Mop For Cleaning

Abstract

This invention is a cleaning mop that is made differently to mops currently on the market, and in particular, part of this invention is the structure of the edges and the way they are made for this mop; and the invention has an appearance and a method for being used that is similar to traditional cleaning cloths, except that advantageously it has no stitching along the perimeter edges.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of Italian Patent Application PD2012 / A000136, filed on 4 May 2012, and PCT Application PCT / IB2012 / 053518, filed on 3 May 2013, both incorporated herein by reference.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]The object of this invention is a cleaning mop, in particular a cleaning mop with edges that are differently structured and a new system for making a cleaning mop.DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART[0004]It is well known that a cleaning rag or cloth, very often defined as a cleaning mop, comprises a support and an active part.[0005]While the support has the function of providing solidity and to retain the active part, the active part, on the other hand, is that part of the mop that can carry out the actual cleaning function, coming into contact with the surfaces to be cleaned, removing and retaining the dirt.[0006]The shape of a normal mop ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a mop that can be made just as cheaply as one made with stitching along the edges, but with improved productivity and results that are equally reliable. The mop has layers of absorbent material that act as a pad or sponge to release the absorbed liquid slowly as pressure is applied. This increase in autonomy and productivity is made possible by the absorbent material, which allows the mop to work better and faster without needing constant maintenance.

Problems solved by technology

These requirements, even if it is possible to do them with the above-mentioned machine, slow things down, forcing the use of a slow operation to make the above-mentioned curved profile; this affects manufacturing times and therefore also the unit costs per mop.

This difference introduces drawbacks that have a negative impact over time.

However, to use this base correctly, opportunely using both surfaces of the mop, this has to position both active surfaces to be used for cleaning

This type of mop, however, has another drawback, in the phase when it is joined to the mop base that has a gripper mouth for holding the lengthwise edge of the mop, since said edge is thin and very often with wrinkles, it is difficult or impossible to insert it inside the mouth.

This thickness, comparable to the size of the opening of the gripper mouth, makes any insertion difficult.
