Self draining mop system
US-8566997-B2Abstract
The mop has a hollow pole ( 1 ) the center of which has a piston ( 3 ) which is activated from the outside with a movable grip ( 6 ), so that said piston ( 3 ) may reduce the elevation of a pressure chamber ( 4 ) established in the lower area of the pole ( 1 ), which communicates directly with a push cylinder ( 10 ) with a larger diameter, which reinforces said pole at the bottom and in the center of which works a push plunger ( 13 ) which supports the head ( 24 ) the mop cloth ( 25 ), also actuating said push plunger ( 13 ) on a pair of side cams ( 16 ) which when resting adjust on the exterior to the push cylinder ( 12 ) but that in the initial downward movement phase of the plunger ( 13 ) they tilt outward locking into a perimeter tab ( 18 ) of the wringer opening ( 19 ) also part of the opening of the bucket that holds the water, so that the tendency of the pole ( 1 ) reversing during the wringing phase is eliminated by locking said pole ( 1 ) to the wringer ( 19 ) using the mentioned tab ( 18 ) of the latter. The manual effort needed to wring the mop cloth ( 25 ) is therefore drastically reduced.
