Abstract

A wringer roller mop comprising: an elongated mop head; a lever in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head near a first end of the elongated mop head; a plurality of rollers in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head near a second end of the elongated mop head; a linkage means in communication with the lever and in communication with a backing of a sponge refill; and where the wringer roller mop is configured such that when the lever is rotated, the linkage means moves in an upward direction towards the first end, pulling the sponge refill into between the plurality of rollers. A wringer roller mop comprising: an elongated mop head; a mop handle in slideable communication with the elongated mop head; an annular rack gear attached to the mop handle; a lever in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head; a pinion gear attached to the lever and in communication with the annular rack gear; a plurality of rollers in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head near a sponge end of the elongated mop head; a sponge refill in communication with a sponge end of the mop handle; and where the wringer roller mop is configured such that when the lever is rotated in a direction, the pinion gear moves the annular rack gear and mop handle in an upward direction, pulling the sponge refill into between the plurality of rollers.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wringer roller mop comprising: 
 an elongated mop head;    a lever in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head near a first end of the elongated mop head;    a plurality of rollers in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head near a second end of the elongated mop head;    a linkage means in communication with the lever and in communication with a backing of a spongerefill; and    wherein the wringer roller mop is configured such that when the lever is rotated, the linkage means moves in an upward direction towards the first end, pulling the sponge refill into between the plurality of rollers.    
   
   
       2 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a mop handle in communication with the first end of the elongated mop head.    
   
   
       3 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , wherein the linkage means is a steel wire.  
   
   
       4 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a first eye located on the backing of the sponge refill;    a second eye located on the backing of the sponge refill; and    wherein the linkage means is in communication with the first eye and the second eye.    
   
   
       5 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a first protuberance located at a pivot point of the lever;    a second protuberance located at a pivot point of the lever;    a first indentation located on the elongated mop head;    a second indentation located on the elongated mop head; and    wherein the first protuberance is configured to rotatably sit in the first indentation and the second protuberance is configured to rotatably sit in the second indentation.    
   
   
       6 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 2 , wherein the mop handle is replaceable with mop handles of differing lengths.  
   
   
       7 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , wherein the sponge refill is replaceable.  
   
   
       8 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated mop head and the lever are made from a material selected from the group consisting of: molded thermoplastic, nylon, rubber, metal, and fiberglass.  
   
   
       9 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a handle located on the lever and configured to allow a user to rotate the lever.    
   
   
       10 . A wringer roller mop comprising: 
 an elongated mop head;    a mop handle in slideable communication with the elongated mop head;    an annular rack gear attached to the mop handle;    a lever in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head;    a pinion gear attached to the lever and in communication with the annular rack gear;    a plurality of rollers in rotatable communication with the elongated mop head near a sponge end of the elongated mop head;    a sponge refill in communication with a sponge end of the mop handle; and    wherein the wringer roller mop is configured such that when the lever is rotated in a direction, the pinion gear moves the annular rack gear and mop handle in an upward direction, pulling the sponge refill into between the plurality of rollers.    
   
   
       11 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 10 , wherein the elongated mop head, the lever and the annular rack gear are made from a material selected from the group consisting of: molded thermoplastic, nylon, rubber, metal, and fiberglass.  
   
   
       12 . The wringer roller mop of  claim 10 , wherein the lever is configured to snap onto the elongated mop head.
