Abstract:
A surface cleaning substrate, which is essentially dry and loaded with a cleaning composition, which may very suitably be stored and transported in its dry form and which may be activated for surface cleaning by simple addition of a carrier, such as water. A method for the manufacture of such a loaded dry substrate, and to the method of surface cleaning using such a loaded dry substrate is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A fluid flow assembly includes a storage container connected to a fluid coupling and retaining cylinder. The connection is secured by a bayonet connection and walls between the bases of the container and cylinder. The storage container has a ball valve assembly disposed at its base, which includes an upper housing, a lower extension, and a ball valve axially disposed therein. The cylinder includes an axial hollow elongate fluid outlet on the base, co-axially aligned with an outlet port of the ball valve assembly of the container. The upper portion of the fluid outlet is a male coupling, which penetrates into the outlet port, when the container is connected to the cylinder, and axially displaces a valve ball from its closed position into an open position, enabling fluid flowing thru the ball valve assembly of the storage container, into the hollow fluid outlet of the cylinder, and downstream of it.

Abstract:
An intelligent cleaning mop is disclosed, which includes a support shaft, a flat mophead connected to the support shaft, a cleaning pad detachably secured to the mophead, a reservoir, a sprayer for spraying cleaning fluid from the reservoir, a power supply device, a sensor for counting the number of times that the mophead oscillates, and a controller which enables deactivation of the sprayer when a predetermined criterion is meet. The intelligent cleaning mop further includes a port for downloading data and a key adaptor for local activation of the mop. The cleaning pad includes one or more microchips for providing ID and recording usage cycles. Further disclosed is an advanced data controlled cleaning system including a plurality of the intelligent mops and information-technology (IT) system. The IT system includes monitoring stations and/or central station, which communicates with the controllers and monitors usage of the intelligent mops and cleaning activities.

Abstract:
An advanced data controlled cleaning system that consists of cleaning tools, cleaning mops and information-technology (IT) solutions. The system uses sensors to detect the presence of a cleaning mop in a room. The sensors communicate with an IT system which monitors the rooms in which the cleaning mop is used, the time that the cleaning mop entered the room, and the length of time that the cleaning mop remained in the room. The cleaning mop includes a motion sensor to monitor how often the mop head is swept back and forth across the floor. This motion information is used to ensure that the proper amount to work is performed in each room. The system also ensures that the mophead is itself cleaned at the proper time by counting the number of times the mophead is swept across the floor. The system provides cleaning fluid to the mophead based on usage, and stops application of cleaning fluid when the mophead itself requires service.
Abstract:
A cleaning device includes a support shaft; a retaining plate connected to a distal end of the support shaft by pivot elements; a cleaning pad detachably secured to a lower surface of the retaining plate; a fluid reservoir attached to the support shaft; and a flat jet spray assembly secured upon the upper surface of the retaining plate within its perimeter. The flat jet spray assembly includes a spray head having a securing flange with an inclined base at the rear portion; and a front portion having a slot-shaped spray jet outlet being open at side edges and a channel around a center of, and in perpendicular to, the slot-shaped spray jet outlet; a spray nozzle disposed within the channel, which has a horizontal emission slit; and a fluid feed tubing connected between the fluid reservoir and the spray nozzle.
