Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9838901A1] The invention relates to a floor-cleaning device for wet- and vacuum cleaning, comprising an underbody (22) and a suction chamber (23) which can be configured between said underbody (22) and the floor to be cleaned and the breadth of which extends crosswise to the usual working direction (R) of said floor-cleaning device. An air suction tube (14) for feeding a suction air flow is connected to a suction mouth (35) in said suction chamber (23) and liquid outlets (34) are provided. According to the invention, in order to provide a better equipped easily assembled floor-cleaning device of this type ensuring that water can be applied efficiently and simply and that the dirt/water mixture can be sucked up efficiently and simply, said liquid outlets (34) should be integrated into the suction chamber (23) relative to the suction mouth (35) in such a way that liquid can be sucked in from the liquid outlets (34) by means of the suction air flow, and sucked up via the air suction tube (14), whereby the entire width of the suction chamber is used to a substantial degree.
