The problem addressed by the invention is the improvement of the handling of a steam-cleaning device floor nozzle for a steam-cleaning device. Said steam-cleaning device comprises a storage tank for a liquid, a steam-generating apparatus having a fluid connection to the storage tank, for generating a liquid steam, and a connecting line, which has a fluid connection to the steam-generating apparatus, which steam-cleaning device floor nozzle comprises a nozzle body having at least one steam outlet opening and comprises a connection element, which is coupled, in particular in an articulated manner, to the nozzle body and defines a connection element channel and has a coupling segment, which coupling segment can be temporarily coupled or is permanently coupled to the particularly hose- or pipe-shaped connecting line, which has a fluid connection to the steam-generating apparatus. This problem is solved, according to the invention, in that the steam-cleaning device floor nozzle comprises a rotary joint that defines an axis of rotation, for rotating the coupling segment and the nozzle body in relation to each other about the axis of rotation, a pivot joint that defines a pivot axis extending transversely to the axis of rotation, for pivoting the coupling segment and the nozzle body in relation to each other about the pivot axis, and a braking apparatus that interacts with the pivot joint, for applying a braking force or a braking torque to the pivot joint, against the action of which braking force or braking torque the coupling segment and the nozzle body can be pivoted in relation to each other about the pivot axis. The invention further relates to an improved steam-cleaning device. |
