主权项

1. A portable, human-powered floor cleaning device comprising:
a chassis comprising a clean fluid storage tank and a spent fluid collection tank; a plurality of wheels for supporting and moving the device; a mechanically-driven pump housed within the chassis having an inlet and an outlet, the pump operably interconnected to a drive wheel; the drive wheel provided substantially proximal to a midpoint of the chassis and comprising an eccentric wheel hub interconnected to a drive shaft such that a rotational movement of the drive wheel results in a reciprocating movement of the drive shaft and actuation of the pump; and a deck assembly attached to the chassis comprising a fluid pick-up orifice and at least one squeegee, the fluid pick-up orifice being interconnected to the pump by a conduit for transmitting the spent fluid from the fluid pick-up orifice to the pump; wherein the deck assembly is movable from a first position in contact with a floor to a second position not in contact with the floor.
