の課題を解決するために案出されたものである。In the former configuration, the rotation axis of the side brush is fixed at a predetermined angle and cannot be adjusted, so that the brush is partially worn due to uneven wear of the brush. There is a problem that the grounding portion is reduced and cleaning cannot be performed. On the other hand, in the latter configuration, adjustment in the front-rear and left-right directions is possible, but the adjustment mechanism is complicated, and both adjustments are required. If not properly determined, a desired ground contact position cannot be obtained, and there is a problem that adjustment requires considerable skill and experience. The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems.
