Abstract

A mop includes a backing having rows of tightly reversely twisted coiled tufts projecting from a bottom side. The tufts are formed from super-thin fabric such as chenille microfiber twisted prior to tufting at 200 to 1000 per 10 cm prior to tuft formation. The tufts are reversely twisted subsequent to tuft formation. A lining overlies the top side of the backing and includes pockets attached at the ends for receiving a mop head without the need for fasteners.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to cleaning tools and, in particular, to a mop having tightly coiled tufted mop elements.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]As a cleaning tool, the mop is widely used in almost every trade. Currently, the mops on market are basically of the same structure with the mop mat and mop head fixed together. The fasteners used to fix mop mat and mop head easily become rusty and eroded. Also, because the mop mat and mop head are fixed together, it is troublesome to clean it after use. Certainly, the market is having other types of mops available, such as a mop cloth of which the technology was published by the State Intellectual Property Office of P.R.C in Oct. 27, 1999, with application number of CN98217546.9. In its design, the back of the mop cloth is slipped on a mop handle together with a mop head. The mop cloth is a whole part combined by many mop strips. The mop strips are divided into two sets of the same shape. One side of it is braide...
