A pet grooming machine and a method for pet hair grooming is provided. The pet grooming machine includes a blower having a blower air-inlet, a motor unit, a blower air-outlet, and an air channel, a tank unit having a tank, a tank air-inlet, a filter, and an air-outlet. The blower and tank unit can be in either separated configuration or combined configuration. In separated configuration, the blower is separated from the tank unit and can be independently used for blowing. In combined configuration, the blower air-inlet and the tank unit are detachably combined and sealed. In combined configuration, the negative pressure generated by airflow driven by the blower is transmitted to the tank air-inlet through the tank and the filter. The blower is a portable blower, which can be held with one hand by the user for prolonged blowing on the pet without need for an external flexible hose.

A cleaning device includes a body having an inlet and an opposing outlet. Each of the inlet and outlet has peripheral edges. The body includes a hollow interior between the inlet and the outlet. The outlet is adapted to be connected to a vacuum cleaner or a handle and the inlet is adapted to make contact with a cleaning surface. The inlet includes a support member extending from the inlet peripheral edge. The cleaning device also includes an elongated member having a contact surface and an attachment surface. The attachment surface is formed within a channel which is coupled with the support member. The contact surface is adapted to come in contact with the cleaning surface. The contact surface includes a plurality of flanges extending radially throughout the length of the elongated member such that the flanges penetrate the cleaning surface to dislodge and collect debris.

A cleaning device includes a base member extending with a first distal end and a first proximal end. The first proximal end is at an angle relative to the first distal end. A support member extends between a second distal end and a second proximal end. At least one support flange couples the base member and the support member. An extension member extends from the second distal end. At least one teeth member comprises a contact surface and an attachment surface. The attachment surface is formed with an inner channel, and the inner channel is coupled with one of the first distal and proximal ends. The contact surface has outer flanges with an outer channel formed therein. The contact surface is adapted to come in contact with a cleaning surface such that the outer flanges penetrate the cleaning surface to dislodge and collect debris.

A self cleaning chair assembly for suctioning up hair as it is cut from a client includes a base, in which a vacuum module is positioned, and a chair. The chair is rotatably engaged to and is selectively extensible from the base. A tube is engaged to the chair and extends along a rear edge of a seat of the chair. A plurality of openings is positioned in the tube. An intake pipe is engaged to and extends from the vacuum module. The intake pipe extends substantially circumferentially around a lower end of the base. A plurality of apertures extends through the base and into the intake pipe. A hose is engaged to and extends between the intake pipe and the tube. The vacuum module suctions hair trimmed from the client from a surface proximate to the base, through the apertures, and from the chair, through the openings.

A dual-purpose blowing-suction machine includes a casing, an air suction opening, an air blowing opening, a dust barrel, an air duct, and a motor. The dust barrel is in communication with the air suction opening, and the motor is provided with an air inlet hole in communication with the air duct and an air outlet cavity in communication with the air blowing opening. The dual-purpose blowing-suction machine provides an inner cavity in the casing, and the casing is provided with an air inlet in communication with the inner cavity; and a front through hole is provided between the dust barrel and the air duct, a rear through hole is provided between the air duct and the inner cavity, and a baffle that switches opening and closing of the front through hole and the rear through hole is arranged in the air duct.

A pet grooming device comprises a housing, a blade assembly, a motor, a switch, a rechargeable battery module, a hair suction duct; the hair suction duct is detachably disposed on the upper housing, the hair suction duct has an air inlet corresponding to the blade assembly; the housing has two strip-shaped slots arranged at a right side and a left side of a top of the housing, the housing has two strip-shaped ribs; and the hair suction duct has two extensions at the front end of the hair suction duct; each extension has a sliding groove at the inner wall of the extensions. The present invention also discloses a vacuum cleaner with the pet grooming device. The pet grooming device of the present invention is simple and reasonable in structure design, and easy to operate, assemble and disassemble.

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.

An autonomous cleaning robot includes a drive operable to move the autonomous cleaning robot across a floor surface; a cleaning assembly configured to clean the floor surface; a receiver configured to receive an indication of cat activity in a cat box; and a controller configured to navigate the autonomous cleaning robot to the cat box to execute a cleaning mission in response to the received indication of cat activity.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a rotatably mounted brush associated with a dirty air inlet. A plurality of bristles extend outwardly from a radial outer surface of the rotatably mounted brush. A leading hair blocking member is provided adjacent a forward rotational side of the bristles, and a trailing hair blocking member is provided adjacent a rearward rotational side of the bristles.
