Publication number: 20100229892Abstract: A surface-cleaning apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more brushes rotatably driven by a motor in order to collect debris without suction being applied by the apparatus. The apparatus is capable of detecting a resistance or friction level of the surface to be cleaned, and can automatically adjust the rotational speed of the motor, and thereby the rotational speed(s) of the brush(es), based on changes in the surface. Additionally, the apparatus is capable of detecting jamming or locking of a brush and turning off the motor in response to detecting such jamming or locking.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: Euro-Pro Operating LLCInventors: Chad REESE, Brian R. McGee

Patent number: 7487651Abstract: A device for generating and supplying steam is provided. The device has a body, a steam generation unit, a first side panel attached to the body, a second side panel attached to the body, a power cord attached to the steam generation unit, a supply hose for supplying the steam from the steam generation unit to a point of use of the steam, a first wrapping location formed between the body and the first side panel, and a second wrapping location formed between the body and the second side panel. The first wrapping location is for wrapping the power cord for storage, and the second wrapping location is for wrapping the supply hose for storage.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Euro-Pro Operating, LLCInventors: Mark Rosenzweig, Terry Robertson, Chad Reese

Patent number: 7269878Abstract: A steam stop safety mechanism for a portable steam cleaner prevents discharge of steam at the cleaner nozzle when attaching and disconnecting attachments, even if the cleaner trigger is in a locked open position. The mechanism includes a steel pin that is displaced in an extended position against a shoulder in the nozzle to prevent pressurized steam from escaping the nozzle. Attachment couplings include a pin retractor plate with a central hub that pushes the pin away from the shoulder to allow the steam to flow through openings in the retractor plate and out a concentrator or attachment hose that has a trigger to release steam as desired.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Euro Pro Operatin LLCInventor: Chad A. Reese

Patent number: 7089563Abstract: The invention provides a system that allows logic entities that perform within different browser pages to exchange state information such as variable or data element values between each other. To do so, the system of the invention defines a data element having a value for use by a first application logic entity in a first browser page. The system then dynamically generates a browser page identifier for a second browser page which includes state information such as values for data elements defined in the first browser page. The system then invokes access to the second browser page within a browser using the browser page identifier that was dynamically generated. When the browser loads the second browser page, and logic entity in the second browser page of the invention retrieves the value of the data element from the browser page identifier used by the browser to retrieve the second browser page.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Daniel A. Nagel, Chad A. Reese

Publication number: 20060076035Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a body including a plurality of compartments. An elongate rotating brush arrangement is positioned within and extends across a first compartment. An electric motor is positioned in a second compartment for driving the brush. The motor for the brush can be operated at a plurality of speeds. A feedback loop maintains the selected speed during operation, and the motor will automatically shut off if the brush is unable to rotate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2004Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventors: Brian McGee, Chad Reese

Publication number: 20060000040Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a body including a rear compartment, a forward compartment and an intermediate compartment arranged between the rear and forward compartments for collecting debris. An elongate rotatable brush arrangement is positioned within and extends across the forward compartment. An electric motor is connected to the rotatable brush arrangement by a belt. A notch or opening in the front wall of the forward compartment facilitates admission of particles into the forward compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2005Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Nicholas Grey, Chad Reese, Mark Rosenzweig, Terry Robertson
