Embodiment Construction

[0038]As shown in FIGS. 1-24, a brushless vacuum cleaner in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention includes a vibrating member to facilitate removing dirt and debris from a surface to be cleaned. The vacuum cleaner can be any type of device employing suction to clean, including, but not limited to, upright, canister and handheld vacuum cleaners. The following description refers to a canister style vacuum cleaner.

[0039]A motor and a dirt and debris collector of a canister style vacuum cleaner 11 are housed in a separate unit (such as body 512 of FIG. 22), which is connected to a vacuum head 12 by a flexible hose 13, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. Wheels 16 connected to a housing 19 of the vacuum head 12 facilitate moving the vacuum head across a surface to be cleaned.

[0040]The vacuum cleaner 11 of the present invention does not include a brush roll in the vacuum head 12, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. The motor creates a partial vacuum, thereby creating a suction forc...

Abstract

A vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum head having a housing and a vibrating member connected to the housing. A suction inlet draws dirt and debris into the vacuum head. Vibration of the vibrating member facilitates drawing the dirt and debris into the vacuum head through the suction inlet.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 775,268, filed Mar. 8, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a brushless vacuum cleaner having a vibrating member to facilitate removing dirt and debris from a surface to be cleaned. More particularly, the present invention relates to a brushless vacuum cleaner having a vibrating member vibrated by air drawn into a vacuum head. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to a brushless vacuum cleaner having an impeller for vibrating a vibrating member in which the impeller is driven by air passing therethrough.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventional vacuum cleaners typically use a suction nozzle that is movable across a surface to be cleaned. The suction created at an inlet in the nozzle results in the removal of dirt and debris accumu...
