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 vacuum cleaner includes a foreign-substance suction unit having a drum brush to suck foreign substances by the suction power rotating on a floor to be cleaned. The drum brush includes a rotary body having a cylindrical drum and foreign-substance collecting grooves formed at opposite end portions of the drum along a circumferential direction; a cleaning member disposed on a circumferential surface of the drum; at least one nozzle spirally extended across the cleaning member along a lengthwise direction of the drum to guide foreign substances toward the foreign-substance collecting groove; and a foreign-substance winding portion disposed in a portion of the foreign-substance collecting groove to wind the guided foreign substances. The drum brush may effectively guide, wind, and cut a hair and the like foreign substances on a carpet and the like bottom, thereby effectively preventing the hair and the like foreign substances from being piled up.

Disclosed are a nozzle unit, a robot cleaner including same, and a control method therefor. The nozzle unit according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of brushes that rotate in different directions. One of the plurality of brushes rotates such that waste such as hair attaches and collects thereon. Another one of the plurality of brushes rotates such that the attached waste such as hair becomes separated. The above processes are performed simultaneously. Accordingly, waste such as hair present on a floor surface can be easily collected and separated. Consequently, user convenience can be enhanced.

The present disclosure provides a shaving device powered by a vacuum cleaner. The shaving device includes a shaver. The shaver includes a shaver shell, a driving motor, and a shaving blade; the driving motor is mounted in the shaver shell; the shaving blade is located at a front end of the shaver shell; the shaving blade is connected to the driving motor; the shaver shell is provided with an inclined support plate; the inclined support plate supports the shaving blade, and the shaving blade does a reciprocating motion along the inclined support plate. Compared with the existing art, the present disclosure adopts the vacuum cleaner to supply power, which enhances the use experience of a user and improves the hair clipping effect.

A self cleaning chair assembly for suctioning up hair as it is cut from a client includes a base, in which a vacuum module is positioned, and a chair. The chair is rotatably engaged to and is selectively extensible from the base. A tube is engaged to the chair and extends along a rear edge of a seat of the chair. A plurality of openings is positioned in the tube. An intake pipe is engaged to and extends from the vacuum module. The intake pipe extends substantially circumferentially around a lower end of the base. A plurality of apertures extends through the base and into the intake pipe. A hose is engaged to and extends between the intake pipe and the tube. The vacuum module suctions hair trimmed from the client from a surface proximate to the base, through the apertures, and from the chair, through the openings.

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.

Disclosed is a cleaner. A cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a brush; and a removal member that is positioned adjacent to the brush. The brush is rotated to collect garbage, such as hair, located on a floor surface. The collected garbage, such as hair, may be pushed by the removal member and separated from the brush. The garbage, such as hair, separated from the brush may pass through a nozzle housing and may then be collected in a dust bin. Therefore, the garbage, such as hair, attached to the brush can be easily separated and collected without a separate removal process. Accordingly, user convenience can be improved.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a rotatably mounted brush. The brush has a leading row of bristles, a trailing row of bristles and a hair blocking member between the trailing row of bristles and the leading row of bristles.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a rotatably mounted brush. The brush has first and second microfiber pads separated by bristles.

A cleaner includes a cleaner main body, and a suction unit connected to the cleaner main body to suck air containing dust, and provided with a brush assembly brought into contact with a floor, wherein the brush assembly includes a rotating rod rotatable in one direction, a brush portion protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the rotating rod to rotate together with the rotating rod, and a blade erected at the rear of the brush portion in the one direction to be adjacent to the brush portion, and brought into contact with the brush portion during the rotation in the one direction, to prevent foreign substances from getting tangled in the brush portion. This configuration may prevent foreign substances such as hair and the like from being tangled in the brush portion during an operation of the cleaner.
