A cleaner head for a cleaning appliance, including an agitator rotatable about an axis; a housing having a front side, a rear side and first and second sides which extend between the front side and rear side, said housing at least partially defining a chamber. The chamber at least partially surrounds the agitator, the chamber having a dirty air inlet and a dirty air outlet. The chamber includes an opening for permitting access to and removal of the agitator from the chamber and a cover cooperatively associated with the housing for permitting access to the chamber through the opening. The cover is movable to an agitator access position to permit the agitator to be removed from the chamber through the opening in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the agitator and in a direction which is substantially parallel to a plane of the surface to be cleaned.

A system has a floor processing device, a memory device and at least one accessory device for detachable connection with the floor processing device. The floor processing device has an acquisition device for acquiring the type of accessory device currently connected with the floor processing device, a user interface for receiving an operating specification for an operating parameter from a user, and a controller for controlling an operating activity according to the set operating parameter. The controller stores the operating parameter used last for a first operating activity together with information about the type of accessory device in the memory device and, after the accessory device has been disconnected from the floor processing device and then reconnected with the floor processing device, to access the stored operating parameter, and reset this operating parameter for a second operating activity to be performed chronologically after the first operating activity.

A cleaning appliance includes: a main body with a bottom side, the main body being assigned on the bottom side, which faces toward a floor to be cleaned, at least one cleaning body, the at least one cleaning body being mounted on the main body so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation of the cleaning body being oriented perpendicularly to the bottom side. The at least one cleaning body is mounted in the main body such that, during cleaning, the axis of rotation is movable relative to the bottom side along a movement path which is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

A hand-guided floor treatment device includes a bottom part, which includes at least one tool which is rotatable on a floor by a drive, as well as a guide part which includes at least one handle and is connected to the bottom part by an articulated arrangement which is developed in such a manner that the guide part, proceeding from a perpendicular, is pivotable in relation to the perpendicular in angular positions rotating in all directions and is operatively connected to the bottom part so as to transmit torque in an angularly limited manner in each angular position in relation to the perpendicular. The at least one rotatable tool is arranged in such a manner on the bottom part that when the floor treatment device is operating the at least one rotatable tool exerts permanent linear propulsion on the bottom part.

The invention relates to a cleaning machine, including a cleaning head, a holding rod device and a joint device by means of which the holding rod device is articulated to pivot on the cleaning head. Arranged on the holding rod device is a connection element that has a first region and a second region, wherein the second region is at a spacing from the first region in a transverse direction and the transverse direction is oriented transversely to a longitudinal axis of the holding rod device, wherein the connection element is connected by way of the second region to a joint of the joint device with which a pivot axis is associated, and wherein the connection element is connected by way of the first region to the holding rod device.

New and novel structure(s) for cleaning surfaces have been disclosed. The device may include; a wiping surface, which may be disposable; a brush roll/larger debris gathering mechanism; a local debris storage and/or staging area, and a larger remote debris storage structure. Additionally, there are mechanisms and structures disclosed for powering the brush roll, activating the brush roll from an out of use position to an in use position, waste from one area to another. The invention at hand uniquely and inventively improves upon the known devices in this field.

An amalgamated handheld vacuum dusting attachment having a housing shaped similar to a computer mouse for hand or distant cleaning featuring a crevice tool, a bristled brushing tool, and a non-bristled detachable cap having an ergonomically shaped top. Separated suction vents are provided for the crevice and bristled tools in order to provide maximum suction, and 360° rotatable wheels, lights, battery chamber, on/off switch, and battery recharge pin port are also provided. Also provided is a padded wrist support end cap and integrated swiveling end coupling nozzle, which can be detached for use as an independent brushless vacuum dusting device. An additional 360° manually rotating stabilizing wand, and independent accordion hose with ergonomic grip disk and handled vacuum attachment for use with aforesaid dusting attachment, are provided.
