Definitions

  • wiping mediums As means for the cleaning of floors, stairs etc wiping mediums based on fibre structures and manipulated by a long-stalked implement to make the work posture more convenient are often used.
  • the design of the wiping medium can be varied from a more or less plain cloth to cloth tufted with yarn ends or loops of varying length and design.
  • wiping means consisting of bundles of coarse yarns too.
  • This invention concerns a cleaning implement which disregarding the long-stalked handle consists of a cloth eventually and pre ⁇ ferably tufted with yarn ends or loops and while using attached to a plane length-extended plate or wire bow.
  • the cloth will be called mop or mop yarn and the plate (wire bow) mop frame.
  • the French patent publication no 1 056 318 concerns a mop intended for wet cleaning.
  • a rubber-covered plate is furnished with a mop cover, which is kept in place by longitudinal pockets and transversal elastic belts. See page 2, column 1, 7th and 8th parts and the drawings.
  • the construction gives no elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the mop. For square mops or mops with a relatively small length/width proportions probably a relativly good attachment results. For long mops, however, this arrangement is not acceptable. Attachment respectivly detachment without the aid of the hands is not possible.
  • the American patent publication no 2 301 586 concerns a mop intended merely for dusting. It is furnished with a detachable cover kept in place by ribbons (preferably elastic) put over pins affixed to the mop frame. In an alternate way of carrying out the invention the ribbons are replaced by a pocket principally of the same design as the one according to the French publication no 731 569. In this case too it is true that attachment and detachment without the aid of the hands is not possible.
  • the mop described in the American patent publication 3 166 755 seems to be intended merely for dusting as the foam-rubber or foam-plastic cushion consisting the main part of the implement would otherwise be very unmanageable.
  • the cushion is provided with a detachable protecting cover kept in place with the aid of a pocket construction bordered with elastic ribbons. It is a matter-of-course that a cleansing implement of this kind has to be made with length/width proportions comparatively close to 1:1. The construction makes the attachment and detach- ment without the aid of both hands impossible.
  • the actual invention concerns design of mops to solve the problem of attaching them to the mop frame.
  • Characteristic of mops accor ⁇ ding to the invention is that the backing or the retaining means have been made elastic in the longitudinal direction of the mop so that attachment to the frame can be accomplished by stretching the mop.
  • the frame can be made of plastic or metal. It should be somewhat longer than the mop in its unstretched condition. The residual tension in the elastic material, which results from the attach ⁇ ment, keeps the mop firmly attached and it follows the movements of the frame very well.
  • a preferred design of the retaining means is as sewed up or in other ways attached pockets or bands.
  • Other useful designs are bows of metal or other materials or lined holes in the backing of the mop (cloth) for recieving hooks attached to the mop frame.
  • the elasticity can be achieved in several different ways. For example by making the whole mop backing (cloth) of elastic material or provide it with sewed up elastic bands. A more preferred way is to make the mop in two or more pieces or divide it transversally in two or more parts, which are afterwards joined together with the aid of elastic ribbons or belts. To avoid an untreated column while using the mop the dividing line(s) should be at an oblique angle to the longitudinal direction of the mop.
  • Another preferred method is to make one or both of the pockets at the upper side of the mop, which serve as retaining means, of an elastic material.
  • Still another method is to design the border of the mop (and eventually the pockets) as a tunnel and put an elastic ribbon or rubber band through this tunnel.
  • the elastic ribbon can be designed as an endless band or be attached at the shorter ends of the mop.
  • Fig. 1 shows a mop frame and a two-piece mop yarn provided with sewed up elastic bands for joining the two pieces together.
  • Fig. 2 shows a mop yarn provided with sewed up longitudinal elastic ribbons.
  • Fig. 3 shows a mop where the pockets at the short sides of the mop have been made of elastic material.
  • Fig. 4 shows a preferred method of attaching the mop yarn to the mop frame.
  • fig. 1 and following figures (1) stands for the mop frame. It can as shown in the figure consist of a plane long plastic plate. This is a preferred design. However, nothing stands in the way of other designs as for instance as a wire bow or similiar.
  • (2) stands for the mop with the backing (3), mop yarn loops (4) and pockets (5), (6) stands for sewed up or in other ways attached elastic materials (ribbons or belts).
  • Attaching the mop to the mop frame is conveniently carried out in the way shown in fig. 4.
  • the mop (2) is placed on the floor. One of its shorter ends is fixed by treading on it by the foot placed just outside the retaining pocket. One end of the mop frame is placed into the opposite retaining pocket (5). The mop is stretched by means of the mop frame until the other end of the frame can be placed into the pocket closest to the foot.
  • Attaching can be achieved considerably faster than with until now known combinations of mops and mop frames.
  • mops according to the invention due to the residual tension in the elastic bands will remain considerably firmer attached to the mop frame than those affixed with until now commonly used methods.
  • the possibilities of attachment are not negatively influenced by the deformations of the mop yarns that are unavoidable at a big number of repeated washes.

Abstract

La serpillière décrite (2) est destinée à être utilisée en combinaison avec un cadre de serpillière (1). Afin de pouvoir fixer et enlever rapidement la serpillière, on conçoit celle-ci ou son organe de retenue de façon à conférer à la serpillière une élasticité dans son sens longitudinal.
