Benefits of technology

[0005]It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning apparatus having a cleaning element of cloth that is made of common material and easily replaced.

Problems solved by technology

After wiping over the object to be cleaned, the cleaning element is manually wrung, which is laborious and unhygienic.
Due to the material of the cloth, however, manufacturing cost is high.
Furthermore, the cloth material is not easily available and cannot be replaced when worn.
Therefore, after the cloth has become unusable, the whole cleaning apparatus has to be replaced, which is wasteful.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]As shown in FIGS. 1-6, the cleaning apparatus of the present invention comprises: a main rod 1, an unidirectional wheel 2, set on an upper section of the main rod 1; a wringing tube 3, coaxially put over the main rod 1 and turnable against the unidirectional wheel 2 in one direction; a bearing 4, fastened to the main rod 1 at a lower end thereof; a lock 5, holding the lower end of the main rod 1 at a lower end of the bearing 4; and a cleaning rag assembly 6. The cleaning rag assembly 6 comprises a cleaning rag 61, which is shaped like a tube, an upper holder 62 and a lower holder 63. The upper holder 62 is attached to the cleaning rag 61 at an upper end thereof and fastened to the wringing tube 3 at a lower end thereof. The lower holder 63 is attached to the cleaning rag 61 at an upper end thereof and inserted into the lock 5 from below. By turning the wringing tube 3 against the main rod 1, the cleaning rag is wrung dry effectively. The upper and lower ends of the cleaning ra...

Abstract

A cleaning apparatus comprises a main rod, a wringing tube, a bearing, a lock, and a cleaning rag assembly. The lock has an upper end with an elastic holding assembly with insertion heads which respectively enter blocking holes of the main rod. Thereby the lock is easily mounted at the lower end of said main rod and dismounted therefrom, allowing to replace the cleaning rug assembly. The wringing tube has an upper end with a unidirectional wheel and an opening through which a lever assembly reaches which engages with a unidirectional wheel, permitting the unidirectional wheel to turn in one and only one direction, so that the cleaning rag is wrung dry with minimal physical effort.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus, particularly to a cleaning apparatus having a wiping cloth that is easily replaced.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In daily life, cleaning apparatuses with handles are important tools for cleaning. A cleaning apparatus with handle generally has a handle and a cleaning element, which is a bundle of cotton strings held together by a wire or a band or is a wiping cloth. The cleaning element is attached to a lower end of the handle and works by sucking in water which serves to dissolve dirt on an object to be cleaned. After wiping over the object to be cleaned, the cleaning element is manually wrung, which is laborious and unhygienic.[0003]To deal with the aforementioned problem, cleaning apparatuses have been developed which allow for convenient drying of cleaning elements. Each cleaning apparatus of this type comprises a rod, a tube and a cleaning element. The rod is inserted in the tube and glidingly ...
