Abstract: A cleaning head housing for a floor cleaner that moves along a surface to be cleaned includes a brushroll chamber defining a top surface having a top opening and a bottom surface having a bottom opening positioned closer to the surface to be cleaned than the top opening. A suction nozzle has an upper nozzle wall, a lower nozzle wall, and a nozzle passageway formed between the upper and lower nozzle walls. The suction nozzle is releaseably connected to the brushroll chamber to selectively cover the top opening of the brushroll chamber. A brushroll is positioned within the brushroll chamber and engages the surface to be cleaned through the bottom opening of the brushroll chamber. The brushroll is accessible through the top opening for cleaning while the suction nozzle is disconnected from the brushroll chamber. The brushroll is removable from the brushroll chamber other than through the top opening.

Abstract: A floor cleaner includes an electrically powered component and a power switch. The power switch includes a button including an actuator surface and a wall that extends away from the actuator surface. The power switch further includes a frame, the button movable relative to the frame to operate the power switch. The frame includes an inner wall that defines a button aperture, the button extending into the button aperture, an outer wall, a fluid outlet, and a fluid collection surface between the inner wall and the outer wall that directs fluid on the fluid collection surface toward the fluid outlet. The wall of the button is received in a gap between the inner wall and the outer wall of the frame so that fluid is directed along the wall of the button to the fluid collection surface and inhibited from passing through the button aperture.

Abstract: A portable extractor includes a supply tank, a recovery tank, a pump in fluid communication with the supply tank, a suction source in fluid communication with the recovery tank, a base configured to support the suction source and the pump, and a main housing mounted on the base and housing the suction source and the pump. The main housing is configured to removably support the recovery tank and the supply tank. The recovery tank is arranged at a front side of the portable extractor and the supply tank is arranged at a lateral side of the portable extractor between the front side and the rear side.

Abstract: An extraction cleaner includes a supply tank, a recovery tank, a pump, a suction source, a base configured to support the suction source and the pump, an external hose, and a hose attachment assembly. The hose attachment assembly has a suction conduit extending from a suction inlet connected to the proximal end of the hose to a suction outlet in fluid communication with the recovery tank. The suction conduit is removable from the base with the hose. The hose attachment assembly also has a fluid coupling which is removable with the suction conduit. The fluid coupling extends from a coupling inlet in fluid communication with the pump to a coupling outlet coupled to a supply tube having one or more portions carried within the suction conduit. The proximal end of the hose is at least partially nested adjacent the base when the suction conduit is coupled to the base.

Abstract: A cleaning tool for an extraction cleaner includes a tool body including a nozzle portion connected to an elongated handle portion and a nozzle cover removably mounted to the nozzle portion forming a suction nozzle therebetween. The suction nozzle is configured to extract recovered liquid and dirt. The cleaning tool also includes an internal conduit in fluid communication with the suction nozzle configured to transport recovered liquid and dirt extracted by the suction nozzle. The internal conduit extending longitudinally within the handle portion between opposite ends of the handle portion. The cleaning tool further includes a spray nozzle configured to distribute cleaning liquid forward of the nozzle cover and a supply tube configured to carry cleaning liquid to the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle passes through the suction nozzle or the inlet conduit.

Abstract: A portable cleaner has a recovery tank, including a container for receiving and storing recovered liquid and/or dirt and an openable tank lid for covering the container. The container and the tank lid are removable from the cleaner as a unit. The portable cleaner also has a main housing configured to removably support the recovery tank in a vertical orientation in which the tank lid at least partially defines a top side of the portable extraction cleaner. In addition, a tank latch is provided in the tank lid, the tank latch configured to selectively secure and release the tank lid to the main housing when the recovery tank is supported by the main housing.

Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner (10, 1010) includes a main body (22, 1022) with a handle (98, 1098) and a bottom surface (102) upon which the vacuum cleaner is configured to be positioned on a horizontal surface (106), a motor assembly (114, 1114) positioned in the main body, and a cyclonic separator assembly (26) removably coupled to the main body. The cyclonic separator assembly includes an inlet nozzle (42) having a dirty air inlet (14, 1014) positioned at a front (50, 1050) of the handheld vacuum cleaner when the cyclonic separator assembly is coupled to the main body, a cyclonic chamber (30, 1030) in fluid communication with the dirty air inlet, and a dirt collection region (38) configured to receive debris separated in the cyclonic chamber. The handheld vacuum cleaner further includes a release actuator (438) configured to release the cyclonic separator assembly from the main body when actuated by a user. The release actuator is accessible from a bottom (94) of the main body.

Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner (10) includes a fluid flow path extending from a dirty air inlet (14) to a clean air outlet (18), a main body (22), and a motor assembly (114) positioned in the main body (22) and along the fluid flow path. The motor defines a motor rotational axis. The handheld vacuum cleaner (10) also includes a cyclonic chamber (30) positioned in the fluid flow path. The cyclonic chamber (30) defines a separator axis. The separator axis and the motor rotational axis form an obtuse angle extending between the cyclonic chamber (30) and the motor assembly (114). The handheld vacuum cleaner (10) further includes a pre-motor filter in the fluid flow path downstream from the cyclonic chamber (30) and upstream from the motor assembly (114), a plenum (386) in the fluid flow path immediately upstream from the motor assembly (114), and a sensor (402) positioned on the plenum. The sensor (402) is operable to measure a characteristic of the fluid flow path.
