Abstract

A cleaning apparatus is disclosed to include a housing, a conical receptacle fixedly provided inside the housing for holding an umbrella in an inverted and partially opened condition, a vacuum pump fixedly mounted inside the housing and connected to the conical receptacle for producing a negative pressure to suck in dust and water from the inserted umbrella in the conical receptacle, and a hot air blower installed in the housing for flowing hot current of air into the inside of the conical receptacle to dry the inserted umbrella.

1 . A cleaning apparatus comprising: 
 a housing,    a conical receptacle fixedly provided inside said housing and adapted to hold an umbrella in an inverted and partially opened condition; and    a vacuum pump fixedly mounted inside said housing and connected to a bottom side of said conical receptacle through a main subjection pipe and adapted to produce a vacuum to suck in dust and water from the inserted umbrella in said conical receptacle.    
   
   
       2 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a hot air blower mounted inside said housing and adapted to produce a hot current of air, and a hot air piping connected to said hot air blower for guiding hot air to the inside of said conical receptacle.  
   
   
       3 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a shoe cleaning unit provided outside said housing, said shoe cleaning unit comprising a box, a plurality of spring members mounted inside said box, a footplate supported on said spring members inside said box, a cover hinged to one side of said box and adapted to close a top open side of said box, and a suction pipe connected between said vacuum pump and said shoe cleaning unit for guiding a negative pressure from said vacuum pump to the inside of said box.  
   
   
       4 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said housing has a control panel electrically connected to said vacuum pump, said control panel having a set of operation buttons for controlling on/off and operating time of said vacuum pump.  
   
   
       5 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an umbrella rack mounted inside said conical receptacle for supporting an umbrella in said conical receptacle.  
   
   
       6 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said conical receptacle has a plurality of longitudinal guide grooves on an inside wall thereof.  
   
   
       7 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said conical receptacle has a plurality of stub pegs arranged on an inside wall thereof for guiding air.  
   
   
       8 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said conical receptacle has a plurality of a meshed fabric lining arranged on an inside wall thereof for guiding the flow of currents of air.  
   
   
       9 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said conical receptacle has a plurality of bristles arranged on an inside wall thereof for guiding the flow of currents of air.  
   
   
       10 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said conical receptacle has lines of triangular stub rods arranged on an inside wall thereof for guiding the flow of currents of air.  
   
   
       11 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said conical receptacle has lines of conical tips arranged on an inside wall thereof for guiding the flow of currents of air.  
   
   
       12 . The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a shoe cleaning unit provided outside said housing, said shoe cleaning unit comprising a box, a plurality of spring members mounted inside said box, a footplate supported on said spring members inside said box, a cover hinged to one side of said box and adapted to close a top open side of said box, a suction pipe connected between said vacuum pump and said shoe cleaning unit for guiding a negative pressure from said vacuum pump to the inside of said box, and a hot air pipe connected between said box and said T-bar for guiding hot air from said hot air blower to the inside of said box.
