Bare floor cleaner

摘要

A bare floor cleaner has a foot with a dry suction nozzle and a handle assembly pivotally connected to the foot assembly. A diverter mounted in the working air conduit between the foot assembly and the handle assembly is movable by movement of the handle assembly between a dry suction position and a wet mop position for selectively at least partially blocking working air flow from the dry suction nozzle to a collection assembly. A fluid delivery system includes a user operated trigger for actuating the fluid delivery system to distribute fluid in the wet mop position and deactivating a motor/fan assembly. A trigger lock prevents cleaning solution from being distributed when the handle is in dry mode position. The fluid delivery system includes a heating element to raise the temperature of the cleaning solution before it is distributed to the surface to be cleaned. Support glides on the foot reduce the surface area contact between the foot pad and the surface to be cleaned.

1. A wet/dry bare floor cleaner, comprising:
a base; a handle pivotally connected to the base for movement between a dry mode position and a wet mode position; a recovery system for collecting dirt when the handle is in the dry mode position; a fluid delivery system comprising a source of cleaning fluid and a fluid distributor in fluid communication with the source of cleaning fluid for dispensing cleaning fluid onto a surface to be cleaned; and an interlock coupled to the fluid delivery system that prevents cleaning fluid from being dispensed to a surface to be cleaned when the handle is in the dry mode position; wherein the handle is at an acute angle with respect to the vertical in a first direction in the dry mode position and the handle is at an acute angle with respect to the vertical in a second direction in the wet mode position.
