发明名称 Fluid applicator and mopping system
摘要 A mopping system incorporating a multi-use absorptive storage reservoir of fluid retaining material for retention and pressure-induced expulsion of treatment solution to a surface being treated in combination with an independently removable cleaning pad of fibrous construction. The storage reservoir and cleaning pad are adapted to releaseably engage one another in juxtaposed relation such that the cleaning pad may be readily replaced during a treatment operation.

主权项 1. A mopping system adapted to reduce recycling and transportation of contaminants during use, the mopping system comprising: a user manipulated handle operatively connected to a mop head, wherein a first plurality of hooking elements defining one half of a hook and loop connection extends downwardly away from an underside surface of the mop head; a multi-layer fluid reservoir block adapted for releasable attachment to the first plurality of hooking elements, the fluid reservoir block comprising a fluid retaining body adapted to expel retained fluid upon the application of pressure, the fluid reservoir block further including a backing layer disposed above the fluid retaining body defining a plurality of loops adapted to engage the first plurality of hooking elements to establish a first hook and loop connection holding the fluid reservoir block in attached relation to the mop head, the fluid reservoir block further including a substantially fluid impermeable polymeric film layer disposed across a lower surface of the fluid retaining body facing away from the backing layer, the polymeric film layer including a second plurality of hooking elements projecting in a direction away from the fluid retaining body; and a cleaning pad adapted for removable hook and loop connection to the second plurality of hooking elements, the cleaning pad comprising an outer surface layer including a plurality of microfiber surface loops, the cleaning pad further including a fibrous fluid wicking layer secured to the outer surface layer and facing away from the surface loops, the fluid wicking layer defining a plurality of fiber loops adapted to engage the second plurality of hooking elements to establish a second hook and loop connection holding the cleaning pad in attached relation to the fluid reservoir block, wherein the peal strength of the first hook and loop connection is at least 2 times the peal strength of the second hook and loop connection.
