Track cleaner

Abstract

A track cleaner, consisting of a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner, the suction nozzle including: a body, including an inlet and an outlet; a hinge disposed inside the body between the inlet and the outlet; and a plurality of cleaning elements extending from the hinge, for being tangentially rotatable in relation to the body, thereby the plurality of cleaning elements receive air flowing vertically thereto from the inlet to the outlet, and function as tangential blades, thereby rotate about the hinge, thereby sweep.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A track cleaner, comprising a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner, said suction nozzle comprising:
 a body, comprising an inlet and an outlet;   a hinge disposed inside said body between said inlet and said outlet; and   a plurality of cleaning elements extending from said hinge, for being rotatable in relation to said body,   
       thereby said plurality of cleaning elements receive air flowing vertically thereto from said inlet to said outlet, and function as tangential blades, thereby rotate about said hinge, and thereby sweep. 
     
     
         2 . A track cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said body further comprises a rear wall, for forming an air channel, for enhancing said rotation of said cleaning elements. 
     
     
         3 . A track cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said body and said cleaning elements are shaped for inserting said cleaning elements into a track for sweeping thereof, thereby said track forms an air channel, for enhancing said rotation of said cleaning elements. 
     
     
         4 . A track cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of cleaning elements comprise:
 central cleaning elements for sweeping within a track; and   side cleaning elements, being shorter than said central cleaning elements, for sweeping exposed regions of said track,   thereby said track forms an air channel, for enhancing said rotation of said cleaning elements, and   said short cleaning elements contribute to said forming of said vacuumed channel.   
     
     
         5 . A track cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said cleaning elements comprises a member selected from a group consisting of: a bristle, a wiping brush end, a sponge protrusion.
