    摘要: The invention provides apparatus for separating dirt or dust from an airflow, comprising a collector (32) having an outer wall (32a) forming an air-rotational surface, an inner wall (34a), an airflow inlet for introducing the airflow substantially tangentially to the outer wall (32a), an airflow outlet for removing air from the collector (32), and at least one fin or baffle (30) positioned within the collector (32), characterised in that the or each fin or baffle (30) is located on the inner wall (34a) of the collector (32) and projects outwardly therefrom. The presence of the fins or baffles (30) on the inner wall (34a) discourages re-entrainment of dirt and dust particles remaining within the separation apparatus after the airflow therethrough has been discontinued.

    摘要: The invention provides a clutch mechanism (200) having a driven pulley (32) and a drive pulley (34) to which a load is applied, the clutch mechanism (200) having an engaged position in which torque applied in use to the driven pulley (32) is transmitted to the drive pulley (34), and a disengaged position in which torque applied in use to the driven pulley (32) is not transmitted to the drive pulley (34), wherein the clutch mechanism (200) also has override means (238, 242) by which at least a proportion of the torque applied to the driven pulley (32) is absorbed when the load applied to the drive pulley (34) exceeds a predetermined value. The invention also provides a clutch mechanism (200) having a driven pulley (32) and a drive pulley (34) to which a load is applied, the clutch mechanism (200) having an engaged position in which the torque applied in use to the driven pulley (32) is transmitted to the drive pulley (34), and override means whereby at least a proportion of the torque applied in use to the driven pulley (32) is absorbed when the load applied to the drive pulley (34) exceeds a predetermined value, the override means comprising a pair of detent plates (238, 242), the detent plates being pressed together so as to transmit torque therebetween in the engaged position, and the detent plates (238, 242) being rotatable with respect to one another when override occurs, and at least one ball-bearing (248) being held captive between the detent plates (238, 242), the detent plates (238, 242) being adapted so as to retain the at least one ball-bearing (248) within a groove in each detent plate, wherein each groove is continuous about the axis of rotation of the detent plates.

    摘要: The invention provides apparatus (10) for separating dirt or dust from an airflow comprising a frustoconical cyclone (12) having a tangential air inlet (16) located at or adjacent the end of the cyclone (12) having the larger diameter and a cone opening (18) located at the end of the cyclone (12) having the smaller diameter. A collector (20) is arranged so as to surround the cone opening (18) and has a base surface (24) facing towards the cone opening (18). According to the invention, at least a portion (24a) of the base surface (24') is conical or frustoconical in shape and dust-retaining means (30) are provided spaced from the centre of the base surface. This allows the apparatus (10) to be reduced in size without substantially affecting the separation efficiency.

    摘要: Portable cleaning apparatus (10) comprises a body (12) having a lower surface (16) and first and second support means (18a, 18b) located at or adjacent opposing sides of the lower surface (16). Between the first and second support means (18a, 18b), the lower surface (16) has an upwardly extending recess (30) for accommodating a stair tread. This provides portable cleaning apparatus, e.g. a vacuum cleaner, which can be positioned in a stable manner on stairs.

    摘要: A shroud for use in a dual inner and outer cyclonic vacuum cleaner (10) is described. The shroud has a cylindrical section (50c, 132) adjacent an inner surface 15b, 111b) of a cyclonic container (15,111) and preferably comprises a combined shroud disc unit (50). The combined shroud and disc unit fits on the outside surface (20c) of the inner cyclone (20) and aids in removal of first and fibrous matter from the airflow in the outer cyclone (15). Improved airflow between the outer cyclone (15) and inner cyclone (20) is achieved because of the shroud and disc unit (50).

    摘要: A vacuum suction cleaning appliance has a casing (1) which accommodates one or more cyclone units, a motor driven fan unit for generating air-flow from a dirty air inlet tract (11) through said cyclone unit(s), a ground engaging cleaning head (2 and 4) rotatably mounted in the casing (1), a pipe (6, 44 and 45) connectable to a suction tool, and an air-flow control device. The air-flow control device and the motor driven fan unit are located within the lower end (7) of the casing (1). The air-flow control device is adapted to selectively direct dirt laden air into the dirty air inlet tract (11), from either the ground engaging cleaning head (2 and 4) or the suction tool via the pipe (6, 44 and 45), said air-flow control device being operated by rotation of the cleaning head (2 and 4) relative to the casing (1).
