In general, the present disclosure is directed to a hand-held surface cleaning device that includes a relatively compact form-factor to allow users to store the same in a nearby location (e.g., in a drawer, in an associated charging dock, on a table top) for easy access to perform relatively small cleaning tasks that would otherwise require retrieving a full-size vacuum from storage. A hand-held surface cleaning device consistent with aspects of the present disclosure includes a body (or body portion) with a motor, power source and dust cup disposed therein. The body portion also functions as a handgrip to allow the hand-held surface cleaning device to be operated by one hand, for example.

A vacuum cleaner includes a suction nozzle including a housing that defines an inlet, a first shaft disposed at a side of the housing, a driver configured to rotate the first shaft, a rotating brush that extends along an axis and is configured to, based on rotation of the first shaft, rotate about the axis to thereby move dust on a surface to toward the inlet, a detachable cover configured to rotatably support a first end of the rotating brush, and a second shaft disposed at a second end of the rotating brush and configured to engage with the first shaft to rotate the rotating brush. The first shaft and the second shaft are configured to contact each other and to define first contact surfaces that have a spiral shape about the axis and that are configured to transfer rotational force from the first shaft to the second shaft.

The vacuum duster attachment is a suction-based cleaning device. The vacuum duster attachment is a rotating device. The vacuum duster attachment forms a brush. The vacuum duster attachment simultaneously: a) dislodges particles from a surface; and, b) vacuums the dislodged particles into a dirt chamber for storage. The vacuum duster attachment comprises a vacuum structure, a brush structure, and a vacuum circuit. The brush structure attaches to the vacuum structure. The vacuum circuit installs in the vacuum structure. The vacuum circuit is a control circuit that controls the operation of the vacuum duster attachment.

Vacuum cleaner head (100) comprising a bottom sole (10) and wheels (30, 35) defining the ground clearance of the bottom sole and comprising at least one suction duct (20) open toward the ground and converging from an outer edge of the bottom sole (10) toward a suction orifice (15) connected to the vacuum cleaner, characterized in that the suction head comprises a sealing skirt (40) arranged around the periphery of the bottom sole (10), and in that the sealing skirt (40) has at least one opening (45) positioned opposite said at least one suction duct (20).

A vacuum cleaner comprises a cleaner main body configured to generate suction power; a suction unit configured to suck up dust and foreign substances by the suction power; a connection pipe configured to transfer the sucked dust and foreign substances; a connection unit comprising a connection pipe accommodator configured to accommodate an end portion of the connection pipe, a separation controller configured to separate the accommodated end portion of the connection pipe from the connection pipe accommodator, and a space configured to place the separation controller therein; and a power cable configured to supply electric power from the cleaner main body to the suction unit, and disposed to pass through the space in which the separation controller of the connection unit is provided.

A reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus includes a floor cleaning unit comprising a surface cleaning head, and a portable cleaning unit. The reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus is operable in an above floor cleaning mode in which the portable cleaning unit is removed from the floor cleaning unit and in a floor cleaning mode in which an upflow duct is received in the portable cleaning unit and defines the air flow passage upwardly through the portable cleaning unit to a cyclone chamber air inlet.
