Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi utility cleaning device.
  • Publication WO2015/000878 disclose a device for cleaning floors.
  • the device is designed to ease the labour of the user, e.g. by eliminating the need for the washcloth to be detached for rinsing.
  • Said device could also be used for several other purposes, such as cleaning windows, but would then need additional features to maintain its ease of use.
  • cleaning windows a squeegee is required, which means that the prior art cleaning device will not suffice alone.
  • Another issue with regard to cleaning of windows is the limited reach caused by the short shaft of said device.
  • US patent 7334285 discloses a mop head including an adapter which may be removable attached to hold a cleaning implement such as a scrubber pad or brush. However, in order to mount the cleaning implement the mop head must be disassembled and then reassembled.
  • the present invention is a further development of the prior art WO2015/000878 .
  • auxiliary equipment By incorporating attaching means for auxiliary equipment to the support bodies of the prior art cleaning device, the field of application of the device is enhanced.
  • the auxiliary equipment e.g. a squeegee, is easily enabled by retracting the washcloth. In this way the new multi utility cleaning device can provide further required features for a given operation, within the same device.
  • the reach of the cleaning device is greatly increased.
  • said cleaning device is optimized for cleaning windows or tall surfaces, such as water boards.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 shows the prior art cleaning device 1 in extended position and partly retracted position (fully retracted are illustrated with dotted lines), respectively.
  • the cleaning device 1 has a handle 2 for a user to grab.
  • This handle 2 can be telescopic or adapted for add-on extensions.
  • a deployment assembly 3 can be operated between a retracted and an extended position.
  • the deployment assembly 3 comprise a pivotably arranged carrier 5 which has attaching means for a washcloth 4.
  • the pivoted carrier 5 ensures a smooth alignment with the surface to be cleaned. If no external force is applied to the carrier 5, a spring will force it back to a default position.
  • Two support bodies 6 are arranged at the end of the handle 2, parallel to the orientation of the carrier 5 in its default position. In the extended position, the carrier 5 is extended beyond the support bodies 6. In the retracted position, the carrier 5 is fully retracted between the two support bodies 6.
  • a washcloth 4 fixed to the carrier 5 will be wringed when passing between the support bodies 6.
  • Fig. 3 shows a view of a modified support body 6.
  • the support body 6 has attaching means 7 for auxiliary equipment 8, such as a squeegee, an ice scraper or a toothed spatula.
  • auxiliary equipment 8 such as a squeegee, an ice scraper or a toothed spatula.
  • Fig. 4 shows a section cut of the modified support body 6 with the attaching means 7 installed.
  • the interfacing area of the attaching means 7 has a first hook/clip and at a front end a second hook/clip holding it in place.
  • Said hook/clip can be resilient.
  • Other alternatives comprise force fit, slide fit, magnets or a combination thereof.
  • the attaching means 7 are detachably attached to the support body 6. When installed, the attaching means 7 protrudes away from the support body 6 in an inclined manner in the longitudinal direction of the support body 6.
  • the attaching means extends lengthwise substantially as far as the support body 6.
  • the described configuration enables an operator to perform the entire cleaning operation with only one device.
  • the operator With the multi utility cleaning device 1 in the extended position, the operator will soak the washcloth 4 in soapy water before wringing it by shifting the device to its retracted position. By re-entering the extended position, the washcloth 4 is ready and available for cleaning purposes.
  • the washcloth 4 can be retracted in order to make the squeegee 8 available for use. After squeegeeing, the operation can be repeated, still without having to change device.
  • potential auxiliary equipment 8 comprises a squeegee and in cold climates also an ice scraper. Further fields of use are painting and tile jointing.
