Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electrically powered floor cleaning apparatus of the type provided with a rotatable plate or disc to which can be attached a circular brush or cleaning or polishing pad or mop.
  • Such apparatus requiring the use of two or more electric motors, one of which is the vacuum motor, is noisy in operation.
  • Floor cleaning is more and more being carried out in buildings during periods in which the building is occupied, e.g. in hospitals, offices, etc. and noisy machines can not be tolerated.
  • a floor cleaning apparatus having a main casing, a disc or plate mounted for rotation within the casing and to which a circular brush, pad or mop can be attached, a skirt surrounding the periphery of the disc or plate, a fan or impeller unit for providing suction with the area bounded by the skirt and electrically driven means for driving the disc or plate and the impeller unit, characterised in that the fan or impeller unit is located within the casing and has a conduit which extends to a filtered receptacle and the electrically driven means for driving the disc or plate and the impeller unit comprises an electric motor mounted on the casing with its drive shaft extending within the casing, a first drive transmission drivingly connecting the drive shaft to the disc or plate and a second drive transmission drivingly connecting the drive shaft to the fan or impeller unit.
  • first and second drive transmissions each comprise a belt and pulley drive transmission.
  • the floor cleaning apparatus comprises a main casing 10 on which are mounted wheel 11 for use in moving the apparatus from one point of use to another or to storage.
  • Hinged to the rear of the casing 10 by a hinge connection 12 is a handle 13 provided at its upper end with a control box 14 and hand grips 15.
  • a cowling 16 Secured to the main casing 10 is a cowling 16 to which is detachably fixed a circular skirt 17 which in use of the apparatus extends to the floor and surrounds the periphery of a rotatable circular brush, pad or mop (not shown).
  • the bottom edge of the skirt 17 is provided with a slot or slots 18 to allow air to flow into the area surrounded by the skirt 17.
  • an electric motor 19 having an output shaft 20 which extends through the main casing 10 as shown in Figure 2.
  • a drive disc or plate 22 which the circular brush, pad or mop is detachably secured.
  • a pulley 23 Secured to the shaft 20 is a pulley 23 which is drivingly connected by a belt 24 to a tubular part 25 of the disc or plate 22.
  • impeller unit 27 mounted within the main casing 10 through support legs 26 .
  • the impeller unit 27 comprises a mounting plate 28 to which is secured a scroll casing 29 having an air inlet 30 and an air outlet 31.
  • Mounted for rotation in bearings 32 is an impeller shaft 33 on which is secured an impeller 34.
  • the upper end of the shaft 33 is provided with a pulley 35 which is drivingly engaged with a second pulley 36 provided on the shaft 20 by means of a belt 37.
  • the outlet 31 is connected via a conduit 38 to a filtered receptacle 39 carried by the handle 13.
  • the skirt 17 prevents dust and/or debris being thrown into the surrounding area and atmosphere by the brush, pad or mop and as the area contained within the skirt 17 and casing 10 is subjected to suction by the impeller unit 27 any dust and/or debris is conveyed to the filtered receptacle 39. If the apparatus is used on a wet floor any water sucked up by the impeller unit 27 is conveyed to the receptacle 39 and can not come into contact with the motor 19. As only a single motor 19 is used to drive the disc 22 and the impeller unit 27 the operation of the machine is quiet compared with apparatus having two motors.
  • the drive transmissions to the disc 22 and impeller unit 27 may comprise a gear transmission or a chain and sprocket transmission, or other alternative transmission.
  • One or both drive transmissions to the disc 22 and the impeller unit 27 may include a jockey or tensioning pulley or sprocket.
