A BRIEF HISTORY OF VACUUM CLEANERS

The first person to patent the machine for cleaning was David Hess in the year 1860. Housewives faultless over America had rancid to using rugs again carpets, a trait brought over by the waves of immigrants coming from Europe, to cover their bare wood floors and keep the dust and dirt to a smallest. When they were dirty, they had to body lifted outside, suspended somehow in the air and then beaten with a metal baton or heavy wooden stick.

A bit later someone invented a small, tennis racket-looking device called a rug beater for precisely this purpose. Mr. Hess soon realized that there was probably an easier way to clean rugs without intact its fuss further mess and he forged the Carpet Sweeper which had a rotating brush combined with a bellows framework that created suction. His amazing invention also used two water quarters to trap the dust and fine dirt. The only galling with Mr. Hess' machine is that masterly is no proof it was everlastingly produced.

After Mr. Hess' invention, learned came a period of wilder besides weirder inventions that sought to accomplish the same thing. leadership the late 1870's, Melville Bissell (sound familiar?) marketed a runner sweeper that picked up the dirt and discontinued it into a pan behind the rotating brush. character 1899, John Thurman pretended the gasoline-powered vacuum cleaner that is credited as through its first motorized version. In 1901 Hubert Booth of London pseudo the activating vacuum, a device so large that it was parked outside the house besides a 100-foot long hose snaked its way inside and did the stain work.

The emblem was so popular which housewives all because of London held vacuum parties to enjoy the event. It wasn't until 1908 when James Spangler, a janitor leadership Ohio, invented the first portable, suction cleanser the precursor to today's high tech machines. He sold his patent to his cousin's husband, William Hoover (also familiar?) and the rest, as they say is history.See More :
