    Abstract: A connecting element for coupling of the suction pipe (3) of a suction cleaner to a mouthpiece (2) having a suction sole (9) with an abutment surface (10) and an elongated suction slot which debouches on the abutment surface (10) of the suction sole (9), and wherein the connecting element comprises flexible joints (4, 5, 7, 8) which may transmit an angle change of the suction pipe (3) of the vacuum cleaner about the longitudinal axis of the suction pipe to a rotation of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece in the plane of the abutment surface (10), and also allows a freedom of movement between the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece (2) and the vacuum cleaner suction pipe (3) whereby the abutment surface may freely assume different orientations relative to the longitudinal axis of the suction pipe. According to the invention the flexible joint has a freedom of movement which allows the suction pipe to be freely movable about an axis (8a) which is parallel with the suction slot in an angle (.alpha.) outwards to both sides of a plane (11) which is perpendicular to the plane of the abutment surface (10) and extends along and through the elongated suction slot, and the suction pipe (3) has or may assume an angle (.beta.) in the plane (11) which is perpendicular to the plane of the abutment surface (10), said angle (.beta.) being, relative to the plane (10) of the abutment surface, less than 80.degree..

    Abstract: A method of operating a vacuum device includes operating the vacuum device. Voltage is provided to a turbine of the vacuum device to spin a rotary element of the turbine. A flow of air is drawn through a portion of the vacuum device in response to spinning the rotary element of the turbine. A pressure difference between a first location inside the vacuum device and a second location inside the vacuum device. The first location is disposed upstream relative to a direction of the flow of air from the turbine. The first location is also disposed downstream relative to the direction of the flow of air from a filter element of the vacuum device. An amount of voltage across the turbine is adjusted in response to the measured pressure difference. A performance characteristic of the turbine is monitored.

    Abstract: A method of operating a cleaning machine can include determining if a human is detected nearby. If a human is not detected, the process can restart. If a human is detected, then a determination can be made if there is emergency information to show. If there is emergency information to be shown, then the emergency information can be shown. If there is no emergency information to be shown, then an attention seeking mode can be enabled. The presence of a target group can be determined. The availability of content relevant to the target group can be determined. If content relevant to the target group is available, then the content can be displayed. If content relevant to the target group is not available, then the method can restart or return to a previous step.

    Abstract: A heating unit for heating a fluid includes a tank, a burner element, and a lower unit. The tank defines top and bottom ends and includes an outer wrap, an inner wrap, and a cooling chamber. The outer wrap extends along an axial centerline defined by the tank. The inner wrap is disposed within the outer wrap. The cooling chamber is defined in-part by and is disposed between the inner and outer wraps along a radial direction of the tank. The burner element is disposed on the top end of the tank. The blower unit is disposed on the bottom end of the tank and is in fluid communication with the burner element via the cooling chamber. An outlet of the blower unit is disposed along the axial centerline of the tank.

    Abstract: The invention provides an autonomous surface treatment vehicle, e.g. a floor cleaner, with an autonomy system navigating according to a map, a scanning sensor to detect a position of an obstacle within a scanning zone and generate a detection signal. A safety system is arranged to generate a safety stop in case the detection signal indicates an obstacle within a safety zone. The safety system can enter a special mode of operation, e.g. upon request from the autonomy system, where a special safety zone selection algorithm selects the safety zone e.g. from a special set of pre-determined safety zones. Especially, such special mode can provide safety zones with a relaxed speed limit in combination with a restricted direction limit, so as to provide a faster driving near a wall or similar known obstacle.

    Abstract: A method for operating a suction-type cleaner, in which, in a manner controlled in the filter dedusting position by an electromagnetically actuated switchover valve arrangement (19, 20, 21), at least one filter (9), through which the dirt-laden air flow passes, is dedusted in the opposite direction to said air flow, and the dirt-laden suction air from the dirt-collecting container (1) firstly passes through the at least one filter (9) which is adjoined, in the flow direction, by a suction chamber (12), which is adjoined downstream by an intermediate chamber (26) which is arranged on the suction side of the turbine (30), and a pressure chamber (34) is arranged downstream of the turbine (30), wherein, in order to reduce the actuating force of the switchover valve arrangement (19, 20, 21) in the dedusting position of the suction-type cleaner, the pressure between the pressure chamber (34) and the intermediate chamber (26) is equalized.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor-sweeper for cleaning large surfaces such as streets or industrial facilities. In particular it refers to an apparatus for collecting garbage and debris from the ground to apply to a motor-sweeper, wherein the broom for collecting garbage always remains adherent to the ground and the space between the garbage conveyor assembly toward the collecting container and the broom, and between the broom and the container remains uniform despite the wear of the brooms. Thus, the cleaning capability is not lost and the machine efficiency is improved.
