A vacuum cleaner or a docking station has momentum separator having first and second sidewalls which are porous. A first air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a first end wall, which is spaced from and faces the first side screen, and the first side screen. A second air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a second end wall, which is spaced from and faces the second side screen, and the second side screen. In operation, air exits the momentum separator through the first and second side screens and travels through the first and second air flow chambers to the air outlet of the first and second air flow chambers.

A debris receptacle for a router table includes an enclosure configured to be attached to the router table. The enclosure defines an interior sized and shaped to receive a router. The enclosure defines a debris inlet aperture in fluid communication with a router bit aperture of the work platform so that the interior receives the debris from router bit aperture via the debris inlet aperture. The enclosure also defines a debris outlet aperture in fluid communication with a dust collector to remove debris from the interior. The enclosure further defines an air inlet aperture in fluid communication with air in an environment outside the enclosure. The debris receptacle also includes an air intake conduit for fluidly coupling the air inlet aperture to an air inlet of the router, thereby enabling the router to draw air into the router from the environment outside the enclosure to cool the router.

A cleaning apparatus is provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a driving device for generating suction force, a head member including a suction path into which external air flows by way of the suction force, a dust collection device having one end connected to the head member and having a dust collection chamber, an opening/closing member disposed to divide the suction path from the dust collection chamber, and which includes an opening that allows the suction path to communicate with the dust collection chamber, a cover member which is connected to the opening/closing member to provide elastic force toward the suction path and which is rotated by way of the suction force to selectively open/close the opening, and a stopper member, which protrudes from one surface of the cover member to come in contact with the opening/closing member or the cover member to restrict the rotational angle of the cover member.

A cleaning device comprises: a housing having a dust collection chamber; a main body, moveable with respect to the housing, to be coupled to the housing and to be decoupled from the housing, the main body includes a handle; a fixing device, arrangeable in the main body, to couple the main body to the housing to the housing while the main body is moved to a first position with respect to the housing and to decouple the main body from the housing while the main body is moved to a second position with respect to the housing; and a releasing button arrangeable with respect to the main body, and connectable to the fixing device by a wire so that while the release button is connected to the fixing device, the release button is useable to operate the fixing device.

An adapter frame for mounting onto a base, in particular a suction device, a system box and/or a roller board, and for receiving a particle collecting container for a cyclone pre-separator, where the adapter frame includes a rectangular underside and adapter frame peripheral walls extending upwards from the underside, and lower adapter frame couplers, designed to provide a releasable, vertically tension-proof coupling to the base when the adapter frame is positioned on the base. The adapter frame on its upper side has a container receptacle for receiving the particle collecting container, the horizontal inner contour of which tapers towards the underside, so that the container receptacle is able to receive and horizontally stabilise a particle collecting container having an outer contour tapering downwards.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a dual first stage cyclones.

A hand held surface cleaning apparatus comprises a generally spherical cyclone chamber having dual cyclone air outlets and dual dirt outlets.

A hand vacuum has a cyclone assembly which comprises a cyclone chamber and a dirt collection chamber exterior to the cyclone chamber. The cyclone assembly comprises a stationary portion and an openable portion. The openable portion is rotatably mounted by a rotatable mount between a closed position in which the cyclone chamber and the dirt collection chamber are closed and an open position in which the cyclone chamber and the dirt collection chamber are open. The rotatable mount is located at a rearward end of the openable portion.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing having an elongate axis (H) and supports a suction source, and a dirt separation device having an elongate axis (A). The dirt separation device includes a separator for separating dirt from dirt-laden air, and a dirt collection chamber for receiving separated dirt. The dirt separation device or a part of the dirt separation device is releasably connected to the housing. A passage member that transports dirt-laden air to the dirt separation device has an elongate axis (B). The dirt separation device is pivotally moveable relative to the housing to effect release of the dirt separation device.

A dirt separation device for a surface cleaning apparatus including: a separator for separating dirt from dirt-laden air; an inlet through which dirt-laden air is drawn into the separator; an outlet through which cleaner air exits the separator; a dirt collection chamber for receiving separated dirt; a cover member movable between a first position in which the cover member inhibits access to the dirt collection chamber and a second position in which the cover member permits access to the dirt collection chamber; an actuator device coupled to the cover member for effecting movement of the cover member from the first position to the second position, wherein the actuator device is rotationally movable, or an engagement part operably connected to the actuator device is rotationally movable, to effect movement of the closing member from the first position to the second position.
