Abstract
According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors BRUNNER, Charles S. (Stockton, NJ, US); MATHIEU, Margaret (East Greenwich, RI, US), filed on June 20, 2023, was made available online on January 18, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The following is not an admission that anything discussed below is part of the prior art or part of the common general knowledge of a person skilled in the art. “A surface cleaning apparatus may be used to clean a variety of surfaces. Some surface cleaning apparatuses include a rotating agitator (e.g., brush roll). One example of a surface cleaning apparatus includes a vacuum cleaner which may include a rotating agitator as well as a vacuum source. Non-limiting examples of cleaners include robotic vacuums, robotic sweepers, multi-surface robotic cleaners, wet/dry robotic cleaners, upright vacuum cleaners, canister vacuum cleaners, stick vacuum cleaners, and central vacuum systems. “Within the field of robotic and autonomous cleaning devices, there are a range of form factors and features that have been developed to meet a range of cleaning requirements. However, certain cleaning applications remain a challenge.
