  • the upper end portion 43 of the shutter member 31 more particularly comprises a first indexing surface 44, a second indexing surface 45 which is offset axially with respect to the first indexing surface 44 and which is further from the liquid outlet 28 than the first indexing surface 44, and a cam surface 46 which is inclined and which is disposed between the first and second indexing surfaces 44, 45.
  • the first and second indexing surfaces 44, 45 are flat and extend parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of translation D4 of the closure member 31.
  • the actuating part 42 of the actuating member 41 is configured to bear against the first indexing surface 44 and to maintain the closure member 31 in the release position when the actuating member 41 occupies the first actuating position, and to bear against the second indexing surface 45 and to maintain the shutter member 31 in the shutter position when the actuating member 41 occupies the second position of actuation. Further, the actuation portion 42 of the actuation member 41 is configured to slide on the cam surface 46 and move the shutter member 31 from the release position to the shutter position when the actuating member 41 is moved from the first actuating position to the second actuating position.
  • the upper end portion 43 of the closure member 31 further comprises an axial protrusion 47 disposed between the cam surface 46 and the second indexing surface 45 and projecting with respect to the second indexing surface 45.
  • the axial protrusion 47 is configured to block the actuation member 41 in the second actuation position.
  • the upper annular seal 37 has an amplitude of elastic deformation in the direction of translation D4 equal to or greater than the height of the axial protuberance 47 measured from the second indexing surface 45.
  • the wet cleaning device 11 further comprises a biasing member (not visible in the figures), such as a compression spring, configured to bias the closure member 31 towards the release position.
  • a biasing member such as a compression spring
  • the wet cleaning device 11 could also comprise a biasing element (not visible in the figures) configured to bias the actuation member 41 towards the first actuation position which corresponds to the release position of the liquid outlet 28.
  • the biasing force exerted by the biasing element on the actuation member 41 would however be adapted so that the axial protuberance 47 can block the actuating member 41 in the second actuating position.
  • the cleaning liquid reservoir 24 comprises two lateral reservoir portions 24.1, 24.2 and a connecting portion 24.3 which is arranged between the two lateral reservoir portions 24.1, 24.2 and which fluidically connects the two side reservoir portions 24.1, 24.2.
  • the front binding elements 15 and the rear binding elements 18 are arranged on either side of the connecting portion 24.3 and respectively close to a front edge of the connecting portion 24.3 and close to a rear edge of the connecting portion 24.3.
  • the two lateral tank portions 24.1, 24.2 and the connecting portion 24.3 advantageously delimit a reception space 48 configured to accommodate a central part of the main body 4 when the wet cleaning device 11 is attached to the main body 4.
  • the cleaning head 2 could be devoid of suction means and therefore be configured to equip a wet cleaning device.
