Abstract

The present invention resides in an auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus which comprises a base sweeping pad, a fluid reservoir superimposed over said sweeping pad which defines a slit between the two, a handle having a fork shaped frame which is rotate ably attached to the sweeping pad. A lower roll bar contains clean, cleaning material and an upper roll bar receives soiled cleaning material. First and second trigger means activated the roll bars and fluid reservoir to advance the cleaning material and disperse cleaning solution onto the cleaning material on the lower roll bar passes through the slit defined by the fluid reservoir and sweeping pad around the bottom of the sweeping pad and up to the upper roll bar.

Claims

1. An auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus which comprises a sweeping pad which has an elongated rectangular configuration, a fluid solution tank that is superimposed over the top of the sweeping pad which defines a slit between the two, a handle having a fork shaped frame is rotatably attached to the sweeping pad, wherein said handle contains an upper roll bar and a lower roll bar and first and second trigger means for activating the roll bars and fluid solution reservoir.

2. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the lower roll bar contains clean, cleaning material wrapped around it.

4. The auto loading and auto damping cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first trigger means comprises a first trigger having spring bias means attached to a cable which is attached to a rotation device located on the upper roll bar, wherein the rotation device is rotated ninty degrees when activated.

5. The auto loading and auto damping cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fluid solution tank contains a refill cap.

6. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein he fluid solution tank contains a lid located on the bottom of the reservoir for dispensing cleaning solution onto the cleaning material.

7. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 6, wherein the lid is attached to a cam mechanism.

8. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second trigger having spring bias means attached to a cable, which is attached to a cam.

9. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 8 where the cam is circular in configuration and is defined by peaks and valleys on it'"'"'s inside surface area.

10. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 8, wherein the second trigger activates a cam by rotating it ninety degrees to either open or close a lid located in the fluid solution reservoir.

11. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the handle having a fork shaped frame contains a roll bar guard.

3. The auto loading and auto dampening cleaning apparatus wherein the cleaner, cleaning material passes through the slit defined by the fluid solution reservoir, and sweeping pad, around said sweeping pad and up to the upper roll bar where it wrapably attaches thereto.
