F. W. ELWORTHY VACUUM CLEANER ATTACHMENT Filed May 21, 1928 IN VEN TOR. FRED Ema/r W. [L won 171 Y BY A TTOR NE Y'S.
Patented Feb. 11, 1930 PATENT OFFICE FREDERICK W. ELWORTHY, OF PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA VACUUM CLEANER- ATTACHMENT Application filed May 21, 1828. Serial No. 279,518.
The standard vacuum cleaner is provided with two hooks on the'handle around which the electric cord is wound when the cleaner is not in use. It is necessary to unwind this cord from the hooks each time the device is operated.
The purpose of my invention is to provide an attachment which takes the place of one of the hooks, permitting the cord to be wound 1 on the cleaner inthe usual manner.
tachment may be swung back when it is desired to free the cord from the handle, and
- this will drop the loops of wire from the handle, thus saving the operator the time normally consumed in unwinding the wire from the hooks.
. A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described which is extremely simple in construction and which may be attached to a standard cleaner without any alterations;being-necessary.
Other objects and advantages will appear" in the following specification, and the'novel features'thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended. claim.
-Myinvention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application,in which Figure l 's a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner showing my device operatively applied thereto;
. gigure 2 is a side elevation of the device; an
Figure 3 is a top plan view.
A spring 11 has its ends-secured to the opposite edges of the portion 6, and this spring is passed beneath the hook 10 and tends to 5 iswing the hook 4 into the full line position The atv .In carrying out my invention, I make use shown in Figure 2 after the book has been manually moved from the dotted-line position into a position beyond dead center. The spring is strong enough to carry the wire 3and hold it up in the manner shown in Figure 1,yet
at the same time the hook 4 can be manually depressed for freeing the wire 3 therefrom.
From the foregoing description of the various-partsof the device, the operation thereof will bereadily understood.
The hook at is normally in the position shown in Figure 1, and the wire is wrapped in around the hooks 2 and 4 as shown. When the operator desires to use the vacuum cleaner, the hook 4 may be depressed, dropping the Wire therefrom, and also'from the hook 2 down upon the floor. This saves the annoy ance of unwinding the wire from the hooks, and also saves considerable time. The hook 4=jmay be swung back into the full line position shown in Figure 2 ready for the wire to be wrapped therearound.
. I claim:
A vacuum cleaner attachment comprising a handle, a hook carried thereby for supporting a bag, a hinge having one of its members secured to the hook, a swingable hook se-J cured to the other member of the hinge and having ears adapted to partially straddle the handle, and a spring having its ends secured so to the ears and being passed around the firstnamed hook for swinging the second-named hook into open or closed position.
