Abstract:
1. A versatile mop, comprising: a main body being substantially a hollow shell containing a first piston, a piston cover and a first connecting tube, said main body having a connection section formed at one end thereof, said first piston further including a protruded tube for connecting said connection section, a first resilient part and a second piston being inserted into said protruded tube through said connection section, said protruded tube being provided with a first water inlet and a first water outlet, a second water inlet being disposed adjacent to said protruded tube, a front end of said second water inlet being further connected to a second water outlet, said first water inlet and said first water outlet being enclosed within a piston cover, said piston cover further comprising a third water inlet and a third water outlet, a second resilient part and a valve axle being installed between each of the group of said first water inlet and said first water outlet and the group of said third water inlet and said third water outlet, a first terminal of said first connecting tube being connected to said third water inlet of said piston cover, a second terminal of said first connecting tube being connected to said second water outlet of said second water inlet; a mop head; a handle set; and a water storing unit further comprising a water container for storing water and a water flow control unit, said water flow control unit consisting of in order a seal cap, a filtering valve, a commutating mount, a commutating cap, a first tube, a second tube and a third tube, a third resilient part and a valve axle being situating between said seal cap and said filtering valve, a fourth resilient part and a valve core being situating between said commutating mount and said commutating cap, a rolling ball being situating between said first tube and said second tube; whereby, as said versatile mop is tilted downward, a trigger unit of said handle set is pulled so as to drive a linking mechanism of said handle set to push said first resilient part and said second piston within said handle set, and whereby the air in said first piston and said piston cover will be squeezed out so that water can flow through said commutating cap and push said valve core open, and whereby water will then flow out of said second water outlet and flow through said first connecting tube and said third water inlet of said piston cover and said first water inlet of said first piston, eventually entering said protruded tube; and whereby, as said trigger unit is pulled again, said linking mechanism will push said second piston into said protruded tube, and whereby said water originally in said protruded tube will be ejected through said first water outlet into said third water outlet of said piston cover and then a second connecting tube, eventually ejected from a sprinkle-nozzle for cleaning a floor.
