Description

       

  
 



  Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungsgerät insbesondere zur Reinigung von überlappenden Bereichen bei Schiebetüren von Bad- oder Duschkabinen. 



  Das Reinigen von überlappenden Bereichen bei Schiebetüren, beispielsweise bei Schiebetüren von Bad- oder Duschkabinen, ist insofern besonders schwierig, als diese überlappenden Bereiche äusserst schlecht zugänglich sind. Es wird deshalb in vielen Fällen auf eine gründliche Reinigung dieser Bereiche gänzlich verzichtet oder es wird versucht, mit letztendlich ungeeigneten Hilfsmitteln eine provisorische Reinigung dieser schlecht zugänglichen Bereiche durchzuführen. 



  Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Reinigungsgerät zu schaffen, mittels dessen insbesondere die Reinigung von überlappenden Bereichen bei Schiebetüren von Bad- oder Duschkabinen ohne grosse Mühen möglich ist. 



  Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Reinigungsgerät vorgeschlagen, welches sich auszeichnet durch einen aus elastischem Material hergestellten und auf einem mit einem Handgriff versehenen Griffteil gelagerten Reinigungsschieber, welche in Form eines langgestreckten Profiles ausgebildet und mit mindestens zwei symmetrisch zueinander angeordneten Abstreiflippen versehen ist. 



  Mit einem derart gestalteten Reinigungsgerät wird die Möglichkeit eröffnet, den überlappenden Bereich von Schiebetüren gründlichst zu reinigen, da der Reinigungsschieber problemlos in die überlappenden Bereiche eingeführt und dann längs dieser Bereiche auf- oder abbewegt werden kann mit dem Erfolg, dass die Abstreiflippen den im ansonsten schlecht zugänglichen Bereich befindlichen Schmutz entfernen. 



  Vorzugsweise ist der Reinigungsschieber auf eine Achse des Griffteiles drehbar gelagert. 



  Hierdurch wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass die Handhabung des gesamten Reinigungsgerätes vereinfacht wird, da der Handgriff beim Auf- oder Abwärtsbewegen des gesamten Reinigungsgerätes relativ zum eigentlichen Reinigungsschieber gedreht werden kann. 



  Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von abhängigen Ansprüchen. 



  In der beigefügten Zeichnung sind Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt, welche im folgenden näher beschrieben werden. Es zeigen: 
 
   Fig. 1 eine Ansicht eines erfindungsgemässen Reinigungsgerätes, teilweise im Schnitt dargestellt 
   Fig. 2 eine Teilansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles II in Fig. 1

  Das in Fig. 1 vollständig dargestellte Reinigungsgerät zur Reinigung von überlappenden Bereichen bei Schiebetüren, insbesondere bei Glasschiebetüren von Bad- oder Duschkabinen, ist insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehen. Das Reinigungsgerät 10, gemäss dargestelltem Ausführungsbeispiel, weist einen Handgriff 11, einen Reinigungsschieber 12 sowie ein Tragteil 13 auf, wobei das Tragteil 13 mit dem Handgriff 11 fest verbunden ist und gemeinsam mit diesem ein Griffteil bildet, mittels dessen der Reinigungsschieber 12 in die zu reinigenden, überlappenden Bereich von Schiebetüren eingeführt werden kann. 



  Der Reinigungsschieber 12 selbst ist aus einem elastischen Material, vorzugsweise aus Gummi hergestellt und  weist die Form eines langgestreckten Profiles auf, welches mit mindestens zwei symmetrisch zueinander angeordneten Abstreiflippen 14 versehen ist, was Fig. 2 besonders anschaulich zeigt. 



  Der Reinigungsschieber 12 ist auf einer Achse 15 des vorstehend definierten Griffteiles gelagert, und zwar vorteilhafterweise sowohl drehbar wie auch auswechselbar, d.h., der Reinigungsschieber 12 ist lösbar mit der Achse 15 verbunden. Hierdurch wird die Auswechslung eines abgenutzten Reinigungsschiebers vereinfacht. 



  Das Tragteil 13 ist vorteilhafterweise einstückig an eines der Enden der Achse 15 angeformt und weist im Anschlussbereich zur Achse 15 einen ersten Stegabschnitt 16 auf, der sich von der Achse 15 weg in Richtung des Handgriffes 11 erstreckt und in einen zweiten Stegabschnitt 17 übergeht, der seinerseits quer zur Längsachse des Handgriffes 11 verläuft und in das im Handgriff 11 formschlüssig festgelegte Endstück 18 des Tragteiles 13 übergeht. 



  Der Handgriff 11 ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt, wodurch die Möglichkeit eröffnet wird, das Endstück 18 des Tragteiles 13 formschlüssig im Handgriff 11 einzugiessen. 



  Wie Fig. 1 besonders deutlich macht, verläuft die Längsachse des Handgriffes 11 rechtwinklig oder nahezu rechtwinklig zur Längsachse des Reinigungsschiebers 12 und  zwar etwa in der Mitte des langgestreckten Reinigungsschiebers 12. 



  Durch den erwähnten ersten Stegabschnitt 16, der sich von der Achse 15 in Richtung des Handgriffes 11 erstreckt, wird ein relativ grosser Freiraum zwischen dem Reinigungsschieber 12 und dem zweiten Stegabschnitt 17 des Tragteiles 13 geschaffen, so dass der Reinigungsschieber 12 vergleichsweise weit zwischen zwei überlappenden Schiebetüren eingeschoben werden kann. 



  Das Tragteil 13 sowie die Achse 15 sind vorzugsweise einstückig aus Metall hergestellt. 



  Fig. 2 macht deutlich, dass der Reinigungsschieber 12 im Querschnitt einen vergleichsweise schmalen Mittelsteg 19 aufweist, der auch die Bohrung für die Achse 15 enthält. An den äusseren Rändern dieses Mittelsteges 19 sind die schon erwähnten Abstreiflippen 14 angeformt, wobei ein Paar von Abstreiflippen 14 am Ende eines gewölbten Bereiches 20 angeformt und in seiner Gesamtbreite geringfügig kleiner ist als das am anderen Rand des Reinigungsschiebers 15 angeformte, zweite Paar von Abstreiflippen 14. 



  In Fig. 3 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Reinigungsgerätes gezeigt, bei dem der Reinigungsschieber 12 eine etwa rechteckförmige Querschnittsform aufweist und an seinen Längskanten mit gleichsinnig abgeschrägten und insgesamt auch die gleiche Breite aufweisenden Abstreiflip pen 14 versehen ist. Auch hier ist der Mittelsteg 19 mit der Bohrung für die Achse 15 zum Aufstecken des Reinigungsschiebers 12 auf diese Achse 15 ausgestattet. 



   Die Ausführungsbeispiele nach den Fig. 2 und 3 stehen stellvertretend für vielfältige Ausführungsformen eines Reinigungsschiebers 12. Es wird deutlich, dass geometrische Querschnittsform und Breitenverhältnisse der Paare der Abstreiflippen 14 je nach Anwendungsfall gestaltet werden können. 



  In Fig. 3 sind mit dem Bezugszeichen 21 bei einander überlappende Schiebetüren bezeichnet, die mittels des erfindungsgemässen Reinigungsgerätes im überlappenden Bereich besonders problemlos gereinigt werden können. 



  
 



  The present invention relates to a cleaning device in particular for cleaning overlapping areas in sliding doors of bathroom or shower cubicles.



  Cleaning overlapping areas in sliding doors, for example in sliding doors of bath or shower cubicles, is particularly difficult in that these overlapping areas are extremely difficult to access. In many cases, thorough cleaning of these areas is therefore completely dispensed with, or an attempt is made to temporarily clean these poorly accessible areas using ultimately unsuitable aids.



  The present invention has for its object to provide a cleaning device, by means of which in particular the cleaning of overlapping areas in sliding doors of bath or shower cubicles is possible without great effort.



  To solve this problem, a cleaning device is proposed, which is characterized by a cleaning slide made of elastic material and mounted on a handle part provided with a handle, which is designed in the form of an elongated profile and is provided with at least two symmetrically arranged wiper lips.



  With a cleaning device designed in this way, the possibility is opened of thoroughly cleaning the overlapping area of sliding doors, since the cleaning slide can be inserted into the overlapping areas without problems and then moved up or down along these areas, with the result that the wiping lips are otherwise bad Remove any dirt in the accessible area.



  The cleaning slide is preferably rotatably mounted on an axis of the handle part.



  This has the advantage that the handling of the entire cleaning device is simplified since the handle can be rotated relative to the actual cleaning slide when the entire cleaning device is moved up or down.



  Further features of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.



  In the accompanying drawing, embodiments of the invention are shown, which are described in more detail below. Show it:
 
   Fig. 1 is a view of a cleaning device according to the invention, partially shown in section
   FIG. 2 is a partial view in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1
   Fig. 3 is a partial view of another embodiment of the invention.
 



  The cleaning device shown completely in FIG. 1 for cleaning overlapping areas in sliding doors, in particular in sliding glass doors of bath or shower cubicles, is provided with the reference number 10 as a whole. The cleaning device 10, according to the illustrated embodiment, has a handle 11, a cleaning slide 12 and a support part 13, the support part 13 being firmly connected to the handle 11 and forming a handle part together with the latter, by means of which the cleaning slide 12 can be cleaned , overlapping area of sliding doors can be inserted.



  The cleaning slide 12 itself is made of an elastic material, preferably rubber, and has the shape of an elongated profile, which is provided with at least two symmetrically arranged wiper lips 14, which is shown particularly clearly in FIG. 2.



  The cleaning slide 12 is mounted on an axis 15 of the handle part defined above, advantageously both rotatably and interchangeably, i.e. the cleaning slide 12 is detachably connected to the axis 15. This simplifies the replacement of a worn cleaning slide.



  The support part 13 is advantageously integrally formed on one of the ends of the axis 15 and has a first web portion 16 in the connection area to the axis 15, which extends away from the axis 15 in the direction of the handle 11 and merges into a second web portion 17, which in turn extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the handle 11 and merges into the end piece 18 of the supporting part 13 which is positively fixed in the handle 11.



  The handle 11 is preferably made of plastic, which opens up the possibility of positively casting the end piece 18 of the supporting part 13 into the handle 11.



  As is particularly clear in FIG. 1, the longitudinal axis of the handle 11 runs at right angles or almost at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the cleaning slide 12, approximately in the middle of the elongated cleaning slide 12.



  The mentioned first web section 16, which extends from the axis 15 in the direction of the handle 11, creates a relatively large free space between the cleaning slide 12 and the second web section 17 of the supporting part 13, so that the cleaning slide 12 is comparatively far between two overlapping sliding doors can be inserted.



  The support member 13 and the axis 15 are preferably made in one piece from metal.



  FIG. 2 makes it clear that the cleaning slide 12 has a comparatively narrow central web 19 in cross section, which also contains the bore for the axis 15. The wiping lips 14 already mentioned are formed on the outer edges of this central web 19, a pair of wiping lips 14 being formed on the end of a curved area 20 and the overall width being slightly smaller than the second pair of wiping lips 14 formed on the other edge of the cleaning slide 15 .



  In Fig. 3 an embodiment of a cleaning device is shown, in which the cleaning slide 12 has an approximately rectangular cross-sectional shape and is provided on its longitudinal edges with the same beveled and overall having the same width wipers 14. Here, too, the central web 19 is equipped with the bore for the axis 15 for plugging the cleaning slide 12 onto this axis 15.



   The exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 3 represent various embodiments of a cleaning slide 12. It is clear that the geometric cross-sectional shape and the width ratio of the pairs of the wiper lips 14 can be designed depending on the application.



  In Fig. 3, the reference numeral 21 denotes overlapping sliding doors which can be cleaned particularly easily in the overlapping area by means of the cleaning device according to the invention.
