Description
A47L encompasses domestic washing and cleaning appliances, including both traditional wet-cleaning equipment and suction-based cleaning devices for household use. This subclass covers washing machines, dishwashers, carpet cleaners, vacuum cleaners, and related mechanical or electrical appliances designed for removing dirt, stains, or debris from domestic surfaces, fabrics, and dishware. The classification also includes components and accessories integral to such appliances, such as filters, brushes, nozzles, and control mechanisms. Adjacent classes A47B (furniture) and A47G (table and bed articles) are excluded; suction cleaners for industrial or medical purposes are classified separately in their respective technical fields.
