Abstract: A suction nozzle for use with an extraction cleaner having a suction source includes a tool body and a front cover connected to the tool body. The tool body includes a rear wall. The tool body defines an exhaust port configured to connect to the suction source. The front cover and the rear wall together define an extraction nozzle volume having a suction inlet. The tool body defines a pair of air vents situated above the suction inlet. The front cover has a pair of side walls. In some embodiments, lateral edges of the side walls adjacent to the suction inlet define an arcuate notch for introducing a slipstream into the extraction nozzle volume.

Abstract: A handheld cleaner includes a housing that at least partially defines an air pathway and a suction nozzle that defines a nozzle inlet in communication with a suction pathway. The suction pathway is configured to extract at least one of debris or liquid from a surface to the air pathway. An exhaust defines an outlet to the air pathway. A suction source is in fluid communication with the suction nozzle via the suction pathway. The suction source is configured to generate a working air stream. An operation angle sensor is configured to detect an operation angle of the handheld cleaner relative to the surface. A controller is in electrical communication with the suction source and the operation angle sensor via an electrical pathway. The controller is configured to control an amount of suction generated by the suction source based on the detected operation angle.

Abstract: A handheld extraction cleaner includes a unitary body provided with a carry handle, and further provided with a supply tank, a suction nozzle, a recovery tank, and a suction source, all of which are carried by the unitary body. In one aspect, the recovery tank is configured to optimize the usable volume within the tank and a user's view of the collected dirty liquid within the tank, among other functions. In another aspect the recovery tank has an auto-close feature that automatically seals an outlet of the tank when the recovery tank is mounted to a tank receiver of the unitary body. In yet another aspect, the extraction cleaner has an agitator that slides out from a side of the unitary body. In still another aspect, the suction nozzle includes a cleaning angle guide skid to orient the extraction cleaner at an optimal cleaning angle. In a further aspect, the supply tank is a non-removable part located at a rear of the unitary body.
