A47L7/0009
Surface cleaning apparatus
A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet head to a clean air outlet. The fluid flow path upstream of the separation stage comprises a removable portion.
CLOTHES CARE DEVICE AND CLOTHES CARE APPARATUS
A clothes care device is provided. The clothes care device includes a collection box, a suction pipe, a washing cover, and a spray nozzle disposed inside the suction pipe and provided in such a way that an end of the spray nozzle faces a washing port, and the washing cover mounted to the washing port and provided to be pressed against clothes. By operating a washing water supply in a state in which the washing cover is pressed against the clothes by an operation of a suction device, the spray nozzle sprays washing water and the suction device suctions and collects the washing water.
Extraction cleaner
An extraction cleaner includes a portable extractor and a base adapted to be moved to perform a cleaning operation on a floor surface when the portable extractor is operably mounted to the base. The portable extractor includes a recovery tank assembly provided on the housing adjacent to the recovery tank assembly.
NOZZLE FOR CLEANER
A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing having a suction flow path through which air containing dust flows, a first rotation cleaning unit and a second rotation cleaning unit located on a bottom side of the nozzle housing, the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit being spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction of the nozzle housing, each of the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit having a rotation plate, a driving device located in the nozzle housing, and a water tank located on the nozzle housing, the water tank being configured to store water to be supplied to the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit. The water tank includes a first chamber, and a second chamber spaced apart from the first chamber in the left-right direction of the nozzle housing.
Handheld extraction cleaner
A handheld extraction cleaner includes a unitary body provided with a carry handle, and further provided with a supply tank, a recovery tank, and a suction source, all of which are carried on the unitary body. The various components of the extraction cleaner can be arranged for a balanced weight in hand. The supply and recovery tanks are configured to optimize the usable volume within the tanks, among other functions. A powered cleaning head including a removable brushroll is provided on the unitary body.
NOZZLE FOR CLEANER
A nozzle for a cleaner has a nozzle housing including a suction flow path configured to allow air and dust to flow therethrough, A water tank is mounted on the nozzle housing to store water. The nozzle also has first and second rotation cleaning units arranged on a lower side of the nozzle housing. Each of the first and second rotation cleaning units include a rotation plate coupled to a mop. The nozzle includes a first driving device that has a first driving motor to drive the first rotation cleaning unit. The nozzle also includes a second driving device that has a second driving motor to drive the second rotation cleaning unit. Further, the nozzle has a water discharge port provided at a bottom of the nozzle housing to supply water in the water tank to each of the first and second rotation cleaning units.
Portable extractor
An extraction cleaner includes a supply tank, a recovery tank, a pump, a suction source, a base configured to support the suction source and the pump, an external hose, and a hose attachment assembly. The hose attachment assembly has a suction conduit extending from a suction inlet connected to the proximal end of the hose to a suction outlet in fluid communication with the recovery tank. The suction conduit is removable from the base with the hose. The hose attachment assembly also has a fluid coupling which is removable with the suction conduit. The fluid coupling extends from a coupling inlet in fluid communication with the pump to a coupling outlet coupled to a supply tube having one or more portions carried within the suction conduit. The proximal end of the hose is at least partially nested adjacent the base when the suction conduit is coupled to the base.
Brushroll for a floor cleaner
A cleaning head housing for a floor cleaner that moves along a surface to be cleaned includes a brushroll chamber defining a top surface having a top opening and a bottom surface having a bottom opening positioned closer to the surface to be cleaned than the top opening. A suction nozzle has an upper nozzle wall, a lower nozzle wall, and a nozzle passageway formed between the upper and lower nozzle walls. The suction nozzle is releaseably connected to the brushroll chamber to selectively cover the top opening of the brushroll chamber. A brushroll is positioned within the brushroll chamber and engages the surface to be cleaned through the bottom opening of the brushroll chamber. The brushroll is accessible through the top opening for cleaning while the suction nozzle is disconnected from the brushroll chamber. The brushroll is removable from the brushroll chamber other than through the top opening.
Surface cleaning apparatus
A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a liquid delivery system, a separator, a collection chamber in communication a the separated element outlet of the separator, and a separated liquid collection container downstream from the collection chamber.
Self-cleaning system and method for extraction cleaners
A cleaning tray is provided for docking an extraction cleaner, including upright or robot extraction cleaners, for self-cleaning. The cleaning tray may include one or more sprayers for spraying a cleaning fluid toward a suction nozzle, brush chamber, and/or agitator of the extraction cleaner. Systems for self-cleaning extraction cleaners are also provided.
