Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a housing, a base operably coupled to the housing, a supply tank, and a spray bar assembly in fluid communication with the supply tank. The spray bar assembly includes a cover that defines a protrusion and a body coupled to the cover. The body includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet each in fluid communication with an interior. A first reservoir is defined within the interior. The first reservoir is disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The protrusion is disposed within the first reservoir to reduce a volume capacity of the first reservoir. A second reservoir is defined within the interior proximate to the first reservoir. A fluid flow path through the spray bar assembly is defined from the fluid inlet, through the first reservoir and the second reservoir, and through the fluid outlet.

Abstract: A surface cleaner may have various features including an engagement mechanism secured to an agitator support frame and positioned to be pivoted by an agitator lift lever as the agitator lift lever translates, the pivoting engagement mechanism lifting the agitator support frame and the agitator secured thereto from a lowered position to a raised position. Other features may include a projection to limit belt slack when the agitator assembly is raised, a compact detent mechanism for releasing a spine assembly in an upright surface cleaner, a compact motor drive assembly, a self-priming centrifugal pump, a fluid-dispensing system having a high flow operating state and a low flow operating state, and a clean-out tray in which a base of the surface cleaner may be docked.

Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus is provided with a primary fluid distributor and an auxiliary fluid distributor. Each distributor can have a separate and independent flow control actuator. The flow control actuator for the auxiliary fluid distributor is operably coupled with a push-push flow control mechanism, where push-push flow control mechanism has a push on/push off configuration such that pushing the auxiliary flow control actuator once starts fluid flow from the auxiliary fluid distributor and subsequently pushing the auxiliary flow control actuator again stops fluid flow from the auxiliary fluid distributor.
