A product that includes a compressor, a housing and a vibration isolation mount located between the compressor and the housing. The compressor includes an impeller, a first inlet located upstream of the impeller, a first outlet located downstream of the impeller, a second inlet located downstream of the first outlet, and a second outlet located downstream of the second inlet. During operation, fluid enters the compressor via the first inlet and exits the compressor via the first outlet. The mount creates a restriction between the compressor and the housing that causes fluid exiting the first outlet to re-enter the compressor via the second inlet.

A suction unit is proposed which comprises a suction apparatus, a dirt collection container, a filter device, wherein the dirt collection container is connected in terms of flow via the filter device to the suction apparatus, and a cleaning device for the filter device, wherein the cleaning device forms a noise source for noise emissions in a frequency range below 2000 Hz, and wherein at least one perforated-plate resonator is associated with the cleaning device, wherein the at least one perforated-plate resonator has a chamber with a chamber space and with a chamber wall and has at least one perforated plate which covers the chamber space, and wherein the at least one perforated plate is connected, actively with respect to sound, to the cleaning device.

A suction unit comprising a suction apparatus, a dirt collection container, a filter device, wherein the dirt collection container is connected in terms of flow via the filter device to the suction apparatus, and a cleaning device for the filter device, which cleaning device comprises an external-air valve device, and at least one guide duct for air, which at least one guide duct has a first port which is connected in terms of fluid action to the cleaning device for the provision of external air from the at least one guide duct, a second port for the coupling of exhaust air of the suction apparatus into the at least one guide duct, and a third port which is connected in terms of fluid action to the surroundings of the suction unit, wherein air from the surroundings is configured to flow into the at least one guide duct via the third port.

A dust extractor (1) includes a motor (30) and a blower fan (40), which is disposed downward of the motor and is connected to the motor. The dust extractor further includes a flexible (pliable) support member (50; 500), which has a lower-end portion (52) connected to the motor and suspends the motor.

The suction unit comprises: a cover having an air inlet; a noise reduction part provided in the cover, arranged outside the air inlet and spaced therefrom; an impeller for flowing the air which has passed through the noise reduction part and then the air inlet; a motor having a rotating shaft connected to the impeller; a guide apparatus for guiding the flow of the air which has flown from the exit of the impeller; and a shaft coupling part coupled to the rotating shaft connected to the impeller.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone chamber provided in an air flow path. The cyclone chamber has a screen assembly with an outlet section, a longitudinally spaced apart distal section and a longitudinally extending porous section. The outlet section includes a non-porous member extending longitudinally inwardly an outlet section length from an outlet end of the outlet section to a longitudinally inwardly positioned inlet end of the outlet section. The outlet end of the outlet section overlies a cyclone air outlet. The porous section extends longitudinally inwardly from an outlet end of the porous section that is located at the inlet end of the outlet section. The distal section has a distal section length in the longitudinal direction that is greater than the cyclone outlet port length.

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly to a vacuum cleaner including a case detachably provided at a cleaner body to accommodate dust and of which an upper surface and a lower surface are opened; a cyclone provided inside the case to separate the dust; an upper cover configured to shield the upper surface of the case and having a suction port through which the dust is suctioned and a discharge port through which air separated from the dust is discharged; an upper locker rotatably installed at an outer surface of the case and configured to selectively restrict the upper cover; a lower cover configured to shield the lower surface of the case; and a lower locker slidably installed at the outer surface of the case and configured to selectively push and open the lower cover.

Ergonomic gripping mechanisms of handheld air movement apparatuses are provided. A handheld air movement apparatus may include a handle portion and a tool portion. The handle portion may include a grip, a trigger, and a handle pivot. The grip may have first and second ends. The trigger may be positioned toward the first end of the grip and the handle pivot may be positioned toward the second end of the grip. The tool portion may include a housing, a nozzle coupled to the housing, and a handle connection base. The tool portion may provide air movement into and/or out of the nozzle in response to a signal received from the trigger of the handle portion. The handle connection base of the tool portion may be pivotally coupled to the handle portion at the handle pivot to provide directional height adjustment of the tool portion with respect to the handle portion.

The present invention relates to a cyclone separation device for separating particles from air and a cyclone vacuum cleaner (80). It has the objective to reduce noise without impairing the dirt separation performance. This is achieved an arrangement comprising a cyclone chamber (10), a dirt collecting chamber (50) arranged adjacent to the cyclone chamber (10) for collecting dirt particles separated from air, a dirt-duct (40) between the cyclone chamber (10) and the dirt collecting chamber (50) for allowing dirt particles to pass from the cyclone chamber (10) towards the dirt collecting chamber (50), and an air-guide (60) arranged adjacent to the dirt-duct (40) for reducing the momentum of the air in the dirt-duct (40).

A suction head for a vacuum cleaner comprising a base plate with a base plate channel open towards a surface to be vacuumed and a suction channel in fluid communication with the base plate channel is described. Said suction channel comprises an inner tube and an outer tube, wherein the inner tube is fixed to the base plate channel and the outer tube is rotatable telescopically with respect to the inner tube.
