Claim 1
Independent Claim
244 words
A multi-function cleaning and drying apparatus 10 comprising a liquid container 12 having a closed cover 14 thereon, an air suction pump 22 and motor 24 mounted on and through said cover, said pump 22 having an air exhaust vent 26 therein extending externally of said container, a suction inlet pipe 16 having a vacuum hose connection 18 thereon, a drain pipe 20 connected to the bottom of said container 12, said bottom drain pipe 20 having a standard hose 46 connection thereon providing a liquid inlet, a pair of spaced-apart valves 48 and 50 in said bottom pipe 20, an outlet T-pipe 42 connected to said liquid inlet between its said spaced-apart valves, said outlet connecting T-pipe having a strainer 44 in its T-stem, a standard hose connection 54 at the end of said outlet T-pipe 42, a liquid high pressure pump and motor connected to said outlet by a pipe, a power circuit 30 connecting to both said pump motor 24 on its said cover 14 and to said high pressure pump motor 40, said circuit having a normally closed upper fluid level switch 28 extending into said container 14 at its normally high fluid level, said circuit having normally open low fluid level switch 32, adjacent the bottom of said container closed when in use but open when the fluid level is below it and connected to shut off said high pressure pump motor 40 when the liquid level is therebelow.

A multi-function cleaning and drying apparatus 10 comprising a liquid container 12 having a closed cover 14 thereon, an air suction pump 22 and motor 24 mounted on and through said cover, said pump 22 having an air exhaust vent 26 therein extending externally of said container, a suction inlet pipe 16 having a vacuum hose connection 18 thereon, a drain pipe 20 connected to the bottom of said container 12, said bottom drain pipe 20 having a standard hose 46 connection thereon providing a liquid inlet, a pair of spaced-apart valves 48 and 50 in said bottom pipe 20, an outlet T-pipe 42 connected to said liquid inlet between its said spaced-apart valves, said outlet connecting T-pipe having a strainer 44 in its T-stem, a standard hose connection 54 at the end of said outlet T-pipe 42, a liquid high pressure pump and motor connected to said outlet by a pipe, a power circuit 30 connecting to both said pump motor 24 on its said cover 14 and to said high pressure pump motor 40, said circuit having a normally closed upper fluid level switch 28 extending into said container 14 at its normally high fluid level, said circuit having normally open low fluid level switch 32, adjacent the bottom of said container closed when in use but open when the fluid level is below it and connected to shut off said high pressure pump motor 40 when the liquid level is therebelow.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The apparatus of claim 1, and a manually operable cut-off switch 34 in the circuit 30 from a power source 36 to said air suction pump motor 24.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The apparatus of claim 1, and a manually operable double pole double throw switch in the circuit to said high pressure pump motor 40 and to said low level switch 32 to selectively operate said high pressure pump motor 40 either with or without said low level switch 32.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The apparatus of claim 3, and a manually operable shut-off switch 34 in the circuit 30 from a power source 36 to said air suction pump motor 24.
