Air agitator nozzle system

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing an air agitator nozzle system are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the system comprises a vacuum and a nozzle. The vacuum is configured to suck particles from a floor surface. The nozzle is configured to spray air at the floor surface to loosen the particles and to push the loosened particles toward the vacuum to be sucked from the floor surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
 an exhaust device configured to generate an airflow;   a plurality of nozzles configured to emit the airflow from the vacuum cleaner; and   a manifold configured to direct the airflow from the exhaust device to the plurality of nozzles, wherein an entirety of the manifold is located in front of the plurality of nozzles while the vacuum cleaner is in use.   
     
     
         17 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 16 , wherein:
 the exhaust device comprises a vacuum motor configured to generate suction.   
     
     
         18 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 16 , wherein:
 the airflow comprises a motor exhaust of the vacuum cleaner.   
     
     
         19 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 16 , comprising:
 an agitator brush located behind the manifold.   
     
     
         20 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 16 , comprising:
 a filter.   
     
     
         21 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 16 , comprising:
 a head comprising the plurality of nozzles.   
     
     
         22 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 16 , comprising:
 a housing is in flow communication with the manifold via an air conduit.   
     
     
         23 . A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
 a head configured to suck particles from a surface;   a plurality of nozzles configured to spray air at the surface to loosen the particles and to push the loosened particles toward the head;   an air exhaust configured to move the air that is sprayed from the plurality of nozzles; and   a manifold configured to direct the air from the air exhaust to the plurality of nozzles, wherein an entirety of the manifold is located in front of the plurality of nozzles while the vacuum cleaner is in use.   
     
     
         24 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 23 , comprising:
 an agitator brush disposed in the head, wherein the manifold is disposed in front of the agitator.   
     
     
         25 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 23 , comprising:
 a vacuum motor configured to generate suction and exhaust.   
     
     
         26 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 23 , wherein the air exhaust comprises a motor exhaust of the vacuum cleaner. 
     
     
         27 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 23 , comprising:
 a housing that comprises a filter configured to filter out the sucked particles.   
     
     
         28 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 27 , wherein the housing is in flow communication with the head via a first air conduit. 
     
     
         29 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 28 , wherein:
 the head comprises the manifold, and   the housing is in flow communication with the manifold via a second air conduit.
