摘要： A floor cleaning device comprises a base portion for movement along a surface and a handle portion pivotally connected to the base. The base portion further includes a suction nozzle and a brush assembly for agitating the surface, wherein the brush assembly and the nozzle assembly are in a first position raised off of the surface for vacuuming the surface, and the nozzle assembly is lowered to a second position contacting the surface for collecting and picking up liquid and dirt from the surface. A method of cleaning a surface by first dry vacuuming the surface using a cleaning unit in which the nozzle assembly is raised to pick up particles and then wet vacuuming the floor with the nozzle assembly lowered to collect and pick up dirt from the floor mixed with cleaning solution distributed on the floor.

摘要： A vacuum system is described in which a hollow vacuum housing is provided with an intake plenum leading from an open bottom housing end of the housing to a vacuum line connector. A vacuum pump is attached to the vacuum line to produce suction through the intake plenum. A hot air housing is situated within the hollow vacuum housing and includes a hot air discharge plenum. The hot air discharge plenum is defined by a wall within the intake plenum, leading from an open bottom end that is substantially circumscribed by the intake plenum. A hot air blower on the hot air housing moves hot air downwardly. The hot air moves against the surface being cleaned or dried and is subsequently drawn back upwardly through the intake plenum. At least one and preferably two compressed injection air discharge lines are positioned within the hot air housing. Each line includes compressed injection air discharge openings oriented to direct air downwardly and angularly toward the intake plenum, carrying the hot air in the same direction. A fluid discharge line is positioned within the intake plenum adjacent the bottom end and includes fluid discharge openings oriented to direct pumped fluid downwardly and angularly toward the bottom end of the hot air discharge plenum to impinge upon the surface being cleaned and to be subsequently drawn into the intake plenum.

摘要： A hand-held nozzle is attached to the end of a vacuum and fluid delivery hose of an upright deep cleaner. The nozzle includes a reservoir to contain a solution to be applied to a surface. When a solution delivery system of the deep cleaner is pressurized, water from the upright cleaner clean water tank is routed through the hose to the hand-held nozzle. The water is routed through a venturi valve connected to the reservoir, which draws the solution to the valve to mix with the water stream. The resultant mixture flows from the hand-held nozzle for application to a surface being treated. One embodiment of the solution reservoir includes a retainer cap bonded to the reservoir and utilizing a bayonet-type mounting arrangement for mounting the reservoir to a nozzle assembly.

摘要： A deflooding device includes a suction chamber having a downward facing opening therein and a compression roller protruding downward therefrom. The roller has openings or other structure to allow water to exist beneath and inside the roller while the roller is compressing the carpet nap. A propulsion motor drive system coupled to the roller allows the unit to be self-propelled and driven at variable speeds in forward and reverse across the carpet. Operator weight standing or sitting on the device, with or without ballast or discrete additional weight applies compression of roller on carpet. Coupling from suction chamber to on-board, adjacent, or remote vacuum source is convenient.

摘要： A water circulation cleaner is provided which is capable of easily removing contaminants on a cleaning object through the use of an improved suction head. A plurality of injection nozzles are used to spray cleaning water onto a surface of an object to be cleaned, and a suction port then sucks debris and fluid off of the surface of the cleaning object. An impeller assembly is used to generate this suction force, while a filter device removes debris contained in the suction fluid from the cleaning water. A brush and a duster may be affixed to a lower surface of the suction area of the cleaner, and can be used either alone or in combination to loosen debris from the surface of the object to be cleaned, thus facilitating removal by suction of the debris, and the effective and efficient cleaning of the object.
