Definitions

  • the scope of application of the invention concerns a cloth for cleaning, in particular a cleaning cloth that has two active cleaning surfaces.
  • the cleaning sector can be divided into dry cleaning and wet cleaning.
  • Dry cleaning signifies cleaning that does not require any detergent or wetting of the cleaning cloth, because they collect the dry dirt.
  • This collection can be carried out with a normal cleaning broom, but increasingly a cloth is laid on the floor and held by a respective mop base.
  • the cleaning operations carried out using the collection of dirt with a normal broom has the drawback of raising a considerable part of the dirt as dust, which remains in the air for a long time, to later settle on the ground again, thereby thwarting the cleaning operations.
  • the dirt is removed in a mechanical manner, with possible rubbing so that it can be dissolved and/or detached from the floor.
  • microfiber cloths For this purpose, the adoption of microfiber cloths has proven particularly useful.
  • the amount of solution used is calibrated with the right percentage of detergent beforehand according to the amount of dirt that needs to be removed.
  • the operator therefore prefers to have not only cloths suited to cleaning, but also retention bases, spare storage, collection and disposal sacks one specifically for dry cleaning and one for wet cleaning.
  • the operator is forced at each change of the type of cleaning to return to the work station, which is very often a cleaning trolley parked not far from the cleaning place, in order to change the cloth and tools, and then return to the place where he was before the cleaning operations were interrupted, to restart with the new type of cleaning.
  • the floor needs to be immediately dried after it has been washed, so as not to compromise the washing that has just been carried out, but also to prevent people slipping on the wet floor and hurting themselves.
  • This solution proposed a cloth that was the same size as two standard cloths, with the first half kept dry against a first surface of a base, and a second half, kept damp with detergent against a second surface of the same base, where said base can be worked on both sides.
  • said cloth with a double extension could not be treated differently on each side, for example just wetting one half, but had to be treated as a single cloth.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that is similar to and can be used like other current cloths it replaces.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that can be used on a normal base, replacing the traditional cleaning cloths.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that can be easily made and that is inexpensive.
  • a still further object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that can be used for dry cleaning or brushing, as well as for wet cleaning without the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • Another object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth where the dry cleaning phase is not influenced by the wet cleaning and vice-versa.
  • An additional object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that can easily be wet beforehand.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that provides a quick change of cleaning mode from sweeping or drying to washing and vice-versa.
  • An even further object of this invention is to make available a cleaning cloth that provides greater work autonomy than a traditional cloth.
  • the object of the invention consists of a cleaning cloth comprising a first surface for cleaning to which at least part of the perimeter or edge a second cleaning surface is solidly joined in a symmetrical way, and comprising, between said first and second surface, an impermeable or semi-impermeable laminar element held to at least said part of the perimeter or edge.
  • a cloth is obtained where there is a specific material for each surface of the cloth to carry out a particular function.
  • a further advantage consists of the fact that the wetting of a surface does not affect the dry state of the opposite surface, because said laminar element between them is impermeable.
  • Another advantage consists of the fact that the wetting of a first surface with a first liquid does not affect the wetting of a second surface that is opposite to the first with a second liquid.
  • a further advantage of this invention consists of the fact that there is a complete compartmentalisation between the opposed surfaces.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that there are no holes in the laminar partition element due to the passage of the sewing thread, because the joint is created through sealing and/or bonding.
  • This method of joining the two, sealing and/or bonding, between the laminar partition element to the outer surfaces might be useful that it is of the continuous type without interruptions, creating an airtight compartmentalisation between the two sides of the cloth with the adoption of a waterproof laminar element, or else with spaced stitching, maintaining a flexibility comparable to that of sewn cloths.
  • the joint is not made along the edge but at least partly inside the surrounding perimeter, limiting the free extensions between the sealing points, and rendering the cloth more robust.
  • said coupling elements are one or more elements that protrude from the joint edge, without having to join another element to the cloth with the functions of coupling to the mop base.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that the cleaning cloth is flat and continuous, and suitable for being wet only on one surface, while the opposite surface is kept dry.
  • Another type of benefit comes from the possibility of inserting between the laminar element and a cleaning surface, preferably the cleaning surface that is to be wet, a layer of absorbent material, capable of absorbing and releasing a certain amount of liquid, acting as a water or detergent storage, to facilitate and prolong the cleaning operations.
  • the semi-permeable filter or osmotic membrane acts as a filter, but allowing the passage of water, increases the work autonomy and allows further cleaning operations to be carried out, after having collected the excess dirty water from the floor with a rinse, carried out with the other cleaning surface, wet or dampened with a clean liquid.
  • fig. 1 shows perspective view of a cleaning cloth according to the invention, composed of a double surface, joined along a longitudinal edge by stitching.
  • fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the cleaning cloth according to the invention where the overlapping of the cleaning surfaces with an interposed laminar element, all the perimeter edges joined by sealing and/or bonding.
  • fig. 3 shows a sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the object, where there is an absorbent element for storing and keeping the cleaning liquid and all the perimeter edges are joined by means of sealing and/or bonding.
  • fig. 4 shows the object of the invention with external coupling tabs that are part of only one surface layer that make up the cloth.
  • the cleaning cloth 1 the object of the invention, has a dimension in a plan view similar to a traditional cleaning cloth.
  • edges 2 of this compound cleaning cloth 1 can be either stitched, using stitching 8, but much more beneficially are joined by means of sealing 7 and/or bonding, both in a continual manner as well as by spaced stitches.
  • the cleaning cloth 1 of the invention externally, therefore, looks like a cleaning cloth with two active cleaning surfaces 3, 4, one for each of the two sides.
  • each surface 3, 4 has a specific function, like for example washing and drying, or else sweeping and washing.
  • Said interposed laminar element 5 can be impermeable, creating an airtight compartmentalisation between the two sides of the cloth, or else semi-impermeable, like a filter passing clean water but retaining dirt.
  • a cloth 1, which can easily be obtained with the above-mentioned methods, is particularly useful and effective in combination with a mop base that allows both surfaces to be used, eventually without detaching and rotating to then re-attach the above-mentioned cleaning cloth 1 with a double active surface.
  • sealing 7 which stiffens the edges 2, preventing the weft near the ends of the surfaces 3, 4 from unravelling because of wear or deterioration.
  • stiffened edges 2 can beneficially be used in combination with a mop base that can engage the cloth 1 along its longitudinal edge.
  • At least one layer 3, 4, 5 of the surfaces that make up the cloth 1 of the invention extends externally beyond the joint edge 2 to create one or more tabs 9 or another coupling device, suited to being retained by the base to which the cloth is joined.
  • Said absorbent element 6 beneficially extends as a laminar element adjacent to the inner side of the active cleaning surface, the one that will be wet.
  • the store of liquid accumulated by this absorbing element 6 therefore allows work autonomy to be increased, maintaining the cloth 1 sufficiently damp for an lengthy and prolonged cleaning operation, with the regulated release of the absorbed liquid, without these prolonged operations requiring the cloth 1 to be excessively dampened with the risk of dripping and the excessive release of liquid, especially in the initial phases of the cleaning operations.
