Cleaning impliments having magnetic means

Abstract

The present invention is a device for cleaning surfaces comprising; a housing having a handle on one end and a cleaning head on the other end the cleaning head having an upper surface, a lower surface, a perimeter edge and a magnetic means the magnetic means providing a magnetic field to at least the lower surface of the cleaning head and at least one attachment means provided on the upper surface or the perimeter for securing a cleaning sheet over the lower surface of the cleaning head.

1 . A device for cleaning surfaces comprising: 
 a housing having a handle on one end and a cleaning head on the other end said cleaning head having an upper surface, a lower surface, a perimeter edge and a magnetic means said magnetic means providing a magnetic field to at least said lower surface of said cleaning head;    at least one attachment means provided on said upper surface or said perimeter for securing a cleaning sheet over said lower surface of said cleaning head.    
   
   
       2 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein said magnetic means is at least one rigid magnet, a flexible magnetic sheet or at least one magnetic filament.  
   
   
       3 . A device according to  claim 2  wherein said at least one rigid magnet is provided within said cleaning head.  
   
   
       4 . A device according to  claim 2  wherein said flexible magnetic sheet is affixed on said lower surface of said cleaning head.  
   
   
       5 . A device according to  claim 2  wherein said at least one magnetic filament is provided on said lower surface of said cleaning head.  
   
   
       6 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein said housing further comprises a flexible means between said handle and said cleaning head that allows said cleaning head to pivot about the handle.  
   
   
       7 . A device according to  claim 6  wherein said flexible means is comprised of a universal joint and a rotational joint.  
   
   
       8 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein said attachment means functions by way of direct pressure.  
   
   
       9 . A device according to  claim 8  wherein said attachment means is a clamp.  
   
   
       10 . A device according to  claim 9  wherein said clamp is activated by a spring or a magnet.  
   
   
       11 . A device according to  claim 9  wherein said clamp is a snap.  
   
   
       12 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein said attachment means functions by way of frictional pressure.  
   
   
       13 . A device according to  claim 12  wherein said attachment means is Velcro™, at least one serrated strip or at least one pressure grip.  
   
   
       14 . A device for cleaning surfaces comprising: 
 a handle;    a cleaning head attached to said handle, said cleaning head having an upper surface, a lower surface, a perimeter edge and a recessed portion;    a magnetic means attached to or encased within said recessed portion of said cleaning head said magnetic means providing a magnetic field to at least said lower surface of said cleaning head;    at least one attachment means provided on said upper surface or said perimeter for securing a cleaning sheet over said lower surface of said cleaning head.    
   
   
       15 . A cleaning sheet comprising: 
 a fiber matrix wherein one or both surfaces of said fiber matrix have a static charge; and    at least one magnetic means provided within or sewn through said fiber matrix.    
   
   
       16 . A cleaning sheet according to  claim 15  further comprising a cleaning solution saturated into said fiber matrix.
