Embodiment Construction

[0006] Turning now to the drawings and, particularly, FIG. 1, a soap and water dispensing mop unit 14 is illustrated. The mop unit 14 includes a tubular pump piston reservoir handle assembly 21 adapted to be operatively is coupled with a forwardly extending tubular cylinder valve assembly 16. The lowermost end of 16 is operatively coupled with an obliquely oriented mop 18. In broad terms, the mop unit 14 is designed to hold a supply of water and liquid soap, and to be selectively shiftable between two positions, namely a soap dispensing position where a mixture of water and soap is pump-delivered to the mop 18, and a rinse wherein only water is pump-delivered to mop 18. The mop 18 itself is entirely conventional.

[0007] The tubular pump piston handle assembly 21 includes substantially right angle fill port 17 on tubular body 141, FIGS. 1-1. Attached adjacent to fill port 17 is a fill cap closure formed out of elasitor material 26, FIGS. 2-3, that presents an outwardly projecting seal...

Abstract

A dispensing valve unit, adapted to be quickly filled with tap water, permitting the user to selectively rotate for dispensing selections, then pump to deliver soap and water or water only to an outlet. Composing a pair of partially interfitted tubular assemblies, forming there between an upper pump piston assembly and a lower soap valve cylinder assembly. The pump handle assembly is adapted to hold water and includes a piston and seal means and substantially right angle fill port. The cylinder assembly is operatively mounted to a mop base with cam means. The cylinder includes a locking collate and inner valve seat. Located within the cylinder is a pair of shiftable valve bodies. Upper body is a soap valve dispensing capsule, including a valve follower stem that protrudes of a ball end there of. The valve capsule is positioned to interactively engage cylinder valve seat cooperatively defining two different fluid passage way. The lower valve body includes a protruding tube cam means. First passage way: both valves are shifted up stream, lower valve pushes the ball stem end of upper valve away from cylinder seat, while holding soap valve closed. Pump water flows around past upper valve through lower valve and out tube for rinse water. Second passage way: both valves are shifted down stream, upper valve is against cylinder seat, lower valve is spaced back from upper valve. Pump water flows through upper valve, mixing with soap through lower valve out tube for soapy water.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention is broadly concerned with cleaning mop or brush assembly, which is designed to be self-contained with a supply of soap and water held internally. The user can rapidly fill the handle reservoir from the home sink water tap, or remove and fill the soap dispensing valve capsule. The user can selectively deliver a mixture of liquid soap and water, rinse water only, or can mop without dispensing soap or water. More particularly, the invention pertains to a removable soap dispensing valve capsule assembly. A selectively shiftable ball check assembly can be relatively positioned at discrete locations for the respective user-selected delivery options. A pump handle reservoir delivers pressurized water.[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art[0004] Traditional home mopping, particularly with sponge mops, involved filling a bucket with water and mixing with soap, then mopping with soap. When rinsing is started, there is usually a numb...
