Abstract:
1. A steam cleaner machine comprising: a. a main steam cleaner unit supplying pressured water for cleaning or treating a surface area and receiving the used water back to store in a collection tank, b. a handle assembly further comprising a sprayer tube having a first open end and a second open end, wherein the sprayer tube receives the pressured water from the main steam cleaner unit at the first open end and channels the water to the second open end where a sprayer nozzle is placed to spray the pressured water to the area or surface to be treated, and a collector tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the collector tube receives the used water at the second end and channels the used water to the first end toward the main steam cleaner unit, c. a collector head assembly, mounted or located at the second end of the collector tube of the handle assembly, further comprising a collector head body having a lower open end as a vacuum aperture and a top open end as a collector top aperture, wherein the used water is collected through, first, the vacuum aperture and the collector head body acts a duct channeling the used water up to the collector top aperture where the collector tube is mounted to further channel the used water toward the main unit, d. a seal flap, movably mounted on a vertical surface of the collector head assembly, which faces the sprayer tube, to freely move vertically in a generally linear manner, further comprising a flap body with a flap bottom edge at the lower end of the flap body to make contact with the floor surface while the main unit is being used, a left guard and a right guard to guide the sprayed water from the nozzle on to the area or the surface to be treated, wherein the seal flap provides a secondary seal to preserve the vacuum pressure when the vacuum aperture or a vacuum aperture edge surrounding the vacuum aperture of the collector head assembly is not flat against the floor surface.
