Problems solved by technology

Rocking back and forth and tilting makes the mop unstable during use
Also, frequent rocking and tilting can cause dust, debris and hair trapped in raised parts of the cleaning surface to fall from the cleaning surface

Embodiment Construction

[0022] figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of cleaning implement 100 . figure 2 is a top view, and image 3 yes figure 1 Bottom view of cleaning tool 100 in FIG. In one embodiment, a cleaning substrate 150 is applied to the cleaning tool 100 to be a cleaning surface that can be removed when cleaning is complete, such as figure 1 shown.

[0023] The cleaning tool 100 includes a mop head 160 having a perimeter 190, a working surface 164 facing the surface to be cleaned ( image 3 ) and the back surface 162 opposite to the working surface 164 ( figure 2 ). In the illustrated embodiment, the mop head 160 also includes a side 166 (see figure 1 and Figure 4 ). Side 166 is generally planar and provides a surface for sliding adjacent a vertical surface to be cleaned. For example, side 166 may slide adjacent to the floor to clean and remove dust, lint or debris from the floor. The cleaning tool 100 may optionally include a support frame 130 secured to the bac...

Abstract

A floor cleaning tool is disclosed. The floor cleaning tool comprises a mop head including a perimeter, a working surface and back surface, opposite the working surface. The working surface includes a contact surface and a recessed surface. The contact surface is on a portion of the working surface for making contact with the surface to be cleaned. The contact surface includes a first capturing edge and a second capturing edge. The recessed surface is on a portion of the working surface and includes a first side surface recessed from the first capturing edge of the contact surface and a second side surface recessed from the second capturing edge of the contact surface. The entire contact surface is nonlinear.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cleaning implements. In particular, the present invention relates to a cleaning implement having a working surface having a portion contacting a surface to be cleaned and a portion recessed from the surface to be cleaned. Background technique [0002] There are several types of mops for cleaning floors. One type of mop for cleaning floors includes a mop head and a wet or dry cleaning cloth applied to the mop head and discarded after cleaning. These types of mops typically include a flat cleaning surface that contacts the ground. For mops that have a flat cleaning surface that touches the ground, the leading edge of the flat cleaning surface becomes loaded with dust, debris and hair. Excess dust, debris and hair are simply pushed around by the mop and are not adequately retained and captured by the mop's cleaning surface. Excess dust, debris and hair may break off during the cleaning process or, more commonly, they w...
