Dispensing pad cleaner
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dispensing pad cleaner comprising:
- a handle assembly and a handle half that mates with the handle assembly;
a front support beam connecting the handle assembly to a pad substrate;
the pad substrate comprising a flexible material;
a wedge shaped reservoir for liquid retention having a reservoir cap and attached to the underside of the front support beam;
a pump for dispensing liquid retained in the reservoir;
the pump for dispensing liquid being embedded within and surrounded by the mated handle assembly and handle half;
a fluid channel from the reservoir to the pump;
a dispensing nozzle with a fluid channel to the pump;
the pump being actuated by user interaction with a lever located within an opening made by the conjoining of the handle assembly, front support beam and pad substrate;
wherein the lever is mechanically linked to the pump through a curved cam structure such that movement of the lever translates to linear actuation of the pump and subsequent dispensing of the liquid through the dispensing nozzle.

Abstract
A dispensing pad cleaner having a novel integrated dispensing system for delivering cleaning solutions and similar liquids to a surface to be cleaned. A removable cleaning pad coupled to a flexible pad substrate is also provided. The dispensing system has a reservoir for liquid retention that is coupled to the dispensing pad cleaner. An integral pump dispenses the liquid from the reservoir and through a nozzle to a surface to be cleaned. The pump is actuated from a lever that is depressed by a user, at times repeatedly, to facilitate pumping of the liquid onto a surface to be cleaned by scrubbing action of the dispensing pad cleaner.
