A brief history of the vacuum cleaner or vacuum cleaner

A brief history of the vacuum cleaner begins more than a century ago when an American inventor named Melville Ruben Presell made the first thing closest to a modern vacuum cleaner. It had fairly ubiquitous spinning brushes and a large drum as a bowl and grip. It moved along the streets or pathways, as the rugs were normally taken outside for cleaning, the so-called "Carpet Sweeper" was then rolled up onto the rugs as it was pulled by a horse or two or a small buggy.

Then, in 1901, Hubert Cecil Booth, the British engineer, arrived. He invented the "Puffin Billy", which consisted of a horse-drawn carriage with an engine and a piston. He used the motor to pump the air into the empty car to create a partial handheld vacuum cleaner and suck in the outside air with a large nozzle. In 1906 he also introduced the more compact version of the "Puffin Billy" known as "Trolley vac". It was only 45 kg; a great invention at that age and time.

1908 sparked a new era of inventions, including James Murray Spangler's ingenious device, which introduced the use of pillowcases as air filters. James was a janitor but also asthmatic. So he decided to use this useful but simple machine to clean carpets without dust flying everywhere. James mounted a sewing motor in a wooden box, made an incision in the back of the box, and placed the fan blades through it. A broom handle made the handle and a leather strap made the on / off switch. The brushes on the carpet sweeper spun to bring dusty air through the wooden box and seeped into the pillowcase. He pulled on the leather strap to start the engine. But due to James' financial situation, he had to sell the patent to his close relative, William Hoover Boss. It began mass-producing the new vacuum along with James as its lead designer. The first HOOVER, as you know, was born. In 1930, after the Great Depressions Hoovers were upgraded to have an agile Bakelite body, convenient vacuum and electric suction systems, better aspiration efficiency, and increased overall performance. Revolutions entered the mass consumer market and continually rose to become one of the most important household items in the world.

The North American version of the Hoover was finally renamed VACUUM CLEANER as we now know it. Currently, there are basically five main types of vacuum that use the same suction and filtering principle as previous vacuum cleaners.

Upright vacuum cleaner:

1. Moved together with a handle.

2. The intake port draws in air with the help of an electric motor. The higher the motor power, the better the suction.

3. Air rises into the vertical chamber and dust is trapped in the porous air filters that cover the chamber.

4. Clean air is pumped through the exhaust port.

Canister vacuum

1. Smaller, lighter, and usually portable.

2. The air filters are placed just after the nozzle.

3. Other principles are the same as the upright vacuum.

Wet and dry vacuum cleaner

1. It looks big and round and dragged on small wheels

2. Air is taken in and passed through a spacious chamber (the bucket)

3. As the outside air enters the spacious chamber, the air slows down and the heavier particles of liquid, dust and debris fall into the bucket.

Cyclone

1. The main body has a container full of tubes.

2. The air is sucked and moved in spiral corridors at high speed.

3. This device introduces the use of centrifugal force to deposit the dust filter in the container.

4. The device may have more air filters for better competition.

Robotic vacuum cleaner

1. Use the conventional principle and suction and filtering, but the vacuum cleaner is basically a robot that works and cleans itself.

So now you have the complete and brief history of the vacuum cleaner or Hoovers. You can find many of the modern designs on the market with numerous brands, models, sizes, wattage and price tags. Choose the right one for your daily needs.
