Definitions

  • the object of this invention is a cleaning mop, in particular a cleaning mop with edges that are differently structured and a new system for making a cleaning mop.
  • a cleaning rag or cloth very often defined as a cleaning mop, comprises a support and an active part.
  • the active part is that part of the mop that can carry out the actual cleaning function, coming into contact with the surfaces to be cleaned, removing and retaining the dirt.
  • the shape of a normal mop is rectangular, with blades or tabs on its edges, or other devices for retaining the respective mop base.
  • the mop is a cloth that is not thick enough to be used with uniform pressure over the its entire extension directly on the floor, it is necessary for the effective use of a mop to use a mop base that in some way is joined to said mop.
  • the mop base in fact, is a rigid structure composed of one or more articulated elements that, holding the mop facing the floor, allows the cleaning to be directed by pressing the cloth uniformly on the floor with pressure exercised by the operator through the handle, hinged to said mop base.
  • the standard mop can be used both wet and dry, when implementing a different phase of the cleaning.
  • Mops to be able to provide the above-mentioned mechanical characteristics, require a support made of a strong and continuous material, and this is especially true at the ends or the edge, since these parts are most exposed to wear and are subjected to greater mechanical stress during the various operations: the edges need particular attention, both for the material used as well as for their creation and arrangement.
  • This stitched binding along the edge can directly overlap the edge itself, but very often it is folded over to retain the edge inside it by means of linear stitching, which unites the three layers: a first layer composed of the binding on top of the edge, a second layer composed of the edge itself of the cloth, and finally a third layer composed of the sewn binding itself underneath the cloth but folded.
  • edges need to be strengthened with precise stitching at the end, and therefore the use of an overlock sewing machine is to be preferred.
  • the thread used for this operation to strengthen and stiffen the edge is a very strong thread, necessarily different to the mop support and to the material that does the cleaning.
  • This flat arrangement is very important in the eventuality that the edge of the mop has to be held by the gripper mouth of a mop base, whose opening is relatively small.
  • mop bases are, for example, those that hold the mop by gripping it along the lengthwise edge, and which can be rotated to place one of the two surfaces face down on the floor.
  • a mop of this type can advantageously be made with the symmetrical coupling of a pair of mops stitched together along their perimeter.
  • the thickness of the double cloth corresponds to the sum of the thickness of each cloth used and its stitching.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a mop that is similar to and can replace current mops.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a mop that can be made equally cheaply as that made with stitching along the edges, but with improved productivity and equally reliable results.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a mop that can be effectively made also when there are curved profiles and with indentations that present interruptions or angles.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a mop that can be made with a precise dimension that can be exactly repeated.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a mop that does not have the drawback of differentiated shrinkage or tensions near the edges.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a mop that can also easily create the mop joint with the purposes mentioned above.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a mop that is suitable for being easily joined to a mop base.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a mop that is easily joined along its lengthwise edge to a gripper mouth of a mop base.
  • this invention is a cleaning cloth or cleaning mop, composed in at least one or more perimeter edges of a sealable material that itself has one or more perimeter edges sealed continuously or in a series of spaced out spots.
  • the sealing used is of the ultrasonic variety, providing a reliable seal that is also quick to make.
  • the edge, but also the entire surface of the mop is composed of a sealable material, and advantageously using ultrasonic sealing, allowing a mop to be made directly from a strip of this sealable material.
  • Another benefit of this invention is that it can provide a cleaning mop that is completely the same as, and can replace, current mops whose edges are stitched, allowing the mop of this invention to be used with standard equipment.
  • Another advantage of this invention is the inexpensiveness of the mop obtained, since it can provide excellent productivity, avoiding machine downtimes because, for example, of sewing thread breaking or the necessary and continuous replacement of the sewing thread.
  • Another object of this invention is the fact that any profile, whether straight or curved, or whether with interruptions with a different angle, can be made without any slowdown in production operations.
  • the union of various layers can also advantageously make a mop according to the invention, obtaining a mop with a double active surface, on both sides, where said union of the edges with various layers is carried out using sealing and advantageously using ultrasonic sealing.
  • a mop formed of the union of diverse materials can be obtained according to the invention, opportunely calibrating the degree of penetration of the sealing, obtaining a reliable and solid joint along the entire edge, also near the corner zones.
  • a strengthened edge can be obtained that is useful for being easily attached to a mop base.
  • a further advantage can be obtained with a mop according to the invention where the sealing of the edges is continuous but at set points, eventually spaced out, leaving a zone for compensating the tensions or any differentiated shrinkages between one sealing point and another, and also providing a flexibility comparable to that of a cloth that has not been sealed.
  • a further advantage is with sealing, continuous or spaced apart spot sealing, not only along the perimeter edge but also inside the perimeter of the mop greater structural solidity is thereby conferred to the mop itself.
  • a mop is attached to a base by means of retention tabs, which are joined to the mop itself as different and separate elements, with the production method of this invention at least a perimeter sealed part advantageously creates the above-mentioned tabs suitable for being joined to a mop base, thereby avoiding having to accessorise the mop with other different and separate retention tabs.
  • this invention comprises at least three laminar surfaces sealed to one another along the edges, where the one interposed centrally, defined as a second surface or central surface, is an impermeable surface, constituting an airtight barrier between a first external washing surface and the third opposite surface that is, thanks to the above-mentioned barrier, independent of the wetting or dampness of the first surface.
  • the normal cleaning cloth 1 has a support surface 5, just one side of which has material 6 suitable for cleaning operations.
  • Said cloth 1 has a stitched band on its edge, usually with linear stitching 4 along its edges 2 to strengthen it and increase its resistance to wear.
  • the object of the invention is a cleaning cloth or mop 7, equipped with a support surface 8, just one side of which has material 9 that is suitable for cleaning, where its edges 14 are sealed with continuous sealing 10 or with spot sealing 11.
  • the invention does not require, however, any stitching because the sealing 10, 11 of its edges 14 strengthens its structure, thereby preventing it from deteriorating, but even if a further band was required, this would be joined to it using a sealing process 10, 11 in a single pass, without requiring any stitching.
  • the cleaning cloth 15 has a double cleaning surface, for each of the two sides.
  • This cleaning cloth 15 is obtained from the union of two 7 basically symmetrical cloths joined along the perimeter edge (or eventually for a single folded cloth 7 just their free edges are joined).
  • Such a cleaning cloth 15, which can easily be obtained with the methods set out above, is particularly useful and effective in combination with a mop base that allows you to make use of both active cleaning surfaces, eventually without detaching and rotating for re-joining the above-mentioned cleaning cloth 15 with the double active surface.
  • sealing 10, 11 which strengthens its edges 14, preventing the weft from unravelling because of wear or deterioration.
  • These stiffened edges 14 can advantageously be used in combination with a mop base that can engage the cleaning cloth 15 along its lengthwise edge.
