Latest Patents

Townsend's latest patents include a groundbreaking apparatus designed for cleaning and disinfecting hard surfaces. This invention features a suction and germicidal spray system that effectively removes soils and bacteria from hard surface floors in both dry and wet states. The apparatus is equipped with a head assembly that carries longitudinally spaced, resiliently flexible strips, which engage the floor surface. It also includes support means for floor engagement, suction application to the space between the strips, and a mechanism for applying cleaning liquid to the floor surface. This innovative design allows users to move the head assembly back and forth, ensuring the effective suction removal of liquid, soils, and bacteria from the floor.

Another patent by Townsend focuses on the removal of soils and bacteria from hard floor surfaces using two resiliently flexible, transversely parallel strips. By applying suction to the space between these strips, the lower edge portions engage the floor surface, allowing for the effective displacement of the strips while applying disinfectant or cleaning liquid outside the space. This method ensures that the surface is adequately wetted, enhancing the cleaning process.
