Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner suction apparatus comprising an upper cover connected to a lower cover which has a void for installation of a rotary brush with a plurality of rotary vanes along a rotary shaft, first and second diaphragms with grooves at both sides of the void and a third diaphragm to form a duct over the second diaphragm and a certain shape of an air inlet between the lower cover and the first diaphragm to infuse outside air, thereby improving the suction efficiency of transporting the dust and foreign objects sucked through an air inlet, the void and a connecting pipe and thereby simplifying the number of parts and improvement of productivity as the rotary brush is driven by suction force of outside air and turning effect of the rotary vanes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A vacuum cleaner suction apparatus, the apparatus having a rotary brush disposed in a void formed at a lower cover and coupled by the lower cover and an upper cover for sucking dust and foreign objects during vacuum cleaning, the apparatus comprising inside the rotary brush via a straightly-formed rotary shaft means for rotating the rotary brush, wherein the means for rotating the rotary brush comprise a plurality of rotary vanes disposed on a straightly-formed rotary shaft located inside the rotary brush.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A vacuum cleaner suction apparatus, the apparatus having a rotary brush disposed in a void formed at a lower cover and coupled by the lower cover and an upper cover for sucking dust and foreign objects during vacuum cleaning, the apparatus comprising inside the rotary brush via a straightly-formed rotary shaft means for rotating the rotary brush, wherein the means for rotating the rotary brush comprise a plurality of rotary vanes disposed on a straightly-formed rotary shaft located inside the rotary brush.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
94 words
A vacuum cleaner suction apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the lower cover has a first diaphragm member and a second diaphragm member integrally formed in the lower cover, the first and second diaphragm members defining respective sides of a groove accommodating the rotary brush therein, wherein the second diaphragm member is integrally formed with a third diaphragm member of the lower cover such that the second and third diaphragm members form a duct in the lower cover, and wherein the lower cover has an air inlet extending through the first diaphragm member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
137 words
In a vacuum cleaner suction apparatus comprising an upper cover connected to a lower cover to form a void, the lower cover having a first aperture formed therein for sucking external air into the void, the suction apparatus having a rotary brush disposed at least partially in the first aperture, wherein the improvement comprises: the lower cover having a second aperture formed therein for sucking external air into the apparatus, the second aperture being separate from the first aperture, and the rotary brush being coupled to the lower cover wherein external air sucked through the second aperture passes inside the rotary brush effecting rotation of the rotary brush, said rotary brush has vanes disposed inside the rotary brush and wherein external air passing inside the rotary brush effects rotation of the vanes thereby rotating the rotary brush.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
137 words
In a vacuum cleaner suction apparatus comprising an upper cover connected to a lower cover to form a void, the lower cover having a first aperture formed therein for sucking external air into the void, the suction apparatus having a rotary brush disposed at least partially in the first aperture, wherein the improvement comprises: the lower cover having a second aperture formed therein for sucking external air into the apparatus, the second aperture being separate from the first aperture, and the rotary brush being coupled to the lower cover wherein external air sucked through the second aperture passes inside the rotary brush effecting rotation of the rotary brush, said rotary brush has vanes disposed inside the rotary brush and wherein external air passing inside the rotary brush effects rotation of the vanes thereby rotating the rotary brush.
