1 Claim.
This invention appertains toV new and useful improvements in appliances or attachments for vacuum cleaners and more particularly to a novel construction for facilitating the removal of dust and other foreign matterv from under low setting pieces of furniture such as upright pianos, davenports, bookcases and the like.
I'he principal object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle construction which can be manipulated under low setting furniture in such a way as to cause agitation of vclust or other foreign matter and simultaneous removal by suction of the same.
.Another important object of the invention is to 1I provide a nozzle construction of the character stated which can be easily manipulated and which will be efficient and practical in use.
Other' important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.-
In the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of the appliance connected with a vacuum cleaner.
Figure 2 is a top plan View of the nozzle.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan View of the nozzle.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the nozzle.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the nozzle with a portion of the reinforcing band removed.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the nozzle with the brushes removed.
Figure '7 is an enlarged cross sectional view on line 'I--l of Figure 4.
Figure 8 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view (enlarged) taken substantially on line 8-8 of Figure 4.
Figure 9 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional. View taken substantially on line 9 -9 of Figure 2'.
Figure 10 is a fragmentary top plan view of a modified form of the invention.
Figure 11 represents a cross sectional View taken substantially on line II-i I of Figure 10.
Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the device is an elongated narrow and thin or shallow conduit 5. As a matter of fact the same can be referred to as substantially flat and is provided with a removable cap 6 at one end. This cap is removable so that an extension can be placed on the nozzle, or simply to serve as a closure as shown in Figure 2. The opposite end of the nozzle 5 is provided with an inclined neck portion l.
The bottom side of the nozzle 5 adjacent the free end thereof is provided with a pair of suction ports 8.
Brushes are provided for the free end and sides of the nozzle 5 and each of these brushes consists of a strip of wood 9 secured to the opposite 5 longitudinal edge portions of the nozzle by passing bolts Il) transversely through the nozzle 5 with the heads II and the nuts IZ countersunk in the strip 9, it being seen that bristles i3 depend from the strips 9 a shortdistance below the bottom 10 surface of the nozzle 5 as in the manner substantially shown in Figure '7. The free end of the nozzle 5 has a brush section I4 which is connected to the adjacent end of the strip 9.
If desired, fastening means in the form shown 15.
vtween the projecting end portions of these metallic strips Illa.
In both forms of the invention, a metallic band I'l extends entirely along the outermost sides of 30 the strips 9 and end brush I4, so as to protect these strips and brush I4 against marring and damage when knocked against furniture and other objects. 'This band Il is secured in place by small screws I8. 5
Numeral I9 generally refers to the usual vacuum cleaner construction of conventional make on which the adapter 29 is located to which the hose 2| is connected. This hose extends to an elongated stiff metallic tube 22 which can. serye 40 as a handle if the operator desires. The remaining end of this tube 22 is connected by a short resilient tube 23, secured to the neck l and the tube 22 by clamps 24. Thus, suicient universal action of the nozzle 5 is obtained by the 45 connection 23 when the tube 22 is being used as a handle.
Thus it can be seen, that this appliance can be used for removing dust and other foreign matter from under davenports, upright pianos, low 50 setting bookcases and other pieces of furniture, as well as under the edge portion of carpets, rugs and other floor pieces.
While the foregoing specification sets forth' the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood 55 V 10 bers provided along the longitudinal edges of the nozzle, a transversely extending member across the outer end of the' closure, said elongated members and transverse member being provided with depending bristles, and a continuous retaining band secured to the'outsides of the said elongated members and transverse member for holding the same intact with the nozzleY and the closure against displacement.
