Dust suction apparatus
There is provided a dust suction apparatus comprising: a base; a side frame wherein the base and frame defines a dust suction space; a dust suction panel disposed in the dust suction space; and a dust-collection device air-communicated with the dust suction panel, wherein the dust suction panel includes a plurality of dust suction panel modules, wherein the dust suction panel modules are mounted in the dust suction space in a modular fashion to allow the plurality of dust suction panel modules to be removed individually.
PET GROOMING KIT
A pet grooming kit may include (a) a canister having a handle, a canister vacuum port, and a screen through which air can pass; (b) a base having a latch configured to releasably secure the canister to the base; a clip; a base vacuum port that is fluidly coupled to the canister vacuum port when the canister is releasably secured to the base; a filter; and a vacuum system that draws a vacuum through the vacuum port, the canister vacuum port, the screen and the filter; (c) a plurality of tools; and (d) a flexible hose having a vacuum-engaging end that is configured to be releasably coupled to the vacuum port and that has a vacuum-end power connection, a tool-engaging end that has a tool-end power connection and that is configured to either releasably secure one of the plurality of tools or be releasably secured by the clip.
Universal handle, grooming or hair collection tools, and methods of use
A system includes a universal handle and a variety of tools selectively secured within the handle. The tools can be tools for grooming or collecting hair, and are especially useful with animals such as household pets. One example tool includes a mat breaker that is adjustable for left handed or right handed use. Another example tool is a fur sweeper tool and a fur accumulator tool. Other tools include deshedders, brushes, and combs.
Agitator with disks
An agitator provided for a surface cleaning apparatus includes a dowel defining an axis of rotation and multiple disks extending radially from the dowel to a peripheral edge.
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.

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.
CLEANER
Provided is a cleaner including: a housing having a suction port configured to take in foreign substances; a motor configured to generate a rotational force; and a drum brush inside the housing and configured to rotate by the rotational force, the drum brush including: a drum body having: a collecting portion having an opening, a tapered portion having a diameter that decreases along an axial direction of the drum body toward the collecting portion so that, when the drum brush rotates, the taken in foreign substances move toward the collecting portion and then through the opening, and a hollow, a core shaft in the hollow, and a cutting member in the hollow and on the core shaft at a position corresponding to the opening so that the foreign substances moved through the opening are cut by the cutting member.
Pet Hair Comb and Hair Removing Method Thereof
A pet hair comb includes an installation shell body having an air duct, a grooming assembly, and a hair scraping assembly, wherein a relative movement between the hair scraping assembly and the grooming assembly allows the hair scraping assembly to scrape down the pet hair on the grooming assembly, wherein the pet hair comb has an air pressure adjusting port which is configured to be switched between an unblocked sate and a blocked state when the air duct is in a negative pressure state for sucking the pet hair, so as to adjust an air pressure in the air duct for facilitating the removal of the pet hair on the comb.
HAIR VACUUM SYSTEM
A hair vacuum system including a hair suction assembly having a container having a hair-intake-opening, a housing with an inner volume for storing hair, a hair-removal-opening, and at least one vent, a suction unit for vacuum suctioning excess hair during hair styling, a sensor for sensing hand movement to activate the suction unit, and a power source. Hair vacuum system provides salons and hair stylists with a vacuum device that eliminates excess wet, dry, cut, and/or dead strands of hair from the front and back of a hand of a stylist, eliminating the need to stop working on a client's hair in order to remove tangles around the hand and fingers of the stylist.
