Abstract: A cleaning apparatus having a cleaning member movably arranged at a housing, the cleaning member having a cleaning portion for engaging a surface to be cleaned; a handle member connects with and is resiliently movable between a raised position and a lower position so that when the handle member is arranged at the raised position, a resilient member operably connecting the handle member with the housing is substantially compressed thereby applying a pressing force onto the cleaning member towards the surface to be cleaned.

Abstract: A portable misting fan in which the user controls the spray mist and the fan operation separately. A lower compartment stores a fluid and a pump provides the pressure to propel the fluid through a delivery tube to a spray nozzle. The flow of fluid to the nozzle is controlled by a valve that is operated by the user pushing a button. An upper compartment houses a fan which is powered by batteries and provides an air stream that is directed to the user. The fan is mounted in a fan housing in the upper compartment that is pivotally connected to the upper housing. There axe passageways in the fan housing and pivot connection for receiving the fluid delivery tube and electrical wires so that all they are all internal to the misting fan.

Abstract: A handheld floor sweeper having a debris receiving compartment in the sweeper body having a bottom tray that is pivotally connected to the sweeper body. A latching mechanism that is operated by the user pushing a release lever allows the bottom tray to pivot to an open position to discharge debris collected in the compartment without the user having to contact the debris. The tray is pushed back to the closed position by the user after the debris is discharged where the tray is once again latched in the closed position.

Abstract: A floor mop for cleaning a surface by wet mopping in which the mop has a spray nozzle mounted in the mop head. There is a handle connected to the mop head by a universal joint. A cloth is removably mounted on the under surface of the mop head for easy replacement when it is soiled or worn out. A fluid tank is mounted in the mop head. A pump is connected to the fluid tank. A wireless signal generator is mounted on the handle for sending a wireless signal to a receiver in the mop head for activating the pump for spraying fluid onto the surface to effect wet mopping when the wireless signal is received.

Abstract: A collapsible hanger has a pair of hanger arms for supporting an article of clothing. Each arm has a proximal end pivotally mounted on a frame. A gear mechanism engages gear teeth on the proximal end of the arms and causes the arms to simultaneously rotate between a raised position to a lowered position. A locking mechanism locks the arms in the raised position and when the locking mechanism is released, allows the arms to drop down to a collapsed position, releasing the article of clothing.

Abstract: A light weight floor sweeper having a very low profile sweeper head that uses a sweeping brush and cleaning pad to slide across the surface to be cleaned. The floor sweeper head is mounted to an elongated handle by means of a universal pivot or universal joint which allows the floor sweeper head to easily pivot about the handle in any direction to pick up debris under over hanging cabinets or under furniture. A sweeping brush is mounted on the bottom of the sweeper head to provide sweeping action as the floor sweeper is moved in any direction. Furthermore there is a soft cleaning pad releasably mounted adjacent to the brush to entrap dust and particles that the brush does not pick up. The brush is powered by a small electric motor. A removable dust-receiving tray is mounted in the sweeper head to receive debris swept by the brush.

Abstract: A hand held mop, broom or scrubber device in which the cleaning head has two cleaning elements. In one embodiment, a self-wringing mop having an elongated handle with a rigid base frame assembly is attached to the bottom end. The base frame has opposite planar surfaces with a sponge element on one of the surfaces and a scrubbing element on the opposite surface. The base frame is pivotally connected to the bottom of the elongated handle such that it pivots between two positions; a first position with the sponge oriented on the floor and a second position in which the scrubbing element is positioned on the floor. An actuator mounted on the lower half of the handle has a roller mechanism and a spaced force opposing member mounted on an end thereof. When the sponge element is saturated, the user slides the actuator towards the bottom of the elongated handle. This causes the base frame assembly to pivot to an intermediary sponge wringing position and the sponge element is drawn past the roller mechanism.
