chines, of which lthe following is a specifica tion.
This invention relates to vacuum cleaning machines, has particular reference' to animproved dust receptacle and bag therefor, and has for an object to provide a construction adapted particularly to hand-operated port able machines from which the accumulated' dust and lint may be .easily removed.
More specifically, the object ofthis'invention is to provide adust receptacle witha dust tube leading from the suction-head and opening into the receptacle and dust bag in such a manner as'not to obstructV Athe interior thereof. This arrangement admits of v ready access to the bag through'out its entire length forthe removal of the dust and lint.
Furthermore, this novel construction prevents the dust and lint from collecting about the inner end of lthe dusttube such as occurs in prior structures Where difficulty has been 'l l experiencedvin dislodging the dust andlint.
Another object of 'the invention'is to provide within the dust receptacle a peculiar mounting for. the bag, whereby thesameu may be placed under tension, and the tension be regulated to maintain the bag in distended or stretched position to take advantage of the entire cubical area of the bag the best results.
A further object is tov providea dust receptacle and bag which taper `frm end to end so that dust and lint may bqeasily removed by hand, or by gravity in'itilting 'the dust receptacle. l; I Other objects and advantages of this ini vention Will be brought out in the following detailed description of the present preferred embodiment of the invention, the same being illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein- Figure l is a lside elevation of the vacuum cleaning machine embodying the features of this invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section thereof taken vertically through the central portion of the machine. Fig. 3 is a detail rear end elevation of the ldust receptacle and'bag, the cap being removed frein the receptacle, and Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the dust receptacle on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2, looking`tcward the front end of the receptacle.
Referring to this drawing, wherein like parts are designated by similar characters of reference2 l0 designates the body of the machine which. in the present instance cour prises 'the dust receptacle. Mounted on top of the dust receptacle is a pair of bellows il of the-usual type havin the movable leaves thereof secured to aree ring plate l2 for al ternately operating the'beliows. The rocking-plate 12 is actuated by any suitable pit-4 man connection 13 connected to the support lngvtraction wheels 14 mounted .upc/n` the forward end of the body l0. shown in the present drawing, the wheels /14 are mounted upon an axle l5 heid in brackets, 16 projecting from the forward end of the body 10. The rear end of the body 10 is support. d by handle 17 adapted to be grasped in the [mnd for the purpose of moving 'the ma- -hine over the surface 'to be cleansed. 'It is thus seen that when the machine is moved he supporting Wheels lli rotate andthrough he pitrnan connection 13 rock the plate 12 nd thus actuate the bellows il to produce a practically constant suction through the ody 10. The body l0 or dust receptacle extends preferably throughout the entire length of lthe machine and tapers from its rear end toits forward end. The rear or enlarged en'd is openL and is adapted to be closed by a cap'18 upon which the handle 17 is mounted, the cap being held to the receptacle by -thumb screws 19, or other suitabie'detachthe same having a formation corresponding to the inner walls of the receptacle 10 and being adapted to support the forward end of the vdust bag @I2-in open position. The dust bag 22Atapers to its opposite end to icorrespond to the shape of the body 10 and is secured at its inner end to a block 23 conforming to the shape of the inner end of the dust receptacle and adapted to hold the bag in distended position. A threaded bolt 24, or the like, is mounted in the block 23 and extends forwardly therefrom through the head or clsed end 25 of the dust receptacle. The out 2G .is threaded upon the outer l dust bag 22. The frame 21 is oi' ring -form, Y
vbnd of the bolt 24 and bears against the-'head 2,5 to Vdrawi the block -23 forwardly and fstret'ch the dust bag 22 and`hold it in .such stretched. position.
The machine isprovided at' its forwardl end with a forwardly projecting suctionhead 27 ,of any.' approved form whichmay be supported upon the axle 15 as shown in Fig. 2, and which communicates with a dust tube 28 leading` into the body 10. The dust tubel 28 is pretlerably located beneath the .body 10 at its. forwardb reduced end and eX- ,-"t'ends longitudinally beneath the body to apoint approximately intermediate the ends ofthe dust receptacle. The tube 28 is gradually flattened-from its forward vto its rear end, the flattened end ofthe tube-entering the receptacle 10, 'extending for a short distance within the receptacle and lying close receptace, owing toits tapering form is i 4v,practica ly unobstructed throughout its enagainst the inner wall ofthe same/ii As the tube 28 is ii'attencd, and as it .lies close against the inner wall of the receptacle, the
'tire len th. The tube 28 also passes into the l. -fside no the dust bag 22, thelatter having an opening'adaptcd to receive the tube 28.
As shown in Figs/2 and 4 of the drawing,
I the bottom'of the body v,orfreceptacle l0 is arched upwardly as Aat 29""a't'- the portion where the dust tube 28 venters the receptacle. ,This ,arched f Wgr 4end of` the receptacle .fn-operatie assuction is created through e, Oithe dust and the like from being cleaned passes through the suction'liead 27 into the dust tube 2Q,
and from the dust vtube into the dust bag 22. As the body l0 is held. in a'tilted position as shown in Fig. 1,"the dust andp lint A from the tube28 fall into the bottom of the 'y dust bag, while theair from the tube 28 v'iis drawn olf by the bellows 11 through the .sides of the dust-'bag 22. lVhen it is dei siredto remove the dust and lint from the machine,l the cap 18 is removed from the I rear `enlarged end of the receptacle, and
l ,the-.liandmay be readily inserted with-in the open end of the bag 22 to withdraw the dust and lint collected therein. Owing .to the tapering form of the bag and the receptacle, Vthe accumulations *within the bag may be 'readily removed, and if the rece tacle is tilted rearwardly the dust and lint falls out of the bag as there are no shoulders or projections tending to retain the dust therein. Further, as the bolt 24 draws the bag `sol and holds it in stretched position, there are no creases in the bag to retain the dust and as' the sides of the bag are taut the dust will not adhere to the bag toany appreciable eX- tent.
changes may be made in the construction of 'end ofthe saine vtoward said end.
