Patent ID: 7458128

Claim:
A combination wipe and attachment for converting a cleaning implement to a mop, comprising a flexible cover, said cover in its flat unassembled condition having a first end and a second end, a continuous intermediate section between said first end and said second end, said second end terminating in a U-shaped outer edge and being bifurcated to create a pair of spaced outwardly extending flaps with an open area of sufficient width between said flaps whereby said flaps are maintained completely spaced apart and out of contact with each other in both the assembled and the unassembled conditions of said cover, said cover having an inner surface and an outer surface, said intermediate section including a central section between said first end and said second end, fastening structure non-detachably on said inner surface of said flaps, complementary fastening structure non-detachably on said outer surface of said first end, said fastening structure and said complementary fastening structure being located for engagement when said cover is folded around a cleaning head of a cleaning implement to form a closed loop around the cleaning head with said flaps being outwardly of and secured to said first end whereby said open area between said flaps is adapted to accommodate a handle extending outwardly from the cleaning head, said loop having a top and a bottom, and said central section being at said bottom of said loop remote from said secured first end and flaps at said top of said loop, said intermediate section having a first contact portion on one side of said loop adjacent to said central section, said intermediate section having a second contact portion on an opposite side of said loop adjacent to said central section, each of said first contact portion and said second contact portion being made of absorbent material to provide a cleaning area on each side of said loop at said bottom of said loop whereby the mounting of said attachment to a cleaning implement converts the cleaning implement to a mop, said intermediate section having side edges whereby said loop has two opposite sets of side edges, and one of said sets of side edges being longer than the other of said sets of side edges whereby said central section is slanted to conform to a slanted shape of the cleaning implement.
