14,554. Specification of Reissued Letters Patent. Reissued Nov. 2G, 1918.
Original No. 1,254,686, dated January 29, 1918, Serial No. 189,917, filed September 6, 1917. Application for reissue filed June 28. 1918. Serial No. 242.497.
To all whom it may concern:
Be, it known that I, Albert M. Grubbs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Warsaw, in the county of Kosciusko and 6 State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Handle Attachments. of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device for de10 tachably securing a handle to the bails of certain ’ classes of vacuum cleaners and carpet sweepers and the like, wherein the ordinary handle has a tendency to unscrew and become loose, and which is induced 15 through the reciprocatory movement imparted to such cleaners and sweepers when in use: and one of the objects of the invention consists in the provision of a handleattachment whereby a handle can be se20 enrol y attached or detached from a vacuum cleaner and carpet sweeper bail, thereby preventing accidental separation of the parts.
. A further object of the invention con<25 sists in the provision of a handle-attachment which is simple in construction, efficient in operation and economical to manufacture. .
I accomplish the above objects of the in.. J volition, and such others as may. appear from a perusal of the, specification and claims, by means of the, construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which—
Figure, 1 is a top or plan view of a portion of a handle, and bail, showing my invention in operative position, big- 2 is a fragmentary detail in front elevation of the ’ construction shown in Fig. 1, with the outer 40 disk omitted. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the opposite side of the construction from that shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the handle, on an enlarge,descale, in which tlie bail is omitted. Fig. 5 is a 45’·fragmentary detail partly in section and partly in elevation of the construction shown in Fig. 4. Fig. (5 is a, modified construction.
Referring to the drawings, 10 represents 50 a hail such as employed on certain vacmim cleaners and carpet sweepers, and said bail is provided with'ji bend 11 midway its length. Integrally formed as a part, ot liaiT 10. or securely attached thereto, is a 55 disk 12 having a central aperture 13 adapt ed to form a passageway for a threaded bolt 14 mounted in the end of a handle 15. Bail · 10 may» be formed with a single disk 12 on one, of its sides, or the bail may be formed with a second disk 12<sup>a</sup>, as shown in Figs. 1 60 and (i. Disk 12 may have a smooth inner face, as shown in Fig. (>, or it may be provided with ratchet teeth 20, as shown in Fig. 1. Tn case disk 12 alone .is formed on bail 10 its central aperture 13 is provided 65. with threads adapted to engage the threaded end of holt 14. When however the additional disk 12<sup>a</sup> is employed aperture 13 is left free of threads and aperture 12'* in disk 12<sup>a</sup> is provided with threads, thereby pro- 70 viding a bearing nearer the end of bolt 14.
In case disk 12 is provided with the ratchet, . teeth 20 the said teeth are engaged by a. pawl 22 carried in the end of handle 15.
The end of handle 15 is provided with a fer- 75 rule, 25, and a pin 26 is passed transversely through said ferrule, handle 15 and bolt 14 to firmly hold the several parts in rigid relation. Ferrule 25 projects slightly in advance of the end of handle 15 to form a 80 recess for housing body 23 carrying pawl 22. and body 23 is provided with a, central aperture 24 for the passage of bolt 14. One end of body 23 terminates in an ear 28 which enters a slot. 29 in ferrule 25 and forms a 85 pivot for tilting body 23 and swinging pawl 22 into and out of engagement with the ratchet teeth 20 in the face of disk 12. and an elongated slot 30 in ferrule. 25 permits free movement of pawl 22 within prescribed 90 limits. Pawl 22 is normally held into engagement with teeth 20 through the medium of a spring 32 surrounding bolt 14 and bearing against tlie adjacent, face of body 23.
In view of the limited space between body 95 23 and the end of handle, 15 the, latter is provided with a socket 33 for the reception of said spring 32.
While I have, described my invention with more or less minuteness as regards de- 100 tails of construction and arrangement, and as being embodied in certain precise forms, I do not desire,-to be limited , thereto unduly or any more, than is pointed out in the, claims. On the contrary, Ϊ contemplate all 105 proper changes in form, construction and arrangement, the omission of immaterial dements, and Hie, substitution of equivalents as circumstances may suggest or necessity render expedient. 110
