Abstract (en)

[origin: US2014033470A1] A floor tool for a vacuum cleaning appliance comprising a support member adapted to support a cleaning element and at least one suction nozzle in communication with a conduit, wherein the support member comprises a removable pad which is detachable from the support member. The support member includes a rolling arrangement that is engageable with a floor surface when the removable pad is disengaged from the support plate, thereby allowing the floor tool to be used in a 'suction-only' mode of operation or a "suction-and-wipe" mode of operation.
