The invention relates to a new and improved cleaning andrenovating device and the present disclosure is devoted to such a device in the form of an attachment for a vacuum '5 cleaner, said device embodying a bag to hold articles to be cleaned, said bag having an air inlet for connection with the exhaust of the vacuum cleaner. Associated with this air inlet, is a container for crystals which may 10 be of such nature as to assist in the cleaning of garments or the like or to treat them with fumes, for instance, to repel moths.
It is one object of the invention to provide a device of the class set forth which will be rather simple and inexpensive, yet will be highly eificient and desirable.
In carrying out the above end, a further object is to provide a unique crystal container mounted in a novel way and accessible 99 through the opening in the bag, through which the garments or the like are inserted and removed.
In the construction shown, a sleeve of rubber or other elastic material passes through 55 a small opening in the bag, the inner end of the tube being engaged with the crystal container while the outer end thereof is adapted for engagement with an air discharge nipple of a vacuum cleaner, and it is another object 39 of the invention to provide novel construction whereby a. tight connection is obtained between the elastic tube and the bag.
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, description being accomplished by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the attachment applied to a vacuum cleaner, the
article insertion and removal opening being Euro sections of the elastic tube in juxtaposiion.
Fig. i is a perspective view showing the two sections of the crystal container in juxtaposition.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail vertical section similar to a portion of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view partly in elevation showing a modification herema described.
' The preferred construction has been illustrated and while such construction will be herein specifically explained, it is to be understood that within the scope of the invention as claimed, variations may be made. Moreover, while the invention is shown as an attachment for a vacuum cleaner to receive air from the usual exhaust of the latter, it will be understood that the air under pressure could be supplied from some other source.
The invention embodies a bag 5 of canvas or other dust-proof material, said ha having a closable opening 6 extending su stan-= tially throughout its length, through which to insert and remove articles to be cleaned, a coat 7 being illustrated within the bag. At one end, the bag 5 is provided with an elastic tube 8 which projects both outwardly and inwardly therefrom, the outer end of said tube being adapted for engagement with the exhaust nipple 9 of a vacuum cleaner 10 or with some other conductor for air under ressure. The inner, end of the elastic tu e 8 snugly receives a portion of a crystal container 11, in which crystals 12 of any desired characteristics, may be placed. The container 11 embodies apertured portions which place it in communication with the bag 5 and the tube 8, but prevent any of the crystals 12 from leaving the container and entering said bag or tube.
The tube 8 preferably embodies an outer section '13 abutting the outer side of the bag wall around a small opening 14.- in the latter, and an inner section 15 similarly abutting the inner side of the bag wall around the opening 14. The section 13 is provided with a reduced extension 16 which passes through the opening 14 and is snugly received in the w inner section 15, being preferably secured by shellac, cement or the like to said section 15. Similar binder may be used between the adj acent ends of the tube sections 13 and 15 and the bag wall, insuring a tight and tenacious connection.
In providing the tube section 13 with the extension 16, we prefer to form said extension from a wire coil 17 having a rubbered fabric covering 18 and a rubbered fabric lining 19, the three elements 17, 18 and 19 forming a sleeve. One end portion of this sleeve is vulcanized or otherwise secured within the tube section 13 while the other end of said sleeve projects beyond said tube section 13 and constitutes the reduced extension 16 above mentioned. The relative diameters of the coil 17 and the covering 18, are such that said coil outwardly presses portions of the covering, providing a helical rib 20 which asslsts 1n anchoring the extension-forming sleeve within the tube sections 13 and 15, said rib serving to deform the elastic material at the interior of the section 15 so that even if no cement or the like be employed a tenacious connection is established between extension 16 and tube section 15. Preferably, the covering 18 and lining 19 are vulcanized together and vuloanizing is employed in connecting these parts and the contained coil 17 with the tube section 13. p
The crystal container 11 is of tubular form, being constructed from two rigid sections 21 and 22 which may be of metal, said sections having a detachable threaded connection 23 with each other. The side walls of both sections 21 and 22 are formed with perforations 24 and both of said walls are lined by tubular linings 25 of fine screen wire or the like. The outer ends of both sections 21 and 22 are closed by screens 26 soldered or otherwise secured in place.
Preferably, the opening 6 is provided with a strip fastener commonly known as a zipper, so that it may be quickly and easily closed or opened. When opened, the crystal container 11 is readily accessible and may be removed from the inner end of the tube 8, whereupon the two sections 21 and 22 of said container may be disconnected, allowing the desired crystals to be placed in one or both sections. They are then re-engaged with each other and the section 21 is re-inserted into the inner end of the tube section 15, being held in the latter by the resiliency thereof. If desired, section 21 may be provided with screw threads or the like 21 to assist in establishing a tenacious connection between it and the tube section 15. Either be, fore or after filling the container 11 and reapplying it, the garment orthe like 7 may be inserted into the bag 5, after'which the opening 6 is closed. All of these operations may be performed either before or after connecting the tube 8 with the nipple or the like 9. Now, when air is forced through the tube 8, it impinges upon the crystals 12 and becomes so treated by the latter as to perform agent used in container 11, the passage of air through the articles and the action of the gasoline and said agent serving to clean and umigate or disinfect.
In addition to the uses above described, the device may be eifectivel employed for renovating, cleaning an transferring feathers from one tick to another. They are first introduced into the bag 5 by coupling the usual suction hose to the vacuum cleaner and they may be effectively cleaned in said bag, by forcing air continually into the latter. To retransfer the cleaned and reno vated feathers to the tick, the bag 5 is detached from the cleaner, the tick is connected with the nipple 9, and the suction hose of the vacuum cleaner is connected with the outer end of the tube 8, so that quick and easy transfer will take lace.
Still another use 0 the device is as a disinfecting and fumigating agent in the following manner :By attaching a hose to the inner end of the crystal container and using any suitable fumigating or disinfecting agents in said container, treated air may be discharged into overstuffed furniture, mattresses, rugs and other articles, for killing of moths and germs. Further, by using sulphur or other fumigants in the crystal container, the device may be effectively used as a fumigator for sick rooms and the like.
Excellent results are obtainable from the details disclosed and while they are preferably followed, variations may be made as above stated. One such variation is shown in Fig. 6, in which 13 and 15 denote tube sections corresponding to the tube sections 13 and 15, the inner ends of these sections being enlarged or flanged at 13 and 15", respectively, to abut the bag 5, establishing a more tenacious connection with said bag.
What is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described, a crystal container comprising a tube of rigid material formed of two detachably connected sections, each of said sections having a perforated side wall, two tubular screens forming linings for and lying against the side walls of said sections respectively, said screens extending across their perforations, and two end screens closing the outer ends of said tube sections.
' 2. In a device of the class described, a bag I ting the side of the bag wall opposite the first named tube.
3. A structure as specified in claim 2; said reduced extension having a coarse external circumferential ridge, the second tube being deformed by said ridge, establishing a tenacious connection between the second tube and the extension.
4. A structure as specified in claim 2; said extension consisting of a wire coil having a covering sleeve and a lining sleeve, said covering sleeve having a helical ribformed by distortion of said covering sleeve by the coil, said second tube being deformed by said helical rib, establishing a tenacious connection between the second tube and the extenslon.
5. In a device of the class described, a bag having a closable opening through which to insert articles, said bag also havinga small opening, a tube abutting the bag wall around said small opening and having a reduced extension passing through the latter, and a second tube snugly surrounding said reduced extension and abutting the side of the bag wall opposite the first named tube.
