Side brush with bristles at different lengths and/or angles for use in a robot cleaner and side brush deflectors
A robot cleaner including a body, a driven wheel, and a side brush coupled to the body. The side brush includes a hub configured to rotate about a pivot axis and a plurality of bristles. Some bristles may form a first angle with the pivot axis and others form a second angle with the pivot axis which is larger than the first angle. Some bristles may have a first bristle length and others have a second bristle length which is larger than the first bristle length. The robot cleaner may include a side brush deflector to deflect debris propelled by the side brush towards the vacuum inlet. The side brush deflector includes a plurality of deflector bristles extending downwardly from a floor facing surface of the robot cleaner towards a floor such that some of the bristles pass through or underneath a portion of the deflector bristles.

Vac-canister
Cleaning device that combines the vacuum, dustpan and trashcan all in one. This device saves time by allowing the completion of multiple tasks simultaneously. This device can suction both large and small items. Small items are suctioned through the wand extension feature into the dust and trash filter bin. Some larger items can be suctioned through the dustpan and carried to the dust and trash filter bin. Other larger items that are not suctioned can be delivered to the trashcan automatically. The functionality of this device not only saves time, but also minimizes potential aches and pains as a result of daily manual cleaning activities.

Sweeping machine for floors and carpets
A sweeping machine for floors and carpets, comprising a body with wheels for gliding and a maneuvering handle, the body supporting at least one cleaning roller that has a horizontal axis and is actuated by an electric motor by virtue of torque transmission elements; there are elements for the suction of air from a region proximate to the at least one cleaning roller, the suction elements being actuated by the same electric motor for driving the at least one cleaning roller.
Vehicle cleaning system and method
A vehicle cleaning system includes a vehicle having a substantially flat cabin floor from which a plurality of seats of the vehicle extend, and a robotic cleaning device. The robotic cleaning device includes wheels configured to propel the cleaning device along the cabin floor and selectively clean the cabin floor.

CROSS-FLOW VACUUM AND CUTTER
A yard waste clearing device includes a horizontal cross-flow fan blade assembly. The cross-flow fan blade assembly is disposed in a housing that operated in concert to produce an airflow from an inlet portion of the housing, through the cross-flow fan blade assembly, and out an outlet portion with a sufficient flow rate to carry plant matter shredded by the cross-flow fan blade assembly to a storage element such as a disposable yard waste bag. A vertical chute from the outlet portion carries the shredded plant matter up to the opening of the yard waste bag so that the yard waste bag may be held vertically, utilizing the available storage space more efficiently.
