[0001] The invention concerns a cleaning implement.

[0002] It is known to use a cleaning implement comprising a mop body as a cleaning device, which mop body comprises an arm articulated to it. A cleaning rag or a cleaning cloth or other such is usually joined to the mop body by a sticker attachment or mechanically. Such known cleaning implement is disclosed for example in documents WO 2007/056100 A1 and EP 0287533 A2.

[0003] The present invention presents quite a new type of mop body solution, in which the mop body comprises an articulation in between the mop body and the arm. In addition, there is a rocking body, which comprises first attaching means, preferably magnetic attaching means, and second attaching means, preferably also magnetic attaching means, with the aid of which the rocking body can be turned into a position, in which into a gap between the rocking body and the mop body a cleaning device, such as a cleaning cloth, can be placed, and into a second position, where said gap is closed. Locking of the first position is carried out by first attaching/locking means, preferably magnetic locking means, in the rocking body's first half-arm, and second attaching/locking means, preferably also magnetic attaching means, carry out the locking and make the gap remain closed in the rocking body's second position. Thus, the rocking body is always turned into either locked end position.

[0004] According to a first aspect, the present invention provides a cleaning implement, which comprises a mop body, to which is articulated an arm, with which the mop body can be moved when cleaning. The mop body comprises a rocking body, which is articulated to it and which is articulated to turn around a geometric axis X₁. The rocking body comprises a first rocking body-half there are first attaching means and that the rocking body comprises a second rocking body-half and that there are second attaching means, whereby the rocking body can be placed in such a position, where a gap is formed in between the second rocking body half and the mop body, into which gap a cleaning device can be placed. The rocking body can be turned into a second position, in which the gap is closed, and that the first attaching means bring about the open position of the gap and the second attaching means bring about the closed position of the gap, whereby the rocking body at its body-half will press the cleaning device against the mop body. Both first attaching means are magnetic attaching means, and both second attaching means are also magnetic attaching means.

[0005] According to another aspect, the present invention presents a cleaning implement, which comprises a mop body, to which is articulated an arm. The mop body can be moved when cleaning, and which mop body comprises a rocking body, which is articulated to it and which is articulated to turn around a geometric axis X₁. The rocking body comprises a first rocking body-half, and that there are first attaching means and the rocking body comprises a second rocking body-half, and there are second attaching means. The rocking body can be placed in such a position, where a gap is formed in between the second rocking body half and the mop body, into which gap a cleaning device can be placed. The rocking body can be turned into a second position, in which the gap is closed, and that the first attaching means bring about the open position of the gap and the second attaching means bring about the closed position of the gap, whereby the rocking body at its body-half will press the cleaning device against the mop body. In the locked situation the first attaching means are placed to match each other in the attachment, and some of them are magnetic attaching means and the others are iron parts, and that the second attaching means, will match each other when locked, and some of them are magnetic attaching means and the others are iron parts.

[0006] The rocking body is preferably shaft-mounted on the same shaft as the mop body's arm.

[0007] The mop body is preferably of plastic materials and it is preferably formed in such a way that the attaching means, preferably magnetic attaching means, are fitted inside the mop body, whereby they will not be dirtied and will not fall out of the structure. The attaching means are also locking means. They are used to lock the rocking arm in either end position. The attaching means may be cast inside the mop body or they may be covered in the mop body's cavity, on top of which a protecting plate is welded.

[0008] In accordance with the invention, cleaning devices, such as a cleaning rag, can be placed in a gap K between the rocking body and the mop body K, so that it is entered into said gap by moving the mop body forward. The gap can be closed by pressing with the foot on the rocking body's second body part. Said gap can be opened and the mop rag released by pressing with the foot on the rocking body's first half-body. One set of magnetic means becomes locked as the other magnetic means are opening.

[0009] A magnet-magnet combination or a magnet-iron combination can be used as the magnetic locking means or attaching means.

[0010] The mop body's bottom may be smooth and even. In the mop body's bottom grooves may also be used, which will promote the rag's effect and cleaning action. When a shaft is used in the rocking body's and the arm's bearing, it is preferable to use a shaft, which is made of a plastic or composite material and which can be locked in its position by using a locking pin or plugs or other such shouldered structures in the shaft ends. In the mop body and in its parts it is preferable to use such raw materials, which will not rust; preferably plastic, nylon or composites.

[0011] In the invention an excellent novel mop body structure is thus formed, in which a cleaning device can be attached in the mop body without using hands and in which the dirty rag need not be touched during the entire cleaning activity. In accordance with the invention, by forming the rocking body structure and by using magnetic devices as the attaching means, it is possible to use such a cleaning device, for which no sticker attachment or pocket attachment need to be used, and which is thus advantageous as a whole both for the manufacturer and for the user.

[0012] This invention thus presents a novel device solution; a new type of cleaning implement.

[0013] The cleaning implement according to the invention is characterized by the features presented in the claims.

[0014] The invention will be described in the following by referring to some advantageous embodiments of the invention, which are shown in the figures of the appended drawings, but there is no intention to restrict the invention to these embodiments alone.

Figure 11A illustrates how an attaching/locking means, such as a magnet, is placed in a cavity inside the body and covered with a protecting cover.

Figure 11B illustrates the structure of figure 11A after covering. Figure 1 is an axonometric view of the cleaning implement 10 according to the invention and Figure 2 shows the mop from the direction of arrow k₁ of Figure 1.

[0015] The cleaning implement is used to clean floors in particular. The cleaning implement 10 comprises a mop body 11, to which an articulated arm 12 is connected. To the mop body 11 is connected through its lugs 13a₁, 13a₂ a rocking body 14, which is articulated to turn around the geometric axis x₁ carried by a shaft 15. The rocking body 14 comprises a first rocking body-half A₁ on one side of the axis x₁ and a second rocking body-half A₂ on the other side of axis x₁, preferably in the mid-area of the rocking body's 14 width. The first rocking body-half A₁ and the mop body 11 matching it comprise first attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂, preferably magnetic attaching means, and the second rocking body-half A₂ and the mop body 11 matching it comprise second attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂, preferably also magnetic attaching means. The attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂; 17a₁, 17a₂ may also be called locking means for the rocking body's turning motion. In cross-section, the rocking body's 14 half-arm A₁ has its axis Y₁ at an acute angle α in relation to the half-arm's A₂ axis Y₂. The angle α is preferably approximately 45°.

[0016] The first attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂ are located on the side of the rocking body's 14 rocking body-half A₁, so that the attaching means 16a₁ are located in the rocking body 14 and so that the attaching means 16a₂ are located at a corresponding place in the mop body 11, whereby they are matched together in the closed situation. Correspondingly, the second attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂ are located in such a way in the structure, that the attaching means 17a₁ are located in the rocking body's 14 rocking body-half A₂, and the attaching means 17a₂, which are matched together with them in the locking situation, are located in mop body 11.

[0017] The attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂ and the attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂ are preferably magnetic attaching means and thus they comprise magnets 16a₁, 16a₂; 17a₁, 17a₂ or a magnet and a piece of iron as the opposite attaching means.

[0018] The attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂; 17a₁, 17a₂ are preferably inside the body's 11, 14 body material, such as plastic. Thus, the attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂; 17a₁, 17a₂ are in a protected space and they will not be damaged, dropped out or be dirtied. The shaft 15 preferably functions both as the rocking body's 14 shaft and as one shaft for the arm's 12 articulation. The arm 12 is articulated to turn around axis x₁ and also around axis x₂, which is at right angles to the former, whereby the arm 12 is cardan-jointed.

[0019] A cleaning device M, such as, for example, a rag is placed in a gap K in between the rocking body's 14 second rocking body-half A₂ and the mop body 11, and then by affecting the rocking body 14 with the foot the second attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂ are pressed close together, whereby the magnet will keep them pressed together and the rag M is locked in between the rocking body's 14 half A₂ and the mop body 11. There are preferably several attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂ over the length of the mop body. When the rocking body 14 is pressed with the foot at the rocking body-half A₁, the first attaching means 16a₁, 16a₂, preferably magnetic attaching means, are pressed against each other and they are snapped close, whereby the gap K opens and the cleaning device, such as a cleaning rag M, is released. Thus, the rocking body 14 is always locked in either end position of the rocking motion by either attaching/locking means 16a₁, 16a₂ or 17a₁, 17a₂.

[0020] With the aid of attaching means 17a₁ and 17a₂, preferably magnetic attaching means, the cleaning device M is kept in gap K and locked in connection with the mop body 11, whereby the mop body 11 can be lifted without making the device M drop off. Thus, the device M need not be moved by hand.

[0021] All materials of the mop body 11 are preferably of plastic. It is also advantageous to make the components by casting.

[0022] In the attachment situation, the cleaning device M, such as a rag, is located pressed under the effect of magnetic means 17a₁, 17a₂ in between the rocking arm's 14 half A₂ and the mop body 11. There may preferably be two or preferably more second magnetic attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂ over the length of the rocking body 14 and the mop body. Correspondingly, there are preferably two or preferably more first attaching means 16a₁,16a₂, whereby it is possible to boost the attaching/locking effect of said attaching means.

[0023] The second attaching means 17a₁ are located in connection with the rocking body's 14 body part A₂ and the attaching means 17a₂ are located co-operatively with said attaching means 17a₁ in the mop body 11. Correspondingly, the first attaching means 16a₁ are located in rocking body's 14 rocking body-half A₁ and co-operatively with these the attaching means 16a₂ are located in the mop body 11. The attaching means 16a₁ and 16a₂ can be placed co-operatively and matching each other and, correspondingly, the attaching means 17a₁ and 17a₂ can be placed to match each other in the locking situation. On the bottom surface 11' of mop body there may be grooves 18 or other such, which will boost the cleaning ability of rag M.

[0024] Figure 3 shows a cleaning device, such as rag M, placed in between part A₂ of rocking body 14 and the mop body 11, whereby the gap K is closed and it is kept closed with the aid of the attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂. The attaching means 17a₁ and 17a₂ thus bring about that the gap is kept closed and the rag M is locked in gap K in between the rocking body-half A₂ and the mop body 11. In Figure 4, the rag M is folded under the mop body 11.

[0025] Figure 5 shows a step similar to Figure 3, in which the rag is placed in between rocking body's 14 half A₂ and the mop body 11 and the locking means 17a₁ and 17a₂ bring about locking and lock the rag M in gap K.

[0026] Figure 6 shows a step similar to Figure 4, in which the rag M is folded under the mop body 11, in which position cleaning with the mop is performed.

[0027] Figure 7 shows a line drawing of the cleaning implement 10 according to the invention. It can be seen in the figure, that by pressing with the foot on area A₁ the rocking body 14 is made to rotate carried by shaft 15 around the geometric axis X₁, whereby the gap K opens in between the rocking body's 14 area A₂ and the mop body 11, into which gap K a cleaning device such as rag M can be introduced.

[0028] Figure 8 shows the area B of Figure 7 on a larger scale. As is shown in Figure 8, the shaft 15 is placed through the entire structure in the lengthwise direction of mop 11 and through the through-holes of lugs 13a₁, 13a₂, whereby the shaft 15 will form a rocking shaft for the rocking body 14. By pressing on the area A₁ with the foot the area A₂ is lifted up and a gap K is formed in between the rocking body's 14 area A₂ and the mop body 11. Correspondingly, by pressing on the area A₂ with the foot the locking means/attaching means 17a₁, 17a₂, preferably magnetic means, are placed to match each other and the mop, its rocking body 14 is locked in a position, where the rag M is located in between the area A₂ and the mop body 11.

[0029] Figure 9 shows the mop body in the direction of arrow k₂ of Figure 7, that is, directly from the front. The shaft 15 is placed in the lengthwise direction of the mop body 11, and the rocking body 14 is bearing-mounted on said shaft. The shaft 15 is placed through the through-holes of lugs 13a₁, 13a₂. The lugs 13a₁, 13a₂ are preferably of the same cast structure as the mop body 11.

[0030] Figure 10 shows the area C of Figure 9 on a larger scale.

[0031] Figure 11A illustrates how the attaching means/locking means 16a₁, 16a₂; 17a₁, 17a₂ are placed in a cavity t₁ in the body 11 or 14 and how the cavity t₁ is then covered by a protecting cover t₂, which is welded to the body 11 or 14. The surface 11" or 14" thus becomes uniform and even, as is shown in Figure 11B. The attaching part 16a₁, 16a₂; 17a₁, 17a₂, such as a magnet, is protected inside the body 11, 14. The cover t₂ is preferably of the same material as the body part 11, 14, preferably of plastic.
