Definitions

  • a tool storage rack for cleaning tools utilizable with a suction hose for a vacuum cleaner is provided which is attached to the cleaner end of the suction hose so as to make the tools readily available to the user when needed.
  • the tool storage rack includes sockets for the easy mounting and dismounting of the tools and a hook means for use in hanging the tool holder with attached suction hose and tools on the wall of a closet or the like when they are not in use.
  • This invention relates, generally, to floor care appliances and, more specifically, relates to tool storage racks for mounting cleaning tools utilizable with a vacuum cleaner.
  • tool supports are designed specifically for mounting only on one type of vacuum cleaner such as a canister type. Obviously, then, when this type is utilized on the canister cleaner, tools are readily available for use on the end of the suction hose at all times.
  • this type of tool rack is not easily adaptable to, say, a conventional, convertible cleaner since this cleaner generally takes an upright form with some means for providing conversion to hose operation.
  • tool supports utilizable with and mounted on an upright cleaner might be adaptable for support of the tools utilized with a convertible cleaner, these tools are only needed after conversion.
  • tool support arrangement would be superfluous at all times save during the hose conversion mode of the suction cleaner so that provision should be made for the rapid dismounting thereof during floor cleaning and the rapid remounting thereof during hose conversion.
  • hose and tool support would be mounted as a unit for ease in conversion, it would be advantageous to utilize the tool support as a suspension means for the hose while the same was to be placed in an out-of-the-way storage location.
  • a tool storage rack for the receptive mounting of tools such as, e.g., a crevice nozzle and an upholstery brush is provided.
  • This tool storage rack is made from plastic so as to be easily molded and is in a somewhat flattened condition, as molded, prior to easy folding encirclement around a conventional hose coupling end of a tool suction hose.
  • the tool storage rack When folded, the tool storage rack provides a slightly tapering bore within which is disposed the hose coupling.
  • a tool holding section formed by two mating, generally rectangular tubular portions. Each tubular portion has a pair of mating irregular passageways, within which are inserted the cleaning tools when attached to the tool storage rack.
  • a V-shaped groove formed with the apex of the V- shaped groove oriented axially relative to the elongated length of the suction hose, is included as an integral element of the tool storage rack.
  • This V-shaped groove conveniently serves as a hook to suspend the tool storage rack and attached suction hose when the same are in an inactive, storage position.

  • FIGS. 1 to 6 of the drawings it can be seen that a tool storage rack 10 is mounted and envelopes a tapered portion 12 of a generally tubular hose fitting 14.
  • the tubular hose fitting is, in turn, conventionally connected to one end of a tool suction hose 16, by any standard means (not shown), the other end of the tool suction hose (also not shown) providing for mounting of conventional cleaning tools such as a crevice tool 18, dusting brush and an upholstery brush 22.
  • a convertible cleaner 24, shown only fragmentarily as a portion of a housing 26 of the convertible cleaner 24 includes a port 27 that provides sealing connection between hose fitting 14 and the interior of the cleaner 24.
  • Male bayonet members 28, 28 on coupling fitting 14 insure positive engagement of the hose fitting 14 so that sufficient suction is available at the remote end (not shown) of the hose 16, to effectively use the cleaning tools for cleaning purposes.
  • Conversion of the convertible cleaner 24 from carpet suction to tool suction is occasioned by manual movement of a dial 30 between these modes as indicated by an indices means 32 provided by stamping or printing on the outer face of housing 26.
  • This dial in movement, actuates a valve (not shown) which directs the suction air stream either through the port 27 or a suction nozzle (not shown) used for carpet suction.
  • the tool storage rack 10 in an as molded, prefolded condition is illustrated in FIGS. 11 l3 and includes a pair of substantially mirror image portions 34, 36 which, with a connecting portion 38, go to make up the closed configuration of tool storage rack 10.
  • Each of the mirror image portions 34, 36 can be considered comprising an integral tool supporting portion and a hose fitting conforming portion extending laterally therefrom.
  • Mirror image portion 34 includes tool supporting portion 42 and hose fitting conforming portion 44.
  • Mirror image portion 36 includes tool supporting portion 46 and hose fitting conforming portion 48.
  • tool storage rack 10 mounts its clean-ing tools 18, 20 and 22 in the joined tool supporting portions 42 and 46, while the hose fitting conforming portions 44 and 48, along with connection portion 38 envelope hose fitting 14 to maintain tool storage rack 10 in assembledrelation with suction hose 16.
  • Each of the tool supporting portions 42, 46 includes an outer face 50 having a generally round aperture 52 and a partially hour-glass shaped aperture 54 disposed therein.
  • Each of these faces is formed from a thin, outer walled section 56 that is integrally joined to a closed looping (in cross section) transversely, vertically extending wall portion 58 that terminates at its bottom in a rim 60.
  • This rim provides an abutting means for the other contiguous rim 60 on the other respective tool supporting portion when the same is in an assembled relation.
  • Strengthening ribs e.g., 62, 64, 66, provided within the closed loop of transversely and vertically extending wall portion 58, are integrally connected to it to extend for its full vertical depth to be integrally connected to thin walled section 56. These strengthening ribs extend vertically a sufficient distance so as to terminate at the same plane as rim 60 and are located, shaped and dimensioned so as to provide no interference with the full insertion of the tools 18, 20 and 22 into the tool storage rack 10.
  • Each of the tabs 68, 70 and 72 includes a cam portion 80 and a locking portion 82, with the termination of the cam portion 80, contiguous to the locking portion 82, being more outwardly disposed than the locking portion 82.
  • the camming portions on the tabs are angled to provide a wedging engagement with the locking ears and a lead-in angle for easy initial inserting engagement with the locking ears.
  • a snap'over action occurs when the locking portion 82 of each tab comes into engagement with its respective locking ear to securely maintain tool storage rack 10 in assembled condition.
  • a pair of small ribs 84, 84 extend slightly outwardly of the tool supporting portion 42 beyond the rim 60. These ribs engage against inner corners of the wall portions 58, on tool supporting portion 46, upon initial folding of these two portions together, to thereby align them for final assembly. It should now be clear that the two tool supporting portions 42, 46, interfit by means of their locking tabs and ears to maintain the folded assembly of connecting portion 38 and hose fitting conforming portions 44 and 48 together to form a tubular envelope around hose fitting 14.
  • Hose fitting 14 is maintained in this envelope in the following manner.
  • the connecting portion 38 and hose fitting conforming portions 44 and 48 form a circular configuration when the tool storage rack 10 is in closed condition.
  • a radially inwardly extending, circular flange 86 is formed by these three elements when in closed configuration that extends substantially uninterruptedly around their closed configuration (save for the area of the living hinges). This flange is that part of these three elements which limits axial movement of hose fitting 14 axially outwardly of the formed cylindrical envelope towards tab 70 and ear 74.
  • Hose 16 then, would extend axially outwardly beyond hose fitting 14, past tab 70 and ear 74.
  • the connecting portion 38 and hose conforming portions 44 and 48 lie closely adjacent to the slightly tapering section of hose fitting 5 in aligned relationship on hose fitting conforming porl5 tions 44 and 48, respectively, and spaced on their inner circumferences at locations that place them in diametrically opposed relation (e.g., see FIG. 10) when the tool storage rack 10 has been lockingly assembled so that the locking tabs 68, 70 and 72 lockingly engage with locking ears 74, 76 and 78.
  • hose fitting 14 includes,a pairof diametrically opposed bores 92, 94 of-strbstantially the sgme diameter as the'buttons 88, 90. llesabor'esfiif course,
  • Strengthening of the tool storage rack 10 is accomplished by a pair of integrally formed, offset portions 96, 96 of tool storage rack 10 that are positioned axially inwardly of the flange 86.
  • the offset portions 96, 96 are somewhat triangular in end view to furnish a substantially deep cross-sectional area and thereby a pair of effective strengthening ribs 98, 100 for bracing and rigidifying purposes of the tool storage rack 10.
  • the tool storage rack 10 is placed in an upwardly open position such as shown in FIG. 13, and the hose fitting 14 laid therein, with the terminating end of the hose fitting 14 adjacent the suction hose 16 in abutting relation with flange 86.
  • the bores 92, 94 in the hose fitting 14 are aligned with the projecting buttons 88, 90 of the tool storage rack 10 and the portions of this tool rack extending transversely outwardly from beneath hose fitting 14 folded around the hose fitting.
  • the tools 18, 20 and 22 may be loaded in storage rack 10 to make a convenient package of the tool hose 16, hose fitting 14, tool storage rack 10 and tools 18, 20 and 22.
  • she merely goes to a convenient storage location and gets the combined suction hose, tool rack and tools, carrys this assemblage to the convertible cleaner, inserts the bayonet end of the hose fitting in the cleaner and moves the conversion valve of the cleaner to tool suction.
  • the cleaner is then fully in the tool suction mode and the tools, moreover, are conveniently lo- LII cated at the suction hose end adjacent the cleaner 24.
  • connecting portions 38 include an integrally, generally U-shaped section 104 (viewed in end elevation, FIG. 9) that opens downwardly and has its axially inner end closed by a part of flange 86 on connecting portion 38.
  • the bight 106 of the U is then disposed uppermost and extends generally parallel relative to the axis of the suction hose. It includes a V-shaped groove 108 opening towards the major extent of the suction hose 16, with this groove serving as the means of engagement with a wall mounted hook 110 or the like (FIGS. 14 and 15) that conveniently suspends the assembly in an out-of-the-way storage position.
  • the just-mentioned position of storage rack 10 also permits the storing retention of one or two conventional wands 111 utilizable on the end of suction ose 16.
  • the extending ends of tool supporting portions 42 and 46 each include an axially extending tab section 112 (e.g., FIGS. 11 and 13) formed beyond the storage area for dusting brush 20 and upholstery brush 22.
  • Each tab section includes a thinned portion 114 formed by inwardly offsetting of the outer, upper and lower side surfaces of the tab section 112.
  • a rim or lip 116 is thereby formed between the outer axial termination of each tab section 112 and the outer axial termination of each thinned portion 114.
