Abstract
A vacuum cleaner includes an intake tube through which air is passed. An airflow deflector is disposed in the intake tube. A deflection surface of the airflow deflector is disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the intake tube passing through the deflection surface. The airflow deflector improves airflow from the intake tube into the vacuum bag, thereby improving the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaner.
Claims20
A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- an intake tube through which air is passed;
- and
- an airflow deflector disposed in said intake tube having a deflection surface, said deflection surface being disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of said intake tube passing through said deflection surface.
A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- an intake tube through which air is passed having an inner surface;
- an outlet nozzle connected to said intake tube;
- and
- an airflow deflector disposed in said intake tube having a deflection surface, said deflection surface being disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to an inner surface of said intake tube opposite said outlet nozzle.
