Abstract
A floor cleaning headcomprises a body portionand a pivotally attached nozzle. The nozzlecomprises resiliently flexible front and rear extending elongate bladesdepending from the underside thereof and a transversely extending suction mouthdisposed between the blades, and intersected by a steam inlet ductto form frontal and rear portionsF,R. The orientation of the nozzleis altered by a mechanism, such that the leading bladeraises to allow dust and debris to pass beneath, while the trailing bladelowers to form a working edge against the floor surface, against which, dust, dirty water and debris gathers for removal by the induced airflow of an attached floor cleaner (not shown). The headis thus configured to perform separate vacuuming and steam cleaning operations simultaneously, in a single pass.
