Abstract:
1. Mobile floor-cleaning appliance, comprising: a cleaning tool, a housing in which the cleaning tool is mounted, a handle holder which is mounted on the housing and is adapted to be connected to a handle in order to guide the floor-cleaning appliance along a floor surface which is to be cleaned, the handle holder being adapted to be pivoted about two pivot axes oriented obliquely or perpendicularly in relation to one another and adapted to be arrested in a rest position, and at least one arresting element associated with each of the two pivot axes, for arresting the handle holder in the rest position, a retaining part disposed between the arresting elements, each of the at least one arresting elements, in the rest position of the handle holder, engaging with the retaining part to arrest the handle holder, and each of the at least one arresting elements releasing the retaining part, and thereby eliminating the arresting action on the handle holder in relation to the two pivot axes, by virtue of the handle holder being pivoted as desired out of the rest position about only one of the two pivot axes.
