Patent number: 10932646Abstract: A multi-purpose cleaning device is provided that can be used with multiple different types of cleaning attachments. The cleaning device includes a handle that is attachable to a socket device that includes several claw members. The claw members have interior portions that are contoured so that the space between the claw members forms a sphere-shaped socket. The cleaning attachments preferably include a ball portion that can be securely mated within the sphere-shaped socket. When the user prefers three degrees of freedom for the attachment, the ball has impeded rotation within the socket. When the user prefers one degree of freedom for the attachment, the ball also includes a rod or post that can releasably lock the ball to the socket.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Rubbermaid Commercial Products LLCInventors: Jace Weaver, David Wilusz

Patent number: 9681789Abstract: The present invention relates to a floor mop with a handle and mop head having a base, handle connector, and scrubbing mechanism. The base may include a platen and cleaning pad and is connected to the mop handle through the handle connector. The base may also include an opening for holding the handle connector and scrubbing mechanism. The handle connector houses the components of the scrubbing mechanism, including a scrubbing pad, axle, slide and spring. The scrubbing pad is located on the lower surface of the handle connector. The axle is connected to the base of the mop head and to the slide so that when sufficient downward force is applied to compress the spring, the scrubbing pad moves downward relative to the lower surface of the handle connector so that the scrubbing pad engages the cleaning surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Quickie Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Jace Weaver, David Wilusz

Publication number: 20170156562Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid roller mop having a handle, a mop head with a slot defined therein, a cleaning member and a lever mechanism. The mop head can be connected to the handle at one end and have rollers connected at the other end and spaced by the slot defined in the mop head. The cleaning member and lever mechanism can be connected together by a linkage disposed in the mop handle. The lever mechanism can be configured for raising and lowering the cleaning member between the rollers and into the slot of the mop head in order to wring out excess liquid from the mop. The cleaning member can have a generally inverted āVā shape that can lie flat against a floor or similar surface and can be folded into a compressed position when pulled between the rollers and into the slot of the mop head.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2016Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Michael A. Schiavo, Jace Weaver, Ryan Sheckels

Patent number: 9655492Abstract: The present invention relates to a dust pan with a handle generally centrally located within the footprint of the dust pan. The handle extends toward the center of gravity of the dust pan to better distribute the weight of the payload during transportation between loading and unloading locations. The dust pan may also incorporate side handles on the upper surface of opposing side walls to provide for enhanced two-handed carrying of heavy loads.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Quickie Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Michael A. Schiavo, Jace Weaver

Patent number: 8640296Abstract: A cleaning tool is provided and includes a cleaning head moveable between a plurality of configurations. The cleaning head may include a main panel, a handle coupled to the main panel via a universal joint, a first side panel pivotally coupled to a first edge of the main panel, and a second side panel pivotally coupled to a second edge of the main panel opposite the first edge. The cleaning tool may also include two biasing members for biasing the first and second panels toward a flat position and at least one ramp member engageable with a surface to pivot at least one of the first and second side panels upward out of its flat position toward an upward pivoted position. The cleaning tool may further include an actuator for pivoting one or more of the side panels between flat and upward pivoted positions, and a selectively deployable scrubber.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Quickie Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Jace A.

Publication number: 20120279989Abstract: A fluid dispensing assembly for use with mop-like devices. The assembly adapts to mop-like devices and utilizes a collapsible fluid reservoir pouch preferably contained within a substantially rigid housing. The collapsible fluid reservoir pouch permits fluid dispensing without need for venting. The assembly preferably utilizes one or the other of a fluid conducting needle and a venting needle found in a fluid disbursement fitment of commercially available mop-like devices, but the needles are not used to puncture membranes in a fluid reservoir. Rather, they provide mechanical force to actuate a valve that is used to permit flow of fluid from the fluid reservoir to the fluid disbursement fitment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2012Publication date: November 8, 2012Applicant: QUICKIE MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: David R. Schiff, Mathieu D. Turpault, James S. Mandle, Jace A. Weaver, David Philip Birnbaum, Alex Sinton
