Abstract
A surface cleaner and collector system includes: a chamber having an opening for receiving a surface to be cleaned; at least one pressurized air delivery system proximate the surface for establishing an air flow for loosening and entraining contaminants on the surface; a sealing system for sealing the chamber and creating a positive pressure therein; and a collector for trapping the entrained contaminants and passing the air flow.
Claims34
A surface cleaner and collector system comprising:
- a chamber having an opening for receiving a surface to be cleaned;
- a pressurized air delivery system proximate said surface for establishing an air flow for loosening and entraining contaminants on said surface;
- a collector for trapping said entrained contaminants and passing the air flow, the entrained contaminants directed to said collector preventing their escape from said system;
- a sealing system for sealing said collector with respect to said chamber;
- and
- a delivery system for transporting the surface through the opening in said chamber.
A surface cleaner and collector system comprising:
- a chamber having an opening for receiving a surface to be cleaned;
- a pressurized air delivery system proximate said surface for establishing an air flow pattern for loosening and entraining contaminants on said surface;
- means for sealing said chamber against the escape of said entrained contaminants from said chamber, said means for sealing said chamber including end seals for sealing said collector and said chamber with respect to said surface delivery system;
- a collector for trapping said entrained contaminants and passing said air flow;
- and
- a surface delivery system for transporting the surface through the opening in said chamber.
A surface cleaner and collector system comprising:
- a chamber having an opening for receiving a surface to be cleaned;
- a pressurized air delivery system proximate said surface for establishing an air flow for loosening and entraining contaminants on said surface;
- a collector for trapping said entrained contaminants and passing the air flow, the entrained contaminants directed to said collector preventing their escape from said system;
- a sealing system for sealing said collector with respect to said chamber;
- and
- a static eliminator system for reducing the static electricity which binds the contaminants to the surface.
A surface cleaner and collector system comprising:
- a chamber having an opening for receiving a surface to be cleaned;
- a pressurized air delivery system proximate said surface for establishing an air flow for loosening and entraining contaminants on said surface, said air delivery system including two spaced air delivery devices positioned proximate the surface;
- a collector for trapping said entrained contaminants and passing the air flow, the entrained contaminants directed to said collector preventing their escape from said system;
- and
- a sealing system for sealing said collector with respect to said chamber.
A surface cleaner and collector system comprising:
- a chamber having an opening for receiving a surface to be cleaned;
- a pressurized air delivery system proximate said surface for establishing an air flow for loosening and entraining contaminants on said surface;
- a collector for trapping said entrained contaminants and passing the air flow, the entrained contaminants directed to said collector preventing their escape from said system;
- a sealing system for sealing said collector with respect to said chamber;
- and
- means for recirculating the passed air flow from said collector and for introducing a recirculated air flow into the air flow established by said air delivery system.
