Description

DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a scourer, comprising a textile fabric, which is provided with a scouring agent composition, wherein the scouring agent composition comprises a binder and scouring particles, wherein the textile fabric has a cleaning surface with a relief pattern.
PRIOR ART
From DE 298 02 421 U1 a scourer is known, which has as carrier material a textile fabric which is provided with a scouring agent composition. The textile fabric consists of a non-woven fabric which was strengthened mechanically by needling or by water-jet. A scouring agent composition is applied onto the fabric, which scouring agent composition comprises a chemical binder and abrasive particles. The previously known scourer is suitable for taking up or absorbing aqueous substances and for the loosening of firmly adherent stains owing to the abrasive effect of the scouring agent composition.
In the case of a thin, flexibly constructed scourer, it is disadvantageous that with this, through restricted possibilities for gripping, the transfer of force is restricted. Furthermore, the transfer of force takes place predominantly only at the site at which pressure is exerted onto the scourer.
PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is based on the problem of providing a scourer with a more effective transfer of force.
This problem is solved by the features of Claim 1. The subclaims refer to advantageous configurations.
To solve the problem, the fabric is arranged on a sponge body. The textile fabric is formed here as non-woven fabric of synthetic fibres and is preferably strengthened by means of water-jet. The thickness of the fabric lies between 0.8 and 3 mm and the fabric weight is between 50 and 200 g/mm2. Such fabrics have a low surface weight and a small thickness with, at the same time, a high tensile strength. The sponge body forms a supporting body which offers a plurality of possibilities for gripping. Thereby, force can be exerted effectively in various ways onto the fabric which is provided with the scouring agent composition, so that a good cleaning performance results with respect to firmly adherent stains. The relief pattern additionally improves the cleaning effect of the scourer. Here, the relief pattern can be formed by a nubbed structure, wherein the nubs are arranged hexagonally. Thereby, it can be prevented that the dirt clogs the abrasive surface, because the dirt collects in the depressions between the nubs and thereby does not influence the scouring process.
The sponge body can be formed from an open-cell synthetic foam or a natural foam. The foam can be formed here in particular from polyurethane or viscose. Foams of these materials are able to be produced at a favourable cost and have good mechanical properties, so that they are able to be gripped well and can transfer forces. Viscose has a high water absorbency. A further textile fabric can be arranged on the sponge body. The scourer preferably has a quadrilateral form and has two main surfaces. Then on a first main surface the fabric with the scouring agent composition is arranged. On the second main surface, lying opposite the first main surfaces, the further textile fabric is arranged. This fabric preferably also consists of a non-woven fabric with synthetic fibres, wherein the non-woven fabric is formed so that the further fabric has a high water absorbency. The second main surface serves then for the after-treatment of surfaces which have already been cleaned by the first main surface and for the absorption of liquids .
The further fabric can comprise microfibres. Microfibres have a fibre diameter which is smaller than 1 pm. The fabrics of microfibres coming into use have a high absorbency of liquids such as water and fats.
The scouring agent composition can comprise glass granules. Glass granules have a high degree of hardness and are particularly suitable for the cleaning of glass- or ceramic surfaces, such as for example glass ceramic hobs or panes of fireplace stoves.
The binder can be based on latex, phenolic resin and/or acrylate. A binder based on phenolic resin has a high degree of hardness, a high abrasion resistance. In another configuration, the binder can be based on acrylate. Binders based on acrylate have a comfortable grip. Binders based on latex have a high degree of elasticity. Mixtures of latex and phenolic resin binders have a high degree of flexural stiffness, through the phenolic resin, wherein the flexural stiffness is reduced by the latex portion to such an extent that the scourer can be readily wrung out. In a further configuration, the binder can consist of a mixture of acrylate and phenolic resin. The characteristics of both binder materials then influence the grip and the hardness of the material. Here, the binder can be formed on the fabric so that the fabric is substantially impermeable to water. Thereby, during cleaning, a film of cleaning fluid remains between the fabric with the scouring agent composition and the surface which is to be cleaned. Stains are dissolved in the cleaning fluid and there results a gentle and effective cleaning of the surface which is to be cleaned. The binder can also be formed so that the fabric is flexurally rigid. Thereby, a particularly good transfer of force results, and an improved cleaning effect with respect to firmly adherent stains. Further possible binders are melamine resin, nitrile rubber, polyurethane or compounds of all said binders.
The sponge body can have a quadrilateral form, wherein the edges have a curved contour. Thereby, locations which are difficult to reach can be cleaned effectively. A variety of different possibilities for gripping are produced.
The edges lying opposite one another can be formed congruently in relation to one another. The scourer is generally produced from a flat pre-product by stamping out. This shaping results in a loss-free and thereby favourably priced production of scourers with curved edge configuration.
The scourer can have a thickness of 2 to 5 cm. In particular with a thickness of the scourer of 4 cm, several possibilities for gripping and a good transfer of force are the result.
The scourer described above is suitable in particular to be used for cleaning glass and/or ceramic surfaces owing to its advantageous configuration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Some embodiments of the scourer according to the invention are explained in further detail below with the aid of the figures. These show, respectively diagrammatically:
Fig. 1 shows a scourer in perspective illustration;
Fig. 2 shows a scourer according to Fig. 1 in side view.
EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Figure 1 shows a scourer 1 in particular for cleaning glass and /or ceramic surfaces. The scourer 1 consists of a textile fabric 2, which forms a cleaning surface 6 with a relief pattern 7 formed by projecting nubs. The fabric 2 is arranged on a sponge body 8 and is connected thereto in a firmly bonded manner by an adhesive connection. In this embodiment, the sponge body 8 is formed from an open-cell polyurethane foam. The scourer 1 has a quadrilateral form and the edges 10, 11, 12, 13 of the scourer 1 have a curved contour, wherein the edges 10 and 11 and 12 and 13 lying opposite one another are formed respectively congruently in relation to one another. The scourer 1 has a thickness of 4 cm. On the side of the sponge body 8 lying opposite the cleaning surface 6 a further textile fabric 9 is arranged, which comprises microfibres with a fibre diameter of less than 1 pm. The further fabric 9 is likewise connected to the sponge body 8 in a firmly bonded manner by means of an adhesive connection.
Figure 2 shows the scourer 1 according to Figure 1 in a different view. The fabric 2 consists of a non-woven fabric, strengthened by water-jet, made of synthetic fibres with different surface weights between 50 and 200 g/m2- The fabric 2 is provided with a scouring agent composition 3, which in turn comprises a binder 4 and scouring particles 5. In this embodiment, the binder 4 consists of a composition of latex and phenolic resin. The scouring particles 5 consist of glass granules. The composition of the binder 4 is selected so that the fabric 2 is formed so as to be impermeable to water and resistant to bending and can be wrung out well. The characteristics of the binder 4 can arise through a downstream heat treatment. The overall thickness of the fabric 2 is between 0.9 and 2 mm.
For the production of the scourer 1, firstly a textile fabric 2, formed by a non-woven fabric, is produced from a fibrous material. The strengthening of the textile fabric 2 takes place by means of a water-jet strengthening. The shaping of the cleaning surface 6 takes place in the same process step. The relief pattern 7 with the nubs is likewise produced by the water-jet strengthening. The scouring agent composition 3 is produced by mixing the binder composition 4 with scouring particles 5 of glass granules. The scouring agent composition 3 is applied by spraying onto the cleaning surface 6. The fabric 2 can be heat-treated in an oven to harden the scouring agent composition 3. The fabric 2 is then glued on a flat preproduct, consisting of an open-cell polyurethane foam. In other embodiments, the sponge body 8 can also consist of viscose. A further fabric 9 is glued on the side which lies opposite. Then from the flat pre-product the scourer 1 is stamped out with the curved edges 10, 11, 12, 13.
