Floor cleaning apparatus with integrated dispensing and containment rolls

A manual floor cleaning apparatus, comprising:

• a frame;
• a dispensing roller mounted to the frame and carrying a roll of cleaning media thereon;
• a collection roller mounted to the frame for collecting the cleaning media in a roll form once the cleaning media has transitioned across a cleaning surface of the frame positioned between the dispensing roller and the collection roller;
• an actuation arrangement carried by the frame and connected between the dispensing roller and the collection roller and operable to simultaneously rotate the dispensing roller and the collection roller to advance the cleaning media from the dispensing roller to the collection roller;
• and
• further comprising a handle and a grip slidably mounted to the handle, the grip mechanically coupled to the actuation arrangement.

A manual floor cleaning apparatus, comprising:

• a frame;
• a roll arrangement carried by the frame and carrying replaceable cleaning media, the roll arrangement mounted to the frame such that the cleaning media extends across a cleaning support surface of the frame;
• and
• a one-way advancing mechanism connected to the roll arrangement and adapted to rotate the roll arrangement to move the cleaning media across the cleaning support surface in a first direction and prevent movement of the cleaning media across the cleaning support surface in a second direction opposite the first direction;
• wherein the roll arrangement includes a dispensing roller and a collection roller, the one way advancing mechanism mechanically coupling the dispensing roller and the collection roller to rotate the dispensing and collection rollers in the first direction;
• and
• wherein the one-way advancing mechanism includes a drive train and a follower mechanism, the drive train mechanically coupling a drive shaft of the roll arrangement and the collection roller, and the follower mechanism mechanically coupling the collection roller and the dispensing roller.

A manual floor cleaning apparatus, comprising:

• a frame;
• a handle mounted to the frame;
• a first roller mounted to the frame and carrying a roll of cleaning media thereon;
• a second roller mounted to the frame and adapted to wind up the cleaning media from the first roller;
• a third roller interposed between the first and second rollers and mechanically coupled to the second roller;
• and
• a sliding grip slidably coupled to the handle and mechanically coupled to the third roller, wherein movement of the sliding grip along the handle in a first direction causes the first and second rollers to rotate in a first rotational direction, and the third roller to rotate in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, and movement of the sliding grip along the handle in a second direction opposite the first direction causes the third roller to rotate in a third rotational direction opposite the second rotational direction, with the first and second rollers remaining fixed relative to the third roller.
