Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floor treatment tool comprising a handle, a drier part provided with a drying spatula, and a dry, damp or wet cloth, paper or mop attachable to the drier part.
  • a prior-art floor treatment tool has sticker pieces attached to the upper surface of the drier part, and therefore the only kind of cloth that can be attached to the drying spatula is a cloth having suitable sticker attachment parts that will stick to these sticker pieces.
  • the disadvantage is that, unless the cloth material is of a kind to which the stickers will adhere, it will not be possible to attach any other cloth, mop or equivalent to the drier because they have no attachment parts fitted to these stickers.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a floor treatment tool having a drier part to which it is possible to attach any dry, damp or wet cloth, paper or mop for sweeping a floor, after which the floor can be dried with the drier part.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in that the lower surface of the holder is provided with a saw-toothed edge or spikes to lock the cloth, paper or mop in place between the holder and the drier part.
  • a third preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in that the holder is connected to the drier part, to the joint between the drier part and the handle or to its connecting part via a joint.
  • a fourth preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in
  • a fifth preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in that it comprises a string connected to the holder, the opposite end of said string being fastened to the drier part or to a sleeve provided in conjunction with the handle, either directly or through an aperture in the connecting part.
  • a sixth preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in that two holders are connected to the opposite ends of the same string.
  • a seventh preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in that the holder is provided with a locking spike, which can be locked to a corresponding locking hole in the drier part.
  • An eighth preferred embodiment of the floor treatment tool of the invention is characterized in that
  • Fig. 1 presents a floor treatment tool 10, which comprises a handle 11 connected via a joint 12 to a drier part 20.
  • the drier part 20 comprises a connecting part 21, to which the handle 11 is connected via the joint 12.
  • Connected to the connecting part 21 in Fig. 1 are also two cloth holders 30a and 30b, which are pivoted on the connecting part 21 by joints 31a and 31b.
  • a clamping part 32a and 32b Provided at the end of each cloth holder 30a and 30b is a clamping part 32a and 32b, which can be pressed onto the drier part 20 so that the cloth holders 30a and 30b are locked in place.
  • the cloth is thus pressed between the drier part 20 and the saw-toothed edges 33a and 33b on the lower surface of the cloth holders 30a and 30b.
  • the cloth holders 30a and 30b are lifted upwards in Fig. 1, so that they turn about the joints 31a and 31b and the cloth is released from the gap between the cloth holders and the
  • Fig. 2 presents a second embodiment of the floor treatment tool, which has spikes 33a and 33b on the lower surface of the cloth holders 30a and 30b.
  • the spikes 33a and 33b lock the cloth in place.
  • Fig. 3 presents an embodiment of the floor treatment tool wherein the lower edges of the cloth holders 30a and 30b are not provided with spikes or equivalent.
  • the cloth is clamped between the clamping parts 32a and 32b and the drier part 20 when the clamping parts 32a and 32b are pressed onto the drier part 20.
  • Fig. 4 presents an embodiment of the floor treatment tool wherein each of the two pivoted cloth holders 30a and 30b comprises two clamping parts, the first cloth holder 30a having clamping parts 32a and 32b while the second cloth holder 30b similarly has clamping parts 32c and 32d. in this case, the cloth is clamped by four clamping parts.
  • Fig. 5 presents a floor treatment tool in which the cloth holders 30a and 30b are locked to dovetail grooves or corresponding cutouts made in the spatula 20.
  • the cloth holders 30a and 30b are preferably bodies formed from a flexible material, which have at one end a clamping part 32 fitted over the drier part 20 and at the opposite end a locking head 34 fitted to a corresponding groove or notch in the connecting part.
  • the cloth holders 30 are made of a flexible material, they need not be pivotally connected to the connecting part.
  • Fig. 6 presents an embodiment wherein the cloth holders 30a and 30b are pivoted on the drier part 20 via joints 31a and 31b provided on the drier part.
  • the cloth holders 30a and 30b consist of clamping parts 32a and 32b connected to the drier part 20 by strings 35a and 35b.
  • cloth holders 30a and 30b made of flexible material have been connected to the upper surface of the body part 26 of the drier part 20 by inserting expansions 34a and 34b provided at the ends of the cloth holders 30a and 30b into holes in the drier part, where the expansions 34a and 34b are locked.
  • the clamping parts 32a and 32b of the cloth holders 30a and 30b are connected by strings 35a and 35b to a sleeve 22 provided in conjunction with the handle 11.
  • a sleeve 22 provided in conjunction with the handle 11.
  • Fig. 10 corresponds to the embodiment in Fig. 9 in other respects except that the strings 35a and 35b of the clamping parts 32a and 32b of the cloth holders 30a and 30b are passed to the opposite side of the sleeve 22 through an aperture in the connecting part 21.
  • the device functions in a corresponding manner, but the strings 35a and 35b remain more controllably near the drier part 20 during use.
  • the cloth holders 30a and 30b are fastened to the shaft of the connecting part 21 between the handle 11 and the drier part 20.
  • Fig. 12 corresponds to the embodiment in Fig. 10 in other respects except that the two cloth holders 30a and 30b are attached to opposite ends of the same string 35.
  • the drier part 20 has locking spikes 25a and 25b on the upper surface of the body part 26, onto which spikes the cloth can be pressed so that the spikes protrude through the cloth.
  • the holders 30a and 30b can then be locked to the locking spikes by means of a locking hole 38, stud, button or equivalent.
  • the edge part of the cloth thus remains in place between the holders and the body part 26 of the drier part 20.
  • the holders 30a and 30b are provided with locking spikes 37a and 37b, which can be locked by pressing to corresponding locking holes 24a and 24b provided in the body part 26 of the drier part 20. In this case, too, the edge part of the cloth remains in place between the holders and the body part 26 of the drier part 20.
  • Fig. 15 presents diagrammatic cross-section of the drier part 20 of the floor treatment tool 10, showing that the cloth 40 is locked between the clamping part 32 of the cloth holder 30 and the body part 26 of the drier part 20.
  • the holder 30 of the cloth 40 is connected to the floor treatment tool 10 by a string 35.
  • the cloth 40 is held on the drier 20 by its one edge 41, so that the rest of the cloth can be turned either under the drying spatula 23 for dry, damp or wet sweeping of a floor, or alternatively to a position beside the drying spatula 23, preferably to the front side of the drying spatula, for drying of the floor using the drying spatula.
  • the cloth 40 When the cloth 40 is on the front side of the drying spatula 23 relative to the direction of movement during the drying of the floor, the cloth 40 will collect and adsorb the water accumulated by the drying spatula 23.
  • the cloth holders may vary greatly. It is also possible to use e.g. clothespin-type clamps attached to the drier part.
  • the holders are preferably fastened to the drier part in some way as described above. In some cases, however, it is also possible to use separate holders.
