  • Each wall member has an outer portion, an inner portion, and a transition zone between the outer portion and inner portion and each wall member having an upper face and an under face that is facing the container.
  • WO 2011/000332 A1 discloses a press-type rotary dehydration barrel comprising a barrel body which can dehydrate hydrous articles.
  • a rotatable rotary basket is arranged in the barrel body through a transmission shaft which is vertically arranged.
  • the transmission shaft passes through the concave bottom surface of the barrel body and the lower end part of the transmission shaft is pressed onto a movable block by a steel ball.
  • a cleaning utensil having a new dewatering mechanism comprises an outer casing having a base portion and sidewalls, said sidewalls comprising cavities allowing water flow.
  • a cylindrical bowl is located in the outer casing wherein the bowl has a cylindrical inner volume which is convergent in its radial dimension from its top rim towards its bottom wall.
  • the dewatering mechanism also comprises a wringer having a base plate and a plurality of wringer arms which are distributed around the periphery of said base plate and which extend towards the upper rim of the cylindrical bowl. Distinguishingly, the wringer has a helical drill attached to its base plate and extending in the vertical direction (-y) towards the base portion of the outer casing.
  • the outer casing has a drill nut which is sized and shaped to accommodate the helical drill and which has inner helix, such that when said helical drill engages the inner helix of said drill nut, both of the helical drill and the wringer simultaneously rotate around the vertical axis (y) and also displace towards the base portion of the outer casing.
  • Each of the plurality of wringer arms are flexibly connected to the base plate through a flexible bending portion such that when the wringer moves towards the base portion of the outer casing, the plurality of wringer arms are bent inwardly in the radial direction.
  • Primary object of the present invention is to provide a new cleaning utensil which eliminates the drawbacks of the existing cleaning utensils, particularly in dewatering process of the swab of a cleaning mop.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a cleaning utensil, in which an improved wringer effectively and quickly removes water from the swab of a cleaning mop.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to provide a cleaning utensil in which the dewatering mechanism removes water from the swab not only by squeezing the swab but also rotating the same for acting centrifugal forces on water particles.
