  • Patent number: 11297993
    Abstract: A wet-cleaning apparatus for the wet cleaning of a floor surface includes a hand-guidance part, which is connected for pivoting articulation, about at least two joint axes, to a floor part, which in an operating state rests on the floor surface, and is in torque-transmitting operative connection with the floor part. At least one floor-treatment tool is arranged on the floor part and has two disc tools, which in the operating state rest on the floor surface, can be rotated in opposite directions by at least one drive and are arranged and/or configured such that, in the operating state, there is permanent linear propulsion along a cleaning direction onto the floor part. A suction-bar arrangement is arranged behind the floor-treatment tool, as seen in relation to the cleaning direction, and is intended for the suction removal of liquid from the floor surface.

  • Patent number: 9826874
    Abstract: A hand-guided floor treatment device includes a bottom part, which includes at least one tool which is rotatable on a floor by a drive, as well as a guide part which includes at least one handle and is connected to the bottom part by an articulated arrangement which is developed in such a manner that the guide part, proceeding from a perpendicular, is pivotable in relation to the perpendicular in angular positions rotating in all directions and is operatively connected to the bottom part so as to transmit torque in an angularly limited manner in each angular position in relation to the perpendicular. The at least one rotatable tool is arranged in such a manner on the bottom part that when the floor treatment device is operating the at least one rotatable tool exerts permanent linear propulsion on the bottom part.
