Abstract:
A cyclone separator assembly comprises at least one cyclone casing defining a cyclone chamber. The cyclone casing comprises a fluid inlet, a separated material outlet, and a fluid outlet. A separated material chamber is in communication with the separated material outlet. The cyclone chamber is openable by movement of a first movable portion, and the separated material chamber is openable by movement of a second movable portion separate from the first movable portion. A surface cleaning apparatus utilizing this construction is also provided. This construction is particularly useable if the separated material chamber is aligned with and below the cyclone chamber. Accordingly, the cyclone chamber and the separated material chamber may be sequentially or concurrently opened.
Abstract:
A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and includes a suction motor. The surface cleaning apparatus may be battery powered and/or may have a power requirement of 200 Watts or less. A cyclone chamber is provided in the air flow path and has an air outlet which is covered by a screen. In one embodiment, there is an absence of a vortex finder. In another embodiment, a vortex finder that extends into the cyclone chamber less than the height of the cyclone inlet and optionally less than the height of the cyclone inlet may be provided.
Abstract:
A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet. The surface cleaning apparatus includes a main body having a front end, a rear end, first and second opposed sidewalls. A cavity having an open upper end is positioned between the first and second opposed side walls. A suction motor provided in the air flow path. A cyclone bin assembly provided in the air flow path. The cyclone bin assembly may have opposed end walls and may be removably mounted in the cavity. Various design improvements are provided.
Abstract:
The alleged invention is directed to a LED light bulb capable of being installed in a light fixture / housing, the LED light bulb comprising a main body having a first end and a second end, at least one LED disposed within the second end of the main body, an electrical connector disposed at the second end of the main body and an adjustment member provided for adjusting the position of the second end of the main body with respect to a rim defining an opening in the light fixture / housing.
Abstract:
Various configurations of cyclone separator assemblies are provided. A cyclone separator useable in a surface cleaning apparatus comprises a cyclone casing defining a cyclone chamber and having first and second opposed ends and a sidewall extending between the first and second ends. In one configuration, a transition member is provided adjacent the end of the cyclone casing distal to the fluid inlet. The transition member has an inner surface that extends inwardly between the sidewall and the distal end. In another configuration, methods of opening the cyclone chamber and the dirt collection chamber are provided. In other configurations the angular position of the dirt outlet and the spacing of the dirt collection chamber from the cyclone chamber are provided.
Abstract:
A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and includes an air treatment member. A suction motor may be provided in the air flow path. A suction motor housing sidewall may comprise a plurality of openings provided in a first side thereof. An outer housing may comprise a longitudinally extending outer housing sidewall having an outer housing air outlet. At least a portion of the suction motor housing that has the plurality of openings is located in the outer housing and spaced from the longitudinally extending outer housing sidewall to define a passage between the outer housing and the suction motor housing. The outer housing air outlet may be angularly spaced around the outer housing with respect to the first side of the suction motor housing.
Abstract:
A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and a main body comprising a suction motor.
