  • Patent number: 9279579
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner inlet door lighting device for illuminating the area directly in front of a vacuum cleaner wall mounted inlet. The lighting device includes LED's operated upon the opening of a rotatable door have a directional pattern for optimum illumination. The LED's are mounted behind the rotatable door to cause illumination when the rotatable door is open. In an alternative embodiment the LED's are remotely mounted using fiber optic cabling for direction of the light when the rotatable door is opened. When the rotatable door opens the area in front of the wall mounted inlet is illuminated so that the dirt and debris can be seen while being pushed into the collection container. When the rotatable door is closed, the illumination is turned off.

The inlet is mounted adjacent a floor so that an individual can clean a room by sweeping up the dirt and debris towards the present invention. The door of the inlet is then opened and the dirt and debris is swept into the present invention. When the door opens the motor of the vacuum cleaning system is turned on so that the dirt and debris is sucked into a collection container. When the door is closed, the motor is turned off.

The door of the inlet is then opened and the dirt and debris is swept into the present invention. When the door opens the LED's are illuminated and the motor of the vacuum cleaning system is turned on so that the dirt and debris can be drawn into a collection container. When the door is closed, the LED's and the motor for the vacuum cleaning system is turned off. A magnet is used to keep the door in the open position and a retainer to keep the door in the closed position.
