Jonathan E Fawcett is a highly accomplished inventor from Tallmadge, OH (US) with four patents to his name. His latest patents include a self-sealing bag arrangement for a floor cleaning device and a dirt collecting system for a floor care appliance.
The self-sealing bag assembly is an innovative solution for a filtration bag that includes an air permeable bag and a collar. The collar has an opening that communicates with the interior of the bag and at least one panel that is movable to selectively obscure the opening. With a bottom surface and a pair of opposed tabs extending laterally from the opposite lateral edges, the collar is secured to the floor cleaning apparatus through a bracket that includes a pair of opposed legs, each with a first ramp surface and a second ramp surface.
Meanwhile, the dirt collecting system for a floor care appliance is another great innovation by Fawcett that features a downwardly pivoting lid for disposing of the collected dirt. It also has a latching arrangement for securing the pivoting lid into the closed position. A release member on the sidewall of the dirt collecting container is in operative engagement with a latching arrangement for releasing the pivoting lid from the closed position when the dirt collecting container is removed from the cleaner housing. The latching arrangement utilizes a slide member that traverses the underside of the pivoting lid, which is biased into the latched position by a pair of resilient members. A pair of torsional springs are also disposed in the hinges pivotally connecting the pivoting lid to the sidewall of the dirt collecting container to bias the pivoting lid into the open position when the release member is depressed.
Fawcett's expertise in the field has led him to work for several well-known companies, including Techtronic Floor Care Technology Limited and The Hoover Company. He has also collaborated with some renowned inventors like William H Theiss, Jr and Richard E Corney.
With his innovative spirit and dedication to invention, Jonathan E Fawcett has made significant contributions to the field of floor care appliances. His patents serve as a testament to his ability to devise unique solutions to everyday problems.
