Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner generally includes an upright assembly including a suction generator and a floor nozzle coupled to the upright assembly. The floor nozzle is configured for movement over a floor surface and includes a nozzle inlet in fluid communication with the suction generator. An aperture is formed through the floor nozzle and configured to allow the insertion of a hand of an operator to provide a gripping area on the floor nozzle adjacent the aperture to facilitate lifting and lowering the upright vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a base having a foot and a handle assembly pivotally coupled to the foot, and a canister assembly removably supported by the base. The vacuum cleaner also includes a first engagement member extending from one of the base and the canister assembly. The first engagement member engages the other of the base and the canister assembly to support the canister assembly on the base and inhibit the canister assembly from sliding side-to-side relative to the base. The vacuum cleaner further includes a second engagement member supported by one of the base and the canister assembly. The second engagement member engages the other of the base and the canister assembly to inhibit movement of the canister assembly away from the handle assembly when the canister assembly is supported on the base by the first engagement member.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner having a specific ratio of wheel diameter to wheel separation distance in addition to a u-shaped yoke operably coupled to an axle, thus giving the vacuum cleaner a zero turn radius allowing the user to more easily and efficiently operate and maneuver the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner may also include one or more vacuum cleaner components disposed between the wheels.

Abstract: A flat panel assembly for a drawer tower includes a left panel including a left rail adapted to slidably receive a rim of a drawer, a right panel including a right rail adapted to slidably receive a rim of a drawer, and a back panel foldably integral with the left panel along a first joint, and foldably integral with the right panel along a second joint.
