Embodiment Construction

[0018] Referring to the drawings, the surface cleaning apparatus has a surface cleaning head 10 having a body (shown generally at 12) including a first portion 18 and a second portion 14 that are movable relative to each other. When placed adjacent to a surface to be cleaned, the body 12 defines a coverage area on the surface to be cleaned, ie the area of ​​the surface area covered by the body 12 . The first portion 18 and the second portion 14 of the body 12 can be configured in a first configuration (such as figure 1 , image 3 and Figure 4 shown) and the second configuration (as figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown) such that the area of ​​the coverage area in the first configuration is larger than the area of ​​the coverage area in the second configuration.

[0019] In some embodiments, and as shown in the figures, the body 12 includes a third portion 16 that is movable relative to the first portion 18 between a first position and a second position. In the firs...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a surface cleaning apparatus including a cleaning head having a body that defines a footprint to sit adjacent a surface to be cleaned, the body including first and second parts that are moveable relative to one another between a first configuration and a second configuration, such that the area of the footprint is greater when in the first configuration than when in the second configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface cleaning device. And more particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning a surface, such as a floor or a wall, using a steam source. It should be understood that the present invention is applicable to many other types of surface cleaning equipment, such as carpet cleaning appliances / vacuum cleaners. Background technique [0002] The use of steam cleaners to clean floors and other surfaces is well known. For cleaning floor surfaces, steam cleaners typically have a cleaning head that includes a body that can be moved by the user over the surface to be cleaned, the body being adapted to carry a cleaning pad formed of fabric / textile or other material having steam-permeable absorbent properties. Elements or cleaning elements adapted to carry fabrics / textiles or other materials having vapor permeable absorbent properties. Steam (or very hot water) is expelled from the body a...
