Patent number: 10039428Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner comprising a vac-motor for drawing dirty air in through a floor-engaging cleaner head on the vacuum cleaner, a separating apparatus for separating dirt from the dirty air, an elongate air duct for carrying air to or from the separating apparatus, and a suction wand which is stored on the vacuum cleaner and which can be connected to the separating apparatus via a hose as required to clean above the floor. The external surface of the air duct defines an elongate recess for receiving the stored suction wand such that the air duct partly surrounds the stored wand. This provides a compact configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: David Christopher James Newton, Stephen Robert Dimbylow, Peter David Gammack, Ian John Brough, Adam David Lambert, Simon Brian McNamee

Patent number: 8408869Abstract: A pedestal for a fan assembly includes a telescopic duct for conveying an air flow to an outlet of the fan assembly. The duct includes an outer tubular member having a first stop member, an inner tubular member located at least partially within and slidable relative to the outer tubular member, the inner tubular member having a second stop member for engaging the first stop member to inhibit withdrawal of the inner tubular member from the outer tubular member, and a mainspring rotatably mounted on the second stop member, the mainspring having a free end retained by the first stop member.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Blair Hugh Hutton, Adriano Niro, Alexander Stuart Knox, Ian John Brough

Patent number: 8051531Abstract: A cleaning appliance such as a vacuum cleaner includes a main body housing a motor and fan unit for generating a fluid flow. The main body also houses a removable pre-motor filter located upstream of the motor and fan and a removable post-motor filter located downstream of the motor and fan. It is beneficial to permit the user to be able to monitor the condition of both the pre-motor filter and the post-motor filter, and to remove and replace them as required, and so access to both filters may be provided. It is more important that the user checks the pre-motor filter as it gets dirtier than the post-motor filter. Therefore, the post-motor filter is not accessible or removable from the main body until the pre-motor filter is removed from the main body, by removing its housing.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Ian John Brough, Paul Dawson
