Patent number: 8056178Abstract: Some aspects of the present invention are related to a mop and/or mop head that allows larger debris to pass over at least a portion of the mop head and into a receptacle of the mop head. In some embodiments, the mop head and the receptacle are integrally formed. The mop has debris collecting material coupled to the mop head to collect dust, dirt, and other relatively small debris as the mop moves over a floor. In one particular embodiment, the debris collecting material is a non-woven material. The debris collecting material of the mop can be connected to the mop many different ways. However, in some embodiments, the material is connected via several projections extending from a top surface of the mop head. The projections pass through apertures in the dust collecting material.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2006Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Haim Bar-Noy, Jay Hutchison, James M. Scolaro, Glenn N. Weaver, Ronald R. Dir

Patent number: 7832888Abstract: A method of displaying and merchandising a product that that provides customer interaction and product synchronization is disclosed. The method provides a product display that may include an upright display member having an illuminating member and lighting niches through which dynamic light shows may be projected. A product may be positioned in a lighting niche. A product experience shelf may also be coupled to the upright display member. The product experience shelf may include translucent recesses for holding and illuminating products and or samples of products. The product experience shelf may also incorporate an illuminated ring or border lining the outer edge of each recess for additional lighting effects. The method also provides an interactive customer interface that allows customers to adjust a control module which coordinates synchronized dynamic light shows throughout the display. The customer interface may also be illuminated and positioned on the product experience shelf.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: S.C.
