Abstract
A vacuum nozzle assembly is configured to couple to a vacuum hose of a vacuum assembly. The vacuum nozzle assembly includes (i) a cleaning member, (ii) a motor assembly configured such that actuation of the motor assembly causes the cleaning member to move; and (iii) a nozzle having a cylindrical wall. The nozzle couples to the motor assembly and a hose of a vacuum assembly. The nozzle has at least one opening through the wall thereof such that particles contacted by the cleaning member can be suctioned into a hose of a vacuum assembly. The motor of the motor assembly may be a bidirectional motor, for example.
Claims29
A motorized vacuum nozzle assembly configured to suction particles from within an enclosed space, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a motor assembly configured to move a cleaning member, thereby removing particles from surfaces contacted by the cleaning member;
- and
- means for coupling the motor assembly to a hose of a vacuum assembly;
- wherein the means for coupling has at least one opening therethrough, such that particles can be suctioned through the at least one opening and into a hose of a vacuum assembly.
A motorized vacuum nozzle assembly configured to suction particles from within an enclosed space, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a motor assembly configured to move a cleaning member, thereby removing particles from surfaces contacted by the cleaning member;
- and
- a nozzle having a proximal end, a distal end, and a wall extending therebetween, the distal end of the nozzle coupled to the motor assembly assembly;
- wherein the nozzle has at least one opening through the wall thereof, such that particles can be suctioned through the at least one opening of the nozzle.
A motorized vacuum nozzle assembly configured to contact and suction particles from within an enclosed space, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a cleaning member having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a motor assembly configured to move the cleaning member upon actuation of the motor assembly, thereby removing particles from surfaces contacted by the cleaning member;
- and
- means for coupling the motor assembly to a hose of a vacuum assembly, the means for coupling having at least one opening therethrough such that particles contacted by the cleaning member can be suctioned through the at least one opening and into a hose of a vacuum assembly.
A motorized vacuum nozzle assembly configured to contact and suction particles from within an enclosed space, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a cleaning member having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a motor assembly configured to move the cleaning member upon actuation of the motor assembly, thereby removing particles from surfaces contacted by the cleaning member;
- and
- a nozzle having a proximal end, a distal end, and a wall extending therebetween, the distal end of the nozzle coupled to the motor assembly assembly,
- wherein the nozzle has at least one opening through the wall thereof, such that particles contacted by the cleaning member can be suctioned through the at least one opening of the nozzle.
A motorized vacuum nozzle assembly configured to couple to a vacuum hose of a vacuum assembly, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a brush comprising a brush head and a plurality of bristles extending therefrom;
- a motor assembly coupled to the brush head such that actuation of the motor assembly causes the brush head to rotate;
- and
- a nozzle having a proximal end having a proximal opening, a distal end having a distal opening, and a cylindrical wall extending therebetween, a portion of the motor assembly being positioned within the distal end of the nozzle, wherein the nozzle has at least one opening through the cylindrical wall thereof, such that particles contacted by the brush can be suctioned through the at least one opening of the cylindrical wall and into a hose of a vacuum assembly.
A vacuum assembly, comprising:
- a vacuum source;
- a transfer station communicating with the vacuum source;
- and
- a motorized vacuum nozzle assembly communicating with the transfer station, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a vacuum nozzle having a proximal end, an opposing distal end, a cylindrical wall extending between the proximal and distal ends, and at least one opening extending through the cylindrical wall;
- a motor assembly coupled to the distal end of the nozzle;
- and
- a cleaning member that can be moved upon actuaction of the motor assembly;
- such that upon actuation of the motor assembly and the vacuum source, particles contacted by the cleaning member are suctioned through the at least one opening, through the transfer station and into the vacuum source.
A motorized vacuum nozzle assembly configured to contact and suction particles from within an enclosed space, the vacuum nozzle assembly comprising:
- a cleaning member having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a motor assembly having a distal end selectively coupled to the cleaning member such that actuation of the motor assembly causes the cleaning member to move;
- and
- a nozzle having a proximal end, a distal end, and a wall extending therebetween, the distal end of the nozzle coupling to the motor assembly assembly;
- wherein the nozzle has at least one opening through the wall thereof,
- such that particles contacted by the cleaning member can be suctioned through the at least one opening of the nozzle.
