  • the floor tool comprises a cap D containing a cap or compartment 2 with two sweeping means or cleaning brushes 3.
  • Each brush is rotatable on a stud or shaft 4 which shaft is eccentrically mounted on a disc 5, centrally fixed on an adjusting or setting shaft 6.
  • the disc 5 is provided at the lower side with a flange, on which the closing plate or valve 1 is fixed, the purpose of which will be elucidated hereinafter.
  • On the upper surface of the disc 5 a locking; disc 8 is fixed provided with teeth 9 (Figs. 2 and 3), engaging notches or slots Ill of a sleeve I I fixed in the cap I and guiding the setting or adjusting shaft 6 in a rotatable manner.
  • a hood I2 Rigidly 'xed to the upper end of the setting shaft 6 is a hood I2, wherein is arranged a torsion spring I3, one end of said spring I3 being secured to said hood I2, the other end of said spring I3 being in rigid connection with the cap or casing I for a purpose to be described hereinafter.
  • the hood I 2 and setting shaft 6 may be lowered, lifted and rotated together as a unit; the hood I 2 is not 2 movable relative to the setting shaft 6.
  • the hood I2 is connected by means of a hinge I4 and an arm I5 with a lever I6 rotatable on a pin I'l carried by a bracket 36 secured to the casing I.
  • the rotatable lever I6 is provided with a projection 2
  • the two legs I8 of a U-shaped strap are also rotatable on this pin I1, in order to actuate the combined machine.
  • Each leg I8 has two cams I9 and 20. 'I'he cam I9 presses in the one position (shown in dotted and dash lines in Fig. 1) upon the projection 2
  • a casing 22 comprising a suction-creating fan 34 driven by a motor is mounted on the cap I, whilst in the cap I is also arranged the junction tube 23for the flexible exhaust tube 24.
  • a downwardly extending actuating shaft 25 (Figs. 2, 3, 5) rigidly connected with the shaft of the motor-fan assembly may drive both cleaning brushes by friction (Fig. 3).
  • Fig. 2 In the inactive or retracted position (Fig. 2) both cleaning 25 ⁇ brushes are out of contact with the actuating shaft 25.
  • At the sides of thebrushes 3 are ar- -ranged two running wheels (not shown) and a supporting wheel 2l in order to maintain a certain distance between the brush and the floor when aspiratlng.
  • a passage 32 connects the interior of the compartment 2 with the nozzle chamber 28 and thus through said opening 33 with the chamber 35 containing the suction-creating fan 34. Said passage 32 is closed by the valve or plate 'l when the sweeping brushes 3 are in their inactive or retracted position shown in Fig. l.
  • the valve I opens the passage 32 so that the dust thrown up by the sweeping brushes 3 may be sucked in by the fan 34
  • the machine is functioning in the following manner:
  • the handstrap I8 is moved clockwise (downward in Fig. 1).
  • the cam presses upon the upper surface of the setting or adjusting shaft 6 and then the said shaft 6 moves downward and moves the teeth 9. of the locking disc 8 out of engagement with the notches I8.
  • the teeth 9 of the disc 8 come under the notchless part of the sleeve Il (Fig. 3) so that the cleaning or sweeping brushes are held in their active or advanced position wherein they are in engagement with the oor.
  • the shafts or studs 4 will also rotate around the axis of the associated setting shaft 6, so that both cleaning or sweeping brushes are brought into engagement with the actuator shaft for rotation by the motor.
  • the handstrap I8 is moved into the outer left position (Fig. 1 dotted lines).
  • the cam I9 engages thereby the extension 2I and presses the same down.
  • the lever I8 moves to the right and rotates the hood I2 by. means of the arm I5 until the teeth 9 of the locking disc 8 come opposite to the notches I0 of the sleeve II, so that these teeth engage the notches under the action of the spring I3 now released and the cleaning or sweeping brushes 3 are lifted into the retracted position wherein they are disengaged from the floor.
  • the studs 4 are rotated about the axis of the associated setting shaft 6 and bring the cleaning or sweeping brushes out of engagement with the actuating shaft 25.
  • the spring is once more torsioned
  • the valves 1 connected to said setting shafts are brought into a position wherein the passages 32 are closed, so that no suction can be applied to the compartment 2 at this time.
  • the retraction of the sweeping brushes 3 into their inactive position causes an engagement of the agitator or beating brushes 30 with the floor.
  • 'Ihe teeth 9 of the locking disc 8 engaged with the slots I0 of the stationary locking :member II present a rotation of the setting shaft S under the action of the spring I3 at this time.
