Definitions
- the present invention relates to a foot pedal which facilitates the process of wringing out mops, the mops being of the type used for wiping surfaces and a headpiece which carries a plurality of cleaning leather fringes or strips and a stem which on the head piece is coupled to facilitate gripping and handling of the mop.
- a foot lever for mops which defines a small platform in the area of the connection between the handle and the mop head piece, which is used to rest a foot on it and to exert with the foot the force required to press the head piece against the grille of the bucket and allows it to be wrung out without having to use hand power, which is also more effective wringing out than when hand is used.
- Said foot lever comprises a lateral extension, which is arranged in a region near the connection of the head piece to the handle and is oriented in a direction which is noticeably essentially to the geometric axis of the handle.
- This side extension has an upper surface for supporting the foot, with which the force is exerted which is necessary for wringing out the mop.
- said foot pedal will be located either in the lower portion of the stem or in the upper portion of the head piece which carries the cleaning leather strips, so that the foot lever is in the mop wringing position at a reasonable height which is easily accessible with one foot , so that the lateral extension can be given sufficient pressure in the direction of the lower region in order to achieve a satisfactory wringing out.
- the foot pedal may have means for rigidly or movably attaching it either to the handle or to the head of any mop available on the market.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the foot pedal, the subject of
- this foot lever is formed by a lateral extension and a tubular structure which is attached to the handle of a mop with free rotation and longitudinal displacement.
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment variant of the
- Foot lever which in this case is provided with the lateral extension and with an attachment plate which is fastened to the handle of the mop with rivets.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of an embodiment variant of the
- Foot lever in which the lateral extension is defined in the head of the mop itself.
- a conventional mop which is formed by a handle 1, which is attached to the head piece 2, which carries the strips 21; the foot lever, which is the subject of the invention, is attached to the handle 1 with free rotation and longitudinal displacement possibility.
- the foot lever is formed by a lateral extension 3 which defines an upper surface 31 for exerting pressure with the foot in the direction of the lower region when the mop is wrung out, this process being facilitated.
- the lateral extension 3 is provided with a tubular structure 32 perpendicular to the said lateral extension 3 and with a diameter sufficient to allow it to be attached to the handle 1 with the possibility of free rotation and longitudinal displacement.
- This The possibility of moving the foot lever in relation to the mop allows, among other things, the following:
- the lateral extension has a suitable length that allows it to be pressed with the foot and does not interfere with the normal use of the mop.
- the tubular structure 32 adapts to the connection area between the stem and the head piece. Since mops are available on the market where this area does not have a protective part, the tubular structure 32 must already be of sufficient thickness or have a thickening at its lower end so that it is not jammed in the annular groove of this connection.
- the foot lever comprises a lateral extension 3, which is analogous to that of the previous embodiment, and a circuit board 33 for its rigid attachment to the lower region of the Stem 1 or in the upper section of the head piece 2; this fastening in the example shown in FIG. 2 being carried out by means of screws 4.
- the lateral extension 3 of the foot lever on the head piece 2 itself is defined and forms part of the same.
- the lateral extension 3 can have an inner reinforcing rib 34 in order to prevent its deformation when the same is pressed down.
