Description

DESCRIPTION

ABRASIVE MOP FOR HARD SURFACES

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention relates to a mop, the object of which is to provide a cleaning tool with a new added abrasive component that makes it extremely effective when carrying out the cleaning of hard surfaces, such as tiles, stoneware, terrazzo, cement, concrete, polished concrete, epoxy floors, granite, etc., regardless of the degree of dirt it contains.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the scope of the invention, mops and mops obtained from a head are known, to which a plurality of ribbons or cords are associated from a mixture of absorbent materials.

Although this solution is suitable for cleaning certain surfaces, it can be seen that it is not suitable for cleaning surfaces where dirt is stuck or dry, requiring excessive force to be applied to the mop and the surface to be cleaned, which unnecessarily wears out the personnel using it.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The cleaning tool proposed by the invention fully satisfactorily resolves the problem described above.

To this end, and more specifically, it has been planned that, starting from the basic structure of this type of device, which includes a head, to which the actual cleaning elements made of absorbent material are conveniently fixed, and one or more connecting pins that fix it to the head.

The invention focuses its features on introducing a wool of abrasive material between the union of the cleaning elements and the pin/s in such a way that the device is as follows: mop head where the handle is attached, elements in the form of absorbent cleaning strips or cords, abrasion wool (which can be made of: steel, nickel, copper, or any other abrasive material, preferably non-oxidizable), fixing element or elements that are inserted into the head trapping the cleaning and abrasion elements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings collected in a single figure is included as an integral part of said description, where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows an exploded side perspective view of the device of the invention. Where its distribution and assembly order can be clearly observed.

In it, you can also see the benefits of this invention, since it will not require any investment for a manufacturer of floor mop spare parts to carry out this model, since it does not require the use of any special machine.

Another advantage of this new model of abrasive mop replacement is that the main element of this invention, the abrasive wool, is susceptible to wearing out or fraying more quickly than a conventional floor mop replacement, which will increase the regularity of purchasing the replacement.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As can be seen in figure 1. And referencing the mop replacement, which comprises a head (1) with a threaded housing (2) for the handle (not shown), and a stop on its inner part (3) with a hole (4) for fixing the intermediate cleaning elements by means of the passage of a fastening piece, in the form of a pin (12).

Inside the head (5), rough elements may or may not be provided to hold the cleaning elements made of generally textile absorbent material (7) by means of pressure and friction, which incorporate a perforation in the central area (6) through which the passage to the pin (12) is facilitated. Immediately after the cleaning element made of generally textile absorbent material (7), the abrasive element, an abrasive compound (8), is placed in the central area thereof, which will be held by the pin (12) which will pass through it until reaching the hole (4), thus trapping both the abrasive compound (8) and the cleaning elements made of generally textile absorbent material (7) by means of a perforation in its central area (6) which will facilitate the passage of the pin (12) towards the hole (4) of the head (1). This holding piece, the pin (12) is generally made of a derivative of plastic, nylon or polyester, with a pike shape at its upper end (9) and has a stem in its middle part (10), long enough to satisfactorily catch all the intermediate cleaning and abrasion elements, ending in a base (11) that firmly holds the cleaning elements made of generally textile absorbent material (7) and the abrasive compound (8) between the pin (12) and the head (1), thus forming the replacement abrasive mop for hard surfaces.

Claims (1)

1. The abrasive mop for hard surfaces is characterized by incorporating a central, abrasive and rust-resistant element, composed of any material that meets these characteristics, to a conventional mop replacement.
