a handle 10 may be provided separately from the connecting pipe 8 on the side of the lid 2 or the body 1.
The tip of the connecting pipe 8 should be compatible with all vacuum cleaner models.
It is more preferable that the distal end portion is formed of a material having appropriate flexibility and flexibility in a tapered shape, and a bellows-shaped abdominal portion is provided in the middle.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting pipe according to claim 2 is bent to form a tapered valve seat 13 inside the connecting portion between the dual-purpose connecting pipe 11 also serving as a handle and the lid 2. Valve seat 1
3 is configured to be enlarged toward the downstream side, and a disc-shaped valve element 14 having a size that fits into the valve seat 13 is movably stored in the combined connection pipe 11. The valve shaft 15 of the valve body 14 is supported coaxially with the dual-purpose connection pipe 11 by a frame body 16, and the valve seat 13 is provided by a spring 17 interposed on the valve shaft 15.
Energize. Further, a valve body 18 of an arcuate plate is provided at a part of the valve shaft 15 to close an outside air suction port 19 formed at a part of the shared connection tube 11, and a grip portion of the shared connection tube connected to the valve shaft 15. In this case, means for adjusting the suction force in the container 3 by adjusting the operation of the suction switching lever 12 provided in the container 3 is provided. When the suction switching lever 12 is in the released state, the valve element 14 is in the closed state, and the valve element 18 is in the open state. This valve mechanism can have various aspects. For example,
As shown in FIG. 3, it is also possible to open and close two openings using the front and side surfaces of one valve body.
As shown in FIG. 4, it is also possible to provide a valve element 18 for closing the outside air suction port 19 inside the suction switching lever 12.

By providing the above-mentioned suction switching lever 12, a suction force acts in the container 3 only when the suction switching lever 12 is depressed, so that continuous suction of the container 3 can be avoided. As a result, there is an effect that the liquid sucked and accumulated in the container 3 generates droplets due to the suction force, and the filter unit 9 is prevented from being gradually wetted and delayed. Further, when the suction switching lever 12 is in the released state, the valve body 14
Is a state in which the valve seat 13 is urged, and also functions to prevent the liquid from flowing into the connection pipe 8 when the liquid is put in the container 3 and erroneously placed horizontally.

The filter portion 9 is formed of a porous cover mounted on the inside of the lid portion 2. Inside the cover, kitchen paper or tissue paper having good air permeability and high water absorption is provided. Fold it up and pack it.

The inverting cap 5 has a function of inverting and discharging the liquid sucked upward by the water suction pipe 4 downward, thereby preventing the liquid from being sucked from the connection pipe 8.
The shape described in any one of the above is almost the same.

Further, if the inside of the body 1 of the water suction pipe 4 is made detachable, cleaning after use becomes easy. Furthermore, the water absorption nozzle 7
If the nozzles are detachable and can be fitted with nozzles of different shapes, it can also be used to suck water and the like that accumulates in drains in bathrooms and kitchens, and in rails of windows and sliding doors.

【The invention's effect】

As described above, the present invention can be manufactured with a small size, light weight, and low cost by the above-described structure, and can be easily attached to the tip of the suction hose of a dry-type vacuum cleaner, and can easily be filled with liquid or moisture. In addition to being able to suck dry dust and the like, there is an effect that dry dust sucked in the past is not covered with water and cleaning after use is easy, which is common in dry and wet type vacuum cleaners.
