HAIR TREATMENT STRUCTURE USED IN A CLEANING DEVICE
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.
Electrostatic bodily particle collection device
An apparatus for collecting hair and other bodily particles using static electricity. Preferably the apparatus comprises a base, a cylinder disposed on the base capable of holding a static electrical charge, a brush disposed on the base such that its bristles are in electrostatic contact with the cylinder, and a cylinder rotation device capable of rotating the cylinder against the brush. Various embodiments of the apparatus include various: numbers, orientations and shapes of brushes; securing devices; types of motors; vacuum ports; mats; and containers.

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.
VACUUM CLEANER
Disclosed is a vacuum cleaner with a drum brush. The vacuum cleaner includes: a cleaner body configured to generate suction power; and a foreign object suctionor configured to suck foreign objects by the suction power. The foreign object suctionor includes a cylindrical drum brush and a drum support configured to house a part of the drum brush and rotatably support the drum brush. The drum support includes a drum housing part configured to have a shape corresponding to an outer circumferential surface of the housed drum brush, a scraper configured to be provided in the drum housing part to remove foreign objects attached to the drum brush, and a foreign object stopper configured to be provided in one area of the drum housing part at a predetermined inflow blocking distance along a rotation direction of the drum brush from the scraper. As a result, the vacuum cleaner may effectively prevent the drum brush and the scraper from being abraded or damaged by rotating with the drum brush without removing certain foreign objects.
AGITATOR FOR A SURFACE TREATMENT APPARATUS AND A SURFACE TREATMENT APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME
A surface cleaning head includes a housing having a front side and back side, a brush roll rotatably mounted to the housing within a suction conduit and having at least a portion proximate the opening of the suction conduit, a leading roller mounted to the housing in front of the brush roll, and a drive mechanism operatively coupled to the brush roll and the leading roller for driving the brush roll and the leading roller at same time. The brush roll includes an agitator body and a first bristle/flap arrangement comprising a first deformable flap extending from the agitator body and a first bristle strip and/or row of tufts extending from the agitator body and disposed adjacent to the first deformable flap. The first deformable flap is disposed at an aggressive angle and the first bristle strip and/or row of tufts is arranged at a passive angle.
PET BATHING TOOL AND SYSTEM
A pet bathing system for use with a surface cleaning apparatus is provided and includes at least a wand override tool to allow for an easy-to-use pet bathing system. The system can be used for the bathing of pets via the application and subsequent extraction of liquid. The wand override tool includes a cleaning solution reservoir and couplers adapted to be coupled with a surface cleaning apparatus having a suction source and a cleaning fluid source and with a hand tool.
CLEANER
A cleaner includes a cleaner main body, and a suction unit connected to the cleaner main body to suck air containing dust, and provided with a brush assembly brought into contact with a floor, wherein the brush assembly includes a rotating rod rotatable in one direction, a brush portion protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the rotating rod to rotate together with the rotating rod, and a blade erected at the rear of the brush portion in the one direction to be adjacent to the brush portion, and brought into contact with the brush portion during the rotation in the one direction, to prevent foreign substances from getting tangled in the brush portion. This configuration may prevent foreign substances such as hair and the like from being tangled in the brush portion during an operation of the cleaner.
HAIR CUTTING BRUSHROLL
A surface cleaning apparatus comprising a cleaning head and a brushroll. The cleaning head includes a cleaning head body having an agitator chamber including an opening on an underside of the cleaning head body. The brushroll is rotatably mounted to the cleaning head body such that a portion of the brushroll extends below the underside for directing debris into the opening. The brushroll includes an elongated body extending laterally between a first and second end region, a slit opening extending between the first and second end region, angular stationary teeth extending proximate to an edge of the slit opening, and a cutting blade configured to be at least partially received within the slit opening and to move laterally between the first and second end regions. The cutting blade bar includes teeth that are configured to engage with the stationary teeth to cut hair.
Pet bathing tool and system
A pet bathing system for use with a surface cleaning apparatus is provided and includes at least a wand override tool to allow for an easy-to-use pet bathing system. The system can be used for the bathing of pets via the application and subsequent extraction of liquid. The wand override tool includes a cleaning solution reservoir and couplers adapted to be coupled with a surface cleaning apparatus having a suction source and a cleaning fluid source and with a hand tool.
Animal grooming tool vacuum housing attachment
A vacuum housing attachment used with a animal grooming tool for vacuuming loose fur and hair as an animal is groomed The housing attachment includes an inverted “U” shaped tool housing. The tool housing includes an open bottom portion, a closed first end portion and an open second end portion. The open second end portion is adapted for receiving the grooming tool therethrough. The tool housing is adapted for holding the grooming tool in a snug fit. Attached to a rear portion of the tool housing is a hollow handle. One end of the hollow handle includes a vacuum intake port for receiving the fur or hair from an animal, as the animal is being groomed. An opposite end of the hollow handle includes a vacuum exit port adapted for attachment to a vacuum tube.
