A base plate for a vacuum cleaner suction head is described, said base plate comprising a lower face, an upper face and a base plate channel open towards the surface to be vacuumed. The channel extends across the whole width of the base plate. The base plate channel comprises a front edge and a rear edge. The lower face comprises: a first surface which extends along the whole front edge of the channel and a second surface which extends along the whole rear edge of the channel, the first and second surfaces lying in a same horizontal plane. The lower face also comprises a front inclined surface extending from said first surface towards the front side. According to the invention, the front inclined surface is inclined upwards so that the front side is raised with respect to the surface to be vacuumed.

A fan blade cleaning assembly for cleaning a ceiling fan blade includes a sleeve that is elongated for sliding onto a ceiling fan blade. A plurality of brushes is each coupled to the sleeve and each of the brushes is positioned within the sleeve. In this way each of the brushes can clean the ceiling fan blade when the sleeve is slid thereon. Moreover, the plurality of brushes is strategically positioned to clean a top surface and a bottom surface of the ceiling fan blade. A hose is fluidly coupled to the sleeve and the hose can be fluidly coupled to a vacuum source to facilitate the vacuum source to remove the dust and debris from the sleeve.

A vacuum attachment for removing hair and/or fibrous debris from a crevice or surface being cleaned is disclosed herein. The vacuum attachment includes an attachment body portion, a first end of the attachment body portion configured to be connected to a vacuum hose, and the attachment body portion defining an air intake aperture at a second end of the attachment body portion; and an elongated rod disposed across a portion of the air intake aperture at the second end of the attachment body portion, the elongated rod including a plurality of protruding elements projecting outwardly from the elongated rod, the plurality of protruding elements being disposed at least partially around a periphery of the elongated rod and along at least a portion of a length of the elongated rod between the first end and the second end. A manual brush for removing hair and/or fibrous debris is also disclosed herein.

A cleaning apparatus includes a combing unit including a series of spaced protrusions or teeth extending into a cleaning roller for preventing build up and removing debris (such as hair, string, and the like). The protrusions extend along a substantial portion of the cleaning roller and extend partially into the cleaning roller to intercept the debris as it passes around the roller. The protrusions have angled leading edges that are not aligned with a rotation center of the cleaning roller and are directed into or against a direction of rotation of the cleaning roller. The combing unit and protrusions have a shape and configuration designed to facilitate debris removal from the cleaning roller with minimal impact on the operation of the cleaning apparatus. The cleaning apparatus may include a surface cleaning head of an upright vacuum cleaner or sweeper or a robotic vacuum cleaner.

An example of an agitator for a vacuum cleaner may include a body and at least one deformable flap extending from the body. The deformable flap may include at least one taper. The at least one taper causes a cleaning edge of the deformable flap to approach the body.

Provided is a pet brush capable of efficiently performing brushing and cleaning of fallen hair or the like scattered the surroundings or adhering to furniture without taking time and effort. A pet brush includes a head main body that is formed into a hollow shape and in which a connection port, which is connectable to a suction hose connected to a vacuum cleaner, and a suction port for suction are open, an elastic cleaning portion that is provided in the head main body and is made of an elastic body, and a brush member that is provided in the head main body. The brush member is supported by the head main body to be movable between a use position at which the brush member protrudes from the head main body and a storage position at which the brush member is stored inside the head main body.

A hair treatment structure used in a cleaning device including a cleaning device main body and a drum is disclosed to include two hair scrubbers set on the cleaning device main body near two ends of the drum, each hair scrubber including a supporting member and multiple soft and elastic hair-scrubbing components, a power drive connected with one end of the drum for driving the drum to rotate, the power drive including a housing and a driving member, the driving member passing through the housing and being connected to the drum, and a baffle provided between the driving member and the housing for blocking hair from entering the housing. The present invention is equipped with hair scrubbers at both ends of the drum to scrape away the hair and avoid hair accumulation.

A robotic cleaner may include a body, an agitator chamber within the body, an agitator disposed within the agitator chamber, a dust cup removably coupled to the body, the dust cup including a debris inlet, the debris inlet fluidly coupling the dust cup to the agitator chamber, and a shutter configured to transition between a cleaning position and an evacuation position in response to rotational movement of the agitator.

A robotic cleaner includes a housing, a suction conduit with an opening, and a leading roller mounted in front of a brush roll. An inter-roller air passageway may be defined between the leading roller and the brush roll wherein the lower portion of the leading roller is exposed to a flow path to the suction conduit and an upper portion of the leading roller is outside of the flow path. Optionally, a combing unit includes a plurality of combing protrusions extending into the leading roller and having leading edges not aligned with a center of the leading roller. Optionally, a sealing strip is located along a rear side of the opening and along a portion of left and right sides of the opening. The underside may define side edge vacuum passageways extending from the sides of the housing partially between the leading roller and the sealing strip towards the opening.

An agitator including an elongated main body configured to rotate about a pivot axis, one or more soft cleaning features coupled to and extending over a substantial portion of a surface of the elongated main body, the one or more soft cleaning features defining at least one channel, and at least one deformable flap disposed at least partially within the at least one channel and extending from the elongated main body. The deformable flap may extend beyond an outer surface of the soft cleaning features. The channel may have a generally U shape and/or V shape. The channel may be configured to allow the resiliently deformable flap to move front to back as the agitator rotates about the pivot axis.
