The strip is longitudinally twisted to define a hollow tube having between approximately 0.01-0.95 turns per inch. At least one helical gap is defined between the opposing longitudinal edges of the hollow tube. The opposing longitudinal edges have self-fused edge regions. The hollow tube has self-fused longitudinally-extending regions between its opposing longitudinal edges. | 09-18-2014 |
20140317868 | MOPPING DEVICE - A mopping device includes a mopping portion, a fluid release device for releasing fluid to at least one of a surface to be mopped and the mopping portion, a handle configured to be gripped by a user to control the mopping portion, and a reservoir for storing fluid. The reservoir can include an expandable bladder. The reservoir also can be configured such that air need not be evacuated from the reservoir during tilling of the reservoir. The mopping device also can be part of a mopping system, in which a refill reservoir is provided to refill the reservoir of the mopping device. | 10-30-2014 |
20140345075 | LEVER-TYPE MOP AND BUCKET FOR THE SAME - A lever-type mop has a base, a cleaning unit, a connecting seat and a rod. The cleaning unit is attached on the bottom of the base. The rod is connected pivotally to the base through the connecting seat. The base has notches and the rod has a corresponding limiting protrusion. A bucket operated in coordination with the lever-type mop has an inclined surface and a straining board mounted under the inclined surface. When straining the cleaning unit, the base and the cleaning unit are put on the straining board and the rod is pivoted downward. With the abutting forces from the limiting protrusion and the inclined surface on opposite sides, the cleaning unit is squeezed. Therefore, the mop and the bucket have simple structures to achieve the purpose of squeezing the cleaning unit without touching the cleaning unit directly by the user's hand. | 11-27-2014 |
20140359960 | ALL SURFACE CLEANROOM MOP - A cleanroom mop for cleaning all critical surfaces within a cleanroom. The cleanroom mop includes a mop head frame with at least one hollow area within the mop head frame that is accessible by at least one opening located on the top of the mop head frame, a handle attached to the mop head frame, and a mop head that is attachable to the mop head frame which has opposing sides and at least one snap fastener on each of the opposing sides where the snap fasteners can be snapped together to connect the opposing sides of the mop head. | 12-11-2014 |
20150033490 | Cleaning System Incorporating Stitch Bonded Cleaning Pad With Multi-Filament Stitches - A cleaning pad structure of stitch bonded construction incorporating one or more substrate layers of an absorbent nonwoven material with an optional additional fluid blocking substrate layer of polymer film or other suitable material in juxtaposed relation to the absorbent nonwoven layers. Stitching yarns are introduced in stitching relation through the substrate layers. One face of the pad defines a cleaning surface of raised yarn loops formed by the stitched yarns. The pad further includes an attachment surface facing away from the cleaning surface. The stitches of yarns across the attachment surface define an engagement surface for attachment to cooperating hooking elements across a surface of a mop head to define a hook and loop attachment system. | 02-05-2015 |
20150082570 | FLEXIBLE SCRUBBING HEAD FOR A FLOOR MOP - A mop having a handle and a base plate. The base plate has a lower surface configured to lie on a surface to be cleaned, and extends in a plane defined by a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to the lateral direction. The base plate is elongated in the lateral direction and includes a rigid central region that is connected to the handle, a flexing region, and a stepping region. The flexing region is made with an elastomeric material, and is connected at an inboard edge to a lateral end of the central region and extends to an outboard edge. The stepping region is connected to the outboard edge of the flexing region, and includes a generally flat upper surface configured to be stepped on by a user's foot. | 03-26-2015 |
20150082571 | DEVICE COMPRISING A CLEANING HEAD AND A SYSTEM FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN TWO SURFACES - Device for cleaning a surface, particularly a floor, comprising:
| 03-26-2015 |
20150101140 | Infinity Mop - The Infinity Mop is a mop that uses a set length of rolled cleaning fabric material which is attached to one side of the mop head, then passes underneath the bottom of the mop surface area and onto the opposite side of the mop head. As the cleaning surface area of the cleaning material becomes dirty, the soiled area can be advanced manually or electronically to the back compartment of the mop, while the sheet of clean fabric material is advanced onto the bottom cleaning surface area of the mop at the same time. This process is repeated until the end of the pre-rolled cleaning sheet is used up and a new cleaning roll is inserted into the mop. | 04-16-2015 |
20150128371 | MOP BASE FITTED WITH A HINGED ROTATION LIMITER - The invention concerns a device attached to a mop base that facilitates its use on a wall, limiting its possible angular travel with respect to the handle and arranging it for a correct approach to and positioning against a vertical wall. | 05-14-2015 |
20160007820 | LAMINATED FLAT MOPHEAD | 01-14-2016 |
20160015236 | MOP AND MOP HEAD ATTACHMENT - A pad mop with a mop handle, a mop head and a mop pad. The mop head or a mop head attachment includes a cleaning material holder for holding cleaning material dispensed around the mop head. The mop head attachment includes a casing open at both ends and configured to fit around the mop head and pad. Alternatively the mop head attachment includes a flat casing with a hole in the middle to slip over a mop handle and/or a U-joint and attach to the top of the mop head. The cleaning material holder can be formed as a recess in a bumper extending from the casing. A roll of cleaning material with perforations dividing the material into individual sheets includes slits for engaging posts or one or more elongate teeth on one or more opposing sides of the casing. | 01-21-2016 |
20160083874 | WOVEN FABRIC FOR MOP CLOTH - A woven fabric for a mop cloth contains: at least one wrap yarn broadwise woven by a plurality of fibers, plural first fiber yarns, and plural second fiber yarns. Each second fiber yarn is a textured yarn, and each first fiber yarn is a grey yarn. A length of each first fiber yarn is equal to or is more than that of each second fiber yarn, such that two thread ends of each first fiber yarn extends out two sides of each at least one wrap yarn. Thereby, the woven fabric contains a single material or plural materials (such as the grey yarn with a predetermined hardness and the textured yarn with a predetermined flexibility) to absorb fluids and to scrape objects on the floor, thus enhancing cleaning capacity. | 03-24-2016 |
