20090126145 | Vacuum cleaner with sterilizing lamp - A vacuum cleaner for simultaneously cleaning and sterilizing a surface includes a vacuum cleaner housing, a plurality of wheels for supporting the vacuum cleaner housing on the surface, a main power switch for electrically connecting the vacuum cleaner to an external source of power, a motor coupled to the main power switch and a rotary brush coupled to the motor. The motor includes a suction fan. A UV lamp housing assembly is mounted inside the vacuum cleaner housing and urged downward toward the surface. The UV lamp assembly includes a UV lamp for sterilizing the surface at the same time as it is being cleaned. A UV light gasket assembly is fixedly mounted underneath the UV lamp assembly and includes a track of conductive material having a plurality of gaps and a plurality of interlock switches for closing the gaps, one interlock switch being associated with each gap. Each interlock switch includes a cap and an interlock contact of conductive material which is fixed to the cap. Each cap is movable between a depressed position where its interlock contact bridges the gap associated with the switch and a non-depressed position where its interlock contact is spaced from its associated gap. A compression spring on each cap urges the cap downward to its non-depressed position. When all of the gaps in the track are bridged by the interlock switches, the UV lamp is electrically connected to the main power source and is energized when the main power switch is turned on. The gaps are positioned on the track and the track is disposed within the vacuum cleaner housing such that tilting the vacuum cleaner in any direction relative to the surface or lifting the vacuum cleaner off of the surface will cause at least one of the caps to be moved to its non-depressed position along with its associated interlock contact, thereby disconnecting the UV lamp from the main power source. | 05-21-2009 |
