The robot cleaner is capable of climbing up a higher stepped portion than in conventional cases.

The invention discloses a special automatic dust collecting cloth rolling machine for cloth processing. The special automatic dust collecting cloth rolling machine for cloth processing comprises a rack, wherein an unreeling roller and a reeling roller are separately mounted on the left and right outer walls of the rack; two partition plates successively partition the inner cavity of the rack intoa dust collecting chamber, a steam drying chamber and a wrinkle-removing chamber; a dust collecting box is mounted on the top of the dust collecting chamber; and a steam drier is arranged on the steamdrying chamber. The special automatic dust collecting cloth rolling machine for cloth processing provided by the invention is simple to operate. Arc-shaped rubber brushing hairs are arranged on the outer walls of two dust collecting wheels, and the rotating directions of the two dust collecting wheels are opposite to the cloth forwarding direction, so that dust and cloth chips on the outer wall of the cloth can be eliminated effectively. Steam drying holes are formed in the surface of the steam drying roller, so that the cloth is dried, deodorized, enhanced in aroma, dry-washed and sterilizedconveniently, the storage period of the cloth without dust is improved effectively, the steam dried cloth is ironed by means of an electric heating plate, wrinkles on the surface of the cloth are eliminated conveniently, and the levelness of the cloth is improved effectively.

A domestic appliance such as a cyclonic vacuum cleaner includes a component such as separating apparatus, carried by a chassis. A catch is provided and is operable to release the component from the chassis. The component and the chassis are able to move slightly with respect to each other. When the appliance is lifted, lugs on the separating apparatus move into slots on the chassis so as to inhibit release of the catch when the appliance is lifted. Thus, accidental release of the separating apparatus from the chassis is avoided.

A vacuum container mounted on an inclined slope and having a liquid water storage container mounted beneath the incline of the vacuum container. The water storage container may support the vacuum container. The slope may be of sufficient angle to allow debris to be emptied from the vacuum container by gravity when the access door is opened. A filter housing may be mounted to and supported by the vacuum container. By flush mounting the clean out end of the filter housing with the clean out end of the vacuum container, a single access clean out door may be used to access both simultaneously. This compact design provides efficient interaction and plumbing between the water tank, vacuum tank and filter housing as well as concentrating weight and reducing floor space.

An automatic cart wash apparatus. The automatic cart wash apparatus provides improved cleaning of stock carts on a regular basis over manual cleaning by store employees. The automatic cart wash apparatus includes three main stages: a debris removal (vacuum) stage, a cleaning (wash, sanitize, rinse) stage, and a drying stage. The debris removal stage uses forced air and / or suction to remove solid and generally non-soluble waste, such as a paper or other trash and debris, from a stock cart. The cleaning stage uses a selection of detergents, sanitizing agents, and rinse agents to remove soluble or sticky waste, such as food and liquids, and to kill germs, viruses, and bacteria present on the cart. The drying stage removes excess liquids from the cart making it ready for use by the next customer.

An upright surface treating appliance includes a main body having a user operable handle, a surface treating head connected to a yoke moveable relative to the main body, a stand moveable relative to both the main body and the yoke between a supporting position for supporting the main body in an upright position, and a retracted position, and a stand retaining mechanism for releasably retaining the stand in the supporting position and from which the stand is releasable upon application of a force to one of the main body and the stand. The yoke is moveable relative to the main body in response to an impact on the surface treating head to apply said force to the stand. This allows the force of the impact on the surface treating head to be transferred through the stand to the stand retaining mechanism, which, depending on the magnitude of the impact, can release both the stand and the yoke for movement relative to the main body. This avoids the need to provide separate releasing mechanisms for both the yoke and the stand.
