Mop system
Abstract
A mop system including a shaft, a handle, a body, and a head. The handle configured to be ergonomic with an actuator that is comfortable to use with a multitude of grips and is configured to trigger a release of a fluid stored within a bottle of the body of the mop system. The flexible exit hose is partially enveloped with a rigid hose guide to control the dispensing direction of the fluid. The bottle having a shape configured with a grip cover to maximize user grip. The head of the mop system configured to releasably attach to an end of the shaft, with release clips to detach the head of the mop system from the shaft. The head further having a plurality of channel portions formed on a bottom surface to receive various cleaning attachments.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A mop system, comprising:
a shaft having a first end and a second end; a handle coupled to the first end of the shaft, the handle comprising:
a first end;
a second end opposite the first end and coupled to the first end of the shaft; and
an actuator disposed in the handle adjacent the second end;
a head releasably coupled to the second end of the shaft, the head further comprising:
a revolving mechanism coupled to the shaft with a release clip, and
a bottom surface; and
a body disposed on the shaft, the body further comprising:
a removable bottle comprising:
a first end having a lid,
a second end having a discharge valve, and
a grip cover;
a mechanism for activating the discharge valve of the removable bottle; and
a flexible exit hose that is in fluid communication with the bottle.
2 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator configured for operation in a variety of hand grip positions.
3 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein a texture is applied to or formed on the first end of the handle.
4 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the release clip is configured to release the head of the mop system from the shaft upon depression thereof.
5 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the head comprises a first channel forming a first retention device, a second channel forming a second retention device, and a center channel flanked by a first track and a second track.
6 . The mop system according to claim 5 , wherein the first retention device and the second retention device are configured to releasably receive an attachment.
7 . The mop system according to claim 5 , wherein the first track and the second track are configured to receive an attachment.
8 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge valve further comprises a discharge valve body housing a plunger, a seal that receives the bottom end of the plunger, a spring that at least partially envelops the plunger, a retainer that is placed atop the spring and plunger, a valve seal that is placed atop the retainer, and an O-ring that is placed at the bottom of the discharge valve body assembly.
9 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the grip cover is press fit onto the bottle.
10 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the grip cover is attached to the bottle through an adhesive.
11 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanism for activating the discharge valve includes a stem integrated into the body that is configured to open the discharge valve when the bottle is inserted into the body.
12 . The mop system according to claim 11 , wherein the mechanism for activating the discharge valve includes an elongate member which is urged by the pivoting of the actuator when activated to open a valve, thereby facilitating fluid communication between the bottle and the flexible exit hose.
13 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the rigid hose guide partially envelops the flexible exit hose.
14 . The mop system according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible exit hose is at least partially enveloped by a rigid hose guide.
15 . A mop system, comprising:
a shaft having a first end and a second end; a handle coupled to the first end of the shaft, the handle comprising:
a first end;
a second end opposite the first end and coupled to the first end of the shaft; and
an actuator disposed adjacent the second end;
a head releasably coupled to the second end of the shaft, the head further comprising:
a revolving mechanism coupled to the shaft, and
a bottom surface; and
a body disposed on the shaft, the body further comprising:
a removable bottle comprising:
a first end having a lid, and
a second end having a discharge valve; and
a mechanism for activating the discharge valve of the removable bottle.
16 . The mop system according to claim 15 , wherein the actuator is disposed in the handle.
17 . The mop system according to claim 15 , wherein the revolving mechanism is coupled to the shaft with a release clip.
18 . The mop system according to claim 15 , wherein the removable bottle comprises a grip cover.
19 . The mop system according to claim 18 , wherein the grip cover is press fit onto the bottle.
20 . The mop system according to claim 15 , wherein the body comprises a flexible exit hose that is in fluid communication with the bottle and is at least partially enveloped by a rigid hose guide.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
