Definitions

  • the present invention therefore seeks to provide a solution to these problems.
  • a mophead comprising a holder, flexible absorbent mop material held by the holder, and a cleaning implement which is independent of the mop material and which is permanently attached or disengageably attachable to the holder at a position adjacent to the outside of the mop material.
  • the mop material is flexible absorbent material, and, for example, can be a bundle of flexible strands, or a sheet or sheets of flexible absorbent material.
  • the holder 12 shown in the drawings is intended to include an elongate releasable clamping member to releasably clamp the mop material in the channel 20 of the body part 16 of the holder 12.
  • the clamping member may take the form suggested in GB2323024, with or without the suggested brush or other cleaning device.
  • the body part 16 of the holder 12 is adapted to accept releasable engagement of the clamping member.
  • both interior longitudinal surfaces 28 of the channel 20 of the body part 16 are each formed with an elongate recess 30 (shown in Figure 4, but best seen in Figure 9) which extends along a major portion of the longitudinal extent of the body part 16.
  • Two spaced tabs 32 are formed in the channel 20 and extend in a direction towards main opening 34 of the channel 20. The tabs 32 extend over part of each recess 30. Although not shown, the tabs 32 preferably extend through the main opening 34 and thus project below an adjacent edge 24 of the channel 20.
  • the channel element 38 is typically extruded plastics and is formed with an inwardly projecting shoulder 50.
  • the shoulder 50 extends along the longitudinal extent of the channel element 38, adjacent to the edge 52 of a second longitudinal side 46 of the channel element 38.
  • the second side 46 is opposite the first side 40.
  • the shoulder 50 is adapted to cooperate with the catch elements 36 of the holder 12.
  • the channel element 38 is dimensioned to be an interference fit on the edge 24 of the channel 20 of the holder 12.
  • the or each cleaning implement 14' is thus removable from the holder 12 by releasing the respective catch elements 36 from the slots 44.
  • the or each cleaning implement 14' can thus be changed or dispensed with.
  • FIG. 14 to 17 there is shown a third embodiment of a mophead 10''.
  • This embodiment differs in respect to the first and second embodiments only in cleaning implement 14". Therefore, the other parts, which are identical to those of the first and second embodiments, have the same references and detailed description is omitted.
  • the cleaning implement 14" is permanently attached to the body part 16 of the holder 12, and resides adjacent to the outside, but is independent, of mop material held by the holder 12.
  • the cleaning implement 14/14'/14'' shown in the drawings is, or includes, an abrasive pad 26/26'
  • the cleaning implement 14/14'/14'' could be, or include, a scraper, a brush or any other suitable cleaning device.
  • the type of cleaning implement to be used can be selected based on the task at hand.
  • the cleaning implement 14" may be advantageous to unitarily form the cleaning implement 14" on the body part 16 of the holder 12.
  • the cleaning implement 14" is a scraper, this would be particularly convenient.
  • the mophead holder and channel element are preferably formed from plastics, any suitable material can be utilised.
  • the mophead 10/10'/10'' is typically used with a cleaning liquid container, such as a domestic or commercial bucket or pail, which may or may not have a mop wringer.
  • a cleaning liquid container such as a domestic or commercial bucket or pail, which may or may not have a mop wringer.
  • the mop wringer may be mechanical or manual.
  • the holder 12 of the mophead 10/10'/10'' can be dimensioned to fit, and is thus useable with, any suitable mop wringer.
  • the cleaning implement 14/14'/14'' is not, and does not include, a bundle of mop strands.
