Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for providing a mop head cover for use with a flat mop device.
  • a usual flat mop device comprises a mop frame, a handle joined to the upper side of the mop frame, preferably by means of a universal joint, and a removable flat mop cover of woven or non-woven textile material with attachment means on the upper side thereof for attachment to the mop frame.
  • the mop frame as such is either a metal frame-construction or a plate-like construction from metal or plastics, mostly of a fold-away type ( WO 03/020100 A1 ). This prior art defines the closest prior art.
  • microfiber material preferably of polyester-microfibers.
  • microfiber material preferably of polyester-microfibers.
  • microfiber material for the definition of microfiber material and for the complete background of this prior art, reference is again made to US 5,887,311 A .
  • a microfiber material with microfibers of less then 1 dtex is indeed suitable for wet cleaning, because such material has a substantial water retention capacity.
  • An alternative approach to a flat mop device uses a fully disposable, single-use material of synthetic microfibers.
  • This prior art combines a mop head cover designed as a simple, thin, cloth-like material of woven or non-woven fabric with a cushioning pad on the underside of the mop frame ( GB 2 031 039 A ).
  • the cushioning pad forms the backing structure for the mop head cover and provides a substantial retention capacity for cleaning liquid.
  • the cushioning pad is made from synthetic sponge material fixedly attached to the underside of the plate-like mop frame.
  • the object of the present invention is met by the method of claim 1 and combines the advantages of both systems and gives full flexibility to the user.
  • the main idea of the present invention is to use the fully disposable or semi-disposable mop head cover on a removable standard flat mop cover from woven or non-woven textile material.
  • Such mop head covers are known for example from US-A-6, 202, 250 and DE-A-20, 106, 432 .
  • the simple sheet-like material for the mop head cover allows that the piece of sheet-like material forming the mop head cover is cut off or otherwise separated from a supply of sheet-like material, in particular from a supply roll. Such a supply of sheet-like material can be carried along with a cleaning trolley so that the person using this flat mop device has always the possibility to use a fresh mop head cover.
  • the mop head cover is made from a semi-disposable material, namely a thin, washable textile material like a cloth of woven or non-woven fabric, preferably a synthetic microfiber material.
  • a semi-disposable material namely a thin, washable textile material like a cloth of woven or non-woven fabric, preferably a synthetic microfiber material.
  • This material provides a high cleaning efficiency, because the semi-disposable mop head cover can be washed and re-used many times up to 600 to 700 times.
  • the complete weight of such mop head cover of a suitable size will be around 20 g for a small mop frame (40 cm x 10 cm) and about 30 g for a larger mop frame (55 cm x 20 cm).
  • Fig. 1 shows all items of a flat mop device of a preferred embodiment.
  • a mop frame 1 On top there can be seen a mop frame 1.
  • a socket 2 for a handle is joined to the upper side of the mop frame I by means of a universal joint 3 which allows movement of the mop frame 1 backwards or forward in all directions.
  • a cushioning pad Below the mop frame 1 a cushioning pad is indicated that is adapted to be positioned on the underside of the mop frame 1 and will be explained later.
  • the third item shown in Fig. 1 is an easily removable mop head cover 4 that, in practice, covers the underside of the cushioning pad and is adapted to be attached to the mop frame 1 during floor cleaning.
  • the mop head cover 4 is designed as a simple, thin sheet-like material. In Fig. 1 it is a cloth of non-woven fabric of synthetic microfiber material. This will be explained later, too.
  • the cushioning pad to be seen in the middle of Fig. 1 is formed as a removable standard flat mop cover 5 from woven or non-woven textile material.
  • This kind of flat mop cover 5 is well known by prior art, in particular US 5,887,311 A and WO 03/020100 A . Here, however, it has the main function of a cushioning pad for the mop head cover 4 and also the function of retaining cleaning liquid if wet cleaning is desired. Soil-removing, however, is done by the mop head cover 4.
  • the standard flat mop cover 5 has the usual attachment means 6 on the upper side thereof for attachment to the mop frame 1.
  • the flat mop cover 5 has a substantially smooth, planar underside.
  • the flat mop cover comprises, forming the main cleaning surface, synthetic microfiber material with microfibers cut to a rather uniform average fiber-length of about 10 mm to 15 mm or less.
  • the flat mop cover 5 comprises microfiber material with microfibers of about 0,5 dtex to about 0,9 dtex, preferably of about 0,6 dtex.
  • the microfiber material is made from polyester-microfibers.
  • Fig. 2 shows the three items of Fig. 1 now combined to a complete flat mop device ready to use.
  • the flat mop cover 5 of an average size of the main cleaning surface of about 40 cm in length and about 10 cm in width is used and has a weight of about 60 g to about 100 g, preferably of about 80 g.
  • This kind of product is on the market by the applicant of the present patent application under the brand "Rasantec mono”.
  • the microfiber material of this flat mop cover 5 provides a water retention capacity of up to 500 %, even up to 700 % of the dry weight of the flat mop cover 5. In practice this means a water retention capacity of up to 560 g based on the weight of the flat mop cover 5 in the dry state of 80 g.
  • This flat mop cover 5 of microfiber material is therefore particularly suitable as a cushioning pad of a flat mop device.
  • Another version for a larger mop frame 1 of 55 cm x 20 cm has a weight of up to 160 g with a preferable weight of about 100 g.
  • attachment means 6 are narrow holding strips running across the plate like mop frame 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows a specific embodiment of the invention where a piece of sheet-like material forming a mop head cover 4 is cut off or otherwise separated from a supply of sheet-like material, in particular from a supply roll 7.
  • Fig. 3 shows the particular attachment means 6 of this mop head cover 4, namely a single, length-wise extending insertion pocket 8.
  • Fig. 2 shows how the mop frame 1 with the flat mop cover 5 attached to the mop frame 1 by the attachment means 6 can be slid into the insertion pocket 8 at the edge of the mop head cover 4.
  • Fig. 3 the supply roll 7 of sheet-like material provides a fully disposable, single-use material, in particular a strong paper. It has already been explained that it is particularly convenient for the user to carry such supply roll 7 along on a transportation trolley.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cut-off line that can be indicated optically or by a perforation.
  • a mop head cover 4 made from a semi-disposable material, namely a thin, washable textile material, in particular a synthetic microfiber material.
  • Those semi-disposable mop head covers 4 can be washed at 60°C many times, up to about 700 times. Washing costs are low, because of the low weight which is about 20 g to 30 g or even only 10 g for a standard piece of cloth forming such semi-disposable mop head cover 4.
