Turning now descriptively to the drawings, .in which like reference characters denote like elements throughout the several views, as besk seen in Figure 1, a vacuum comb 10 is shown to include a housing 12 having a projecting handle grip 14 integrally attached thereto. Spaced apart tines 16 are fixedly secured to a forward open end of housing 12 and serve as a comb to enter the hair of the pet 18 to comb and loosen Eleas, ticks, other insects, dirt and debris.
The opposite end of housing 12 is externally threaded and open and receives an internally threaded open end of a screw on canister 20 having a plurality of equally spaced air exhaust openings 22 in its end wall 24~ the Elow of air exhaust being indicated by the arrows 26. A porous debris collecting bag 28 is received on the interior of canister 20 and this canister's open end is removably received on a neck portion 30 projecting from, and integrally attached to housing 12. Air flow with insects and debris (not shown~ is indicated by arrows 32.
ReEerring now particularly to F'igure 3, the open encl of canister 20 is provided with a bayonet-type slot 34 on each side, which removably receives pins 36, that project from and are fixedly secured to the outer periphery of housing 12, and the combination of the slots 34 and the pins 35, enables easy and quick removal of canister 20 with only minimal rotational movement, to remove and replace debris collecting bag 28~
As best seen in figure 2, an electric motor 38 with fan blade 40 is mounted on the interior of housing 12, by spaced apart supports 42 that are suitably secured to the inner periphery of housing 12. The air intake produced by the combination oE motor 38 and fan blade 40 is indicated by the arrows 44. In the handle grip 14, an on-o~f s~itch 46 is typically connected in series with the motor 38 in a manner well known in the art in order to provide a means Eor controlling operating power.
An opening 48 through handle grip 14 provides for placement of an electric cord 50 having a male plug for engagement with an electrical outlet for supplying current to the motor 38 of vacuum comb 10. A tube 54 is secured to a forward portion of motor 38 for air cooling of motor 38. The other end of tube 54 is secured to an air filter 56 mounted in an opening 58 through a bottom portion oE handle yrip 14. Air cooling intake air indicated by arrows 60, is drawn into air Eilter 56, tube 54, and motor 38, by the Ean blade 40 when motor 38 is in operation.
In use, plug 52 is Eirst inserted into an electrica]
receptacle and then while the operator is holding the handle grip 14, the operator directs the tines 16 in the coat oE the pet 18 to be vacuumed and places the switch 46 in on position.
~fter the above, the comb 10 is moved through the coat of the pet 18 and the vacuum produced removes all loose hair, fur particles, fleas, ticks, other insects, and debris that may be lodged on the body of the pet 18. All that is vacuumed $ ~ ~
therefrom flows past the motor 38 and into the debris collecting bag 28 where it remains, and the air that has entered the bag 28 is discharged through the openings 26 in the rear oE the canister 20. Simultaneously, coolin~ air i9 drawn through the filter 46, the tube 54, and through the motor 38.
Referring now particularly to Figure 4 oE the drawings, a second embodiment of comb 10 that is wireless, includes a re-chargeable battery unit 62 in the handle grip 14 thereoE, for the operation of the motor 38. A pair of spaced apart openings 64 are provided in the bottom of the handle grip 14 Eor the reception of the prongs 6Ç of -the male plug 68 attached to a cord 70 with another male plug (not shown) that is plugged into an outlet receptacle, the arrangement providing for re-charging battery unit 62. When the prongs 66 are entered into the openings 64 o:E handle grip 1~, they are also entered into si.milar openings ~not shown) in the re-chargeable battery unit. In use, the :Eunction of comb 10 is the sarne as heretofore de.scribed, with the exception,that it is powered by the re-chargeable battery unit 62.
Referring now to Figure 5 of the drawings, a third embodiment 72 is shown to include a hand held housing 74 having a plurality oE close and equally spaced apart teeth 76 for grooming pet ].8. A divider wall 78 is fixedly secured to the inner periphery of housing 74 near its rear and open end and a space 80 is provided above divider wall 78 for providing incoming air passage into rear first compartment 82 -for the deposit of vacuumed debris.
A closure screw cap 84 is threaded into the open end of the compartment 82, and a forwardly disposed second compartmen-t 8~ is defined in housing 74 by an inner wall 88, and inner ~all 88 also defines a passageway 90 leading from the teeth 76 towards the rear first compartment 82. One end of inner wall 88 i6 also fixedly secured to a top portion of divider wall 78 and fixedly secured -to the inner periphery of housing 74.
A combLnation motor and re-chargeable battery unit 92 is secured within second compartment 86 and is operated by on-off switch 94 protruding from housing 7g to control rotation of fan blade, 96 that pulls air through filter 98 and discharges the air from an opening 100 through housing 74.
A combination motor and re-chargeable battery unit 92 is secured within second cotnpartment 86 and is operated by on-off switch 94 protrudiny from housing 74 to control rotation of fan blade 96 that pu].ls air through filte:r 98 and discharyes the air from an opening 100 through housing 74.
~ flexible check flat valve 102 is fixedly secured to one side of divider wall 78, and serves to cover and uncover passageway 90/ automatically, when embodiment 72 is. in operation. ~ pair of openings 104 are provided through housiny 74 and align with similar openin~s (not shown), through combination motor and re-chargeable battery unit 92.
Openings 104 receive the pair of prongs 106 o~ male plug 10 o cord llO, and cord llO is similar to the cord 70 above described and illustrated in Figure 4, for re-charging purposes.
In use, third embodiment 72 functions in a similar manner to that described in the embodimen-t of Figure l, with the exception that when fan blade 96 is rotating, it pulls the insects, loose hair and debris up through passageway 90. When the above is occurring, the force of the incoming air pushes the flex.ible check flap valve 102 rearwardly, thus clepositing all of the foreign matter into the compartment 82. This incoming air flow into compartment 82 exhausts through the filter 98 into opening 100 of housing 74 and finally, into the exterior atmosphere leaving the foreign matter in the compartment 82.
When embodiment 72 is turned off, the check flap valve 102 returns to it~ closed position~ so as to prevent the deposited foreign matter from being released into the passageway 90 and out of this embodiment 72. Discarding of the deposited ma-terial Erom compartment 82 is eEEected by ~0 unscrewing the screw cap 84 and discharging debris collected there in into a ~aste receptacle. ~he screw cap 84 is then screwed baclc into the compartment 82 in order to restore the device to a functional state.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim.s it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated ~r~$~ ~
and ln its operation can be made by those skilled in the ar~
without departing from the spirit of the invention.
