is formed, and this floor side mounting surface 17 is fixed with screws 18.

19 is attached to the floor-side mounting surface 1 of the base 14 by a Velcro tape (not shown) provided on a part of the floor-side mounting surface 17.
A water-permeable surface treatment unit 6 is attached to the unit 7, and this surface treatment unit performs waxing, floor polishing, etc. A claw 20 formed at the lower end of the elastic leg 13 engages an engagement hole 21 formed in the main body case side connecting surface 15 of the base 14.
．． Engaged with the support plate 22, the elastic legs 13 are attached to the base 14.

Further, as described above, the elastic legs 13 are attached to the main body case 1 via the support case 9, and therefore the main body case 1 and the base 14 are flexibly connected. A rotating shaft 23 is located in the center of the floor-side mounting surface 17.
