Handle System For Vacuum Cleaner

View page
US Patent:
55517315, Sep 3, 1996
Filed:
Oct 12, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/321511
Inventors:
Steven L. Gray - Johnson City TN
Peter Hoekstra - Bristol TN
Michael F. Martin - Bristol TN
George C. Moyher - Bluff City TN
Assignee:
Electrolux Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
A47L 932
US Classification:
285 7
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, a handle and wand system for a vacuum cleaner is provided which includes an enclosed electrical system which may be used to provide electrical power to a powered floor nozzle or other powered nozzles. The handle and wand system of the present invention may be employed in either a canister vacuum or a central vacuum unit. In one embodiment, the system includes a handle and suction hose assembly which permits the hose, which includes conducting wires, to be freely rotated while attached to the handle. In another embodiment, means are provided for easily attaching, locking and detaching the components of the handle and wand system of the present invention while providing both a vacuum seal and a plurality of low resistance electrical contacts between the elements of the system of the present invention. In a further embodiment, a swivel elbow is provided to attach the handle and wand system of the present invention to a powered floor nozzle. In another embodiment, an interface is provided easily for attaching, locking and detaching the handle and wand system of the present invention to and from non-powered cleaning tools.

Electronic Vacuum Cleaner Control System

US Patent:
55421466, Aug 6, 1996
Filed:
May 31, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/455983
Inventors:
Peter Hoekstra - Bristol TN
Timothy W. Jackson - Bristol VA
George C. Moyher - Bluff City TN
Odero Conci - Pascoe Vale, AU
Assignee:
Electrolux Corporation - Marietta GA
Newtronics Pty, Ltd. - North Melbourne
International Classification:
A47L 928
US Classification:
15319
Abstract:
An electronic control system for a vacuum cleaner is provided that supports two-way communications between a microcontroller in the handle of the vacuum cleaner and a suction motor and various sensors in the canister of the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner may be placed in one of two user-selectable bag change modes. In a maximum suction bag change mode, the electronic control system of vacuum cleaner will shut off the vacuum cleaner when the vacuum cleaner bag has filled and the suction power of the unit has been degraded as a result. If the maximum fill bag change mode is selected, the electronic control system will shut off the vacuum cleaner only after the bag has filled to the maximum extent allowable. The control system has indicator lights to display to the user whether the maximum suction or the maximum fill mode has been selected. The control system also has an optical dust sensor based on one-piece lens units located in the vacuum cleaner handle for monitoring the frequency with which dust particles flow into the vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum Cleaner

View page
US Patent:
56385730, Jun 17, 1997
Filed:
May 30, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/453077
Inventors:
Michael F. Martin - Bristol TN
William D. Starr - Bristol VA
Peter Hoekstra - Bristol TN
Assignee:
Electrolux Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
A47L 536
US Classification:
153272
Abstract:
A canister-type vacuum cleaner is provided in which various electrical functions of the vacuum cleaner may be controlled by the user with controls on the hose handle, whether the hose is attached to the suction port or the blowport. The primary exhaust port is located substantially toward the front of the vacuum cleaner body. During normal operation, air is directed from the hose through the suction port and the motor, toward the back of the vacuum cleaner, and then redirected to the front of the vacuum cleaner, where it exits from the primary exhaust port. The vacuum cleaner is also provided with a reduced wheelbase, for greater maneuverability. Two wheels are mounted on the underside of the vacuum cleaner body, near the vacuum cleaner's center of gravity, and a caster is mounted near the front of the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner can therefore be rotated about an axis passing adjacent the cleaner's center of gravity and perpendicular to the surface being cleaned, as well as an axis passing between the two wheels. Additional casters may be mounted on the underside and toward the back of the vacuum cleaner body, for additional stability.
