(als r t-meta, Riversiderflonn assignor I .to.ElectroluxporporatiomDover;Delqa corpo- I T ration of, Delaware My invention relates suction nozzles; :and 7 more particularly to suction nozzles having a plurality of=suction openings. r;
An object of my invention is to provide an improved suction nozzle with one suctionopening for eificiently removing embedded. dirt= and another suction opening which maybe used-"either ror removing loose surface inaterial or lint, 1 "threads; hairs, 'andthe like, fadhering to the" surface of the rug.
Another object-of my 'invention is to'provide a suctionnoz'zl'e with three cleaningpositions,
any one of which maybe; readily presented for cleaning a particular materialor for removing dirt or any particular character.
A further. bject of my'invention I to provide an'improvedsuctionnozzle with'meansforreadily and efliciently removing s'u r face lint, hairs,
threads; and the like.
What I consider to" be novel and 'm'y' in'vention v may be better understood by reference-m the-fol- 'lo'wing specification and appended claimswhen I .co'ns'ider'ed in connection 'wi'ththe accompanying drawings, in which' Fig. 2 is a sidexviewpartly insectionf Fig. 3 is a topiiew With'the Comb leevean a 'diiierent position m thatfoi Fi 1 1 A I war -i 'jFig. 5'1; a detailed view are portionof the suction'n'ozzle; e 1

I Referring to the drawings, in indicates a suction nozzle generally having a body II with an enlarged suction opening l2 on one side and a smaller opening l3 at the other side. Opening 2 is bounded by a smooth lip l4 having an arched cross-section, as best shown in Fig. '7, with a rearwardly extending flange l5 located at each end of the body H. The top opening 13 is considerably smaller than the opening l2. A plate l6 covers the opening l3 and has a central passage 'l'l communicating with the opening l3. Located at one side of the passage I1 is a rod IS with alternate transverse tongues l9 and grooves 20. Rod I3 is provided with extensions 2| at each end which enter openings in -L-shaped plates 22. A substantially cylindrical sleeve 23 having an open.
:mg'. 1 is a top viewo'f myimprovd' nozzle- I f "of body II- by means of a-plate 3'! and boltsy38. An annular'ring 39 is securedto. tube 35. by means covered. A -flnger g1ip 2.5 is formedfiintegirally with the sleeve .23 and-may beutilizjedlior turningkthe sleeve overto cover; the tongues f9 :"ahd grooves 20' of rod, l8 as shown-in 3. Plate I6 is provided with tongues 26 nagrtdv sgzraaviacentlthe edge of passage "I l ontheside oppositeto rod l8. As bestindicated-in, 'Lthe top oi'tongues 26 are in substantiallythe same aplane-as the topsurfaceof plate [5 atthe opposite side of passage l'l. At opposite ends of t he'pla te -'|6,=surfaces 28 are provided and extend slightly 5 above the top of rod 18'. When -s1eeve;-23- is.in
the. open position indicated in Fig.4, a-spring 29 z engages .inia slot30, provided in one end of the sleeve 23. When sleeve.23,is movedto the closed "position as indicated in- Figs. 6 and 7,,the.spring 29 engages the free edges,adj acent-=the, opening 2110f sleeve 23.- a Spring 29 is substantially-of.

1. Ajsu'ction-nozzle "'omprisinga body member general cleaning of a rug, the nozzle is moved back and forth over the rug with the suction opening I2 in contact with the rug. As the nozzle ,IO is moved over the rug, .the suction of the vacuum cleaner produces a. large flow of g v andextending outwardly from said body beyond air throughlthe opening I! which readily removes the embedded dirt from the rug. In some cases it may be desired to use the suction nozzle,
I simplyto remove surface dirt from a part of opening i3 in contact with the'rug' surface. For
simply removing loose surface dirt, the tongues andgrooves'of rod I8 may be covered by the sleeve 23, However, if the surface dirt: consists ,in alternate positions, and extensions from said having'an elongated suction opening, spaced projections extending; outwardly from said body .=-'member along one side of said opening, a rod having"transverse'- tongues and grooves secured adjacenti t he other, side of said suction opening the projectionsat the opposite side of said openi1' 1g,"a sleeve extending over said rodand serving to cover and uncover said tongues and grooves bodyat each ;end of :said opening extending out- ;wardlyi beyond said tongues 2. A suction nozzlecomprisin g a meme her having an elongated suction opening, spaced of lint, hairs, threads, and the like which adhere to thesurface of the rug, it may beymore efflciently removed by rotating the sleeve 23 to the position to uncover the tongues I9 and grooves 20, of rod IS; The tongues l9 andgrooves or rodi8 loosen the lint, threads, and the like and permit the flow of air at a' relatively high velocity due to the, small suction opening 13 to carry the lint, eta-intothe vacuum cleaner.
