[002) The prior att shows several examples of devices for mops and very few for towef, (003] Of those for towel there are those having a mechanism that is vety similar to old washing machine's wringers, that is.- A pair of rollers pressed together and in between which one passes the towel.
[004] There does not appear to be a simple easy to use device for wringing towel, PRIDR ART CAPABILITY AND M.QTIYATEON A3 HEI,I'IMG TO SHO-W-t 5PATENTABIt_IT1f HERE
[0051 Even in hindsight consideration of the present invention to determine its inventive and novel nature, it is not only conceded but emphasized that the prior art had many details usable in this invention, but only if the prior art had had the guidance of the present invention, details of both capability and motivation.
[CtOt'i] That is, it is emphasized that the prior art had/or knew several particulars which individually and accumulatively show the non-obviousness of this combination invention, E.g., a) The cost of the m2tefials are relatively low and do not have a profound impact on price to the point of offsetting the benefits of this novel product;
b) The nature of an invention as being a "novel combination", in spite of existence of details separately, is especially significant here where the novelty is of the plurality of concepts, i.e., the use of a lever combined with a pressing means, and a sieve or strainer;
c) The addition of providing means to attach to a bucket so as to make it practical;
d) The matter of particular cost-factors, in a detailed form which would surely convey the realization of the huge cost benefiis ~
involved in manufacturing such a device;
e) The prior art has always had sufficient skill to make many types of wringer devices for towel, more than ample skill to have 5 achieved the present invention, but only if the concepts and their combinations had been conceived;
f) Substantially aA of the operational characterestids and advantages of details of the present invention, when considered separately from one another and when considered separateiy from the present invention's details and accompfishnient of the details, are within the skill of persons of various arts, but only when considered away from the integrated and novel combination of concepts which by their cooperative combination achieve this advantageous invention;

IU081 In view of the general economic advantages, practical advantages, etc., 5 of the present invention as an improved embodiment of the prior art, it may be difficult to realize that the prior art has not conceived af the combination purpose and achievement of the present inventivn, even though the need for it is a known requested commodity for people nowadays who are getting older, suffer from arthritis and other such ailments which limit their mobility. Surely the need for an easy to use means of wringing a towel use for general household cleaning purposes has been a required commodity more in more in demand for the past twenty years as more and more people live longer and want to be able to be pmductive despite n~rtor ailments and the technology to achieve such results has been known for decades and that the vanous combination provided in this invention would have been desired and attempted long ago, but only if its factors and combination-nature had been obvious_ tOW] Other considerations, as herein mentioned, when realistically evaluated show the inventive nature of the present invention, a change in concept which the prior patent and other prior art did not achieve.

CONCEP_tS C?,E TWE INVENTION'S C4MAT-.ON
[001.0] And the existence of such prior art knowledge and related ideas embodying such various features is not only conceded, it is emphasized;
for as to the novelty here of the combination, of the invention as considered as a whole, a contrast to the prior art helps also to remind of needed improvement, and the advantages and the inventive significance of the present concepts_ Thus, as shown herein as a contrast to all the prior art, the inventive significance of the present concepts as a combination is emphasized, and the nature of the concepts and their results can perhaps be easier seen as an invention.
[0011) Although varieties of prior art are conceded, and ample motivation is shown, and full calaablfty in the prior art is conceded, no prior art shows or suggests details of the overall combination of the present invention, as is the proper and accepted way of considering the inventiveness nature of the concepts.
20[00121 That is, although the prior art may show an approactt to the overall invention, it is determinatively significant that none of the prior art shows the novel and advantageous concepts in combination, which provides the merits of this invention, even though certain details are shown separately from this accomplishment as a combination.
[0013] And the prior art's lack of an invention of an easy to use device to quickly wring out liquid from a cleaning towel that is optimized for the needs of people with limited motricity, as well as other advantages of the present invention, which are goals only approached by the prior art, must be recognized as being a long-felt need now fulfilled.
f00141 Accordingly, the various concepts and components are conceded and emphasized to have been widely known in the prior art as to various installations; nevertheless, the prior art not having had the particutar combination of concepts and details as here presented and shown in novel combination different from the prior art and its suggestions, even only a fair amount of realistic humility, to avoid consideration of this 1.5 invention improperly by hindsight, requires the concepts and achievements here to be realistical[y viewed as a novel combination, inventive in nature. And especially is this a realistic consideration when viewed from the position of a person of ordinary skill in this art at the time of this invention, and without trying to reconstruct this invention from the prior art without use of hindsight toward particulars not suggested by the prior art.

(00181 To attain these ends, the wringer for towel generally comprises at least one handle which acts as a lever, a pressing means; and a perforated basket. The handle is hingedly connected to the perforated basket by way of a hinge means: and the pressing means is articulately connected to the handle by a connector means extending from the pressing means.
[0p19] The pressing rneans is preferably a plate configured and sized to espouse the shape and size of the perforated basket.
[00201 In one embodiment of the invention, a pair of hooks located on the outside periphery of the perforated basket to temporarily engage the rim of a bucket, 5[W21] In yet another embodiment of the invention, a second handle for use as a holding means for the wringer for towel.
[0022] In order to use the invention, a user hooks the wringer for towei onto a bucket by way of the hooks, puts a towel inside the perforated basket, wrings the towel by way of the pressing means, and liquid from the towel passes through the holes in the perforated basket_ [0023] ln order to use the embodiment vueth two handles, the user puts a towel inside the perForated basket; presses the towel by using the handle to press the pressing means against the towel while holding the wringer for towel with the second handle.

Water or liquid from the towel passes through the holes (28) in the perforated basket (16) and fall into the bucket (26).
f00371 Altematively, a variation of the wringer fortowel (10) could have a second handle (12') used as a holding means for when a user does not require a bucket such as when washing a car outside or any other cleaning chore where the waste liquid does not need to specifically fall into a container such as a bucket (26). In fact that alternate embodiment may not require hooks (22), although it would be well within the scope of the invention to have releasably attached hooks (22) as well as a releasably second handle (12'). This can be done by way of any one of a variety of releasable attachment means as are known in the ar1.
[00381 The wringer for towel (10) as one of the fotlowing methods of use:
