Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003007773
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a wet mop head (10) comprising a plurality of solution dyed synthetic yarn loops (12) that are secured by a synthetic headband (20) centrally positioned across the yarns. The yarn loops are formed by repeatedly folding a continuous yarn onto itself at a regular length equal to the desired mop head length. The headband (20), positioned in transverse relation across the central portion of the yarn, produces the loops (12) and reinforces a site of attachment to a mop handle. Additional transverse bands (40) may also be included in the wet mop head (10), these bands (40) being slightly inward of the loop ends.
