AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing surface cleaning materials, such as brushrolls for vacuum cleaners, require time-intensive tooling and redesign to adjust the ratio of soft materials to stiff bristles, limiting flexibility for different applications.

Method used

A surface cleaning material with a base structure woven from multiple fibers, including microfiber and nylon, arranged in a W-shape pattern, allowing for adjustable ratios of soft to stiff fibers and even dispersal of bristles, which can be easily manufactured using a loom.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides significant design flexibility and cost savings by allowing on-demand changes to the material composition and structure without requiring extensive tooling, resulting in improved scrubbing power and agitation for various surfaces.

Abstract

A surface cleaning material is provided that includes a base structure including at least one base material. The surface cleaning material also includes a plurality of fibers woven into the base structure such that a first end, a second end, and a middle portion of each of the plurality of fibers form a W-shape with the first and second ends of each of the plurality of first fibers being positioned a distance from a surface of the base structure. A method of manufacturing the surface cleaning material is also provided.
