Abstract: A dusting cloth structure for use with a duster includes a sleeve body whose outer surface is provided with a pile layer or a cloth strip layer and which has a receiving groove therein for receiving an external duster shank. One end of the sleeve body is formed with a sleeve opening. A portion of the sleeve body that is away from the sleeve opening is formed with a dividing portion extending toward the sleeve opening. The dividing portion defines two end grooves in the sleeve body, wherein the end grooves are divided from each other and communicate with the receiving groove. Moreover, the inner wall of the receiving groove is formed with a joint accommodating groove along the vertical direction of the surface of the sleeve body to prevent the sleeve body from coming off the shank.

Abstract: A structure for automatically rotating a spiral rod is provided. The structure allows a dusting cloth to be turned into a spiral shape along the spiral rod by rotating a rotating element, and, while the rotating element is being rotated, a torsion spring generates a restoring torque. Once the rotating element is no longer rotated, a pulling element pressing against the teeth inside the rotating element retains the rotating element and thus keeps the dusting cloth in the spiral shape. When the pulling element is subsequently pulled away from the teeth of the rotating element, the rotating element automatically rotates in the reverse direction due to the restoring torque of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A steam pad for use with a steam mop is provided. The fabric steam pad comprises at least one cleaning fabric layer, and a corresponding layer of fabric where the fabric layers are joined around the perimeter. The fabric steam pad has at least one fastener band secured to the mesh fabric in a position to correspond to at least one fastener anchored on the steam mop frame and increased structural stability of the pad to avoid buckling of the fabric at the edges. A warp knit mesh layer may be disposed on the fabric surface opposed to the cleaning surface.

Abstract: A steam mop having a main body having a boiler with a water inlet and a steam outlet positioned therein, a pump having an inlet and an outlet with the pump outlet connected to the boiler inlet, a water container for storing water connected to the pump inlet, and a steam pocket frame connected to the steam outlet, where the activation of the pump pumps water from the water container to the boiler for generation of steam. In an embodiment of the invention, a steam mop having a main body with a boiler, a water container, a mechanical water pump between the boiler and container and at least one side arm connecting the boiler steam outlet to a fabric steam pocket frame. The water pump is actuated by movement of the mop when cleaning to send water to the boiler. The steam pad frame is substantially rectangular with a plurality of baffles in a square grid formation extending outwardly to distribute steam to distribute steam between the baffles.

Abstract: A fluid absorbent tape is divided into sections that can be separated to customize the length of the tape and simplify use. In one embodiment of the invention, the fluid absorbent tape includes an absorbent material enclosed in a fluid permeable cover to form an elongated fluid absorbent tape. Separating structure formed in a transverse direction through the elongated fluid absorbent tape divides the elongated tape into a first section of fluid absorbent tape and a second section of fluid absorbent tape. The first section of fluid absorbent tape is separable from the second section of fluid absorbent tape along the separating structure. In another embodiment of the invention, the fluid absorbent tape includes a fluid absorbent material including a super absorbent polymer. An elongated fluid permeable cover having a length encloses the fluid absorbent material, and is divided into sections along the length.

Abstract: Dusting article structure including a duster body and a handle. The duster body includes layers of holding sheets, a fibrous-filament layer, and a cleaning base sheet. A lower layer of the holding sheets and the cleaning base sheet are symmetrically cut to form strip-like cleaning pieces. The filaments of the fibrous-filament layer include numerous tiny pores disposed thereon. The handle includes a grip portion and a connector portion. A coupling block is disposed on the grip portion and includes inserting posts and pivoting grooves to respectively engage with pivoting holes and a pivoting rod of the connector portion thereby. The grip portion is mounted pivotally onto the connector portion having retaining rods to be engaged with holding spaces of the thermo-fusion bonded duster body. The tiny pores disposed at the fibrous-filament layer absorb and trap small grains of dust. The grip portion of the handle may be bent for folding.

Abstract: A spiral duster includes a cleaning cloth, a handle, a bent member connected to the handle, a bent tenon connected to the bent member, and a spiral member having a neck connected to the bent tenon and a flat portion extended from the neck, wherein two studs are formed on lower portions of the lateral surfaces of the bent member respectively; the bent tenon has a cambered recess for receiving the bent member; two holes are formed on lower portions of the lateral surfaces of the cambered recess respectively for receiving the studs on the bent member; the spiral member is to be received in a pocket of the cleaning cloth; a slot is disposed under the flat portion; a bar is inserted into the slot for fixing the cleaning cloth to the spiral member; and the cleaning cloth becomes spiral by wrapping around the spiral member.

Abstract: A cleansing device includes a cleansing cloth having a base and a cover fabric layers superposed together, and a number of fibers disposed and secured between the base and the cover fabric layers. A handle is attached to the cleansing cloth to carry and operate the cleansing cloth. Each of the fabric layers may include a number of strips to partially expose the fibers. An outer fabric layer may be attached to the cover fabric layer to form one or more pockets and to receive the handle. The handle includes a fork having two arms engageable into the pocket of the cleansing cloth, and a hand grip foldably secured to the fork.

Abstract: An adapter for use with a dust mop having an annular frame pivotally coupled to a handle and including a cover for removable attachment to the frame and defining a lower surface covering a bottom surface of the frame and an upper surface defining first and second receiver portions for receiving first and second end portions of the frame.

Abstract: A unitary molded flexible elastomer floor dust mop attachment in which the flexible member is affixed at a location between the floor dust mop handle and the floor dust mop head. Through the use of the elastomeric controlled flexible member being rectangular or elongated in shape, the handle maintains rigidity in the direction in which the dust mop head is moved but is flexible in the lateral direction and therefore can be bent at controlled angles relative to the floor dust mop head. Therefore, when the floor dust mop head comes in contact with a stationary object such as the leg of a table, the floor dust mop head will flex or flow around the object without damage to the mop head or object.
