Abstract: A motor stall protection circuit is provided for use with an alternating current motor having at least one field winding and a rotor coil winding. A sensed voltage is taken from across at least one of the field coils. This sensed voltage is connected to one or more relays or the like for interrupting power supply to the motor if an excessive voltage across the field coil is detected. The circuit can include a relay and indication means configured to both interrupt the power supply and to provide an indication of both a normal state and an interrupted state.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a cyclone separator and an electrostatic precipitator downstream of the cyclone separator in the air fl ow path through the vacuum cleaner. The electrostatic precipitator includes a washable filter element enclosed in a housing that is removable from the vacuum cleaner as a unit. The housing protects a user from contact with the dirty filter element and has water inlet and outlet openings through which water can be directed to flush dirt from the filter element.

Abstract: A blade for use with a housing to comprise a motor driven pump to be used to pump fluids. In particular, the blade is particularly useful because of high efficiencies in vacuum pumps, particularly, household vacuum cleaners having motors which may be advantageously powered using batteries. The blade involves a pair of generally conical walls enclosing therebetween a plurality of fluid flow passages. The fluid flow passages are defined in part by vanes extending between the two generally conical walls. The blade has a generally axial inlet and imparts centrifugal force to fluid elements. Because of the conical shape, the fluid moves in a direction having tangential components imparted by the vanes, radial components arising from centrifugal force and axial components because of the conical wall structure. High efficiencies are obtained by contouring the generally conical walls in different planes, including convex curves in planes containing the axis of rotation and concave curves in polar planes concentric with the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A domestic countertop water treatment apparatus comprising a water treatment reservoir which is at least translucent; a housing having an ozone source in flow communication with the water treatment reservoir for treating water in the water treatment reservoir; a carbon block filter and a water pump mounted in the housing, the carbon block filter and the water pump in flow communication with the water treatment reservoir for removing treated water from the water treatment reservoir and passing the treated water through the carbon block filter; and, a treated water reservoir which is at least translucent and is positioned downstream from the carbon block filter for receiving treated water from the carbon block filter whereby, as treated water is dispensed from the water treatment reservoir to the treated water reservoir, the level of water in the water treatment reservoir is visibly lowered while the level of water in the treated water reservoir is visibly raised.

Abstract: This invention relates to a thermoelectrical method and apparatus for measuring the concentration of a gas, and, in particular, a reactive gas (i.e. gasses that may be reacted to produce by-products and which produce heat or remove heat from a system as a result of the reaction) using the electrical resistance of a member upon exposure to the reactive gas. Examples of such gases include, ozone, oxygen, nitrogen or oxides of nitrogen, and the like. In the instant invention, a thermoelectric means is provided to generate a signal which is associated with a display to provide a readout of the concentration of the gas.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head comprises a casing having a dirty air inlet and a brush mounted above the dirty air inlet and moveable with respect to the dirty air inlet. The brush is pivotally mounted to the casing by a pivot member at a position forward of the brush. The pivot member transmits force generated by the rotation of the brush to the casing thereby reducing the required offsetting upward biasing force and permitting effective floating of brush in the vacuum cleaner head.
