A surface cleaning apparatus has a rotatably mounted brush. The brush has a plurality of bristles which have a bristle radial length, a forward rotational side and a rearward rotational side in a direction of rotation of the brush. A trailing hair blocking member is provided adjacent the rearward rotational side of the bristles, the trailing hair blocking member having a trailing hair blocking radial length, wherein in a plane transverse to the axis of rotation, the trailing hair blocking radial length of the trailing hair blocking member is proximate the bristle length, whereby the trailing hair blocking member interacts with the floor during rotation of the brush.

Disclosed is a cleaner. A cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a brush; and a removal member that is positioned adjacent to the brush. The brush is rotated to collect garbage, such as hair, located on a floor surface. The collected garbage, such as hair, may be pushed by the removal member and separated from the brush. The garbage, such as hair, separated from the brush may pass through a nozzle housing and may then be collected in a dust bin. Therefore, the garbage, such as hair, attached to the brush can be easily separated and collected without a separate removal process. Accordingly, user convenience can be improved.

A pet cleaning and treatment system has a variety of operating modes, including vacuum, washing, drying, dual vacuum and drying, misting, discharge, internal cleaning and refill and reset. Different modes may be selected and initiated by a user through a control interface which is in one embodiment an interactive interface on a touchscreen of a smartphone or a pad device, and in another embodiment a voice activated unit through which the user may select modes and control functions by voice commands. There is a hand-held application instrument connected by flexible tubings to supply heated water, vacuum and mist as needed.

A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner, the cleaner head having a housing defining a suction chamber comprising an outlet, and an agitator element mounted to the housing for rotation about a first axis such that the agitator comprises a first, free end and a second end. The housing comprises at least one rib extending within the housing along a helical, spiral, or angled path, the rib contacting the agitator element, such that, in use, hair picked up by the agitator element is moved axially towards the first end by the at least one rib as the agitator element rotates.

A rotatable agitator is used in a surface clearing head of a surface cleaning apparatus. The agitator is coupled to the cleaning head at least partially within an agitator chamber and is rotated about a pivot axis. The agitator includes an elongated agitator body and a hair migration portion. The hair migration portion includes a continuous row of bristles and a sidewall. The continuous row of bristles and sidewall are at least partially revolved around and extend along at least a portion of the pivot axis from one of a collection area or a first end region of the agitator and either another collection area or a second end region of the agitator. The sidewall extends substantially parallel to the continuous row of bristles within the hair migration portion. The continuous row of bristles and sidewall are configured to reduce hair from becoming entangled in the bristles and to migrate hair towards the collection area or the first end region of the agitator.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner and a cleaner system, the cleaner including a dust bin, a suction part configured to guide air into the dust bin, a suction motor configured to generate a suction force so that air is sucked through the suction part, a cyclone part configured to separate dust from air by generating a cyclone flow in the air sucked through the suction part, and a filter part configured to filter air discharged from the cyclone part, in which the filter part includes a filter body disposed in the dust bin and having an outer periphery along which the cyclone flow is generated, and filter holes configured to guide air into the filter body, and in which the air is introduced into the filter body through the filter holes in a state in which the air is inclined in a reverse direction to a flow direction of the cyclone flow generated at an inlet side of the filter hole, thereby preventing hairs from being caught by the filter holes.

A cleaner is disclosed. A dust storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a winding member. The winding member rotates in the dust storage container to wind debris having a shape which is thin, long, and compressible, such as fur of an animal or fiber introduced into the dust storage container. Accordingly, a space occupied by the debris in the form of fur or fiber in the dust storage container is reduced. Therefore, the dust storage container can receive a large amount of debris so as to increase an operable time of the cleaner. Consequently, the convenience of a user can be improved.

A cleaning device for removing hair and/or fibrous debris from a surface or crevice being cleaned is disclosed herein. The cleaning device includes a device body portion, a first end of the device body portion being oppositely disposed relative to a second end of the device body portion; and an elongated rod disposed across a portion of an aperture at the second end of the device body portion, a first end of the elongated rod being oppositely disposed relative to a second end of the elongated rod, 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 vacuum cleaner capable of preventing hair or foreign substance from accumulating by improving a structure of a roller mounted on an intake nozzle. The vacuum cleaner includes an intake nozzle, including an intake path, useable to clean a surface by an intake force, and a roller device, which is rotatable, to be arranged in the intake nozzle. The roller device includes a roller having a surface inclined at a first angle, and a rotation shaft configured to support the roller, the rotation shaft being at a second angle equal to the first angle at which the surface is inclined.
