An integrated vacuum and inflator device includes a housing, a first hose wrapped around the housing and a second hose wrapped around the housing. A first motor is included within the housing that provides a vacuum and is connectable with respect to the first hose. A second motor is also included within the housing and provides inflation and is connectable with respect to the second hose.

A vacuum tool configured to be removably coupled to hose or wand of a vacuum includes a body including a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The vacuum tool also includes a head coupled to the first end of the body, a connection portion coupled to the second end of the body and configured to couple the body to a hose or wand of a vacuum cleaner, and a brush coupled to the head. The brush includes an elongate support defining a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and configured to couple the brush to the head, and a plurality of bristles positioned on the elongate support.

Systems and methods are directed to automated cleaning systems for vehicles. In one example, a vehicle is provided that includes a drive system, a passenger cabin, and a vehicle cleaning system. The vehicle cleaning system includes a vacuum unit and a robotic manipulator. The robotic manipulator includes an arm including a plurality of arm sections and a gripper unit positioned at a distal end of the arm. The robotic manipulator is connected to the vacuum unit such that the arm provides a vacuum path between the vacuum unit and the gripper unit.

Systems and methods are directed to automated delivery systems. In one example, a vehicle is provided including a drive system, a passenger cabin; and a delivery service pod provided relative to the passenger cabin. The delivery service pod includes an access unit configured to allow for loading and unloading of a plurality of delivery crates into the delivery service pod. The delivery service pod further includes a conveyor unit comprising multiple delivery crate holding positions, the delivery crate holding positions being defined by neighboring sidewalls spaced apart within the delivery service pod such that a respective delivery crate of the plurality of delivery crates can be positioned between neighboring sidewalls, wherein the conveyor unit is configured to be rotated to align each of the delivery crate holding positions with the access unit.

A vacuum cleaner assembly configured to be mounted in sleeper cab truck. The vacuum cleaner assembly includes a mounting bucket having a vacuum cleaner area having an angled surface and a hose storage area. A vacuum cleaner is disposed in the vacuum cleaner area and includes a collector module having a canister assembly and a vacuum module coupled to the collector module. The vacuum module includes a hose having an end, the hose extending from the vacuum module into the hose storage area of the mounting bucket. The mounting bucket is configured to expose the end of the hose through the hose storage area in any one of a plurality of arrangements to accommodate various mounting positions within the sleeper cab truck.

A central vacuum cleaning system includes an inlet valve mounted at various locations in a structure connected to the inlet end of a vacuum conduit. A section of hose is slidably mounted within the conduit and extends from the inlet valve for cleaning an adjacent area. A pair of seals within the inlet valve retains a nozzle handle mounted on the end of the hose in a stored position when the hose is in a retracted position and provides an air seal between the handle and vacuum supply conduit. A locking mechanism mounted on one embodiment of the inlet valves automatically locks the hose in a selected extended position when manually pulled from the inlet valve. A mounting bracket enables the inlet valve to be mounted at various locations in the structure and a pair of seals enables the inlet valve to be open to the ambient atmosphere.

A vacuum cleaner that can quickly be configured in various operating modes, including a standard-style upright vacuum, upright vacuum capable of cleaning under furniture, stick vacuum, handheld vacuum, and pod vacuum. An example embodiment is a surface cleaning apparatus that includes an elongated support member, a handle coupled to an upper end of the elongated support member, a vacuum module slidably and detachably coupled to the elongated support member, and a hose coupled to the vacuum module and expandable to accommodate lower and upper positions of the vacuum module along the elongated support member. The surface cleaning apparatus can further include a floor nozzle detachably coupled to a lower end of the elongated support member and the hose.

This invention discloses a mites-removing cleaning brush for automobile including a cover; an extension component connected with a first end face of the cover, wherein the extension component is used when a human arm cannot extend into a certain area; a transmission cavity arranged in the cover; a power linkage component is arranged in the transmission cavity, wherein the extension component is controlled by the power linkage component; a collection groove arranged in the cover. The present invention has a simple structure, and realizes efficient adsorption by knocking which is different from conventional cleaning modes. In addition, films are additionally arranged to isolate vibrated mites from the cleaned member, which prevent the mites from falling into the cleaned member again, so problems of the member to be cleaned not being completely cleaned after repeated cleaning are avoided.
