Definitions

  • Cloths for cleaning floors are well known, they are generally wet or dry, and are suitable for being used together with a mop base.
  • the mop is disengaged from the base to be put in a container for dirty cloths to be washed and eventually re-used when clean.
  • the side to be used for fixing to the mop base support is not an active side for cleaning since the cloths generally only use one side.
  • every new attachment whether to replace a dirty cloth with a clean one, or whether happening unexpectedly because of an accidental detachment, means the operator has to carry out a tiresome operation that certainly wastes time.
  • the aim of this invention is to make available a cloth that can overcome one or more of the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a cloth that can easily be attached to a mop base of the gripper variety, in a reliable manner, in particular without requiring any manual intervention.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a cloth that can easily be disengaged from the mop base of the gripper variety, without requiring any manual intervention.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a cloth that is relatively easy to arrange so that it can be securely connected to the mop base of the gripper variety.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a cloth that can also be used with lateral cleaning movements without undergoing any loosening or detachment from the base it is attached to.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a cloth that can be held securely also in the face of abrupt lengthwise stresses with respect to the mop base.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a cloth that can be retained securely and that is easy to connect even after numerous washes, without the connecting part deteriorating.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a cloth that can be wrung by a wringer even when attached to the mop base after being rinsed.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a cloth whose means of connection do not introduce parts that will deteriorate even before the cloth itself.
  • Said cleaning cloth also achieves other aims that will be explained more fully in the description.
  • the object of the invention is a cleaning cloth including at least one coupling element, suitable for being joined solidly to a mop base, protruding along at least one lengthwise edge of said cloth, whose thickness and/or rigidity is greater than the material from which the cloth is made.
  • said protrusion is aimed in a normal direction to one or both the active cleaning surfaces of the cloth, presenting itself as a swelling of the perimeter side or the edge to be used for the attachment.
  • said protrusion is aimed in a direction that is coplanar to the cloth, presenting itself as an overhanging coupling element with respect to the structure of the cloth.
  • said coupling element is configured like a blade, also divided into separate and eventually spaced elements, a plate joined solidly to the cloth along the lengthwise retention edge, and usefully said blade has an enlargement or increase in the end section along its free edge, opposite to the one joined to the cloth, where said enlargement is capable of connecting to the gripper of a mop base.
  • said enlargement has a sawtooth-shaped section conveniently smoothed at the end of the overhang in order to facilitate the insertion into the mouth of the gripper and ensure it is held inside the mouth of the gripper safe from unwanted detachments.
  • the height of the tooth is comparable to the thickness of the cloth, and in any event high enough to maintain a direction of the point of the arrow that is not directed downwards, namely towards the floor when the cloth is laying on the ground, i.e. laid out on the floor.
  • the cloth has both surfaces that are active and suitable for cleaning, allowing, with two equal surfaces of the cloth, an increase in the amount of surface that can be cleaned with a considerable saving of time.
  • Another advantage consists of the fact that both opposite and active surfaces suited to cleaning are made of different materials and finishes to carry out a dedicated and diverse cleaning phase.
  • An even further advantage consists of the fact that in combination, or otherwise, with a cloth with a double active cleaning surface, the protruding blade for being gripped and attached to the cloth has a symmetrical enlargement of the opposite free edge, thereby creating a symmetrical and mirrored configuration.
  • said enlarged edge has a double sawtooth configuration, with the tooth directed towards each side, conveniently smoothed at its overhanging end to facilitate insertion into the mouth of the gripper.
  • said blade has one or more recesses at the locators near the gripping mouth of the mop base.
  • Said recesses also provide the edges that in association with the locators near the mouth of the gripper act as crosswise limit stops, limiting or preventing the lateral movements between the cloth and the mop base, preventing detachment because of sliding.
  • the stiffening of the edge to be used for the coupling comes mainly from the increase of the section of the protrusion and/or the material of said protrusion compared to the cloth capable of joining to the mop base.
  • the stiffening of the end of the edge, the partial supplementary stiffening inside the cloth section, and the symmetrical arrangement of the rigid structure it is possible to obtain a cleaning cloth that when thrown on the floor by the operator, even without any particular precautions, keeps the edge to be used for the attachment in a continuous and smooth configuration to be engaged by the mouth of the mop base gripper.
  • this sawtooth would bring the free end, suitably smoothed, to a height, with respect to the support base of the cleaning cloth, to overcome the attachment edge of the mop base, thereby facilitating the operation to overcome the initial part of the gripper of the mop base.
  • a symmetrical double sawtooth configuration arranged directly on the edge was chosen, or opportunely spaced along the free overhanging edge of the fin that is an accessory of the cloth.
  • This double sawtooth configuration facilitates the laying of the cloth on the floor and helps the operator in operations to change and replace the cloth when putting the cloth on the floor, since the operator is no longer forced to pay attention as to the application side of the fin because this is symmetrical.
  • the shape of the recesses on the protruding edge or on the fin defines the maximum depth the cloth can enter inside the mouth of the mop base gripper, since it comes up against special limit stops next to said mouth of the gripper; this device helps the operator to join the base to the cloth by limiting the insertion depth of the edge or the fin inside the mouth of the gripper, so that it cannot go beyond this depth, something that would compromise the closing of the gripper itself, and also wasting part of the active surface of the cleaning cloth that would not be placed near the floor to be cleaned.
  • said fin can continue to be monolithic, preserving its continuity inside the profile of the lengthwise edge of the cleaning cloth, or these recesses could be total and through-passing, not maintaining therefore the structural unity of the wing that would find itself configured as two or more elements joined solidly together on the edge of the cleaning cloth, slightly spaced out from each other.
  • the normal cleaning cloth does not have any devices for facilitating it being gripped by the mouth of a gripper of a mop base, and it is rectangular in shape.
  • this cloth especially when wet, and above all if flimsy, when it is left to fall on the floor by the operator, almost always the edge to be gripped is not flat and quite often it has a fold 2, overlapping, or with a configuration of the edge that is not smooth and continuous, but with a recess 3.
  • a cloth on the floor that has either a fold 2 or a recess 3 makes any gripping operation difficult to carry out and practically impossible at the first attempt, since it requires some manual adjustment.
  • the mop base 4 which is the object of the invention, has a protrusion 12, or an enlargement or increase in section, on at least one lengthwise edge that increases the firmness and/or the thickness.
  • This protrusion 12 which advantageously is perpendicular to one or both the active surfaces of the cleaning cloth, realises and attains many of the characteristic advantages mentioned above.
  • Another type of protrusion on the mop base that is the object of this invention comes out of the lengthwise edge in a direction that is coplanar to the cleaning cloth, as an overhang, being configured as a stiffened part or a fin 5, made of a material that is more solid and stiffer with respect to the cloth 4.
  • the fin 5 in order to highlight the characteristics set out above, can partially continue inside the cloth for a partial piece 6, facilitating both the realisation and conferral of greater rigidity due to the overlapping of the thicknesses.
  • This fin 5 envisages that it is applied symmetrically, namely at an equal distance from the cloth surfaces.
  • said fin 5 is enlarged at the end 7.
  • a saw tooth profile 8 of said end enlargement has the advantage of sliding easily inside the inclined profile of the mouth 13 of the mop base 14 gripper, and also has the advantage at its steep front 9 of being held better, above all in combination with a complementary profile of the gripper mouth 13 of the mop base 14.
  • a height of such a tooth comparable to the thickness of the cloth 4, or such that the tip, opportunely rounded off, is directed upwards, facilitates the above-mentioned operation of overcoming the initial part of the mouth 13of the gripper of the mop base 14.
  • one or more recesses are provided along the edge that has the protrusion 12, or the fin 5, with respect to the free edge, where these recesses in cooperation with special locators 15 near the mouth 13 of the gripper of the mop base 14, making a centred attachment possible and at the correct depth of insertion into said mouth 13.
  • said recesses can have an inclined auto-centring inclination and their depth limits, by hitting against the above-mentioned locators 15, how far the edge with the protrusion 12 or the fin 5 inserts when engaged inside the mop base 14.
  • the edge with the protrusion 12 or fin 5 can be configured as a single piece, but also divided into several distinct elements, without this invalidating the characteristics of a flat arrangement and with a continuous profile when laid on the floor.
  • said teeth and in particular the lateral shoulders 11 of these recesses, are very important in order to limit or impede the crosswise sliding of the cloth 4 with respect to the base 14.
  • said lateral shoulders 11 of these recesses are next to the side walls 16 of special locators 15 near the mouth 13 of the gripper, cooperating with them to prevent the above-mentioned crosswise movements.
  • the locators 15 on the mouth 13 of the mop base 14 that prevent the crosswise shifts of the cloth 4 can also be the same locators 15 that provide the correct centring of the cloth 4 and eventually limiting the depth of the edge with the protrusion 12 or fin 5 that has to enter the mouth 13 in order to guarantee the correct attachment of the saw tooth end edge 8 or double saw tooth 10 of the fin 5 with the complementary profile near the mouth 13 of the mop base 14.
