Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for removing fleas or lice from animals, in particular pets in the broadest sense of the word.
- the apparatus according to the invention can be connected to a source of suction, for example a vacuum cleaner, and fleas or lice can be collected by means of the comb or brush, whereafter they are sucked up, pass the open non-return valve and are collected in the receptacle, where they are firmly clamped to the walls of the mesh, i.e. they cannot escape while the suction flow is maintained.
- a source of suction for example a vacuum cleaner
- fleas or lice can be collected by means of the comb or brush, whereafter they are sucked up, pass the open non-return valve and are collected in the receptacle, where they are firmly clamped to the walls of the mesh, i.e. they cannot escape while the suction flow is maintained.
- the source of suction is switched off and the suction flow drops out the non-return valve closes and the fleas are locked within the receptacle.
- the full and closed receptacle can be removed and replaced by a new one
- Figs. 1 and 2 are cutaway cross-sectional side-views of a first embodiment of the apparatus with closed and open non-return valve, respectively;
- Fig. 3 is a side-view of the brush or comb in the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2;
- Figs. 4 and 5 are side-views, corresponding to Figs. 1 and 2, of a second, preferred embodiment of the apparatus; and Fig. 6 schematically shows the grip coupling with which the apparatus can be connected to the tube of a vacuum cleaner.
- the apparatus for removing fleas and the like from the furs of pets comprises a flexible hose 10 having one end connected to a pipe 2 by means of a detachable screw coupling 4.
- the pipe 2 extends through a stopper 3 of rubber, cork or a similar resilient material for sealing the connection of the attachment to the suction tube 11 of a vacuum cleaner or other apparatus with which a reduced pressure can be created.
- the relevant end of the pipe 2 is provided with a screw coupling 2a for detachably attaching a mesh unit 1 in the form of a fine-meshed receptacle.
- the receptacle 1 is provided with a non-return valve 5 which is biased into the closed position by means of a spring 9.
- the other end of the hose 10 comprises a screw coupling 8 for connecting a comb or brush 6, which is provided with suction openings 6b between the teeth or the brush hairs.
- a suction opening 7 is provided through which fleas can be sucked up from places which are difficult to reach with the comb or brush.
- the mesh unit 1 is mounted directly in the handle 6c of the comb or brush 6, for example by means of a screw coupling 2a.
- the non-return valve in this embodiment is a poppet valve 5 which is biased into the closed position by a coil spring 9.
- the handle 6c is connected to the flexible hose 10 by a swivel coupling, which is shown as a ball-and-socket joint 4a, which hose 10 can be coupled to a tube 11 of a vacuum cleaner by means of a grip coupling 12.
- a swivel coupling which is shown as a ball-and-socket joint 4a, which hose 10 can be coupled to a tube 11 of a vacuum cleaner by means of a grip coupling 12.

Abstract
Appareil adapté pour se raccorder au côté aspiration d'un aspirateur ou d'une autre source de vide partiel, et destiné à débarrasser les animaux, notamment les animaux domestiques au sens le plus large du terme, de leurs puces et poux, ou analogue. On peut associer audit appareil une brosse, un peigne (6) ou un objet semblable et le passer dans le pelage de l'animal de sorte qu'il en déloge les poux ou analogue. Ledit appareil comporte un récipient à maillage (1) muni d'un clapet antiretour (5) apte à être ouvert par un flux d'air contrant l'action d'un ressort de rappel (9).
