Steam cleaning apparatus
First Claim
1. Steam cleaning apparatus for plane surfaces, comprisinga containing structure having a substantially flat lower face suitable to cooperate with the plane surface to be cleaned and an upper face, the lower face of the containing structure including steam delivery holes, the delivery holes defining on the lower face of the containing structure at least two distinct delivery zones, respectively forward and central;
- a tank for containing liquid at room temperature, the tank being removably mounted on the containing structure so that the tank can be temporally removed from the containing structure so that refilling operations can be carried out;
a handle attached to the containing structure;
an instantaneous steam generator having a rapid heater for generating steam;
a pump for pumping liquid from the tank to the instantaneous steam generator;
a conduit provided between the instantaneous steam generator and each of said at least two distinct deliver zones; and
a valve for selecting at least one of the at least two delivery zones for delivering steam from the instantaneous steam generator.
