Patent number: 11471019Abstract: A cleaning device includes a cleaning device body and a replacement head. The cleaning device body includes an elongated handle, a housing and a replacement head mounting section. The replacement head has a pad that is intended to clean a surface, such as a floor and is removably attachable to the cleaning device body. The housing includes a circuit board having at least one sensor capable of sensing motion. The handle includes at least one button that can turn on/off either a vacuum source or a jet nozzle that sprays cleaner fluid. The cleaning device body further includes at least one light mounted thereon. The at least one light is illuminated when the button is pressed and then the at least one light remains illuminated until a predetermined amount of time has passed during which neither the button has not been pressed nor motion sensed by the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: SharkNinja Operating LLCInventors: Damian Howard, James P. Bilodeau, Wei Zhang, Yu Ri Young Kim

Patent number: 11452414Abstract: A replacement head for a vacuum device includes a plastic tray, a filter and a pad. The plastic tray includes a dust chamber, a first connector lip and a second connector lip. An opening is provided that allows air, dust and debris to be drawn into the dust chamber during use. The connector lips are provided for attachment to a vacuum device. The pad is attached to the lower side of the plastic tray and is in contact with the floor during cleaning. The filter is connected to the plastic tray such that the filter substantially covers a top opening in the dust chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Richard Mathias, Brandon J. Suleski, James P. Bilodeau, Michael Douglas, Yu Ri Young Kim, Samuel Emrys James

Patent number: 10641686Abstract: The present disclosure includes a sampling device for collecting a sample from a target surface, the sample device including a handle, a body extending from the handle, a sampling head coupled to the body opposite said handle, wherein the sampling head is configured such that, when a mechanical force is applied to the handle, the body rotates to enable a collection of the sample from the target surface by the sampling head, and a mechanical force feedback mechanism. The mechanical force feedback mechanism includes a rotational junction connecting the body to the handle and a pin rotatably coupling the body with the handle, and is configured to prevent a further rotation of the body when a threshold amount of force is applied to the handle.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Rapiscan Systems, Inc.Inventors: James P. Bilodeau, Thomas A. Hagerty
