A reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus is provided.

A suction hose for a vacuum cleaner including a hose portion, which has a flexible dust removal hose body and a flexible jacket hose body, in which the dust removal hose body is arranged, wherein a suction flow channel for conducting a suction flow to the vacuum cleaner extends between longitudinal ends of the hose portion, which suction flow channel is bounded by a hose jacket of the dust removal hose body, a connection piece for connecting to the hand-held power tool or to the vacuum cleaner is arranged at at least one longitudinal end of the hose portion, and the jacket hose body and the dust removal hose body extend into an interior of a hose receptacle of the connection piece such that the dust removal hose body is sheathed by the jacket hose body into the hose receptacle.

A surface cleaning apparatus is disclosed having a forward portion and a rearward portion. The forward portion has a dirty air inlet, a front side, a rear side and a forward bridging section, the forward bridging section having a rearwardly extending air flow passage that is downstream from the dirty air inlet. The rearward portion positioned rearward of the forward portion, the rearward portion comprising a front side, a rearward side, a rearward bridging section, a lower planar surface, an upper surface and an up flow duct, the rearward bridging section being spaced rearward of the front side of the rearward portion. The rear side of the forward portion is spaced from and faces the front side of the rearward portion and the forward bridging section is connected to the rearward bridging section.

The present invention discloses a portable vacuum cleaner having a rotatable vacuum assembly. The vacuum cleaner comprises a nozzle assembly including a nozzle cavity, a canister assembly pivotally connected to the nozzle assembly, a dust bag mounted to the canister assembly, a dirty air pathway providing fluid communication between the nozzle cavity and the dust bag and a suction generator for generating a vacuum that draws dirt and debris from the nozzle cavity to the dust bag. The nozzle assembly having a nozzle mount rotatably coupled to the canister assembly to spin about a rotation axis and an angled nozzle rigidly extending from the nozzle mount at an acute angle to the rotation axis. The nozzle assembly is adapted to rotate and could move back and forth for effective collection of dirt and debris.

A vacuum inlet valve assembly has a housing configured to be mounted exterior to a preexisting wall in a structure such that the housing is connected with a conduit and the conduit is exterior to the wall and retains a hose therein, and the hose is adapted to be pulled out from a stored position within the conduit external from the wall to an extracted position, and when in the extracted position, an end cap or hose plug on the hose is releasably connected with a connection assembly in the housing. A portion of the conduit is clear or translucent or transparent so an operator can watch the end cap or hose plug approach the connection assembly.

The present disclosure provides a charging mount and a vacuum cleaner assembly including the charging mount and a vacuum cleaner. The support member is provided with the curved plate clamped by the claw of the fastening head, achieving a quick fixing of the vacuum cleaner to the charging mount. Once the fastening head is engaged with the curved plate, the first electrical contact can be accurately contact the second electrical contact to ensure a stable electrical connection, resulting in stable charging. The first baseplate is provided with a plurality of securing columns for fixing and mounting spare accessories, resulting in convenience for arrangement. The seating groove and the limiting plate of the second baseplate as well as the limiting block of the first baseplate contribute to secure and limit the position of the brush head portion, resulting a stable placement of the vacuum cleaner on the charging mount.

A docking station for a robotic vacuum cleaner has a pneumatic transfer mechanism that is used to direct air to the robotic vacuum cleaner to thereby transfer dirt from the robotic vacuum cleaner to a docking station.

A telescopic conductive tube is provided, including a conductive assembly. The conductive assembly includes an isolating guide, an isolating restraining tube, a rail, a wire, a guiding rod and a conductive spring. The conductive spring is sleeved on the guiding rod and electrically connects with the wire. The guiding rod and the conductive spring are accommodated within the isolating restraining tube. The isolating restraining tube is accommodated within the isolating guide. The wire is accommodated within the rail. The isolating restraining tube has one end inserted into the rail. The rail is slidable relative to the isolating guide. When sliding into the isolating guide, the rail slides along an outer wall of the isolating restraining tube, and the conductive spring is compressed by a bottom of the rail.

The hydro excavation remote dig system provides for a primary and secondary dig tube attachments that permit a vacuum truck to be used for a remote dig setup. Specifically, the attachments include various attachable handles, corrugated tubing that connects to a reinforcement bar device with releasable clamps to maintain the corrugated tubing in an elongated state during use, a debris box with an integrated safety valve, and a dig tip.

A portable vacuum cleaner comprises a housing including a storage space and a lid coupled to the housing. The lid is moveable between an open position, in which access to the storage space is provided, and a closed position, in which access to the storage space is blocked. The vacuum cleaner further comprises a handle coupled to the housing, a suction source supported in the housing, a debris collection chamber in fluid communication with the suction source, and a first battery receptacle on the housing. The first battery receptacle is configured to selectively receive a first battery pack that is configured to provide power to the suction source. The vacuum cleaner further comprises a hose port on the housing and in fluid communication with the suction source.
