  • Patent number: 11930971
    Abstract: A floor cleaner including a base movable over a surface to be cleaned, a suction nozzle provided on the base having a suction inlet, a body portion having a fluid dispensing member selectively removable from the body portion, the body portion being pivotally mounted to the base movable between an upright storage position and an inclined floor cleaning position, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle, and a reservoir configured to provide solution. The fluid dispensing member includes a grip, a dispensing nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir, and an actuator. The fluid dispensing member is configured to deliver solution from the reservoir through the dispensing nozzle upon user actuation of the actuator, independent of function of the base and body of the floor cleaner.

  • Patent number: 11484174
    Abstract: A cleaning tool for an extraction cleaner includes a tool body including a nozzle portion connected to an elongated handle portion and a nozzle cover removably mounted to the nozzle portion forming a suction nozzle therebetween. The suction nozzle is configured to extract recovered liquid and dirt. The cleaning tool also includes an internal conduit in fluid communication with the suction nozzle configured to transport recovered liquid and dirt extracted by the suction nozzle. The internal conduit extending longitudinally within the handle portion between opposite ends of the handle portion. The cleaning tool further includes a spray nozzle configured to distribute cleaning liquid forward of the nozzle cover and a supply tube configured to carry cleaning liquid to the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle passes through the suction nozzle or the inlet conduit.

  • Publication number: 20210127935
    Abstract: An extractor includes a body, a recovery tank coupled to the body, and a liquid tank coupled to the body. The liquid tank is configured to hold a liquid. The extractor includes a base pivotably coupled to the body and configured to support the body above a cleaning surface. The extractor includes a fluid distributor coupled to the base. The fluid distributor is in fluid communication with the liquid tank and configured to dispense the liquid from the liquid tank onto the cleaning surface. The extractor includes a brush roll removably coupled to the base and a nozzle in fluid communication with the recovery tank. The nozzle is coupled to the base to block access to the brush roll. The nozzle is moveable relative to the base and the fluid distributor allowing access to the brush roll and enabling removal of the brush roll from the base.

  • Patent number: 10442618
    Abstract: A waste receptacle may include a frame, vertical arm supports, panel inserts, and fasteners. The frame may include vertical arms spaced apart from one another and window openings, each window opening defined between an adjacent pair of the vertical arms. The vertical arm supports may be spaced apart from one another, each vertical arm support fixedly secured to one of the vertical arms and defining a pair of channels between the vertical arm support and the one of the vertical arms. The panel inserts may be removably secured with respect to the frame, each panel insert removably received within two of the channels and partially exposed through one of the window openings. Each fastener may be configured to move between an engaged position preventing removal of one of the panel inserts from the respective channels and a disengaged position allowing removal of the one of the panel inserts from the respective channels.
