  • Patent number: 9066646
    Abstract: A mop having a handle with a wringing frame disposed at a distal end, which defines a cam slot. An actuator lever is pivotally attached to the handle intermediate the distal and proximal ends and is coupled to an actuator linkage that extends into the internal hollow of the handle and connects to a pad plate, which supports a cleaning pad, such as a sponge thereon at the distal end of the mop. The pad plate has hinges that permit it to bend upon itself. When the actuator lever is moved to wring the cleaning pad, the actuator linkage pulls the pad plate at least partially through the cam slot, causing it to bend at the hinges and wring the cleaning pad supported thereon.

  • Publication number: 20140075704
    Abstract: A disposable liquid absorbing cleaning pad for a butterfly mop includes a layer of sponge material, a layer of flexible open cell foam material made from melamine resin fixedly attached to the layer of sponge material and attachment structure fixedly secured to the layer of sponge material for removably attaching the cleaning pad to a butterfly mop. In one embodiment of the invention the attachment structure includes a first and second plate section connected by a hinge. In using the hand held cleaning implement the layer of flexible open cell foam material made from melamine resin is the layer of the cleaning pad that contacts the surface to be cleaned.
