Abstract
A recycling extraction cleaner and dryer is provided which includes a unitary body member having a vacuum blower chamber, a plenum chamber and a nozzle head including a drying air discharge, a cleaning fluid discharge and a vacuum intake. A cleaning fluid container is removably mounted on the body to communicate with the cleaning fluid discharge, and a vacuum generator in the vacuum blower chamber creates a vacuum in the plenum chamber which communicates with the vacuum intake. The vacuum generator creates an exhaust air flow in the vacuum blower chamber which is directed to the drying air discharge to provide drying air under pressure to a surface to be cleaned and to increase the pressure differential between the plenum chamber and the surface contacting side of the nozzle head.
Claims13
A recycling extraction cleaner and drier for cleaning a surface comprising:
- a body member for housing internal cleaner components;
- said body member including a vacuum blower chamber and a nozzle head formed at opposite ends of said body member, said nozzle head including a drying air discharge means, a cleaning fluid discharge head, and a vacuum intake means;
- a fluid receiving chamber removably mounted on said body member adjacent to said nozzle head for containing cleaning fluid, means connecting said fluid receiving chamber to said cleaning fluid discharge head;
- a plenum chamber formed on said body member between said vacuum blower chamber and said fluid receiving chamber, said plenum chamber being in communication with said fluid receiving chamber;
- a vacuum generating means mounted on said body member in said vacuum blower chamber for creating a vacuum in said plenum chamber and an exhaust air flow in said vacuum blower chamber;
- drying air conduit means extending within said body member from said vacuum blower chamber to said drying air discharge means, said drying air conduit means operating to conduct the exhaust air flow from said vacuum generating means to said drying air discharge means;
- and
- a vacuum conduit means connecting said vacuum intake means to said plenum chamber.
