Washing combination for the cleaning of floors or other planar surfaces

摘要

Method of wringing of the sponge mop pad provided on mops comprising a soleplate whereon is applied such a pad, and fixed to the distal end of a shaft, characterized in that the cleaning and the wringing of the mop pad are obtained simultaneously by placing the unit comprised of said soleplate and said mop pad in a position parallel to the axis of the shaft and by moving a slide comprising a cleaning and wringing wiper along said ensemble, said slide exerting, during its movements, a wiping action on the lower surface of the soleplate and a wringing pressure on said surface of the mop pad. The invention also relates to a washing combination allowing for the implementation of this method.

主权项

1. A washing assembly comprising:
a shaft; a rigid soleplate having a joint affixed at a central portion there, said shaft having a distal end connected to said joint, said soleplate having a planar lower surface; a mop pad removably applied against said planar lower surface of said soleplate, said mop pad formed of a spongy and compressible material, said soleplate and said mop pad movable between a washing position in which said soleplate and said mop pad are perpendicular or tilted relative to said longitudinal axis of said shaft and a wringing position in which said soleplate and said mop pad are arranged in parallel relation to the longitudinal axis of said shaft; and a wring module movably mounted along a lower portion of said shaft and along said soleplate and said mop pad when in the wringing position so as to exert a pressure onto an external surface of said mop pad, said wring module comprising:
a slide slidably mounted to said shaft; anda wiper affixed to said slide and oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said shaft, said wiper exerting a pressing force and a wiping action onto said external surface of said mop pad when said soleplate and said mop pad are in the wringing position, said wiper having a longitudinal blade extending across an entire length thereof, said longitudinal blade being tilted downwardly.
