ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly, to a sponge mop that has a hollow shaft on which a valve is connected. Cleaning agent is provided in the shaft and is controlled by the valve.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional cleaning device such as a sponge mop generally includes a shaft with a grip on one end thereof and a sponge assembly is connected to the other end of the shaft. The shaft is made of hollow tubes which can be retractably engaged with each other so as to reach a far distance. A squeezing mechanism is connected to the sponge assembly so that when the user pulls a handle of the squeeze mechanism, a sponge member in the sponge assembly is squeezed by two rods and water absorbed in the sponge member is removed. In order to obtain a better cleaning feature, the user has to use a hose to provide water to the object so that the sponge member can be used normally. Nevertheless, it is inconvenient for the user to operate both the hose and the sponge mop.
The present invention intends to provide a sponge mop whose shaft is connected to a hose and a valve is connected to the shaft so as to control the flow of the cleaning agent from the hose.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cleaning device comprising a handle having a longitudinal passage defined therethrough. A hollow shaft and a hose are respectively connected to two ends of the handle. A valve assembly is connected to the handle and a lower end of the valve assembly removably seals the passage in the handle. The hollow shaft is connected to a nozzle device which has a nozzle pivotally extending outward from the nozzle device. A connection tube is connected to the hollow shaft so as to be connected to a sponge assembly.
The object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device that is connected with a hose and a nozzle device so that cleaning agent from the hose is injected from the nozzle to increase cleaning feature of the cleaning device.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
