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.

Squeegee apparatus for a scrubbing machine comprising a squeegee supporting member, means for connecting said squeegee supporting member to said machine, said squeegee supporting member having forward outer end portions and a rear intermediate portion, said supporting member having a downwardly-extending rear wall, a squeegee blade which is substantially continuous and uninterrupted from one end to another, two clamping bands extending along the rear wall of said supporting member and having inner ends near the rear intermediate portion of said supporting member and having outer ends near the forward outer end portions of said supporting member, means located at the rear intermediate portion of said supporting member and cooperating with inner end portions of said clamping bands for moving said bands toward said rear wall when said bands are moved toward said forward outer end portions of said supporting member, and means engagable with outer end portions of both of said clamping bands near said forward outer end portions of said supporting member for moving said outer end portions of said bands transversely toward said supporting member and toward said forward outer end portions of said supporting member, whereby said clamping bands hold said squeegee blade against said rear wall when said clamping bands are so moved by said engagable means.
