Patent ID: 7950105

Claim:
A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface, comprising: a housing holding a first reservoir; a housing-mounted roller mounted on the housing; a cleaning head releasably coupled to the housing; a plurality of head-mounted rollers mounted on the cleaning head; drive means operatively connected to a driven head-mounted roller, which is one of the head-mounted rollers, for rotation of the driven head-mounted roller, and an endless absorbent belt supported for rotation about the head-mounted rollers, wherein, when the belt is in an operating position, the belt is pinched between the housing-mounted roller and the driven head-mounted roller, thereby squeezing liquid and contaminants from the belt into the first reservoir, and the housing-mounted roller deflects the belt from a line that is tangent to both of the driven head-mounted roller and another of the head-mounted rollers, thereby tensioning the belt, and the cleaning head is movable relative to the housing between the operating position of the belt and a released position of the belt, in which the belt is released from between the housing-mounted roller and the driven head-mounted for removal of the belt from the cleaning head.
