Cleaner holder and cleaner unit
A cleaner holder comprises a base, a stand coupled to the base and extending upward from the base, a support body coupled to an upper portion of the stand and configured to support a cleaner, and a cleaning module support coupled to the stand and configured to support a cleaning module of the cleaner. The cleaning module may be detachably coupled to an extension tube of the cleaner.
FLOOR TREATMENT MACHINE
Walk-behind floor treatment machine comprising: a base portion provided with and supported by at least one rotatable work head for treating the floor, a handle portion for steering or guiding the machine along a working direction of travel and adapted to be pivotable with respect to the base portion, drive means for rotating the work head with respect to the base portion, floor-engaging wheel means for supporting the handle portion, the wheel means having a substantially transverse axis of rotation so as to permit travel in the working direction, the wheel means being coupled to the base portion by a linkage which permits vertical travel of the base portion and associated work head or heads with respect to the wheel means, but which provides transverse constraint to limit or prevent yawing of the base portion with respect to the wheel means, wherein a lower region of the handle portion is pivotably connected to the wheel means so that the handle portion may pivot through a generally vertical arc, and wherein a handle pivot lock mechanism is provided in which the adoption of a predetermined handle portion orientation permits one or more locking feature to act on one or more corresponding constraint feature so as to prevent pivoting movement of the handle portion with respect to the linkage, whereby tilting back of the locked handle portion causes a corresponding rise of the linkage and base portion with work head so as to lift them from the floor surface, wherein a squeegee suction device is provided for collecting and entraining liquid lifted from a floor surface over which the machine travels, the squeegee suction device being attached to the wheel means via one or more trailing arm which is attached at one end region to the squeegee device and at the opposite end region is pivotably attached to the wheel means for pivoting co-axially about the said transverse axis of rotation, the arrangement being such that the trailing arm and squeegee may pivot up or down about the transverse axis as they trail behind the treatment machine.
Cleaning device with lights
A cleaning device includes a cleaning device body and a replacement head. The cleaning device body includes an elongated handle, a housing and a replacement head mounting section. The replacement head has a pad that is intended to clean a surface, such as a floor and is removably attachable to the cleaning device body. The housing includes a circuit board having at least one sensor capable of sensing motion. The handle includes at least one button that can turn on/off either a vacuum source or a jet nozzle that sprays cleaner fluid. The cleaning device body further includes at least one light mounted thereon. The at least one light is illuminated when the button is pressed and then the at least one light remains illuminated until a predetermined amount of time has passed during which neither the button has not been pressed nor motion sensed by the sensor.
Nozzle for cleaner
A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing including a suction flow path through which air including dust flows and at least a portion of which extends in a front and rear direction. First and second rotation cleaning units are arranged on the lower side of the nozzle housing to be spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction. Each of the first and second rotation cleaning units includes a rotation plate adapted for attachment of a mop. A first driving device including a first driving motor drives the first rotation cleaning unit and a second driving device including a second driving motor drives the second rotation cleaning unit. A water tank mounted on the nozzle stores water to be supplied to the mop.
CLEANER
A cleaner includes a body, a left spin-mop module and a right spin-mop module configured to perform mopping, and a water supply module configured to supply water to the left spin-mop module and the right spin-mop module. The water supply module includes a water tank to store water therein, a pump to pressurize the water in the water tank to move the water to the left spin-mop module and the right spin-mop module, a first supply pipe connecting the water tank and the pump, a common pipe connected to the pump, the common pump configured to guide movement of the pressurized water from the pump, a first branch pipe configured to guide a first portion of the water in the common pipe to the left spin-mop module, and a second branch pipe configured to guide a second portion of the water in the common pipe to the right spin-mop module.

Self-cleaning features for extraction cleaners
Self-cleaning features for extraction cleaners and attachments for extraction cleaners, such as accessory tools, wands, and/or hoses, are provided. The self-cleaning features are configured redirect cleaning fluid from a fluid supply system of the extraction cleaner into a working air or fluid recovery path of the extraction cleaner, including, but not limited to into the working air or fluid recovery path of a tool, wand, and/or hose of the extraction cleaner.
FILTER UNIT FOR THE INTAKE CONNECTOR IN THE DIRTY-WATER TANK OF A FLOOR-CLEANING MACHINE
A floor cleaning machine with a filter unit for a suction connector in a dirty-water tank. The filter unit has a substantially sleeve-shaped main body, which has an inlet opening at a face end, a substantially annular float body, which is arranged around and is displaceable along the main body between a closed position and an open position, a cover, which is arranged on the face end and has an entry opening that is configured to be selectively closed off by the float body. A fluid channel is provided in the cover and is configured to allow a fluid to flow from the entry opening into the inlet opening, and a sleeve-shaped filter element. The float body is arranged around the main body in an annular space between the main body and the filter element.
