Patent number: 11653800Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner including a housing having a front end, a back end, a first side, and a second side, the housing further including a handle along a handle axis. A suction nozzle is along a suction nozzle axis that extends in a direction from the front end toward the back end. The handheld vacuum further includes a suction source operable to generate an airflow through the vacuum cleaner from the suction nozzle through a cyclonic separator to a clean air exhaust. A battery that supplies power to the suction source and the battery is coupled to the housing adjacent an end of the handle. The handle extends between the battery and the cyclonic separator.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Techtronic Industries Co.
