Abstract: A combination carpet vacuum, cleaning, and dyeing apparatus comprises a powerbase unit which houses vacuum and water pressure systems, electrical circuitry, and mixing devices to supply a remote operator-controlled powerhead unit with various solutions of water and other chemicals. The powerhead unit carries a 24 volt D.C. motor and worm gear transmission which drives a pair of horizontal counter rotating brushes; a floating vacuum head; electronic circuitry; and selectable sprayer manifolds for carpet cleaning or dyeing operations. Switches in the pivotal handle of the powerhead provide the operator with manifold selection, motor control, and remote vacuum control. A clear plastic pick-up tube on the powerhead handle and a clear dome on the powerbase unit allow the extraction process to be observed. The powerhead unit is releasably connected to the powerbase unit by a vacuum hose, a pressure line, and an electrical cord.
