A surface cleaning apparatus comprising a cleaning head and a brushroll. The cleaning head includes a cleaning head body having an agitator chamber including an opening on an underside of the cleaning head body. The brushroll is rotatably mounted to the cleaning head body such that a portion of the brushroll extends below the underside for directing debris into the opening. The brushroll includes an elongated body extending laterally between a first and second end region, a slit opening extending between the first and second end region, angular stationary teeth extending proximate to an edge of the slit opening, and a cutting blade configured to be at least partially received within the slit opening and to move laterally between the first and second end regions. The cutting blade bar includes teeth that are configured to engage with the stationary teeth to cut hair.

A system includes a universal handle and a variety of tools selectively secured within the handle. The tools can be tools for grooming or collecting hair, and are especially useful with animals such as household pets. One example tool includes a mat breaker that is adjustable for left handed or right handed use. Another example tool is a fur sweeper tool and a fur accumulator tool. Other tools include deshedders, brushes, and combs.

A cleaner is disclosed. The cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a winding member. The winding member is rotated in the cleaner to wind up thereon long and thin trash that can be compressed, such as animal hair, fibers, etc., which is introduced in a dust accommodation container. An attachable/detachable frame is accommodated in the cleaner to be detachable. The winding member has a base which has the largest diameter and is inserted and coupled to a winding member coupling portion of the attachable/detachable frame. Trash such as hair, fibers, etc. wound on the winding member is placed on a coupling plate that is located above the winding member coupling portion. Therefore, when the attachable/detachable frame is detached, the trash in the form of hair or fibers wound on the winding member is also discharged out of the dust accommodation frame along with the attachable/detachable frame. Accordingly, user convenience can be improved.

A cleaner is disclosed. A dust storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a winding member. The winding member rotates in the dust storage container to wind debris having a shape which is thin, long, and compressible, such as fur of an animal or fiber introduced into the dust storage container. Accordingly, a space occupied by the debris in the form of fur or fiber in the dust storage container is reduced. Therefore, the dust storage container can receive a large amount of debris so as to increase an operable time of the cleaner. Consequently, the convenience of a user can be improved.

A suction nozzle apparatus and a cleaner having the same includes a casing of which a mounting groove is formed in a bottom surface, a drum brush rotatably coupled to the mounting groove of the casing, and a cutting member configured to remove a foreign substance wound around the drum brush. The drum brush includes a drum core in which at least one foreign substance collecting groove that the foreign substance is wound is formed in an outer circumference and a blade formed in a spiral form in the outer circumference of the drum core.

An apparatus for holding and separating the electrical power cords of multiple barber clippers and other barber accessories. The apparatus includes a central pole, at least one hanger attachment holder attached to the central pole and at least one cord separator attached to the central pole. The hanger attachment holder has at least two hangers attached to the underside or perimeter of the hanger shelf for holding barber clippers and other barber accessories. The cord separator is located under the hanger attachment holder, and has at least two recessed areas along the perimeter of the shelf, with each recessed area aligned with the position of a corresponding hanger on the hanger shelf and acting to gather the electrical power cord of a barber clipper or other barber accessory held by the hanger.

A rotatable agitator is used in a surface clearing head of a surface cleaning apparatus. The agitator is coupled to the cleaning head at least partially within an agitator chamber and is rotated about a pivot axis. The agitator includes an elongated agitator body and a hair migration portion. The hair migration portion includes a continuous row of bristles and a sidewall. The continuous row of bristles and sidewall are at least partially revolved around and extend along at least a portion of the pivot axis from one of a collection area or a first end region of the agitator and either another collection area or a second end region of the agitator. The sidewall extends substantially parallel to the continuous row of bristles within the hair migration portion. The continuous row of bristles and sidewall are configured to reduce hair from becoming entangled in the bristles and to migrate hair towards the collection area or the first end region of the agitator.

A robotic cleaner includes a housing, a suction conduit with an opening, and a leading roller mounted in front of a brush roll. An inter-roller air passageway may be defined between the leading roller and the brush roll wherein the lower portion of the leading roller is exposed to a flow path to the suction conduit and an upper portion of the leading roller is outside of the flow path. Optionally, a combing unit includes a plurality of combing protrusions extending into the leading roller and having leading edges not aligned with a center of the leading roller. Optionally, a sealing strip is located along a rear side of the opening and along a portion of left and right sides of the opening. The underside may define side edge vacuum passageways extending from the sides of the housing partially between the leading roller and the sealing strip towards the opening.

A dust collecting device with an extendible and flexible air tube including a housing, a cover, an air tube, a dust collecting head, a filter material and a gas guiding device. The cover is detachably disposed on the housing and has an accommodating groove. The air tube is positioned in the accommodating groove and extendible and flexible, the air tube is capable of being extended to outside the accommodating groove and retracted to be accommodated in the accommodating groove, and a bending angle and an extension direction of the air tube is changeable by flexibility. The dust collecting head is disposed at the air tube, and is positioned in the accommodating groove when the air tube is shortened to be accommodated in the accommodating groove. The filter material is disposed inside the housing and close to the cover. The gas guiding device is disposed inside the housing.

Disclosed are a nozzle unit and a robot cleaner including same. The nozzle unit according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises a main brush for collecting waste such as hair and a sub brush for separating the waste such as hair attached to the main brush. The sub brush is provided with various members according to the embodiment, and separates the waste such as hair attached to the main brush. Thus, the waste such as hair can be easily collected, separated, and captured. Accordingly, user convenience can be enhanced.
