Benefits of technology

[0023]The use of microfiber is highly recommended thanks to its well-known properties as high liquid absorption capacity and easy dry-squeezing, which are most favorable for the purpose of reducing the present invention into practice.

Problems solved by technology

However, the need to repeatedly dismount the rag and manually dipping or squeezing it is tiresome and unaesthetic.
On the other hand using the cords mop does not require the user to wet her / his hands, but the results are comparatively poor in rate and quality of floor cleaning.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The floor washing implement generally designated 10 in FIG. 2 comprises a broomstick 12 to which a slider device designated 14 is moveably mounted as will be described below in greater detail.

[0021]Mentioned at this stage is the fact that sliding the device upwards will cause double-armed wings 16a and 16b to pivot one in the direction of the other to reach the folded position illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 7.

[0022]A piece of cloth 18, most preferably of the type known as “microfiber” (see below) is attached to the distal ends of the wings 16a and 16b, the cloth being provided for that purpose with sewn eye-lets 18a and 18b. The wings are provided with restraining heads 16c and 16d. Obviously, any other fastening arrangement is applicable as long as the cloth 18 is easily placed and removed, at will.

Abstract

A cloth floor washing implement wherein the cloth can be folded to enable squeeze-draining in the floor mop fashion namely with a strainer. The implement comprises a pair of arms (16a; 16b) pivotally connected to a slider (22). The arms are guided by respective slots (20c) and (20d). Driving the slider (22) along broom stick (12) will cause the spreading-apart or folding back of the arms. The washing cloth, preferably made of microfiber, is releasably attached to the distal ends of the arms.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Generally, floor-washing implements fall into one of the following main categories: floor wipers (“squeegees”) and mops made of cords.[0002]Floor wipers comprise an elongated wiper fixed to the bottom end of a broomstick, with or without a rubber blade pointing downwards. A floor washing cloth or rag is spread over the wiper. At first, the rag is soaked in water and used to wet the floor. Then, the rag is manually squeezed dry, and used for absorbing the water from the floor.[0003]Sometimes the floor is first wiped by the wiper blade and then dried by the rag.[0004]In both cases, the rag needs to be separated from the broomstick for soaking it in a bucket of water, or to squeeze it, as the case may be.[0005]Working the cords mops is different (see FIG. 1). The bundle of cords A is inseparable from the broomstick. Therefore, wetting the floor takes place after the mop head has been soaked by dipping it in a water bucket B. Drying the floor needs first...
