DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
Typically in prior art the cleaning devices are categorised as sweeper means, mopping means, scrubbing means, each device operating independently without replicating the function of the other. Hence a cleaning process required atleast two cleaning steps and two cleaning mechanisms – namely sweeping means and mopping means.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to create an integrated unit which performs sweeping, scrubbing and mopping.

DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
The Electric powered motorized dry and wet mop as per inventions performs three major core functions namely sweeping, scrubbing and mopping simultaneously and that saves effort and time consumed by existing solutions. This is the only mop which performs sweeping the floor, scrubbing the dirt and mopping the floor simultaneously.

The wipes are connected to the handle by a connector and a linear slide control mechanism, this unique arrangement of the handle, chassis, slide and wipes ensure different wipes are engaged depending on the user movement identified as forward movement or reverse movements.

The Core function of the mop is shown in the figure 8.0. The moveable front and rear wipe acts as the up and down direction for sweeping, scrubbing and mopping simultaneously on the floor. During the forward movement the slider slides towards the front direction as that time the front wipe lifts up direction and rear wipe engages to the floor, the middle wipes will be always in contact with the floor, as the dirt water is collected by the roller as it scrubs the dirt with the rotational effect (the curve profile is provided to the chassis) as it guides the dirt water to water duct and then it flows to the chassis drain holes, there is a slope provided in the drain tank as it guides the water to the bottom container, then the dirty water can be removed back side by using the drain plug.

During the Reverse movement the slider slides towards the reverse direction as that time the front wipe engages to the floor and rear wipe lifts up, the middle wipes will be always in contact with the floor, as the dirt water is collected by the roller as it scrubs the dirt with the rotational effect (the curve profile is provided to the chassis) as it guides the dirt water to water duct and then it flows to the chassis drain holes, there is a slope provided in the drain tank as it guides the water to the bottom container, then the dirty water can be removed back side by using the drain plug. This forward and reverse movement is done again and again to obtain clean floor.

As described above, in one aspect the invention discloses an electric mop, an innovative product which performs the role of mopping, scrubbing and cleaning a surface without any change in the gadget mechanism or any other alteration required of the device. This novel electric mop has a chassis. This chassis is moveable along the surface to be cleaned. The chassis has a body with an interior space and extending between the front end and the rear end. An upright connector is mounted pivotally within this chassis. The connector is connected removably to a handle at its other end. The said connector is made moveable between a forward direction and rearward direction for the purpose of moving the mop forward and backward during the cleaning process. The invention includes mechanism for moving the mopping elements all of which shall be mounted within the chassis. Firstly it has a guide rail means mounted within the said chassis. This guide rail is required for guiding a slider means which is required for managing the wipes in the mop. Accordingly a linear slider means is operatively associated with the said connector and mounted on the said guide rail means. The linear slider means is moveable between a forward direction and a backward direction, corresponding to the connector forward and rearward movement. The connector moves the linear slider means. The user moves the handle, the handle moves the connector and connector moves the slider. The arrangement also includes three wipes, a front wipe arrangement, a rear wipe arrangement and a middle wipe arrangement. The front wipe means is operatively associated with the said linear slider means and removably mounted pivotally to the underside of the chassis and towards the front end of chassis. The front wipe is moveable between an upward state and a downward state, corresponding to forward and rearward movement of the connector, and adapted to contact the surface to be cleaned in its downward state. Hence this first front wipe is made to move up and down on the basis of the direction of the movement of the mop. The second wipe is a rear wipe means which is similar to the front wipe means but excepting that it operates in the opposite direction with respect to the front wipe means. The rear wipe means is operatively associated with the said linear slider means and removably mounted pivotally to the underside of the chassis towards rear end of chassis. Like the front wipe means, the rear wipe means is also moveable between an upward state and a downward state, corresponding to rearward and forward movement of the connector, and adapted to contact the surface to be cleaned in its downward state. With this arrangement one of the two wipes between the front wipes and rear wipes, one wipe is in the upward state and the second one is in the downward state and thereby alternating between themselves. Beyond the two wipes, there is a third wipe referred as middle wipe. The middle wipe means is also removably mounted on the underside and around mid-portion of chassis and arranged between the front wipe means and rear wipe means, and adapted to contact the surface to be cleaned at all times. This middle wipe is at all time in contact with the surface and different from the front and rear wipe thereby. This wipe does not alternate between up and down state. The chassis also has a roller means mounted within the chassis. It includes a means rotatably mounting said roller means within the chassis. An endless belt is entrained over said roller means. An electric motor means is mounted within the chassis with a drive means connecting said motor means to said roller means. For the purpose of cleaning, a scrubber means is arranged within the chassis. This scrubber brush means is also removably mounted within the chassis operatively associated with the roller means, adapted to contact the cleaning surface to be cleaned through the opening to remove dust and dirt particles therefrom. Hence it is a scrubber means which is actually cleaning the surface and collecting the dirty water and the dirt particles into the chassis. To collect the dirty water and dirty particles, the arrangement includes a duct means in the chassis. It is a water duct means removably mounted and arranged adjacent to the scrubber brush means within the chassis to receive the dirt and water swept from the surface to be cleaned by the scrubber brush means. The dirty water and dirt particles need to be disposed off for which drain mechanism is arranged. It is a water drain tank means also removably mounted and arranged beneath the chassis and underneath the water duct means. To empty the drain tank, a drain plug means removably mounted on water drain tank means. Prior to cleaning process, typically there is a need for spraying water or cleaning solution on the surface to be cleaned which demands a spraying mechanism associated with the mop. This mop is capable of cleaning wet surface and moreso is capable of scrubbing and mopping. To achieve this purpose, there is a water spray housing means removably coupled to the handle, to spray water and/or discharging solution onto the surface to be cleaned from a tank portion adapted to hold a quantity of water. This spray mechanism/means can be of any known conventional product and the same is attached to the handle for sake of convenience and operation. Few embodiments and drawings have been illustrated in the description. Since this mop is a power mop, there is a need for arranging a motor in the system. For this an energizing means for energizing the motor is mounted within the chassis. The mop for its operation has to be actuated by the operator. For this a footpad actuator means for selective manual movement of the mop between ON and OFF conditions and operatively associated with the energizing means and mounted on chassis and the actuator portion of the footpad actuator arranged on the chassis surface, such that the motor is actuated in response to an ON/OFF signal from an actuating switch button of the engaging means provided on the upper side surface of the chassis. The said mop is unique in the said arrangement characterized in that the middle wipe means always engages the cleansing surface but front wipe means lifts upwardly above the cleaning surface with rear wipe means engaging the cleaning surface when the mop movement is in forward direction, and the rear wipe means lifts upwardly above the cleaning surface with front wipe means engaging the cleaning surface when the mop movement is in rearward direction and simultaneously scrubber means mopping and scrubbing the cleaning surface and collecting the dirty water from the cleaning surface into the water duct mounted on the chassis.
In another aspect all of the said wipe means include a washable mopping material attached thereon. This ensures that the mopping material can be cleaned at the convenience of the user and clean mopping material is available for next usage of the mop.
In another aspect, the arrangement includes a rear wiper holder means mounted on the side of the chassis, for holding the rear wiper means and attaching it to the chassis.
In another aspect, the arrangement includes a front wiper holder means mounted on the side of the chassis, for holding the front wiper means and attaching it to the chassis.
In another aspect, the arrangement includes a middle wiper holder means mounted on the side of the chassis, for holding the middle wiper means and attaching it to the chassis.
The above holders means ensure the easy motion of the front and the rear wipers means to move from upward state to downward state smoothly when the handle is operated by the user and connected therein between through connector and slider.
In another aspect, the mop being efficient collects the dirt and the dirty water from the surface continuously and thereby the arrangement comprises a slant wall disposed between the scrubber means and water duct means, so that dirty water on the floor is swept into the water duct means smoothly.
In another aspect, the said scrubber means may a sleeve tufted with plurality of brushes arranged on a shaft.
In another aspect, the arrangement includes an indicator means for indicating ON/OFF condition of the mop operably associated with the actuating means.

The applicant intends to rely on the provisional specification and drawings accompanying the provisional specification.
