Abstract
A floor cleaning solution filtering system includes a mop bucket defining a cleaning solution basin. A pump is exteriorly mounted on the bucket and is in fluid communication with the cleaning solution basin. A filter system is exteriorly mounted on the bucket, in fluid communication with the cleaning solution basin, and operationally connected to the pump. The pump draws fluid from the cleaning solution basin through the filter system for return to the basin after the cleaning solution has been filtered. The bucket may include a single basin or a dual basin.
Description
- The invention relates generally to mop buckets. More particularly, the invention relates to a mop bucket filtering system.
- A mop bucket is used in conjunction with a mop for cleaning floors and the like. At the start of the cleaning process, fluid used for mopping is held within the bucket and is generally clean. However, as the floor is mopped, and the mop repeatedly dipped into the bucket, the fluid therein becomes less and less clean as dirt and other matter is transferred from the floor to the wet mop is then to the fluid in the bucket. Occasionally, a user may place the mop into a wringer located above the bucket in order to remove fluid from the mop, but again, this merely transfers dirty fluid to the fluid within the bucket.
- There is a great need for a mop bucket that provides relatively clean fluid for mopping throughout the cleaning process. Many different types of filtering systems have been employed to recycle fluid in mop buckets. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,630,369 teaches a mop cleaning device wherein a supply of cleaning fluid is circulated through a container. However, relatively heavy particles are separated from the fluid by what appears to be a gravity trap while leaving smaller particles still suspended within the fluid. In another example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,161,799 discloses a mop bucket that treats dirty fluid. However, this system leaves undesirable matter within the bucket itself.
- While buckets such as those described above may provide means of removing dirt particles from fluid within the bucket, such buckets can always be improved.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a bucket that cleans fluid within the bucket. There is also a need for a bucket that prevents the fluid within the bucket from becoming too dirty to use. There is a further need for a bucket that removes both large and small particles from the fluid. There is an additional need for a bucket that is relatively inexpensive and easy to manufacture. The present invention satisfies these needs and provides other related advantages.
- A mop bucket filtering system is needed for cleaning the fluid within the mop bucket. The filtering system of the mop bucket prevents the fluid within the bucket from becoming too dirty to use and removes both large and small particles from the fluid.
- A floor cleaning solution filtering system includes a mop bucket defining a fluid basin. The fluid in the basin can comprise water, a cleaning solution, or a mixture of both. A pump is exteriorly mounted on the bucket and is in fluid communication with the fluid basin. A filter system is also exteriorly mounted on the bucket. The filter system is in fluid communication with the basin and operationally connected to the pump. The pump draws fluid from the basin through the filter system for return to the basin after the fluid has been filtered.
- The filtering system also includes a first hose disposed between the basin and the filter system, and a second hose disposed between the pump and the basin. The first hose extends through an aperture in the bucket. A third hose is disposed between the pump and the filtering system. The filter system includes first and second filters in fluid communication with one another. A fourth hose is disposed between the first and second filters.
- In addition to a single basin, the bucket may include distinct first and second fluid basins. The pump draws cleaning solution from the first fluid basin through the filter system and into the second fluid basin. The filter system of the dual basin bucket includes first and second filters.
- In either the single or dual basin systems, a wringer may be operationally connected to the bucket.
- Other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
- The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. In such drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is an orthogonal view of a mop bucket filtering system embodying the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a partially cut-away orthogonal view of the mop bucket filtering system ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 is a orthogonal view of another embodiment of a mop bucket filtering system embodying the present invention. - The present invention is needed for cleaning the fluid within the mop bucket. The present invention prevents the fluid within the bucket from becoming too dirty to use and removes both large and small particles from the fluid.
- As shown in the drawings for purposes of illustration, the present invention resides in a mop
bucket filtering system 10 for amop bucket 12. Themop bucket 12 includes abasin 14 that, when in use, is filled with afluid 16 used for mopping. Thefluid 16 includes, without limitation, water, a cleaning solution (i.e., ammonia, bleach, detergent or the like), or a mixture of both. - A
pump 18 is mounted to the outside of themop bucket 12 for recirculating thefluid 16. Thepump 14 draws thefluid 16 from thebasin 14 through afilter system 20 for return to thebasin 14 after thefluid 16 has been filtered. - The
filter system 20 is also mounted to the outside of the mop bucket. Thefilter system 20 is in fluid communication with thebasin 14 and operationally connected to thepump 18. Thefilter system 20 includes an interconnected series of filters in fluid communication that remove different sized particles from thefluid 16 as thefluid 16 moves through thefilter system 20. For example, afirst filter 22 may be used removing relatively large particles from thefluid 16 as thefluid 16 passes through thefirst filter 22. After the larger particles are filtered out, thefluid 16 passes and asecond filter 24 that removes smaller, finer particles from thefluid 16. Additional filters may be added to thefilter system 20 to remove other contaminants, such as oil, from thefluid 16 or otherwise improve the quality of thefluid 16 prior to returning thefluid 16 to thebasin 14. - A series of generally flexible hoses interconnect the
basin 14,filter system 20 andpump 18 such thatfluid 16 is able to be drawn from thebasin 14, filtered, and then returned to thebasin 14. Afirst hose 26 is disposed between thebasin 14 and thefilter system 20, allowingfluid 16 to pass from thebasin 14 to thefilter system 20. Asecond hose 28 is disposed between thepump 18 and thebasin 14, allowingfluid 16 to pass from thepump 18 to thebasin 14. One end of thefirst hose 26 may extend through anaperture 30 in thebucket 12 that leads to thebasin 14; theaperture 30 being located towards the bottom of thebasin 14. In the alternative, one end of thefirst hose 26 may be extended over the top of thebucket 12 and down towards the bottom of thebasin 14 such that thefluid 16 therein is able to enter the first hose 26 (likewise, one end of thesecond hose 28 may be extended over the top of thebucket 12 and down towards the bottom of thebasin 14 such that thefluid 16 therein is able to be returned to the basin 14). - A
third hose 32 is disposed between thepump 18 and thefiltering system 20 so as to allowfluid 16 to be drawn through thefiltering system 20 by thepump 18. Afourth hose 34 is disposed between the first andsecond filters fluid 16 to flow between thefilters - In an alternative embodiment, shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thebucket 12 may include distinct first and secondfluid basins first basin 36 holds the “dirty”fluid 16 and the filteredfluid 16 goes into thesecond basin 38. This embodiment is otherwise similar to the above describedsingle basin 14 embodiment except that thehose 26 is illustrated with one end over the top ofbasin 36 and extending towards the bottom of thebasin 36 under the surface of the “dirty”fluid 16. Alternatively, theaperture 30 ofFIG. 3 could also be used inbasin 36 with the end of thehose 26 extending through theaperture 30 to the “dirty” fluid 16 inbasin 36. In this embodiment, thepump 18 draws the fluid 16 from thefirst fluid basin 36 through thefilter system 20, through thepump 18, and into thesecond fluid basin 38. - The
pump 18 could be powered by either an AC or DC electrical source. For example, anelectrical plug 40 could be used to electrically connect thepump 18 to a wall socket (not shown) or thepump 18 could be powered by a battery (not shown). - In either the single or dual basin embodiments, a
mop wringer 42 may be operationally connected to thebucket 12. - Also, in either the single or dual basin embodiments, the
bucket 12 may be located on aframe 44. Thebasins frame 44 which includeswheels 46, such as castors. In the alternative,wheels 46 may be connected directly to thebasins handle 48 for pushing or pulling themop bucket 12 to various locations. - The
bucket 12 andframe 44 may be made of various materials, including, without limitation, plastic and metal. - The above-described embodiments of the present invention are illustrative only and not limiting. It will thus be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the appended claims encompass all such changes and modifications as falling within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
