Patent number: 11992175Abstract: An autonomous vacuum cleaner includes an autonomously moveable housing carrying a vacuum collection system for generating a working air flow for removing dirt from the surface to be cleaned and storing the dirt in a collection space. Distance sensors for position sensing are mounted to the housing. The distance sensors can be staggered and/or positioned on one or more sides or above a brush chamber for a brushroll.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: BISSELL Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Scholten, Jake Andrew Mohan, Andrew James Brouwers, Eric Daniel Buehler, James Joseph Minnema, Jr., Derek Everett Smith, David VanKampen
