Abstract: A mopping system and methods of its use are disclosed. A mop assembly includes a mop head that is adapted to be spun around a generally vertical rotational axis thereof when the mop head is fixed within a mop head spinning means of a bucket assembly. When the mop head is spun at a relatively high rate of rotational speed, water retained in the mop is forcefully dispelled from the mop by centrifugal force. The water leaves the mop and is retained within a spin chamber of the bucket assembly. A drain plunger is included to allow the collected water to be drained from the bucket assembly. An ozone generator may be included for introducing ozone gas into the collected fouled water in the spin chamber. A clean water tank with a pump and spraying means, mounted within the spin chamber just below the mop head when the mop head is engaged with the mop head spinning means, is preferably included to allow introduction of clean water to the moping surface of the mop head.

Abstract: A convertible chair is disclosed that has pivotable side cushions for pivoting between a lowered position and a raised position. A frame includes a generally horizontal seat, as well as a pair of pivot supports each fixed to a respective side of the seat. Two sets of bars are included, each bar being pivotably supported at one end thereof to one of the pivot supports and pivotably supported thereby. Each set of bars are fixed to and support one of the side cushions. In the lowered position the side cushions each provide additional seating area, whereas in the raised position an outer edge of the each cushion may be used as an armrest for a person sitting in the chair.

Abstract: A weed extraction tool is disclosed, comprising an elongated handle, a prong assembly, and a step assembly. The prong assembly includes a rod having a plurality of prongs attached at a lower end thereof and a pivot pin holder near its center. The step assembly comprises a flat step portion at one end, a plurality of fingers at another end, and two sides near the center of and under the step assembly. An opening is formed in the top side proximate its center, and each side includes a side opening. The rod of the prong assembly is inserted through the opening in the top side of the step assembly such that a pivot pin may be inserted through one side of the step assembly, through the pivot pin holder, and through the other side of the step assembly, so as to pivotably fix the prong assembly to the step assembly. As such, the opening of the top side of the step assembly is sufficient only to allow the step assembly to pivot between closed and open positions with respect to the prong assembly.
