Publication number: 20190090700Abstract: A toilet protective overlay device assembly, comprising a body for fitting over a toilet bowl rim, sized to the approximate dimensions of the outer edge of the rim to overlap the rim, the body having a top side and a bottom side. The body includes plurality of openings to receive a clamp having a non-mar surface in contact with the rim, with a plurality of clamps positioned individually through the openings to secure the body to the toilet rim, and clamps able to move within the openings to adjust the fit of the body on the rim. A flexible hose is connected so as to provide a conduit through an opening in the body, with the conduit passing from the top of the body past the bottom of the body, with a portion of the flexible hose inserted into a toilet fixture trap.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Brian Robinson, Jeffery Jernigan

Publication number: 20190090701Abstract: In general, the present disclosure is directed to a hand-held surface cleaning device that includes a relatively compact form-factor to allow users to store the same in a nearby location (e.g., in a drawer, in an associated charging dock, on a table top) for easy access to perform relatively small cleaning tasks that would otherwise require retrieving a full-size vacuum from storage. A hand-held surface cleaning device consistent with aspects of the present disclosure includes a body (or body portion) with a motor, power source and dust cup disposed therein. The body portion also functions as a handgrip to allow the hand-held surface cleaning device to be operated by one hand, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Daniel TONDERYS, Andre D.

Publication number: 20190090702Abstract: An intelligent dust mop has an air inlet and at least one air outlet. A dust collection component and a mop component in a detachable connection with the dust collection component are disposed at the position of the air inlet. The dust collection component and the mop component are arranged at the front and the back in parallel, and the dust collection component floats up and down along the thickness direction of the mop component. The intelligent dust mop integrates dust collection and mopping functions, performing dust collection and mopping synchronously, thus realizing one-step cleaning. In addition, the dust collection component is positioned at the front end of the mop component, solving the problem where dust or hair on the ground moves along with the mopping, thus improving labor productivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Yongdong Wang, Bin Li

Publication number: 20190090704Abstract: A vacuum cleaner basically includes a motor, first and second inlets and a cover. The motor is configured to create flow through a suction path. The first inlet and the second inlet are disposed in the housing in fluid communication with the suction path. A cover is pivotably disposed in the second inlet. The cover is movable between a first position in which the second inlet is substantially covered to substantially prevent fluid from flowing through the second inlet and a second position in which fluid is allowed to flow through the second inlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventor: Mark D.
