Abstract

A rotary mop with enhanced water-wringing effect, including a handle; a slide sleeve fitted on the handle, the slide sleeve being rotatable about and movable along the handle; a mop cloth, one end of the mop cloth being connected with a bottom end of the slide sleeve, while the other end of the mop cloth being connected with a bottom end of the handle, when rotating the handle and the slide sleeve relative to each other, the mop cloth is wrung. The mop further has a rotary tube fitted on the handle and rotatable about the handle. When wringing and tensioning the mop cloth, the mop cloth binds the rotary tube, not the handle. Therefore, the slide sleeve and the handle can effectively wring and dry the mop cloth with less strength.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A rotary mop with enhanced water-wringing effect, comprising:
 a handle;   a slide sleeve fitted on the handle, the slide sleeve being rotatable about and movable along the handle; and   a mop cloth, one end of the mop cloth being connected with a bottom end of the slide sleeve, while the other end of the mop cloth being connected with a bottom end of the handle, whereby when rotating the handle and the slide sleeve relative to each other, the mop cloth is wrung; the rotary mop being characterized in that the rotary mop further comprises:   at least one rotary tube fitted on the handle and rotatable about the handle, the rotary tube being positioned between the slide sleeve and the handle, whereby when wringing and tensioning the mop cloth, the mop cloth binds the rotary tube.   
   
   
       2 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the slide sleeve has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the handle, whereby a receiving space is defined between the slide sleeve and the handle, the receiving space having an opening directed downward, whereby when the slide sleeve is moved to the bottom end of the handle, the rotary tube enters the receiving space. 
   
   
       3 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the rotary tube is fitted on the handle without upward extending through the slide sleeve. 
   
   
       4 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least two rotary tubes are fitted on the handle and arranged along an axis of the handle, the rotary tubes being independently rotatable about the handle. 
   
   
       5 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein at least two rotary tubes are fitted on the handle and arranged along an axis of the handle, the rotary tubes being independently rotatable about the handle. 
   
   
       6 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the slide sleeve is fitted on both the rotary tube and the handle. 
   
   
       7 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the rotary tube has a length approximately equal to that of the handle. 
   
   
       8 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       9 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       10 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       11 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       12 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       13 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       14 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the rotary tube is formed with a predetermined number of vents. 
   
   
       15 . The rotary mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a force arm section is disposed at a top end of the handle on one side thereof.
