ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to cleaning devices. Specifically, the present invention relates to wringer roller mops, and more specifically to a wringer roller mop having an absorbent pad rotatably mounted on a cleaning head.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Wringer roller mops are well-known in the industry. Such devices include a cleaning head in the form of a polyurethane or polyester sponge. To wring the sponge, the sponge is drawn between a pair of rollers that straddle the sponge. Although the rollers are effective in wringing most of the liquid from the sponge, a certain amount of liquid remains in the sponge after wringing so that the sponge may tend to push liquid around on a surface rather than absorbing the liquid. Accordingly, when using a wringer roller mop, frequently an undesirable amount of residual fluid is left on the surface being cleaned.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In light of the foregoing, the present invention provides a cleaning device having a cleaning head for cleaning a surface and an absorbent pad pivotally connected to the cleaning head. The cleaning head is attached to the distal end of a handle. An actuator pivotally connected to the handle is operable between first and second positions. Displacing the actuator from the first position to the second position operates to wring the cleaning head. The absorbent pad is pivotally connected to the cleaning head, and is formed of a material having a greater absorbency then the cleaning head. Displacing the actuator from the first position to the second position pivots the absorbent pad from the retracted position to an extended position.
