Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cleaning tool and apparatus incorporating a cleaning tool. More particularly, this invention relates to a cleaning tool having a replaceable cleaning element, and apparatus for use with such a tool .
  • a particular example of such a tool commonly found in a domestic environment is a toilet cleaning brush. In use, these brushes are exposed to bacteriological contamination.
  • WO 87/00411 describes a toilet cleaning device comprising a handle and a bifurcated paddle which functions during use to carry an elongated sleeve-like cleaning element.
  • the handle includes a collar which is slidably mounted at the top of the paddle and which when moved down the paddle acts to bring the prongs of the paddle closer together. In this manner the paddle width is sufficiently reduced to allow it be inserted into a cleaning sleeve, wherupon release of the collar returns the prongs to the original position whereby the sleeve is gripped by the outwardly biassed prongs.
  • An aim of the invention is to provide a cleaning tool which overcomes at least some of the above problems.
  • the invention provides a cleaning tool comprising a handle, a head connected to the handle, the head being dimensioned to carry a similarly dimensioned cleaning element thereon, wherein the head includes a conical portion, which tapers away from the handle.
  • conical should be taken as including not only conical bodies having a round cross section, but also frustoconical bodies, and other types of polygonal cones or frustums .
  • the term should be taken to include inverted pyramidal shapes which have a square, rectangular or other polygonal cross section, and frustums thereof.
  • a cleaning tool formed in accordance with the invention has a number of advantages over those of the prior art.
  • the head is conical, it is easier to insert in a similarly dimensioned cleaning element. This is due to the fact that as the cleaning element will also be conically shaped, it will have quite a large open mouth into which the cleaning head is easily inserted. In addition the conical shape of the head provides a large surface area to which the cleaning element, during use, can attach to. Furthermore, as the cleaning elements will be conically shaped they are easily storable in a nesting arrangement, which provides excellent use of space and exposes only a top element of the nest to the atmosphere .
  • the tool includes release means, which is operable by a user to release a cleaning element from the head without the user handling the cleaning element.
  • a user can dispose of the cleaning element after use safely, without the risk of his or her hands being contaminated through handling of the soiled cleaning element .
  • the head is conical and has a round or curved cross-section. Such an embodiment allows for easier cleaning of curved surfaces in the toilet bowl.
  • the invention also provides a cleaning element for a cleaning tool according to the invention, the cleaning element comprising a conical sleeve which is comprised of a material which is easily disposable by flushing in a toilet bowl.
  • a cleaning element for a cleaning tool according to the invention, the cleaning element comprising a conical sleeve which is comprised of a material which is easily disposable by flushing in a toilet bowl.
  • the term "conical” as used in the above statement should be construed in accordance with the definition given previously.
  • the cleaning element is intended for disposal after each use, in order to avoid the risks that might arise from storage of a soiled cleaning element.
  • the cleaning element is constructed as to be disposable by flushing in a toilet bowl. When the tool is used to clean a toilet, this ensures that safe and convenient disposal is readily possible.
  • the cleaning element is formed of impregnated paper.
  • the cleaning element may be impregnated with at least one of a bleach, a biocide or a perfume.
  • the invention also relates to a nested stack of cleaning elements for use with a cleaning tool according to the invention, which nested stack is typically packaged in the form of a re-fill pack.
  • the head may include a support for the cleaning element.
  • the support is formed of resiliently deformable material.
  • the resiliently deformable material may be a foam such as an expanded polyurethane foam.
  • the resilient material is formed with a relatively water-impermeable skin to reduce the risk of it becoming contaminated through use.
  • the release means operates to displace a portion of the head, thereby dislodging the cleaning element.
  • the release means is operated by a user control on the handle.
  • the release means includes a one-piece component, a first part of which constitutes the user control, and a second part on which constitutes a portion of the head. Additionally, the first and second parts of the one-piece component may be interconnected by a third part, the third part being elongate and flexible.
  • the one-piece component may conveniently be a moulding of plastic material. This form of construction may be advantageously simple in manufacture.
  • the invention provides cleaning apparatus comprising a cleaning tool embodying the first aspect of the invention and a stand component, the stand component having receptacles in which the tool and a plurality of cleaning elements can be stored.
  • the apparatus will include a plurality of cleaning elements which typically will be in a nested orientation.
  • the cleaning elements can preferably be stored in a stack within the cleaning apparatus.
  • the stack is positioned such that a user can place the head of the tool onto a free end of the stack, and thereby pick up one of the cleaning elements on the head in preparation for use of the tool.
  • the stack may be contained within a shell component.
  • the shell component is part of a consumer product package.

  • the head portion 14 includes a frusto-conical core part 18 that tapers in a direction away from the handle 12.
  • the core part 18 and the handle 12 can conveniently be constructed as mouldings of a suitable plastic material. In this embodiment, there are two mouldings, joined along the length of the handle 12 and the head portion 14 along a line 22.

  • a user urges the thumb knob 40 towards the head portion 14. This motion is transmitted by the elongate element to cause the spigot 20 to extend from the core 16, carrying the body 28 with it.
