Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sauggerätevorsatz (1) zur Feuchtreinigung von Flächen (2), insbesondere von senkrechten Flächen, mit einer Flüssigkeitsauftragsvorrichtung (3). Um einen Sauggerätevorsatz (1) zur Feuchtreinigung von Flächen handhabungssicher und betriebssicher, insbesondere für eine Verwendung mit üblichen Haushaltsstaubsaugern zu gestalten, stellt die Erfindung auf einen Sauggerätevorsatz (1) ab, bei dem die Flüssigkeitsauftragsvorrichtung (3) gegen ein gesondert ausgebildetes Saugkanalgehäuse (15) lageverstellbar ist, in welchem ein in einer schlitzförmigen Saugmündung (21) auslaufender Saugkanal (20) angeordnet ist, wobei das Saugkanalgehäuse (15) die Flüssigkeitsauftragsvorrichtung (3) bogenförmig überdeckend angeordnet ist und im Bogeninnern die Flüssigkeitsauftragsvorrichtung (3) an wenigstens einem Schieber (25) gefangen ist, welcher das Saugkanalgehäuse (15) durchsetzt und oberseitig des Saugkanalgehäuses als Handhabe (26) zum Verstellen der Lage ausgebildet ist.
