Abstract
Abstract An exhauster nozzle for cleaning surfaces is described, which consists of a nozzle element which encloses a suction chamber and is provided with a connecting suction pipe. The open side of the nozzle element is closed by an adapter plate made of metal or plastic and exhibiting a suction orifice. A plurality of axially juxtaposed and mutually merging substantially circular or oval chambers are provided on the outside of the adapter plate, into which chambers obliquely oriented air supply ducts starting from the edges of the adapter plate lead tangentially. At least some of the chambers are open relative to the suction chamber of the nozzle element and form the suction orifice in the adapter plate. The remaining chambers are preferably closed relative to the suction chamber by a bottom plate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
An exhauster nozzle for use in cleaning surfaces, said nozzle comprising: an element enclosing a suction chamber and provided with a connecting suction pipe; said element closed on the open side by an adapter plate; said adaptor plate provided with a plurality of abutting and mutually merging substantially circular chambers, said chambers opening on the outside of said adaptor plate and at least one chamber being open to said suction chamber, said chambers situated essentially along the longitudinal axis of said adaptor plate; air supply ducts situated on both longitudinal edges of said adaptor plate; at least one air supply duct obliquely oriented in the direction of said suction chamber leading tangentially into each chamber from said longitudinal edges of said adaptor plate; and said air supply ducts arranged on said longitudinal edges opening alternately into succeeding chambers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
An exhauster nozzle for use in cleaning surfaces, said nozzle comprising: an element enclosing a suction chamber and provided with a connecting suction pipe; said element closed on the open side by an adapter plate; said adaptor plate provided with a plurality of abutting and mutually merging substantially circular chambers, said chambers opening on the outside of said adaptor plate and at least one chamber being open to said suction chamber, said chambers situated essentially along the longitudinal axis of said adaptor plate; air supply ducts situated on both longitudinal edges of said adaptor plate; at least one air supply duct obliquely oriented in the direction of said suction chamber leading tangentially into each chamber from said longitudinal edges of said adaptor plate; and said air supply ducts arranged on said longitudinal edges opening alternately into succeeding chambers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
An exhauster nozzle as defined by claim 1 wherein a strip of oblique-bristle fabric is arranged on end of the longitudinal sides of the suction orifice.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
An exhauster nozzle as defined by claim 1 wherein said suction orifice is situated at substantially the center of the longitudinal axis of said adaptor plate, and the air ducts situated on one side of a transverse line intersecting said suction orifice are arranged in mirror-image relationship with the air supply ducts situated on the opposing side of said transverse line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
An exhauster nozzle as defined by claims 1 or 3 wherein said air supply ducts leading tangentially into the outermost chambers of said adaptor plate start from the corners between transverse edges and longitudinal of said adaptor plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
An exhauster nozzle as defined by claim 1 wherein the central chambers of said adaptor plate located opposite said suction pipe of the nozzle element are open towards said suction chamber and lead thereinto as an elongate suction orifice and the remaining chambers are closed towards said suction chamber by a bottom plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
An exhauster nozzle as defined by claim 5 wherein said elongate suction orifice is extended into each of the two chambers adjacent the ends of said orifice and constricted in said chambers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
An exhauster nozzle as defined by claims 3, 4, 5 or 6 wherein the chambers which are totally or partially closed relative to the suction chamber are deeper than the air supply ducts.
