Abstract: A cleaning article optionally removably attachable to a handle and comprising tow fibers and at least one sheet joined together in a layered construction. The cleaning article is generally planar. The sheet is elastically contracted. The sheet may be elastically contracted by heat shrinkable material, by elastic strands and/or may be elastomeric. This arrangement allows the sheet to entangle and thereby fluff the tow fibers. Such fluffing is believed to improve cleaning performance.

Abstract: “Crank and Roll” a 5 in 1 mop is disclosed. The “Crank and Roll” can accomplish all five (5) tasks independently of the need for buckets and wringers or wax and duster applications.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an air-injection type tool for scrubbing off the dirt on a body including: an air-retaining body 2 formed of an elastic material expandable in an air-injection manner, the air-retaining body 2 having a scrubbing towel 40 encompassed on the external surface thereof; a disc-like support body 4 disposed at the inside of the air-retaining body 2 and having a cylindrical coupling protrusion 6 formed at the top central portion thereof, the cylindrical coupling protrusion 6 having a piston A reciprocated therein such that the air generated by the reciprocating motion of the piston A is sent to the air-retaining body 2; and a cover body 12 adapted to be pressurized by a handle 18 screw-coupled with the coupling protrusion 6 of the support body 4 thus to come into close contact with the support body 4 such that the air-retaining body 2 is kept airtight.

Abstract: A device that can be used to spread a thin, even coating of liquid material on a surface is provided. In one embodiment the device is adapted to be used to apply floor coating on a floor surface. The device is configured such that the applicator portion of the device applies a generally constant contact force on the surface, even when the force applied by the user on the tool varies.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an air-injection type tool for scrubbing off the dirt on a body including: an air-retaining body 2 formed of an elastic material expandable in an air-injection manner, the air-retaining body 2 having a scrubbing towel 40 encompassed on the external surface thereof; a disc-like support body 4 disposed at the inside of the air-retaining body 2 and having a cylindrical coupling protrusion 6 formed at the top central portion thereof, the cylindrical coupling protrusion 6 having a piston A reciprocated therein such that the air generated by the reciprocating motion of the piston A is sent to the air-retaining body 2; and a cover body 12 adapted to be pressurized by a handle 18 screw-coupled with the coupling protrusion 6 of the support body 4 thus to come into close contact with the support body 4 such that the air-retaining body 2 is kept airtight.

Abstract: A cleaning device for spherical-shaped covers for light fixtures and security cameras. The device has a plurality of flexible blades with an expandable cleaning pad attached to the tips of the blades. As the device is pushed onto a spherical dome cover, the blades flex outward permitting the pad to expand to the farthest end of the exposed dome. The device is rotated thereby rotating the cleaning pad and in the process, wiping the cover clean.

Abstract: The invention provides a mop for mop pads with pockets having an articulated mop base with elements centrally connected to a handle by means of a hinge joint, a mop pad with pockets, and a clamping device provided near the free end of a first element, with the mouth of the clamping device directed towards the free end, and an extension provided at a second element and being placed on top of the lever of the clamping device when the mop base has a planar shape.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anchoring device for the covering (9) of a fabric boom on its associated support, which provides for extraction of the totality of the piece of fabric (9), including its extremities. This extraction, accomplished by means of a roller extractor, is made possible by providing anchor studs (14) having an underlying recess and extending from the upper surface of the support (1-3), through the use of articulated lever-shaped connecting grips (5) on support (1-3) having an arm that exerts pressure on appendages (15) of the piece of fabric (9) without interfering with the heads of anchor studs (14), and lateral shoulders (13) on support (1-3) configured in such a way that they define between them a determinate space from which neither anchor studs (14) nor connecting grips (5) emerge.

Abstract: An apparatus to expedite washing, drying and treatment of the skin between toes, having two resilient flexible arms attached to a handle, with sleeves of appropriate materials that can be easily secured on said apparatus.

Abstract: A cleaning cloth for stretching onto a wiper frame intended for such a cleaning cloth, with pockets for receiving the opposite stretching bow ends (S), and is distinguished by a bead or stiff edge (18) which extends along the longitudinal sides of the cleaning cloth and lies to the outside relative to a seam (16) parallel to the cloth, and by a bead (20) which lies to the inside relative to the seam (16), said seam (16) forming a sort of tilting articulation for the stiffening (18; 20) consisting of the two beads.

Abstract: Attachment for an oscillating sander to facilitate sanding convex surfaces. A rigid U-shaped frame carries an elastic strap to which an inelastic abrasive sheet is adhered. The abrasive sheet has a contact adhesive thereon which is capable of adhering to, releasing from, and re-adhering to the elastic strap as the sheet is oscillated over a work surface.

Abstract: A manual grinding or polishing tool consists of an endless grinding or polishing belt, which is tightened about a substantially flat bar-like profile having at least one limb. The limb or limbs are disposed resiliently in relation to the profile, so that the grinding or polishing belt is held under tension. The resilient material can consist of strip steel or elastomers. Between the grinding or polishing belt and the tool body a resilient intermediate layer can be disposed in the form of an endless belt.

Abstract: A bowling lane cleaning apparatus serving as a lane duster, including a rigid frame having a transversely disposed spacer bar with a foam padded bar disposed beneath the spacer bar. The padded bar works in conjunction with cloth roller bars to provide adequate wide area exposure of cloth fabric to the bowling lane surface.

Abstract: An improved sanding block is disclosed for receiving and tensioning a continuous or endless sandpaper or other abrasive wrap-around belt about the sanding block's periphery. The block effectively uses two parts, so shaped that when assembled within an endless abrasive belt, they provide a wedging action which effectively elongates or expands the periphery of the tool to properly tension the belt.
