The present invention is directed to a blowervac device having a grill that requires to distinct steps in securing the grill over a fan to activate a safety switch allowing power to the motor. The grill has an outer ring and a rotatable inner cover. The first step is simply to secure the grill over the fan. The second step requires the cover to be rotated, which activates an actuator for the safety switch, allowing power to be delivered to the motor and operation of the device. This two-step process reduces the likelihood if inadvertent operation of the device and reduces the chances of injury.

A vacuum collection vehicle may include a chassis, a vacuum container supported by the chassis, a vacuum source separated from the vacuum container by an intermediate wall and a filter. The vacuum source is in pneumatic connection with the filter through the intermediate wall. A plurality of discharge conduits extend through the intermediate wall, extend over and above the filter, along the roof of the vacuum container. The plurality of discharge conduits have a plurality of respective outlets at different locations within the interior of the vacuum container for discharging collected material into different collection receptacles. The filter is sandwiched between the intermediate wall and the plurality of discharge conduits.

A cleaner includes: a main body that forms an external shape; a dust container that is separably combined with the main body and stores dust separated from air; a dust container cover that is configured to open and close the dust container; a handle unit that is disposed behind the dust container; and an operating member that is configured to provide operation force to the dust container cover by moving in a first direction and to release a holding mechanism for preventing separation of the dust container from the main body by moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A cleaner is disclosed. The cleaner includes: a housing having an introduction opening through which air is introduced; a filtering unit configured to be mounted in an inner space of the housing, and defining a dust collection space between the filtering unit and an inner surface of the housing; and a cleaning unit configured to surround the filtering unit, and configured to be raised and lowered inside the dust collection space along with a manipulation unit, wherein, when the cleaning unit is in an initial position, at least a portion of the cleaning unit is connected to an air introduction path extending from the introduction opening to form a guide flow path to guide a flow of introduced air.

A portable debris removal system cleans debris and fluids from newly machined parts generally includes an enclosure assembly where a user cleans a machined part with a compressed air gun. The air within the enclosure assembly is evacuated for decontamination through a series of filters with remaining contaminates collected in a waste vessel. Ambient air and air gun expressed compressed air are drawn into the system via the Venturi effect created by a Venturi vent positioned on the bottom of the enclosure assembly.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a controller, the cleaner body having a dust container accommodation part formed therein; a wheel unit mounted in the cleaner body, the wheel unit of which driving is controlled by the controller; and a dust container detachably coupled to the dust container accommodation part, wherein a first opening and a second opening are disposed at the same height in an inner wall of the dust container accommodation part, wherein the dust container includes: an entrance and an exit, disposed side by side along the circumference of the dust container, the entrance and the exit, respectively communicating with the first opening and the second opening when the dust container is accommodated in the dust container accommodation part; and a flow separating part extending downwardly inclined along the inner circumference of the dust container.

A docking station for a robotic vacuum cleaner has a pneumatic transfer mechanism that is used to direct air to the robotic vacuum cleaner to thereby transfer dirt from the robotic vacuum cleaner to a docking station.

A modular particle collection system includes a hollow lower member, a hollow upper member separably attached to the hollow lower member, a collection container separably attached to a longitudinal end of the hollow lower member opposite the hollow upper member, an inlet portion extending radially from the hollow lower member and configured to be fitted to a first portion of a vacuum system, a particulate filter, and an outlet portion extending radially outward from the hollow upper member and configured to be fitted to a second portion of vacuum system. Additional modular particle collection systems and a method of making a modular collection system are also disclosed.
