Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to multi-part suction nozzles, and more particularly to a multi-part nozzle for use with a suction-actuated scalp-cleaning apparatus such as that shown in the present inventors application Serial No. 151,337, filed November 9, 1961.
- the subject nozzle In use the subject nozzle is connected by a conduit to suction-imparting means, and is utilized by a barber or hairdresser to clean the hair and scalp of a person whose hair has just been cut. This eliminates the annoying subsequent accumulation of loose bits of hair, dandruff, etc. on the shoulders and neck of the person whose hair has been cut, and without employing a hair-washing operation.
- the subject nozzle may also be used advantageously to remove such bits of hair, etc. which fall on the eck and shoulders during cutting.
- a nozzle of this type is utilized several times daily and because each of the several daily uses is on the scalp of a different person, the nozzle must be thoroughly cleaned, both inside and out, before each use. In order for the nozzle to be thoroughly cleaned in accordance with hygienic standards, all of the surfaces of the nozzle, both inside and out, must be readily accessible to cleaning solutions and equipment.
- Accessibility to the interior surfaces of an ordinary one-piece nozzle is difiicult.
- the necessary accessibility is provided by constructing the nozzle of several readily divisible parts, all surfaces of which, both inside and out, are readily accessible for cleaning when disassembled.
- the multi-part nozzle of the present invention is provided with means Which render the nozzle capable of disassembly substantially instantaneously, and capable of assembly almost as fast.
- the nozzle of the instant invention is constructed so that merely by grasping the nozzle at opposite ends thereof and imparting a slight pulling force, the nozzle will become separated into three discrete parts.
- the post-cleaning assembly operation equally as simple and nearly as fast, will be described subsequently.
- FIGURE 1 is a perspective view illustrating an embodiment of a multi-part suction nozzle, constructed in accordance with the present invention, being used in a scalpcleaning operation;

- FIGURE 1 there is shown an 3,134,128 Patented May 26, 1964 embodiment 10 of a multi-part suction nozzle constructed in accordance with the present invention, and utilized for cleaning the scalp 11 of a person 12.
- Nozzle 10 is connected by a conduit 13 to suction-imparting means such as that shown in the present inventors application Serial No. 151,337, filed November 9, 1961.
- the subject nozzle is shown to comprise three parts, a pair of wall means 20, 21, engageable to define a hollow interior, and collar means 22.
- the nozzle has the configuration illustrated in FIGURE 2.
- collar means 22 is grasped in one hand, and the two wall means 20, 21 are grasped in the other hand, and the two hands are pulled apart in opposite directions along the longitudinal axis 51 of the nozzle. This results in an instantaneous disassembly into the three separate parts, as illustrated in FIGURE 3.
- Collar means 22 is substantially cylindrical in crosssection and terminates at a rearwardly extending narrower portion 45 for connection to conduit 13.
- Each of the two wall means 20, 21 is substantially identical and includes semi-circular rear portions 24, 25 respectively, which, when the wall means are assembled, define a nozzle rear portion open at the rear.
- Each wall means 20, 21 additionally comprises diverging side surfaces 26, 27 and 28, 29 respectively, said surfaces diverging from the rear portions 24, 25 of their respective wall means.
- Also extending from the rear portions of the wall means are sloping surfaces 30, 31 on wall means 20, 21 respectively. Sloping surfaces 30, 31 terminate at a plurality of angularly extending front portions 36, 37 separated by notches 32, 33 respectively.
- Notch means 32, 33 and angularly extending portions 36, 37 cooperate to define suction openings at the forward end of the nozzle when wall means 20, 21 are assembled as shown in FIGURE 2.
- Each of the wall means 20, 21 includes matching peripheral edge means 34, 35, respectively, each of which engages the other when wall means 20, 21 are assembled.
- pin means 40a and socket means 41a Located on wall means 21 at opposite ends of notches 33 are pin means 40a and socket means 41a; and located on wall means 20 at opposite ends of notches 32 are pin means 40 for reception Within socket means 41a and socket means (not shown) for receiving pin means 40a when the wall means 20, 21 are assembled.
- the pin and socket means prevent movement of engaged wall means 20, 21 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, as well as in a direction transverse to both the longitudinal axis of the nozzle and the axis of the pin means.
- Collar means 22 peripherally engages the semicircular tubular rear portions 24, 25 or both wall means 20, 21 when the latter two are engaged, and prevents movement of the engaged wall means in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle.
- wall means 20, 21 are each provided with a cross-section, taken transverse to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle and at any location along the respective wall means, which is less than the complete cross-section of the assembled nozzle taken at the same location.
- This feature is provided because merely making the nozzle out of several divisible parts will not, alone, facilitate access to interior surface portions of the nozzle if the divisible part has a cross-section the same as the entire cross-section of the nozzle, and if this cross-section is relatively narrow in any given direction.
- the cross-section of the assembled nozzle adjacent the suction openings is relatively narrow in the direction of the arrow 50 in FIGURE 2, and access to the interior surface portions of the assembled nozzle at this location is difficult.
- access at this same location is difficult.
- a divisible part e.g. wall means 20 or 21 having a cross-section less than that of the assembled nozzle, is relatively easy.
- the nozzle When the nozzle is in the assembled condition shown in FIGURE 2, it comprises a diverging first pair of sides defined by wall means surfaces 26, 28 and 27, 29; a converging second pair of sides defined by wall means surfaces 30, 31; a substantially tubular rear portion defined by wall means portions 24, 25; and frontal suction openings defined by notches 32, 33 and depending portions 36, 37.
- Each pin means and each socket means is located adjacent the most divergent portion of a respective one of said first pair of sides, and adjacent the most convergent portion of a respective one of said second pair of sides.
- the wall means is relatively thick at the locations of the pin means and the socket means and is substantially thinner along the entire remainder of the wall means in comparison to the thickness at the locations of the pin means and the socket means.
- All parts 20, 21 and 22 of nozzle 10 may be composed of a non-rusting metallic material (e.g. stainless or plated steel) or of synthetic resin such as extrusion molded thermoplastic resins exemplified by Lucite (a methyl methacrylate polymer made by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Delaware), nylon (a longchain synthetic polymeric amide having recurring amide groups as an integral part of the main polymer chain), and Styron 475 (a high impact polystyrene made by Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan); these specific resins are capable of being cleaned in 30% formaldehyde without adverse effects.

- the nozzle 10 is readily disassembled by pulling collar means 22 and wall means 20, 21 apart in opposite directions. Each of the three separate discrete parts is then washed, all of the surfaces of each part, both inside and out, being readily accessible for cleaning. The three parts are then readily assembled merely by engaging the pins 40 in the sockets 41 and slipping collar 22 over the engaging tubular semicircular rear portions 24, 25.

Description
May 26, 1964 A. B. CAMPBELL SUCTION NOZZLE Filed Feb. 23, 1962 United States Patent 3,134,128 SUCTION NUZZLE Albert ll. Campbell, len Ellyn, Ill., assignor to Campbell Products Company, Bensenville, Ill., a corporation of Illinois Filed Feb. 23, 1962, Ser. No. 175,699 Claims. (Cl. 15-422) The present invention relates generally to multi-part suction nozzles, and more particularly to a multi-part nozzle for use with a suction-actuated scalp-cleaning apparatus such as that shown in the present inventors application Serial No. 151,337, filed November 9, 1961.
In use the subject nozzle is connected by a conduit to suction-imparting means, and is utilized by a barber or hairdresser to clean the hair and scalp of a person whose hair has just been cut. This eliminates the annoying subsequent accumulation of loose bits of hair, dandruff, etc. on the shoulders and neck of the person whose hair has been cut, and without employing a hair-washing operation. The subject nozzle may also be used advantageously to remove such bits of hair, etc. which fall on the eck and shoulders during cutting.
Because a nozzle of this type is utilized several times daily and because each of the several daily uses is on the scalp of a different person, the nozzle must be thoroughly cleaned, both inside and out, before each use. In order for the nozzle to be thoroughly cleaned in accordance with hygienic standards, all of the surfaces of the nozzle, both inside and out, must be readily accessible to cleaning solutions and equipment.
Accessibility to the interior surfaces of an ordinary one-piece nozzle is difiicult. In the instant invention, the necessary accessibility is provided by constructing the nozzle of several readily divisible parts, all surfaces of which, both inside and out, are readily accessible for cleaning when disassembled.
Because pre-cleaning disassembly and post-cleaning assembly must be performed several times a day, and to prevent the disassembly and assembly operations from consuming too much time, the multi-part nozzle of the present invention is provided with means Which render the nozzle capable of disassembly substantially instantaneously, and capable of assembly almost as fast. The nozzle of the instant invention is constructed so that merely by grasping the nozzle at opposite ends thereof and imparting a slight pulling force, the nozzle will become separated into three discrete parts. The post-cleaning assembly operation, equally as simple and nearly as fast, will be described subsequently.
Other features and advantages are inherent in the structure claimed and disclosed, or will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view illustrating an embodiment of a multi-part suction nozzle, constructed in accordance with the present invention, being used in a scalpcleaning operation;
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the subject nozzle in an assembled condition;
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged, exploded perspective view of the nozzle of FIGURE 2, illustrating the nozzle in a disassembled condition;
FIGURE 4 is a side elevational view, partially broken away and partially in section, of the nozzle of FIG- URES 2 and 3;
FIGURE 5 is a sectional view taken along line 55 in FIGURE 4; and
FIGURE 6 is a sectional view taken along line 66 in FIGURE 2.
Referring initially to FIGURE 1, there is shown an 3,134,128 Patented May 26, 1964 embodiment 10 of a multi-part suction nozzle constructed in accordance with the present invention, and utilized for cleaning the scalp 11 of a person 12. Nozzle 10 is connected by a conduit 13 to suction-imparting means such as that shown in the present inventors application Serial No. 151,337, filed November 9, 1961.
Referring to FIGURES 2 to 6, the subject nozzle is shown to comprise three parts, a pair of wall means 20, 21, engageable to define a hollow interior, and collar means 22. When these three parts are assembled, the nozzle has the configuration illustrated in FIGURE 2. To disassemble the three parts, preparatory to cleaning the interior and exterior of the nozzle, collar means 22 is grasped in one hand, and the two wall means 20, 21 are grasped in the other hand, and the two hands are pulled apart in opposite directions along the longitudinal axis 51 of the nozzle. This results in an instantaneous disassembly into the three separate parts, as illustrated in FIGURE 3.
Collar means 22 is substantially cylindrical in crosssection and terminates at a rearwardly extending narrower portion 45 for connection to conduit 13. Each of the two wall means 20, 21 is substantially identical and includes semi-circular rear portions 24, 25 respectively, which, when the wall means are assembled, define a nozzle rear portion open at the rear. Each wall means 20, 21 additionally comprises diverging side surfaces 26, 27 and 28, 29 respectively, said surfaces diverging from the rear portions 24, 25 of their respective wall means. Also extending from the rear portions of the wall means are sloping surfaces 30, 31 on wall means 20, 21 respectively. Sloping surfaces 30, 31 terminate at a plurality of angularly extending front portions 36, 37 separated by notches 32, 33 respectively. Notch means 32, 33 and angularly extending portions 36, 37 cooperate to define suction openings at the forward end of the nozzle when wall means 20, 21 are assembled as shown in FIGURE 2. Each of the wall means 20, 21 includes matching peripheral edge means 34, 35, respectively, each of which engages the other when wall means 20, 21 are assembled.
Located on wall means 21 at opposite ends of notches 33 are pin means 40a and socket means 41a; and located on wall means 20 at opposite ends of notches 32 are pin means 40 for reception Within socket means 41a and socket means (not shown) for receiving pin means 40a when the wall means 20, 21 are assembled. The pin and socket means prevent movement of engaged wall means 20, 21 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, as well as in a direction transverse to both the longitudinal axis of the nozzle and the axis of the pin means. Collar means 22 peripherally engages the semicircular tubular rear portions 24, 25 or both wall means 20, 21 when the latter two are engaged, and prevents movement of the engaged wall means in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle.
To further facilitate accessibility to the interior surface portions of the nozzle, wall means 20, 21 are each provided with a cross-section, taken transverse to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle and at any location along the respective wall means, which is less than the complete cross-section of the assembled nozzle taken at the same location. This feature is provided because merely making the nozzle out of several divisible parts will not, alone, facilitate access to interior surface portions of the nozzle if the divisible part has a cross-section the same as the entire cross-section of the nozzle, and if this cross-section is relatively narrow in any given direction. For example, the cross-section of the assembled nozzle adjacent the suction openings is relatively narrow in the direction of the arrow 50 in FIGURE 2, and access to the interior surface portions of the assembled nozzle at this location is difficult. On the other hand, access at this same location,
to a divisible part (e.g. wall means 20 or 21) having a cross-section less than that of the assembled nozzle, is relatively easy.
When the nozzle is in the assembled condition shown in FIGURE 2, it comprises a diverging first pair of sides defined by wall means surfaces 26, 28 and 27, 29; a converging second pair of sides defined by wall means surfaces 30, 31; a substantially tubular rear portion defined by wall means portions 24, 25; and frontal suction openings defined by notches 32, 33 and depending portions 36, 37. Each pin means and each socket means is located adjacent the most divergent portion of a respective one of said first pair of sides, and adjacent the most convergent portion of a respective one of said second pair of sides.
The wall means is relatively thick at the locations of the pin means and the socket means and is substantially thinner along the entire remainder of the wall means in comparison to the thickness at the locations of the pin means and the socket means.
All parts 20, 21 and 22 of nozzle 10 may be composed of a non-rusting metallic material (e.g. stainless or plated steel) or of synthetic resin such as extrusion molded thermoplastic resins exemplified by Lucite (a methyl methacrylate polymer made by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Delaware), nylon (a longchain synthetic polymeric amide having recurring amide groups as an integral part of the main polymer chain), and Styron 475 (a high impact polystyrene made by Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan); these specific resins are capable of being cleaned in 30% formaldehyde without adverse effects.
Following a scalp-cleaning operation, the nozzle 10 is readily disassembled by pulling collar means 22 and wall means 20, 21 apart in opposite directions. Each of the three separate discrete parts is then washed, all of the surfaces of each part, both inside and out, being readily accessible for cleaning. The three parts are then readily assembled merely by engaging the pins 40 in the sockets 41 and slipping collar 22 over the engaging tubular semicircular rear portions 24, 25. Thus the disassembly operation is substantially instantaneous, and the assembly operation is nearly as fast.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, as modifications will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
