Benefits of technology

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a scrubbing pad comprising a plurality of nylon strands formed by curling so as to be porous and elastic wherein a first texture on a surface of the scrubbing pad is uneven for increasing bubble creation capability and thus decreasing the amount of dishwashing liquid being used in one cleaning.
[0005] It is another object of the present invention to provide a scrubbing pad having a wavy texture on the surface so as to effectively remove dirt adhered on kitchenware. Moreover nylon is not a water absorbing material for preventing microorganism from growing in the scrubbing pad. This can prolong the useful life of the scrubbing pad. Also, the scrubbing pad does not tend to decompose to leave its debris in the kitchenware after cleaning.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover nylon is not a water absorbing material for preventing microorganism from growing in the scrubbing pad.
This can prolong the useful life of the scrubbing pad.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 8, there is shown a scrubbing pad 10 constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The scrubbing pad 10 is comprised of a plurality of nylon strands 11 formed by curling so that the strand 11 can have a desired porosity and elasticity. About one half of the strands 11 are then stitched transversely to form weft 13 and the remaining strands 11 are stitched longitudinally across the weft 13 to form warp 12 in which in the warp 12 two adjacent strands 11 are formed as a unit, two units are separated by a longitudinal strand 11, and a distance therebetween is adapted to allow another unit opposite the sandwiched single strand 11 to stitch (see FIGS. 5 and 6). This forms a stitch pattern of the scrubbing pad 10 having an uneven texture 14 on its top surface similar to the surface of a pineapple (see FIG. 4) and a wavy texture 15 on its bottom surface (see FIG. 7). The surface having the wavy, three-dimensional, rough texture 15 is ...

Abstract

A scrubbing pad formed of porous curled nylon strands. Portion of the strands are stitched transversely to form weft and the remaining strands are stitched longitudinally to form warp. In one embodiment in the warp two adjacent strands are formed as a unit, two units are separated by longitudinal strands, and a distance therebetween allows another unit opposite the sandwiched single strand to stitch. An uneven texture on one surface of the scrubbing pad is adapted to increase bubble creation capability. Further, a wavy texture on the other surface is adapted to increase rubbing capability. The scrubbing pad has advantages of decreasing the amount of dishwashing liquid being used, effectively removing dirt adhered on kitchenware, preventing microorganism from growing, and being not subject to decomposition.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to kitchenware cleaning devices and more particularly to a scrubbing pad formed of strands of nylon with wavy texture and being adapted to have a desired porosity and roughness. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A conventional scrubbing pad for cleaning kitchenware is shown in FIG. 1. The scrubbing pad is formed of layers of hard glass fiber and has a sufficient thickness. The scrubbing pad is adapted to clean kitchenware when absorbing water mixed with dishwashing liquid. Initially, the scrubbing pad is somewhat tough, less elastic, and not porous. As such, fewer bubbles are created by rubbing the scrubbing pad in the water. That is, a user has to pour more dishwashing liquid into water for using the scrubbing pad to clean bowls or the like. This is quite time consuming. Moreover, dishwashing liquid may remain on the clean kitchenware if sufficient water is not used to wash it. Also, scrape may be created on a stainless p...
