Abstract
The invention relates to a floor-cleaning appliance having a housing, on the underside of which is disposed at least one floor-cleaning tool adapted to be driven in rotation or oscillation, wherein the floor-cleaning appliance, for the purpose of cleaning a floor surface, can be guided manually by the user in an operating direction along the floor surface. In order to develop the floor-cleaning appliance such that it can be transported in a simple manner, it is proposed according to the invention that the floor-cleaning appliance has transporting wheels which are adapted to be rotatably fixed by the user, for the purpose of transporting the floor-cleaning appliance, on wheel bearings disposed on the side of the housing.
Claims22
Floor-cleaning appliance, comprising:
- a housing,
- at least one floor-cleaning tool disposed on an underside of the housing, the at least one floor cleaning tool adapted to be driven in rotation or oscillation, the floor-cleaning appliance, for a purpose of cleaning a floor surface, is adapted to be guided manually by a user in an operating direction along the floor surface,
- wheel bearings disposed laterally on the housing, and
- transporting wheels which are adapted to be removably fixed by the user, for a purpose of transporting the floor-cleaning appliance, on the wheel bearings,
- at least one storage device for holding the transporting wheels when removed from the wheel bearings, each of the at least one storage devices being configured as a wheel holder on which the transporting wheels can be retained in a non-displaceable manner, and
- wherein the transporting wheels each carry an axle stub, and the wheel holders each have a mount into which one of the axle stubs can be plugged.
