Abstract

A modular cleaning set includes one or more separable components magnetically attached to each other, and including a broom, dustpan, mini-brooms, and one or more brushes. The handles and rods of the cleaning set may be reversibly attached to any of the individually separable components.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A magnetic mount for a tool assembly, comprising:
a block having a front surface and a back surface;
a first mounting side wall extending from the front surface to the back surface, and a second mounting side wall extending from the front surface to the back surface, wherein the first mounting side wall and the second mounting side wall are located on different sides of the mount;
a first magnetic element disposed at or near the front surface of the block;
a wall mount to mount the block on a flat surface;
two or more asymmetrical indents on the block to accommodate one or more tools; and
a second magnetic element disposed between the indents.

2. The magnetic mount of claim 1 , further comprising:
wherein the first mounting side wall and the second mounting side wall are located on opposing sides of the mount.

3. The magnetic mount of claim 2 , wherein the first mounting side wall and the second mounting side wall are curved.

4. The magnetic mount of claim 2 , wherein the front surface and the back surface are substantially flat.

5. The magnetic mount of claim 2 , wherein the front surface has a skirt that extends radially outward.

6. The magnetic mount of claim 2 , wherein the front surface has a larger surface area than the back surface.

7. The magnetic mount of claim 2 , wherein the back surface has the wall mount to secure the magnetic mount on to a surface.

8. The magnetic mount of claim 7 , wherein the wall mount includes a removable bracket which mates with a bracket slot.

9. The magnetic mount of claim 8 , wherein the removable bracket contains a through hole extending from a mount side to a wall side.

10. The magnetic mount of claim 9 , further comprising a finger indent on the wall side of the removable bracket.

11. The magnetic mount of claim 7 , wherein the removable bracket contains a shoulder along a side, that is adapted to slide within a flange in the bracket slot.

12. The magnetic mount of claim 2 , wherein the first mounting side wall includes a first side indent.

13. The magnetic mount of claim 12 , wherein the first side indent is semicylindrical.

14. The magnetic mount of claim 12 , wherein the first side indent is shaped to receive a rod or broomstick.

15. The magnetic mount of claim 12 , wherein the first side indent includes a coating to increase frictional properties.

16. The magnetic mount of claim 12 , wherein the second mounting side wall includes a second side indent.

17. The magnetic mount of claim 16 , wherein the second side indent is semicylindrical.

18. The magnetic mount of claim 16 , wherein the second side indent is shaped to receive a rod or broomstick.

19. A magnetic mount for a tool assembly, comprising:
a front surface;
a back surface;
a first mounting side wall including a first indent and extending from the front surface to the back surface;
a second mounting side wall including a second indent and extending from the front surface to the back surface;
wherein the first indent and the second indent are asymmetrical;
a first magnetic element disposed at or near the front surface; and
a second magnetic element disposed between the indents;
wherein the first mounting side wall and the second mounting side wall are located on different sides of the mount.

20. A magnetic mount for a tool assembly, comprising:
a front surface;
a back surface;
a first mounting side wall including a first semicylindrical indent and extending from the front surface to the back surface;
a second mounting side wall including a second semicylindrical indent and extending from the front surface to the back surface;
wherein the first indent and the second indent are asymmetrical;
a first magnetic element disposed at or near the front surface; and
a second magnetic element disposed between the indents;
wherein the first side indent and the second side indent are located on different sides of the mount, and include a coating to increase frictional properties.
