` Anz- WAY `CLEANING. CABINET Application led October 29, 1921. lSerial No. 511,351.
This invention relates td furniture-ordittings for Nhuman habitations, Whether attached to Aexisting forms of furniture, constructed as a separate portable vunit, or built in. as an integral part ofthe architecture.
The objectsof the invention are to provide a convenient cabinet or repository for i receiving, and enlarging the service of, mod-` `ern electric suction sweepers; to extend to such devices the utilities of standard tools and appliances of so-called vacuum cleaner plants; and to combine ina single piece. of furniture, a mirrored hall-rack and sanitary clothes cleaner, together withv minor service rendering features, as will appear.
- In carrying out the inventlon, I construct a cabinet having air-ways leading' inward to the reposed cleaner within.
Since manyof the older forms of electric suction cleaners and Sweepers have unwield# ly and multifarious features without aim or apparent thought of standardization, Ldo not attempt to show a construction, ready to receive any and everyof them, but the invention contemplates a construction that would repose any of them for the same purose. P For the reason stated, I illustrate inthe accompanying drawings, forms of cleaning appliances, which are ofmy separate inventions, conceived andconstructed, largely anticipatory df the present invention'. Re-
, ferring to the drawings therefore,
Figtl shows a side elevation' of an ordinaryform of hall-rack where it is adapted to and has a reposing drawer` slidably connectedto the,back thereof, one side of the same bein removed to show details of the interior. ig. 2 is a front view of` the same,
where the drawer is slid side-Wise von its.
ways so as to show a front view of the interior containing the .-.operably connected sweeper, and showing details of its connections. Fig. 2 shows avertical section cutting thru the chambered member 25 on a line passing thru the orifice 24 and the slot 25". Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same, partly in section on the line .X--Y- of Figure 2. lFig. 4 is a. front elevation of a simplified form of they invention, in which the cabinet is closable `b hinged doors, and may be movable orbuilt in, as a part of f y, architectural plans. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the form shown in Figure 4 where the-'doors are removed, and `the interior `exit being desirable to use paper filters, sincethe discharge air from the cleaner in use is retlrned to the room in which it is operate Referring further to the drawings, 1 designates an exterior casing of a cabinet or drawer thereof, .standing near the wall 2. It may be supported by run ways 1', 1'-, secured to the hollow upright posts 3, 3, which have closed upper and lower ends, but are provided with air-Ways 3', 3f, which are operatively joined with an air-way transverse pipe or conduit-3". `Leading into the airways of the cabinet is the vlonger part of the suction pipe handle 4 connecting with welded to the back, the metal being integral with that making the shells of the posts 3, 3. In the form suggested by Fig. 4, a wooden frame `8\ may hold a mirror, and with it form the main door of the cabinet.
The cleaner, to be inclosed has an electric motor 9 arranged to drive the centrifugal air pump or fan 9 so that suction will proceed either thru the handle 4 or the-shorter section 4 connecting with the suction tool esy 10, according as the valve -10 is turnedwith t the arrow pointing up or down. The nipple 4 leads`from the chamber 11 which likewise connects with an exterior set ofr nipples 12, 12etc. each closable with caps 12', 12 etc., all being air inlets to which a suitable Vsuction h0se'13, carrying application tools 14 is attachable for service.
vThe slotted floor tool 10 of the cleaner impinges on the chambered member 25, in the bottom of the'cabinet, the slot or 'mouth of the floor tool coinciding with the slotted opening 25 leading from the interior cham secured with .the upper edge to the pipe handle 4. This arrangement restricts the space occupied by. the collector as a Whole during inflation. y
When the dust bag is attached and the cleaner is set into its repository, the motor 9 reposes on the rest 15 which has a vertical adjustment and is operated by the foot-lever 16, so as to simultaneously bring the tip of. the handle 4 and the mouth of the floor tool 10, into registering engagement, respectively, with the nipple "4 and slot 25.l H
Electric connection may be made tov the wall outlet 17 and the cabinet outlet 18 by wires 18 connecting the two outlets. Wires 17 may be strung to the push'button device 17 thruv the hollow interior of eithery ofthe posts 3. The servlce cord 19 adapted to connect with the outlet 18 is preferably wound on a suitable enclosing reel 20; and
ya peg 21 is arranged within the cabinet on which the reel may be hung.
A foot rest- 31 and shoe cleaning and polishing things 14 and 32; as well as other paraphernalia may be kept under the lid or seat 5 of the extension 5, and within reach of the connected hose 13, which is adapted to .enhance their service. In the substitute form, the inside of the lower doors 35, 35 may receive such 1 equipment or modification thereof.
To explain the operation for the mainv purposes, let it be understood that besides the ordinary floor sweeping to which the cleaner shown is adapted, the hose 13, or any suction tool as 14 may be directly or indirectly connected to the end of the handle .4, and special cleaning performed at any distant place. But to utilize the cabinet, adjustment is made so that as the motor rests on the rest 15 in its lower limit, the
tip of the handle 4 will be pushed intothe nipple 4 as the rest is lifted by the footlever 16.. 'The mouth of the floor tool is brought to registering relation with the slot 25 by the same operation, so that no matter in which position the valve 10 has been left by the user, operable connection to the air-way system of the cabinetis assured. If a simple form of sweeper not having the suction handle isto be provided for, a simpler arrangement for floor tool connection only, may be substituted on the bottom of the an L-shaped air way 33 traversing the bot,
tom and one side of the cabinet is connected to the nipple 4 at'the top, to the hose nipple 12 near' the middle of the riser, and by an L 34 to the mouth block 25 on the horizontal section. Opening or closing the door of the cabinet where this style of piping is used does not interfere with the continuity of the air-ways; but where the cabinet drawer is to be slid open as shown `in Fig. 2, in order to operate successfully, afterv the cleaner is properly set in place, the drawer must be slid back until the ports 23 and 24 respectively coincide with 23 and 24. A portion of the top of each repository is to be left open for the exit of the exhaust air which filters thru the paper and cloth retainer. ing, and in order to muliie the sound extra dust bag paper receptacles waiting to be used may be laid over the screen without ,loss of efciency.
Having. thus described the invention and the manner of operation, it is apparent Omany variations are possible within the scope ofthe invention.
