A drainer having: a housing including a plurality of water discharge holes at the bottom, at least one water inlet at the top, and a cavity inside, the water inlet, cavity, and the water discharge holes in communication sequentially; and a plurality of absorbent cores partially exposed from a corresponding water discharge hole such that each of the absorbent cores is configured to guide water flowing into the cavity to the exterior of the housing through the water discharge holes. The drainer may be configured with a wet mopping device and wet and dry cleaning head.

A floor cleaning equipment, including: a cleaning head body having at least one suction port at the bottom; a base plate; a water supply tank mounted to the cleaning head body and located above the base plate; a water distributor mounted to the base plate; and a communicating tube. The water supply tank includes a venting hole in communication with the exterior. A first chamber is provided inside the water supply tank and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water supply tank. The water distributor includes a housing, a water inlet provided at the top of the housing, a second chamber formed inside the housing, and a water outlet hole provided at the bottom of the housing, the volume of the second chamber being smaller than that of the first chamber. The first chamber, the water outlet, the water inlet, and the second chamber are in communication sequentially. The communicating tube puts the first chamber and the second chamber in communication. The communicating tube has a lower end opening in communication with the second chamber and an upper end opening extending into the first chamber and located in an upper portion of the first chamber.

A method for forming compression-bonding portions in a continuous body including a fiber bundle while conveying the continuous body includes: rotating a rotator to convey the continuous body; compressing a target part of each of the compression-bonding portions in the continuous body using a first compression-bonding apparatus and the rotator to form the compression-bonding portions of a first stage; and further compressing each of the compression-bonding portions of the first stage using a second compression-bonding apparatus and the rotator to form the compression-bonding portions of a second stage. At least one of the compression-bonding portions is positioned between the first compression-bonding apparatus and the second compression-bonding apparatus in the direction of rotation of the rotator when the second compression-bonding apparatus compresses the compression-bonding portion of the first stage.

A method for forming compression-bonding portions in a continuous body including a fiber bundle while conveying the continuous body includes: rotating a rotator, while holding the continuous body on an outer peripheral surface of the rotator, to convey the continuous body; compressing a target part of each of the compression-bonding portions in the continuous body using a compression-bonding member and the rotator to form the compression-bonding portions; and pressing the continuous body inwardly in a radial direction of the rotator using a pressing member, while avoiding forming the compression-bonding portions in the continuous body, the pressing member being opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the rotator, at a position upstream in the direction of rotation from the compression-bonding member.

A multi-purpose cleaning tool includes a frame having a first plate pivotally attached to a second plate. A biasing member is mounted between the first and second plates and urges the first plate and the second plate into a first position wherein the first plate and the second plate are co-planar. The frame is movable between the first position and a second position wherein the first and second plates are positioned at about a 90 degree angle from each other.

A tool includes a handle, and arm, a pivotable coupler, and an implement. The handle has a first end and an opposing second end. The arm has a third end and an opposing fourth end. The pivotable coupler couples the opposing second end of the handle to the third end of the arm. The handle and the arm are pivotable relative to each other about the pivotable coupler between a closed orientation and an open orientation. The handle and the arm extend in a substantially same direction when arranged in the closed orientation. The arm extends at an angle from the handle when arranged in the open orientation. The implement is coupled to the opposing fourth end of the arm.
