Adjacent the lips of the lower edge of the body of nozzle 10 and at the rear wall thereof there is provided a bottom bumper channel in which is mounted the bottom rubber bumper 17. Above the channel the body of the nozzle extends longitudinally inward culminating at the top of the body in a reduced flat area provided with a small central high velocity aperture which latter is more specifically adapted to apply an intense cleaning action through a swirling vortex when applied to a surface being cleaned.
- Nozzle 10 is substantially a hollow casting, its rear wall being provided with an opening through which is inserted a suction elbow 20, the inner end of which is received in a socket 21 formed in the inside of the front wall.
- Elbow 20 is secured within the body by a securing plate 24 and screws 25 and is cut away at 22 to cooperate with the socket in such manner as to direct the flow of air through the appropriate upper or lower portion of the nozzle when the corresponding suction opening is disposed towards the surface being cleaned.
- the outer end of the elbow is adapted to be connected to a conduit leading from a vacuum cleaner in order to apply suction to the interior of the nozzle.
- the conventional rubber bumper shown namely bottom rubber bumper ring 17, protects furniture against scufiing by the nozzle during a cleaner operation. It is held in position at the front by a lip 48 which extends downwardly and into the nozzle opening 12 and includes a pair of transverse flanges 47 which extend from the socket 21 outwardly to the ends of the nozzle body.

- Member 57 thus forms a central port for free access of the suction air stream when the swivel suction elbow 20 is turned with its inner cut away portion 22 in direct communication with the large nozzle opening 12.
- bridge member 57 provides sufiicient space for enabling swivel suction elbow 20 to turn freely and close the large opening in order to direct the air flow through the smaller upper nozzle member.
- Pads 53, 54 are shaped in such a manner as to lie fiush with the lower outside cleaning lips of suction nozzle 10 when unit 50 is inserted and snapped into operative position within the cleaner nozzle opening.

- the unit 50 thus is held within the nozzle opening 12 and securely pressed against the transverse pair of flanges 47 which extend from the socket 21 outwardly to the end of the nozzle body, unit 50 being held in place by the inwardly biasing spring action of flat spring steelmembers 51, 52.

8 Claims. (Cl. 154.18)
My invention relates to a new and improved suction nozzle for use in various and different cleaning steps, more particularly, for cleaning corded or long twisted thread type rugs.
My invention also includes an attachment or insert for use with a conventional vacuum cleaner rug nozzle to thereby adapt the latter for cleaning rugs of this type.
I have found that a conventional rug nozzle having a suction opening of usual width is not satisfactory for cleaning this type of rug for the reason that the long and relatively widely separated tufts enter the nozzle opening and engage the edges of the nozzle lips, thus making it difficult to move the nozzle over the rug. Also, the rela-. tively large spaces between tufts provide so much space underneath the lips that the velocity of the air entering a conventional nozzle is too low for efiicient cleaning.
Accordingly, one of the objects of my invention is to provide a nozzle having a narrow opening throughout the greater extent of its length. This not only prevents the entrance of the tufts of the rug into the opening to any substantial extent, but the small cross-sectional area of the opening assures a high velocity of the entering air and thus eflicient cleaning.
Another object of my invention is to provide a removable insert for converting a conventional nozzle into one having the foregoing features.
Further objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification and in which:
Figure 1 is an exploded view in perspective of a partially disassembled rug nozzle together with the insert of this invention:
Figure 2 is a plan view of the insert mounted within the nozzle suction opening, with a portion of the nozzle broken away in order to show a preliminary step in its insertion;
Figure 3 is a partially sectional view of the nozzle showing the insert in plan view and self-biased within the nozzle opening; and
Figure 4 is a bottom plan view of the nozzle showing the insert in place and the narrow suction opening throughout the greater extent of its length.
Referring now more particularly ot the drawings, reference numeral designates a conventional suction nozzle of substantially hollow structure having an elongated suction opening 12. The pad bearing member 50 when inserted into nozzle 10 provides a novel, simple and improved rug cleaning embodiment in accord with this invention, one which is especially adapted for clean ing elongated cord or tufted types of rugs.
The outer ends of the nozzle opening 12 terminate in rearwardly extending wing portions 15. Adjacent the lips of the lower edge of the body of nozzle 10 and at the rear wall thereof there is provided a bottom bumper channel in which is mounted the bottom rubber bumper 17. Above the channel the body of the nozzle extends longitudinally inward culminating at the top of the body in a reduced flat area provided with a small central high velocity aperture which latter is more specifically adapted to apply an intense cleaning action through a swirling vortex when applied to a surface being cleaned.
The conventional rubber bumper shown, namely bottom rubber bumper ring 17, protects furniture against scufiing by the nozzle during a cleaner operation. It is held in position at the front by a lip 48 which extends downwardly and into the nozzle opening 12 and includes a pair of transverse flanges 47 which extend from the socket 21 outwardly to the ends of the nozzle body. A pair of end glider members 60, secured to the body of nozzle 10 by suitable securing screws 62, 72 are adapted to engage the surface being cleaned to properly space the lips therefrom. Each glider member is adapted to hold the lower bumper ring 17 in position as well as to overlie the terminal ends of plate 43 and the terminal ends of rear lip forming rod 40, thus constituting a unitary assembly'means for the nozzle member 10.
Referring now, more particularly, to the structural details of unit 5t which individually and in combination with nozzle 10 forms the subject matter of this invention, it comprises a pair of flat spring steel members 51, 52 with individual specially shaped pads 53, 54, respectively, mounted thereon by rivets such as 55. A central connecting bridge member 57, having upwardly bent arching portions, Figs. 1, 2 (downwardly arching when the cleaner nozzle is in position for use on a tufted rug), is secured to the inner ends of the fiat spring steel members 51, 52 by riveting or spot welding, so as to place flat spring members 51 and 5 2 in substantial linear alignment with each other.
Various other modifications are intended to be embraced herein. Thus, if it is not desired to have the pads 53 and 54 removable, the structures 51, 52 and 57 may be omitted and the pads 53 and 54 may then be secured by rivets 55 directly to plate 47.
It is to be understood that the embodiment herein specifically shown and described is merely illustrative and not limitative of the scope of the invention which may be variously otherwise modified within the definition of the appended claims.
