In another embodiment of the invention, the cleaning pad has attachment structure for mounting the pad onto a butterfly mop and in another embodiment of the invention, the cleaning pad has attachment structure for mounting the pad onto a roller mop.
A mop having a handle with a wringing frame disposed at a distal end, which defines a cam slot. An actuator lever is pivotally attached to the handle intermediate the distal and proximal ends and is coupled to an actuator linkage that extends into the internal hollow of the handle and connects to a pad plate, which supports a cleaning pad, such as a sponge thereon at the distal end of the mop. The pad plate has hinges that permit it to bend upon itself. When the actuator lever is moved to wring the cleaning pad, the actuator linkage pulls the pad plate at least partially through the cam slot, causing it to bend at the hinges and wring the cleaning pad supported thereon.
A handle for an implement for cleaning a surface, such as a floor, includes an elongated pole, an end cap and a hang cap. The elongated pole has a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end of the elongated pole is adapted to be coupled to a cleaning head on the implement. The end cap is fixedly mounted over the top end of the pole and the hang cap is movably mounted over the end cap. The end cap and hang cap are constructed so that when the hang cap is mounted in place on the end cap, the hang cap can rotate relative to the end cap but cannot move up or down relative to the end cap. This construction includes a pair of lateral grooves on the outer surface of the end cap and a pair of lateral ribs on the inner surface of the hang cap which are in registration with the lateral grooves on the end cap when the hang cap is mounted over the end cap. The hang cap has a hole for removably mounting the implement on a hook attached to a wall. In one version of the handle, the hang cap is shaped straight while in another version of the implement the hang cap is angled (i.e. bent). Since the hang cap can be rotated relative to the end cap and the end cap is fixed relative to the elongated pole, the pole can easily be rotated relative to the hang cap so that cleaning the head is at the proper orientation against the wall on which the hook is mounted.
A disposable liquid absorbing cleaning pad for a hand held cleaning implement having an elongated handle includes a layer of sponge material, a layer of flexible open cell foam material made from melamine resin fixedly attached to the layer of sponge material and attachment structure fixedly secured to the layer of sponge material for removably attaching the cleaning pad to the cleaning implement. In one embodiment of the invention the attachment structure includes a backing plate which is fixedly mounted onto the layer of sponge material and a pair of wing screw assemblies which are removably and slidably mounted on the backing plate for removably attaching the cleaning pad to the cleaning implement. In using the hand held cleaning implement the layer of flexible open cell foam material made from melamine resin is the layer that contacts the surface to be cleaned.
A lint roller assembly having a holder with a handle and a lint roller support section longitudinally adjacent each other. The lint roller support section is adapted to rotatably support a tubular cylindrical lint removal roller. A tubular cylindrical rigid roller cover is open at one end and dimensioned to be positioned over the roller so that the cover entirely encloses the roller. A latch in the cover automatically engages a catch on the holder as the cover is longitudinally inserted over the holder to detachably lock the cover and holder together.
A lint roller holder having a pair of elongated housing parts which are substantially identical to each other. Each housing part includes an elongated handle section and semi-cylindrical lint roller support section which is longitudinally adjacent the handle section. The housing parts are secured together in a facing relationship, such that an outer peripheral edge of both of said semi-cylindrical lint roller support and said handle sections abut against each other to form both a cylindrical lint roller support and a handle. The outer peripheral edges of the housing parts are then secured together by ultrasonic welding. Each housing part also includes at least one cut-out in the semi-cylindrical lint roller support section to reduce raw material usage requirements.

A display holder for a tubular cylindrical roll, such as a lint roller. The holder includes a planar main section constructed of a flexible material as well as a roll support which is pivotally mounted to the lower end of the main body between an operable position and a collapsed position. In its operable position, the roll support extends outwardly from the main body and supports the lower end of a roll inserted over the main body. Conversely, in its collapsed position, the roll support folds flatly against the main body for shipping and high density packing.
A wash bag assembly for washing delicate wash items having a container which defines an interior chamber. The container is constructed of a water-permeable material. A separator wall extends through the interior chamber and divides the interior chamber into a first and second subchamber. A first closure selectively provides access to the first subchamber for the insertion and removal of at least one wash item while, similarly, a second closure selectively provides access into the second subchamber for the insertion and removal of at least one wash item.
An adhesive roller for detritus removal having an elongated strip where the strip has both a backing layer and an adhesive layer overlying and covering a first side of the backing layer. The strip also has a first end, a second end and two spaced apart sides. The strip is wound from its first end and to its second end into a tubular cylindrical roller with the adhesive layer facing outwardly. An adhesive release coating also overlies at least a portion of a second side of the backing layer. The adhesive release coating may be either applied as a liquid coating, or may be a solid substrate. This adhesive release coating facilitates removal of individual sheets from the roller. Alternatively, a portion of the backing layer is crimped to form alternating peaks and valleys along at least a portion of the backing layer. These alternating peaks and valleys limit the amount of areal contact between the backing layer and the next inner adhesive layer of the roller to facilitate removal of individual sheets from the roller.
