Mop, or squeegee, to collect and pick up water from a flat, smooth surface and store it for disposal. For use when cleaning floors, replacing cloths or mop and bucket. A flat V shaped rubber blade (L) is mounted vertically on a handle. The angle of operation is adjustable. When drawn over the surface, water gathers in the apex of the blade, is picked up by a tube and passed into a reservoir (R) for emptying when full. Lift is obtained from an electrically operated suction or vacuum (P2) pump, or by hand pump. Valves prevent return or overflow of the water. |
