摘要： A wet/dry utility vacuum cleaner with detachable blower is disclosed. The detachable blower, when mounted in sealed relationship to a lid positioned above a utility vacuum cleaner drum, operates as a wet/dry utility vacuum cleaner. When separated from the utility vacuum cleaner drum, the detachable blower can be used for non-vacuuming applications. The utility vacuum drum lid includes two resilient and deformable latches: a releasable blower latch and a releasable lid latch. The releasable blower latch detachably mounts the detachable blower to the lid while the releasable lid latch detachably mounts the lid relative to the utility vacuum cleaner drum. The releasable blower latch has at least one reinforcing fin for engaging a complementary slot in the lid. The releasable lid latch has at least one slot for receiving a complementary reinforcing fin on the lid. The seating of the reinforcing fins in the respective slots, when the respective latches are in an engaged position, prevents the deformation of the respective latches and unwanted disattachment from the vacuum cleaner.

摘要： The present invention is a handle used for pulling a wet/dry vacuum appliance and a mechanism for securely mounting such a handle to the lid of the vacuum. The mounting mechanism is designed for ease of assembly and reduced fastener cost. The handle is attached at two of its four attachment points by inserting journals molded into the sides of the handle into open bearing pockets molded in handle receiving recesses on the lid of the vacuum. The handle is then rotated into place and secured at the remaining two attachment points with suitable fasteners, such as screws. In certain embodiments of this invention, when the handle is rotated into position for attachment a locking slot in the bottom surface of the handle engages a rib provided in the handle receiving recess of the lid. This rib guides the handle as it rotates, prevents the journals from sliding back out of the bearing pockets, and locks the handle into the proper position for insertion of the fasteners.

摘要： A floor brush nozzle assembly for a vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The floor brush nozzle assembly includes an elongated generally rectangular shaped nozzle housing including a connecting passageway for association with the vacuum cleaner. A U-shaped channel surrounds the nozzle housing for receiving an upper formed end of a floor brush. The U-shaped channel includes peripherally spaced ribs that cause a complementary U-shaped formed end of the floor brush to releasably and resiliently engage undercut areas in the U-shaped channel for releasably mounting the floor brush relative to the nozzle housing. The upper formed end of the floor brush may also have an undercut configuration to enhance releasable engagement with the undercut areas in the U-shaped channel. The upper formed end of the floor brush is preferably a metal component while the nozzle housing is a molded plastic component. In order to pick up fine debris as well as larger media such as rocks or wood chips, the floor brush may be provided with shorter leading bristles and longer trailing bristles for this purpose.

摘要： A motor manufacturing and its method of assembly are disclosed. The motor includes lower and upper end frames with bearings, an armature assembly rotatably mounted in the bearings of the lower and upper end frames, and a winding field assembly supported between the lower and upper end frames and surrounding the armature assembly. The method includes the steps of inserting one end of the armature assembly into the bearing of the lower end frame, positioning the winding field assembly over the armature assembly while also stacking the winding field assembly on the lower end frame, stacking the upper end frame on the winding field assembly while also positioning an opposite end of the armature assembly into the bearing of the upper end frame, and securing the lower end frame, winding field assembly and upper end frame to each other. Motor brush and brush holder assemblies are also secured to the upper end frame in a novel releasable locking arrangement, in order to provide self compensating adjustment of the brushes relative to a commutator that surrounds the armature assembly.

摘要： Applicant has created systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling the power supply of a vacuum cleaner motor. The systems and apparatuses include pressure taps to detect a pressure differential within a vacuum cleaner, a float that adjusts depending on an amount of liquid stored, and a power switch that toggles based on the pressure differential created by the position of the float. Alternatively, the float can be replaced by an air chamber so that the pressure differential is created by liquid rising above the volume of air trapped in the chamber. The method can include interrupting the current supplied to an electrical circuit of a power switch based upon a pressure differential created within the vacuum. By controlling the power supply to a vacuum cleaner motor based on a pressure differential created by the amount of liquid stored within the vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner can automatically disable the vacuum cleaner's motor as the vacuum approaches its maximum liquid capacity.

摘要： The present invention provides a holder for storing accessories on a wet/dry vacuum. The holder securely attaches to the vacuum and readily detaches therefrom. The detachable holder may be detached with the accessories. While an operator dumps debris out of the drum of the vacuum, detaching the holder prevents the accessories from being inadvertently spilled out of or discarded from the holder. The detachable accessory holder fully secures to a bracket attached to the vacuum. The secure attachment prevents the holder from falling off or tipping on the vacuum. To attach the holder to the bracket and vacuum, grooves on the holder are set on to an axle of the vacuum. As the holder is pivoted about the axle, tabs and a latch on the holder engage slots and a step on the bracket. To remove the holder, the operator presses on the latch and lifts the holder from the bracket and the appliance.
