1 Claim. (Cl. 15-158) The present invention relates to suction nozzles for vacuum cleaners.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved construction and arrangement in suctween the coupling and the suction nozzle permits the angular position of the tube l3 to be changed at will. The pivot pin 8 is located so close to the nozzle lips that there is substan- 5 tion nozzles and for a consideration of what I tially no tendency to tip the nozzle as it is moved. 5 believe to be novel and my invention attention The lower position of the handle is limited by is directed to the following description and the contact of the lower side of the coupling with claim appended thereto. the upper surface of the shoe 4. The upper In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a rear position of the handle is limited by an adjustelevation partly in section of a suction nozzle able stop l6 which contacts the upper edge of 10 embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional the arcuate wall I. end elevation of the suction nozzle; Fig. 3 is a In the rear side of the front nozzle lip is a bottom plan view of the suction nozzle, the recess ll in which is carried a brush IS. The brush being removed; and Fig. 4 is a perspective brush is supported by leaf springs l9 having view of the nozzle connected to a suction hose. their ends respectively fixed to the bosses 15 Referring to the drawing, there is shown a and to the brush. The springs I9 normally supsuction nozzle I having front and rear surface port the brush in an elevated position in which contacting lips 2 and 3. As shown in Fig. 1 the bristles are slightly above the nozzle lips. the ends of the lips are lower than the interme- The brush is normally out of contact with the 0 diate portions of the lips. During the use of surface being cleaned. Under some circum- 20 the suction nozzle the intermediate portions of stances, for example in removing lint from a the lips'are therefore supported slightly above floor covering, it is desirable that the surface the surface being cleaned. If the nozzle is used being cleaned be subjected to a brushing action. for cleaning a floor covering, the floor covering This is accomplished by lifting the handle I5 will therefore be lifted against the intermediate thereby causing the handle to pivot about the 25 portion of the nozzle lips and will be more efpin 8 in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed fectively cleaned as the nozzle is moved across in Fig. 2. This causes the lower end 21 of the the floor covering. Projecting from and sub- Wall I0 to contact the upper edge of the brush stantially flush with the rear nozzle lip 3 is a and force it downward. The leaf springs I9 shoe 4, the rear part 5 being at the same level prevent tilting of the The pp Edge 30 as the ends of the nozzle. The nozzle, therefore, of the brush is provided with a rubber covering has a three-point support which holds the noz- 22 which reduces the noise caused by the conzle lips in alignment with the floor covering.
