Abstract
An apparatus for horizontal surface cleaning includes a cleaning head for engaging horizontal surfaces to be cleaned, a handle pivotally engaging the cleaning head for grasping during horizontal surface cleaning, and a tank affixed to the handle and pivotal therewith relative to the cleaning head. The tank is adapted to contain a surface cleaning liquid. The handle and tank have together an upright orientation during storage and a tilted orientation during horizontal surface cleaning The tank includes a valve that closes during the upright orientation to prevent the liquid from exiting the tank, and opens during the tilted orientation to allow the liquid to exit the tank. The tilted orientation is caused during horizontal surface cleaning
Claims19
An apparatus for horizontal surface cleaning, comprising;
- a tank adapted for containing a surface cleaning liquid and having an upright orientation during storage and a tilted orientation during horizontal surface cleaning, and
- a gravity-actuated valve cooperating with the tank to prevent the liquid from exiting the tank during the upright orientation and allowing the liquid to exit the tank during the tilted orientation;
- wherein
- horizontal surface cleaning requires the tank to assume the tilted orientation.
An apparatus for horizontal surface cleaning, comprising;
- a cleaning head for engaging horizontal surfaces to be cleaned;
- a handle pivotally engaging the cleaning head for grasping during horizontal surface cleaning;
- a tank affixed to the handle and pivotal therewith relative to the cleaning head, the tank adapted to contain a surface cleaning liquid;
- wherein
- the handle and tank have together an upright orientation during storage and a tilted orientation during horizontal surface cleaning, and
- the tank comprises a valve that closes during the upright orientation to prevent the liquid from exiting the tank, and opens during the tilted orientation to allow the liquid to exit the tank;
