Motor cover for wet/dry vacuum cleaner with vent openings

A motor cover includes a lattice structure defining a plurality of vent openings that provide ventilation of the motor cover. Each vent opening of the plurality of vent openings is defined by a first cross member, a second cross member, a first side member, and a second side member of the lattice structure. The second cross member is spaced vertically below the first cross member and the first side member is spaced horizontally forward from the second side member. Each of the first and second side members extend from the first cross member to the second cross member. The second cross member extends further outward from a central vertical axis of the motor cover than the first cross member, and the first side member extends further outward from the central longitudinal axis than the second side member.

Portable blower

Provided is a portable blower including a portable main body in which a pipe base portion of a blowout pipe is connected to an outlet port of a fan case, wherein, the fan case is formed of a fiber-reinforced resin of low specific gravity, the pipe base portion has a bent shape and is connected slidably to a pipe connecting portion of the outlet port, and a slide-contact-receiving member that is formed of a wear-resistant material is attached to the pipe connecting portion at a slide-contact point of the pipe base portion.

Vacuum

The present invention is directed to a vacuum including a dust extraction system. The system includes a filter assembly, an airflow generation assembly, and valve assembly. The airflow generation assembly is configured to draw contaminated air toward the filter assembly and exhaust filtered air as a discharge stream. The filter assembly is configured to remove contaminants from the contaminated airflow by capturing particulate material suspended within the airflow. The valve assembly is configured to selectively direct filtered airflow into the filter assembly such that the filtered air stream cleans the filter.

Surface cleaning apparatus

A surface treatment apparatus may include an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and a main body. A suction motor may be provided in the air flow path. A cyclone bin assembly may be provided in the air flow path and may be removably mountable to the main body. A pre-motor filter chamber may be provided and may have a rear wall, a sidewall extending and an openable front wall opposite the rear wall and sealingly enclosing the pre-motor filter chamber. The pre-motor filter chamber may be disposed longitudinally between the cyclone bin assembly and the suction motor and the cyclone bin assembly may be positioned in front of at least a portion of the openable front wall of the pre-motor filter chamber. The front wall may be accessible when the cyclone bin assembly is removed from the main body.
