- the fluid distributor 175 is positioned within the cavity 105 and extends between the first and second side walls 80 , 85 of the head 60 .
- the fluid distributor 175 is spaced from the lateral wall 90 by a first dimension 180 measured parallel to the forward and rearward directions 40 , 45 .
- the fluid distributor 175 is fixedly coupled to the head 60 and is in fluid communication with the liquid tank 50 to dispense the liquid within the liquid tank 50 onto the cleaning surface 15 .
- the fluid distributor 175 is removable from the base 30 .
- a pressurized liquid delivery system is coupled to the liquid tank 50 and the fluid distributor 175 to dispense liquid through at least one nozzle of the fluid distributor 175 at a determined pressure.
- a gravity-feed liquid delivery system is coupled to the liquid tank 50 and the fluid distributor 175 to dispense liquid through the fluid distributor 175 due to gravity.
- the fluid distributor 175 can be positioned in the front opening 110 (e.g., in front of the second brush roll 65 b ) or coupled to the lateral wall 90 (e.g., behind the first brush roll 65 a ).
- the base 30 can include more than one fluid distributor 175 .
- the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b are independently removable from the base 30 to facilitate cleaning of the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b.
- the cover 120 is disconnected from the base 30 by actuating the latch 140 from the inlet 130 ( FIG. 5 ).
- the cover 120 moves relative to the base 30 and the fluid distributor 175 allowing physical access to the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b while the base 30 is supported on the cleaning surface 15 .
- the cover 120 is opened or removed, which also fluidly decouples the nozzle outlet 141 from the conduit 135 , the user is able to touch the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b to inspect the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b and/or remove the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b from the base 30 .
- the cover 120 is movable relative to the base 30 to open the top 75 of the base 30 allowing removal of the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b from the base 30 through the top 75 of the base 30 adjacent the fluid distributor 175 . As shown in FIG.
- the first brush roll 65 a is positioned between the fluid distributor 175 and the lateral wall 90 such that the first brush roll 65 a moves past the fluid distributor 175 in an upward vertical direction 185 as the first brush roll 65 a is removed from the base 30 .
- the vertical direction 185 is perpendicular to the forward and rearward directions 40 , 45 . In other embodiments, the vertical direction 185 can be obliquely oriented relative to the directions 40 , 45 .
- an intermediate cover is provided between the cover 120 and the brush roll 65 a, 65 b that is accessible and openable or removable when the cover 120 is disconnected.
- the fluid distributor 175 is positioned on the base 30 as to not impede removal of the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b. Accordingly, the cover 120 and the fluid distributor 175 allow for easy access, removal, and cleaning of the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b while the extractor 10 is in the upright position ( FIG. 1 ).
- the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b are independently coupled to the base 30 .
- the first brush roll 65 a is insertable into the cavity 105 between the fluid distributor 175 and the lateral wall 90 in a downward vertical direction 190 from the top 75 to the bottom 70 of the base 30 .
- the downward vertical direction 190 is opposite the upward direction 185 .
- the downward vertical direction 190 can be obliquely oriented relative to the forward and rearward directions 40 , 45 .
- the first dimension 180 of the base 30 is greater than the maximum dimension 170 of the first brush roll 65 a allowing the first brush roll 65 a to be inserted between the lateral wall 90 and the fluid distributor 175 .
- the first deformable brush members 145 a can include a dimension greater than the first dimension 180 of the base 30 causing the first deformable brush members 145 a to contact the lateral wall 90 and/or the fluid distributor 175 and deform while the first brush roll 65 a is inserted into the cavity 105 .
- the first recess 155 a receives the first drive protrusion 95 a to provide a pivot point for the first brush roll 65 a to then pivot the first base mount 160 a into engagement with the first support 100 a.
- the engagement between the first base mount 160 a and the first support 100 a can be a snap fit engagement, or the like, to hold the first brush roll 65 a to the base 30 .
- the first drive protrusion 95 a is operable to drive the first brush roll 65 a about a first rotational axis concentric with its longitudinal axis 165 a while the first support 100 a and the first base mount 160 a support rotational movement of the first brush roll 65 a.
- the second brush roll 65 b can be coupled to the base 30 in a similar manner as the first brush roll 65 a. When the cover 120 is removed from the base 30 , the second brush roll 65 b is inserted into the cavity 105 between the fluid distributor 175 and the front opening 110 in the downward direction 190 .
- the second brush roll 65 b can also be coupled to the base 30 by inserting the second brush roll 65 b through the front opening 110 in a rearward horizontal direction 195 perpendicular to the downward direction 190 (e.g., parallel to the rearward direction 45 ). In other embodiments, the second brush roll 65 b can be inserted into the cavity 105 at any angle between the downward direction 190 and the horizontal direction 195 .
- the second recess 155 b receives the second drive protrusion 95 b to provide a pivot point for the second brush roll 65 b to then pivot the second base mount 160 b into engagement with the second support 100 b.
- the engagement between the second base mount 160 b and the second support 100 b can be a snap fit engagement, or the like, to hold the second brush roll 65 b to the base 30 .
- the second drive protrusion 95 b is operable to drive the second brush roll 65 b about a second rotational axis concentric with its longitudinal axis 165 b while the second support 100 b and the second base mount 160 b support rotational movement of the second brush roll 65 b.
- the steps to couple the first and second brush rolls 65 a, 65 b to the base 30 are reversed to remove the first and second brush rolls 65 a, 65 b from the base 30 .
- the cover 120 is coupled to the base 30 by actuating the latch 140 on the inlet 130 , thus blocking access to the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b as the base 30 is supported on the surface 15 .
- the fluid distributor 175 is manually coupled to the base 30 by the user before the cover 120 is coupled to the base 30 .
- the fluid distributor 175 is coupled to the base 30 in response to the cover 120 being coupled to the base 30 .
- the suction motor 25 provides an airflow from the nozzle inlet 139 through the nozzle passageway 136 and the conduit 135 to the recovery tank 55 to draw debris into the recovery tank 55 .
- the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b are driven about their rotational axes 165 a , 165 b to agitate the cleaning surface 15 to loosen debris that is attached to or embedded in the cleaning surface 15 allowing the airflow to more easily collect the debris.
- the cleaning liquid within the liquid tank 50 is selectively applied to the cleaning surface 15 by the fluid distributor 175 to help further loosen the debris and clean the surface 15 .
- the fluid distributor 175 is positioned between the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b such that the cleaning liquid is dispensed between the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b.
- the fluid distributor 175 is positioned above the rotational axes 165 a, 165 b of the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b in the upward direction 185 , thus in some embodiments, some of the cleaning liquid is dispensed directly onto the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b (e.g., to help clean the brush rolls 65 a, 65 b during operation).
