Speaking of vacuum cleaner, in the present scenario, almost every household has this equipment. It helps families clean up their dwellings. It is cleaning up the easy and fast way.
Have you ever wonder how is it to live without a vacuum cleaner?
In the past, instead of a vacuum cleaner, homemakers used brushes and cloths to clean their house. They have the so-called 'spring cleaning' which is an annual clean-up habit. This one is more exhaustive compared to daily or weekly cleaning. This is because they do it manually.
The very first patent paper of a vacuum sweeper was on 1860. Said patent was in the name of Daniel Hess who is a resident of West Union, Iowa.
Hess' invention has 2 water chambers that seize dust and dirt. However, he called his invention a carpet sweeper not a vacuum cleaner. In this invention, it is said that the air is cleansed while it passes through the equipment. This principle is used by Rexair vacuums.
The very first vacuum cleaner came into the scene through its inventor Ives McAffey in the year 1869 in Chicago. It was a hand-pumped vacuum cleaner called 'Whirlwind'. You can find a replica of the latter in Hoover Historical Center found in Canton, Ohio.
His invention has most of the components of today's vacuum cleaner. The only lacking is the motor. McAffey has only incorporated a motor in the early 1900's nonetheless it did not flourish.
In the 20th century, several electric vacuum cleaners were introduced to the market to boost Industrial Revolution.
Cecil Booth, in 1901, invented a gigantic vacuum cleaner powered by an engine. It was so huge that it needs to be mounted on a cart. Booth's invention was a big hit. In fact, Queen Victoria was one of the inventor's customers.
Said vacuum cleaner was also given the credit for ending the English Plague in the naval barracks. It was used to remove dust and dirt which are causes of germs. Fortunately, said plague ended.
Since then, the idea of preventing the spread of germs has been adapted in the manufacture of vacuum cleaners.
The first electric version of Booth's machine was used in 1907. An electric motor was attached to it by Murray Spangler. He also attached fan motor, pillow case, wooden crate and broom handle to it.
One of Spangler's satisfied customers was the wife of William Hoover. The latter realized the machine's potential so he bought its patent's right. Consequently, Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Company came into being in 1908.
Today's vacuum cleaner brands such as Royal, Kirby, Electrolux, Eureka, Hoover and the likes have been traced to have existed in the early days of 1920 or earlier.
