Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a mop disc and fabric frame fixation structure, in particular to the structure that facilitates changing a fabric frame.

2. Description of the Related Art

Mop is an indispensible tool used for cleaning and mopping the floor, and a traditional mop usually includes a rod and a plurality of fabric strips coupled to the bottom of the rod. In the connection between the fabric strips and the rod, a concave groove with an internal thread is formed in a clamping base at the tip of the fabric strips, and provided for coupling the fabric strips to a threaded surface at the bottom of the rod to fix the fabric strips to the rod and prevent the fabric strips from being separated from the rod. After the mop has been used for a while, the fabric strips may be worn out or damaged, and a replacement is needed. At present, there is a mop and a water bucket that can be used for dewatering the mop by centrifugal forces and is characterized in that users no longer need to dry the mop by twisting fabric strips by hands anymore, but simply place the fabric strips in a rotating filter on the internal side of the water bucket, such that the centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the filter can spin off the water in the fabric strips to dry the mop. However, it is also required to replace the fabric strips of this sort from time to time when they are worn out or damage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned shortcomings of the conventional dewatering bucket, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally developed a mop disc and fabric frame fixation structure of the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a mop disc and fabric frame fixation structure that facilitates changing a fabric frame.

To achieve the foregoing objective, the present invention provides a mop disc and fabric frame fixation structure, wherein the fabric frame comprises cotton strips installed at the bottom of the fabric frame, a noncircular embedding concave surface formed at the top of the fabric frame, a plurality of latch bumps formed in the embedding concave surface and protruded upwardly, a concave latch surface concavely formed on at least one side of the latch bump; and a disc, with a top end coupled to a mop handle, and a bottom end embedded into the embedding concave surface of the fabric frame, and a latch groove being formed at the bottom of the disc and corresponding to the fabric frame embedding concave surface, and each latch bump being arranged with an interval apart from the other, and a latch block formed on an internal side of the latch groove and opposite to the concave latch surface, such that the disc can be embedded into the embedding concave surface of the fabric frame, and the latch bump and the latch groove are latched, and the concave latch surface and the latch block are latched to combine the fabric frame with the mop disc.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

To make it easier for our examiner to understand the technical characteristics and measures of the present invention to achieve the aforementioned objects and effects, we use preferred embodiments with related drawings for the detailed description of the present invention as follows.

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the present invention comprises: a fabric frame 10, having cotton strips 11 installed at the bottom of the fabric frame 10, a noncircular embedding concave surface 12 formed at the top of the fabric frame 10, a plurality of latch bumps 13 formed in the embedding concave surface 12 and protruded upwardly, a concave latch surface 14 concavely formed on at least one side of the latch bump 13, and a foolproof bevel lap surface 15 (or a foolproof device) is disposed at a corner of the embedding concave surface 12 (which is situated at the included angle of the embedding concave surface 12); and

a disc 20 (as shown in FIG. 3), embedded into the embedding concave surface 12 of the fabric frame 10, and having a top end for coupling a mop handle 21, and a foolproof retaining surface 22 (or a foolproof device) disposed at a corner corresponding to the lap surface 15 of the fabric frame 10, and the bottom of the disc 20 having a latch base 23 with a latch groove 230 at the middle and separated from the corresponding latch bump 13 of the embedding concave surface 12, and a latch block 231 being protruded from the internal wall of the latch groove 230 and corresponding to the concave latch surface 14 of the fabric frame 10; such that the disc 20 can be embedded into the embedding concave surface 12 of the fabric frame 10, and the latch bump 13 and the latch groove 230 are latched, and the concave latch surface 14 and the latch block 231 are latched to combine the fabric frame 10 with the mop disc 20.

In FIGS. 2 and 4, during the assembling process, the retaining surface 22 of the disc 20 is aligned with the lap surface 15 of the fabric frame 10, and then the disc 20 is embedded into the embedding concave surface 12 of the fabric frame 10, and the latch groove 230 of the disc 20 is embedded into the latch bump 13 of the fabric frame 10 correspondingly, and the latch block 231 of the latch groove 230 and the concave latch surface 14 of the latch bump 13 of the fabric frame 10 are embedded vertically with each other, such that the disc 20 and the fabric frame 10 can be connected securely to form a mop 1.

If it is necessary to replace the old cotton strips 11, a user fixes the fabric frame 10 (such by stepping on the fabric frame 10) to shake the mop handle 21 and its disc 20 sideway to separate the latch block 231 of the disc 20 from the concave latch surface 14 to further separate the latch bump 13 from the latch groove 230, so that the old fabric frame 10 will be separated from the disc 20. Then, the user combines the fabric frame 10 with the cotton strips 11 to the disc 20 according to the aforementioned method to produce a mop.

Since the latch block 231 of the latch groove 230 is made of plastic and elastic, therefore the latch block 231 can be latched into the concave latch surface 14 of the latch bump 13 to couple the fabric frame 10 with the disc 20 securely. If it is necessary to replace the cotton strips 11, users simply fix the fabric frame 10 (by stepping on the fabric frame 10) and then shake the mop handle 21 and its disc 20 sideway to separate the latch block 231 of the disc 20 from the concave latch surface 14 of the fabric frame 10 to lift the mop handle 21, so as to separate the latch bump 13 from the latch groove 230 and separate the fabric frame 10 from the disc 20 to replace the fabric frame 10 having the cotton strips 11.

In summation of the description above, the present invention improves over the prior art and complies with the patent application requirements, and is thus duly filed for patent application.
