Description
Storage System for Cleaning Textiles Description Technical Field The invention relates to a storage system for cleaning textiles, including at least one container and two rails that can be mounted on a cleaning trolley.
Prior Art In commercial cleaning operations, especially in hygiene sensitive locations such as hospitals, mopping systems with pre-moistened mop covers or cloths are often used for damp cleaning. These cleaning textiles are pretreated with a cleaning liquid and stored in containers. The cleaning textiles are then spread over a mop apparatus and replaced after a short period of use by a new, pretreated mop cover. Large cleaning jobs therefore require a large number of pretreated mop covers which must be easily accessibly transported.
DE 200 80 287 U1 discloses a container for the storage of cleaning textiles, which includes a cover hingedly attached to the container. The cover is thereby constructed in such a way that several containers can be stacked. Furthermore, the container can be set down on a cleaning trolley.
Description of the Invention It is an object of the invention to provide a storage system for cleaning textiles which allows the transportation of a large number of cleaning textiles, while providing easy accessibility.
This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments are dealt with in the dependent claims.
This object is achieved with a storage system for cleaning textiles, including at least one container and two rails mountable on a cleaning trolley, whereby the container is slideably supportable in the rails and whereby the rails and the container have a mechanism by which the container can be registered in at least one position. Containers can be moveably hung in the rails and shifted in order to reach different working positions.
The rails can thereby be flexibly fastened in different mobile systems. The container can be fixed in different working positions by way of the registering mechanism. Several folded cleaning textiles can be placed parallel to one another in the container, especially mop covers. The storage system can be placed in a cleaning trolley.
The container can be closeable by a cover. The cover prevents a premature escape of the cleaning liquid incorporated into the cleaning textiles. Furthermore, containers with covers can be more easily stacked.
The rails can have a registering position which corresponds to a transport position and a second registering position which corresponds to a working position. In the transport position, the containers are space-savingly positioned for ease of maneuvering. In the working position, the containers are positioned in such a way that the mop covers can be easily removed.
The rails can have a groove in which the container is slideably supportable.
The containers are especially safely guided by the groove so that the containers are securely held during transport.
The mechanism can be formed by detents which are positioned in the groove and engageable with recesses positioned on the container. Detents are especially easily manufactured and enable a secure hold. The container can be easily removed from the registering position by slight lifting.
The container can be inclined in the working position. The accessibility of the mop covers and thereby the ergonomics of the storage system are improved by this inclination.
The cover can be separately supportable on the rails. The container can thereby be shifted back and forth in the rails, whereby the cover remains in a stationary position. For example, the container can be covered by the cover in the transport position and upon shifting into the working position, the cover remains in the transport position so that the mop covers are easily removable from the container. However, when the container is inserted into the grooves and the cover is placed on the rails, the cover and container are slightly spaced from one another and a small gap is formed.
The container with the cover placed thereon may be insertable into the grooves of the rails.
The container is thereby tightly sealed, which is advantageous, especially for longer transport distances or when the cleaning is interrupted.
The container can be insertable at both ends of the rails. The container is then also removable from both sides. Several containers can be inserted on one side, which is advantageous, especially for loading in tight spaces, since the cleaning trolley can then be completely filled and serviced from one side.
Two containers can be insertable into the rails. This increases the number of transportable containers and the amount of transportable mop covers.
A colored element can be fastenable to the containers. The colored elements allow a classification of the mop covers, which in turn are assigned to certain cleaning tasks. This, together with a color coded mop apparatus, results in a color marking of all apparatus of a mop system, which lowers the danger of incorrect use.
Brief Description of the Drawings Several exemplary embodiments of the storage system in accordance with the invention are further described in the following by way of the figures. They respectively schematically illustrate the following:
Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of a storage system positioned in a cleaning trolley;
Fig. 2 shows a storage system with two containers in the transport position;
Fig. 3 shows a storage system with one container in the working position.
Description of the Invention Figure 1 shows a storage system 1 for cleaning textiles 2, in this case mop covers, which is mounted to a cleaning trolley 4. The storage system 1 consists of several containers 3, in this illustration two. The containers 3 are slideably supported in rails 5, whereby the rails 5 are non-positively and positively fastened to the cleaning trolley 4. The rails 5 and the container 3 have a mechanism 6 with which the container 3 can be registered in two positions. The container 3 can thereby be registered in a first latch position 8, which corresponds to a transport position and in a second latch position 9, which corresponds to a working position. The rails 5 include a groove 10 in which the container 3 is shiftably supported. The mechanism 6 is formed by detents 11 which are positioned in the groove and are engageable with recesses 12 provided on the container 3. The rails 5 are symmetrically constructed so that the container 3 is insertable and removable from both ends of the rails 5. This allows a through-loading of the container 3 for the loading of a cleaning trolley 4 positioned against a wall. Furthermore, the rails 5 are in this embodiment constructed to receive two containers 3. The container 3 is closeable by a cover 7, whereby the cover 7 in a first position is separately supportable on the rails 5. The rails 5 can thereby have a further groove in which the cover 7 can be inserted, whereby the cover is additionally guided in the further groove, which leads to a reduction of the noise during transport. In a second position, the cover 7 is placed on the container 3 and the container 3 with installed cover 7 is insertable into the groove 10 of the rail 5. The cover 7 can be made in two parts, whereby the two cover parts are hingedly connected with one another, for example by way of a rotatable joint or a living hinge, so that the container 3 can be opened without complete removal of the cover 7. The containers 3 are lifted for shifting so that the detent 11 no longer engages the recess 12. The containers 3 have a preferred side 14 which has a formed handle 15 on which a colored element 13 is positioned.
In larger cleaning trolleys, rails 5 can be positioned directly parallel and adjacent to one another in order to increase their capacity. In other embodiments, a back cover reduces possible injuries, for example by fastening elements. A fairing for the cleaning trolley 4 can be positioned between the rails 5 or between rail 5 and the back cover.
Alternatively, a spacer can be provided to bridge the gap. Alternatively, open pans can be positioned in the rails 5 and the pans or containers 3 can have a double capacity. The rails 5 are preferably non-positively and/or positively fastened to the cleaning trolley 4. The cleaning trolley 4 can be provided with reinforcing grooves in which the rails 5 are positively held. The connection can be achieved by a clamping connection in which two rails or one rail and a back cover enclose a portion of the cleaning trolley 4, for example a pipe.
Drill holes in the cleaning trolley 4 can be obviated with such a connection, which simplifies the cleaning of the cleaning trolley 4 and reduces the corrosion danger.
Figure 2 shows a storage system 1 according to Figure 1. Two containers 3 are positioned in the rails 5 and their covers 7 are placed on the rails 5, whereby a gap is formed between the container 3 and the cover 7.
Figure 3 shows a storage system according to Figure 1, whereby the container 3 is positioned in the second latch position corresponding to the working position.
