A multi-purpose mop. The multi-purpose mop may comprise a mop head, which may have a plurality of bristles on a first side, a squeegee on an opposite side, and a fabric attachment portion on a bottom face.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A multipurpose mop, comprising:
a mop head; wherein said mop head comprises a plurality of bristles on a first side of said mop head, and one or more fabric attachment portions on a bottom face of said mop head.
2 . The multipurpose mop of claim 1 , wherein said mop head further comprises an attachment portion.
wherein said attachment portion is located substantially at a center of a top surface of said mop head.
3 . The multipurpose mop of claim 2 , wherein said attachment portion comprises a variable angle connector and a locking mechanism.
4 . The multipurpose mop of claim 3 , wherein said mop head further comprises a restraining mechanism configured to restrain said variable angle connector relative to said mop head.
5 . The multipurpose mop of claim 4 , wherein said first side and a second side are located opposite to one another on said mop head;
wherein said variable angle connector allows said multipurpose mop to have a plurality of utility configurations; wherein said plurality of utility configurations comprise a bristles down configuration and a mopping configuration.
6 . The multipurpose mop of claim 5 , wherein when in said bristles down configuration, a distal end of said variable angle connector faces in the direction of said second side of said mop head.
7 . The multipurpose mop of claim 6 , wherein when in said bristles down configuration, said variable angle connector is releaseably restrained by said restraining mechanism.
8 . The multipurpose mop of claim 5 , wherein when in said mopping configuration, said variable angle connector faces between the direction of said second side of said mop head and said first side of said mop head.
9 . The multipurpose mop of claim 5 , wherein said mop head comprises a squeegee on said second side of said mop head.
10 . The multipurpose mop of claim 9 , wherein said plurality of utility configurations further comprise a squeegee down configuration;
wherein when in said squeegee down configuration, a distal end of said variable angle connector faces in the direction of said first side of said mop head.
11 . The multipurpose mop of claim 10 , wherein when in said squeegee down configuration, said variable angle connector is releaseably restrained by said restraining mechanism.
12 . The multipurpose mop of claim 11 , wherein said plurality of bristles and said squeegee are made from rubber.
13 . The multipurpose mop of claim 12 , wherein said plurality of bristles are substantially flat, parallel, and staggered with respect to one another.
14 . The multipurpose mop of claim 3 , further comprising a handle;
wherein said mop head is configured to be removeably attachable to said handle via said attachment portion.
15 . The multipurpose mop of claim 14 , wherein said handle comprises a locking mechanism receiver.
16 . The multipurpose mop of claim 15 , wherein said locking mechanism comprises a stopper biased outward.
17 . The multipurpose mop of claim 16 , wherein said stopper and said locking mechanism receiver are shaped such that said stopper biased outward is receivable by said locking mechanism receiver.
18 . The multipurpose mop of claim 14 , further comprising a dustpan;
wherein said dustpan is contoured such that said dustpan is configured to grip onto said handle for storage.
19 . A multipurpose mop, comprising:
a mop head; a dustpan; and a handle; wherein said mop head comprises a plurality of bristles on a first side of said mop head, a squeegee on a second side of said mop head, and a fabric attachment portion on a bottom face of said mop head; wherein said first side and said second side are located opposite to one another on said mop head; wherein said mop head further comprises an attachment portion; wherein said attachment portion is located substantially towards a center of a top surface of said mop head; wherein said attachment portion comprises a variable angle connector and a locking mechanism; wherein said mop head further comprises a restraining mechanism configured to restrain said variable angle connector relative to said mop head; wherein said variable angle connector allows for a plurality of utility configurations;
wherein said plurality of utility configurations comprises a bristles down configuration, a mopping configuration, and a squeegee down configuration;
wherein when in said bristles down configuration, a distal end of said variable angle connector faces in the direction of said second side of said mop head; wherein when in said bristles down configuration, said variable angle connector is releaseably restrained by said restraining mechanism; wherein when in said mopping configuration, said variable angle connector faces between the direction of said second side of said mop head and said first side of said mop head; wherein when in said squeegee down configuration, a distal end of said variable angle connector faces in the direction of said first side of said mop head; wherein when in said squeegee down configuration, said variable angle connector is releaseably restrained by said restraining mechanism; wherein said mop head is configured to be removeably attachable to said handle via said attachment portion; wherein said handle comprises a locking mechanism receiver; wherein said locking mechanism comprises a stopper biased outward; wherein said stopper and said locking mechanism receiver are shaped such that said stopper biased outward is receivable by said locking mechanism receiver; wherein said dustpan is contoured such that said dustpan is configured to grip said handle for storage.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
