Abstract:
The invention relates generally to an improved mop having A support arm having a handle, a mop head that is pivotally attached to said support arm, a pair of rollers disposed in said mop head, a cleaning pad rotatably carried by said rollers so that a first roller carries said cleaning pad and a second roller draws sections of said cleaning pad across a cleaning area defined by said mop head, a spray nozzle carried by said mop head that is fluidly connected to a cleaning solution container for allowing the user to select and spray a cleaning solution on the surface being cleaned, and an ultra violet light source disposed on said mop head for disinfecting said cleaning pad.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for effecting the ultrasound-supported cleaning of stationary use-surfaces. The inventive device is comprised of one or more ultrasound generators (1), ultrasonic transducers (2) and of one or more essentially flat sonotrodes (3), whereby the unit consisting of a sonotrode (3), an ultrasonic transducer (2) and of a generator (1) can be guided in a mobile manner on a fluid pad, which is delimited by a sealing lip system (8, 9), over the use-surface that is to be cleaned.
Abstract:
The invention provides an apparatus (1) for cleaning a surface, the apparatus (1) comprising: a body (10) defining a cavity (10a), the body (10) terminating in a distal end (12) that is adapted, in use, to be in the vicinity of a surface to be cleaned (2) such that the surface to be cleaned (2) forms an end wall of a chamber (11) including the cavity (10a); at least one cleaning liquid inlet (14) for flow of a cleaning liquid into the chamber (11); a divider (16) located in or at the end of the cavity (10a) that divides the chamber (11) into a first portion (11a) and a second portion (11b), the second portion (11b), in use, being in fluid communication with the surface (2) to be cleaned; and an acoustic transducer associated with the first portion of the chamber (11) to introduce acoustic energy into the chamber (11); wherein the divider is adapted to permit the passage of acoustic energy therethrough from the first portion (11a) of the chamber (11) to the second portion (lib) of the chamber (11) to thereby allow pressure fluctuations to be generated at the surface (2) to be cleaned. The invention also provides a method of cleaning a surface (2).
Abstract:
One embodiment of a cleaning head (106) comprises a frame (151), a cylindrical member (152) and a fluid output (118). The cylindrical member is supported by the frame for rotation about a central axis (154). The cylindrical member comprises a porous and compressible outer cylindrical wall (190). The fluid output is configured to dispense a liquid to an interior cavity (184) of the cylindrical member. In one embodiment, a motor is not directly coupled to the cylindrical member for driving the rotation of the cylindrical member about the central axis. In accordance with another embodiment, the cleaning head includes an electrolysis cell (210) within the cylindrical member. The electrolysis cell comprises first and second electrodes (220 and 222), each comprising porous layers of conductive material.
Abstract:
A sanitation device includes a mobile body, a surface cleaning component, and a source of UV radiation. The surface cleaning component and the source of UV radiation are mounted to the mobile body, which is configured to travel over a surface. The surface cleaning component is configured to engage the surface and the source of UV radiation is configured to direct UV radiation to the surface.
Abstract:
A surface treatment device (100) is disclosed that comprises a conduit (110) including an air inlet (105) and an air outlet (115). The conduit comprises a reactive particles generator (130) for generating reactive particles from air and arranged to subject the surface to the generated reactive particles. The reactive particles generator (130) is also used for generating an air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet through the conduit.
Abstract:
An automated floor cleaner (1) has a cleaner body (2); a cleaning means (3, 45, 6) connected to the cleaner body (2) and configured to in use contact a floor surface to clean the surface; a movement means (7, 19, 8) connected to the cleaner body (2) and configured so that in use the floor cleaner (1) can move across a surface, and; a sensing means 16a, 16b configured to sense the position of the floor cleaner within a location and to transmit data relating to the position to a memory module (20) configured to map and record the position of the floor cleaner (1) during use.
Abstract:
Ein Reinigungsgerät (1) zum Entfernen und/ oder Aufbringen von Flüssigkeiten auf Oberflächen (2), ist im Hinblick auf die Aufgabe, ein Reinigungsgerät derart auszugestalten und weiter zu bilden, dass mit diesem zuverlässig Flüssigkeit entfernt und/ oder aufgebracht werden kann, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Membran (3) vorgesehen ist, durch welche Flüssigkeit mittels Elektroosmose transportierbar ist.
Abstract:
Apparatuses are disclosed which include a discharge lamp (22) configured to emit ultraviolet light, a power circuit (26) configured to operate the discharge lamp, and a reflector system (60) configured to redirect ultraviolet light emitted from the discharge lamp. In addition, systems are disclosed which include processor-executable program instructions for receiving data regarding characteristics of a room in which one or more disinfection sources are arranged and determining, based on the received data, individual operating parameter/s for the one or more disinfection sources. Yet other systems include processor-executable program instructions for discerning, for each of a plurality of disinfection sources, a target location, region, object or surface within a room in which the disinfection sources are arranged, comparing the target locations/regions/objects/surfaces, and executing corrective action/s upon detecting two or more locations/objects/surfaces are within a predetermined distance of each other and/ or upon detecting two or more regions overlap.
