All in the head surface cleaning apparatus

An all in the head surface cleaning apparatus comprising

• (a) a surface cleaning head comprising:
• (i) a front end, a rear end, first and second laterally opposed sidewalls and an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet:
• (ii) a brush motor drivingly connected to a moveable brushing member, the brush motor having a brush motor axis;
• (iii) a cyclone comprising a cyclone chamber, the cyclone having a longitudinal cyclone axis, a cyclone air inlet and a cyclone air outlet;
• (iv)a pre-motor filter chamber housing a pre-motor filter, the pre-motor filter chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet, and the pre-motor filter having an upstream face, a downstream face and a pre-motor filter axis that is generally parallel to the upstream and/or downstream face;
• and,
• (v) a suction motor having a first end, a second end, a suction motor inlet and a suction motor axis extending between the first and second ends,
• wherein the surface cleaning head includes a brush chamber and the pre-motor filter extends from a position proximate the brushing member to a position proximate the rear end of the surface cleaning head;
• and
• (b) an upper portion moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a storage position and a floor cleaning position, the upper portion comprising a drive handle.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprising:

• (a) a cyclone comprising a cyclone chamber, the cyclone having a longitudinal cyclone axis, a cyclone air inlet and a cyclone air outlet;
• (b) a pre-motor filter chamber housing a pre-motor filter, the pre-motor filter chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet, and the pre-motor filter having an upstream face and a downstream face;
• and,
• (c) a suction motor having a first end, a second end, a suction motor inlet and a suction motor axis extending between the first and second ends,
• wherein the pre-motor filter chamber air inlet is aligned with the cyclone air outlet, the pre-motor filter chamber air outlet is aligned with the auction motor air inlet and a centreline of the pre-motor filter chamber air inlet is offset from a centreline of the pre-motor filter chamber air outlet.

• and,
• (v) a suction motor having a first end, a second end, a suction motor inlet and a suction motor axis extending between the first and second ends,
• wherein air exiting the cyclone air outlet travels transversely to the pre-motor filter chamber air inlet and air exiting the pre-motor filter chamber air outlet travels in the same transverse direction to the suction motor air inlet;
• and
• (b) an upper portion moveably mounted to the surface cleaning head between a storage position and a floor cleaning position, the upper portion comprising a drive handle.
