Abstract
A novel vacuum attachment for vacuuming planar elements of varying widths is provided. The attachment comprises a hollow member having a first end adapted for attachment to a vacuum cleaner hose and a second end having one or more elongate apertures formed therein and adapted for receiving a planar element. Each elongate aperture comprising a pair of parallel arms having a hollow interior with opposing and facing openings, each opening being in communication with the elongate aperture and with the first end. The aperture is sufficiently long to accept a relatively wide planar element. The attachment further comprises adjustment means for selectively adjusting the effective length of the aperture which enables the attachment to accommodate planar elements of varying widths. In a preferred embodiment, the length adjustment means comprises a sliding member slidably positioned over the second end for selectively blocking a longitudinal portion of the aperture.
Description
- The invention relates generally to a cleaning device and more particularly to a nozzle attachment for a vacuum for cleaning differing widths of slats and other planar elements.
- When cleaning dust, dirt and other debris from planar elements, such as Venetian blind slats, louvers, jalousies, and ceiling fan blades, there exist a variety of slotted, or slit, vacuum cleaner attachments to assist in the process. For example, slit attachments for cleaning of Venetian blinds and the like are well known in the vacuum cleaner art, including U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,608,710, 3,520,018, and 4,756,050. Likewise, slotted attachments exist to aid in the cleaning of ceiling fans, including U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,765,259 and 6,345,409.
- However, all of these devices lack the ability to adapt to differing widths of slats, louvers, jalousies or blades. To deal with the problem of differing width of such planar elements, these devices may come in a range of slot sizes; a user having to purchase differently sized devices appropriate for each width of slat. Alternately, the user may use one device, sized towards the wider end of the spectrum, and apply it to both wide and narrow slats. However, in such a case the suction power around the narrow slat is significantly reduced due to the slot being oversized.
- What is needed is a vacuum attachment adaptable for cleaning differing widths of slats and other planar elements and capable of focusing the suction power around the planar surfaces of the slat, regardless of its width.
- A novel vacuum attachment for vacuuming planar elements of varying widths is provided. The attachment comprises a hollow member having a first end adapted for attachment to, and communication with, a vacuum cleaner hose and a second end having one or more elongate apertures formed therein each adapted for receiving a planar element. Each elongate aperture comprises a pair of parallel arms having a hollow interior with opposing, facing openings, each facing opening being in communication with the elongate aperture and with the first end. The elongate aperture is adapted to accommodate planar elements of varying widths. The attachment further comprises adjustment means for selectively adjusting the effective length of the aperture. Adjustment of the aperture's effective length enables the attachment to accommodate planar elements of varying widths thereby focusing the vacuum's suction power across the planar surfaces of the planar element.
- In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment means comprises a sliding member slidably positioned over the second end. The sliding member moves or slides axially, relative to the hollow member, so as to selectively block the passage of air through a longitudinal portion of the aperture and thereby adjusting the effective length of the aperture. Preferably, preset means, for retaining the sliding member at any of a number of preset aperture blocking positions, are provided. More preferably, venturi-like bumps on the sliding member act to increase the velocity of air as it passes into the hollow member, thus enhancing the localized suction near the planar element when it is engaged by the attachment.
- FIGS. 1a-1 d are perspective views of one embodiment of the invention;
- FIGS. 2a and 2 b are top views of the invention according to FIGS. 1a-1 d with a preferred embodiment of the aperture length preset means;
- FIGS. 3a and 3 b are perspective views of another embodiment of the invention wherein the sliding member has venturi bumps;
- FIG. 3c is a front view of the embodiment of FIG. 3b; and
- FIGS. 4a and 4 b are perspective views of a third embodiment of the invention, illustrating multiple apertures.
- With reference to FIGS. 1a-1 d, one embodiment of a
vacuum attachment 10 for a vacuum cleaner is illustrated. Theattachment 10 comprises a unitary, elongatehollow member 12 and a shorter sleeve-like slidingmember 14 therearound. Thehollow member 12 has a tubularfirst end 12 a adapted for attachment to a vacuum cleaner hose or wand (not shown) and a second, bifurcateend 12 b, adapted for supporting the slidingmember 14 and for receiving planar elements orslats 15. The tubularfirst end 12 a has an opening 12 c for communication of the member's hollow interior with the vacuum cleaner hose (not shown). - The bifurcated
end 12 b further comprises a pair of parallel, axially extendingarms openings elongate aperture 18 therebetween. Theopenings hollow member 12 for the passage therethrough of air from theaperture 18 to the vacuum cleaner hose (not shown). Accordingly, the vacuum's suction power is directed through theopenings aperture 18. Preferably, thearms slat 15. - The
elongate aperture 18 has a length adapted for receiving a relativelywide slat 15 a (FIGS. 1a, 1 c) and is therefore also capable of receiving a relatively narrow slat 15 b (FIG. 1b). Preferably, the width of theaperture 18 is only slightly larger than the thickness of theslat 15 so as to concentrate the vacuum's suction over the planar surfaces of theslat 15. - The sliding
member 14 is slidably positioned over the hollow member'ssecond end 12 b (FIGS. 1a, 1 b). The slidingmember 14 slides axially, in a direction A relative to thehollow member 12, so as to selectively block the passage of air through a longitudinal portion of theaperture 18. The slidingmember 14 is thereby able to selectively adjust the effective length of theaperture 18. Preferably, aperture length preset means 20 retains the slidingmember 14 at any of a number of preset aperture effective lengths. - In this embodiment, the hollow member's
second end 12 b is narrower than thefirst end 12 a and has a flat profile, thereby restricting the axial movement of the slidingmember 14 towards thefirst end 12 a at about point B. Other designs of thesecond end 12 b and slidingmember 14 are equally suitable as long as the effective length of theaperture 18 remains selectively adjustable. For example, the flat profile of thesecond end 12 b may be changed to a tubular profile, with the slidingmember 14 profiled accordingly. - In this embodiment the sliding
member 14 is a collar. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the slidingmember 14 can be replaced by a pair of sliding panels or other such adjustment means mounted on, or engaged with, thesecond end 12 b for adjusting the effective length of theelongate aperture 18. - Referring now to FIGS. 2a and 2 b, the
attachment 10 with a preferred embodiment of the aperture length preset means 20, is illustrated. The preset means 20 comprises an internally facingprotrusion 22 on the slidingmember 14 and a plurality oftransverse notches 24 spaced axially at regular intervals along thesecond end 12 b of thehollow member 12. During operation, theprotrusion 22 engages one of thenotches 24 thereby retaining the slidingmember 14 at one of the preset aperture blocking positions and setting the length of theaperture 18 to a preset aperture effective length. - The dimensions of the
protrusion 22 andnotch 24 are sufficiently large to keep the slidingmember 14 at the preset aperture blocking position during normal cleaning operation. However, the dimensions of theprotrusion 22 and notch 24 are sized so as allow themember 14 to be manually slid from one preset position to the next without compromising the member's ability to selectively block air flow through a portion of theaperture 18 and without undue force needing to be applied to slide themember 14. Theprotrusion 22 can be formed of resilient material to enable theprotrusion 22 to flex in and out of thenotches 24. In this embodiment, theprotrusion 22 is circumferential around the inside diameter of the slidingmember 14 and is located at afront end 14 a. Accordingly, thenotches 24 are circumferential around the outside of thesecond end 12 b. - Operation:
- Referring again to FIGS. 1a-1 b, the bifurcation of the
second end 12 b allows theattachment 10 to be slipped over aslat 15 and moved therealong in a sideways fashion C, thereby cleaning theslat 15. Theaperture 18 andopenings slat 15 prior to entering thehollow member 12. Any dust and dirt are thereby ducted in the air stream, moving via the interior of thehollow member 12 to the vacuum hose (not shown). Advantageously, the cross-sectional profile of the hollow interior of thearms slat 15 is inserted into theaperture 18. Such venturi chambers enhance the vacuum's effect adjacent the planar surfaces of theslat 15. - When vacuuming a
narrow slat 15 b, an adjustment of the effective length of theaperture 18 by moving the slidingmember 14 or other such aperture length adjustment means, enables the attachment to adapt to the width of aparticular slat attachment 10 overcomes the prior art problem of oversized slots being utilized with narrow slats and the associated reduction in suction power. In fact, by adjusting the effective length of theaperture 18 for anarrow slat 15 b, theattachment 10 further concentrates the vacuum's suction power around the planar surfaces of thenarrow slat 15 b thus improving cleaning. - Second Embodiment:
- With reference to FIGS. 3a-3 c, another embodiment of the sliding
member 14 is shown. This embodiment of the slidingmember 14 is like that described for FIGS. 1a-2 b, but further comprises a pair of opposing venturi bumps 30 a, 30 b. The venturi bumps 30 a, 30 b are located on thecircumferential protrusion 22 of the preset means 20 so as to project into theaperture 18. As air is drawn past the venturi bumps 30 a, 30 b, due to the suction produced by the vacuum, the velocity of the air is increased creating additional suction and an eddy-like movement to the air. This additional suction and air movement assists in dust and dirt removal from the planar element. - Third Embodiment:
- Now referring to FIGS. 4a and 4 b, another embodiment of the
attachment 10 is shown. This embodiment is generally like the embodiment of FIGS. 1a-2 b, but the hollow member'ssecond end 12 b is no longer bifurcated. More specifically, thesecond end 12 b is forked, comprising a plurality of axially extendingarms openings apertures arms apertures openings - As with the previous embodiments, the
apertures member 14 is slidably positioned over thesecond end 12 b and, like the previous embodiments, slides axially so as to selectively block the passage of air through a portion of theapertures attachment 10 of this embodiment also comprises aperture length preset means 20. More preferably, theattachment 10 further comprises venturi bumps (not shown) on the slidingmember 14. - While the invention has been described with reference to several preferred embodiments, it is to be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited thereto. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be interpreted only in conjunction with the appended claims.
