The base further includes a first actuator movable in a first direction from a latched position and to an unlatched position and a second actuator movable in a second direction, opposite the first direction, from a latched position and an unlatched position. The brushroll cover is secured to the base when the first and second actuators are in the latched positions and the brushroll cover is removable from the base when the first and second actuators are in the unlatched positions.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner docking station is disclosed, the vacuum cleaner docking station includes a vacuum cleaner separator and a dock. The vacuum cleaner separator is operable to separate debris from a suction airflow. The vacuum cleaner separator includes a dirty air inlet, a clean air outlet, and a debris collector having a debris outlet. The vacuum cleaner separator is removably coupled to the dock. The dock includes an airflow source operable to generate an airflow. The dock further includes a dock debris collector and an airflow outlet in fluid communication with the airflow source such that the airflow generated by the airflow source is discharged from the airflow source through the airflow outlet. Airflow generated by the airflow source of the dock travels through the vacuum cleaner separator and through the debris outlet of vacuum cleaner to blow debris out of the debris outlet and into the dock debris collector.

Abstract: A vacuum including a suction inlet and a suction source. The vacuum also includes a dirt cup in fluid communication with the suction inlet and the suction source. The dirt cup includes a first stage cyclonic separator and a dirt collection chamber. A housing of the dirt cup includes a first end, a second end, and a neck region between the first end and the second end. The housing has an outer dimension that decreases in a direction from the first end toward the neck region and an outer dimension that decreases in a direction from the second end toward the neck region. The dirt cup includes a shroud within the housing, and the shroud includes a flange that divides the housing at the neck region. The dirt collection chamber and at least a portion of the shroud are between the second end of the housing and the flange.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a surface cleaning head, a pivot assembly pivotally coupled to the surface cleaning head such that the pivot assembly is pivotable relative to the surface cleaning head, and a canister assembly coupled to the pivot assembly such that the canister assembly is supported above the surface cleaning head. The pivot assembly pivotally couples to the surface cleaning head such that the pivot assembly is pivotable relative to the surface cleaning head. The canister assembly includes an electrical source connector configured to connect to a power source. The electrical source connector is electrically connected to a plurality of electrical components via a pivot assembly electrical connection. The surface cleaning head further includes an appliance board having an appliance controller, a display board having a display, and a floor-type sensor, each of which being one of the plurality of electrical components.

Abstract: A floor cleaner including a vacuum source, a handle, and a base. The handle is pivotally coupled to the base, the handle pivotable between an upright storage position and an inclined operating position, the base movable over a surface to be cleaned. The base includes a suction inlet in fluid communication with the vacuum source, a brushroll chamber including a rear wall,a brushroll in the brushroll chamber, the brushroll rotatable about a brushroll axis, and a brushroll cover releaseably attached to the base, the brushroll cover removable to access the brushroll chamber and the brushroll, and the brushroll chamber rear wall is attached to and removable with the brushroll cover.

Abstract: A floor cleaner including a body pivotally coupled to a base, the body pivotable relative to the base about a first axis that is offset from a brushroll axis between an upright storage position and an inclined operating position. The body also pivotable relative to the base about a second axis to steer the base as the base moves over a surface. The floor cleaner further includes a link that connects the body to the base, the link coupled to the base to form the first axis and the link coupled to the body to form the second axis. The floor cleaner further includes a recovery tank and a supply tank.
