International Classification:
A47L 9/02
US Classification:
154151
Abstract:
A carpet and floor vacuum device with an improved suction head is provided comprising a curved, fluorinated molding mounted on a vacuum cleaner head. The suction head is designed to move along the surface of the carpet, rather than penetrating into the carpet itself. The polymer molding defines a plurality of inlet perforations laterally-spaced along the curved surface, and the perforations are connected to an air-fed manifold. Following application of cleaning fluid to the carpet or floor, air is fed from the manifold into the carpet or onto the floor. Material including Ingested air, debris and spent liquid, are then removed from the carpet or from the floor and then returned to the perforations from the manifold. This material is then removed to a conventional vacuum collector, thereby drying out the carpet or floor. Use of a curved, fluorinated surface provides a smooth movement along the carpet surface without severely abrading the carpet fibers. When used either on a carpet or floor surface, an air buffer is formed between the suction head, thereby assisting in movement of the vacuuming device. In addition, use of a curved fluorinated surface further reduces abrasion.

International Classification:
A47L 11/40 A47L 11/34
Abstract:
A surface cleaning machine includes a cleaning head having a double glide apparatus formed by a first glide member in front position and a second glide member in rear position. The first and the second glide members are joined together along a portion of their facing walls, a longitudinal cavity being defined therebetween that opens to the surface to be cleaned. Each of the first and the second glide members has one or more suction openings defined in its bottom wall, and the second glide member also has one or more inlet openings defined in its rear wall to receive a cleaning solution, which is delivered through the cavity to a surface to be cleaned and is removed from the surface by action of vacuum applied through the suction openings.

International Classification:
A47L 11/34 A47L 11/40
Abstract:
A cleaning apparatus includes a front portion in distal position, which has a fluid dispenser and a vacuum port; a handle portion in proximal position, which is coupled to and in fluid communication with the front portion and is configured to be held by an operator's hand; and a flow control member, which controls flow of the fluid to the fluid dispenser through a flow control valve and is shaped as a rotatable member extending outwardly from an outer surface of the cleaning apparatus. Both the fluid control member and the flow control valve are disposed distally of the position of the operator's hand.

Abstract:
An adaptive suspension for a rotary cleaning machine includes a hub ring configured to receive a hub member, a plurality of rigid arms that extend radially from the hub ring and each have a proximal end rotatably connected to the hub ring and a distal end configured to be rotatably connected to a suction shoe, and a plurality of flexing arms that extend radially from the hub ring and each have a proximal end rotatably connected to the hub ring at substantially the same angular position as a rigid arm and a distal end connected to the same rigid arm at a radial distance from the proximal end of the rigid arm. The adaptive suspension adapted for use in a rotary cleaning machine and enables independent upward and downward movements of the suction shoes over an uneven surface.
