It should be noted that each threaded bore 71 is extended to a transverse opening 75 in the wall of housing portion 24. The transverse opening 75 is adapted to receive an adjustable armature brush means 76 which contacts the armature 77 of the motor means 28. Setting of the brush means 76 in proper position may be performed in well-known manner and the brush means 76 may be secured in selected position by a set screw 78 which is threaded in the threaded bore 71 in front of bolt 69.
In Fig. 8 means are shown for mounting the heater means 18 and at the same time providing an electrical connection thereto. The end wall 25 of housing portion 24 may be provided with diammetrically opposite ports 80 each having an interior shoulder 81 formed therein. The shoulder 81 alfords a seat for an insulator ring 82 made of any suitable dielectric material. Above insulator ring 82 and spaced therefrom is provided an insulating ported button 83 of dielectric material. A flanged sleeve 84, positioned with its flange between the insulators 82 and 83, extends downwardly and beyond the inner surface of end wall 25 for electrical connection with an electrical eyelet 85 carried at one end of a lead 86. The eyelet may be secured by a nut 87 threaded on sleeve 84. The lead 86 is electrically connected in suitable manner to the power leads electrically connecting means 28 to an electrical power source.
Each ported insulator 83 and sleeve 84 is adapted to receive 2. prong 88 secured to an annular radially inwardly extending flange 89 provided on the internal surface of a generally cylindrical heater housing 90. Each prong 88 may be electrically connected in well-known manner as at 91 to an electrical resistance unit 92. The resistance unit 92 is supported within heater housing 90, extends thereacross, and may comprise a plurality of spaced high resistance coils of selected wire.
The heater housing includes a slotted grid 94 extending between the flange 89 for passing air delivered from the discharge ports 26 of end wall 25 to the resistance means 92. The opposite end of the heater housing 90 includes a slotted end wall 95 from which heated air may be discharged when the heater means 18 is mounted on the suction device.
The motor means 28 may be electrically connected in well-known manner to a suitable source of electrical power through a cord and socket means. A switch 97 may be provided on the housing portion 24 for starting and stopping the motor means 28.
In operation it will be readily apparent that upon energizing the motor means 28 by throwing the switch 97 to on position, the motor shaft 29 will rotate and the impeller members 38 will be driven at a relatively high rate of speed. Air is sucked through the open end of suction housing 17 through port 67 in the attachment 19 and through the screen means 69. Particles of dead skin, dandruff, and the like which are loosened by the prongs 67 of attachment 19 will be sucked through the port 67 and deposited upon the screen means 60. The air continues to flow through the openings 58 into the first annular chamber 48 where a centrifugal action is imparted to the air by the curved blades 56 on the first impeller member 33. The centrifugally directed air flows through the annular space between suction housing 17 and the impeller member and into the space above the first impeller member 38. The vanes 44 on the stator means direct the air flow radially inwardly and toward the central port of the stator member. The second impeller member 38 acts to draw the air through the central port 55 and again imparts centrifugal flow to the air by reason of blades 56 on the second impeller member 38. Air passing around the circumference of the second impeller member 38 is again directed radially inwardly by stationary blades 100 carried by and depending from end wall 36 of the motor housing portion 21. The blades 100 are curved along their longitudinal axis in the same direction as the blades 44 and 56. These blades 100 direct the air into a plurality of spaced ports 101 which admit air into the motor housing 16 for passage therethrough. Passage of such air through the motor housing serves to cool said motor and to prevent overheating.
In order to facilitate suction of air into the suction housing 17, the step 46 thereof may be provided with a plurality of spaced openings 102 for permitting air to pass externally of the motor housing 16. The area of each opening 102 is predetermined by the amount of air desired to flow through the motor housing.
Air is discharged axially of the motor housing through air discharge port 26 in end wall 25. Thus when the heater unit is not employed, air sucked through the device may be discharged directly to atmosphere.
It should be noted that the circumferential margin of the suction housing 17 may be provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced notches or recesses 103 adapted to admit air to the suction housing in the event the suction housing is directly placed upon a fiat surface in vertical position with the motor running. Such an air source prevents overheating and damage to the motor.
The heating means 18 may be employed when flow of hot air is desired for the purposes of, for example, drying hair after washing. The heating means 18 is conveniently operably connected to the suction device by simply plugging the prongs 88 into the openings provided in the ports 83 until the prongs are received within the sleeve 85 where an electrical connection is made to the line providing current for running the motor. As the resistance means becomes heated, air passing through the heating unit from the discharge ports in the suction device is heated and discharged from the slots 95 in the end wall of the heating unit.
It will thus be readily apparent that the suction device described above provides through the multi-stage impeller means a powerful source of suction. The device is compact, lightweight and may be readily handled in one hand.
When the device is being employed with the heating means 18, it may be desirable to mount the unit on a suitable support or stand so that the heated air may be directed as desired against portions of the head for drying hair. In Figs. 9, and 11 a stand is illustrated wherein the suction device may be readily adjustably mounted and firmly positioned.
The stand 110 may comprise a suitable base member 111 provided with an upstanding pedestal 112. The pedestal 112 is provided with a furcated top defining a central slot 113. Furcations 114 are provided with aligned r openings 115 adapted to receive and journably mount a shaft 116. The shaft 116 carries a circular member 118 which depends from an upwardly curved saddle member 119, the curvature of said saddle corresponding generally to the curvature of the motor housing portion 21. The saddle 119 includes an upstanding pin 120 which is adapted to be received within a bore 121 provided in the motor housing portion 21.
Opening onto slot 113 and disposed therebelow is a recess 122. The recess 122 may be defined by vertical end and side walls and an upwardly inclined bottom wall portion 123. A cylindrical element 124 is positioned within recess 122 between the inclined wall portion 123 and the end of an adjusting screw bolt 125 which threadedly engages as at 126 the pedestal 112.
The suction device is thus readily adjustable to desired position on the support 110 by pivoting the device about the shaft 116. The selected position is maintained by tightening the bolt 125 so that the cylindrical element 124 is urged upwardly on the inclined bottom surface portion 123 and against the circular edge of member 118. The wedging action element .124 as controlled by knob 125 affords a convenient means for locking the suction device in selected inclined position on the support 110.
To increase the flow of air to the heating means, one of the auxiliary air discharge ports 102 in step 46 may be closed by positioning a port 102 over the saddle 119 of the stand. A greater amount of air is thus delivered to the heating means 18.
it is important to note that the coaxial arrangement of the various parts of the suction device provides a compact powerful suction means which is of high efiiciency and effectiveness. In addition air flow into, through and out of suction housing and motor housing is substantially longitudinally of the device and moves freely and virtually unobstructed.
It is also important to note that the motor housing provides a convenient hand hold for manual handling of the device and that the hand hold is at virtually the center of balance of the device.
It is understood that changes may be made which come within the spirit of this invention, and all such changes or modifications coming within the scope of the appended claims are embraced thereby.
