Description
- The present invention is related to a cleaning implement, and more particularly to a rotary mop with better water-wringing effect.
-
FIG. 1 shows a conventionalrotary wringing mop 10 including ahandle 12 and aslide sleeve 14 fitted on thehandle 12. Theslide sleeve 14 is movable along thehandle 12 and rotatable about thehandle 12. One end of amop cloth 16 is connected with abottom end 121 of thehandle 12, while the other end of themop cloth 16 is connected with abottom end 141 of theslide sleeve 14. In use, theslide sleeve 14 is moved to the bottom end of thehandle 12. At this time, themop cloth 16 is collapsed and suspended from the bottom of themop 10 for mopping a ground. When it is desired to wring water out of themop cloth 16, a user can upward move theslide sleeve 14 to straighten themop cloth 16 as shown inFIG. 1 . Then the user rotates theslide sleeve 14 with one hand and rotates thehandle 12 with the other hand to wring the water out of themop cloth 16 as shown inFIG. 2 . - According to the above arrangement, the water can be hardly fully wrung out of the
mop cloth 16 to dry themop cloth 16. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , thebottom end 141 of theslide sleeve 14 has a larger outer diameter and serves as a main part for wringing themop cloth 16. When wringing themop cloth 16, an upper half U of the mop cloth is first wrung by theslide sleeve 14 and then a lower half B of the mop cloth is wrung. However, after the upper half U is wrung, the upper half U will bind thehandle 12, under such circumstance, the handle is hardly to rotate and the slide sleeve is also difficult to wring themop cloth 16. The tighter the mop cloth is wrung, the tighter the handle is bound. When a user further rotates theslide sleeve 14 for wringing the lower half B, the user must exert a great force against the binding force and frictional resistance between the upper half U and thehandle 12. Under such circumstance, it will be hard to further rotate theslide sleeve 14 to wring the water out of the lower half B of the mop cloth. Therefore, the water will remain contained in the lower half B. Moreover, when wringing the mop cloth, the water will flow from the upper half U to the lower half B and accumulate therein. The lower half B serves as a main part for contacting with the ground, while the water can be hardly wrung out of the lower half B. This will deteriorate the mopping effect. - It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a rotary mop, which is able to effectively wring and dry the mop cloth.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a rotary mop in which the mop cloth can be wrung by less strength.
- According to the above objects, the rotary mop of the present invention includes: a handle; a slide sleeve fitted on the handle, the slide sleeve being rotatable about and movable along the handle; a mop cloth, one end of the mop cloth being connected with a bottom end of the slide sleeve, while the other end of the mop cloth being connected with a bottom end of the handle; and a rotary tube fitted on the handle and rotatable about the handle.
- By means of rotating the slide sleeve and the handle relative to each other, the mop cloth is wrung and tensioned to bind the rotary tube, not the handle. Therefore, a user can further rotate the slide sleeve and the handle relative to each other to effectively wring and dry the mop cloth.
- When wringing the mop cloth, no binding force is applied to the handle and there is no frictional resistance existing between the mop cloth and the handle. Accordingly, a user can easily wring the mop cloth with less strength.
