Description

The present invention relates to a container, in particular for use with a hand cleaner for smooth surfaces, as well as a cleaning set.

Containers for cleaning devices are known from the prior art. However, it has been found that in particular containers for scrapers of smooth surfaces such as window panes or door surfaces or curved surfaces such as passenger cars, currently have a number of disadvantages. Thus, in particular, there is a problem that the water gradually fouled for cleaning, since the dirt to be cleaned from the surface to be cleaned is flushed into the container. Furthermore, there are a number of ergonomic disadvantages of the known container for cleaning equipment. Although elements for wringing example, textile floor wipers are known, but these are not suitable for use with a window wiper. In addition, it is cumbersome for a user to transport the containers known from the prior art. For example, a handle of the container must always be held in the hand with a free hand in order to lift it from one point to another.

The WO 2006/098898 A2 describes containers with a rim member and a tank member, wherein the rim member is disposed on an open side of the tank member and having a scraper with a drain, wherein in the tank member, a partition wall is provided, which separates a first tank portion and a second tank portion from each other, wherein the edge element is arranged on the tank element, that liquid collected at the scraper passes through the drain only in the second tank area, wherein integrally formed with the edge element is a holding portion for holding a mop stopped in the container.

The DE 94 04 221 U1 , the DE 17 62 650 U , the US 2,664,584 A and the GB 2 484 367 A reveal more containers for use with hand cleaners.

The object of the present invention is to provide a container which overcomes the disadvantages known from the prior art and in particular allows easy handling and functional integration of various functions of a container in cooperation with a smooth surface cleaning device.

This object is achieved with a container according to claim 1. Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

According to the invention, the container comprises an edge element and a tank element, wherein the edge element is arranged on an open side of the tank element and has a scraper with a drain, wherein in the tank element a partition wall is provided, which separates a first tank region and a second tank region from each other, wherein the Edge element is arranged or can be arranged on the tank element such that liquid collected on the scraper passes through the drain only in the second tank area. The essential components of the container are thus an edge element and a tank element. The tank element is preferably trough-shaped and has an open side, wherein the remaining sides of the tank element are closed. On the open side of the tank element, the edge element is arranged, wherein a positive fixing of the edge element on the tank element is preferred in one embodiment. On the edge element a scraper is provided, which preferably serves to liquid, which is present on a cleaning device, for example, a pre-scrubber for cleaning windows or a hand cleaner for smooth surfaces, absorb and discharge via a drain. As prewashing a hand cleaning device is particularly considered, which has a textile or sponge-like coating and is suitable for wetting and pre-cleaning a smooth surface. In this case, the tank element is preferably subdivided into a first tank region and a second tank region, wherein the liquid collected at the scraper should only reach the second tank region. The subdivision of the tank element into a first tank region and a second tank region is preferably ensured by a partition wall provided in the tank element. In particular, the partition wall can thus only be a planar partition wall between two tank areas. Alternatively, the second tank area could be embedded in a kind of own tub in the first tank area. In other words, the partition is preferably part of a separate container, which is arranged within the first tank area. The first tank area is preferably provided for the storage of clean cleaning water, while the second tank area for storing the polluted water, which has already been deducted from the surface to be cleaned, is provided. The advantage of providing two tank areas has the advantage that clean liquid can be separated from the already contaminated liquid and thus the cleaning quality for a hand cleaner or a similar cleaning appliance can be significantly increased. In addition, the inventive arrangement of the second tank area and the scraper to each other so that liquid collected on the scraper can only get into the second tank area, particularly advantageous to a safe separation of the polluted Liquid to reach the still clean liquid.

In a preferred embodiment, the first tank area has a larger volume than the second tank area. It has been found that in the normal use of a window cleaning device or other smooth surface cleaner always a larger amount of clean liquid is needed as storage space for the contaminated liquid is needed. This is due in particular to the fact that during the use of the hand cleaner for smooth surfaces or, for example, a pre-scrubber always a certain amount of liquid remains on the surface to be cleaned or evaporated or otherwise lost. Therefore, by adjusting the volume of the first and second tank portions such that the first tank portion is larger than the second tank portion, the container is particularly advantageous for adapting the container for daily use with a hand cleaner or other smooth surface cleaner.

Particularly preferably, the volume of the first tank area is 1.1 to 5 times, preferably 1.5 to 3 times and particularly preferably 1.8 to 2 times the volume of the second tank area. In this case, the maximum amount of liquid that can be received in the first or in the second tank area is defined as the volume of the first or the second tank region. Thus, the term "volume" in particular describes the inner volume respectively provided in the first tank area and in the second tank area. It has been found to be particularly preferred that the first tank area has a 1.1- to 5-fold volume of the second tank area. This volume ratio encompasses all variants of a container provided and tested within the scope of the present invention. In this case, the large range of 1.1 to 5 of the ratio of the volumes to each other ensures that the container is used in various applications in which more or less fresh water is needed for cleaning and consumed, wherein at least one fifth of the fresh water amount of dirty water absorbed by the second tank area and can be disposed of. The particularly preferred range of 1.5 to 3 for the volume ratio of the first tank area to the second tank area represents a good compromise of on the one hand sufficiently large amount of clean liquid and on the other hand sufficient compactness of the container 1.8 to 2 for the volume ratio of the first tank area to the second tank area is particularly important in terms of the compactness of the container and the simultaneous suitability of the use of the container for a hand cleaner, particularly preferably a puller for cleaning smooth surfaces, which an internal tank and particularly suitable for use of the container with a pre-scrubber.

Preferably, the second tank area can be fixed to the edge element, wherein the second tank area is held by the edge element within the first tank area can be arranged. In this preferred embodiment, the first tank area can occupy the entire tank element, whereby this is particularly simple and does not require partitions. In addition, the first tank area can thus be used with different interpretations of a second tank area. In particular, can be provided by the modular structure of the container, a first tank area, which can be equipped with different sized tank areas. Thus, it is possible to optimally adapt the container to the expected working conditions. Further preferably, it is possible to lift the second tank area, which is designed to collect the dirty fluid collected on the wiper, together with the edge element from the tank element and to empty it separately from the first tank area. In this way it is possible to dispose of the dirty cleaning fluid from the second tank area without at the same time emptying the first tank area. In particular, this can preferably be saved water.

Particularly preferably, the dividing wall surrounds the second tank region and has on its open side engagement means for positive engagement with the edge element. The partition, which separates the first tank area from the second tank area, is preferably formed in this embodiment as a container containing the second tank area. This container is equipped on its open side with engaging means, which are designed for preferably positive locking fixing on the edge element. In particular, these engagement means are preferably arrow-shaped, or protruding latching sections, which are provided for clicking on a corresponding recess on the edge element. The second tank region is thus particularly preferably held on the edge element, wherein the edge element in turn is preferably supported on the tank element, which has the first tank region. Thus, the second tank area is held indirectly via the edge element in the second tank area.

Alternatively, the first tank area and the second tank area may preferably be formed integrally with each other. In this case, the partition wall is preferably formed integrally with the first tank area and the second tank area. Alternatively, the partition could also be used as a separately mountable component is preferably fixed to the edge element, be inserted into the tank element and accordingly can pass to the inner walls of the tank element in such a fluid-tight manner that the first tank area is separated from the second tank area. It is understood that when the partition is formed as a separate component, the tank element is simpler and thus preferably better stackable and easier to manufacture. The partition can be fixed as a separate component in a simple manner either form-fitting manner on the tank element or positively on the edge element.

Further preferably, the partition wall is preferably formed integrally with the tank element. Although this reduces the stackability of tank elements, which are formed with a partition provided integrally therein. It is understood, however, that with advantage less installation effort for the production of a tank element with two tank areas is required. Furthermore, the connection between the partition wall and the tank element is particularly dense when the partition is formed integrally with the tank element.

More preferably, the open side of the tank member extends along a horizontal plane and has a first projected area in the horizontal plane, the tank member having a bottom opposite the open side having a second projected area in the horizontal plane, the first projected area larger is considered the second projected area. The horizontal plane in the present case is an auxiliary geometry, which preferably lies in the area which is spanned by the open side of the tank element.

In the event that the open side of the tank element has no planar extension, but for example, depressions and possibly slopes, the horizontal plane is parallel to the predominant edges or surfaces of the open side of the tank element. Particularly preferably, the horizontal plane is defined as the plane in which the sum of the deviations of all points on the open side of the tank element has its lowest value. The first projected area of the open side of the tank element in the horizontal plane is thus an expression of how large the opening formed by the tank element on its open side. In this case, the first projected area particularly preferably refers to the inside of the wall of the tank element. In other words, the first projected area is preferably formed by the inner circumference of the tank element at its open side. By a similar definition, the second projected area in the horizontal plane is the extension of the bottom of the tank element parallel to the horizontal plane. Particularly preferably, the extent of the soil is less than the extent of the open side of the tank element. This results in advantage with good stackability of the tank element. In the present case, the ability to stack a multiplicity of different tank elements and stack them into one another at least in sections, whereby a good stackability is characterized in that a certain number of tank elements can be accommodated in as small a space as possible, is particularly well-known as stackability. This proves to be particularly advantageous if a plurality of tank elements and other components of the container to be shipped in packages. It is understood that the stackability of the tank element is particularly good if the outer geometry of the tank element particularly in a favorable manner over a large area coincides with the internal geometry of an adjacently arranged tank element. Furthermore, a uniformly increasing cross section from the bottom of the tank element to the open side of the tank element is preferably preferred in order to improve the stackability. In other words, the projected area of the inner cross section of the tank element, starting at the first projected area up to the second projected area, increases continuously and as uniformly as possible, that is to say preferably with a gradient which changes only insignificantly. It goes without saying that parallel to this, with substantially constant wall thickness of the tank element, the projected area of the outer geometry of the tank element also increases substantially uniformly and uniformly.

Particularly preferably, the area of the tank element projected into the horizontal plane increases continuously from the bottom to the open side. This improves on the one hand the stackability of the tank element with a plurality of further identically designed tank elements. Furthermore, a tank element, the cross section of which increases continuously from the bottom to the open side, can be produced particularly simply, since in particular preferably simple, preferably flat geometries can be produced and, on the other hand, undercuts can be avoided which would complicate the corresponding production tools, in particular injection molding tools , It is understood that preferably in an embodiment of the tank element with integrally formed first tank area and second tank area in the first tank area and second tank area, the corresponding properties of the projected area increasing from the bottom of the respective tank area to the open side of the respective tank area are to be applied accordingly. In other words, both in the first tank area and in the second tank area, the projected area in the horizontal plane thus decreases from the respective floor of the area to the respective open side of the area to. Furthermore, it should be understood that preferably the first projected area of the first tank area is larger than the second projected area of the first tank area and the first projected area of the second tank area is larger than the second projected area of the second tank area.

Particularly preferably, the partition wall has a V-shaped cross-section, wherein the closed side of the V's of the partition wall is turned towards the open side of the tank element. In other words, thus, the V formed by the partition wall is opened downward. In other words, the open side of the V formed by the partition is in the area between the bottom of the first tank area and the bottom of the second tank area. In this way, the partition wall is also stackable, since the closed side of the partition wall of a first tank element can be inserted into the open side of the partition of a second tank element and thus a plurality of tank elements can be stacked in the smallest possible space.

In a further preferred embodiment, the scraper on a base body and a web, wherein the base body is formed substantially flat and wherein the web extends transversely to the base body and wherein the web material and / or positively fixed to the body or integral with the Basic body is formed. The scraper is preferably a region on the edge element, on which a cleaning device, such as a pre-scrubber or a smooth surface puller, stripped or emptied, the fluid collected at the scraper passes through the provided on the scraper drain in the second tank area. For this purpose, the scraper on a base body, which is formed substantially flat. As an essentially flat formation or extension of the base body, in particular an extension is defined which has its predominant portion parallel to a plane, preferably parallel to the horizontal plane. It is understood that as a deviation from the extension of these parallels to the horizontal plane a local depression or a continuous and the lowest point of the body in the region of the outflow extending extension of the body is provided so that water collected by the scraper always driven by gravity flows in the direction of the drain. Furthermore, the base body preferably has a further deviation from the flat design, since preferably a lifting section is provided which also has a different extension from the parallel to the horizontal plane. The web of the scraper extends substantially transversely to the base body, wherein an extension at an angle of approximately 80-110 ° relative to the main extension direction of the base body is defined as substantially transversely to the base body in the present case. In particular, the web serves to strip liquid contained in the pre-scrubber by pressing and following along a pre-scrubber transversely to the extension direction of the web, this liquid finally flowing to the outflow via the web and the main body and reaching the second day area. The web is preferably formed as a rib, so its wall thickness is so low relative to the extent transverse to the base body. Further preferably, a plurality of webs is provided on the base body, wherein the webs particularly preferably extend substantially parallel to each other. By a plurality of substantially parallel webs formed scraper for a particularly easy to manufacture. On the other hand, it is possible with this scraper to wring out liquid sucked up in a pre-scrubber in a particularly effective manner and to transport it via the webs and the main body into the outflow and thus into the second tank area. In a first embodiment, the webs are integrally formed on the base body. As a result, a particularly low installation effort is required because the scraper is already made in one piece and thus the highest possible strength of the connection between web and body is given. In a further alternative preferred embodiment, web and body can be designed as separate components and fixed in a form-fitting manner to each other. This results in that the web at different attachment positions, which may be provided on the body for it, can be fixed and in particular a certain number of webs at a certain number of attachment positions on the body can be fixed. This results in an increased variability of the scraper, which is thus adaptable to different sized pre-scrubber and thus allows an improvement of the stripping process for liquid from the pre-scrubber.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the web on its side facing away from the base body on a rounding. This rounding is particularly preferably the area-wise enclosure of a pre-scrubber, which is guided over the webs away on the circumference. As a result, liquid can be stripped off over an enlarged section of the circumference of the pre-scrubber, as a result of which the stripping process on the scraper is significantly improved. Further preferably, the web is curved, with the concave side of the curvature of the web pointing to the drain. It has been shown that a curvature of the extent of the web in such a way that the concave side of the curvature of the web points to the drain, on the one hand increases the stability of the web and on the other hand improves the stripping process on the web.

Particularly preferably, the scraper on a plurality of webs, which are spaced from each other. Particularly preferably, the scraper on two to ten webs, which are each arranged in half on each side of the drain. In this way it can be achieved that from two sides effectively a pre-scrubber can be stripped, which significantly improves the ergonomics of the container, as regardless of the position of the container relative to the user coming from two directions easily strip a pre-scrubber on the scraper and thus can dry off. In a particularly preferred embodiment, a total of six webs are provided on the scraper, wherein in each case three webs are arranged on each side of the outflow. It has been shown that this embodiment with six webs on the one hand allows a favorable production, has a particularly low weight and yet allows a sufficiently high stripping or drying action of the scraper.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the edge element and the tank element are formed as separate components, which are positively secured to one another, wherein on the edge element fixing portions are formed, which are designed for positive engagement with the tank element. By the edge element and the tank element can be produced as separate components and preferably also available, results in a particularly good stackability of the units tank element and edge element. The edge element in particular represents an undercut geometry on the open side of the tank element, which would prevent a plurality of tank elements from being stacked in one another. Therefore, it is preferable that, at least for the purpose of manufacturing and transporting containers according to the present invention, the rim member and the tank member are formed separately, each being separately stackable and then positively assembled and connected with each other by a user in a simple manner can. The attachment sections on the edge element and preferably also on the tank element are designed to be clipped together by resilient sections. Particularly preferred for this purpose are excellent attachment portions formed on the edge element in order to achieve a positive recess with a corresponding recess or a correspondingly formed recess on the tank element.

According to the invention, the edge element has a lifting section which is designed to engage with a hand cleaner. The lifting section preferably has a corresponding section into which a hand cleaner can be inserted and which can transfer a force acting transversely or perpendicularly to the horizontal plane from the hand cleaner via the lifting section to the edge element and also to the tank element fixed to the edge element. Advantageously, the lifting section is arranged substantially centrally on the edge element with respect to the horizontal plane, in order to be able to transfer a lifting force from the hand cleaner as centrally as possible to the container, so that the liquid contained in the tank element can be prevented from becoming unwrapped. The lifting section preferably has two flanks which can be brought into mutual positive engagement with the hand cleaner at a distance from one another on two sides of the style of a hand cleaner. For this purpose, the lifting portion preferably has a curvature, which prevents slipping out of the hand cleaner from the positive engagement with the lifting portion.

Further preferably, a drain wall is provided at the outlet, which advantageously has a toothing. The drainage wall at the drain is particularly preferably used for targeted stripping of a pre-scrubber or other cleaning device directly into the drain. Furthermore, the drain wall preferably prevents fluid flowing in the direction of the outflow or the opening of the drain from passing past it and to the outer wall of the container and being able to run down the outside of the container. The toothing of the drainage wall preferably improves the stripping process on the drainage wall, as the teeth generate a locally higher contact pressure to a pre-scrubber, whereby more dirty liquid is squeezed out of the pre-scrubber.

Further preferably, an overflow protection is provided on the scraper. The overflow guard is preferably a wall on the scraper, which is adjacent to the geometry of the body and serves to a spill of liquid, which is collected on the scraper or on the base body, over the outer wall of the edge member or the container to prevent. Particularly preferably, the overflow protection is provided on the side facing away from the lifting section of the scraper. Particularly preferably, the overflow protection has a curvature, wherein the concavely curved side of the overflow protection points in the direction of the open side of the container. In this way, the overflow protection prevents even more efficient spilling of the liquid.

According to the invention, there is provided a cleaning kit comprising a container and a hand cleaner, the hand cleaner being adapted to engage a lift portion on the container to lift the container, the lift portion having two spaced apart flanks which are designed to at least partially embrace a handle of the hand cleaner. The container described above is particularly suitable for use with a hand cleaner. In this case, hand cleaner and container form a cleaning set, in which the preferred properties of the container are further potentiated by the fact that the container is designed to be lifted by a hand cleaner. For this purpose, the container has a lifting portion, preferably with two flanks, which attack particularly easy and safe on the hand cleaner to allow safe carrying of the container.
