CLEANER HANDLE AND CLEANER HANDLE HOUSING SECTIONS
First Claim
1. A cleaner handle for use on a cleaner, comprising:
- a first distal end where particles are to be drawn into the handle and a hose receiver at a second distal end for connection to a suction hose where the particles are to be drawn out of the handle;
a grasping section for manipulating the cleaner; and
an illuminator housing and a light within the illuminator housing, the light being oriented to illuminate with visible light an area that is being cleaned with the cleaner.

Abstract
Handle has status indicators viewable by operator while viewing location being cleaned and using handle in ordinary cleaning position, and light illuminating location being cleaned. Indicators are LED lamps. Light is an LED lamp. Microphone senses particles and illuminates an indicator. Indicators and light are provided in a housing section that forms part of a housing for handle. Housing section may be integrated with the remainder of the housing, or may be unit that fits into remainder of housing. Light has central axis generally parallel, within approximately five degrees from parallel, with cleaning axis of handle. Indicators each have a central axis generally parallel, within approximately 5 degrees from parallel, with cleaning axis of handle. The indicators have limited beam angle. Indicator viewable over grasping section of handle from towards distal end of handle. The cleaner may be a vacuum cleaner, which may be a central vacuum cleaner.
