Abstract: A mop has a shaft, a housing at a distal end of the shaft, a sponge movably coupled to the housing, and a pair of rollers. The pair of rollers are movably mounted to the housing spaced apart from each other and straddle at least a portion of the sponge. The mop also comprises an actuator configure to move the sponge between the rollers from a retracted position to a deployed position. At least one scrubbing element is disposed on at least one of the rollers, the scrubbing element configured to automatically move into a deployed position as the sponge is moved into the retracted position, the scrubbing element also configured to automatically move into a retracted position as the sponge is moved into the deployed position.

Abstract: A mop has an elongated shaft, a body at a distal end of the shaft, a sponge operably coupled to the body and generally orthogonal to the elongated shaft, and a pair of rollers. The pair or rollers are movably mounted to the body and generally orthogonal to the elongated shaft. The pair of rollers are also spaced apart from each other and straddle at least a portion of the sponge. The mop also comprises an actuator configure to move the sponge between the rollers from a retracted position to a deployed position. At least one scrubbing element is disposed on at least one of the rollers, the scrubbing element configured to move into a deployed position when the sponge is moved into the retracted position, the scrubbing element also configured to move into a retracted position when the sponge is moved into the deployed position.

Abstract: A business card dispenser comprising a main casing and a sliding tray installed in the main casing in a slidable fashion with a business card(s) placed thereon. The sliding tray is pushed by hand in one direction, thus bending the business card(s) to form an arc so that one business card can be removed, and then the sliding tray is moved back in another (opposite) direction to its original position by an elastic force which is produced by the straightening business card, thus dispensing one card at a time quickly.

Abstract: A cleaning kit for magnetic tape type sound reproducing equipment is disclosed as including a rectangularly shaped receptacle for receiving and storing cleaning tools. The size of the box is such that the kit can be conveniently stored along with or in the space normally provided for tape cassette boxes of a conventional size. In its preferred embodiment, the receptacle includes a base member injection molded from opaque plastic and a cover which is also injection molded from clear plastic and pivotally connected to the base member for movement between open and closed positions. A tool rack on the base member secures the tools which comprise a brush, an elongated probe holder, and a mirror. A compartment of the cover receives a bag of cleaning probes and a bottle of cleaning fluid for use in cleaning magnetic tape type sound reproducing equipment in cooperation with the tools.
