Patent CA-2475732-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASON RICHARD ANTHONY
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2003-02-03
Abstract: A filter housing (60) comprises an inlet for receiving airflow, a cavity for receiving a filter (70) and an airflow passage between the inlet and the filter (70). At least one vane (65a, 65b, 65c) is positioned in the airflow passage for partitioning the airflow passage into a plurality of ducts (51, 52, 53). Each vane (65a, 65b) has a non-linear shape in the direction of flow through the airflow passage. This helps to reduce acoustic emissions from the machine since sound waves emitted by the fan and/or motor are caused to bounce off the vanes (65a, 65b), which allows the vanes (65a, 65b) to absorb some of the sound energy. The filter housing (60) can form part of a vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the position of a first object relative to a second object, the first object being releasably secured to the second object by a bolt. The method includes providing a precision movement tool comprising an L-shaped bracket having a base portion and a flange portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the base portion adjacent one end thereof, the base portion having an aperture adjacent an opposite end thereof, and a threaded adjustment bolt extending through a threaded aperture in the flange portion. The bolt is removed and the base portion of the precision movement tool is positioned so that the aperture in the base portion is aligned with apertures in the first and second objects from which the bolt has been removed. The precision movement tool is also positioned so that the flange portion overlies the first object such that the adjustment bolt can engage the first object. A bolt is passed through an aperture in the base portion and into the apertures in the first and second objects and secured in place in an untightened manner. The adjustment bolt is then rotated to engage the first object and move the first object relative to the second object by a desired amount.
