Benefits of technology

[0008]The main object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus having a cleaning head that is quickly and easily mounted and dismounted for various applications.
[0009]For achieving above objects, the present invention comprises a main rod, a fastening device, two connecting pieces, two holding plates, a first cleaning head with a comparatively large surface for cleaning large areas and a second cleaning head with a sponge. The first and second cleaning heads are alternatively mounted on lower sides of the two holding plates and easily replaced to allow for flexibility of cleaning applications.

Problems solved by technology

After wiping over the object to be cleaned, the cleaning element is manually wrung, which is laborious and unhygienic.
However, such a wringing device is hard to operate and mounting and dismounting thereof is cumbersome.
However, the cleaning element needs to be replaced regularly due to wear of material and deformation.
However, removing the cleaning element requires much manual force and is, due to a large number of snap-fastening projections, time-consuming.
Furthermore, elongated cleaning elements made of water-absorbent material are effective for cleaning, but, due to their limited size, not suitable for cleaning large floor areas.
However, conventional cleaning apparatuses operate with fixed cleaning elements, limiting applicability thereof.

first embodiment

[0021]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A, the present invention in a first embodiment is a cleaning apparatus 1, comprising a main rod 10, a fastening device 20; two connecting pieces 30; two holding plates 40; a wringing device 60; a first cleaning head 50; and a second cleaning head 70. The cleaning head 50 has an elongated sweeping part with an elliptic cross-section, made of water-absorbing material for cleaning floors. The fastening device 20 is roughly shaped like a triangular prism, having a central part that is mounted at a lower end of the main rod 10 and two side parts, each of which carry a hinge 21. Two connecting pieces 30 are at upper ends thereof respectively connected to the two side parts of the fastening device 20 by the hinges 21 and at lower ends thereof respectively connected with the two holding plates 40.

[0022]The wringing device 60 has a lever 61, which is hingedly connected with the main rod 10 and, at an outer end thereof, carries a handle 62 for manually pulling u...

third embodiment

[0039]Referring to FIGS. 7 and 7A, the present invention in a third embodiment is a cleaning apparatus 1B, comprising a main rod 10B, a listening device 20B, two holding plates 40B, a first cleaning head 50B and a second cleaning head 70B, which are alternatively mounted on the holding plates 40B. The second cleaning head 70B has two held plates 71B and a sweeping part 73B, attached to lower sides of the held plates 71B, The second cleaning head 70B carries on a top side thereof two first adhesive plates 72B, and the two holding plates 40B carry on lower sides thereof two second adhesive plates 45B, which engage with the first adhesive plates 72B, allowing easily to mount and dismount the second cleaning head 70B.

Abstract

A cleaning apparatus has two cleaning heads which are alternatively used for different cleaning, applications; in particular, a first cleaning head with a comparatively large surface for cleaning large areas and a second cleaning head with a sponge; The first and second cleaning heads are mounted on lower sides of two holding plates and easily replaced.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus with an easily replaceable cleaning head, particularly to a cleaning apparatus with an easily replaceable cleaning head for wet cleaning of various floor materials.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In daily life, cleaning apparatuses with handles are important tools for cleaning floors without the need for bending down or kneeling. A cleaning apparatus with handle generally has a handle and a cleaning element, which is a bundle of cotton strings or a wiping cloth. The cleaning element is attached to a lower end of the handle and works by absorbing water along with 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]Therefore, cleaning apparatuses have appeared on the market, which use an elongated sponge as cleaning element, so that dirt and dust are easily removed therefrom by simple washing with wa...
