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.

The invention relates to a sweeper having a handle (2) and a sweeping element (3), a waste collecting reservoir (5), and electric suction means, characterized in that the sweeper also has electric blowing means (6), the suction means and the blowing/ejection means being selectively employed to suck waste into the reservoir or eject waste from the reservoir in an automated manner. The sweeper forms not only an automated waste suction device but also an automated waste discharging device, without it being necessary to manipulate the collecting reservoir in order to dispose of the waste.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a liquid delivery system, a separator, a collection chamber in communication a the separated element outlet of the separator, and a separated liquid collection container downstream from the collection chamber.

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 present disclosure provides a shaving device powered by a vacuum cleaner. The shaving device includes a shaver. The shaver includes a shaver shell, a driving motor, and a shaving blade; the driving motor is mounted in the shaver shell; the shaving blade is located at a front end of the shaver shell; the shaving blade is connected to the driving motor; the shaver shell is provided with an inclined support plate; the inclined support plate supports the shaving blade, and the shaving blade does a reciprocating motion along the inclined support plate. Compared with the existing art, the present disclosure adopts the vacuum cleaner to supply power, which enhances the use experience of a user and improves the hair clipping effect.

An upright extractor has an upright section moveably mounted to a surface cleaning head. The upright section has a wand and hose assembly and a liquid separator. The liquid separator comprises a solid collection chamber that is separated from a liquid collection chamber by a porous divider. The upright extractor is operable in a floor cleaning mode in which the handle is a driving handle of the upright extractor. The upright extractor is also operable in an above floor cleaning mode in which the inlet end of the wand is disconnected from fluid flow communication with the surface cleaning head dirty fluid inlet and an above floor air flow path extends from the inlet end of the wand to the clean air outlet and the liquid separator and the suction motor are provided in the above floor cleaning air flow path.

A mobile cleaning robot can include a body, a drive wheel, and a wheel stop. The drive wheel can be connected to the body and can be operable to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment. The wheel stop can be movable with respect to the body and the drive wheel between a stop position and a release position. The wheel stop can be engageable with the drive wheel in the stop position to limit vertical travel of the drive wheel with respect to the body.

The present invention is directed to a compact robotic device for spraying a biocide powder or liquid to a predetermined area for controlling the infestation by cockroaches and fleas. The compact robotic device comprises a robotic body that can autonomously travel to spray the powder or liquid. The compact robotic device comprises a cartridge containing the biocide powder, a spray head in fluid communication with the cartridge and configured to spray the powder or liquid over a surface and a pump coupled to the cartridge for affecting the flow of powder or liquid from the cartridge to the spray head.

An apparatus for cleaning earphones that includes a brush element, a positioning element, and a motive element. A brush element selectively contacts and removes debris from an earphone, and a positioning element supports the earphone in a desired position relative to the brush element. A motive element is configured to move the brush element relative to the earphone. A corresponding system and method are also disclosed and claimed herein.
