Pivoting Handle And Control Arrangement For A Floor Care Appliance

View page
US Patent:
6768073, Jul 27, 2004
Filed:
Jul 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/613406
Inventors:
Aaron P. Tondra - North Canton OH
Mark J. Josef - Mogadore OH
Jackson W. Wegelin - Akron OH
Assignee:
The Hoover Company - North Canton OH
International Classification:
H01H 906
US Classification:
2003322, 200331
Abstract:
A pivoting handle and control arrangement is provided for a floor care appliance such as a vacuum cleaner. An actuator rod in the handle is utilized for remotely triggering a switch located in the lower part of the housing. The switch could be utilized for controlling a feature of the floor care appliance such as a surge control for a vacuum cleaners suction motor. A trigger positioned on the handle is operatively connected to an actuator rod traversing the interior of the handle. The distal end of the actuator rod is in operative engagement with the switch when the handle is in the upright position. When the trigger is depressed, the actuator rod depresses the switch causing it to close. The feature controlled is thereby energized. When the handle is moved to the folded position, the actuator rod is folded with the handle and moved away from the switch.

International Classification:
A47L 11/30
US Classification:
15319, 15320, 222624
Abstract:
A cleaner for cleaning a surface comprises a floor-engaging portion for moving along the surface. A source supplies a liquid to a distributor, which distributes the liquid from the source on the surface wherein an activating device is operatively connected to the source to activate the source to supply liquid to the distributor to distribute liquid on the surface in response to a force moving the floor engaging portion in a first direction.

Suction Nozzle Height Adjustment And Control Arrangement

View page
US Patent:
7203993, Apr 17, 2007
Filed:
Dec 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/746057
Inventors:
Aaron P. Tondra - North Canton OH, US
Evan A. Gordon - Canton OH, US
Assignee:
The Hoover Company - North Canton OH
International Classification:
A47L 5/34
US Classification:
15362, 15354
Abstract:
A floor care appliance is provided with a microprocessor based control arrangement. The microprocessor adjust the height of the suction nozzle through a motorized suction nozzle height gear and cam arrangement. The microprocessor is programmed to turn the current off to either of the motor-fan assembly or the agitator drive motor when the current consumed by either exceeds a predetermined amount based upon the nozzle height. The height of the suction nozzle is selected by one or more switches located on the appliance handle. A separate switch is provided to select bare floor mode and the microprocessor is programmed to store the height of the suction nozzle prior to bare floor mode being selected. By pressing a the bare floor mode button again or the use of a sensor the suction nozzle is returned to the stored position when the suction nozzle is returned to the carpeted surface.

Power Management System For A Floor Care Appliance

View page
US Patent:
7208892, Apr 24, 2007
Filed:
May 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/444828
Inventors:
Aaron P. Tondra - North Canton OH, US
Evan A. Gordon - Canton OH, US
Adam C. Sclafani - North Canton OH, US
Assignee:
The Hoover Company - North Canton OH
International Classification:
H02P 5/00
H02P 1/54
A47L 5/00
US Classification:
318 53, 318 34, 318 46, 15319, 15339, 15412, 701 23, 701 25, 701 26
Abstract:
A floor care appliance is provided with an improved power management system for controlling the total amount of current provided to at least a first and a second load device of an appliance. The power management system is comprised of a microprocessor, an alternating current voltage source, a voltage regulating circuit, a clamping circuit, at least two load devices, and a MOC and a triac for each of the at least two load devices. The clamping circuit outputs a fixed voltage of 5. 7 volts during the positive portion of the ac cycle and a fixed voltage of −0. 7 volts during the negative portion of the ac cycle. The fixed voltages are input to a microprocessor which utilizes these inputs to control the average voltage and the amount of time the current is turned on to each of the at least first and second load devices. A current sensing circuit is used to monitor the current to one of the at least two load devices to provide feedback to the microprocessor so that the microprocessor can adjust the average voltage and current to the at least two load devices so that the total current consumed does not exceed a pre-determined level.

View page
US Patent:
7220930, May 22, 2007
Filed:
Jan 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/352822
Inventors:
Evan A. Gordon - Canton OH, US
Aaron P. Tondra - North Canton OH, US
Assignee:
The Hoover Company - North Canton OH
International Classification:
H01H 9/00
US Classification:
200311, 200313, 15339, 362 30, 341 22
Abstract:
A floor care appliance such as a vacuum cleaner is provided having a display panel having at least one indicator light for indicating a status of a feature of the appliance wherein the indicator light is lighted by electro luminescent lighting. The electro luminescent lighting is also used on a control panel for a floor care appliance to backlight one or more switches used to control a feature or mode of the appliance wherein the backlighting indicates a status of the feature or mode associated with a particular switch. The switches and electro luminescent backlighting are embedded between layers of a thin film allowing the display and control panels to be mounted on a curved surface such as the handle of the floor care appliance.
