Floor cleaning system
Abstract
The system is based on a roller ( 2 ) installed on a structure with two containers, one located above the other, such that the rotation of the roller ( 2 ) as it rests on the floor collects particles and liquids, sending the particles into the first container ( 1 ) where they are stored, while a squeezing element ( 9 ) squeezes the liquids collected by the roller into the second container ( 1′ ). Water is applied to the roller ( 2 ) from an upper tank ( 7 ) which discharges via a nozzle with a type of scraper ( 8 ) to prevent the roller ( 2 ) from rotating in the opposite direction and to clean off any particles stuck to it. At the top and rear of the container ( 1 ) there are flexible bristles ( 17 ) or mop strips that act as a broom and/or mop in the inverted position after turning and hinging the assembly. The assembly has a rotating handle ( 18 ) and a skid ( 13 ) to overcome obstacles and differences in levels.
Claims

10 . Floor cleaning system, designed for sweeping, collecting and washing a floor surface, comprising:
a first container tank to collect and store the dirt collected from the floor itself, the front of this first container having a rotating roller which rests on the floor itself and as it rotates gathers impurities and liquids with a ramp on the front of the container, a second container on the first container to receive the liquids absorbed by the roller; with a tank at the top containing clean water with soap that discharges in a nozzle to apply clean water on the side surface of the roller itself, there also being in this container means of squeezing, such as a small roller or a flat surface which in any of these cases is arranged such that it rests on the roller to squeeze the water out of it into the second container and to clean off the particles stuck to it; and wherein the first container has an extension on its front side as a flat support section designed to act horizontally on the flat surface to be cleaned with a skid with a curved, concave upturned profile on the front to overcome small obstacles or differences in level, this skid having oblique and diverging sections to channel the particles to the first container.
11 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the container has a lower surface equipped with material to dry and clean the surface of the floor left behind the roller as it turns and cleans the floor.
12 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the rear of the container includes a blade to clean the skirting boards, walls and similar places.
13 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the roller is of spongy, flexible and plain material and with a continuous body to absorb liquids and any particles and/or dirt.
14 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the flexible and/or absorbent bristles on the rear and top of the container to allow the assembly to act as a broom and/or mop, after lifting, hinging and inverting the container, with these bristles resting on the floor.
15 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the mounting and rotation axle of the roller there is a rotating handle which can be fitted and removed.
16 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the start of the skid has a slot into which an element on the handle can be locked when the container is lifted, hinged and inverted for use as a mop and/or broom.
17 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the containers are assisted by their lids to extract particles and liquids collected in each of them.
18 . Floor cleaning system according to claim 10 , wherein the roller has a groove into which a lateral rib inside the container is fitted to prevent the exit of the liquids collected by the roller itself.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
