Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0529805A2] A suction cleaner comprises a dust bag 20 and an air filter 19 supported by a carrier 22 which is removable from a wet pick-up bucket 21 of the cleaner so that the function of the cleaner can be converted from dry pick-up to wet pick-up or washing. The carrier 22 comprises a foot 92 enabling it to be set down on the floor during the wet pick-up and washing function of the cleaner, without the dust bag 20 or filter 19 coming into contact with the floor and without risk of dust spilling from the bag 20. The cleaner further comprises a cleaning fluid dispensing system mounted in the hand-grip of the suction hose for dispensing shampoo cleaning fluid during the washing function of the cleaner. The dispensing system comprising a container divided into two compartments 36, 34 by a rollingwall type of diaphragm 64, the first compartment 36 forming a reservoir for the cleaning fluid and having an outlet 60, and the second compartment 34 having an inlet 58 for water under pressure. <IMAGE>
