SURFACE CLEANING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032758 titled 'SURFACE CLEANING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surface cleaning apparatus that includes a recovery tank with an extraction nozzle and a motor/fan assembly. The apparatus also includes an air/liquid separator assembly that can be inserted into the recovery tank.

  • The recovery tank has a bottom wall with an opening and is in fluid communication with the extraction nozzle.
  • The motor/fan assembly generates a working airflow to transport debris-containing fluid from the extraction nozzle into the recovery tank.
  • The air/liquid separator assembly includes a riser tube with a liquid conduit and an air conduit, as well as a float assembly coupled with the air conduit.
  • A coupling joins the air/liquid separator assembly with the recovery tank.

Potential Applications:

  • Surface cleaning in various industries such as janitorial services, automotive detailing, and manufacturing.
  • Cleaning of floors, carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficiently separates air and liquid in the debris-containing fluid, preventing clogging and improving the performance of the cleaning apparatus.
  • Provides a convenient and effective method for collecting and disposing of debris during surface cleaning.

Benefits:

  • Improved cleaning efficiency and effectiveness due to the working airflow generated by the motor/fan assembly.
  • Prevents clogging and extends the lifespan of the cleaning apparatus by separating air and liquid.
  • Easy disposal of debris with the recovery tank and the air/liquid separator assembly.



Original Abstract Submitted

a surface cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface includes a recovery tank with a lower portion with a bottom wall that defines an opening and an extraction nozzle that is in fluid communication with the recovery tank. a motor/fan assembly is in fluid communication with the extraction nozzle and the recovery tank to generate a working airflow to transport debris-containing fluid including air and liquid from the extraction nozzle into the recovery tank. the surface cleaning apparatus also includes an air/liquid separator assembly that is selectively insertable into the recovery tank. the air/liquid separator assembly includes a riser tube with a liquid conduit integrally formed with an air conduit and a float assembly that is operably coupled with the air conduit. a coupling joins the air/liquid separator assembly with the recovery tank.
