PORTABLE RACK FOR VACUUM CLEANERS AND ACCESSORIES April 7, 1953 Filed March 18. 1947 INVENTOR- EDWIN J. HILL 'ATTOR Patented Apr. 7, 1953 PORTABLE RACK FOR VACUUM CLEANERS AND ACCESSORIES Edwin J. Hill, Decatur, Ill.
Application March 18, 1947, Serial No. 735,405
1 Claim. 1
My invention has to do with protective housings and racks for household conveniences, an object being to provide a suitable support for domestic cleaning equipment.
A particular purpose of my invention is to provide a portable vacuum cleaner rack, in the interior of which is housed the accessories of such a cleaner; while the cleaner unit is neatly and compactly clamped in a very convenient arrangement upon the cleaner rack of my invention.
I attain the objects of my invention by the device described in this specification, defined in the claim and shown in the drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a front perspective of my vacuum cleaner rack.
Figure 2 is a rear perspective of the same.
Figure 3 is a side view of my vacuum cleaner rack, shown with a vacuum cleaner removably mounted on the same.
I shall now describe my novel rack construction as I make reference to the drawings.
It is a well known fact that with all the domestic convenience of the usual electric cleaners one of its most common annoyances is the matter of getting its accessories misplaced or locating a suitable place to keep the entire unit when it is not in use.
However, with my new vacuum cleaner rack I take care of every detail of the care, the handling and the convenient protection of all parts of a vacuum cleaner.
Thus on a portable rack unit I carried on wheels 2 I provide an upright casing 3 having shelves 4 and 5 therein for holding accessories such as suction attachments, brushes, tube unions, sweeper terminals, and the like (not shown); while a vacuum cleaner unit It) is set, nose down, in upright support cup II on a protruding shelf like bracket 12, when mounted on my rack I, and a pair of runners [2 of the cleaner l0 are held in place up against a front support bracket 13 by a pair of throw over locks [4 on this bracket.
The vacuum cleaner may be placed on the rack when the hose l5 of the vacuum cleaner is connected with the fitting l6 (see Fig. 3). The hose while connected to the vacuum cleaner is coiled about the terminal handle I! which fitting is adapted to be used on the free, service end 18 of the hose I5 when and if desired. But this handle II, when not in use is inserted down through central holes 19, 20, 2| and into bottom support cup 22 of casing 3 where this handle thus serves as a handle for the manipulation of my new vacuum cleaner rack when moving and stor- $1 8 the cleaner unit.
In Figure 2 I show in dotted lines that a bracket 23 is all that may be additionally needed to adequately support other known vacuum cleaner equipment. In lieu of the bracket 23, mentioned above, fingers 24 and 25 may be used as shown in Figure 1 to support additional known vacuum cleaner equipment.
In Figures 2 and 3 a rear door 2'! is shown to provide a closure for the casing 3 of the rack. Snap catch 26 is used to keep the door in a closed or locked position.
Thus after this description I claim:
A vacuum cleaner rack comprising an upright rectangular casing, shelves within said casing with a central hole defined in each, a bottom for said casing and an upright cup fixed centrally thereon, a top for said casing and a central hole defined therein in vertical alignment with the holes in the several shelves of the casing and with the upright central cup aifixed to the bottom of the casing, said holes and cup being adapted to receive a fitting of the vacuum cleaner, a hinged door covering the rear of said casing, supporting wheels for said casing, a horizontal forwardly protruding shelf integral with and flush with the bottom of said casing and provided with an upright and forwardly disposed cup thereon, said cup forming a base support for a vacuum cleaner, a bracket on the upper forward face of said casing provided with a pair of spaced throw over supporting locks, said throw over locks being adapted to lock to the runners of a vacuum cleaner, when the same is positioned with its nose in the cup on the protruding shelf of the rack.
