A manure collecting vehicle includes: a manure collector having a manure collection port and at least one powered rotational manure conveyer to convey manure to the manure collection port as the vehicle drives through the manure; a manure holding tank in manure communication with the manure collection port, collected manure passing through the manure collection port into the manure holding tank as the vehicle drives through the manure; and, an air system to create an air pressure differential between inside the manure holding tank and outside the manure holding tank when the vehicle is driving through the manure to be collected so that the collected manure passes from the manure collection port into the manure holding tank under influence of the air differential.

A mopping extension attachable to a robotic vacuum. The mopping extension comprising, at minimum, a frame, a cloth, and a mechanism to secure the frame to the body of the robotic vacuum. The mopping extension may be installed in a dedicated compartment within the robotic vacuum body such that the cloth is dragged along the work surface as the robotic vacuum travels through the work area. In some embodiments, the mopping extension further comprises a means to automatically dampen the cloth to further improve cleaning efficiency. In some embodiments, the mopping extension further comprises means to move the mopping extension back and forth during operation to further improve cleaning efficiency. In some embodiments, the mopping extension further comprises a means to disengage and engage the mopping extension as the robotic vacuum is working.

A buckle mechanism of a dust collecting barrel of a two-stage dust collector is provided. The buckle mechanism is disposed on the two-stage dust collector, and includes a first retaining seat and a second retaining seat corresponding to one side of the dust collector, and a support unit is disposed on a barrel cover. The first retaining seat is pivotally connected with a linking unit. One end of the linking unit is connected to the support unit. The second retaining seat is pivotally connected with a control unit. The linking unit is driven to actuate through two connecting members. The control unit drives the linking unit to actuate. By the lever principle, the linking unit drives the barrel cover to move up and down so as to assemble and disassemble the dust collecting barrel quickly and conveniently.

A pet comb comprising a body partially housing a pet engagable portion and housing a lifter coupled to a biasing member. The lifter configured to move responsive to an application of force to said lifter. The body comprising a handle and a pet engagable portion support comprising a debris ejector, the debris ejector is directly adjacent the pet engagable portion. The pet engagable portion is removably coupled to the lifter. The pet engagable portion having a resting position wherein the biasing member maintains the pet engagable portion at least partially extending out of the body absent the application of force and a retracted position wherein the pet engagable portion is retracted into the body, responsive to the application of force moving the lifter. The pet engagable portion moves into the retracted position, said move removes debris from the pet engagable portion via the at least one debris ejector.

A surface cleaning apparatus, such as an extractor, has a liquid delivery system operable to alternately deliver a carpet cleaning solution and a hard floor cleaning solution.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor is operable in a floor cleaning mode which utilizes a floor cleaning fluid flow path. The surface cleaning apparatus is also operable in an above floor cleaning mode which utilizes a different above floor fluid flow path.

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.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus, such as an extractor, has an upright section moveably mounted to a surface cleaning head and a recline limiter system adapted to inhibit the upright section reclining to a position at which recovered water enters the separator.

A surface cleaning apparatus, such as an extractor, has a separation stage comprising a separator and a separated liquid container in communication with a separated element outlet of the separator. When the surface cleaning apparatus is in a vertical orientation, the separated liquid container has a first portion underlying the separator, a second portion laterally spaced from the first portion and positioned below the separator and a third portion positioned above the second portion, and the third portion has a volume that is at least 80% of a volume of the first portion.

A hand held surface cleaning apparatus has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet provided at a front end of the hand held surface cleaning apparatus to a clean air outlet, the fluid flow path including a separator and a suction motor, wherein the suction motor is positioned rearward of the dirty fluid inlet. A separation stage comprising the separator, a solid collection chamber in communication with a separated element outlet of the separator and a separated liquid reservoir in communication with the solid collection chamber is provided. The solid collection chamber is positioned rearward of the separated liquid reservoir and the separator is positioned rearward of the solid collection chamber.
