Abstract
A rotatable mop includes upper and lower rods, as well as a fixing seat sheathed between the upper and lower rods. The fixing seat contains a bolt and a sliding element screwed with the bolt. The sliding element is connected with a grip sheathed at an outer rim of the fixing seat, a bottom of the bolt is a shaft connected with a disc body having mop wool, brush wool or a brush cloth. When using the mop, by sliding up and down the grip along the fixing seat, the sliding element is driven to rotate the bolt clockwise or counterclockwise, such that the disc body rotates along a same direction, thereby constituting brushing to facilitate a cleaning operation. Additionally, a centrifugal force generated by rotation after using the mop spins dry water on the mop wool, brush wool or brush cloth, thereby dehydrating the mop more conveniently.
Description
- a) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a rotatable mop, and more particularly to a rotatable mop which forms rotational brushing by an easy operation and is able to spin dry water attached after use, such that the mop can be dehydrated more conveniently.
- b) Description of the Prior Art
- When using a mop to wipe a floor, we usually soak mop wool in water and then brush on the floor back and forth, after that we will squeeze dry and re-soak the mop wool. As the mop wool will be rather heavy after being soaked in water, wiping the floor will be more laborious and each time after wiping, the mop wool needs to be squeezed dry by hands and then re-soaked, which requires much time and effort. Especially for a housewife with less strength, even a big trouble is formed while doing housework. Accordingly, an improved mop is provided after continuous research and experiments, such that wiping the floor with the mop and dehydrating the mop can be more convenient.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a rotatable mop which constitutes rotational brushing by an easy operation to facilitate a cleaning operation, and is able to spin dry water attached after use, thereby enabling the mop to be dehydrated more conveniently.
- The aforementioned rotatable mop includes an upper rod, a lower rod and a fixing seat which is sheathed between the upper and lower rods, wherein an interior of the fixing seat is provided with a bolt and a sliding element which is screwed at the bolt, with the sliding element being connected with a grip which is sheathed at an outer rim of the fixing seat, a bottom of the bolt being pivoted with a shaft and the shaft being connected with a disc body having mop wool, brush wool or a brush cloth. When the mop is used, by sliding up and down the grip along the fixing seat, the sliding element is driven to rotate the bolt clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the disc body to rotate along a same direction, so as to form brushing to facilitate the cleaning operation. In addition, after using the mop, water attached on the mop wool, brush wool or brush cloth is spun dry by a centrifugal force which is generated by rotation, thereby allowing the mop to be dehydrated more conveniently.
- To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic view of implementing another use of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 at a same time and in association withFIG. 3 , the present invention comprises primarily anupper rod 1 and alower rod 2 which can be sheathed together, as well as afixing seat 3 which is connected with the upper andlower rods upper rod 1 is provided with ascrewing part 11 which is protruded with anabutting block 12, with a cross section of theabutting block 12 being provided with a needle-shaped groove 121. - The
lower rod 2 is transfixed with ashaft 21, a top of theshaft 21 is provided with alocking block 22 which is provided with ahexagonal groove 221 and a bottom of thelocking block 22 is connected with theshaft 21, allowing theshaft 21 to protrude from a bottom of thelower rod 2. In addition, a position of theshaft 21 close to the bottom of thelower rod 2 is provided with abearing 24 and acollar 25 which is sheathed at thelower rod 2. - The
fixing seat 3 is a hollow tube and is provided with asymmetrical slot 30, an interior of thefixing seat 3 is provided with abolt 31 and asliding element 32 which is screwed at thebolt 31. Two ends of thebolt 31 are provided respectively with abearing 33 and an upper and a lower end of thebolt 31 are provided respectively with a needle-shaped abuttingpin 34 and ahexagonal spindle 35. - A grip 4 is sheathed at the fixing
seat 3 and is locked at the slidingelement 32 by passing screws into theslot 30 of thefixing seat 3. - Two
sleeves fixing seat 3. - A
disc seat 7 is provided with acylindrical sheath part 71 at a center, thesheath part 71 is provided with alock element 72 and a surface of thedisc seat 7 is provided with plural through-holes 73. By sheathing thesheath part 71 with theshaft 21 of thelower rod 2 and then locking with thelock element 72, thesheath part 71 is fixed at thelower rod 2 to fix adisc body 8 which is provided withmop wool 81. - By the aforementioned structures, the
upper rod 1 is locked at thesleeve 5 with thescrewing part 11, allowing theabutting pin 34 at the upper end of thebolt 31 to abut with thegroove 121 of theabutting block 12 of theupper rod 1. After thelower rod 2 has been sheathed in thesleeve 6, thespindle 35 at the bottom of thebolt 31 is latched in thegroove 221 which is provided in thelocking block 22 of thelower rod 2 and is locked by thecollar 25, thereby constituting a mop. Therefore, when using the mop, by sliding the grip 4 up and down along thefixing seat 3, thesliding element 32 is driven to rotate thebolt 31 clockwise or counterclockwise and by transmission of theshaft 21, thedisc seat 7 and thedisc body 8 rotate along a same direction, thereby constituting rotational brushing to facilitate a cleaning operation. In addition, a centrifugal force which is generated by the rotation of thedisc body 8 after using the mop, will spin dry water attached on themop wool 81, thereby dehydrating the mop more conveniently. - When the
aforementioned bolt 31 rotates, as two ends are provided respectively with thebearing 33 and the upper end is provided with theabutting pin 34, theabutting pin 34 can abut with thegroove 121 of theabutting block 12 of theupper rod 1, thus allowing thebolt 31 to rotate more smoothly and flexibly. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , after being used, the mop of the present invention can be lifted up and suspended in an ordinary water bucket or sink. Then, the grip 4 is held by hands to slide up and down along thefixing seat 3 to drive thedisc seat 7 and thedisc body 8 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. By the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of thedisc body 8, water attached on themop wool 81 is spun dry, allowing the mop to be dehydrated more conveniently. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , a surface and a side of thedisc body 8 can be provided respectively withmop wool 82, and the surface is provided with plural through-holes 83. In addition, a trumpet-shaped shade 9 is sheathed at thelower rod 2 to enclose thedisc seat 7 and thedisc body 8, and by sliding up and the down the grip 4 along thefixing seat 3, thedisc seat 7 and thedisc body 8 are driven to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to wash a wall or glass. Furthermore, dirt which is brushed down while washing, drops into the shade 9 from the through-holes disc seat 7 and thedisc body 8, to prevent from polluting ambient environment. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , the present invention can be provided with arectangular seat 10 which includes asheath part 101, thesheath part 101 is provided with alock element 102, and theseat 101 can be provided respectively withbrush wool 103,static cloth 104 or aplastic sheet 105. Similarly, by sliding up and down the grip 4 along thefixing seat 3, theseat 10 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to brush and clean a floor, a glass door or a window. - Accordingly, the present invention provides a rotatable mop which is constituted by a transmission mechanism, such that more labor works can be saved while using the mop and water attached on the mop can be spun dry by an easy operation after using, thereby enabling the mop to be dehydrated more conveniently.
- It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
