The present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a surface (20), comprising: —a brush (12) rotatable about a brush axis (14), said brush (12) being provided with flexible brush elements (16) that are substantially uniformly distributed over the periphery of the brush (12), wherein the brush (12) is at least partly surrounded by a nozzle housing (28) and protrudes at least partially from a bottom side (30) of said nozzle housing (28), which, during use of the device (100), faces the surface to be cleaned (20), wherein the brush elements (16), during the rotation of the brush (12), substantially form a sealing with the housing (28) at a first position (33) where the brush elements (16) leave the housing (28) during the rotation of the brush (12), and contact the surface to be cleaned (20) during the rotation of the brush (12) at a second position (35) for picking up dirt particles (22) and liquid (24) from said surface (20), thereby defining a suction area (34) in a space between the brush (12), said housing (28) and said surface to be cleaned (20) which is at least partly sealed at said first and second positions (33, 35), —a single squeegee element (32) which is spaced apart from the brush (12) and attached to the bottom side (30) of the nozzle housing (28) on a side of the brush (12), where the brush elements (16) enter the housing (28) during the rotation of the brush (12), wherein said squeegee element (32) is adapted for pushing or wiping dirt particles and liquid across or off the surface to be cleaned (20) during movement of the cleaning device (100), thereby defining a suction inlet (36) between the squeegee element (32) and the brush (12)that opens into the suction area (34), —a drive means for driving the brush (12) in rotation, and —a vacuum aggregate (38)which is arranged at a suction outlet (47)of the suction area (34) for generating an under-pressure in said suction area (34) for ingesting dirt particles (22) and liquid (24) from the suction inlet (36).

The gap between the bottom of a center gas vent pipe in a battery cell and the bottom of the cell can is established to be at least a minimum distance to reduce the risk of battery damage from inadequate gas venting.

A collapsible modular hat comprises a base having a base connector, a top having a top connector, and a side panel having an upper connector and a lower connector. The base connector of the base is releasably fastened to the lower connector on the side panel, and the top connector of the top is releasably fastened to the upper connector of the side panel.

A device for cleaning a surface (11) comprises at least one rotatable brush (3,4) which is provided with flexible brush elements (18) for contacting the surface (11) and picking up dirt particles (10) and liquid which are present on the surface (11) during a dirt pick-up period of each revolution of the brush (3, 4), and means for driving the brush (3, 4). A linear mass density of the flexible brush elements (18) is chosen such as to be lower than 50 g per 10 km, at least at tip portions, and an acceleration at tips of the brush elements (18) is set such as to be at least 3,000 m / sec2, at least at some time during another period of each revolution of the brush (3, 4) than the dirt pick-up period, namely a period in which the brush elements (18) are free from contact to the surface (11).

In a measurement mechanism for continuously measuring a thickness of a coating layer, provided in an apparatus for forming the coating layer on a conductive elongate base material in a coating treatment base station while the base material is fed, a sensing portion for measuring a capacitance value of the coating layer is arranged before and after the base station, and tension applied to the base material at the sensing portion is set to be greater than tension applied to the base material at the base station. Thus, in forming the coating layer on the elongate base material while the base material is continuously fed, variation in a feeding speed is suppressed, influence of sway of a measurement surface in a direction of thickness at the thickness sensing portion during feeding is minimized, and a thickness of the coating layer can be measured with higher accuracy.

A handle structure including a base portion, a stop portion and a grip portion is provided. The grip portion is connected between the base portion and the stop portion. The handle structure has a cavity therein, the cavity has a bottom surface, and the bottom surface of the cavity is inclined to an axial direction of the grip portion.

The present invention relates to a nozzle arrangement (10) of a cleaning device (100) for cleaning a surface (20), comprising: —a nozzle housing (28); —a rotating brush (12) that is rotatable about a brush axis (14) and comprises a substantially cylindrical core element (52) with flexible brush elements (16) that are arranged on a circumferential surface (56) of the core element (52), wherein said brush elements (16) are configured to contact the surface to be cleaned (20) and pick up dirt and liquid particles (22, 24) from the surface to be cleaned (20) during a rotation of the rotating brush (12); —a drive for driving the rotating brush (12); —a liquid supplying arrangement (58) for supplying a cleansing liquid (68) to the rotating brush (12); —a wiping element (32) for wiping dirt and liquid particles (22, 24) across or off the surface to be cleaned (20), wherein said wiping element (32) extends along a longitudinal direction (48), which is arranged substantially parallel to the brush axis (14), and wherein said wiping element (32) is arranged on a first longitudinal side (27) of the rotating brush (12) where the brush elements (16) enter the nozzle housing (28) during the rotation of the rotating brush (12); and—at least one side sealing element (62a, b) for sealing a lateral side (82a, b) of the nozzle housing (28), wherein the at least one side sealing element (62a, b) is spaced apart from a transverse side (80a, b) of the core element (52) that is transverse to the circumferential surface (56) of the core element (52), such that a gap (84a, b) is defined between said transverse side (80a, b) of the core element (52) and the at least one side sealing element (62a, b); wherein the liquid supplying arrangement (58) is configured to also supply cleaning liquid (68) to said gap (84a, b).
