  • Patent number: 11369241
    Abstract: A sweeper/vacuum ride-on cleaning system includes a vacuum and sweeping mechanism using a sweeper brush and vacuum brush in one cleaning head. A caster leveling system is used for setting the level of the head above the floor. A single motor drive system using a two-sided belt is used for driving the sweeper brush and vacuum brush. A dust management system using holes adjacent to a debris try for holding debris in the tray. A pivoting door access assembly is used for allowing the sweeper brush and vacuum brush to be accessed and removed from the side of the cleaning head. Finally, a bag cage with holes throughout each of its supporting surfaces is used for holding the vacuum bag and allowing air to escape from all sides of the bag to increase vacuum efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20220088626
    Abstract: An electrostatic spraying wand includes a housing and a power source for operating an electrostatic generator. The electrostatic generator supplies a substantially high voltage to an electrode where a fluid is supplied to the electrode though a solution supply line. Thereafter, the charged solution is directed through a nozzle assembly. Since the electrostatic spraying wand supplies a charge to the cleaning fluid within the wand it can be used with a variety of devices enabling the charged solution to kill pathogens and other germs.
