A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet head to a clean air outlet. The fluid flow path upstream of the separation stage comprises a removable portion.

An ergonomic vacuum-assist scraper tool has an arcuately curved head in which a scraper blade is mounted at either of a front position or a rear position, a handle or grip portion, and a tubular connector portion adapted to receive a male or female vacuum hose fitting. The head has a cavity defined between front and back walls, with the front and back walls converging along an arc to a mouth or slot opening. The grip portion is hollow and tubular, extending proximally from the head, to the vacuum hose-accepting tubular connector. A scraper blade can be removably mounted at either of the blade mounting positions. The tool is formed of upper and lower halves that snap together along a partition line.

A method and a device for scraping paint off from a surface and further configured with a vacuum cleaner for vacuuming scraped material. The device includes a cylindrical handle, a dorsal handle, a replaceable blade, a graduated shaped box, and a rotating adaptor. The cylindrical handle provides control and further includes a proximal end, and a distal end. The replaceable blade attached at proximal end of cylindrical handle for scraping paint off from surface. The graduated shaped box accommodates replaceable blade. The rotating adaptor integrated at proximal end of the cylindrical handle to adapt according to the size of the cylindrical handle to accommodate a vacuum hose attached with the vacuum cleaner and further allow full rotation of the attached vacuum hose. The replaceable blade is spaced apart from graduated shaped box in such a way that air from the vacuum cleaner flow between the replaceable blade and the graduated shaped box.

The object of the invention is a filtering device that can be coupled to a suction turbine (30) of the type used to suction pet faeces. Another object of the invention is the vacuum incorporated in said filtering device. The filtering device comprises an outer body (10) and a cartridge (20) that are partially disposed in the interior of the outer body (10) comprising an open front end (26) for suctioning the faeces (40) and a closed rear end (27), at least one opening (21) disposed on the surface (28) for the passage of the air flow (50) from the interior of the cartridge (20) to the interior of the outer body (10) and a filtering material (22).

According to one embodiment, a handy-type vacuum cleaner has a vacuum cleaner main body, a gripping part for use for gripping the vacuum cleaner main body, and a blower attachment to be attached to/detached from the vacuum cleaner main body. The vacuum cleaner main body includes an electric blower, a dust-collecting device, a main body connecting port, a suction air path, and an exhaust air path. The dust-collecting device stores the dust and dirt sucked by driving of the electric blower. The blower attachment is inserted into/extracted from the main body connecting port. The suction air path communicates between the main body connecting port and the dust-collecting device. The exhaust air path communicates with the exhaust side of the electric blower. The exhaust air path communicates with the blower attachment when the blower attachment is inserted into the main body connecting port.

Provided is a vacuum attachment for picking up an object. The vacuum attachment in embodiments comprises a hollow body with open ends including an intake end as well as a vacuum-side end. The vacuum-side end is sized and configured to removably attach to an intake port of a vacuum source. A channel is formed within the hollow body and extends along a longitudinal axis of the hollow body from the vacuum-side end to the intake end. A filter is disposed within the channel, transverse to the longitudinal axis of the hollow body, and adjacent to, but offset from, the intake end of the hollow body so as to form a lip surrounding the filter. The filter is fixedly attached to an inner surface of the hollow body. In some embodiments, the filter is configured to pass solid particulates but to block objects larger than solid particulates.

An example method to remove build material from a container is described. In that example a pulsed gas flow may be induced in a conduit to aspirate build material in pulses from the container.

A fan blade cleaning assembly for cleaning a ceiling fan blade includes a sleeve that is elongated for sliding onto a ceiling fan blade. A plurality of brushes is each coupled to the sleeve and each of the brushes is positioned within the sleeve. In this way each of the brushes can clean the ceiling fan blade when the sleeve is slid thereon. Moreover, the plurality of brushes is strategically positioned to clean a top surface and a bottom surface of the ceiling fan blade. A hose is fluidly coupled to the sleeve and the hose can be fluidly coupled to a vacuum source to facilitate the vacuum source to remove the dust and debris from the sleeve.

The ceiling fan blade cleaning vacuum attachment may comprise a housing, an upper brush, a lower brush, and a pneumatic brush motor. The ceiling fan blade cleaning vacuum attachment may clean an individual blade selected from a plurality of blades of a ceiling fan. A vacuum hose coupled to a vacuum cleaner may be separably couple to a neck of the housing. The individual blade may be inserted into a blade slot of the housing. Suction generated by the vacuum cleaner may draw air through the blade slot and through the neck of the housing. The air may turn a turbine rotor of the pneumatic brush motor, which may drive the upper brush and the lower brush 256 to sweep the individual blade.

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.
