  • Publication number: 20080282489
    Abstract: Defined broadly, the present invention is a dust mop cleaning head that has an internal shock absorbing cushion that compensates for the void between conventional dust mop wire frames and the irregularities of floor surfaces allowing the cleaning surface to make full contact with the floor surface. Thus allowing an industrial standard annular wire frame support housing to house thin type synthetic microfiber type materials without using a flat surface adaptor plate or flat surface cleaning support frame.

  • Patent number: 6477731
    Abstract: A mop having a self-contained wringer includes a handle, a sleeve frictionally movably disposed on the handle such that the sleeve is self supporting along a number of positions of the mop handle, a retainer member connected to an end of the handle and having a retaining surface, a mop head material having one end connected to the retaining surface of the retainer member, a twistable rubber-like generally fluted housing portion having a first end connected to the sleeve and a second end extending outwardly therefrom creating a mop head receiving surface area between a portion of the handle and an inner surface of the housing. The housing is movable along the handle by way of the sleeve in a manner to removably enclose the mop head material and enable squeezing of the mop head material by virtue of its rubber-like characteristic wherein it can twist over itself to selectively reduce the receiving surface area.

  • Patent number: 5217787
    Abstract: Material multi-faceted as to its advantageous properties and highly versatile in use and application comprises a very light, relatively thin, sheet-like structure, a layered composite of cellular and non-woven materials. Said structure is formed of layered sheets, bonded to one another, including a thin sheet of a cellular material the face(s) of which have a very thin sheet-like overlay of a non-woven permeable reinforcing material such as, preferably, rayon or nylon. The body of the cellular sheet material, preferably of plastic such as polyurethane, polyester or polyether, is characterized by innumerable extremely small, relatively minute pockets having extremely thin elastic wall portions through which fluid may readily pass to said pockets to store therein in amounts the volume of which may be a significant multiple of that originally defined by said wall portions.

  • Patent number: 4995134
    Abstract: Invention embodiments comprise two separate and distinct parts, a mop support device and a cap embodying a tubular portion defining a through passage which is tapped intermediate its ends, to enable a secure balanced connection thereof to a mop handle. In the embodiment illustrated the mop support device is comprised of a narrow elongated plate-like saddle portion one face of which mounts a plurality of parallel, relatively spaced, perpendicularly projected pins and coupling elements which project therefrom in generally the same direction as the pins. Projected portions of said coupling elements interrelate with complementary engaging elements disposed within and forming part of the cap. The mop support device is easily applied to and through a mop to establish its saddle portion and pins in underlying engaged relation to a distinct portion of the applied mop which is set within the limits of its projected coupling elements.
