FLOOR MOP WITH CONCENTRATED CLEANING FEATURE

摘要

A mop having a base plate, a handle, a joint connecting the plate to the handle, a first grip at the end of the handle, a scrubbing mechanism in the base, and a cleaning pad attached to the bottom of the base. The scrubbing mechanism includes a scrub bar, and is movable between an inactive position in which the bar is flush with or above the lower surface of the plate, and an active position in which the bar extends through an opening through the plate to be at least partially below the lower surface of the plate. The cleaning pad moves from being flat on the lower surface of the plate when the scrubbing mechanism is in the inactive position, and a second configuration in which at least a portion of the cleaning pad protrudes downwards from the lower surface when the scrubbing mechanism is in the active position.

主权项

1. A mop comprising:
a base plate having a generally flat lower surface configured to face a surface to be cleaned and a base plate opening through the lower surface; a handle having a proximal end, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a handle axis extending form the proximal end to the distal end; a joint connecting the proximal end of the handle to the base plate; a first grip connected at the distal end of the handle; a scrubbing mechanism comprising a scrub bar, the scrubbing mechanism being movably mounted to the base plate and configured to move between an inactive position in which the scrub bar is flush with or above the lower surface of the base plate, and an active position in which the scrub bar extends through the base plate opening to be at least partially below the lower surface of the base plate; and a cleaning pad selectively connectable to the lower surface of the base plate, the cleaning pad being movable between a first configuration in which the cleaning pad lies flat on the lower surface when the scrubbing mechanism is in the inactive position, and a second configuration in which at least a portion of the cleaning pad protrudes downwards from the lower surface when the scrubbing mechanism is in the active position.
