Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pick-up heads and gutter brooms on surface cleaning vehicles, and more particularly to pick-up heads and gutter brooms on surface cleaning vehicles.
  • a novel dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus comprising an air suctioning main fan; a pick-up head having a suctioning bottom opening, a debris-laden air egress, and a gutter broom suctioning inlet; a conduit connecting the main fan in air suctioning relation with the pick-up head to thereby provide a vacuum or recirculating type pick-up head; a gutter broom; a gutter broom housing generally surrounding the gutter broom with a debris receiving opening in the gutter broom housing to pen it debris to be engaged by the gutter broom and an air egress to pennit the suctioning of debris-laden air from the gutter broom housing; and a gutter broom connector conduit having an inlet and an outlet.
  • the inlet of the gutter broom connector conduit is connected in air receiving relation to the air egress of the gutter broom housing and the air outlet is connected in air delivery relation to the gutter broom suctioning inlet in the pick-up head. There is a maximum amount of distance between the air egress and the gutter broom suctioning inlet.
  • a novel dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus comprising an air suctioning mam fan; a pick-up head having a first end and a second end, a front face, a suctioning bottom opening, a debris-laden air egress, and a gutter broom suctioning inlet; a conduit connecting the main fan in air suctioning relation with the pick-up head to thereby provide a vacuum or recirculating type pick-up head; a gutter broom; a gutter broom housing generally surrounding the gutter broom with a debris receiving opening in the gutter broom housing to permit debris to be engaged by the gutter broom and an air egress to permit the suctioning of debris-laden air from the gutter broom housing; and a gutter broom connector conduit having an inlet and an outlet.
  • the inlet of the gutter broom connector conduit is connected in air receiving relation to the air egress of the gutter broom housing and the air outlet is connected in air delivery relation to the gutter broom suctioning inlet in the pick-up head.
  • the gutter broom suctioning inlet is disposed adjacent the first end of the pick-up head.
  • a novel dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus comprising an air suctioning main fan; a pick-up head having a first end and a second end, a front face, a suctioning bottom opening, a debris-laden air egress, and a gutter broom suctioning inlet; a conduit connecting the main fan in air suctioning relation with the pick-up head to thereby provide a vacuum or recirculating type pick-up head; a gutter broom; a gutter broom housing generally surrounding the gutter broom with a debris receiving opening in the gutter broom housing to permit debris to be engaged by the gutter broom and an air egress to permit the suctioning of debris-laden air from the gutter broom housing; and a gutter broom connector conduit having an inlet and an outlet.
  • the inlet of the gutter broom connector conduit is connected in air receiving relation to the air egress of the gutter broom housing and the air outlet is connected in air delivery relation to tire gutter broom suctioning inlet in the pick-up head.
  • the gutter broom suctioning inlet is disposed adjacent the front face of the pick-up head.
  • Figure 1 is a top plan view of the first preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a top plan view of the second preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is a top plan view of the third preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a first preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention
  • Figure 2 illustrates a second preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention
  • Figure 3 illustrates a third preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention, as indicated by the general reference numeral 100.
  • the first preferred embodiment dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus 100 comprises an air suctioning main fan 102 mounted on a surface cleaning vehicle 1 4.
  • a pick-up head 110 has a first end 111 and a second end 112, a front face 114, a suctioning bottom opening 116, a debris-laden air egress 118, and a gutter broom suctioning inlet 119.
  • a conduit 106 connects the main fan 102 in air suctioning relation with the pick-up head 110 to thereby provide a vacuum or recirculating type pick-up head 110.
  • a gutter broom 120 is operatively mounted on the surface cleaning vehicle 104 by means of a gutter broom arm 122 for rotation by a hydraulic motor 124.
  • a gutter broom housing 126 generally surrounds the gutter broom 120 with a debris receiving opening 128 in the gutter broom housing 126 to permit debris to be engaged by the gutter broom 120.
  • An air egress 129 permits the suctioning of debris- laden air from the gutter broom housing 126.
  • gutter broom connector conduit 130 that has an inlet 132 and an outlet 134.
  • the inlet 132 of the gutter broom connector conduit 130 is connected in air receiving relation to the air egress 129 of the gutter broom housing 126 and the air outlet is connected in air delivery relation to the gutter broom suctioning inlet 119 in the pick-up head 110.
  • the gutter broom suctioning inlet 119 is disposed adjacent the first end 111 of the pick-up head 110, and is horizontally offset with respect to the air egress 129. In the first preferred embodiment, as illustrated, the gutter broom suctioning inlet 119 is laterally offset with respect to the air egress 129. Preferably, there is also a maximum amount of distance between the debris-laden air egress 118 and the gutter broom suctioning inlet 119.
  • FIG. 2 shows a second preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to tire present invention, as indicated by the general reference numeral 200.
  • the second preferred embodiment dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus 200 is similar to the first preferred embodiment dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus 100 except that the gutter broom suctioning inlet 219 is elongate and is disposed adjacent the front face 214 of the pick-up head 210.
  • FIG. 3 shows a third preferred embodiment of the dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus according to the present invention, as indicated by the general reference numeral 300.
  • the third preferred embodiment dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus 300 is similar to the first preferred embodiment dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus 100 except that the pick-up head 310 does not have separate debris receiving openings at the first end 311 and second end 312. Instead, a front debris receiving opening 314 spanning the width "W" of the pick-up head 310.
  • the gutter broom suctioning inlet 319 and the front debris receiving opening 314 are concurrent one with the other, and are forwardly offset with respect to said air egress 318.
  • the present invention provides a dustless pick-up head and gutter broom apparatus wherein the air suctioned from the gutter broom housing is also used to suction up dust and debris from the surface being cleaned, all of which features are unknown in the prior art.
