The current Statute on Property. Industrial, of July 1929, in its consolidated text published on April 50, 195, establishes the characteristics of patentability of the inventions of an industrial group that have poj? ..

• * · object to obtain advantages over what is already known, admitting ** 'therefore as patentable, the new machines, instruments, manufacturing processes, etc. The amplitude of concepts foreseen as patentable, led the legislator to clarify (paragraphs 46) that the enumeration contained in said legal body is purely enunciative * and restrictive ·, · extending it even to the discovered ·. . * * · · · Scientific types (Arta 47).

The Decree of December 26, 1947, collecting • · · · the Order of November 18, 1955, confirms the criterion | legal that the instruments, objects, or parts of them, that contribute to the function to which they are destined, a new benefit or effect, and in definite that constitute a substantial improvement over what previously known, will also be patentable.

Well, in view of the above, and based on the articulation that includes the concepts expressed, it must be considered that the invention referred to in this report, is an industrial novelty, with features and advantages that make it worthy of the privilege of exclusive exploitation that is requested by it, rewarding the merits of those who contribute to the industry of the country an effective improvement and precisely included among those enunciated by the Law as patentable.

The present invention, as expressed in the title of this specification, refers to a⁼It can be cleaned, perfected, which has been conceived and carried out in order to obtain numerous and notable advantages in relation to other existing means of analogical final and future.^and.

The cleaning tool that the invention proposes is • • • • • of the type used for the sweeping, scrubbing and / or polishing of floors, constituting what is commonly called "scrubber"^eleven and the tool assembly being constituted by a mop, a handle or mast and a "frame" or linking element between said handle and · · · · the mop itself. * .. ·. * ♦ * ···

In the cleaning tool that is going to be described? it is not about protecting, neither the mop nor the handle, but only and exclusively the frame that links the two mentioned elements, being the mop of the type of those that are constituted by a substantially flat body and of textile nature, adopting an outline rectangular with rounded lower sides and on the edge of which are attached a multitude of fringes of a textile nature, its face being considered as superior a kind of bag or cover provided with a wide transverse opening in correspondence with its central area, through which opening the frame itself object of the invention is introduced, frame that includes the element through which the corresponding handle is fixed.

Well, in these cleaning tools the frame or frame that connects the mop and the handle can be of many types, there being one that consists in that such a bitor is metallic and at the same time foldable to be able to be inserted perfectly. in the cover, counting on a transverse axis that constitutes the means of articulation of both parts and on whose axis the element to which it is fixed is mounted or * · · · · handle, element that can be oriented to facilitate · • · ·· the management and utility of the whole.

Well, based on these characteristics , the invention is focused on the commented · · · · · frame, which presents as one of its fundamental characteristics that said frame is constituted in r * · · · · Flexible plastic material to adapt perfectly to the · · · · body of the mop, presenting at the same time a novel and innovative element joined articulately to such a frame and to which Novelty element will be fixed at the end of the handle.

Said frame or reinforcement, as already said, is constituted in plastic material, adopting a rectangular configuration of rounded lower sides and contour affected by a thickening that determines a perimetric reinforcement rib, and whose body or frame is substantially laminar and is affected by There are wide openings arranged on either side of the corresponding central and general transverse area of ​​the body, in which central and transverse zone a kind of bridge is defined whose upper section is determined by an elongated and cylindrical portion on which the already commented element to which the handle has to be fixed, this element constituted by a kind of bushing opened by one of its bases to determine the embouchure for the handle,being internally affected by a vertical projection for the perfect fixation of the handle, while external30

- 5 10 is endowed with annular ribs, with the particle that in opposition to the aforementioned mouth of the cap this presents a pair of parallel emergencies • • • • • each other with their facing faces affected by recess • • •. • arched over its entire length, defining a kind of clamp, apt to be fixed on the upper part of the exposed bridge, in such a way that said bushing is susceptible to rotate around the defined articulation point in order to orient the mop in the handling of the tool assembly.

• · · · ·

In this way it is achieved that the frame that * • · · binds to the mop and to the handle results in a minimum cost • • since it is constituted in plastic material, at the same time that due to the flexibility of this it can perfectly be located in the bags that for this purpose presents the body of the mop, and with the particularity that the sleeve in its articulation is perfectly fixed and advantageous in its application.

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive specification of a set of planes whose figures represent the following is attached:

Figure 1 .- Shows a side elevation view of the plastic frame with the upper bridge on which is the bushing intended to receive the handle can be seen as such bushing is independent of the said bridge.

Figure 2 shows a view on the upper floor 6 of the frame shown in the previous figure without the casing mentioned.

In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be observed that the improved cleaning tool proposed by the invention is constituted by a body of textile nature 1, substantially flat and of rectangular configuration with its rounded lower sides, whose body 1 is endowed with a multitude of fringes 2 fixed around the rectangular outline of the body 1, with the particularity that this carries, in correspondence with its face considered as top, a sheath 3 provided with a wide transverse and central opening,

The aforementioned frame 5 is rectangular in outline, just like the body 1 constituting the mop, with the particularity that such a frame 5 has its full contour.

Having made the description referred to in the preceding report, it is necessary to insist that the details of realization of the idea presented may vary, that is, they may suffer minor alterations, always based on the fundamental principles. of the idea, which are in terms of those that are reflected in the paragraphs of the decision made. Indeed, Article 48 of the Statute on Industrial Property establishes as non-patentable, in its third section, changes in the form, dimensions, proportions and materials of an object already patented, thus establishing the legislator's criterion that patented · »* * An idea that can give rise to a practical reality? * · And industrializable, nobody will be able to rely on it for ^ · β 'pretext of having introduced slight modifications,

This principle, as far as the scope of the protection of the patented object is concerned, is confirmed by numerous Sentences of the Supreme Court, and among them, as more strict in those dated October 16, 1954, January 25, 1959, 20 March 1964 and others.

Once the expressed concept has been established, as to the extent to which the requested protection is to be granted, the Note of Claims is then drafted, in accordance with what is established in the last paragraph of section three of Article 100 of the Law, summarizing thus the novelties that you wish to claim:
