Vacuum Cleaner Development History

In 1901, British civil engineer Booth visited a demonstration car dust collector in the United States at the Empire Music Hall in Leicester Square, London. This type of vacuum cleaner uses compressed air to blow dust into the container. Booth believes that this method is not clever because many dusts have not been blown into the container. Later, he went the other way. Using vacuuming, Booth conducted a very simple test: he put a handkerchief on his mouth and nose, and inhaled against the handkerchief, resulting in a layer of handkerchief. dust. So he built a vacuum cleaner, sucked air into the hose with a powerful electric pump, and filtered the dust through a cloth bag.

In August 1901, Booth obtained a patent and established a vacuum cleaner company, but did not sell vacuum cleaners. He mounted a vacuum pump driven by a gasoline engine on a carriage, went from house to house, pulled three or four long hoses from the window into the room to vacuum, and the company employees wore work clothes. This is the predecessor of the late vacuum cleaner.

In 1902, Booth's service company was called to Westminster Cathedral to clean up the carpet used for the coronation of Edward VII. Business has been booming ever since. In 1906, Booth made a small household vacuum cleaner. Although it was called "small", it weighed 88 pounds and was too bulky to be popularized.

In 1907, Ohio ’s inventor, Spangra, made a lightweight Small Vacuum Cleaner. At that time, he worked as a janitor in a store. In order to reduce the burden of cleaning carpets, he made a vacuum cleaner that uses a fan to create a vacuum to suck dust into the machine. Then blow into the pocket. Due to his inability to produce and sell, he transferred the patent to Hoover, a fur manufacturer in 1908. In the same year, Hoover started to manufacture an "O" vacuum cleaner with wheels, and began to mass-produce this type of vacuum cleaner. For this reason, Hoover was established, and its sales are quite good. The earliest domestic vacuum cleaner design was more reasonable and developed to There are not many changes in principle today.

In 1910, the Danish company "Fisker & Nielsen" (now Liki Advanced) sold the first Nilfisk C1 vacuum cleaner. It weighed about 17.5 kilograms, but at the time, it was well received by the market because it could be operated by one person.

The earliest designed vacuum cleaners were upright. In 1912, Winer Goering in Stockholm, Sweden invented the horizontal tank vacuum cleaner, thus becoming the founder of the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners have a history of more than 150 years.
