Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products

Abstract

The present invention concerns a broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products. Said broom is characterized in that a tubular appendage ( 29 ) provided on the bottom of a reservoir ( 3 ) for the discharge of liquid has an opening sufficiently large to allow it to be easily cleaned of incrustations and deposits that result from the use of dense or semi-dense fluids, such as floor waxes, and is structured continuously with the bottom of the reservoir ( 3 ), so as to resist any interventions resulting from possible cleaning of the tubular section (FIG. 10 ).

1 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, characterized in that a tubular appendage ( 29 ) on the bottom of the reservoir ( 3 ) for liquid discharge has a hole sufficiently large to facilitate removal of any incrustation or deposits that may result from the use of dense or semi-dense fluids such as floor waxes, and structured continuously with the bottom of the reservoir ( 3 ) so as to resist any interventions resulting from possible cleaning of the tubular section.  
     
     
         2 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, according to    claim 1   , characterized in that a small connector ( 31 ), mounted on the tubular appendage ( 29 ) provided on the bottom of the reservoir ( 3 ), is provided with an appendage ( 32 ), whose dimensions are such that a small flexible tube ( 5 ) used for the discharge of liquid contained in the reservoir can be inserted.  
     
     
         3 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, characterized in that the small nose ( 20 ), which compresses the small flexible tube ( 5 ) for regulating or stopping the flow of liquid, is configured in such a way that, whenever it is nearly compressed, it is automatically centered on the edges ( 50 ) of the opening ( 18 ) of the sleeve ( 14 ) in which it moves so as to symmetrically compress the small flexible tube ( 5 ) against the edge of the vault of the opening ( 18 ) and prevent possible leakage of fluid through the small tube.  
     
     
         4 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products according to    claim 3   , characterized in that whenever the small nose ( 20 ) is not compressing the small flexible tube ( 5 ) that serves to discharge liquid from the reservoir ( 3 ), it can be displaced transversally with respect to the edges ( 50 ) of the opening ( 18 ) of the sleeve ( 14 ), by allowing small torsion-free rotational movements of the rod ( 12 ) connected to the control knob ( 10 ) whenever said control knob ( 10 ) is placed in a position such that the enlargement ( 41 ) of the hollow ( 40 ) in its hub ( 39 ) falls opposite the key ( 42 ) present in the sleeve ( 36 ) into which the hub ( 39 ) is inserted.  
     
     
         5 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, characterized in that the attachment of the upper extremity of the rod ( 12 ) to the control knob ( 10 ) is realized by means of a locking element with a prismatic cross-section ( 37 ), which is tightened by a screw ( 38 ) inserted in a hollow associated with the control knob.  
     
     
         6 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, characterized in that closure of the reservoir mouth is realized by means of a cover that is pressed against the mouth, said cover ( 48 ) (or the upper outside surface of the reservoir ( 3 )) being provided with respective locking elements ( 49 ) and the upper outside surface of the reservoir ( 3 ) (or the outside surface of the cover ( 48 )), with respective appendages ( 47 ) that facilitate the closure of locking elements ( 49 ).  
     
     
         7 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products according to    claim 6   , characterized in that normal reservoirs ( 3 ), provided with threads, are equipped with associated annular elements ( 45 ) that are internally provided with threads for screwing and externally, with appendages ( 47 ) for locking, whereby a mouth can have an opening capable of being closed by means of a cover ( 48 ) that is applied under pressure and provided with locking elements ( 49 ).  
     
     
         8 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, characterized in that the mop ( 54 ) support ( 6 ) is provided with rigid fins ( 7 ) that are coplanar with the stirrup ( 11 ) provided for attachment of the shaft carrier ( 8 ) and which prevent rotation of the mop ( 54 ) around its support ( 6 ).  
     
     
         9 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products according to    claim 8   , characterized in that the fins ( 7 ) are reduced in height throughout their central region to enable passage of snaps ( 55 ) on the mop ( 54 ), thus avoiding translation of the mop ( 54 ) with respect to its support ( 6 ).  
     
     
         10 . Broom provided with a regulator for controlling the flow of floor cleaning and treatment products, characterized in that it comprises an elastic sleeve applied to the shaft carrier ( 8 ) opposite the region crossed by the small flexible tube ( 5 ) and which prevents debris from entering the openings in the shaft carrier.
