Abstract
A squeegee assembly is provided for a scrubbing machine. The squeegee assembly is mounted in a manner such that it can separate from the machine to avoid damage in the event the assembly encounters a stationary object. The mounting arrangement includes a mounting plate which can be raised and lowered. The squeegee assembly is frictionally connected to the mounting plate so as to move therewith and be supported thereby but so that the squeegee assembly can separate rearwardly relative to the mounting plate to prevent damage. The squeegee assembly includes a squeegee blade supporting member with quick-release bands. The bands clamp a squeegee blade between the supporting member and the bands with the squeegee blade requiring no special attaching provisions at all, not even mounting holes. The bands have quick-release latches so that the blades can be easily and quickly removed and replaced, when necessary.
