Abstract

A hand-held surface cleaning device consistent with aspects of the present disclosure includes a body (or body portion) with a motor, power source and dust cup disposed therein. The body portion also functions as a handgrip to allow the hand-held surface cleaning device to be operated by one hand, for example.

Claims (36)

1. A docking system comprising:

a hand-held surface cleaning device comprising:

a handle at a first end of the hand-held surface cleaning device,

a nozzle with a dirty air inlet at a second end of the hand-held surface cleaning device,

a motor for generating suction and drawing debris into the dirty air inlet,

at least one battery disposed in the handle for energizing the motor, and

a dust cup for receiving and storing the debris; and

a dock comprising:

a base configured to support a receptacle on a horizontal surface,

the receptacle defining a cavity for receiving the nozzle, the receptacle being configured to support the hand-held surface cleaning device with the handle extending away from the base at a fixed acute angle relative to the horizontal surface and with the nozzle disposed in the cavity.

2. The docking system according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the dust cup is positioned below the nozzle.

3. The docking system according to claim 1 , wherein the dust cup is positioned substantially coaxially with respect to the motor.

4. The docking system according to claim 1 , wherein the motor and the dust cup are disposed in a cavity defined by the hand-held surface cleaning device.

5. The docking system according to claim 1 , the hand-held surface cleaning device further comprises a dust-cup release coupled to the dust cup and configured to allow the dust cup to transition from a closed orientation wherein the debris is retained in the dust cup to a release orientation for emptying the debris from the dust cup.

6. The docking system according to claim 1 , wherein the dust cup is separate from the nozzle and is rotatably coupled to a hinge and configured to rotate about the hinge relative to the nozzle to transition between a closed orientation wherein the dust cup is fluidly coupled with motor and the dirty air inlet of the nozzle, and a release orientation wherein the dust cup is decoupled from the motor and the dirty air inlet of the nozzle to allow the debris stored in the dust cup to exit from an opening of the dust cup, and wherein the dust cup remains rotatably coupled to the hinge in the release orientation.

7. The docking system according to claim 1 , the hand-held surface cleaning device further comprising a door pivotally coupled to a first end of the dust cup and having a closed position for retaining the debris in the dust cup and an open position for emptying the debris from the dust cup.

8. The docking system according to claim 7 , wherein the door is configured to rotate about an axis at the first end of the dust cup.

9. The docking system according to claim 7 , wherein the door is positioned below the nozzle and configured to pivot from the closed position to the open position when the nozzle is coupled to the device.

10. The docking system according to claim 7 , wherein the door is disposed at the first end of the dust cup in both the closed position and the open position.

11. The docking system according to claim 7 , wherein the dust cup is removable from the device.

12. The docking system according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is removable from the device and the device further comprises a valve body coupled to the nozzle, the valve body being positioned to prevent the debris from exiting the dust cup through the nozzle dirty air inlet in absence of suction provided by the motor, the valve body being configured to be displaced when suction is generated by the motor to allow the debris to be drawn into the dust cup through the nozzle dirty air inlet.

13. A docking system comprising:

a hand-held surface cleaning device comprising:

a handle at a first end of the hand-held surface cleaning device,

a nozzle with a dirty air inlet at a second end of the hand-held surface cleaning device,

a motor for generating suction and drawing debris into the dirty air inlet,

at least one battery disposed in the handle for energizing the motor, and

a dust cup for receiving and storing the debris, at least a portion of the dust cup being positioned below the nozzle with the nozzle extending forwardly relative to the dust cup; and

a dock comprising:

a base configured to support a receptacle on a horizontal surface,

the receptacle defining a cavity for receiving the nozzle, the receptacle being configured to support the hand-held surface cleaning device with the handle extending away from the base at a fixed acute angle relative to the horizontal surface and with the nozzle disposed in the cavity.

14. The docking system according to claim 13 , wherein the dust cup is separate from the nozzle and is rotatably coupled to a hinge and configured to rotate about the hinge relative to the nozzle to transition between a closed orientation wherein the dust cup is fluidly coupled with motor and the dirty air inlet of the nozzle, and a release orientation wherein the dust cup is decoupled from the motor and the dirty air inlet of the nozzle to allow the debris stored in the dust cup to exit from an opening of the dust cup, and wherein the dust cup remains rotatably coupled to the hinge in the release orientation.

15. The docking system according to claim 13 , the hand-held surface cleaning device further comprising a door pivotally coupled to a first end of the dust cup and having a closed position for retaining the debris in the collection area and an open position for emptying the debris from the collection area.

16. The docking system according to claim 15 , wherein the door is configured to rotate about an axis at the first end of the dust cup.

17. The docking system according to claim 15 , wherein the door is positioned below the nozzle and configured to pivot from the closed position to the open position when the nozzle is coupled to the device.

18. The docking system according to claim 13 , wherein the nozzle is removable from the device and device further comprises a valve body coupled to the nozzle, the valve body being positioned to prevent the debris from exiting the dust cup through the nozzle dirty air inlet in absence of suction provided by the motor, the valve body being configured to be displaced when suction is generated by the motor to allow the debris to be drawn into the dust cup through the nozzle dirty air inlet.
