摘要:
A hand-held spray bottle (10, 400, 500, 500') is provided, which includes a liquid reservoir (12, 52, 88, 510), a liquid outlet (14, 74, 89, 508), an electrolysis cell (18, 50, 80, 406, 552, 708, 804), a power source (32, 402, 542) and a DC-to-DC converter (1004). The electrolysis cell (18, 50, 80, 406, 552, 708, 804) is carried by the spray bottle (10, 400, 500, 500') and is fluidically coupled between the reservoir (12, 52, 88, 510) and the liquid outlet (14, 74, 89, 508). The power source (32, 402, 542) is carried by the spray bottle (10, 400, 500, 500') and has a voltage output. The DC-to-DC converter (1004) is coupled between the voltage output and the electrolysis cell (18, 50, 80, 406, 552, 708, 804) and provides a stepped-up voltage, which is greater than the voltage output of the power source (32, 402, 542), to energize the electrolysis cell (18, 50, 80, 406, 552, 708, 804).
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for energizing an electrolysis cell (10, 50, 72) receiving a liquid to be electrochemically activated and contacting the liquid with an exposed, conductive tip (104) of a voltage detector (120). The voltage detector (120) generates a humanly-perceptible indicator (106) as a function of charge movement sensed by the voltage detector (120) through the liquid.

A surface cleaning apparatus (100, 300, 370, 380, 500) is provided. The apparatus includes a mobile body (102, 306, 381) configured to travel over a surface (125, 302), a cleaning device (110, 112, 308, 314, 375, 385) carried by the mobile body (102, 306, 381), a liquid flow path (16, 17, 18, 59, 70, 71, 160, 160A, 160B), and an electrolyzing device (10, 40, 50, 161, 162, 163, 324, 325, 326, 503, 504, 505) in the liquid flow path (16, 17, 18, 59, 70, 71, 160, 160A, 160B).
