Abstract

The invention relates to a surface cleaning device, comprising a support body ( 1 ), connected to a cleaning sponge ( 2 ), whereby the support body ( 1 ) has at least one plunger-shaped projection ( 3 ) on the side thereof facing the cleaning sponge ( 2 ), which is arranged in a corresponding recess ( 4 ) in the cleaning sponge ( 2 ).

Claims (26)

1. Surface cleaning device, comprising a support body (1) which is connected with a cleaning sponge (2), whereby the support body (1) on the side directed towards the cleaning sponge (2) is provided with at least one stamp-shaped projection (3) which is positioned in a complementary recess (4) of the cleaning sponge (2), whereby the cleaning sponge (2) includes at least two partial cleaning sponges (16, 17) with respectively one cleaning surface (18, 19) whereby the partial cleaning sponges (16, 17) are made of different materials and are positioned side-by-side and connected with one another, whereby the first partial cleaning sponge (16) has a higher flexibility than the second (17), respectively in the dry condition.
2. Surface cleaning device according to claim 1, characterized in that the ratio of the height (5) of the recess (4) to the height (6) of the cleaning sponge (2) is less or equal to 1.
3. Surface cleaning device according to claim 2, characterized in that the ratio is 0.3 to 0.95.
4. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 2 or 3, characterized in that the ratio is 0.5 to 0.75.
5. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the cleaning sponge (2) includes a multitude of recesses (4, 4.1, 4.2, ...), whereby a projection (3, 3.1, 3.2 ...) is positioned in each of the recesses (4, 4.1. 4.2, ...).
6. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the recesses (4, 4.1, 4.2, ...) are evenly distributed over the surface (7) of the cleaning sponge (2) directed towards the support body (1).
7. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the recesses (4, 4.1, 4.2, ...) are positioned in only a sub-area (8) of the cleaning sponge (2) and that the sub-area (8) forms a power zone with increased cleaning performance, relative to the regions (9) of the cleaning sponge (2) adjacent the sub-area (8).
8. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the cleaning sponge (2) is made of polyurethane (PU).
9. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the cleaning sponge (2) is made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
10. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that the sub-area (8) is a part of the first partial cleaning sponge (16).
11. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 10, characterized in that only the first partial cleaning sponge (16) is made of polyurethane (PU).
12. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 11, characterized in that the second partial cleaning sponge (17) is made of cellulose.
13. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 12, characterized in that the partial cleaning sponges (16, 17) are respectively made in one piece and of the same material.
14. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 13, characterized in that the partial cleaning sponges (16, 17) are respectively essentially in the shape of a rectangular prism and are connected with one another at their respectively opposing ends (20, 21).
15. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 14, characterized in that a third partial cleaning sponge (23) is positioned at the end (22) of the first partial cleaning sponge (16) directed away from the second partial cleaning sponge (17) and connected with the first partial cleaning sponge (16).
16. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 15, characterized in that the second (17) and the third partial cleaning sponge (23) are of corresponding shape and/or material.
17. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 16, characterized in that only the cleaning surface (18) of the first partial cleaning sponge (16) is provided on the side directed away from the surface (7) with a micro-fiber wiping cover (12).
18. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 17, characterized in that the support body (1) includes at least two wings (24, 25) which are foldably connected with one another by a hinge-type joint (26), whereby the joint (26) is positioned exclusively in the area of the surface (27) of the first cleaning sponge portion (16).
19. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 18, characterized in that the support body (1) is made of a polymeric material.
20. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 19, characterized in that the projections (3, 3.1, 3.2, ...) form an integral part of and are made of the same material as the support body (1).
21. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 19, characterized in that the projections (3, 3.1, 3.2, ...) are made of an elastomeric material.
22. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 21, characterized in that the projections (3, 3.1, 3.2, ...) are constructed to be elastically flexible in axial direction.
23. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 22, characterized in that the support body (1) and the cleaning sponge (2) are connected for disconnection without damage.
24. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 23, characterized in that the support body (1) has a handle (10) on the side directed away from the cleaning sponge (2).
25. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 24, characterized in that the support body (1) and the handle (10) are jointedly connected with one another by a joint (11).
26. Surface cleaning device according to one of claims 1 to 25, characterized in that the cleaning sponge (2) is covered on the side directed away from the support body (1), at least in the sub-area (8), by a micro-fiber wiping cover (12).
