Floor cleaner
A sweeping tool includes an elongated handle having a proximal end and a distal end, a bracket coupled to the distal end of the elongated handle, and a cleaning assembly coupled to the bracket. The cleaning assembly is designed to rotate about an axis passing through a portion of the bracket. The cleaning assembly includes a housing designed to hold a rotatable brush head and to collect debris swept up by the rotatable brush head. The cleaning assembly also includes a broom head coupled to the housing and a plurality of bristles coupled to the broom head.
BRUSH WITH NON-CONSTANT NODULE DENSITY
Provided is a disclosure for a brush for cleaning a surface, where the brush comprises a center core and cleaning material around the center core. Modules are found on the cleaning material, where nodule density on the cleaning material varies. Accordingly, a first nodule density of a first region of the cleaning material is different than a second nodule density of a second region of the cleaning material
HAIRCARE APPLIANCE
A haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The haircare appliance has a signal generator configured to generate a signal indicative of hair contacting the haircare appliance. The airflow generator includes a first operating mode in which the airflow generator generates airflow at a first flow rate, and a second operating mode in which the airflow generator generates airflow at a second flow rate greater than the first flow rate. The airflow generator is configured to operate in the first operating mode in the absence of the signal and in the second operating mode in the presence of the signal.

FLOOR CLEANER
A cleaning head for a floor cleaner including a brushroll assembly configured to clean a surface to be cleaned and reduce brushroll maintenance, such as removing hair and debris wrapped around the brushroll assembly and removing debris from a bearing of the brushroll assembly. The brushroll assembly may comprise agitator members to assist in cleaning and maintenance.
Vehicle wash system having a vertically operated top brush with a scissor support mechanism
A vehicle washing system includes a frame disposed above a vehicle treatment area, and an extendable and retractable scissor mechanism coupled to the frame. A rotatable top brush is coupled to a bottom end of the scissor mechanism, and the scissor mechanism is extendable downward to lower the top brush into engagement with a vehicle body and retractable upward to remove the brush from engagement with the vehicle body. The scissor mechanism may include a brush support flange coupled to a bottom end of the scissor mechanism. An anti-spin member may extend from the support member to the scissor mechanism to prevent bending of the scissor mechanism in response to rotating to the top brush. The anti-spin member may be in the form of a fork that slidably engages a protrusion of the scissor mechanism.

Cleaning systems configured to pick up pet hair
Cleaning systems can remove pet hair from surfaces such as furniture and floors without requiring bulky and expensive vacuums. Hair cleaning systems can have an outer housing and a cylindrical basin that is coupled to the outer housing by a pivot. Features working in conjunction with slanted bristles enhance the efficacy of the cleaning systems.
CONDUIT CLEANER
There is provided a conduit cleaner including an elongate body. The cleaner includes at least one vane coupled to and extending radially outwards from a longitudinal axis of the elongate body. The at least one vane has a distal end portion shaped to abut against and clean an inner surface of a conduit. According to a second aspect, there is provided a conduit cleaner including an elongate body. The cleaner includes a plurality of turbines rotatably coupled to the elongate body. Each turbine includes at least one vane extending outwards from a longitudinal axis of the elongate body. The vanes have distal end portions shaped to abut against and clean an inner surface of the conduit.
Rotating electric toothbrush
The present invention relates to a rotating electric toothbrush comprising: a main body having a receiving space formed therein, a driving means received in the interior of the main body and providing a rotational force, a toothbrush handle having one end detachably coupled to the driving means, and receiving a rotational force of the driving means to be rotated, a support means coupled to the outer peripheral surface of the other end of the toothbrush handle and having plate-shaped support bodies made of a ductile material and radially formed to be spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of toothbrush bristles implanted between the support bodies. The present invention has a structure in which the toothbrush bristles are radially implanted on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the cylindrical rotating toothbrush handle, thereby removing food leftovers sandwiched on a tooth surface or at an interdental gap without damage of gums, and more surely removing dental plaque from the tooth surface due to silicon bristles implanted between the toothbrush bristles. Further, the silicon bristles implanted between the toothbrush bristles support the toothbrush bristles, thereby preventing deformation of the toothbrush bristles, and a space for receiving toothpaste is formed between the silicon bristles, thereby preventing the toothpaste from easily slipping off. Further, a tongue cleaner, which is detachable and made of a silicon material, is further comprised, thereby easily cleaning a tongue.
