Definitions

  • the invention relates'to a cleaning appliance which consists of brushes and suction 'apertures adjacent the said brushes and connected to a suction device, ⁇ especially a vacuum cleaner.
  • the suction apertures arranged youtside the clusters of bristles are distributed in sub- :stantially radially symmetrical formation, that is to say, v,the suction apertures are uniformly distributed over the entire outer periphery ofthe'vacuum cleaner brush.
  • the bristles are appropriately cut.
  • lt is advantageous to arrange not only the rows of clusters of bristles, but also the individual -bristles within each cluster so close together that substantially no air can be sucked through .thebrush when it has been applied to the surface to be cleaned.
  • suction slots are situated both in front of and behind the rows of'bristles.
  • suction slots in such appliances must only be provided on the'forward side of the row of bundles of bristles.
  • the forward side in the case of elongated vacuum cleaner brushes and in the case of rectangular suction polishers.
  • vacuum cleaner brushes or suctionpolishers having a'triangular or polygonal form in which the connection ofthe suction polisher and consequently the preferred direction of movement are so chosen that a point of the triangle or of the polygon is forwardly directed in the direction of movement, the two lforward sides of the triangle or polygon, extending from the point, must be regarded as the forward side of the clusters of bristles. Accordingly,
  • the suction apertures are provided on these edges in front of theforwardmost rows of clusters.
  • Vacuum cleaner brushes are known, in which asuction aperture is situated in front of the row of clusters of bristles, but in these known arrangements the clusters of bristles scarcely project beyond the bearing mouth of the vacuum cleaner nozzle. Consequently, the vacuum cleaner brush constructed in this manner has almost exactly the same disadvantage as a normal vacuum cleaner nozzle without any brush.
  • This disadvantage resides in that, as the vacuum cleaner nozzle ⁇ is moved 'to and Vfro over the surface to be cleaned, the dirt or dust is pushed forward by the raised edge of the nozzle and thus to some extent whirled up before they can reach the suction cur rent produced by the nozzle, and they cannot in any case be immediately pulled into the vacuum cleaner.
  • a further part of the dirt or dust is pressed by the edge of the nozzle on to the door before it passes below the nozzle and consequently into the region of the current of suction air. If these parts of the dirt or dust have a slightly adhesive action, they adhere to the surface to be cleaned under the pressure, so that their removal is rendered difficult if not impossible.
  • currying pins and currycombs or rubber pads may be employed, that is to say, the appliances may be adapted for cleaning animals, in which case they afford the same or similar advantages to those already described in detail with reference to vacuum cleaner brushes, clothes brushes and suction polishers.
  • Figure l is partly a side elevation and partly a crosssectional view of a suction polisher
  • Figure 2 is an underneath view of the suction polisher as seen in the direction of the arrow A;
  • FIG 3 is an underneath view of a suction polisher, similar to the constructional form shown in Figures 1 and 2, with the sole difference that the suction polisher is of substantially triangular outline.
  • a suction polisher body 1 which may be cast from metal or iron, or may be pressed from another suitable material, more particularly plastic.
  • the suction polisher body has at its center a suction aperture 2.
  • Formed around the suction aperture 2 in the suction polisher body 1 is a step into which an annular elastic underlayer consisting of rubber foam or a portion of rubber hose'is fitted.
  • Mounted on the said underlayer is a plate 14 of the joint 21 of the suction handle attaching means 22 one longitudinal edge of the plate 14 being forced under the two projections 23, while the snap catch 24 is withdrawn.
  • the snap catch 24 is released and then engages over the edge of the nozzle plate 14 and presses it firmly on to the elastic underlayer.
  • Extending from the suction aperture 2 in one direction is a suction duct 3, which leads into a number of suction apertures 4, in the neighbourhood of the periphery of the body of the suction polisher.
  • the form of the suction duct 3 may vary. In one form, it is constructed as a single duct extending from the suction aperture 2 and widening considerably in the direction of the four suction apertures 4 and 5. In another constructional form, the suction duct divides after having extended from the suction aperture 2, into two branch ducts leading to the individual suction apertures 4 and 5.
  • the body of the suction polisher comprises individual F cavities 7, 8 opening in the downward direction.
  • the bristle carrier 11 consists of an elastic material, more especially rubber, and has the form of a plate comprising an outer cylindrical ange 12 terminating at the top on one side in a beaded edge 13.
  • the cylindrical flange 12 extends around the side portions of the body of the suction polisher, while the beaded edge 13 engages in a recess in the upper edge of the said body.
  • the handle attaching means 25 is so swivelably mounted on a joint 26 on the upper side of the suction polisher that the polisher normally moves over the floor in the direction of the arrow E. Accordingly, the intake apertures 27 are provided on the two forward edges 28, 29 abutting at an angle.
  • a vacuum cleaner attachment for mounting on the end of a tubular handle operating also as a suction connection, comprising a brush body of substantial dimension in the direction of the forward and backward movement of the attachment in operation, a hollow swinging joint positioned at approximately the center of said body, a hollow handle attaching means mounted on said swinging joint, said joint being constructed and arranged whereby said handle attaching means may swing about a horizontal axis at right angles to said direction of movement, said joint securing said body to said handle attaching means, a narrow aperture in the bottom surface of said body along only one ofthe edges of said body lying generally at right angles to said direction of movement, a main suction passage through said body from said narrow aperture to said hollow swinging joint, the lower surface of said body being provided with closely arranged tufts of bristles covering its entire lower surface, the tufts of bristles at the central portion o-f said body extending generally vertically and the bristle tufts at the outer edges of said body being slanted progressively outward toward the edge of
