Definitions
- the sidewalls have an interior height, typically between about 200 mm and about 250 mm, and the upper section of the inlet chamber has an air inlet opening through the sidewalls.
- the enclosed outlet chamber is disposed concentrically within the upper section of the inlet chamber.
- the outlet chamber has a bottom wall, a top wall and generally vertical sidewalls.
- the top wall has a top wall opening and the sidewalls have an interior height, typically between about 50 mm and about 100 mm.
- the sidewalls also have a large plurality of inlet apertures, each inlet aperture, typically defining an area between about 3 mm 2 and about 30 mm 2 .
- Figure 1 is a perspective front view of a vacuum cleaner having features of the invention
- Figure 3 is a detailed view of a blower and blower filter combination useable in the invention
- Figure 4 is a perspective rear view of the vacuum cleaner illustrated in Figure i;
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a dust extraction and collection unit useable in the invention.
- the chasse 12 comprises a base unit 18 and a housing unit 20.
- the base unit 18 has an air inlet 22 wherein dust and dirt is sucked up into the chasse 12.
- the base unit 18 includes a rotating horizontal floor brush 24.
- the invention further comprises duct work 92 for serially connecting in fluid communication the air inlet 22 in the base unit 18, the inlet chamber 32, the outlet chamber 34 and the air blower 14. It is very important that all such duct work 92 and all connection points within the duct work and between various components in the system and/or the duct work 92 be well-sealed. Even small leaks within the system can markedly decrease efficiency and increase power requirements.
