Wet and dry vacuum cleaning system
First Claim
1. A hot water extraction system comprising a vacuum container;
- a water tank for normally containing water up to a selective maximum operative water level therein under a vacuum condition and including a first hose interconnected to said vacuum container whereby a vacuum condition in the vacuum container provides a corresponding vacuum condition in the water tank;
a water extractor including a second hose interconnected to said water tank whereby a vacuum condition in said water tank provides a corresponding vacuum condition in said water extractor;
stationary flow direction controlling means stationarily fixedly disposed relative to the selective maximum operative water level in the water tank for preventing the water flowing into the water tank from the extractor up to such maximum water level under a vacuum condition from entering the vacuum container, said means being arranged relative to the extending disposition of such water level for controlling the flow direction of the vacuum induced flow into and through the water tank to travel substantially at inclined angles to such extending disposition of the water level;
a water applicator in proximity to said water extractor;
a line for the supply of water comprising a hose adapted to interconnect said water applicator to a conventional remote source of hot water supply; and
a valve for metering the amount of water supplied through said water applicator.

Abstract
A hot water extraction system including a water tank having means for connection to a container containing a vacuum motor and to a water extractor and a hot water applicator, the applicator having a connection for attachment to a normal faucet, a hose from the faucet passing through a chemical cleaning solution, and a valve for the emission of a predetermined amount of the water including the solution, the vacuum created by the vacuum motor in the container creating a vacuum in the water tank and thereby providing suction through a hose leading to the water extractor whereby the hot water containing the solution which has been emitted on to a surface such as a rug by the applicator is drawn into the water tank where it is accumulated until the cleansing is completed. There are deflecting means in the water tank whereby the vacuum from the vacuum container draws air from the water tank in one direction while the entry of the water from the extractor is drawn into the tank from another direction so that the said water does not enter the line leading to the vacuum motor. The tank may be so arranged as to be carried on a conventional vacuum canister and is detachable and storable when the apparatus is not being used as a hot water extraction system.
