The dust cup assembly includes: a negative pressure device configured to suck and blow an airflow; a dedusting device configured to remove dust from the airflow; and a casing including a cup body with an open top and a cleaner cover disposed at the top of the cup body, in which the cup body includes a mounting frame and a dust collecting cup, the dedusting device is supported on a top of the mounting frame, the negative pressure device is mounted to a bottom of the mounting frame, and the dust collecting cup is covered outside the negative pressure device and connected to the mounting frame.

A vacuum cleaner includes a foot assembly having a suction inlet thereon, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction inlet to produce a working airflow there through, and a dirt container in fluid communication with the suction inlet and suction source. The foot assembly further comprises a body defined by a central portion and a pair of extension arms, a rotatable agitator on each extension arm, and a drive assembly configured to counter-rotate the agitators. The counter-rotating agitators are operable to cooperate with the suction source to direct dust and debris towards the suction inlet.

A method and apparatus are provided for coupling a first and second wheeled vehicle. The apparatus includes a first area with a stop to engage an undersurface of the first wheeled vehicle and a second area with spaced apart openings to receive wheels of the second vehicle. The apparatus also includes a hook member positioned between the first and second areas and including surfaces to engage a perimeter of the frame of the first wheeled vehicle. The method includes engaging a perimeter of the frame of the first wheeled vehicle with the hook member. The method further includes rotating the stop about an engagement point between the hook member and the frame of the first wheeled vehicle until the stop engages an undersurface of the frame. The method further includes positioning a pair of wheels of the second vehicle in the spaced apart openings.

A dust cup, a dust cup assemble and a handheld cleaner are provided and the dust cup for the cleaner having the negative pressure device comprises a base and a cup casing, wherein the cup casing has a non-closed annular cross section with an opening so as to define a dust collecting chamber having a non-closed annular cross section in the cup casing, the cup casing is disposed at a top of the base, a mounting space located outside the dust collecting chamber is defined between an inner-ring wall face of the cup casing and a top wall of the base, a top of the mounting space is directly opened, and a side of the mounting space is opened by an opening, and the negative pressure device is mounted to the mounting space via an opened portion of the mounting space.

The present invention is an apparatus comprising a cylindrical container having a lid with two openings, a first opening and a second opening. An elbow shaped pipe is attached at each opening, respectively, and fastened by metal clamps. The posterior end of the first pipe extends down 1.0 inches into the cylindrical container. The posterior end of the second pipe extends down 0.5 inches into the cylindrical container and is attached to a filter. The anterior end of the second pipe extends up from the second opening and is connected to a vacuum. When the vacuum is on, the suction mechanism and air flow inside the cylindrical container forces dust and fine particles through the filter and up through the second pipe into vacuum. The dirt and fine particles are collected into the vacuum bag or receptacle located inside the vacuum, while the small items remain inside the cylindrical container.

A handheld vacuum assembly for the capture and collection of small insects that includes a vacuum body defining a suction chamber, a motor operably configured to generate a vacuum downstream in the suction chamber, a funnel member defining a suction channel located downstream of the suction chamber and a suction channel area therein, a valve disposed within the suction channel that is configured to open and close to inhibit or prevent insects from leaving the funnel member, and a filter assembly disposed upstream of the suction channel, downstream of the motor, having a porous membrane member, having a filter cap selectively removably coupled to the porous membrane member and having a plurality of selectively removable strips disposed thereon and each having an adhesive surface oriented in a direction facing the distal tip of the funnel member.
