Vacuum cleaner

Vacuum cleaner housing

A wet extraction floor cleaning device having a base assembly adapted for movement on a surface being cleaned, an operating handle pivotally attached to the base assembly, a supply tank having a supply tank outlet, and a recovery tank having a recovery tank inlet and a recovery tank outlet. The base assembly has an inlet nozzle that extends from an inlet slit proximal the surface being cleaned to a nozzle outlet. The device further includes a fluid deposition assembly that can be selectively placed in fluid communication with the supply tank outlet, a vacuum source, and first and second external pockets. The supply and recovery tanks are adapted to be selectively placed in the first and second external pockets, thereby placing the supply tank outlet in fluid communication with the fluid deposition system, the recovery tank inlet in fluid communication with the nozzle outlet, and the recovery tank outlet in fluid communication with the vacuum source inlet.

Wet extractor valve system

Linear agitator for wet extractor

Central vacuum

A vacuum cleaner dirt containment system with a bag chamber having an open end, an outlet adapted to be in fluid communication with a vacuum fan inlet located on the vacuum cleaner housing, and a plurality of locator ribs extending from an inner wall of the bag chamber. Each locator rib has a landing adjacent an inner wall of the bag chamber, and a pin located inward of the landing and extending from the landing towards the open end of the bag chamber. A filter bag assembly is adapted to be inserted into the bag chamber, and has a flange attached to an open end of a permeable filter bag. A flange air inlet passes through the flange into the bag. The flange has openings located to be inserted over the locator rib pins, and support segments located to abut the locator rib landings. The lid is selectively attachable to the open end of the bag chamber, and includes an air inlet mounting tube that extends into the flange air inlet when the lid is attached to the open end of the bag chamber. A bag having locating features and variations of the foregoing are also provided.
