- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a combined nozzle for a dust vacuum-cleaner.
- 2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98.
- There are already known nozzles for a dust vacuum-cleaner. Each nozzle has a particular use, and they are interchangeably fitted at the end of a tube connected to a suction device.
- The most frequently used nozzles of this type are the brush for hard floors, the carpet brush or the like, and the suction devices for suction in narrow places. In order to avoid the necessity for the user to have to frequently change the nozzle, so-called “combined” nozzles, i.e. nozzles transformable to pass from one use to another use, have been provided.
- Such nozzles are essentially for brushes, in order to allow passing from a hard floor to a carpet or the like, and vice-versa, without changing the nozzle, which is achieved through retractable brushes.
- Except for some very specific cases that require a suction device of an adapted shape, the pragmatic user removes the brush and uses the bare tube, then fixes the brush in order to carry on. Removing and fixing the brush are operations not easy to carry out, because the connection is steady, in order to ensure good mechanical strength. In addition, when the brush is laid down on the floor, it is necessary to bend the body to take it up after using the suction device. When held by the hand, this transition is detrimental to guiding the tube.
- Some people have provided combined nozzles permitting conversion from the brush to the suction device, and vice-versa. Such a nozzle is described in World Intellectual Property Organization Publication No. WO 02/39865, and it includes an elongated brush having, on the lower side, a planar face, being provided or not with brushes, and being provided with a joint means. Depending on a pivoting according to an axis substantially perpendicular to said planar face, the joint means allows positioning transversely with respect to the tube or longitudinally in the extension of said tube, so as to carry out the suction through an opening extending over the full length, or part of the same, of the brush or through an opening arranged at an end of said brush, respectively.
- This nozzle has drawbacks in that maneuvering is not easy when being configured for either use as brush or suction. Though its use is identical, in the brush function, to that of a traditional brush, the nozzle function is used in very limited ways, even inefficient ways, namely because of the inclination of the brush with respect to the tube, and because it must be pushed onto the floor.
- German Patent No. DE 1173623 also provides a combined nozzle, which includes an elongated brush having, on its lower side, a planar face being provided, or not, with brushes, and being provided with a joint means. The joint means, depending on a pivoting according to an axis substantially parallel to said planar face, allows transversely or longitudinally positioning, so as to carry out the suction through an opening over the full length of the brush or at an end of the latter through another opening provided to this end, respectively.
- Such a nozzle also has drawbacks, namely in that in the suction-device position, though the brush can be positioned parallel to the tube, it is on the other hand laterally offset with respect to the axis of said tube. Because of the imbalance and its size, is particularly prejudicial to the maneuverability and the precision of use.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a combined nozzle for a dust vacuum-cleaner allowing coping with the various above-mentioned drawbacks.
- The combined nozzle for a dust vacuum-cleaner according to the invention comprises a brush interchangeably arranged at the end of a tube connected to a suction device. The brush has a planar face on the lower side thereof with or without brushes. A joint means permits arrangement thereof in at least two different positions, namely transverse with respect to the tube or longitudinally in the extension of the tube. In each position, the suction is carried out through an opening provided for at the level of the planar face over its full length, or part of the same planar face, or through an opening positioned at one of the ends, respectively. Essentially the joint means have means for permitting a pivoting according to at least two axes so that, when the brush is positioned for use for suction through one end, the brush is oriented so that the lower face as well as the longitudinal axis of the brush are substantially parallel to the axis of the suction tube.
- The joint means permit not only guiding along the suction path, but also orientation of the nozzle so that the nozzle can be used in a way similar to a traditional suction-device in the suction-device function.
- According to an additional feature of the combined nozzle of the invention, the upper portion of the brush is so shaped to accommodate the suction tube or the like, when the latter is arranged along the axis of the end opening, on a side opposite the one including the end opening.
- According to another additional feature of the combined nozzle according to the invention, the nozzle includes a spring means capable of restoring the brush portion into the longitudinal position, in the extension of the suction tube.
- According to another additional feature of the combined nozzle according to the invention, the joint means are in the form of a hollow spherical joint.
- The joint means also include two spherical or partly spherical elements, one of them being capable of closely pivoting inside the other one. The elements are provided with openings capable of being brought in front of each other depending on the orientation of one of said elements with respect to the other one.
- According to a particular embodiment of the combined nozzle according to the invention, the joint means include a pivotal chamber. The suction tube ends in the pivotal chamber, which includes an opening capable, depending on the pivoting, of being brought into communication with either the end opening or the opening provided for at the level of the planar face.
- According to an additional feature of the particular embodiment of the combined nozzle according to the invention, the suction tube is pivotally mounted, directly or indirectly, on the movable chamber, according to an axis perpendicular, or substantially perpendicular, to the axis of pivoting of said chamber.
- According to another additional feature of the particular embodiment of the combined nozzle according to the invention, the end of the suction tube closely penetrates into the movable chamber, depending on pivoting of said end.
- According to another additional feature of the particular embodiment of the combined nozzle according to the invention, the present invention includes an automatic indexing system for the brush in the extension of the suction tube. The system comprises a connecting rod pivotally articulated on said brush, restored by a spring, and capable of engaging an eccentric supporting point of the movable chamber, so as to cause the latter to pivot.
- The advantages and features of the combined nozzle according to the invention will become clear from the following description, which refers to the attached drawings, which represents several non-restrictive embodiments of same.

FIG. 1 represents a partial and schematic cross-sectional view according to a median vertical plane of the combined nozzle for a dust vacuum-cleaner according to the invention, in a brush position. -
FIG. 2 represents a partial and schematic cross-sectional view according to a median vertical plane of the same nozzle, in a suction-device position. -
FIG. 3 represents a partial and schematic cross-sectional view according to a median horizontal plane of the same nozzle, in the suction-device position. -
FIG. 4 represents a schematic top and cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the combined nozzle for a dust vacuum-cleaner according to the invention. -
FIG. 5 represents a schematic elevational and cross-sectional view of the same nozzle. -
FIG. 6 represents a partial schematic plane and cross-sectional view of the same nozzle. -
FIG. 7 represents a schematic cross-sectional view of the same nozzle. -
FIGS. 8 a and 8 b represent partial schematic cross-sectional views of a portion of the same nozzle, in two different positions of operation. - In
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3, one can see afirst embodiment 1 of a combined nozzle according to the invention, assembled at the end of atube 2 connected to suction means, not shown. The combinednozzle 1 comprises anelongated element 10, aimed at forming a brush, including a lowerplanar face 11 provided with alongitudinal opening 12 and capable of being provided with retractable or non-retractable brushes. One of its ends has asuction opening 13 capable of being connected to thetube 2 throughconduit 14. - The combined
nozzle 1 includes asleeve 15 for coupling to thetube 2, which is connected to theelement 10 through multi-axis joint means 16 capable of permitting, through pivoting motions according to the arrows P and R, orientation of theelement 10 so that, like inFIG. 1 , theelement 10 is in the brush position. Oriented transversely, theface 10 is parallel to the floor S, while thetube 2 is at an angle with respect to the floor S, and like inFIGS. 2 and 3 , theelement 10 is, in the suction-device position, oriented in the extension oftube 2. Theface 10 is substantially parallel to thetube 2. - The
element 10 also includes avalve system 3 permitting, depending on its brush or suction-device position, the suction to occur through theopening 12 or theopening 13, respectively. - When referring now to
FIGS. 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 a and 8 b, one can see anotherembodiment 4 of the combined nozzle according to the invention. - It also includes an
elongated element 40 forming a brush thelower face 41 of which is provided with alongitudinal suction opening 42, while asuction opening 43 is arranged at one end and is capable of being connected, or not, through aconduit 44, to asleeve 45 for coupling to the suction tube, not shown, through a multi-axisjoint means 5. - The joint means 5 shown in particular in
FIGS. 6 , 7, 8 a and 8 b, is in the form of a chamber-like part 50 pivoting about an axis XX′ that extends substantially perpendicular to the general axis of thebrush 40. - This
part 50 includes a plate or the like 51, on which can be articulated thesleeve 45, on apivot 46 with an axis YY′ perpendicular to the axis XX′. To this end, theend 47 of thesleeve 45 is so shaped as to be capable, depending on the pivoting according to the axis YY′, of penetrating into thepart 50 through anopening 52 in the latter, as can be seen inFIGS. 8 a and 8 b, which represent the two extreme positions capable of being adopted during this pivoting. - The
part 50 also includes, in front of theopening 52, asecond opening 53 aimed at being positioned in front of either theconduit 44 or theopening 42, depending on the pivoting according to the axis XX′. - It will be understood that, depending on the position of the
part 50, the suction occurs either through theopening 43 or through theopening 42. - When the
nozzle 4 is used in a traditional way, the articulation of thepart 50 according to both axes XX′ and YY′ permits the orientation of thebrush 40. One should note the presence of sealingskirts 54 arranged on both sides of theopening 53, which permit to guarantee the suction during the orientation of thebrush 40. - For a use as a suction-device, the
end 47 of thesleeve 45 is fully inserted into thepart 50, which pivots so as to position theopening 53 in front of theconduit 44. While thesleeve 45 locates itself in arecess 48, shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , provided for in the body of thebrush 40, so that thenozzle 45 and theconduit 44 are aligned. - It should be noted that the
nozzle 4 includes a system 6 for indexing its positioning in a suction-device position. This system 6 includes a pivotally mounted connectingrod 60, restored through aspring 61, and capable of acting on the rotation of thepart 50, or more specifically on the rotation of thebrush 40 about thepart 50. - It can thus be contemplated that, when the
brush 40 rests on the floor, its positioning in the transverse direction with respect to thesuction tube 2 is imposed by its being held by the user. On the other hand, when thebrush 40 is separated from the floor, nothing imposes its orientation and it is freely pivoting about thepart 50, which is, in turn, integral with thesleeve 45. The system 6 can then enter into operation. The connectingrod 60 is released, and thespring 61 causes it to pivot so that it engages afinger 55 of thepart 50, which is in an eccentric position. It is caused to pivot according to the axis XX′, or more specifically, in a relative way, to cause thebrush 40 to pivot about thepart 50. Thus, the lifting of thebrush 40 allows it to automatically adopt the suction-device position, and letting it rest on the floor allows overcoming the pulling force of thespring 61 and causing it to adopt its transverse position.
