1. A Client meets you and provides you with information below. Please use the said
information to write a complete specification ready to be filed before the Indian Patent
Office.
We have invented a portable solar water heater which is not very expensive. Various solar
water heaters are available in the prior art but they are bulky and not suitable for
transporting however the present water heater has its unique features and advantages.
The invention is illustrated with the help of following drawing-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the solar water heater with a single parabolic reflector.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the solar water heater with a plurality of parabolic reflectors
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a user employing the air pump to begin the flow of water.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the solar water heater 10 having a single stainless
steel parabola 40 for collecting sunlight. The solar heater 10 comprises a cylindrical water
tank 12 and a substantially cylindrical solar heating compartment 14. The water tank 12 has
a top surface 12T, a bottom surface 12B, a side surface 12S, and a water tank inlet
connection 30 and a water tank drain 56, both extending fully through the side surface 12S.
The water tank 12 is shown substantially filled with water 44.
The heating compartment 14 has a circular bottom surface 14B which overlaps the top
surface 12T of the water tank 12, and a top surface 14T and a side surface 14S which are
both constructed from a transparent material such as glass or plastic. The bottom surface
14B is preferably constructed from a material which insulates against heat loss from the
water tank 12. The heating compartment 14 has a substantially centrally located cylindrical
copper water reservoir 24 having two flat circular end portions 24E and a surface 24S,
cylindrical copper water tubing 32 extending from both end portions 24E, and two hot
water outlet 26 extending from the water tubing 32 fully through the side 14S of the heating
compartment 14, whereby hot water may be released for use.
In an alternative embodiment, a single hot water outlet may be provided. The heating,
compartment 14 also comprises a single parabolic reflector 40 having a curved upper
surface 40U, which is oriented facing Upward. The parabolic reflector 40 is constructed
from highly reflective stainless steel and causes the incident rays of sunlight to be reflected
and converged at a focal point of the parabola substantially upon the surface 24S of the
water reservoir 24. In this regard, the copper which is used for the water reservoir 24 should
preferably riot be highly reflective, because it is desirable that Most of the light which is
reflected from the parabolic reflector 40 should be absorbed by the water reservoir 24 in
order to maximize the heating efficiency of the solar water heater 10.
The solar heater 20 further comprises an air pump 16, in communication with the water
reservoir 24 and the water tubing 32 extending there from. The air pump 16 has an air pump
handle 20, vertical air pump tubing 22 V, and horizontal air pump tubing 22H. The air
pump 16 Creates a partial vacuum in the water tubing 32, thereby causing water to flow
from the water tank 12 into the water reservoir 24 and the water tubing 32. Once the
siphoning of water has begun, the 2ir pump 16 is no longer needed to maintain a flow of
water. Water will continue to flow from the hot water outlets 26 of the solar water heater 10
until the partial vacuum is released by opening the air pump tubing to the atmosphere. ‘In
order that the flow of water from the solar water heater 10 remains uninterrupted, the hot
water outlet 26 is generally connected to hose having an outlet which is maintained at a
lower level than the water 44 in the water tank 12, thereby preventing the siphon from
"breaking". An electric pump may be utilized instead of a manual air pump.
Fig 2 shows an alternate design where the solar water heater comprises; a plurality of
parabolic reflectors instead of once large parabolic reflector, and instead of centrally
located water reservoir 24 in fig there is ‘a convoluted stretch of water tubing. The
parabolic reflectors are situated at positions which result in the reflected light: o converge
on different potions of the surface of the tubing, in this design only one water outlet is
present.
Fig 3 shows a user initiating the water flow from the water tubing 32 by creating a partial
vacuum in the tube 32 by pressing and releasing the air pump handle 20, once the stream 46
has started it will continue till the tank becomes empty or the siphon effect is broken or
releasing the tubing to atm pressure.

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: MOP WITH SQUEEZER.

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention generally relates to improvements in a mop and more particularly to a
mop with a squeezer.
BACKGROUND ART
There is known a mop in which a tubular cover made of a synthetic resin is vertically
movably mounted on its handle portion and its wiper portion is squeezed by forcing the
cover downwardly over the wiper portion. However, because such a conventional mop is
only provided with a tubular cover mounted on its wiper portion, the latter is not often
squeezed satisfactorily.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG.1is a front view illustrating one preferred embodiment of a mop according to the
present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partially exploded perspective view of the squeezing cover;
FIG.3 is a perspective view of the lower end of the squeezing cover with its rollers
removed;
and
FIG.4 and 5 are partially cross-sectional views of the same showing bow the mop is
squeezed.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
A mop 1 is provided with a hanging wiper 3 at one end of a handle 2 which can
telescopically extend and contract. A tubular squeezing cover 4 made of a synthetic resin
for covering the wiper portion 3 is fitted on the handle 2 in such a manner as to move up
and down.
The inner diameter of the squeezing cover 4 at its upper end is substantially equal to the
outer diameter of the handle 2, and threads 5 are formed on the upper end of the cover 4.
(FIG.2) A fixing cap 6 is fitted on the threaded portion 5 to securely fix the squeezing cover
4 to the handle 2 by screwing the fixing cap 6 on the threads 5.
The squeezing cover 4 has a pair of flexible bending portions 7 at opposite sides, which
allows the squeezing cover 4 to expand and shrink in diameter. Its diameter gradually
increase downwardly. Threads 8 are formed on the outer periphery of the squeezing cover
4. A clamping ring 9 is threadedly mounted on the squeezing cover 4. Threads 10 adapted
to engage the threads 8 are formed on the inner periphery of the clamping ring 9 so that the
squeezing cover 4 wi11 reduce its diameters the clamping ring 9 is tightened downwardly.
Walls 11, 11' inclining inwardly with respect to each other are provided in a symmetrical
relation at the lower end of the squeezing cover 4. A pair of oblique guide slits 12, 12' are
formed on both sides of the sloping walls 11, 11'. These guide slits 12, 12' are arranged in a
symmetrical relation so that the distance between them will gradually decrease upwardly.
Rollers 13, 13' are fitted in the respective guide slits 12, 12' so as to be movable up and
down. The rollers 13 and 13' are provided at both ends with shanks 14 adapted to be
received in the guide slits 12 and 12'.
The rollers 13, 13' are formed with a plurality of axial teeth 15 on their periphery.
Teeth 16 are also provided on the inner surface of the sloping walls 11,11' to engage the
teeth 15 on the rollers 13, 13'.
In use, in order to squeeze the wiper portion 3 of the mop 1, the fixing cap 6 in a condition
shown in FIG. 1 is loosened and then the squeezing cover 4 is forced downwardly. Since
the two rollers 13, 13' on the squeezing cover 4 are initially positioned at the lower end of
the guide slits 12, 12' where the distance between the two rollers is at its maximum, the
upper end of the wiper portion 3 is received in between the rollers 13, 13 as-shown in FIG.
4, When the squeezing cover 4 is further forced down, the rollers 13, 13' will be pressed
against the wiper portion 3 to rotate. While the teeth 15 of the rollers 13, 13’are in
engagement with the teeth 16 on the sloping walls 11, 11’, the rollers 13, 13' will move to
the mop end of the guide slits 12, 12' as shown in FIG. 5 as the squeezing cover 4 is forced
down. Thus the distance between the rollers 13, 13' is reduced, so that the wiper portion 3 is
squeezed tightly between them.
Furthermore, when the clamping ring 9 fitted on the outer surface of the squeezing cover 4
is screwed downwardly, the diameter of the squeezing cover 4 at its lower end is reduced,
so that the distance between the rollers 13, 13’ is shortened, thereby regulating the extent of
squeezing of the wiper portion 3.
On the other hand, when the squeezing cover 4 is drawn upwardly after the wiper portion 3
has been squeezed, the rollers 13, 13' Will move back to the lower end of the guide slits 12,
12' and the distance between rollers is extended, so that the squeezing cover 4 moves
smoothly toward the upper part of the wiper portion 3. The fixing cap 6 is clamped to fix
the squeezing cover 4 to the handle 2 to prevent the squeezing cover from falling off during
cleaning after the squeezing cover has been moved to the upper part of the wiper portion.
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, the wiper portion can be squeezed
securely merely by advancing the squeezing cover over the wiper portion of the mop.
