Abstract
A path-conversion valve assembly for a vacuum cleaner comprises a valve member rotatably mounted in an air path formed in a cleaner of a vacuum cleaner which includes a socket for receiving a hose nozzle, and a resilient member mounted in the air path to resiliently press the rotating valve member in an opposite direction to the rotating direction of the valve member.
Claims7
A path-conversion valve assembly for a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a valve member rotatably mounted in an air path formed in a vacuum cleaner which includes a socket for receiving a hose nozzle, the valve member rotating in a rotating direction in response to insertion of the hose nozzle;
- and
- a resilient member mounted in the air path to resiliently press the rotating valve member in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the valve member.
A path-conversion valve assembly for a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a valve member rotatably mounted at an intersection of first, second, third and fourth ducts, the first duct in fluid communication with a vacuum source for generating a suction force, the second duct in fluid communication with a hose connecter, the third duct connected to an air inlet of a brush assembly and the fourth duct mounting a hose nozzle, wherein the valve member rotates in a rotating direction in response to insertion of the hose nozzle;
- and
- a resilient member applying a rotating force to the valve member in the opposite direction to the rotating direction of the valve member.
