Abstract: A cleaner for a cleaning robot cleaning a floor surface while traveling includes a support member, two parallel link mechanisms fixed to both right and left sides of the support member so as to be swingable in an upward-downward direction of the cleaning robot, a first connecting pin interconnecting joint portions of the two parallel link mechanisms, a second connecting pin disposed above the first connecting pin and interconnecting other joint portions of the two parallel link mechanisms, a brush unit attached to the first connecting pin and having a brush grounded to the floor surface, and a lifting and lowering unit lifting and lowering the brush unit by swinging the parallel link mechanism in the upward-downward direction.

Abstract: A cleaner for a cleaning robot cleaning a floor surface while traveling includes a support member, a brush unit attached to the support member and having a brush grounded to the floor surface, and a flip-up mechanism flipping up the brush such that the brush is directed in a direction perpendicular to an upward-downward direction of the cleaning robot.

Abstract: A method for producing siloxanyl phosphate under moderate conditions and at a fast rate to produce a high viscosity siloxanyl phosphate having a low phosphoric acid content. The siloxanyl phosphate prepared by the present method is particularly useful as an agent for neutralizing basic catalysts used in manufacturing processes for producing high viscosity diorganopolysiloxanes. The method comprises reacting a mixture comprising phosphoric acid and a hydroxyl-ended diorganosiloxane. A preferred method comprises reacting a mixture comprising phosphoric acid, a hydroxyl-ended diorganosiloxane, and a triorganosiloxy-ended diorganosiloxane.
