Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a cleaning implement, to be preferably used to perform operations for cleaning surfaces in general, like e.g. floors.
  • cleaning floors generally entails a first operation aimed at sweeping and collecting dust and dirt deposited thereon, and a subsequent use of a cloth, previously soaked in a water/detergent solution, mopped up into contact with the surface to be cleaned.
  • surface cleaning always requires the cooperation of at least two different devices for performing operations complementary to each other, like, with reference to the above-mentioned example, those of sweeping floors and subsequently mopping up, or employing a soaked sponge and subsequently using a squeegee, for glass cleaning operations or the like.
  • the classic implements most used to perform the above-described operations are the broom, for sweeping up dust and various dirt, and the mop (or scrub brush), i.e. a sort of broom having rigid bristles which are kept into contact with the soaked cloth and guide it along the surface to be cleaned.
  • the mop or scrub brush
  • the mop drives the cloth along the floor by means of a constant pressure, exerted thereon by a cleaning operator, said pressure having a first component along a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane containing the floor, to assure that the mop remains into contact with the cloth throughout the cleaning operation, and a second component along a direction parallel to said plane, to allow just the dragging of the cloth along the floor.
  • the well-known "electric vacuum cleaners” are currently marketed, which consist of a hollow tube having, at one end thereof, a suction mouth for sucking dust that is stored in a storage tank connected to the tube. It is power-supplied by an electric motor, which produces a negative pressure inside the vacuum cleaner, causing just the suction of external air and therefore of dusts present therein.
  • a novel type of mop has been devised, an example of which is marketed under the name of "Mocio Vileda®" (or Vileda mop®).
  • a handle that can be grasped, having at one end thereof a plurality of stripes (also called “fiocchf (tufts)) made of a material such as to carry out, when soaked with a water/detergent solution, a washing action into contact with the floor.
  • stripes also called “fiocchf (tufts)
  • operating the cleaning of surfaces involves in most cases, as specified above, the use of at least two different cleaning implements that, together, contribute to the final result.
  • Vileda®-type mop thanks to the deformability of the set of stripes, allows to reach and clean nooks and crannies otherwise unreachable by a classic cloth.
  • Figures 2A - 2B show in a side view the implement according to the present invention, in two different configurations thereof;
  • Figures 4A-4B show in a perspective view the implement according to the invention in the two different configurations thereof;
  • Figure 9 shows various views of a washing bonnet to be used together with the device according to the present invention.
  • FIGS 10-16 show variants of the implement subject of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an implement 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, described herein by way of example and not for limitative purposes.
  • the first cleaning device comprises a broom 4 at its bottom end 7, whereas the second cleaning device comprises a washing plate 8.
  • the mechanism 5, movably mounted on the handle 2, is associated with the plate 8 and configured so as to make the washing plate assume a resting position in which it is substantially retracted along the handle, as shown in Figure 2A, and a working position for washing floors, shown in Figure 2B.
  • the washing plate 8 comprising in the example shown herein by way of example and not for limitative purposes a body preferably made of polypropylene, comprises a first portion 81 and a second portion 82, opposable to each other.
  • the first and second portion 81 and 82 are made opposable to each other by interposition between them of a third portion 83, having a shape such as to exploit the flexibility of the material.
  • the mechanism 5 for moving the plate 8 comprises a first arm 51 having a first end 511 hinged to a first support 21 fixed on the handle 2, and a second end 512 connected, preferably by hinge, to the first portion 81 of the washing plate 8.
  • locking/unlocking means could be manufactured according to the most different shapes, all falling within the competence of a person skilled in the art.
  • the locking/unlocking means could comprise an elastic pushbutton system with a spring, even an integrated one, said system being positioned at the two above-mentioned portions, engaging, for locking, a receiving hole obtained into the sliding support 22.
  • An example of such locking/unlocking means is denoted in figure by reference number 221.
  • Figure 14 shows the implement according to the invention, in which the first device 4 is a standard broom, and the second cleaning device 8 is a plate (this time not foldable) covered with a microfiber cloth.
  • Figure 16 instead reports an example in which the implement 1 is equipped with squeegee 4 and covered plate 8.
  • the implement appears as a pair of devices complementary to each other, which according to the configuration of the product can, by way of example and not for limitative purposes, sweep and wash (Figure 1), wipe and mop ( Figures 10 and 13), dust and wash (Figure 12), brush and wash ( Figure 1), act as squeegee on liquids and sludge and mop up ( Figures 10 and 16) both for professional and household use.
  • the implement subject of the invention may be manufactured so that the first and the second cleaning device be connectible respectively to the handle and to the moving mechanism in a reversible manner.
  • the first and the second cleaning device be connectible respectively to the handle and to the moving mechanism in a reversible manner.
  • Figure 8 shows the detail of the first arm 51.
  • the first arm 51 comprises it also a substantially C-shaped housing 513 for receiving therein the cylindrical member of the elastic joint, so as to establish a connection therewith, according to what has been described in detail above.
  • the washing plate is advantageously configured to be able to be covered with a bonnet having microfibers on an external face thereof.
  • a bonnet having microfibers on an external face thereof.
  • An example of such a bonnet is depicted in Figure 9 and denoted by reference number 10.
  • the washing plate (8) is advantageously configured so as to be able to house a layer of rubber material apt to evenly distribute the load for cleaning and wringing.
  • first and the second cleaning device associated with the above-described implement could vary depending on the specific use required, therefore ultimately on the typology of surface to be cleaned.
  • the implement 1 in which the first cleaning device 4 comprises a squeegee, whereas the second cleaning device comprises a plate 8 onto which, bottomwise, a layer made of spongy material is obtained.
  • the implement 1 according to the invention is particularly suitable for cleaning surfaces such as glasses or the like.
  • the positioning of the plate 8 along the handle controls the closing in a book-like manner of the same plate, and therefore enables to automatically wring the sponge obtained thereon.
  • the implement 1 comprises a standard mop as first cleaning device 4 and a plate 8 covered with microfiber cloth.
  • Figure 12 shows the implement 1 in which both the first and the second cleaning device 4 and 8 comprise a cloth made of microfiber.
  • the implement 1 instead comprises, as reported in Figure 13, a squeegee
