Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus having a convertible wand is configurable in an upright mode or a handheld mode. In the upright mode, the wand forms an elongated handle for maneuvering the surface cleaning apparatus over a floor surface. In the handheld mode, the wand forms a compact handle for carrying and maneuvering a handheld unit.

Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus includes a base assembly with a suction nozzle and at least one wheel. A hand-held portion has a hand grip, a recovery container, and a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle and the recovery container and configured for generating a working airstream. A wand is operably coupled between the base assembly and the hand-held portion and defines at least a portion of a working air path extending from the suction nozzle to an air outlet in the hand-held portion and including the suction source.

Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus such as a vacuum cleaner includes a suction source, a recovery container, and a base assembly with at least one agitator within an agitator chamber. The recovery container can be coupled to a separator assembly configured to remove dirt and debris from working fluid through the vacuum cleaner. In addition, a brake assembly can be provided on the base assembly and be configured to contact at least one wheel of the base assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle interior component includes a storage compartment having an opening configured to facilitate access to an interior of the storage compartment. The vehicle interior component also includes a cover panel having multiple segments coupled to one another by corresponding hinges. The cover panel is configured to transition between a closed position that substantially blocks the opening in the storage compartment and an open position that facilitates access to the interior of the storage compartment via rotation of at least one segment about at least one hinge.

Abstract: A vehicle interior comprises a zero-gap joint formed by a first component that holds a sheet-like flexible material that is supported by supports, and a protrusion of a second component that contacts and deforms the material. The material may comprise a fabric or coated material that is coordinated with the design of the interior. The joint may be formed between components that move relative to one another during normal operation of the vehicle, such as between an instrument panel and a vehicle door panel.
