Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device for the cleaning or waxing of floors.
  • the floor-cloth is periodically immersed in a bucket of liquid, then wrung out by hand in such a way as to reduce the stored liquid and so dragged over the floor. This leads to the necessity of carrying round the bucket full of liquid and furthermore the floor-cloth becomes completely soaked and becomes of not inconsiderable weight.
  • a device for the cleaning or waxing of floors comprising a handle, a container for a liquid fitted with a dispenser having push-operated actuating means, and a hollow body attached to the lower end of the handle.
  • the hollow body in turn, comprises an upper portion provided with a housing for the container, the said housing having an opening crossed by the push-operated actuating means of the dispenser being removable from the housing itself.
  • the hollow body also comprises a lower portion on which rest the push-operated actuating means and which is fitted with a plurality of outlet holes.
  • the housing and the opening are shaped in such a way to permit the supply of liquid by means of pressure exerted on the base of the container.
  • a rough layer of natural or synthetic fibres is fixed beneath the lower portion of the hollow body.
  • the upper portion and the lower portion are provided with separable connecting means.
  • the container is of limited dimensions and it is possible to use the device to distribute different liquids on the floor, for example, detergents or wax, simply by replacing the container. Beneath the rough layer of fibres, it is possible to apply a smaller floor-cloth than normal, by means of the same distributing the liquid uniformly on the floor without leaving unwanted lines or rings. It is not necessary to touch the floor-cloth continually with the hands to wet it and wring it out and it does not become heavy because it absorbs a limited quantity of liquid.
  • the device is, overall, very easy to manage, light and practical to use.
  • a device for the cleaning or waxing of floors comprises a hollow body 2 made from a moulded plastic material and including an upper portion 2a and a lower portion 2b each of which being coupled to the other.
  • the upper portion 2a shaped substantially like the lid of a box, is fitted with a support 10 having a tapped opening 11 for connection to a handle 1.
  • the said handle can also be hinged to the support 10.
  • the upper portion 2a of the body 2 is also laterally provided with a housing 21 for the insertion, in a removable way, of a container 3 for a liquid 4 to distribute on the floor, for example, detergent or wax.
  • the container 3 is of the type equipped with a dispenser 30 activated by pressing the head 31 with the spout 33.
  • a hole 22, for the passage of the head 31 of the dispenser 30, is provided for on the base of the housing 21; a slot 22a allows the passage of the spout 33.
  • the lower portion 2b which is shaped substantially like the base of a box, is equipped with a plurality of outlet holes 20 and at least one pair of walls defining one - denoted with the number 25 - or more - denoted with numbers 25a and 25b - feeding ducts of the holes 20 (see Figure 3).
  • An edge 27 is also envisaged for the accommodation of the head 31 of the dispenser.
  • the lower portion 2b of the hollow body 2 is fitted with a rough layer 5 of synthetic or natural fibres, the principal function thereof being to grip a floor-cloth (not illustrated).
  • the container 3 When functioning, the container 3 is inserted into the housing 21 with the actuating means of the dispenser 30 - the head 31 - rested on the lower portion 2b.
  • the housing 21 and the opening 22 are shaped in such a way as to allow, by pressing for instance with a foot, the base of the container 3, a certain quantity of liquid 4 to be pumped from the spout 33 which through the duct 25 and through the holes 20 is transmitted to the floor-cloth.
  • a window 50 in the layer 5 of fibres is preferably provided for in correspondence to the holes 20 in such a way as to allow a free transmission of the liquid to the floor-cloth (see Figure 4).
  • a part of the liquid 4 is anyway absorbed by the layer 5 of fibres, and thus progressively released to the floor-cloth.
  • a bent hose 32 can be used, inside the container 3, to ensure the complete consumption of the liquid 4.
  • the upper portion 2a and the lower portion 2b are equipped with separable connecting means, for example a rounded projection 24 and a corresponding housing 23. This allows the use of different lower portions 2b, for example, for detergents or for wax.
  • the device can also be used without the floor-cloth, using the rough layer 5 to remove, for example, paint marks or drips of lime.
