Cleaner dispensing system cartridge authentication and control
A control system includes a cleaner dispensing system and a computing device. The cleaner dispensing system includes a cleaner dispensing apparatus having a dispenser device configured to operate to dispense a cleaning composition. The cleaner dispensing system includes a cartridge configured to detachably couple with the cleaner dispensing apparatus to provide a cleaning composition held in a cartridge reservoir to the dispenser device. The cartridge includes a cartridge indicator configured to indicate a particular cartridge identifier code associated with the cartridge. The computing device is configured to detect the particular cartridge identifier code based on obtaining cartridge information from the cartridge indicator and to transmit an apparatus enable command signal to the cleaner dispensing apparatus, to cause the cleaner dispensing apparatus to selectively enable operation of at least the dispenser device, in response to a determination that the particular cartridge identifier code matches an authentic cartridge identifier code.
Variable flow rate mechanical pump assembly
A mechanical pump includes a motor with an output shaft, a cam coupled to the output shaft for rotating the cam when the motor is energized, and a driver with spaced ledges engaging the cam and driven linearly by the rotating cam. The piston is driven by the driver. A cylinder receives the piston therein and includes an inlet section for drawing fluid into the cylinder and an outlet section for pumping fluid out of the cylinder as the piston reciprocates in the cylinder.
STAND-ON FLOOR SCRUBBER
A stand-on floor scrubber is provided to clean floor surfaces and includes a housing, a scrubber head, and drive wheels. The scrubber head may be positioned against a floor to provide scrubbing action during a floor cleaning operation. The housing includes an upright forward housing section and an upright rear housing section that are spaced apart by an operator platform with each of the forward housing section and rear housing section containing operational components of the stand-on floor scrubber, such as batteries and fluid tanks. The operator platform is sloped between the forward and rear housing and provides adjustable support for an operator of the stand-on floor scrubber.

Surface cleaner with suction and simplified operation
A surface cleaner with suction and simplified operation, which can be moved by hand using a push bar (30) over a cleaning surface on the floor, and consists of a pot-shaped housing (6) that is open towards a cleaning surface, in which housing at least one rotor arm (7) having spray nozzles (10) attached to it is driven to rotate under the action of a high-pressure medium, wherein a manually operated valve device (1, 3, 25, 26) is present, which supplies the high-pressure medium selectively to one or more rotor arms (7) and/or to the suction device (8), wherein, for two-handed operation, the manually operated valve device consists of two spatially separated operating handles (1, 3) with manually operated operating levers (25, 26), which are arranged at the two ends of the push bar (30) of the surface cleaner.
Surface cleaner with multiple uses
A surface cleaner with a connection to a high-pressure medium, consisting of a pot- shaped housing (11) open on one side, in which at least one rotor arm (6) is rotatably mounted on a swivel joint (5) in the center of the housing, wherein one or more cleaning nozzles (27) are arranged on the rotor arm (6), which are connected in a fluid-conducting manner to the high-pressure medium guided through the swivel joint (5), wherein the housing (11) is designed to be able to turn 180 degrees for a second operating mode, wherein the surface cleaner can be operated in the at least two different operating modes, wherein the first operating mode consists of a surface cleaning operation with the housing (11) and the cleaning nozzles (27) arranged therein pointing downwards toward a floor, and wherein the second operating mode is designed as a cleaning operation in which the housing (11), turned over 180 degrees with the cleaning nozzles (27) pointing upwards, is directed toward a cleaning surface arranged at a distance from the floor, characterized in that the surface cleaner has a chassis (8, 9, 17) for supporting the housing (11) in the first and second operating positions relative to the floor surface.
FULL RECOVERY TANK SHUTOFF
A cleaning system comprising a vacuum source, a current sensor, a recovery tank having a shutoff float configured to float on a surface of fluid within the recovery tank, and a controller. The vacuum source is in fluid communication with a suction inlet via first and second air paths within the recovery tank. The shutoff float is further configured to block the first air path upon the fluid within the recovery tank reaching a desired level. The controller is configured to receive, from the current sensor, a signal indicative of the current drawn by the vacuum source. The controller is further configured to determine, based on the current drawn by the vacuum source crossing a threshold, the fluid within the recovery tank has reached the desired level and control an operating element of the cleaning system upon determining the fluid within the recovery tank has reached the desired level.

A cylinder receives the piston therein and includes an inlet section for drawing fluid into the cylinder and an outlet section for pumping fluid out of the cylinder as the piston reciprocates in the cylinder.
Bathroom cleaning assembly
A bathroom cleaning assembly for cleaning a bathroom includes a housing. A handle is slidably coupled to the housing for gripping. A pair of wheels is each rotatably coupled to the housing for rolling along a support surface. A plurality of dispensing units is provided and each of the dispensing units is positioned in the housing. Moreover, each of the dispensing units contains a fluid. A plurality of brushes is provided and a selected one of the brushes is selectively and fluidly coupled to a selected one of the dispensing units. The selected brush dispenses the fluid from the selected dispensing unit for cleaning the bathroom. A vacuum unit is positioned in the housing for vacuuming debris from the bathroom.
