Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for collecting residues and dust.
  • Pick-up devices are known, such as household vacuum cleaners, the use of which requires the use of disposable paper bags intended to contain the residues and dust sucked, generally constituted by a movable assembly on casters comprising a motor driving a turbine d suction and a suction head connected by a flexible hose to said assembly.
  • Document DE-U-19.59.657 describes a cleaning brush, in particular for clothes, with a suction opening provided inside a frame or an annular zone delimited by the bristles.
  • the invention aims to facilitate the collection of residues and dust in all places, even cramped, by means of a new light device, simple design and economical manufacturing.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for collecting residues and dust of the type comprising an elongated body carrying a set of bristles, said body being hollow so as to constitute inside its enclosure for receiving residues and dust, characterized and in that the body has, at a longitudinal end, outside the set of bristles, an opening for suction or for collecting dust or residues.
  • a device 1 according to the invention comprises a body 2 of elongated shape carrying a set of bristles 3 preferably arranged in several rows at its lower end.
  • the body 2 is hollow so as to constitute inside its enclosure 4 for receiving residues and dust entering through an opening 5 located at a longitudinal end of the body 2 and extending transversely over the width of said end of the body.
  • the opening 5 has a mouth 6 making an angle with the lower plane of the body 2 on which the bristles 3 are implanted.
  • the opening 5 is extended upwards by a vertical conduit 7 which narrows substantially in the height direction and in turn opens into an end 8a of a substantially horizontal channel 8 occupying substantially half the width of the body 2 .
  • the horizontal channel 8 has at its other end 8b an end partition 9 inclined in the downward direction to open out through an opening 10 in the receiving enclosure 4.
  • the receiving enclosure 4 extends substantially over the entire length and entire width of the body 2, so as to offer a maximum receiving volume.
  • the electric motor 12 driving the turbine 11 and the batteries 13 are preferably housed in a part 14 extending perpendicular to the body 2, said part being capable of receiving a grip handle 15 of a type known per se in a sleeve 16 for fixing .
  • a switch, not shown, for controlling the power supply to the electric motor 12 can be located on the handle, so as to allow the enclosure 4 to be placed under vacuum without bending down or without raising the device vertically.
  • the receiving enclosure 4 is provided with a drain hatch 17 advantageously situated at the end of the body 2 opposite the end comprising the opening 5.
  • the drain flap 17 is adjacent to a filtration means 18 allowing the passage of air, but retaining the dust so that the dust does not pass through the turbine 11 to exit through the air exhaust openings 14a provided on the part 14 perpendicular to the body 2.
  • the filter 18 is subject to the drain flap 17 so that the opening of the flap 17 allows the replacement of the filter 18 which switches with the flap 17 around a hinge 19 when opening hatch 17.
  • the drain flap 17 is located in this example in the upper part of the body 2 opposite the bristles 3: the invention also covers the case of a drain flap fitted at the end into the end of the body 2 so as to allow washing and inspection of enclosure 4 over the entire cross section of this enclosure 4.
  • an electrical contact with gravity actuation ensures the power supply and the starting of the electric motor 12, when the body 2 of the device is tilted in the direction approaching the mouth 6 of the ground or the surface analogous to cleaning.
  • This gravitational electrical contact is for example constituted by a ball 20, which establishes a short circuit between two segments 21, 22 of a switch 23 or similar closing contact.
  • the device 31 is used as an ordinary broom carrying bristles 3 so as to form a small pile A of dust and residues.
  • the device 31 is shown in the suction position of a small pile B of dust and residue: the suction results from the fact that the electric motor 12 powered by electric batteries 13 by means of the electrical gravity contact 20 drives the suction turbine 11.
  • the device 32 is shown in the emptying position of the enclosure 4 in a receptacle C, owing to the fact that the emptying hatch 17 is open and advantageously snapped into the open position by snap-in conformations known per se.
  • the collection of dust and residues is carried out after sweeping by means of a single device allowing emptying and cleaning immediately after use.
  • the dust drive means may advantageously be replaced by an electric brush rotatably mounted about a substantially horizontal axis and transverse to the body of the device and this in the immediate vicinity of the dust and residue collection opening.
