The invention provides a mixing apparatus. The mixing apparatus includes a first container, wherein the first container comprises: a first port; and a mixing chamber. The mixing apparatus further includes a second container, wherein the second container is adapted to receive the first container, and a seal disposed between the first container and the second container. In addition, the mixing apparatus includes a channel between the first port and the mixing chamber, wherein the channel is defined by the seal and the first container. In some examples, the seal includes: a first seal portion; and a transition seal portion, the transition portion comprising: a seal split; and an air intake channel.

Mixing apparatus having a seal

A hair cutting appliance is configured to be moved through hair in a moving direction in order to cut hair. The hair cutting appliance includes a housing portion, a blade set having a skin-facing top surface, and a releasable attachment comb. The blade set is arranged pivotably with respect to the housing portion. The attachment comb includes a supporting frame, at least one spacing guard element configured to space the blade set from a working surface when in operation, a mounting portion configured to be attached to a housing portion of the hair cutting appliance, and an orientation determining portion configured to engage the blade set and to define a locking orientation of the blade set when mounted to the hair cutting appliance.

The mixing apparatus includes a first container, wherein the first container comprises: a first port; and a mixing chamber. The mixing apparatus further includes a second container where the second container is adapted to receive the first container, and a seal disposed between the first container and the second container. In addition, the mixing apparatus includes a channel between the first port and the mixing chamber, where the channel is defined by the seal and the first container. In some examples, the seal includes: a first seal portion; and a transition seal portion, the transition portion includes a seal split; and an air intake channel.

The present invention relates to a nozzle arrangement () of a cleaning device () for cleaning a surface (), comprising: &#x2014;a nozzle housing (); &#x2014;a rotating brush () that is rotatable about a brush axis () and comprises a substantially cylindrical core element () with flexible brush elements () that are arranged on a circumferential surface () of the core element (), wherein said brush elements () are configured to contact the surface to be cleaned () and pick up dirt and liquid particles () from the surface to be cleaned () during a rotation of the rotating brush (); &#x2014;a drive for driving the rotating brush (); &#x2014;a liquid supplying arrangement () for supplying a cleansing liquid () to the rotating brush (); &#x2014;a wiping element () for wiping dirt and liquid particles () across or off the surface to be cleaned (), wherein said wiping element () extends along a longitudinal direction (), which is arranged substantially parallel to the brush axis (), and wherein said wiping element () is arranged on a first longitudinal side () of the rotating brush () where the brush elements () enter the nozzle housing () during the rotation of the rotating brush (); and&#x2014;at least one side sealing element () for sealing a lateral side () of the nozzle housing (), wherein the at least one side sealing element () is spaced apart from a transverse side () of the core element () that is transverse to the circumferential surface () of the core element (), such that a gap () is defined between said transverse side () of the core element () and the at least one side sealing element (); wherein the liquid supplying arrangement () is configured to also supply cleaning liquid () to said gap ().

Nozzle arrangement of a cleaning device for cleaning a surface

A nozzle arrangement including a brush provided with brush elements having tip portions for contacting a surface and picking up dirt and/or liquid during rotation of the brush about a brush axis, a driving mechanism for rotating the brush, a first deflector element with a first deflector surface that extends substantially parallel to the brush axis and that interacts with the brush during the rotation of the brush for releasing the picked-up dirt and/or the liquid particles, and a second deflector element that is spaced apart from the brush and the first deflector element, the second deflector element having a second deflector surface that is oriented at an angle to the first deflector surface, wherein the second deflector surface deflects the dirt and/or liquid particles, which are released from the brush at the first deflector surface, into an exhaust channel that begins between the first and second deflector elements.

Cleaning device having a nozzle for cleaning a surface

The present invention relates to a nozzle arrangement () for a cleaning device () for cleaning a surface, the nozzle arrangement comprising: &#x2014;a brush () rotatable about a brush axis (), the brush being provided with flexible brush elements () having tip portions () for contacting the surface to be cleaned () and picking up dirt and/or liquid particles () from the surface () during the rotation of the brush (), wherein the brush () is at least partly surrounded by a nozzle housing () and protrudes at least partly from a bottom side () of the nozzle housing (), &#x2014;a squeegee element () which is spaced apart from the brush () and attached to the bottom side () of the nozzle housing () on a first side () of the brush () where the brush elements () enter the nozzle housing () during the rotation of the brush (), wherein the squeegee element () is configured for wiping dirt and/or liquid particles () across or off the surface to be cleaned () during a movement of the cleaning device () &#x2014;a deflector () for contacting the brush () and deflecting the brush elements () during the rotation of the brush (), and &#x2014;a restriction element () for at least partly restricting air from getting sucked into the nozzle housing () at a second side () of the brush () where the brush elements () leave the nozzle housing (), wherein the restriction element () is, seen in a rotation direction () of the brush (), arranged behind the deflector (), such that the brush elements (), during the rotation of the brush (), contact the deflector () before passing the restriction element () and then leaving the nozzle housing () at the bottom side (), and the restriction element () comprises a mechanically flexible element that is, due to its flexibility, configured to follow an outer surface of the brush () and to contact the tip portions () during the rotation of the brush ().

Cleaning device for cleaning a surface

The present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a surface (), comprising: &#x2014;a brush () rotatable about a brush axis (), said brush () being provided with flexible brush elements () that are substantially uniformly distributed over the periphery of the brush (), wherein the brush () is at least partly surrounded by a nozzle housing () and protrudes at least partially from a bottom side () of said nozzle housing (), which, during use of the device (), faces the surface to be cleaned (), wherein the brush elements (), during the rotation of the brush (), substantially form a sealing with the housing () at a first position () where the brush elements () leave the housing () during the rotation of the brush (), and contact the surface to be cleaned () during the rotation of the brush () at a second position () for picking up dirt particles () and liquid () from said surface (), thereby defining a suction area () in a space between the brush (), said housing () and said surface to be cleaned () which is at least partly sealed at said first and second positions (), &#x2014;a single squeegee element () which is spaced apart from the brush () and attached to the bottom side () of the nozzle housing () on a side of the brush (), where the brush elements () enter the housing () during the rotation of the brush (), wherein said squeegee element () is adapted for pushing or wiping dirt particles and liquid across or off the surface to be cleaned () during movement of the cleaning device (), thereby defining a suction inlet () between the squeegee element () and the brush ()that opens into the suction area (), &#x2014;a drive means for driving the brush () in rotation, and &#x2014;a vacuum aggregate ()which is arranged at a suction outlet ()of the suction area () for generating an under-pressure in said suction area () for ingesting dirt particles () and liquid () from the suction inlet ().
