Abstract:
A steam appliance with a universal connector for connecting a steam frame to a fluid source in the appliance housing is provided. The universal connector includes an upper connection piece with a proximal end for connection to the housing and a distal end with a pair of pivot arms. A lower connection piece having a pair of pivot plates for connecting to the pivot arms provides for a pivotal connection with the of upper connection piece for side to side pivot. A fluid conduit passes through the upper and lower connection pieces for connecting the fluid source to the frame for distribution of steam within the frame. The frame includes a central steam passageway for distribution of steam between baffles within the frame. The lower connection piece may be a distributor with a pair of opposed elongated hollow arms for coupling to the frame with a fluid conduit passing through an upper nipple portion for distribution of steam into the frame through the hollow distributor arms. The end of the distributor arms maybe adapted to slip into a key slot in the mop frame and provide an axis to pivot the joint in an up and down direction. Fabric mop towel envelopes with an cut-out to permit rotation of the mop frame about the distributor are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A fabric steam pad for use with a steam mop of at least one layer of fabric with an border overlapping a portion of the inner surface of the steam pad to form an interior cavity pocket with a drawstring or an elastic band around the perimeter of the fabric border layer to engage a steam frame. The pad is adapted to fit around the bottom of the steam pad frame to distribute cleaning steam to the surface to be cleaned. In another embodiment, a fabric steam pad for use with a steam mop having a steam pad frame with an outer steam surface and an upper surface. The steam pad comprising at least one layer of fabric having an outer cleaning surface, an opposed inner surface, a fabric border about the perimeter so that the border overlaps the inner surface to form a cavity, and a pair of straps that extend across the inner cavity of steam pad.
Abstract:
A steam floor brush includes a handle, a main frame and a floor brush that is connected movably with the main frame. In the main frame 1 are arranged a hand-operated water pump, a water tank and a vapour generator. The hand-operated water pump, the water tank, the vapour generator and the floor brush are communicated with each other via pipelines. The handle is directly connected with the piston rod of the hand-operated water pump and controls the hand-operated water pump. The floor brush is enveloped in the cleaning cloth.
Abstract:
A floor- cleaning apparatus (10) includes a cleaning head (12) having a cleaning device (14), a control handle (16) connected to the cleaning head for controlling the cleaning head and a micro power source (18) in communication with the cleaning device. The micro power source is lightweight, compact, and rechargeable or replaceable for generating energy to power the cleaning device. The micro power source can include any type of micro-fuel cell, micro-gas turbine, microheater or their combination.
Abstract:
It is a new steam broom for floor cleaning with a boiler (C) for steam production connected to two ducts for. steam delivery, the delivery duct (CF ) for front jets and the delivery duct (Cl) for lower jets and a detergent delivery duct (CD), the opening or closing of the valve (VU) for steam output from the boiler is controlled by the operation device (DA), connected to the arm (Ml) of the handle (M), so that the rotation of said arm (Ml) around the hinge (M') causes the displacement of said operating device (DA), thus causing the opening of said output valve (Vu). Said boiler ( C ) comprises two pressure gauges (Pl) and (P2), a device for jet deflection ( D) shuts one or more delivery ducts (CF), ( Cl) and (CD) by compressing them.

Abstract:
A cleaning device (1) , provided with a floor plate (2) for fastening a cleaning cloth (10) and a section (13) extending along at least one edge of the floor plate, which section is provided with at least one outlet aperture (15) , wherein a feed hose (21) for steam is provided which connects to the at least one section, which feed hose is connectible to a steam generator (25) .
Abstract:
(With reference to figure 2) A steam cleaning device for cleaning surfaces comprising: a water reservoir, and a detergent reservoir; a steam generator; a pump for supplying water from the water reservoir to the steam generator; a Venturi valve having a steam inlet connected to the steam generator, a detergent inlet connected to the detergent reservoir by a detergent passage, and an outlet for steam and detergent to exit the Venturi valve; a blocking device for blocking the detergent passage, which device is moveable between blocking and unblocking conditions; and a control assembly which controls operation of the pump and the blocking device, such that when the control assembly is used to deactivate the pump the control assembly initiates movement of and/or moves the blocking device to the blocking condition.
