Abstract

An all-in-one multi-functional implement that mops a floor in any direction without rotating the implement, is wrung outable, sweeps the floor in any direction without rotating the implement, and scrubs the floor from any direction without rotating the implement. The all-in-one multi-functional implement includes a handle, a mop head, and a broom and scrubber head. The handle has a longitudinal axis. The mop head is affixed to the handle and mops the floor in the any direction without rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis thereof. The broom and scrubber head is affixed to the handle, sweeps the floor in the any direction without rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis thereof, and scrubs the floor from the any direction without rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis thereof.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . An all-in-one multi-functional implement for mopping a floor in any direction without rotating said implement, for wringing out the mopping, for sweeping the floor in any direction without rotating said implement, and for scrubbing the floor in any direction without rotating said implement, said all-in-one multi-functional implement comprising:
 a) a handle;   b) a mop head; and   c) a broom and scrubber head;   wherein said handle has a longitudinal axis;   wherein said mop head is affixed to said handle;   wherein said mop head is for mopping the floor in any direction without rotating said handle about said longitudinal axis thereof;   wherein said broom and scrubber head is affixed to said handle;   wherein said broom and scrubber head is for sweeping the floor in any direction without rotating said handle about said longitudinal axis thereof; and   wherein said broom and scrubber head is for scrubbing the floor in any direction without rotating said handle about said longitudinal axis thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , further comprising a wringer assembly; and
 wherein said wringer assembly is for wringing out the mopping.   
     
     
         3 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 2 , wherein said wringer assembly selectively exposes said broom and scrubber head. 
     
     
         4 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has a longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         5 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said handle is slender. 
     
     
         6 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said handle is elongated. 
     
     
         7 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has a proximal end. 
     
     
         8 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has a distal end. 
     
     
         9 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 8 , wherein said broom and scrubber head is fixedly attached to said distal end of said handle. 
     
     
         10 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said mop head is movably mounted up and down said handle, and thereby having an up position and a down position, respectively. 
     
     
         11 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said mop head is concentric with said handle. 
     
     
         12 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 1 , wherein said mop head is concentric with said broom and scrubber head. 
     
     
         13 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 10 , wherein said mop head is disposed completely outside and around said broom and scrubber head so when said mop head is in said down position thereof only said mop head touches said floor, and when said mop head is in said up position thereof only said broom and scrubber head touch the floor. 
     
     
         14 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 10 , wherein when said mop head is in said down position thereof, said broom and scrubber head is hidden from view, and when said mop head is in said up position thereof, said broom and scrubber head is visible for use. 
     
     
         15 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 2 , wherein said wringer assembly comprises a spring-loaded button. 
     
     
         16 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 15 , wherein said spring-loaded button of said wringer assembly is operationally disposed on said handle. 
     
     
         17 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 15 , wherein said spring-loaded button of said wringer assembly is operationally disposed on said handle, approximately midway therealong. 
     
     
         18 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 15 , wherein said wringer assembly comprises a collar. 
     
     
         19 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 18 , wherein said collar of said wringer assembly is fixedly attached to said mop head. 
     
     
         20 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 18 , wherein said collar of said wringer assembly is free to move up and down said handle. 
     
     
         21 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 18 , wherein said collar of said wringer assembly has a through bore. 
     
     
         22 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 21 , wherein said through bore of said collar of said wringer assembly extends radially therethrough. 
     
     
         23 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 21 , wherein said through bore of said collar of said wringer assembly selectively receives said spring-loaded button of said wringer assembly. 
     
     
         24 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 21 , when said broom and scrubber head is to be used, said collar of said wringer assembly is pulled up said handle until said through bore of said collar of said wringer assembly receives said spring-loaded button of said wringer assembly, locking in place. 
     
     
         25 . The all-in-one multi-functional implement of  claim 21 , when said mop head is for wringing out, said spring-loaded button of said wringer assembly is pressed in, releasing said spring-loaded button of said wringer assembly from said through bore of said collar of said wringer assembly, unlocking said collar of said wringer assembly, to thereby allow said collar of said wringer assembly to be rotated relative to said handle taking said mop head with said collar of said wringer assembly and wringing said mop head out.
