ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER WITH REMOVABLE DUST CONTAINER
First Claim
1. A robotic vacuum cleaner, including:
- a housing defining a dust container reception compartment that has a dust container reception opening in an outer surface of the housing;
a dust container configured to be removably receivable inside the dust container reception compartment via the dust container reception opening, such that,in an operationally received condition, an outer push surface of the dust container is flush with the outer surface of the housing, whilein a removably received condition, the push surface of the dust container protrudes outwardly from said outer surface of the housing; and
a push-push mechanism that is configured to maintain a received dust container in said operationally received condition when the push surface of the dust container is pushed inwards into the housing and released a first time, and to force the dust container from said operationally received condition into the removably received condition when pushed inwards into the housing and released a second time.
