Abstract

Apparatus for scrubbing the floor, essentially constituted by a handle with a rectangular head that presents on the opposite side to the handle a confessed semi-cylindrical surface against which a concave analogous surface of a rectangular piece is applied, retained at its ends by means of arms articulated to the first, so that said two pieces can form a diversity of angles; and on the outside of the angle that they form is placed a pad or analogous element capable of being soaked with water, which is completely covered with a portion of cloth or other similar cloth, fixed to the two said articulated parts of which the mobile is governed by a lever mounted on the handle of the apparatus and with the intermediation of a rod, ribbon, rope or similar element, so that moving the lever and pull the said moving part upwards tend to close the angle they form the two repeated pieces with what the cloth is applied against the pad to which it compresses to drain the water so that it is soaked and vice versa, when loosening the lever, the angle formed by the two pieces is opened, with which the cloth stops working on the pad that in this form can absorb the water by submerging it in a bucket that contains it or by passing it through a wet floor.
