Systems and methods for providing a wand for a floor cleaning apparatus

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a wand that is configured to clean a surface, such as carpeting and rugs, are disclosed herein. While the described wand can comprise any suitable component that allows it to be used to clean a surface, in some cases, the wand includes a wand head having a shroud, with a jet orifice and a vacuum port being disposed within the shroud. In some such cases, the vacuum port includes a breaker bar that is recessed within the shroud such that a portion of the shroud extends past the breaker bar. Additionally, in some cases, the shroud further includes one or more rollers that are optionally adjustable in height such that the wand head can is useable by operators of varying heights. In some cases, the wand head is coupled to a vacuum tube that attaches to a vacuum. Additional implementations are also described herein.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wand head comprising:
 a vacuum port defined in the wand head;   a first chamber defined in the wand head, adjacent to the vacuum port;   a jet that is configured to spray effluent through the first chamber and to a surface to be cleaned; and   a breaker bar that is disposed between the vacuum port and the first chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The wand head of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more lips that extend from a backside of the wand head, wherein the   one or more lips substantially extend across a width of the wand head; and   one or more rollers that coupled to the wand head, wherein the one or more rollers substantially extend across a width of the wand head.
