Abstract:
A loop roll mopping apparatus in which an elongate sheet of mopping material is apportioned over a foot structure. As the mopping material becomes soiled, it is advanced from a spool or cartridge of clean mopping material. Numerous embodiments are described to suit different applications, different unit sizing, commercial versus household use, and other situations. The soiled mopping material is either retained on a take-up spool, or retained on the take-up side to allow excess soiled mop material to be removed (torn off) and disposed of. Various tensioning mechanisms are described, which in a first mode allow mop material advance, while in a second mode hold the mop material taut during mopping.

Claim (Index 20):
A mopping apparatus, comprising:\n (a) a foot structure; (b) an elongate handle rotatably coupled to an upper side of said foot structure; (c) an elongate sheet of mopping material retained in a source spool or cartridge of mopping material; (d) a mopping material retention mechanism configured in a first mode to allow selective advance of said elongate sheet of mopping material over the underside of said foot structure, and in a second mode to retain said elongate sheet of mopping material in a taut position over the underside of said foot structure during a mopping operation; (e) a mopping material advancing mechanism which is mechanically coupled to a mop material take-up structure, wherein user mechanical input on said mopping material advancing mechanism causes said take-up structure to mechanically advance mopping material over said foot structure; and (f) a pair of mop material path clips extending from said foot structure of said mopping apparatus, said pair of mop material path clips are configured for applying pressure to squeeze the mop material against said foot structure when in a retracted position used during a mopping operation, while in an extended position said pair of mop material path clips allow said mop material to be moved to apportion fresh mop material over said foot structure.
