Support assembly for a surface treating appliance

摘要

A surface-treating appliance includes a main body, a surface-treating head and a support assembly. The support assembly is moveable out of a supporting position in which it supports the main body by a user performing a plurality of steps—for example, by depressing a pedal, then tilting the main body by pulling the handle. This arrangement reduces the likelihood of accidental release of the support assembly from its supporting position. For example, if the user depresses the pedal alone, or only pulls on the handle, the support assembly remains in its supporting position.

主权项

1. A surface-treating appliance comprising a main body which is moveable from an upright position to a reclined position, a surface-treating head, and a support assembly, the support assembly comprising a stand configured to support the main body in the upright position and a resisting device configured to resist movement of the stand out of a supporting position in which the stand supports the main body in the upright position, the stand being configured to move out of the supporting position in response to both of an actuation of a mechanism on the support assembly while the main body is in the upright position and a subsequent tilting of the main body from the upright position to the reclined position following actuation of said mechanism, and to remain in its supporting position via the resisting device prior to the subsequent tilting of the main body from the upright position to the reclined position following actuation of said mechanism while the main body is in the upright position.
