Abstract
A dust mop frame that includes an elongate body member having a first elongate face and an opposed second elongate face. The elongate body member includes a central body region and at least one projection. The at least one projection has a first region that is connected to the planar central body region, a central region extending angularly outward from the first region at an orientation parallel to the longitudinal axis and an outer terminal edge. The outer terminal edge of the projection is oriented upward relative to the second elongate face of the central body region when the dust mop frame is in the use position. The dust mop also includes at least one handle attachment member connected to the first elongate face; and at least one mop head bundle attachment mechanism connected to the second elongate face.
Claims19
A dust mop frame, the dust mop frame comprising:
- an elongate body member, the elongate body member having a first elongate face and a second elongate face opposed to the first elongate face, the elongate body member including:
- a central body region having a length and defining a longitudinal axis and a width transverse to the longitudinal axis, the central body region having a first central body face and an opposed second central body face, and
- at least one projection having a first region contiguously connected to the central body region in fixed relation thereto, the at least one projection having a central region extending angularly outward from the first region and connected to the first region at an orientation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the central body region and an outer terminal edge, wherein the outer terminal edge is oriented upward relative to the first central body face when the dust mop frame is in a use position, wherein the at least one projection is immovable relative to the central body region and forms an angle with the central body, the angle having a value between 100° and 175° as measured from the second central body face and the central region of the at least one projection, wherein the at least one projection and the central body region form a solid junction region;
- at least one handle attachment member connected to the second elongate face of the elongate body;
- and
- at least one mop head bundle attachment mechanism connected to first elongate face of the elongate body.
A dust mop frame, the dust mop frame comprising:
- an elongate body member, the elongate body member having a first elongate face and a second elongate face opposed to the first elongate face, the elongate body member including:
- a planar central body region having a length and a width WB transverse to the longitudinal axis, the central body region having a first central body face and an opposed second central body face, and
- at least two projections, each projection having a first region contiguously and fixedly connected to the central body region in a fixed relationship thereto, a central region extending angularly outward from the first region connected to the first region at an orientation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the central body region and an outer terminal edge, wherein the outer terminal edge is oriented upward relative to the first central body face when the dust mop frame is in a use position, each projection having a width WP that is less than WB wherein the central body region is positioned between the at least two projections;
- at least one handle attachment member connected to the second elongate face of the elongate body;
- at least one mop head bundle attachment mechanism connected to first elongate face of the elongate body;
- and
- at least one mop head bundle, the mop head bundle comprising a substrate having a first face and an opposed second face, the substrate having dimensions sufficient to overlay at least a portion of the first elongate face of the elongate body member, wherein the first face of the substrate is proximate to the first elongate face of the elongate body member and the second face of the substrate member has a debris collecting surface, wherein the debris collecting surface is composed of a pile region, the pile region including tufts of at least one of cut loop pile or loop pile, the mop head bundle further comprising additional regions, the addition regions each configured to overlie an associated projection, the additional regions each being composed of cut loop pile or loop pile.
