A vehicle having an on-board vacuum includes an interior trim quarter side panel assembly disposed adjacent a third row of seats, and an on-board central vacuum system integrated into the interior trim quarter panel assembly. The interior trim quarter side panel assembly includes an outermost surface, an armrest portion positioned between an inboard sidewall and an outboard sidewall of the interior trim quarter panel assembly, and generally sloping toward an interior floor of the vehicle, and a handle pocket defining an opening in the armrest portion and a cavity below the outermost surface. The on-board central vacuum system includes a vacuum hose coupled to a vacuum motor assembly, and a vacuum nozzle handle coupled to the vacuum hose and nestingly received within the handle pocket such that in a stowed position within the handle pocket cavity, the vacuum nozzle handle is located at or below the outermost surface.

A debris canister and filter assembly, which may be used in a vehicular vacuum cleaner, includes a debris canister having an inlet, an outlet, and a peripheral side wall. The peripheral side wall at least partially defines an interior space of the debris canister. A filter is disposed in the interior space of the debris canister, and includes filter media having a non-pleated portion and a pleated portion. The peripheral side wall forms a corner of the debris canister, and the filter media has a rounded-corner shaped to fit adjacent to the corner of the peripheral side wall.

An air conditioning device for a vehicle includes a main body, a blower provided in the main body, a suction part connected to one side of the main body to draw in outdoor air, and an exhaust part connected to the suction part to exhaust air.

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.

A vehicle has: a communicating portion that communicates a passenger compartment interior with a passenger compartment exterior; a discharging device that, by operating, discharging at least one of dust or liquid which is within the passenger compartment through the communicating portion to the passenger compartment exterior; and a control section that, in a case of judging that there are no vehicle occupants within the passenger compartment, operates the discharging device, and causes dust within the passenger compartment to be discharged to the passenger compartment exterior.

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.

An on-board central vacuum system for a vehicle is provided. The on-board central vacuum system includes a vacuum motor assembly, a vacuum hose fluidly connected to a vacuum nozzle handle and interior trim. The interior trim has an armrest portion and includes a handle pocket that defines an opening. The handle pocket defines a cavity that projects below an outermost surface of the interior trim and nestingly accepts the vacuum nozzle handle in a recessed and stowed position relative to the outermost surface.

A retractable sanitizing apparatus for a vehicle including a return station, a sanitizing mechanism positionable between a first sanitizing position, a second sanitizing position, and a stowed position, the sanitizing mechanism positioned at the return station when in the stowed position, and a linkage member connecting the sanitizing mechanism to the return station and positioning the sanitizing mechanism between the first sanitizing position and the second sanitizing position, wherein the sanitizing mechanism sanitizes a surface of the vehicle as the sanitizing mechanism moves from the first sanitizing position to the second sanitizing position and across the surface of the vehicle.

The invention relates to the use of a suction-cleaning attachment of a cleaning device for cleaning the interior of motor vehicles by means of a suction airflow, having a housing which has a suction duct for conducting the suction airflow, there being in the housing in addition to the suction duct a compressed air duct for conducting a compressed airflow, and/or the housing being assigned in addition to the suction duct a compressed air duct for conducting a compressed airflow, and a grip region for gripping the suction-cleaning attachment with one hand being provided on the outside of the housing. According to the invention, a switch for controlling the compressed airflow is provided, and the switch is arranged on the grip region such that the switch can be operated by the hand holding the grip region.

A vacuum tool that is removably couplable to a hose or wand of a vacuum.
