VACUUM CLEANER. y APPLICATION FILED oct-30. |912.
Mmmm@ Patented July 6, 1915.
' PATENT @Illllm GEORGE (ELEMENTS, OF CHICAGO. ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR T CLEMENTS MFG. CO., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION 0F ILLINOIS.
VACUUM-CLEANER.
T0 alli/'710m 'it may mace-rn.
Be it known that I. Gnonon CLnMnN'rs, a citizen ofV the United States, residing at Chicago. :in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Vacuum-Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to pneumatic vacuum cleaners and has for its object to provide convenu-ait means whereby a vacuum sweeper can be converted into a vacuum scrubber.
It is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a side elevation with a crossseetion through the nozzle: Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same; Fig. 3 is a detail cross section through the end ot' the nozzle and squeegee. n
Iiike parts are indicated by the same letters in all the figures.
A is the casing provided with the caster B, the handle ends C. C. the outlet hose conneclion I) and the nozzle E. Thenozzle is in the. usual torni and when seen from below presents an oblong rectangular opening. The toi-ward lip is preferably provided with diagonal slots F. F. Inside the nozzle are `the lugs G, G adapted to receive the ends of a roller brush which is employed when the device is used for dry vacuum cleaning.
.I is a bar with lip-turned edges between which the squeegee K is secured.
L. Il are end pieces tor the squeegee support. each provided with two upwardly eX- tending prongs or fingers M M adapted to lie on oppositel sides of the brush-holding lugs and thus hold the squeegee in the middle ot' the nozzle opening. These-ends are also provided with external spring lips N, N adapted to overhang and grip the upwardly and inwardly inclined surfaces 0, O on the ends of the nozzle so as to hold the squeegee in position.
Obviously the squeegee support and attaching means can be varied at will, the essen'- tial point being that there are means for the detachable connection of the squeegee with the nozzle so that it will be held free from both lips of the nozzle. Preferably the device takes a. form somewhat as Shown where- Speci'ficaton of Letters Patent. i
Application filed October 30, 1912.
Patented July i5, 1915. Serial No. 728,566;
in the squeegee support springs onto the,
haveillustrated might be provided with al brush for dry cleaning or for rubbing rough soft surfaces. rllhe squeegee would naturally be used for wet cleaning or smooth hard surfaces. .When the operator has inished using the vacuum cleaner as a dry cleaner, vfor example. for sweeping Floors or rugs and he desires to finish up or clean a wet floor or carry on a scrubbing operation, hel can remove the brush and substitute the squeegee; and` since it is free from the lips ot the nozzle, the latter can be moved back and forth. being operative whilebeingmoved in either direction.
rlhe end pieces Ii are preferably attached to the, bar J by soldering, or by any other desired means.'
The subject matter contained in this application is illustrated in itsv entirety or in part in each ot' my co-pending applications; #754.707, led March 17, 1913, Vacuum cleaner and #705,398, filed June 24, 1912, vacuum cleaner.
I claim:
1. In a vacuum cleaner the combination of s a nozzle with a squeegee detaehably and rigidly secured in the. mouth of the nozzle intermediate the lips, widely separated therefrom and projecting beyond said lips so as to Contact the Hoor and leave unobstructed air passages on opposite sidesl of the squeegee under the lips of the nozzle and between such lips and such squeegee.
2. In a vacuum cleaner the combination ot-a` nozzle with a squeegee and means for det-achably supporting it intermediate the lips of the nozzle, said means comprising a `support and spring lips on the ends of the squeegee support to engage the walls of the nozzle.
3. In a vacuum cleaner the combination of a nozzle with a squeegee and means for detachably supporting it intermediate the lips of the nozzle, said means comprising m v f 1,145,555
v lugs on the ends of the nozzle and a squeegee in the resenoe` of two witnesses this 25th support longitudinally arranged in the nozzle and provided with springs at its ends,
`said springs comprising bifurcated ends to 5 straddle the lugs and lips to engage the ends Witnesses: l
of the nozzle. t MINNIE SUNDFAR, In testimony whereof, I aiix my signature ALLIAN G. Ross.
