Description

You invention lies in the field of cleaning devices for Surfaces and concerns a hop as well as a pillow therefor. The invention is particularly concerned with the manner of attachment of an improved upholstery cushion directed to a mop head.

In the last few years it has become possible to use cleaning equipment cut out, where exchangeable upholstery cushions o. K. instead. Reusable pillow can be used. require the latter a lot of time and effort if it is to be cleaned. Hit the development of materials and materials that look with little Have costs produced and which have the necessary absorption capacity to hold on to dust and dirt or in sieh & afztmeiiMN | there is an increasing tendency to remove the upholstery cushions in an "improper manner" in order to know how to throw them away, as "si"; subject to a bowing process. i

In parallel to the development of exchangeable upholstery cushions, successes have also been achieved in order to attach the upholstery to simplify on the mop heads. The achieved here

te require, however, relatively complicated constructions, which are manufactured and sold at correspondingly high costs and which are therefore not suitable for the task of a easy attachment and easy removal of upholstered cushions to meet.

Earlier, exchangeable upholstery cushions for hops have the * The available work surface on the upholstered cushions is not permitted limited and required multi-layered upholstery elements. Cash over the fastening devices of the upholstery cushions for attachment to the mop heads have often proven to be less durable «

The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings show: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an inventive

oozing pug; Fig. 2 is a plan view of a hop head with one thereon attached mop pillows;

3 shows an enlarged side view of part of the mop; 4 shows an enlarged sectional view of the fastening teeth used for the mop pillow

From the drawings it can be seen that a mop has a handle or stem 1 and a head 2, which by suitable means, for example old an articulated hinge 3 are connected. The head 2 is shown in a substantially triangular design and preferably made of a lightweight plastic material which is nonetheless quite stiff in relatively thin sheets. In the execution game shown here the head has a thickness of about 3 »175 mm. A yiel number plastics suitable for this purpose are nowadays commercially available.

The head 2 has a flat, level bottom surface 4, which is usually preferred in most cleaning jobs, and a flat top surface 5 which is reinforced by hipping. ^:

According to the invention, components which serve to receive _a: removable cushion pad with the head 2 to be connected. For this purpose, a hole 6 is arranged at each corner, the triangular head, 2 in the present performance example.

The holes 6 are substantially circular in the illustration and orphans pointed teeth 7 along the perimeter of each hole 6 are spaced and extend radially inward. The teeth 7 are preferably made of the same material «la the head 2 and are preferably formed in one piece with it. The teeth and their inner ends are pointed. The top ends

.. 4 · ■

extend eich in the present exemplary embodiment from the Level of the head surface 5 upwards. The height or thickness of each tooth root is the same as the thickness of the head 2, but the Edges leading to the tip are beveled. Therefore, the teeth are tapered to a relatively small thickness at their tips «. In this construction, each tooth 7 forms a three-dimensional arrow with one side being flat and the other two surfaces formed by three lines that lead to a funct and converge there.

A replaceable upholstery cushion is used for the cleaning process 8 used together with head 2. The cushion 8 consists of a fiber material, the surface of which is everywhere with a A plurality of small loops 9 is provided. The cushion has a shape that matches that of the head 2 is, wherein the rough upper and lower cushion surfaces 10 in the present embodiment are flat and even. .; The cushion 8, which is shown in the drawings, has a uniform training from a loose or hollow spaces lofted, non-woven material like nylon on top or like a combination of dacron and viscose. A loosely woven one Material can also serve the purpose. The material used for the task at hand should easily inexpensive, resiliently elastic, flexible and tensile and have a considerable resistance to deformation in order to be able to be self-supporting if the material is only a relatively has a small thickness of, for example, 12.7 mm or the like. The upholstery cushion 8 can have different sizes or shapes. It can also be located below the mop head, as shown 2 extend outwards to enlarge the cleaning surface without the need for a larger or heavier one Provide a mop support structure.

According to the invention, the operator brings the upholstered cushion together with the flat, level bottom surface 4, so that the Pillow surface 10 rests flat against surface 4. The operator can then exert pressure on the lower surface 10, for example with the thumb, so that parts of the cushion 8 extend through the holes 6 and protrude there. If this

909835/0298

State is reached, puts the cushion on the beveled Divide the rigid teeth 7 until some of the loops 8 of the cushioning pad extend over and around the flat upper tooth surfaces extend. If pressure is applied in places and a part of the cushion protrudes through the holes 6, the bottom surface becomes 10 temporarily indented at the points that correspond to the position of the holes. However, as the upholstery cushion material is resiliently elastic, the bottom surface 10 becomes its generally flat and planar shape within a short time resume, in particular during the actual cleaning work, when pressure is exerted on the cushion 8. For this reason, 100% of the bottom surface 10 stands for Cleaning purposes available when the invention is used.

It is also possible that the upholstery cushion is placed with the head to combine that a general pressure is exerted instead of a local pressure. When the hop pillow is on at SpielswAse The floor is laid and the hop head 2 is placed under pressure on one of the surfaces 10 and the hop finally under Pressure is moved back and forth, the teeth come into a singular engagement with the cushion 8, which is used for the work process with this Device is sufficient. In general, no force is exerted on the pad 8 during the actual cleaning work, the Loosening of the pillow from the head could result. As the teeth

7 extend in almost all directions, each serves in any one Direction exerted movement of the hop during the work process only to even more of the fiber loops 9 with the To bring teeth 7 into singles. Therefore, the use of the hop aids in the attachment of the cushion 8 to the hop head, and it there is no reason for the operator to fear that the cleaning pad may constantly come loose.

The pillow 8 can be easily removed from the head 2 by pulling it down through the holes 6 with your fingers is pressed so that the fiber loops 9 loosen, or thereby, that one foot on the protruding part of the cushion

8 put on and pulled with the handle 1 on the hop. The fiber loops 9 are flexible enough to prepare relatively low pressure, which is discussed in the above

Catfish is applied to disengage with the teeth.

If a surface of the pillow 8 is soiled, the pillow can be turned on the head 2, so that the surface is clean is available · by having the pillow each easy to remove, and the low cost of such a pad makes removal and replacement more necessary Pillows and attaching new pillows made a lot easier.

According to the invention, a lightweight one can be produced at low cost Mop and mop head are provided in conjunction with an exchangeable, one-piece cleaning pad that is very is effective, easy to install or remove without difficulty, and performs many cleaning jobs can.
