Mobile cleaning system
First Claim
1. A mobile cleaning system comprising:
- a push cart comprising opposing front and rear sections separated by a vertical wall and spaced between vertically upstanding side sections, wherein the front and rear sections each include at least one modulated space for removably receiving one of a plurality of modules, wherein one of the vertically upstanding side sections is associated with a vertical sidewall extending substantially from the front of the push cart to the rear of the push cart, substantially perpendicular to the vertical wall separating the front and rear sections and having a height substantially equal to the height of the front and rear sectionsa tool storage location associated with the one of the vertically upstanding side sections and comprising one or more features for removably securing an accessory or cleaning tool to the cart and positioned above a basin of a tool drip tray extending generally horizontally outward from the vertical sidewall;
wherein the mobile cleaning system has;
(a) a first configuration wherein one of the at least one modulated space of the front section removably houses a self-contained wet-vacuum module including a vacuum source fluidly connectable to a recovery tank, and a second module removably secured within one of the at least one modulated space of the rear section, and(b) a second configuration wherein the at least one modulated space of the front section houses a different module than the wet-vacuum module or the second module; and
a horizontal retention bar within the at least one modulated space of the front, wherein the wet-vacuum module, the second module, or the different module is secured to the retention bar.

Abstract
A mobile cleaning system (10) that enables touch-free, daily cleaning and disinfecting to areas or locations within an establishment is provided. The system includes generally a push cart (12) having front (18) and rear (20) sections spaced between vertically upstanding side sections (22A-B). One or more sections of the cart (12) include a modulated space configurable with one or more cleaning and/or disinfecting modules for performing and supporting a cleaning and/or disinfecting operation. A tool drip tray (30) extends outward from at least one of the sections beneath a tool storage location (32A-B) for preventing liquid or debris from dropping onto a surface beneath the cart (12) while stationary or in transit.

10. A mobile cleaning system comprising:
-
a push cart comprising a front section, a rear section, and a top section, and a vertically upstanding side section, each of the front section, the rear section, and the top section including at least one modulated space for removably receiving one of a plurality of modules; wherein the front section and the rear section are separated by a vertical wall and the modulated spaces of the front section and rear section open towards opposite directions; wherein the vertically upstanding side section is separated from both the front section and the rear section by a vertical sidewall extending up to the top section substantially from the front of the push cart to the rear of the push cart and substantially perpendicular to the vertical wall separating the front and rear sections; a generally horizontal retention bar in one of the modulated spaces wherein a first module or a second module are secured to the retention bar; and a tool drip tray extending generally horizontally outward from the vertical sidewall and positioned below a tool storage location of the vertically upstanding side section. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A mobile cleaning system comprising:
-
a push cart comprising opposing front section, a rear section, and a vertically upstanding side section completely separated from both the front section and the rear section by a vertical sidewall extending substantially from the front of the push cart to the rear of the push cart and substantially perpendicular to a vertical wall separating the front section and rear section, wherein each of the front section and the rear section includes at least one modulated space for removably receiving one of a plurality of modules; a storage shelf module removably positioned within one of the modulated spaces; a wet-vacuum module removably positioned within a different one of the modulated spaces; a horizontal retention bar within one of the front section and the rear section to secure either the storage shelf module or the wet-vacuum module; a liquid dispensing system operatively connected to the push cart; and a tool drip tray extending generally horizontally outward from the vertical sidewall and positioned below a tool storage location of the vertically upstanding side section. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
