Definitions

  • the present invention relates to vacuum cleaners or similar devices employed for cleaning or air-conditioning. More particularly it relates to a device adapted to be used in connection with a vacuum-cleaner or other air-flow producing means, the object of the device being to treat the air by introducing thereinto a disinfectant or other air-conditioning gas.
  • the invention relates to a container or receptacle for containing vaporizable crystals, the receptacle being adapted to be secured to the outlet of a vacuum cleaner whereby the air passing through. the receptacle agitates the crystals therein and causes the vaporization.
  • One of the objects of the invention is to pron vide a device of this nature which is simple in construction and eflicient in operation.
  • Fig. l is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a still further embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 4 is a view of still another embodiment of the invention.
  • reference character l designates the casing of a vacuum cleaner unit which is supported in a horizontal position on a horizontal surface by means of runners l I.
  • Casing I0 is provided with an inlet opening l2 which" admits air into the interior of a dust bag I! which is secured within-the casing.
  • motor I4 mounted within the casing i0 is a motor I4 driving a fan I5 which serves to create a current casing is provided with an outlet opening it through which this current. of air is exhausted.
  • Outlet opening I8 is preferably provided with screw threads l1,
  • conduit 2! formed as'a right-angled bend.
  • is provided with screw threads which are adapted to engage threads I! formed in'outlet opening Ii.
  • communicates with a chamber 22 within receptacle 20.

  • Rei'erence character 20 designates generally a by a. conical wall'23, while the upper part of the PATENT OFFICE chamber is bounded by a cylindrical wall 24. Secured within receptacle 20 at the point where conduit 2
  • chamber 20 is closed by means of a cover member 26 which may be removably secured to the cylindrical wall 24 in any suitable manner such as by screw threads or by a close fit or by the bayonet joint shown at 40 in Figs. 2
  • a perforated plate or Chamber 22 is thusibounded at its upper and lower ends by means of screens or perforated plates, This chamber .is adapted to receive vaporizable crystals such as crystals of paradichlorobenzol or paradibromobenzol, which may be placed in the chamber by removing cover26.
  • Cover 26 is provided with an outlet opening 28 to which may be secured a hose or other conduit .20
  • the receptacle 20 When it is desired to treatthe air discharged from the vacuum cleaner, the receptacle 20 is secured to the outlet of the cleaner unit by screwing conduit 2
  • the threads are 30 so arranged that receptacle .20 extends in a vertical direction with the outlet 28 at the top'when conduit 2
  • crystals of a vaporizable substance may be-placed within chamber 20 by removing cover 26. The cover is then replaced in position andthe motor H started. Rotation of such an extent that crystals fall back toward the 50 bottom of the chamber, to be again picked up by the high velocity air entering the chamber.
  • the arrows Exemplary a possible path of travel of the crystals although it is to be understood that The flow of air in a vertical these arrows by no means indicate a definite path 5 tacle.
  • the result is that the crystals are violently agitated and are not held in a more or less stationary position against the upper screen 21.
  • FIG. 2 diflers from that just described only in the fact that the wall 30 bounding chamber 22 is conical throughout its entire length instead of being made up of conical and cylindrical portions.
  • the operation of this embodiment is substantially the same as previously described.
  • a baffle member 33 is secured within cover member 26 and is formed with a central opening across "which is secured a screen 34.
  • This screen may be fiat, like the screen 21 in Fig. 1, or it may be formed with a conical central part 35, the apex of the cone being at the bottom.
  • bafiie 33 tends to produce a region 31 at the top of chamber 22 where the air has no'velocity in an upward direction and may even have a downwardly directed component. This facilitates the return of the crystals to the lower part of the chamber.
  • the screen 34 is formed with a conical central part, the upwardly moving crystals are deflected thereby into the quiet zone, and hence, returned to the lower part of the chamber.
  • FIG. 4 an embodiment of the invention is shown in connection with a vacuum cleaner of the commercial type which has an upwardly directed outlet 38.
  • a vacuum cleaner of this type it is not necessary to provide receptacle 20 with a bent conduit 2
  • a vaporizer made in accordance with the present invention is simple and cheap to manufacture. A violent agitation of the crystals is obtained without recourseto any'special means for agitating or whirling the air admitted to the recep- This results in a very simplified structure.
  • a vaporizer including wall structure forming a container having a conical portion, means for supporting said container with the axis of said cone vertical and with the wider part thereof above the narrower part, a first screen member secured across the upper part of said container, a second screen member secured across the lower part of said container, means for directing a current of air upwardly through said container and the screen members therein for agitating vaporizable crystals retained between said screen members by lifting crystals against the force of gravity, and baffle .means in the upper part of said container for providing a zone of reduced air velocity for facilitating return of crystals to the lower part of said container.
  • a vaporizer including wall structure forming a container having a larger upper than lower cross-sectional area, a first perforated member disposed across the lower part of said container, a second perforated member disposed across the upper part of said container, said members defining a space Within said container adapted to retain vaporizable solid particles, means for directing a current of air upwardly through said container and the perforated members therein for agitating said particles bylifting particles against the force of gravity, and baflle means in the upper part of said container for providing a zone of reduced air velocity for facilitating return of particles to the lower part of said container, the central part of said second perforated member being conical with, the apex extending downwardly, whereby particles are deflected into said zone of reduced velocity.
