  • Publication number: 20090158544
    Abstract: An implement for manual washing of floors or flat surfaces in general, comprising a frame composed of at least one first plate-like element which defines with one of its faces, designed to be directed toward the surface to be washed, a first application region for a first cleaning fringe. The frame comprises a second plate-like element which is laterally adjacent to the first plate-like element and defines, with its face designed to be directed toward the surface to be washed, a second application region for a second cleaning fringe. The second plate-like element can move with respect to the first plate-like element in order to pass from an active position to an inactive position.

  • Patent number: 5175904
    Abstract: The wringing device in particular for fringed strips for cleaning floors, comprises a frame which oscillatably supports about a main axis, a supporting element for a roller. The roller can rotate with respect to the supporting element about its own axis which is arranged parallel to the main axis. The frame is provided with a wall which faces the roller and is shaped like a portion of a cylindrical surface having an axis which substantially coincides with the main axis. An actuator acts on the supporting element to oscillate it about the main axis, with consequent sliding of the roller along the wall to wring a fringed strip interposed between the roller and the wall.
