权利要求：
CLAIMS 1. A mop assembly comprising: a mop head including a rigid central body and a resilient peripheral body fixedly attached to said central body, said mop head having a top portion and a flat bottom portion; a mop pad constructed from flexible fabric and having a top portion engaged with said flat bottom portion of said mop head, a bottom portion adapted to engage a floor, a front portion, a back portion and opposite lateral ends with ear portions located at opposite lateral ends of said front portion; said mop head and said mop pad being constructed and arranged such that said ear portions of said mop pad are upwardly deflectable relative to the remainder of said mop pad when said mop pad is attached to said mop head, said ear portions being engageable with said mop head resilient peripheral body, said resilient peripheral body providing a resilient restorative force to said ear portions when said ear portions are deflected upwardly.
2. (cancelled)
3. The mop assembly of claim 1, wherein said resilient peripheral body comprises cut outs wherein said mop pad is attachable to said mop head with said cut outs positioned adjacent to said flexible ear portions of said mop pad.
4. (cancelled)
5. (cancelled)
6. (cancelled)
7. A mop pad comprising: a flexible fabric pad having: a bottom portion adapted to engage a floor; a top portion positioned opposite said bottom portion and adapted for attachment to a bottom portion of a rigid mop head; and a peripheral edge portion; an elastically deformable ring member that is stiffer and more elastic than said flexible fabric pad that is mounted on said top portion of said flexible fabric pad, said ring member having an inner edge with a shape conforming to an outer peripheral edge of said rigid mop head.
8. The mop pad of claim 7 wherein said ring member has an outer edge with a shape conforming generally to the shape of said peripheral edge portion of said flexible fabric pad.
9. The mop pad of claim 7, wherein said ring member is integrally meshed with said top portion of said flexible fabric pad.
10. The mop pad of claim 9 wherein said ring member is formed by over lay molding.
11. The mop pad of claim 9 wherein said ring member is formed by three- dimensional printing.
12. The mop pad of claim 8 wherein said ring member comprises at least two cutout portions therein.
13. The mop pad of claim 12: wherein said mop pad has ear portions projecting from opposite lateral ends thereof; and wherein at least one of said cutout portions is positioned adjacent each of said ear portions.
14. A mop assembly comprising: a mop head having a rigid central body portion and a generally concave front peripheral portion; and a flexible mop pad having a generally concave front peripheral portion attached to a bottom portion of said mop head; said mop assembly having a generally concave front peripheral portion, which creates an open pocket that helps to maintain floor debris in front of the mop assembly as the mop assembly is moved across a floor.
15. (cancelled)
16. (cancelled)
17. The mop assembly of Claim 14 wherein said mop pad extends forward farther than said mop head.
18. A mop assembly comprising: a mop head having a generally planar bottom portion; a mop pad having a top portion attached to said planar bottom portion of said mop head and having flexible ear portions and a debris catcher adapted to prevent debris from escaping from a front edge portion of said mop pad; said mop head including a stiffening member adapted to resiliently resist deflection forces and elastically return said flexible ear portions to a generally flat configuration after deflection thereof.
19. The mop assembly of claim 18, said stiffening member comprising resilient ear portions of said mop head.
20. (cancelled)
21. A mop assembly comprising: a mop handle; a mop head mountable on said mop handle; a spray head mounted on at least one of said mop handle and mop head; a collapsible flexible bag reservoir filled with liquid that is removably supportable on at least one of said mop head and said mop handle; and a liquid pump assembly adapted to pump said liquid from said collapsible flexible bag reservoir to said spray head.
22. The mop assembly of claim 21 further comprising an enclosure adapted to enclose and support said collapsible flexible bag reservoir.
23. The mop assembly of claim 21 wherein said collapsible flexible bag reservoir is supported by said handle.
24. The mop assembly of claim 21 wherein said collapsible flexible bag reservoir is constructed from plastic material.
25. The mop assembly of claim 24 wherein said collapsible flexible bag reservoir is formed from thin sheets of plastic material.
26. The mop assembly of claim 21 wherein said collapsible flexible bag reservoir is free standing.
27. The mop assembly of claim 21 wherein said collapsible flexible bag reservoir comprises an orifice that is configured to receive a hand spray assembly for hand dispensing said liquid from said collapsible flexible bag reservoir in a standalone mode of use of said collapsible flexible bag reservoir.
