Patent number: 11484175Abstract: A floor cleaner including a base movable over a surface to be cleaned, the base including a front side, a back side opposite the front side, and a brushroll chamber. A supply tank is configured to store a cleaning fluid and a distribution nozzle is in fluid communication with the supply tank, the distribution nozzle operable to dispense the cleaning fluid onto the surface to be cleaned. A brushroll cover is removable from the base to access the brushroll chamber. A brushroll is within the brushroll chamber. The distribution nozzle is disposed adjacent the front side of the base and carried on an upper exterior portion of the base and configured to spray forwardly of the base in a direction from the back side toward the front side.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Techtronic Floor Care Technology LimitedInventors: Rafael Davila, Jerald Bradley, Michael Paul Dawson, Nicholas DeBlasio, Don Lydic, Benjamin Shrader

Patent number: 11432644Abstract: A combination of a floor cleaner and a cleaning tray. At least a portion of a base of the floor cleaner is received by a reservoir of the cleaning tray. The floor cleaner further including an upright portion movable between an inclined use position and an upright storage position. The brushroll is powered by a brushroll motor. The brushroll motor includes a control circuit that controls the brushroll. The control circuit has a first switch that is open when the floor cleaner is in the upright position and closed when the floor cleaner is in the inclined use position. The second switch is in parallel with the first switch. The second switch is opened in response to the portion of the base being removed from the cleaning tray and the second switch is closed when the portion of the base is in the cleaning tray.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Techtronic Cordless GPInventors: Rafael Davila, Nicholas DeBlasio

Publication number: 20220071463Abstract: A cleaning system comprising a vacuum source, a current sensor, a recovery tank having a shutoff float configured to float on a surface of fluid within the recovery tank, and a controller. The vacuum source is in fluid communication with a suction inlet via first and second air paths within the recovery tank. The shutoff float is further configured to block the first air path upon the fluid within the recovery tank reaching a desired level. The controller is configured to receive, from the current sensor, a signal indicative of the current drawn by the vacuum source. The controller is further configured to determine, based on the current drawn by the vacuum source crossing a threshold, the fluid within the recovery tank has reached the desired level and control an operating element of the cleaning system upon determining the fluid within the recovery tank has reached the desired level.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Kevin Pohlman, Rafael Davila, Nicholas DeBlasio

Publication number: 20200060503Abstract: A floor cleaner including a supply tank configured to store a cleaning fluid, a vacuum source, and a base movable over a surface to be cleaned. The base includes a front side, a back side opposite the front side, a suction inlet adjacent the front side of the base and in fluid communication with the vacuum source, and a distribution nozzle in fluid communication with the supply tank. The distribution nozzle is adjacent the front side and configured to dispense the cleaning fluid onto the surface. The distribution nozzle sprays the cleaning solution in a spray pattern beyond the front side of the base in a direction from the back side toward the front side. The base further includes a light directed toward the front side configured to illuminate the spray pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Rafael Davila, Jerald Bradley, Michael Paul Dawson, Nicholas DeBlasio, Don Lydic, Benjamin Shrader
