  • Cleaning accessories held on the holding element 88 can thereby be held in a user-friendly manner on the scrubbing machine 10. This saves a user from having to carry the cleaning accessories with them separately, in particular to carry them. Since the rail 64 is offset relative to the side wall 38 in the direction of the longitudinal center plane of the scrubbing machine 10, the cleaning accessories may protrude only relatively little or not at all over the outer contour of the scrubbing machine 10.
  • the holding part 60 In the state connected to the rail 64, the holding part 60 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction thereof, for which purpose the user has to apply an effective displacement force in the longitudinal direction of the rail 64 to the holding part 60.
  • the form fit between the adapter element 86 and the rail 64 is maintained, but the frictional engagement can be overcome by the displacement force of the user in order to move the holding part 60. Since the dimension of the holding part 60 in the longitudinal direction of the rail 64 corresponds to approximately one tenth of its dimension, the user can use the holding part 60 shift over a relatively large length range depending on requirements.
  • the contact members 98 and 70 act together as guide members.
  • further holding parts are connected to the rail 64 in order to fasten a plurality of cleaning accessories to the rail 64 and thus to the housing 34.
  • the holding parts By moving the holding parts relative to the rail 64, the holding parts can be aligned relative to one another and thus relative to the rail 64 in order to arrange cleaning accessories held on the respective holding parts as required.
  • the adapter element 86 comprises a release element 106.
  • the release element 106 is formed on the side facing away from the hook 102 on the carrier element 90 and is designed as a tongue projecting downward therefrom.
  • the free end of the hook 102 comes out of engagement with the lower contact member 74 with simultaneous elastic deformation of the gripping arm 100. This makes it possible to free the free end of the hook 102 around the lower end of the to pivot lateral contact member 70 and thereby to release the rail 64 from the receptacle 104.
  • the gripping arm 100 can then be detached from the rib 66 and the holding part 60 can be detached from the rail 64.
  • the receptacle 96 for the holding element 88 on the adapter element 86 is arranged on the side of the carrier element 90 opposite the contact element 98 and is pocket-shaped with an insertion opening 108 on the top.
  • the holding element 88 has a disk-shaped fastening member 110 for cooperation with the receptacle 96, which passes through the insertion opening 108 inserted into the receptacle 96 and can be locked in a form-fitting manner.
  • the holding element 88 If the holding element 88 is to be detached from the carrier element 90, it can be subjected to an upward force, so that the fastening member 110 disengages from the receptacle 96 and the latching is released. This allows the holding element 88 to be removed from the receptacle 96 through the insertion opening 108.
  • the holding element 88 serves, as mentioned, for holding cleaning accessories on the holding part 60 and thus on the housing 34.
  • the holding element 88 comprises two hook-shaped holding members 112, on which cleaning accessories can be suspended.
  • the holding members 112 can pass through eyelets arranged on the cleaning accessories.
  • the holding part 60 comprises two further holding elements 114 and 116, which are shown in FIGS Figures 7 and 8 are shown in the respectively connected state with the adapter element 86.
  • Both holding elements 114 and 116 each comprise a fastening element for connection to the adapter element 86, which fastening element is identical to the fastening element 110. This allows each of the holding elements 114 and 116 to be releasably connected to the adapter element 86 instead of the holding element 88 by the respective holding element 88, 114 or 116 being locked in place in the receptacle 96 with the respective fastening element.
  • the above-mentioned holding part 58 comprises an adapter element identical to the adapter element 86 and a holding element identical to the holding element 116 and is connected to the receiving part 54.
  • the holding part 58 can also comprise further holding elements.
  • the holding element 114 comprises a fork-shaped or horseshoe-shaped holding member 118 with two legs 119 and 120 spaced apart from one another, between which a recess 121 is arranged.
  • the holding member 118 is on the top side planar, and the legs 119 and 120 each taper towards their free ends and are curved upwards.
  • the holding element 114 is used in particular for fastening detergent bottles to the housing 34 via the holding part 60, it being possible for a bottle neck of the detergent bottle to be inserted into the recess 121 and a head of the detergent bottle to rest against the legs 119 and 120 on the top side.
  • the holding element 116 has a sleeve-shaped holding member 123 which extends approximately in the vertical direction.
  • the holding member 123 is laterally perforated at an opening 124 and comprises two halves 125 and 126.
  • the halves 125 and 126 are movable relative to one another, since the holding member 123 is designed to be elastically deformable overall.
  • An elongated object for example a handle of a broom or a mop, can be inserted through the opening 124 into a space 127 between the halves 125 and 126 and clamped therein.
  • the holding element 116 thus serves to hold elongated objects such as brooms or mops on the holding part 60 and thus on the housing 34.
  • a plurality of holding elements 88, 114 and 116 which can be connected to the adapter element 86 as required, makes the accessory holder 52 very versatile. Depending on preference and application, the user can connect the most suitable holding element 88, 114 or 116 to the adapter element 86 in order to attach the cleaning accessories to the housing 34. Furthermore, since, as already mentioned, a plurality of holding parts 60 can be detachably connected to the rail 64, the scrubbing machine 10 is characterized by a particularly high degree of versatility.
