Floor treating device with sheepskin cover

A floor treating device comprising a head in the form of an elongated rigid block member including said bottom wall and said top wall, a first handle coupling and a second handle coupling on the top wall of said block member, a tubular tanned sheepskin sleeve consisting of a skin and an outer integral nap and snugly fitted over said member with the skin abutting the top wall and bottom wall and having a coupling opening aligned with one of said handle couplings, said sleeve including at least one open end, the coupling opening being aligned with one of said handle couplings and substantially the same size and shape as one of said handle couplings, said sleeve being formed from a folded sheepskin blank having at least one aligned longitudinal edge with a connecting element securing the skin and nap inwardly of the edges to form a seam, and a handle releasably secured to said one of said handle couplings to secure the sheepskin sleeve to the block and to provide stability to the location of the sleeve with the uninterrupted nap exposed from the bottom wall of said block-like member.

A floor treating device comprising a head in the form of an elongated block member, said head having a bottom wall and a top wall, a handle coupling on the top side of said block member, a tubular tanned sheepskin sleeve having an open end and snugly fitted over said block member and having an opening aligned with said handle coupling, a handle releasably secured to said handle coupling to secure the sleeve to the block member and provide stability to the location of the sleeve with the complete and uninterrupted nap exposed from the bottom wall of said block member, said sheepskin sleeve being formed from a single sheepskin blank having aligned longitudinal edges, means securing said longitudinal edges to each other in spaced relation to the edges and thereby forming a projecting seam engaging said block member.

A floor treating device comprising a rigid wooden block having a top wall and a bottom wall, said bottom wall having a length and a width defining a floor treating area, a tubular sheepskin sleeve having an open end and close fitted over said wooden block and formed by at least one blank of tanned sheepskin and said blank having at least one longitudinal seam extending throughout the length of said block and defining said tubular sleeve and having said seam spaced from said bottom wall, said top wall of said wooden block having a handle coupling unit, said sheepskin sleeve having an opening aligned with said handle coupling unit, a handle releasably secured to said handle coupling unit and forming an interlock with said sleeve to stabilize the sleeve on said wooden block.

A sheepskin sleeve for releasable coupling to the head of floor treating device, said head comprising a substantially block element having a top wall and a spaced bottom wall, said top wall having a handle coupler for releasably holding a handle extending therefrom, said sheepskin sleeve being formed with the original skin and outer nap comprising a tubular sheepskin sleeve having an internal diameter substantially corresponding to the external configuration of said block element for snug fitting onto said block element, said tubular sheepskin being formed from at least one sheepskin blank having aligned edges extending therethrough the length of the block element and a means connecting said sheepskin blank inwardly of said edges forming an interconnected longitudinal seam and having an opening for alignment with said coupler and handle for stabilizing the tubular sheepskin to said head and said sheepskin sleeve having an uninterrupted bottom nap surface when assembled on said block element, said opening being substantially of the shape and size of said handle coupler.
