Description
- Not Applicable.
- Not Applicable.
- Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to mops, and more particularly to an improved mop for cleaning vertical baseboards, and the like.
- 2. Discussion of Related Art
- In my previous patent pertaining to mops, U.S. Pat. No. 6,487,746, issued on Dec. 3, 2002, I teach a novel mop that has flexible ends for cleaning vertical surfaces such as baseboards or wall surfaces, particularly under cabinets and other difficult-to-reach areas. This type of device is well-suited for use on low-friction floors surfaces, such as tile, linoleum, wood, vinyl, and the like. However, using a mop over a high-friction surface such as a carpet, even if the horizontal portion of the mop is dry, is difficult because the carpet tends to snag the sponge cleaning head of the mop. Further, having a damp or wet mop head is vital to proper cleaning of baseboards, yet it is not desirable to have such a damp or wet mop head contact a carpeted surface.
- While there are cleaning brushes and implements suitable for use in cleaning baseboards and associated vertical surfaces directly, there are no such devices that are combined in one unit with a floor-cleaning mop. Thus, there is a need for a cleaning device that can clean both low-friction floor surfaces as well as baseboards, the baseboards being either adjacent low-friction or high-friction floor surfaces. Such a needed invention would be relatively inexpensive, easy to configure and use, and relatively inexpensive to manufacture. The present invention accomplishes these objectives.
- The present device is a cleaning implement for cleaning a vertical surface adjacent both a high-friction horizontal floor surface, such as a carpet, or a low-friction horizontal floor surface, such as a vinyl or wood floor. A cleaning head comprises a base, the top surface of which includes a handle attachment means, such as a conventional mop handle receiving screw thread. At least one wing is pivotally fixed to the cleaning head, and each wing is pivotable between a substantially horizontal orientation and a substantially vertical orientation.
- A glide pad is selectively and removably fixed around substantially the entire bottom surface of the cleaning head. The glide pad includes a cleaning head attachment means adapted to selectively hold the glide pad to the cleaning head, and is further adapted for selective releasable attachment to the cleaning implement in a stowed position while not in use on the high-friction horizontal floor surface. The bottom surface of the glide pad includes a low-friction surface for sliding on the high-friction horizontal floor surface.
- In use, with a distal end of an elongated handle fixed to the handle attachment means, the cleaning head may be used to clean the low-friction horizontal floor surface, while one of the at least one wings may be used to clean the vertical surface adjacent thereto. With the glide pad fixed around substantially the entire bottom surface of the cleaning head, which facilitates moving the cleaning implement over the high-friction horizontal floor surface, one of the at least one wings may be used to clean the vertical surface adjacent thereto.
- The present invention is a cleaning implement that can clean both low-friction floor surfaces as well as baseboards, such baseboards being either adjacent low-friction or high-friction floor surfaces. The present invention is relatively inexpensive, easy to configure and use, and relatively inexpensive to manufacture. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the invention, illustrated with one wing of the invention in a vertical orientation and with a glide pad in a stowed position on a mop handle; -
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the invention, illustrated with the glide pad fixed around a cleaning head of the mop; -
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the glide pad of the invention; -
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of one embodiment of the glide pad of the invention; -
FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of an alternate embodiment of the glide pad of the invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the invention, taken generally along lines 6-6 ofFIG. 5 . -
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a cleaning implement 10 for cleaning avertical surface 15 adjacent both a high-frictionhorizontal floor surface 16, such as a carpet, or a low-frictionhorizontal floor surface 17, such as a vinyl or wood floor. - A
cleaning head 20 comprises abase 30 that has atop surface 36, abottom surface 34, and at least oneperipheral edge 35 that connects the top andbottom surfaces top surface 36 includes a handle attachment means 40, such as a conventional mop handle receiving screw thread (not shown). - At least one
wing 50, and preferable twowings 50, are each pivotally fixed to the cleaninghead 20 proximate the at least oneperipheral edge 35 thereof. Eachwing 50 has atop surface 56, abottom surface 54, and at least oneperipheral edge 55 connecting the top andbottom surfaces bottom surface 54 of eachwing 50 is pivotable between a substantiallyhorizontal orientation 60 and a substantially vertical orientation 70 (FIGS. 1 and 2 ). - A preferably water-
impermeable glide pad 80 is selectively and removably fixed around substantially theentire bottom surface 34 of thecleaning head 20. Theglide pad 80 has atop surface 86, abottom surface 84, and at least oneperipheral edge 85 connecting the top andbottom surfaces glide pad 80 includes a cleaning head attachment means 90 adapted to selectively hold theglide pad 80 to thecleaning head 20. Such a cleaning head attachment means 90 may be a mechanical snap means 120 (FIGS. 2 , 5, and 6), or aflexible strap 130 adapted to fit around thetop surface 36 of the cleaning head 20 (FIG. 4 ). Clearly other attachment means 90 could be incorporated in the present invention, providedsuch means 90 allows for selective fixing of theglide pad 80 to thecleaning head 20. Preferably the attachment means 90 releases thecleaning head 20 when a predetermined amount of separating force is applied either between theglide pad 80 and thecleaning head 20 or to arelease section 140 of the glide pad 80 (FIGS. 5 and 6 ). - The cleaning head attachment means 90 may be further adapted for selective releasable attachment to a storage plate 95 (
FIG. 1 ) of the cleaning implement 10, thestorage plate 95 fixed to theelongated handle 110, for example. Thestorage plate 95 may include apertures 96 or notches (not shown) aligned with the cleaning head attachment means 90 of theglide pad 80 so as to provide a means for holding theglide pad 80 in a stowed position 150 on the cleaning implement 10 while not in use on the high-frictionhorizontal floor surface 17. - The attachment means 90 preferably does not require a user to make contact with the
bottom surface 34 of thecleaning head 20 directly, or with thetop surface 86 of theglide pad 80 after removing theglide pad 80 from thecleaning head 20, assuch surfaces - The
bottom surface 84 of theglide pad 80 includes a low-friction surface 100 for sliding on the high-frictionhorizontal floor surface 17, such as a rigid plastic surface. As such, theglide pad 80 may be injection molded out of a suitably rigid plastic material, such as ABS plastic, or the like. Preferably theglide pad 80 overhangs thebottom surface 34 of thecleaning head 20 when attached thereto (FIG. 2 ). - In use, with a
distal end 114 of anelongated handle 110 fixed to the handle attachment means 40, thecleaning head 20 may be used to clean the low-frictionhorizontal floor surface 16, while one of the at least onewings 50 may be used to clean thevertical surface 15 adjacent thereto. With theglide pad 80 fixed around substantially theentire bottom surface 34 of thecleaning head 20, which facilitating moving the cleaning implement 10 over the high-frictionhorizontal floor surface 16, one of the at least onewings 50 may be used to clean thevertical surface 15 adjacent thereto. - In one embodiment of the invention, the
cleaning head 20 andwings 50 form a mop head 21 that further includes at least onescrubbing implement 160, such as a sponge, as thebottom surface 34 of thecleaning head 20 and, optionally, thebottom surface 54 of eachwing 50. Further, thewings 50 may include a release button (not shown) that allows the user to release thewings 50 from thecleaning head 20 by stepping thereon, similar in operation to therelease section 140 of the glide pad 80 (FIGS. 5 and 6 ). - In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the
cleaning head 20 is a vacuum attachment 170, and the handle attachment means 40 is a conduit 180 having a vacuum attachment means 190 (FIG. 7 ). In such an embodiment thebottom surfaces cleaning head 20 and eachwing 50 are in fluid communication with the conduit 180, such that a vacuum hose 200 of a vacuum cleaner 210 may be inserted and retained therein. As such, the high-friction floor surface 16 may be vacuumed with theglide pad 80 in the stowed position 150. With theglide pad 80 fixed around the bottom of the vacuum attachment 170, thefloor surface 16 is not vacuumed and eachwing 50 may be used to clean thevertical surface 15. - While a particular form of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, various shapes of cleaning heads and glide pads may be utilized with the invention. Further, the type of cleaning head attachment means 90 may vary based on the shape or characteristics of the cleaning head. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited, except as by the appended claims.
