A reversible mop head assembly for use with a mop handle is disclosed. The mop head assembly includes a transverse support shaft, a pair of end caps positioned at opposite ends of the transverse support shaft, a pair of opposed substrate support surfaces positioned between and supported by the end caps, and a head mount coupled to the transverse support shaft centrally between the end caps.

A mop head assembly for use with a handle and a cleaning substrate is disclosed. The mop head assembly includes a lower substrate support surface, at least one fastener channel associated with the lower substrate support surface, and a fastener strip that can be inserted into the fastener channel. Such a fastener strip is configured to couple the lower substrate support surface to a cleaning substrate. The mop head assembly may include a cross-member configured such that forces applied from the handle through a central portion of mop head are distributed toward the end edges of the lower substrate support surface.

An adjustable-size mop head assembly that may be used with a handle and a disposable cleaning substrate is disclosed. The mop head assembly includes a central frame section with a central portion and a lower substrate support surface configured to hold a disposable cleaning substrate. The mop head assembly also includes at least one adjunct frame section configured to be operably coupled to the central frame section and configured to move between a stored configuration, where the adjunct frame section is stored by the central frame section, and an extended configuration where the adjunct frame section extends from the central frame section to add width to the central frame section and the lower substrate support surfaces. A continuous web of disposable cleaning substrate that may be used with the adjustable-size mop head assembly is also disclosed. The continuous web of disposable cleaning substrate includes lines of weakness at regular intervals configured such that various widths of cleaning substrate are removable via the lines of weakness.

A multi-headed ink-jet system adapted to eject encapsulated liquids is provided, which includes a plurality of concentric piezoelectric members. Each concentric piezoelectric member has a chamber configured to carry a liquid therethrough, and each concentric piezoelectric member is in liquid communication with an exit port provided in a concentric orifice. When each concentric piezoelectric member is actuated, a liquid contained in its chamber is moved near or through the concentric orifice. The plurality of concentric piezoelectric members cooperate to control the ejection of liquids through the concentric orifice to permit one liquid to be encapsulated by another liquid to form an encapsulated droplet. A method of operating a multi-headed ink-jet system adapted to eject encapsulated liquids.

A stack of interleaved towels is provided wherein each towel is configured from a sheet of material having a first fold to generate a first panel, a second fold in the sheet substantially parallel to the first fold and creating a second panel, and a third fold substantially parallel to the first and second folds and creating a lead flap and a trailing flap. The lead flap is defined between the first fold and the third fold such that the first fold presents a leading edge for grasping by a user. The trailing flap is defined between the second fold and the third fold. Prior to interfolding, the first panel is positioned directly adjacent the second panel. Additionally, the trailing flap of each sheet of material is disposed between the lead flap and the trailing flap of an adjacent sheet of material such that the sheets of material are interleaved.

An absorbent article with an adhesive flap. The absorbent article has a crotch region, a rear waist region, and a body facing surface positionable adjacent a wearer when the article is in use. The absorbent article includes a backsheet, a liquid permeable topsheet attached to the backsheet, an absorbent structure disposed between said topsheet and said backsheet, and a flap positioned in the rear waist region of the article. The flap has first and second oppositely facing major surfaces wherein the first major surface faces the topsheet and the second major surface forms a portion of the body facing surface of the absorbent article. A substantial portion of the front edge of the flap is a free edge and an adhesive is disposed on the body facing major surface of the flap whereby the adhesive may engage the skin of the wearer when the absorbent article is in use. The adhesive flap thereby prevents the formation of a gap between the absorbent article and the wearer's skin near the rear waist region and, thus, inhibits the leakage of bodily exudates from the absorbent article.

A plate and tube condenser for a refrigerating apparatus, the plate sized to encompass the entire bottom region of a refrigerating cabinet to structurally stiffen the cabinet, the plate serving as an extended heat transfer surface for a serpentine tube applied thereto either by fixation thereto. An air flow baffle is arranged to divide the plate into inlet air and outlet air sections both opening to a front of the cabinet behind the air grill. Perforations are applied through the plate on the inlet section to allow incoming air to pass both below and above the plate.
