Title: Dust and dirt separation assembly
Inventor: GREY NICHOLAS GERALD
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2000-11-03
Granted: 2009-06-23
Abstract: A dust and dirt separation assembly (10; 50) for use in a vacuum cleaner, includes a dirty air inlet (12; 52) and a clean air outlet (13; 53) with an airflow path passing firstly through a cyclonic separator (11; 55) for separating larger particles of dirt from the dirty air and secondly through a filtration element (20; 66) for separating smaller particles of dust from the dirty air, a dirt collection chamber (16; 56) to receive dirt from the cyclonic separator and dust from the filter element, and a striker mechanism (30; 70) including a striker member (31; 78) which is operable to strike the filter element to dislodge the dust from the filter element so that the dust enters the collection chamber with the larger particles of dirt. The striker member may be operated in response to cessation of air-flow within a section (32-35) of the air-flow path or by a mechanical actuator (72).

Abstract: A gasket for a pipe joint includes an annular gasket body which is symmetrical around an axial centerline and is therefore insensitive to axial orientation. The gasket is formed of a resilient material and includes a base adapted to sealingly engage an annular groove formed in one of the pipe segments to be joined. First and second protrusions run along the length of the gasket body and extend radially therefrom. The first and second projections are spaced apart symmetrically about the centerline. An annular bore, bisected by the center line, extends within the interior of the gasket body, and comprises a central region bridging first and second transversely spaced apart lobes. It is particularly suited for sealing an annular space in a bell-and-spigot pipe joint and provides an increased surface contact area to compensate for defects in the sealing surfaces of the pipes.

Abstract: A method of expanding tubing comprises applying a varying fluid pressure across the wall of the tubing. The variation in pressure may be achieved by varying one or both of the fluid pressure within the tubing and the fluid pressure externally of the tubing. A body of varying volume may be located in a volume of fluid associated with the tubing. Alternatively, the volume of a body of fluid associated with the tubing may be varied by movement of a wall portion defining a boundary of the volume, which wall portion may be associated with an oscillator or a percussive or hammer device. In other embodiments a pressurised fluid source may be provided, and the fluid may be supplied at varying pressure from the source.
