Abstract: A motorless floor washing machine comprising a frame carrying a suction pump, wheels carried by the frame for moving of the machine and actuation of the pump to suck up a liquid, a handle for moving the frame and elements carried thereby, thereby to move the wheels and actuate the pump, a recovery tank fed by the pump, and a dispenser carried by the frame for discharging a cleaning liquid in front of the pump, whereby upon manual movement of the machine and discharge of a cleaning liquid carried thereby onto a floor, the cleaning liquid cleans the floor and is thereafter sucked up by the pump.

Abstract: A floor scrubber is provided with a propane powered internal combustion engine which is mounted on a wheeled dolly and which is attached by its rotary output shaft to a circular cage provided with a plurality of rotary brushes on the underside thereof. More specifically the output shaft from the internal combustion engine is connected through a pulley arrangement to the various rotary brushes and accordingly the cage and the brushes are driven in counter-rotation. Included in the structure of the dolly is a spring loaded, telescoping support for deploying a serrated clean-out bar which by angular alignment can be placed under the path of advance of the pads in the cage, thus providing a cleaning function therefor. The internal combustion engine, furthermore, is contained in a noise reducing housing which furthermore is provided with a fan for cooling.
