A straw cleaning device for cleaning drinking straws utilizing a motor for rotating a cleaning member for cleaning the inside and/or the outside of a drinking straw, the cleaning member optionally able to dispense cleaning solution about at least a portion of the drinking straw.

A rolling brush assembly includes a rolling brush having a rolling brush roller, at least two brush bars, and a protruding strip extending lengthwise along an axis. Each brush bar extends lengthwise in a longitudinal direction of the rolling brush roller. The brush bars are arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller with the protruding strip located between adjacent two brush bars. The at least two brush bars are fixed on the rolling brush roller in one of a flocking or an inserting manner. An engagement portion is formed between the brush bars and the rolling brush roller. A distance from an outer end of the engagement portion to the axis is less than a distance from an outer end of the protruding strip to the axis.

A floor cleaning machine having a cleaning element arrangement with inner and outer cleaning elements that include inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, that extend jointly in the cleaning body plane and have first and second receiving openings, respectively. The inner and outer cleaning elements extend from the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, away from the cleaning body plane to one side thereof. The inner cleaning body is arranged in the second receiving opening. The output shaft extends with an output shaft section into both the first and second receiving openings. First and second eccentric elements are attached to the output shaft section and to the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, so that when the output shaft is rotated, the inner and outer cleaning bodies perform eccentric movements that are phase-shifted with respect to one another.

The rotating lotion dispensing body brush is a brush. The rotating lotion dispensing body brush is adapted for use with a patient. The rotating lotion dispensing body brush is configured for use with a lotion. The rotating lotion dispensing body brush applies the lotion to the patient. The rotating lotion dispensing body brush comprises a brush structure, a control circuit, and a fluidic network. The brush structure contains the lotion, the control circuit, and the fluidic network. The control circuit pumps the lotion through the fluidic network. The control circuit rotates the brush structure. The fluidic network transports the lotion from the brush head to the patient.

This invention relates to an automatic vehicle wash apparatus employing one or more rotary cloth or foam rubber brushes, and more particularly to the way how the rotary brush to vehicle surface contact is managed using one or more encoders connected to the rotating shaft of each brush and one or more programmable logic controllers (PLC). The encoders, recording the revolutions per minute (RPM) of each brush shaft, provide input to the programmable logic controller. If the RPM value is at or above the high RPM limit, the pivoted boom will move the brush toward the vehicle to achieve a desired brush-to-washable surface contact. If, on the other hand, the RPM value is at or below the low RPM limit, the pivoted boom will move the brush away from the vehicle to achieve a desired brush-to-washable surface contact.

A vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner according to the present disclosure includes a main body and a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle includes a housing, a driver, a rotating brush, and a detachable cover. A pressing button is mounted in the housing. The detachable cover is rotated about the rotational axis of the rotating brush to be mounted in the housing. The pressing button selectively blocks rotation of the detachable cover.

A vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner according to the present disclosure includes a main body and a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle includes a main housing and a driver. The driver includes a motor and a transmission. The motor is provided behind a rotating brush. The transmission transfers rotational motion of the motor to the rotating brush.

An animal care or cleaning device has a brush (2) mounted on a brush shaft (16), drivable by an electric motor drive (36) to rotate the brush (2). The brush shaft is rotatably mounted in a bearing (14) provided on a support (4, 6), and has an actuator by which the drive (36) can be actuated as a function of contact of the brush (2) with an animal body. The bearing (14) has at least one shaft bearing (14) that holds the axis of rotation of the brush (2) in a fixed positional relationship to the support (4, 6). The drive (36) is driven by torque acting on the brush shaft (16) in one or other direction of rotation, caused by an impact motion of the animal body on the brush (2), and is carried along at most to a predeterminable dead stop on the support (4, 6). The drive triggers the actuator (42) for actuating the drive (36) during this motion.

A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaning appliance, the cleaner head including a main body supporting an agitator. The agitator includes a rotatable cylindrical body that bears an elongate agitator formation for engaging a floor surface as the cylindrical body rotates. The elongate agitator formation includes a first agitator row extending around the cylindrical body from a respective first edge L of the cylindrical body towards its centre C in a first helical direction and a second agitator row extending around the cylindrical body from a respective second edge R of the cylindrical body towards its centre C in a second helical direction that is counter to the first helical direction, wherein the first agitator row includes agitators of a first material and wherein the second agitator row includes agitators of a second material that is different to the first material.

A skin cleaner includes a case configured to form an accommodation space therein; a bracket configured to be accommodated in the accommodation space; a rotor configured to be rotatably disposed on the bracket; a rotation mechanism configured to be accommodated in the accommodation space and to rotate the rotor; an ultrasonic head configured to be disposed on the bracket and having a built-in ultrasonic vibrator therein; a vibration motor configured to be accommodated in the accommodation space and to vibrate the bracket; a plurality of brush units having magnets disposed on a surface facing the case and configured to be selectively disposed on the rotor; and a sensor configured to be accommodated in the accommodation space and to detect the magnet.
