Abstract: 2592. Lebenberg, M. Feb. 5. Vacuum cleaning-apparatus.-A portable vacuum cleaning-apparatus for operating on a small scale is adapted to produce a continuous suction, by providing an auxiliary spring - controlled piston in addition to the main pedal - actuated piston, the pistons being provided with special packing ; the pedal is also arranged so that its actuation does not affect the stability of the apparatus. A casing 1, which is made portable by means of a handle 25 and rollers 26 normally out of contact with the ground, contains a cylinder 2 fitted with a piston 3, which is operated in the downward direction by means of a pedal 9, pivoted lever 31, and link 8<a> and returned by a spring 5, whereby dust-laden air from a suction nozzle is drawn through a pipe 23 and filter-bag 15, the purified air passing away through valves 14. An auxiliary piston 19, which works in a cylinder 16 open to the atmosphere at the top 22, follows the piston 3 in its downward direction but is returned by a spring 21 at the moment the suction effect in the pipe 23 due to the piston 3 fails, thereby creating an additional suction which makes the whole continuous. Both pistons are guided by rods working in cross-head guides. They are made of sheet metal and are packed by leather collars 11, Fig. 2, secured thereon by a wire 30 and pressed against the cylinder by a helical spring 27 held in place by an annular flange 28. The piston 3 may carry an auxiliary filter-bag 36, Fig. 5, stiffened with a lining of wire gauze 38. The filter is secured to a ring 35 provided with a milled head 37 and adapted to be readily removed from the screw-threaded connexion 34 with the piston. The lever carrying the pedal 9 may be attached directly to the rod 4 connected to the piston, but in either case is arranged approximately in a plane containing the centre of gravity of the apparatus so that the apparatus will not tend to tilt when the lever is actuated.
