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 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>
