  • Patent number: 11197598
    Abstract: A handle-storable sponge mop with scrubber for use at a handle end of a broom handle. The sponge mop includes a sponge body, a scrubber pad, and a sponge head. The sponge body includes a working channel extending longitudinally through the sponge body, and a storage channel extending across through the sponge body, each channel configured to receive the handle end of a broom handle. The sponge mop also includes a scrubber pad shaped to match both the cross-sectional shape of the sponge body and the sponge head. The scrubber pad is attached to the sponge body, and the sponge head is attached to the scrubber pad. The handle-storage sponge mop can be used to convert a broom to a mop. The edge of the scrubber pad can be used as needed. The sponge mop stores conveniently along a broom handle so that it's always readily available for use.

  • Patent number: 10743736
    Abstract: A handle-storable sponge mop for use at the end of a broom handle. The handle-storable sponge mop includes a sponge mop body shaped as a truncated square right prism having a leading face and a longest rectangular side which together form a leading beveled cleaning edge. A closed-end cylindrical channel extends partially into the sponge mop body perpendicularly through the square base face. The closed-end cylindrical channel receives and securely holds the handle end of the broom handle when the broom handle is fully inserted into the closed-end cylindrical channel. An open cylindrical channel extends completely through the sponge mop body, and can receive the broom handle such that the broom handle can pass through the open cylindrical channel so that the handle-storable sponge mop can be so stored on the broom handle. In some embodiments, the open cylindrical channel is in substantially perpendicular relationship with the closed-end cylindrical channel.
