Portable Cleaning Container
US Patent:
4908904, Mar 20, 1990
Filed:
Nov 14, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/270761
Inventors:
Don A. Smith - Norman OK
International Classification:
A47L 1350
US Classification:
15264
Abstract:
A portable cleaning container for use with a conventional mop and wringer for cleaning floors and other surfaces. The container includes a bucket with a drain opening formed through the bucket floor and closable by an elastomeric stopper supported on the end of a threaded drive rod extending through a threaded bore formed through a drive rod mount attached to the inside of the bucket within a stopper drive recess formed in the wall of the bucket and extending vertically from the floor of the bucket above the drain opening. A filter recess is formed in portions of the upper surface of the bucket floor to receive an interior filter having a planar portion that extends across the filter recess and a semitubular portion that extends about lower portions of the stopper drive recess to enclose the entrance of the drain opening to the bucket interior. Troughs in the planar portion of the interior filter and corrugations in the floor of the bucket adjacent the filter recess trap detritus when the bucket is drained. A pivoting external filter is mounted on the underside of the bucket floor for movement between a position underlaying the drain opening and a position to one side of the bucket.
