FIG. 1 is front view of one example of a cleaning tool according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is front view of one example of the main body of the cleaning tool ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the main body ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 4 is a back view of the main body ofFIG. 2 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 , one example of acleaning tool 10 according to the present invention is shown. For illustrative purposes, theexemplary cleaning tool 10 described herein is a broom, however, it will be understood that thecleaning tool 10 could be any type of dry cleaning tool such as a dust mop, hand held duster, web duster, etc. In this example,cleaning tool 10 generally has amain body 20, cleaning implement 60, and handle 40. - Referring to
FIGS. 2-4 , in the example shown,main body 20 is a broom block that is made from foam filled homopolymer polypropylene (HPPP).Main body 20 has a generally triangular shape that is formed bybottom surface 28, andside surfaces main body 20 has a height H1 of approximately 3.755 inches, a length L of approximately 8.881 inches, and a depth D of approximately 1.005 inches. In addition, the angle C formed betweenbottom surface 28 andside surface 36 is approximately 28 degrees andside surface 38 is generally perpendicular tobottom surface 28. Alternatively,main body 20 can be made of any material and of any geometry desired depending on the intended application. -
Neck 30 is generally cylindrical and extends fromside surface 36 in a direction generally perpendicular tobottom surface 28. In this example, the height H2 ofmain body 20 from the top ofneck 30 tobottom surface 28 is approximately 4.736 inches. Threadedopening 32 is formed inneck 30 and is adapted to receive threadedend 54 of plug 50 (seeFIG. 1 ) to connectmain body 20 to handle 40, as described in more detail below. In addition, in this particular example,decorative tab 40 extends betweenneck 30 andside surface 36. Depending on the type of tool, whether or not a removable handle is used, and if a handle is used the type of handle,neck 30 may or may not be required or may have a different configuration for a different connection type. For example, ifcleaning tool 10 was a hand duster it may not have a handle andneck 30 would not be required or the handle could be integrally formed with the main body. Furthermore, the handle could be connected to the main body in various ways such as a press fit, set screws, screws, adhesive, etc. -
Opening 22 is formed within the interior ofmain body 22 and allows air to pass throughmain body 22 withcleaning tool 10 is in motion.Frame 24 is formed within opening 22 and generally extends betweenbottom surface 28 andside surfaces FIG. 4 ,cavity 34 is formed inframe 24 ofmain body 20 and is adapted to receive an air freshener 44 (shown in phantom). Alternatively, a solidmain body 20 can be used, in whichcase cavity 34 would be formed in the solid portion of the main body and opening 22 andframe 24 would not be present. In the particular example shown,cavity 34 is generally cylindrical, has a diameter of approximately 2.8-3.0 inches, and is adapted to hold an Air-Wick® air fresher, however, the size and geometry ofcavity 34 will be determined by the particular air freshener used. -
Tabs 42 are formed at the periphery ofcavity 34, extend intocavity 34, and are used to retainair freshener 44 withincavity 34 ofmain body 20 through an interference fit. Alternatively, many other well known methods could be used to retainair freshener 44 withincavity 34 as well.Hole 26 is formed inframe 24 ofbody 20 and is positioned to provide air flow throughhole 26 and overair freshener 44 whenmain body 20 is in motion. Therefore, whencleaning tool 10 is in use andmain body 20 is in motion, air flows throughhole 26 and overair freshener 44 to disburse the air freshener scent into the air while simultaneously while cleaning. The number, size, and position of the hole(s) used will depend on the type and size of themain body 20, the size of the air freshener, and the intended use. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 ,cleaning implement 60 is attached tobottom surface 28 ofmain body 20 and in this example is comprised ofmultiple fibers 62. As discussed above, although the exemplary cleaning tool described herein is a broom, other dry cleaning tools are contemplated as well. For example, ifcleaning tool 10 were a dust mop,cleaning implement 60 may be flexible dust collection fibers or a dust pad. In this example,fibers 62 are made from flaggable polypropylene (PP), have a diameter of approximately 0.020 inches, and are secured tobottom surface 28 ofmain body 20 by drilling holes inbottom surface 28 andstaple setting fibers 62 intomain body 20. Alternatively,fibers 62 could be secured tomain body 20 by any well known means, such as by integrally moldingfibers 62 intomain body 20.Fibers 62 are distributed in a fan pattern such thatfibers 62 positioned at the left side ofbottom surface 28 are aligned at an angle A of approximately 112 degrees frombottom surface 28 andfibers 62 positioned at the right side ofbottom surface 28 are aligned at an angle B of approximately 106 frombottom surface 28. In addition, in the example, the lengths offibers 62 are tapered from one end ofbottom surface 28 to the other such thatfibers 62 at the left side are approximately 5.125 inches long frombottom surface 28 to the end of the fiber andfibers 62 at the right side are approximately 4 inches long frombottom surface 28 to the end of the fiber. Taperingfibers 62 provides a flat surface that is set at an angle in relation tobottom surface 28 and allowscleaning tool 10 to be oriented in a more comfortable position during use. Alternatively, depending on the type of cleaning implement used, cleaningimplement 60 could be permanently connected tomain body 20, such as described above, or could be removably connected tomain body 20, as would be the case with replaceable dust pads. - In this example,
handle 40 is tubular and has an outer diameter of approximately 0.827 inches and a wall thickness of approximately 0.012 inches. It is made of full hard, cold rolled, low carbon, powder coated steel having a hardness of approximately 85-95 on the Rockwell B scale. Alternatively,handle 40 could be made of any desired material and in any geometry that suits the indented purpose. -
Handle 40 is secured tomain body 20 throughplug 50, which is generally cylindrical and could be made from copolymer polypropylene (CPPP).End 52 ofplug 50 is connected to oneend handle 40 bypress fitting end 52 into the end ofhandle 40 andcrimping handle 40 to secureplug 50 in place.End 54 ofplug 50 has a threaded surface that can engage threadedopening 32 inmain body 20, thereby connectinghandle 40 tomain body 20. Alternatively, rather than being removably connected tomain body 20,handle 40 could be permanently connected tomain body 20 through any well known means or could be made integral withmain body 20. In addition, depending on the type of tool,cleaning tool 10 may not have a handle at all. - In this example,
grip 48 is also secured on one end ofhandle 40,opposite plug 50, to provide a comfortable handling surface for a user.Grip 48 has a generally cylindrical shape, is approximately 5.75 inches long, 0.95 inches in diameter, and has aswivel cap 49 that allowscleaning tool 10 to be hung up and stored.Grip 48 can be press fit ontohandle 40, secured with an adhesive or screws, or connected to handle 40 in any other well known manner and can be made of any geometry and any material suitable for the intended purpose. Alternatively, depending on the type of tool and the intended uses,grip 48 may not be required. In this example, the length of the handle assembly from the tip ofswivel cap 49 to the end ofplug 50 is approximately 44 inches. - In addition, the various components of
cleaning tool 10 could be sold together in various combinations. For example, a main body, cleaning implement, and air freshener could be sold together. The cleaning implement could be integral to the main body as described above in the case of a broom or the cleaning implement could be removably connected to the main body as in the case of a web duster. Similarly, the air freshener could be integral to the main body or could be replaceable and removably connected to the main body. Furthermore, a handle could also be sold together with the other components. Again, the handle could be integral to the main body or could be removably connected to the main body as described above. - Although the present invention has been shown and described with respect to one example embodiment thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and various other changes, omissions, and additions in the form and detail thereof may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
