Abstract

The scraping device is constituted by a flat spattle 6 with a front edge 7, eventually provided with a fold 8. The piece 6 is united with an annular body 5 adaptable to the connector of the head 2 supporting a mop 1. The semirigidity of the spattle 6 and the fold 8 provided by the material permits that they do their work without excessive deformation when the head of the cleaning tool is applied to a surface to be scraped.

Description

  • The present invention refers to a scraping device adapted to be applied to a floor cleaning tool, the utilisation of which con­siderably improves the range of application of the aformentioned cleaning tool.
  • Floor cleaning tools as known until now and provided with threads forming mops for cleaning floors have the inconveniency that when encountering certain kinds of dirt on the floor, like smudge, debris, dry food residues and the like, the removal of such material by rubbing it with the the mop is practically im­possible. A device is needed which permits scraping such dirt formations from the floor to terminate the operation by washing the respective location.
  • The scraping device applicable to a floor cleaning tool and being subject matter of the present invention eliminates the afore­mentioned inconveniency by providing means for scraping the very dirty surfaces and eventually incrusted by various materials to prepare the respective surfaces by means of the tool for their later cleaning in order to obtain a total cleanness. The applic­ation of the device at a floor cleaning tool is attained very easy without affecting the specific function of the cleaning tool.
  • In order to facilitate the explanation, the present description is accompanied by some drawings in which as an illustrative and not limiting example an embodiment of a scraping device is shown which is applicable to a mop, in accordance with the principles of the claim .
  • In the drawings:
    • Fig. 1 shows a floor cleaning tool provided with a scraping device of the described type.
    • Fig. 2 shows in increased scale the proper cleaning tool incorporating the scaping device disposed for its use.
  • The elements designated by numerals in the drawings in the following correspond to the indicated parts.
  • The floor cleaning tool, conventionally constituted by a mop 1 formed by a plurality of parallel threads supported by a head 2 to which at an upper connector 3 thereof, an actuation rod 4 is affixed, comprises in the zone where the connector adjoins the head an element 5 in form of a ring associated to the body of said device constituted by a flat piece 6 preferably of triangular spattle-like shape defining a rectilinear side 7 in the most salient zone and a fold 8 in prolongation thereof.
  • The ring 5 and the spattle 6 are integrally formed from a rigid or semirigid plastic material.
  • The ring 5 adapts easily to any type of connector 3 of the different floor cleaning tool models available in the market. When made from an at least semirigid material, it adapts to prismatic or circular shapes presented by the connectors of usual floor cleaning tools.
  • For its part, the semirigidity provided to the spattle 6 and to the fold 8 by the material results in that they do their work perfectly without excessive deformation when said head of the cleaning tool is applied at a surface to be scaped.
  • The form of the spattle 6 should preferably be isosceles tri­angular or the like, and particularly its elongation, i.e. the height of the isosceles triangle formed in this case is larger than the diameter of the head 2 in order that the device protrudes therefrom and the fold 8 remains external so that it can efficiently operate to scrape without any interference by the threads of the mop 1.

Claims (1)

  1. Scraping device adapted to be applied to a floor cleaning tool, essentially characterized in that it comprises a flat body in form of a triangular spattle with a front edge eventaully provided with a fold, and comprising means for coupling to a mop supporting head of a floor cleaning tool, said means being constituted by an annular body adaptable to the connector of the head, and in particular the radius of the ideal circumference defined by the scraper edge being larger than the radius of the mop supporting head.
