  • Patent number: 9643634
    Abstract: A cleaning cart has a basic body, wherein the lateral extent of the basic body is bounded by an outer circumferential boundary surface or boundary line, and wherein the basic body bears at least one module which is coupleable to the basic body, is configured such that cleaning cart can bear a multiplicity of modules of different size while having a very compact and space-saving design, in that the module is assigned to the basic body in such a positive, frictional and/or non-positive manner preventing tilting that the base region of the module projects at least on one side beyond the boundary surface or boundary line of the basic body.

  • Publication number: 20160242615
    Abstract: An adapter for attaching a cleaning head to a mop handle of a mop. The adapter is substantially channel-shaped and includes two side webs and one connecting web interconnecting the side webs. The adapter is formed so as to be open towards the cleaning head to be received. The connecting web has an inner side which faces the cleaning head to be received and forms a stop face for the cleaning head. Each of the side webs comprises at least one latching projection formed so as to be resiliently flexible transversely to a longitudinal direction of the adapter. The latching projections are movable towards and away from each other in the manner of a clamp and are configured to be releasably snapped behind latching lugs on the cleaning head in a non-destructive manner.

  • Publication number: 20160242616
    Abstract: A cleaning head for a mop comprising a clamping strip and a cleaning body. The cleaning body fits in the clamping strip. The clamping strip is channel shaped and open towards the cleaning body and having two side walls and one connecting element connecting the side walls to each other. The connecting element has an inner side which faces the cleaning body and an outer side which faces away from the cleaning body. The clamping strip has a connecting region to connect the clamping strip to a mop adapter which accommodates the cleaning head. The connecting region has a stop which acts in an axial direction of a handle of the mop and is configured to be placed on a counter stop on the adapter. The stop is disposed in an imaginary plane extending parallel to the connecting strip. An attachment mechanism is in the imaginary plane.
