  • Pick-up head for surface cleaning apparatus
    Patent number: 4359801
    Abstract: A pick-up head for surface cleaning apparatus embodies a horizontal baffle extending between depending side walls of an elongated, downwardly opening chamber. Upper and lower horizontally extending air flow passageways are defined by the baffle within the pick-up head, with air in the lower passageway flowing over and contacting a surface to be cleaned. The upper passageway is restricted at its outlet to create a venturi effect as air passes therefrom. The venturi effect aids in drawing air carrying dirt and debris into the pick-up head.
