Abstract
Device for cleaning a surface, particularly a floor, comprising: a cleaning head comprising at least a first surface and a second surface having an angular offset relative to each other about a transverse direction, a hinge comprising a first hinge portion and a second hinge portion which are movable relative to one another in rotation about a hinge axis parallel to the transverse direction, and a switching system, interposed between the cleaning head and the hinge and adapted to move the hinge between a first position near the first surface and a second position near the second surface.
Claims20
Device for cleaning a surface comprising:
- a cleaning head comprising at least a first surface and a second surface which are both flat and are adapted to alternate in facing the surface to be cleaned, said first surface and said second surface having an angular offset relative to one another about a transverse direction, and
- a hinge comprising a first hinge portion and a second hinge portion which are movable relative to one another in rotation about a hinge axis parallel to the transverse direction, said second hinge portion being intended for connection to a gripping element,
- wherein the device further comprises a switching system, interposed between the cleaning head and the hinge, and adapted to move said hinge between a first position near the first surface and a second position near the second surface;
- and
- first and second supports, or first and second retention portions, projecting upwardly from the cleaning head;
- the first hinge portion abuts against the first support or the first retention portion when the hinge is in the first position, and the first hinge portion abuts against the second support or the second retention portion when the hinge is in the second position.
