Definitions
- the vacuum cleaner has a nozzle extending from a blower housing to a point near the floor to be cleaned, with an air inlet opening near the floor.
- a flap is hinged to a forward edge of the nozzle adjacent the inlet opening and the flap can be moved between a first position in which a substantial portion of the inlet opening is covered and a second position in which the inlet opening is substantially unrestricted.
- a movable vane has a lower edge pivotally connected to the flap and an upper edge extending substantially into said nozzle toward the blower housing.
- the vane in conjunction with the rear wall of the nozzle, restricts the effective area of the nozzle, particularly when the flap is in the first position, to increase the velocity of air flow through the nozzle and thereby improve pick up of small, heavier objects.
- the vane particularly when the flap is in the second position, improves the pick-up of bulky objects by helping to push the objects up the nozzle when the flap is reciprocated and also by helping to crush such objects.
- PATENTED sum 1 or 2 VACUUM CLEANER This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner and more particularly to an industrial or commercial type vacuum cleaner having a nozzle with a movable vane therein to improve the operation of the vacuum cleaner.
- the vacuum cleaner according to the invention is particularly more effective in picking up debris or objects of a small, heavier nature by providing a more effective flow of air through the nozzle.
- the vacuum cleaner also is more effective in picking up bulky objects which otherwise may tend to stick in the nozzle by mechanically pushing the objects up the nozzle and by partially crushing them.
- the improved operation of the vacuum cleaner is achieved by employing a movable vane in the nozzle which tends to increase the velocity of air flowing therethrough. This improves the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner in picking up smaller, heavier objects which otherwise tend to move into the inlet opening but then are not carried further up the nozzle because of reduced velocity of the air.
- the vane also enables the vacuum cleaner to be more efficient in picking up bulky'objects because it tends to crush objects which may otherwise stick in the nozzle and because it pushes the larger objects up the nozzle, as will be more apparent later.
- the movable vane for the vacuum cleaner nozzle is pivotally connected to a flap.
- the flap in turn, is pivotally connected to the nozzle adjacent the inlet opening and can be moved between a first position in which a substantial portion of the inlet opening is covered and a second position in which the inlet opening is substantially unrestricted.
- the flap can be remotely controlled through a lever and linkage arrangement by an operator at the rearwardly-extending handle of the vacuum cleaner.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner having a nozzle with a movable vane therein to increase the velocity of the air through the nozzle.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner with a remotely controlled flap for an inlet of the nozzle and with a movable vane pivotally connected to the flap and extending into the nozzle.
- FIG. 1 is an overall view in perspective of a vacuum cleaner embodying the invention
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view in perspective of a nozzle, flap, and movable vane of the vacuum cleaner of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view in transverse cross section of the nozzle, taken along the line 33 of FIG. 2, and further showing a movable vane therein;
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary, side view in elevation, with parts broken away and with parts in section, of the vacuum cleaner nozzle with the flap in a first position;
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 but with the flap in a second position.
- a vacuum cleaner according to the invention is indicated at 10, and includes a nozzle 12 with a blower or impeller housing 14 at its upper end.
- An internal combustion engine 16 is mounted on the housing 14 and drives an impeller (not shown) located within the housing.
- the vacuum cleaner is supported on large rubbertired wheels 18 through a frame generally'indicated at 20.
- a pair of casters (not shown) are also mounted under the nozzle 12 to support the same a predetermined distance above the ground, the casters can be located below a rear collection bag platform 22.
- a control handle 24 for the vacuum cleaner 10 includes a pair of legs 26 and 28, which are connected to the housing 14, and a cross bar 30.
- a large collection or filtering bag schematically indicated by dotted lines 32 is attached to a rear outlet of the blower housing 14 for receiving air-borne particles or debris from the blower which are pulled upwardly through the nozzle 12.
- the nozzle 12 has a main inlet opening indicated at 34 at the lower end thereof, which opening is defined by a front wall 36, a rear wall 38, and side walls 40 and 42 of the nozzle 12.
- the front and rear walls 36 and 38 of the nozzle 12 are parallel or substantially so, with the side walls 40 and 42 being perpendicular to the planes of these walls.
- the transverse cross-sectional shape of the nozzle 12 is rectangular, as shown in FIG. 3, throughout the length of the nozzle.
- the front and rear walls are each of trapezoidal shape, however, with the side walls 40 and 42 converging toward one another in a direction from the inlet opening 34 toward the blower housing 14.
- the nozzle walls terminate at a lower wall 44 of the blower housing 14 with the nozzle communicating with a large blower inlet 46 in the bottom wall 44.
- Flanges 48 and 50 which extend downwardly and outwardly from the front wall 36 are primarily for ap pearance and the channels formed between the walls 48 and 50 and the corresponding nozzle side walls 40 and 42 are closed off at the front of the nozzle, adjacent the inlet opening 34, by short partitions 52 and 54 (FIG. 2).
- a flap or door 56 is located adjacent the nozzle inlet opening 34.
- the flap is pivotally connected to the nozzle 12 for movement between a first position (FIG. 4) in which a substantial portion of the inlet opening 34 is covered, and specifically about the upper half of the opening, and a second position (FIG. in which the inlet opening 34 is substantially unrestricted.
- the pivotal connection between the flap 56 and the front wall 36 can be achieved through a piano-type hinge 58 having an upper leaf 60 attached to the front nozzle wall 36 by suitable fasteners 62, and a lower leaf 64 attached to the edge of the flap 56 through fasteners 66.
- the flap 56 is preferably remotely controlled for movement between the two positions.
- an L-shaped bracket 68 is affixed, as by a weld, to the flap 56 and a link rod 70 has a lower end pivotally connected to the bracket 68.
- the upper end of the rod 70 is pivotally connected to an L-shaped lever 72 which is pivotally supported on an upper portion of the handle leg 26.
- the lever 72 is manipulated by an operator to move the flap 56 to the first position, of FIG. 4, by moving the lever forwardly, and to move the flap to the second position, of FIG. 5, by moving the lever 72 rearwardly. In the latter instance, the lever 72 is in an overcenter position and holds the flap in the second position without need for the operator to continue to hold the lever.
- a plate-like member or movable vane 74 is pivotally connected to a portion of the flap 56 which is spaced from the hinge 58.
- the vane 74 includes a wide, lower portion 76 to which a narrower upper portion 78 is affixed at an angle, the upper portion terminating in a bead 80. In this instance, an angle of 140, and preferably an angle between 120 and 160, is formed between the two portions.
- the forward edge of the vane 74 is connected to the flap 56 specifically by a piano-type hinge 82.
- the hinge 82 has an upper leaf 84 attached to the lower edge portion of the flap 56 by fasteners 88.
- the hinge 82 further has a lower leaf 86 which is attached to the lower or forward edge of the vane 74 and specifically the wide portion 76 thereof by fasteners 90.
- the hinges 58 and 82 are parallel and are positioned transversely to the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner.
- the wide portion 76 of the vane 74 is of a sufficient width to extend across the inlet opening 34 and to extend between lower end portions of the flanges 48 and 50 to substantially close off the width of the nozzle 12 when the flap 56 is in its closed position.
- a narrow gap indicated at 92 in FIG. 4 exists between the vane 74 and the lower edge of the rear wall 38 so that a narrow inlet opening still remains even when the flap 56 is in the first position and the vane 74 is in the lower position, indicated in solid lines in FIG. 4.
- the upper edge or head 80 of the narrow portion 78 rests on the rear wall 38 when no air is flowing through the nozzle.
- the narrow portion 78 is substantially of the same shape as the rear wall 38 although somewhat smaller.
- the portion 78 substantially covers the rear wall 38 when the vane is in the solid line position of FIG. 4.
- the vane 74 will move upwardly toward the dotted line position indicated at 96 in FIG. 4, depending upon the magnitude of the air flow into the nozzle 12.
- the vane 74 will drop or pivot downwardly in the nozzle 12 so as to reduce the effective cross-sectional area of the nozzle 12 and thereby maintain the same velocity of the air through the nozzle as when the bag 32 was new or cleaned. Hence, the effectiveness of the vacuum pickup is maintained even though the bag becomes clogged and volume decreases. Further, the vane at all times, when the flap 56 is in the first position of FIG. 4, decreases the effective cross-sectional area of the nozzle 12, as viewed in FIG.
- the flap 56 moves substantially to a horizontal position, as shown in FIG. 5, at which time the inlet opening 34 is substantially unrestricted.
- the vane 74 With the flap in this position, and with no air being drawn through the nozzle 12, the vane 74 is located as shown in solid lines with the bead edge resting on the rear wall 38 of the nozzle 12.
- the vane 74 can move upwardly toward a position indicated by dotted lines 98 in which instance the nozzle can accommodate objects substantially as large as if the vane were not used at all. In this position, as in FIG. 4, the velocity of the air through the nozzle can be kept more uniform even when the air flow rate drops off due to the condition of the collection bag 32.
- the vane can actually help push large objects up the nozzle and also to help crush some objects, such as paper cups, if they are too large.
- the objects can be pushed upwardly in the nozzle by the operator moving the lever 72 to move the flap 56 toward the first position, at which time the vane 74 and specifically the upper portion 78 thereof is moved upwardly in the nozzle. Objects then located between the vane portion 78 and the rear wall 38 of the nozzle will be pushed upwardly along the back wall due to the movement of the vane portion 78.
- the lever 72 back again to move the flap 56 toward the second position of FIG.
- the air being drawn through the nozzle will prevent the object pushed upwardly by the vane portion 78 from being dragged downwardly to its original position. Consequently, the operator, by oscillating the lever 72, can push the larger objects up the nozzle 78 by a combination of the reciprocatory motion of the vane 74 and the movement of the air through the nozzle.
- the movable vane 74 embodied in the vacuum cleaner provides a number of advantages.
- the vane tends to maintain a higher velocity of air through the nozzle than would otherwise exist. This enables the vacuum cleaner to pick up small, heavier objects and to move them completely through the vacuum cleaner to the bag 32. With the vane in the position of FIG. 5, it can be reciprocated to move larger objects up the nozzle and the weight of the vane also helps to crush larger objects which might otherwise be stuck in a fixed position.
- a vacuum cleaner comprising a nozzle having an inlet opening at one end, means for establishing flow of fluid through said inlet opening and into the nozzle, a flap movably mounted adjacent said inlet opening, means for moving said flap between one position in which a substantial portion of the inlet opening is closed off and another position in which the inlet opening is substantially unrestricted, and a vane having an end movably connected to said flap and another end spaced from said flap and positioned in said nozzle beyond said inlet opening, said another end of said vane being urged under the influence of gravity toward a position to block said nozzle and to reduce the transverse cross-sectional area of said nozzle thereby tending to increase the velocity of fluid flowing therethrough.
