Definitions
- the present invention relates to a surface cleaning cloth particularly adapted to be used to clean, wash or polish floors.
- cloths are used that are passed manually on the surfaces to be cleaned or applied to a proper tool such as a plate articulated to a handle which is gripped by the user.
- a cloth of known type generally referred to as mop is shown in fig. 1, where it is shown in a cross sectional view for sake of simplicity.
- This mop comprises a first flexible laminar support 1 connected through a seam 2 to a second laminar support 3 facing the first support, whose outer surface 3a is provided with projecting filamentary elements made of natural or synthetic material, constituting the cleaning surface.
- the second flexible laminar support 3 has lower perimetral dimensions relative to the first laminar support 1 so as to define at one or more sides of the latter an edge along which a fringe 4 is fixed, said fringe protruding laterally from the first laminar support 1 to which it is connected by a seam 4a.
- a first drawback shown by the cloths of the above described kind consist in that the lateral arrangement of the fringe having the cleaning filaments mainly oriented horizontally, causes its reduced adhesion to the surface to be cleaned relative to the central zone where the cleaning surface S is located, thus obtaining a reduced cleaning capability at the cloth perimetral edge.
- Another drawback consist in that such reduced cleaning capability of the fringe is felt especially at the corners, for instance near furniture legs or bases or at wall corners.
- a further drawback mainly arising from the generally horizontal arrangement of the fringe filaments, consists in that said fringe has a poor cushioning effect in case of impact against things like table and chair legs, bases and the like.
- Cloths of the kind shown in fig. 2 are also known, comprising a first flexible laminar support 10 and a second flexible laminar support 11 having its cleaning surface with dimensions bigger than the first support, so that the projecting lateral zones may be turned over and perimetrally blocked to the first laminar support 10 by a seam.
- Cloths of the just described kind have a greater cushioning effect on at least two perimetral edges relative to the previously described mops, however they have the drawback that the lateral turned over zones have a rounded profile which is not optimal to carry out cleaning and dust collection at the corners, for instance near furniture bases or legs such as tables.
- the present invention aims at removing the above mention drawbacks.
- a first object of the invention is to provide a surface cleaning cloth allowing to obtain a better cleaning relative to the prior art cloths more particularly at the corner or near curved zones.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a cloth having a greater cushioning effect against impact in comparison with the known cloths of equivalent kind.
- a surface cleaning cloth that according to the first claim comprises a first flexible laminar support to which a second flexible laminar support is applied, having the outer surface covered by cleaning material adapted to be put in contact with the surface to be cleaned and having along at least a perimetral stretch a fringe with filamentary elements projecting from one or more sides of said flexible laminar support, characterized in that said fringe has at least an edge that is inserted between said first and second flexible laminar support to which it is joined through fastening means.
- the fastening means are developed along the whole fringe length and consist of one or more seams.
- the fringe consists of filamentary elements mutually juxtaposed and connected at the end for instance by seams, so as to define the edge which is arranged between the flexible laminar supports.
- the first and the second laminar support are preferably but not exclusively made of polyester, while the cleaning material covering the second support and the filamentary elements of the fringe are made of polyester micro-fibers.
- the cloth of the invention is shown in figs. 3 and 4 where it is generally indicated with numeral 20.
- the cloth 20 comprises a first flexible laminar support 21 of a general rectangular shape, to which a second flexible laminar support 22 is applied, of which one of the outer surfaces 22a is covered with cleaning material 23 that on use of the cloth is put in contact with the surface to be cleaned.
- both laminar supports 21, 22 have a generally rectangular shape, but it is clear that they could have any desired shape for different embodiments.
- the laminar supports 21 and 22 are preferably made of polyester, while the cleaning material 23 and the filamentary elements 26 of fringe 24 are preferably made of polyester micro-fibers.
- the fringe 24 has an edge 24a which is inserted between the first 21 and the second 22 flexible laminar support to which the fringe is joined by fastening means generally indicated with numeral 25.
- the fastening means 25 are developed peripherally to the first 21 and the second 22 laminar support for the whole length of the fringe 24 and in the embodiment of fig. 4 consist of yarn seams.
- these fastening means 25 may consist of equivalent fastening elements of known type such as for instance gluing substances.
- fringe 24 that is illustrated in detail in fig. 5, it is made of filamentary elements generally indicated with numeral 26. They are arranged juxtaposed one another along a generally longitudinal direction X and are preferably but not necessarily made of polyester micro-fibers like the cleaning material 23 covering the second laminar support 22.
- all the ends 26a of the filamentary elements 26 arranged on one side are fixedly joined together preferably through seams. In such a way an edge 24a is obtained, intended to fix the fringe 24 to the laminar supports 21, 22.
- the filamentary elements 26 are of the open end type but may also be of the closed end type, in other words generally consisting of a closed loop filament with overlapping ends.
- the fringe 24 carries out a cushioning effect preserving the bottom parts of furniture, chairs and other things resting on the floor from violent impacts that could damage them, at the same time improving the cleaning effect as well.
- the edge 24a may be made for instance by gluing the ends 26a of the filamentary elements 26.
- the cloth 20 may have coupling means 27 consisting of a glove in case a direct hand use of the cloth 20 is desired.
- filamentary elements and the cleaning material may be made of any kind of material, at the choice of the manufacturer as a function of the use for which the product is intended.
