WILLIAM J. TIDEMAN, F CANTON, OHIG, ASSIGNCBR TO THE UNITE) ELECTRIC COND .'EANY, 0F GANTN, OHIO. A COREORATION.
POOL-CLEANING TOUL.
Application filed ctcber 31, .1921 Serial No. 511,964.
- the object of the improvement is to provide means for catching socks, lerchiefs and like articles which may find their way through the cleaning tool into the swiveled hose titting, and also to provide means for removing the same from the iitting.
In cleaning swimming pools with a suction tool it is difficult, ii"- not impossible to prevent the entrance of socks, kerchiefs, and other small articles, from entering the tool, and although they may pass freely through the tubular stem they frequently lodge in the suction hose to clog the same, and great inconvenience and difficulty may be experienced in removing the article from the hose.
rlhe hose connection for such a tool may be in the form of a cylindric fitting swiveled at each end upon adjacent ends of the nozzle tube and the handle bar, with a hose connection at one sid-e; and the present invention involves the use of connecting means between the adjacent tube and bar orming a cage to shield the entrance to the hose, and the use of a normally covered hand hole in another side ot the fitting for removing articles caught therein.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved pool cleaning tool;
Fig. 2, a cross section ot' the same on line H-II, Figs. 1, 4 and 5;
Fig. 3, a cross section on line lill-III, Figs. 1, 4 and 5;
Fig. 4, a side elevation oi the swiveled hose connection fitting.y on the hand hole side; and
Fig. 5, a longitudinal section of the same on line V-V, Fig. 4.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
The pool cleaning tool may comprise the suction nozzle 1 on the lower end of a tubular stem 2, a handle bar 3 in axial alignment and adjacent to the upper end of the tubular stem, and a hose fitting 4 swiveled on the adjacent ends of the tube and bar, with a hose 5 connected to one side of the iitting.
A. collar bushing 6 is secured to the upper end ot the tubular stem 2, and a cap bushing is secured to the lower end of the handle bar 3. The tube and bar are connected and held Yfrom relative rotation in axial alignment by means oi a plurality of long bolts 8 extending through the cap bushing into the cellar bushing, as well shown in Fig. 5.
A cylindric tting 9 is swiveled around the adjacent bushings 6 and 7 and holds them in spaced relation, by means of annular grooves 10 and 10 in the periphery of the bushing and segmental guides 11 secured inside the fitting and operating in the annular grooves, as well shown in Figs. 2 and fit one side of the fitting is provided the hose connection 1Q, and in another side of the Ytting is provided a hand hole 13 normally closed by a removable cover 14.
By this construction and arrangement it is evident that the shanks of the bolts 8 torni a cage around the tubular stem 2, within the chamber 15 formed between the ends ot the tube and bar by the cylindric tting 9; which cage catches articles drawn through the tube into the fitting, and prevents the same from entering the hose; and it is revident that an article caught in the fitting can be readily removed therefrom by detaching the cover 14 from the hand hole 13.
I claim:
1. A' pool cleaning tool including a tubular stem and an adjacent handle bar in axial alignment, connecting means holding the tubular stem and handle bar from relative rotation, a cylindric fitting swiveled on the adjacent ends oi" the tubular stem and handle bar forming ay chamber between them, a hose connection at one side of the fitting. a normally covered hand hole in another side of the fitting.
2. A pool cleaning tool including a tubular stem and an adjacent handle bar connected in axial alignment, a cylindric litting swiveled on the adjacent ends et the tubular stem and handle bar forming a chamber between them, a hose connection at one side of the fitting, and means forming a cage within the fitting around the opening of the tube.
3. A pool cleaning tool including a tubular stem and an adjacent handle bar connected in axial alignment, a cylindric fitting swiveled on the adjacent ends of the tubular stem and handle bar forming a chamber between them, a hose connection at one side of the fitting, a normally covered hand hole in another Side of the fitting, and means forming a cage Within the fitting around the opening ol" the tube.
4. A pool cleaning tool including a tubular stem and an adjacentl handle bar conneeted in axial alignment, a cylindric itting swiveled on the adjacent ends of the tubular stem and handle bar forming a chamber between them, a hose connection at one side of the fitting, a normally covered hand hole in another Side of the fitting, and connecting` bolts between the tube and bar forming a cage Within the chamber around the opening' of the tube. 1,
