Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floor mop which introduces features of novelty and inventive activity over the prior art.
  • floor mop which comprise a gripping handle and a part in the form of a disc for securing the cloth of the mop.
  • the cloth is customarily formed by sheet-form elements in one piece, imitating the manual cloths traditionally used, or in some cases the cloth is substituted by a group of braids forming a mass which imitates the mentioned cloths.
  • the floor mops known at present have a reduced functional efficiency, like the mops traditionally known and used.
  • the floor mop forming the subject-matter of the present invention has a novel structure intended to achieve a more efficient and longer-lasting functioning of the mop and, at the same time, some structural features which render its manufacture and assembly more economical.
  • the mop forming the subject-matter of the present invention is formed firstly by a combination of various groups of cleaning elements in the form of sheet-form strips of absorbent wiping material which adopt an arrangement of a number of layers, forming various groups distributed radially around the axis of the mop handle.
  • Each of the cleaning elements is preferably in the form of an elongate strip which is fastened in the central portion or securing hub of the mop and its handle, in a regular or irregular radial arrangement, the mop preferably being formed by a first layer or upper layer based on strips of woven material, an intermediate layer based on strips of braid and a lower layer or closing layer based on strips of non-woven material.
  • the combination of the strips of woven and non-woven material and the strips of braid in the mentioned distribution confers features of special efficiency on the mop.
  • the holding of the individual sheet-form elements in the central portion or securing hub attached to the handle is effected by means of a system of hollow rods which exhibit considerable radial resilience, having near their ends an external frustoconical structure which forms a suspension hook-like border having a structure such that it fits in recesses shaped to mate with the securing plate, which is penetrated by the hollow rods.
  • the securing plate is formed by a moulded part having a large central opening permitting the passage of liquids and also has a series of lower reinforcing ribs for increasing its strength, which ribs preferably start in the immediate vicinity of the housings for the frustoconical tops of the hollow rods.
  • the mop may be formed by a layer of upper strips of the woven or non-woven type and a lower layer of braids. Equally, consideration may be given to a variant based on an upper layer of strips of woven material and a lower layer of strips of non-woven material. According to another variant, the mop may be formed on the basis of an upper layer composed of strips of non-woven material and a lower layer composed of strips of woven material.
  • the arrangement of the cleaning strips will be in regular or irregular radial form and they will be secured in an analogous manner by means of a reinforced closing plate and hollow rods.
  • Figure 1 shows a section through a mop produced in accordance with the present invention, Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 each showing sectional details through the indicated sectional planes.
  • Figure 6 is a bottom view of the central portion receiving the cleaning strips of the mop.
  • Figure 7 shows a section through the indicated sectional plane of the securing portion of Figure 6.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show views, in section and in accordance with a plan view, respectively, of the central portion or shield for securing the cleaning strips.
  • Figure 10 shows a detail of the securing of the central shield with respect to the part for supporting the strips.
  • Figures 11 and 12 show respective sections of a variant of the present invention.
  • Figures 13 and 14 are sections similar to those of Figures 11 and 12, corresponding to a second variant.
  • Figures 15 and 16 show sections corresponding to another variant.
  • the present invention comprises a number of elongate cleaning strips of variable width, such as 1, 2 and 3, which are arranged radially in a regular or irregular form with respect to a securing portion 4 of the moulded type, preferably of plastics material, which has a cavity 5 for housing the shaft of the mop.
  • the strips forming the cleaning elements are secured simply by pressure from the closing shield 6 fitted on the securing rods 7, 7', ... which are provided in varying number at the flange-shaped plate 8 of the securing portion 4.
  • the shield 6 has a central opening 9 permitting improved entry and discharge for fluids and likewise that the rods 7, 7', ...
  • the shield 6 has, on the said lower face, reinforcing ribs 12, 12', 12", which vary in number in accordance with the number of securing rods and are arranged on the lower face of the shield in order to improve the rigidity thereof.
  • the layers of cleaning elements are composed of a first layer of strips 1 of absorbent woven material and, below that layer, a layer of strips of braid 2 and, further down or at the bottom portion, a layer of strips 3 of non-woven material.
  • the mop is produced by means of an upper layer of strips 13 of the woven or non-woven type and a lower layer of strips 14 of braid, this being a simplified version which may be effective for certain types of cleaning.
  • the upper layer of cleaning elements is composed of a number of strips 15 of woven material and the lower layer 16 is composed of a number of strips of non-woven material.
  • the first layer is composed of a number of strips 17 of non- woven material and the lower layer 18 is composed of a number of strips of woven material.
