AI Technical Summary
Existing floor cleaners face challenges in achieving a balance between being lightweight and maneuverable during cleaning while also providing free-standing stability when not in use, due to the packaging of components such as motors, vacuum suction systems, and power supply systems affecting their size, weight, and balance.
A floor cleaner design featuring a pivotally coupled body portion to a cleaner head with a coupling element that transfers weight from support elements to cleaner rollers, allowing for a reclined position for maneuverability and an upright position for stability, using complementary formations and a locking mechanism for secure standing.
The design enables effective cleaning with a lightweight feel and high maneuverability in a reclined position, while providing stable free-standing support in an upright position, even on inclined surfaces, enhancing both cleaning efficiency and storage convenience.
