Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a base, and a mechanical beater and a vibrating member connected thereto. A first suction inlet in the base is associated with the mechanical beater. A second suction inlet in the base is associated with the vibrating member. An airflow path is in fluid communication with the first and second suction inlets and flows to a debris collector.
Abstract: A vacuum bag attachment assembly for a vacuum cleaner includes a locking handle movably connected to the vacuum cleaner and movable between first and second positions. An opening in the handle receives a fitting of a vacuum bag. When the locking handle is in the first position, an outer shell of the vacuum cleaner is prevented from closing. When the locking handle is in the second position, the outer shell of the vacuum cleaner is closable.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum head having a housing and a vibrating member connected to the housing. A suction inlet draws dirt and debris into the vacuum head. Vibration of the vibrating member facilitates drawing the dirt and debris into the vacuum head through the suction inlet.
Abstract: The present invention provides a lock-out system and a lock-out apparatus for a vacuum cleaner having a closeable shell for a filter bag. The system includes a filter bag collar mount and a locking mechanism for a filter bag movably connected to the filter bag collar mount. The locking mechanism is able to be in one of an engaged position or in a disengaged position relative to the filter bag mount. Also, the locking mechanism in the disengaged position prevents the closeable shell from closing.
