  • Patent number: 6305042
    Abstract: A cleaning device having a cleaning head and an absorbent head is provided. The cleaning head is operable to clean a surface, and the absorbent head is operable to remove residual liquid remaining on the surface being cleaned. The cleaning head is attached to the distal end of a handle and is pivotally connected to the absorbent head. An actuator on the handle is displaceable in two positions to control the position of the cleaning head and absorbent head. In a first position, the cleaning head extends from the handle to clean the surface while the absorbent head is retracted. In a second position, the cleaning head is wrung while the absorbent head is pivoted to an extended position to absorb residual liquid on the cleaning surface.

  • Patent number: 5655248
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided for cleaning surfaces such as glass. A roller wringer mop having a sponge head uses cleaning fluid to clean a surface. To wring the cleaning fluid from the sponge head, an operator displaces the sponge head between two parallel roller segments. A wiper connected to the mop head wipes residual cleaning fluid from the surface that has been cleaned, and is connected to the mop head so as to avoid interfering with the wringing action of the sponge head.
