Abstract: A floor cleaner including a recovery tank that receives a fluid and a suction airflow from a suction inlet and separates the suction airflow from the fluid. The recovery tank includes a top side, a bottom wall opposite the top side, a sidewall that extends from the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the sidewall at least partially define a storage volume of the recovery tank. The recovery tank further includes an inlet duct having an inlet aperture configured to direct the fluid from the inlet duct into the storage volume, and a baffle wall connected to the sidewall, the baffle wall facing toward the top side of the recovery tank. The inlet aperture is directed along an inlet direction toward the sidewall adjacent the baffle, and the inlet aperture is disposed above the baffle in a direction from the bottom wall to the top side.

Abstract: A floor cleaner including a including a body, a cleaning head pivotally coupled to the body, and a liquid distribution system. The cleaning head includes a first and a second cleaning roller for contacting a surface to be cleaned.

Abstract: A model globe for illustrating time relationships and related concepts includes a global representation of the earth rotatable about an axis simulating the earth's axis of rotation. A cursor assembly is independently rotatable about the axis, and includes a cursor which may be positioned at a desired place on the earth as represented on the model globe. An indicator is coupled to the cursor assembly and displays the rotations position of the cursor about the simulated axis of rotation. The indicator is preferably in the form of a clock, whereby the time over a 24-hour period corresponding to a revolution of the earth about its axis is displayed to correspond to the position of the cursor. The cursor assembly may be locked to the globe so that they may be rotated about the axis in unison, whereby the indicator depicts the passage of time along the longitude of the cursor as the globe rotates.
