  • the coupling of the actuating bodies 86, 120 of the two valve members 52, 54 via the rocker 148 has the result that the actuating body 86 of the first valve member 52 is displaced into its second switching position when the actuating body 120 of the second valve member 54 changes to its first switching position.
  • the actuating body 120 of the second valve member 54 is in its second Shifted switching position when the actuating body 86 of the first valve member 52 goes into its first switching position.
  • the user of the surface cleaning head 10 has the option of supplying pressurized cleaning liquid either to the cleaning nozzles 108 , 110 arranged on the spray arms 104 , 106 or to the first additional nozzle 138 or the second additional nozzle 146 .
  • the first swivel arm 64 comes to rest on the front end region 88 of the adjusting body 86 of the first valve member 52 and moves the adjusting body 86 into its first switch position, in which it releases the flow path from the valve inlet 82 to the first valve outlet 98 , so that the cleaning nozzles 108, 110 pressurized cleaning liquid can be supplied.
  • the cleaning nozzles 108, 110 can apply pressurized cleaning liquid to an area of a surface to be cleaned that is covered by the housing 12 during use of the liquid cleaning head 10 in order to loosen dirt adhering to the surface.
  • the flow path from the valve inlet 82 to the second valve outlet 100 is interrupted, so that neither the first additional nozzle 138 nor the second additional nozzle 146 is supplied with cleaning liquid.
  • the second swivel arm 68 comes to rest on the front end region 122 of the actuating body 120 of the second valve member 54 and moves the actuating body 120 into its first switch position, in which it opens the flow path from the valve inlet 116 of the second valve member 54 to first valve outlet 132 releases.
  • the actuating body 86 of the first valve member 52 is pushed by the pivotable rocker 148 into its second switch position, in which it opens the flow path from the valve inlet 82 to the second valve outlet 100, so that pressurized cleaning fluid can flow via the third connecting line 114 and the fourth connecting line 136 can be supplied to the first additional nozzle 138 .
  • the third pivoting arms 72a and 72b come to rest on the rear end regions 94 or 128 of the adjusting bodies 86 and 120, so that both adjusting bodies 86, 120 are transferred to their second switching position.
  • the second auxiliary nozzle 146 can be supplied with pressurized cleaning liquid, which flows from the supply pipe 74 via the first valve member 52, the third connecting line 114, the second valve member 54 and the fifth connecting line 144 to the second auxiliary nozzle 146.
  • the second additional nozzle 146 can apply a pressurized jet of cleaning liquid to an area of a surface to be cleaned that is covered by the housing 12 during use of the liquid cleaning head 10 in order, for example, to loosen dirt from the surface in a corner area of the surface to be cleaned. Since at the same time the flow path from the valve inlet 82 of the first valve member 52 to the first valve outlet 98 of the first valve member 52 is interrupted and also the flow path from the valve inlet 116 of the second valve member 54 to the first valve outlet 132 of the second valve member 54 is interrupted, neither the cleaning nozzles 108, 110 nor the first additional nozzle 138 cleaning liquid are supplied.
  • the first additional nozzle 138 has a nozzle opening 156 which is larger than the nozzle openings 158 and 160 of the cleaning nozzles 108, 110 and is also larger than the nozzle opening 162 of the second additional nozzle 146.
  • the flow speed of the first additional nozzle cleaning liquid discharged is smaller than the flow rate of the cleaning liquid discharged from the cleaning nozzles 108, 110 and from the second auxiliary nozzle 146.
  • the user has the option, for example, of first actuating the first foot pedal 62 and moving the surface cleaning head 10 along a surface to be cleaned, with cleaning fluid under pressure being emitted via the cleaning nozzles 108, 110 in order to adhere to the surface to be cleaned to loosen adhering dirt.
  • the user can actuate the third foot pedal 70 so that cleaning liquid under pressure is discharged via the second additional nozzle 146, for example for cleaning edge or corner areas of the surface to be cleaned.
  • the user can then actuate the second foot pedal 66 so that liquid is supplied to the first additional nozzle 138 and this directs a jet of cleaning liquid onto an area of the surface to be cleaned that is not covered by the housing 12, in order to thereby remove the loosened dirt from the surface to rinse off.
