Carpet Cleaning Fluid Injection Apparatus

Abstract

A carpet cleaning fluid injection apparatus for adaptation to a vacuum nozzle. The injection apparatus configured to surround the vacuum nozzle for purposes of injecting the cleaning fluid into the carpet in proximity to the vacuum nozzle and the vacuum nozzle configured for extracting the cleaning fluid from the carpet.

1 . A kit for attachment to a carpet cleaning fluid vacuum nozzle, the kit comprising: a plurality of hollow members configured to deliver pressurized carpet cleaning fluid, the members extending around the outer perimeter of the vacuum nozzle, wherein the hollow members include a plurality of apertures for controlled release of the pressurized carpet cleaning fluid into the carpet. 
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow members surrounding the outer perimeter of the vacuum nozzle are disposed substantially parallel to the surface of the carpet and are disposed above a bottom surface of the vacuum nozzle. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the apertures are disposed within the members for injecting fluid downwardly into the carpet and inwardly toward the vacuum nozzle. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the flow rate of the cleaning fluid through the hollow members is in the range of 0.2 to 2 gallons per minute. 
     
     
         5 . A carpet cleaning fluid injection device for outfitting a carpet cleaning fluid vacuum nozzle for injecting carpet cleaning fluid into carpeting, the device comprising: a fluid injection rig, the injection rig comprising a plurality of hollow members circumscribing the vacuum nozzle for delivery of the cleaning fluid, a plurality of downwardly and inwardly facing apertures within the circumscribing members for dispersing the cleaning fluid into the carpet, and a fluid delivery control apparatus for regulating the volume of cleaning fluid delivered to the carpet. 
     
     
         6 . The injection device of  claim 5 , wherein the hollow members are comprised of tubular construction and the diameter of the apertures is in the range of 1/32 to 5/32 inches. 
     
     
         7 . A carpet cleaning fluid injection apparatus comprising:
 an injection rig for delivery of carpet cleaning fluid to the carpet, the injection rig circumscribing a vacuum nozzle, the injection rig further comprising a plurality of hollow members for delivery of cleaning fluid each with a plurality of downwardly facing apertures for delivery of the cleaning fluid to the carpet; and a fluid delivery control device for controlling the rate of delivery of the fluid to the injection rig.
