Abstract: An anti-itch composition in the form of a gelatinous or semi-solid dish soap base for providing instant relief from poison ivy-induced itching, redness, soreness, and swelling. The composition is novel, easy-to-use, and includes both natural and synthetic components for cleansing, antimicrobial protection, and skin conditioning. In one embodiment, the anti-itch composition comprises a solution of water, a plurality of surfactants, a pH adjuster, a fragrance, a chelating agent, a plurality of antimicrobial agents, and a colorant. The formulation rapidly dries within 1-3 minutes of application, forming a thin protective layer on the skin to reduce irritation and inflammation while preventing secondary infections. The composition can be topically applied to affected body areas by users of all genders and ages, and offers a safe, effective, and convenient alternative to traditional medication-based treatments for poison ivy rashes.

Abstract: A mop system includes a flat mop holder to hold a mop cover in a first state and to release the mop cover in a second state, and which comprises an actuating kinematic system for causing a change from the first state to the second state. A mop handle is connected at a first end to the flat mop holder, and an actuating member is arranged opposite to the first end on the mop handle. At least one cable pull is adapted and arranged to transmit an activating force and/or movement from the actuating member to the actuating kinematic system. A plurality of mop handle sections are telescopically adjustable relative to one another, wherein the cable pull includes a length compensation device to variably adjust the cable pull corresponding to a telescopic position of the mop handle sections.

Abstract: A mop holder for a mop system for cleaning clean rooms, arranged and adapted to releasably hold a mop cover, wherein the mop holder comprises an aramid fiber-reinforced and/or carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. In at least one embodiment, the mop holder comprises at least one holding wing that has a longitudinal rib which is curved towards an upper side of the mop holder, and the longitudinal rib extends from a flat section to the upper side.

Abstract: In a flat mop cover with an active side to be directed onto a surface to be cleaned and opposite thereto a rear side, transverse edges opposite one another and longitudinal edges opposite one another, wherein the longitudinal edges are longer than the transverse edges and wherein the flat mop cover has on the rear side at least two pockets opposite one another in the transverse direction for receiving a flat mop holder, which extend along the opposite longitudinal edges, it is provided that at least one of the pockets is divided by at least one bar into at least two sections, wherein the bar is adapted and arranged for fixing a predetermined position of the flat mop cover on the flat mop holder.

Abstract: A wetting device for flat mops includes a mechanical elevator that contains a contact structure, brackets, and plastic slide bars. The brackets lift the transfer plate away from the lower end of the wetting device if the contact structure is pressed towards the lower end. Each bracket is connected to at least one plastic side bar. The plastic slide bars move apart from each other when the transfer plate lifts away from the lower end. The transfer plate lies upon the plastic slide bars during movement of the plastic slide bars apart from each other. Each plastic slide bar has a length that is at least five times larger than its maximum width and is detachable from its corresponding bracket. The contact structure is a flat metal framework of connected struts. Also disclosed is a cleaning trolley with the wetting device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wetting device (1) for flat mops, wherein a mechanical elevator (5) contains a contact structure (6) and brackets (7a, 7b), wherein the brackets (7a, 7b) lift the transfer plate (4) away from the lower end (35), if the contact structure (6) is pressed towards the lower end (35). The invention also relates to a cleaning trolley (40) with said wetting device (1).

Abstract: A dresser to be mounted on a grinding machine uses a ring-shaped dressing wheel approximately coaxially mounted with the workpiece axis around the tailstock to position the dresser contact region between the grinding wheel axis and the workpiece axis on the same side of the grinding wheel as the workpiece. Errors in the final size of the grinding wheel after being dressed due to thermal expansion and contraction of the grinding machine are reduced or eliminated. The dresser is angularly adjustable to accommodate the pitch angle of the grinding wheel during thread grinding operations.
