FLOOR NOZZLE FOR VACUUM CLEANER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner where bacteria which is stuck to a surface to be cleaned and charged to be positive is hardly stuck to a rotary brush. SOLUTION: The nozzle is provided with: a nozzle case 2; a charging plate 16 arranged inside the nozzle case 2 and having an antimicrobial agent; a rotary brush 6; and a brush motor 8 for rotating the rotary brush 6. The material of the plate 16 employs a charged series on the side of negative charging compared with the material of the brush part of the rotary brush 6, and the plate 16 and the brush part are brought into contact with each other to charge the brush part to be positive. Thus, the bacteria stuck to the floor surface and charged to be positive similarly in general is hardly stuck to the brush part of the rotary brush 6 by utilizing electrostatic repulsion.
