Definitions
- the invention relates to floor mops.
- washing brushes which comprise an absorbent strip mounted on a support carried at the end of a handle, a torsion head of this strip engaged with the middle region of this strip and rotatably mounted in a bearing arranged on the support, and at least two fasteners fixed respectively to the ends of the strip and movably mounted on the support between a washing position for which they are separated and for which the strip is deployed in a plane, and a wringing position for which they are close together and for which the strip is assembled in the vicinity of the rotary head, thus authorizing the twisting of this strip by rotation of this head in its bearing.
- a brush of this kind is described, for example, in the British patent GB-A? 211070.
- the band fasteners are carried at the end of arms pivotally mounted on the support, which results in relative fragility of the device.
- the present invention aims in particular to overcome this drawback, while allowing simple and economical construction.
- the fasteners of the strip are slidably mounted on the support respectively in two guides situated in a plane parallel to the plane of deployment of the strip.
- the washing brush shown in these drawings comprises an absorbent strip 10 mounted on a support 12 carried at the end of a handle 14, a torsion head 16 engaged with the central region 18 of this strip and rotatably mounted in a bearing 20 arranged on the support 12, and two fasteners 22 fixed respectively to the ends 24 of the strip and movably mounted on the support 12.
- the absorbent strip 10 consists of a sponge 26 wrapped in a tubular sheath 28 which is made of a mop and the ends 24 of which are folded back on themselves, then sewn together to respectively form two loops for receiving the fasteners 22.
- the head rotary 16 which is integral in rotation with the end 30 of the handle 14, comprises a disc 32 which is applied against the central region 18 of the strip 10 and to which this strip is fixed by means of a diametrical bar 34 which overlaps it .
- the support 12 comprises a U-shaped bracket 36, the two branches 38 of which carry two opposite wings 40 respectively, and the central portion 42 of which carries the bearing 20 of the rotary head 16, which head is thus located between the branches of the 'stirrup.
- the two wings 40 are formed by the two opposite regions of the same elongated plate 44 coming from molding, the central region of which has a wide opening 46 receiving the rotary head 16.
- the handle 14 is slidably mounted in a sleeve 48 which s extends from the central part 42 of the stirrup towards the outside of this stirrup and which at the same time forms part of the bearing 20 of the rotary head 16.
- the two fasteners 22 are slidably mounted on the support 12, respectively in two guides 50, between a washing position (fig. 1), for which they are separated and for which the strip 10 is deployed in a plane , and a wringing position (fig. 4), for which they are close together and for which the strip 10 is assembled in the vicinity of the rotary head 16, thus authorizing the twisting of this strip by rotation of this head in the bearing 20 .
- Each guide 50 is formed by a pair of rails 52 (FIGS. 2 and 5) situated in a plane parallel to the plane of deployment of the strip 10 and carried by the longitudinal edges of the plate 44, and each fastener 22 is formed by a rod which is threaded through one of the loops 24 and the ends 56 of which, in the form of rollers, are slidably mounted in the pair of rails 52.
- the invention provides the possibility of tilting the handle 14 relative to the deployment plane of the strip 10, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the plate 44 of the support 12 and therefore the wings 40 which form part of this plate are pivotally mounted on the legs 38 of the U-shaped stirrup around a pivot axis parallel to the plane of deployment of the strip and defined by two pivots 58 carried by the branches 38, and the disc 32 of the rotary head is carried by a shaft 60 which is connected to the end 30 of the handle 14 by means of a joint 62, the axis is also parallel to the band deployment plane and coincides with the axis of pivots 58 when the handle 14 is located in its washing position (fig. 1,2 and 5).
- This articulation 62 comprises a lug 63 carried by the end of the shaft 60 and fitted between two lugs 64 carried by the end 30 of the handle 14, as well as a pivot 66 transverse to these lugs and defining the axis of joint.
- the end 30 of the handle 14 is hollow and, in the internal cavity 68 thus formed, a U-shaped piece of elastic material is arranged, one branch 70 of which is immobilized in the cavity 68 by a hook 72 penetrating a hole 74, while the other branch 76, which is subjected to the action of a spring 77, carries a lateral locking lug 78 at the end.
- This lug 78 can occupy either a retracted position (fig. 1), for which it is retracted inside the end 30 of the handle, or an extended position (broken lines 78 ′ in fig.
- the cam 86 is formed by a localized projection from the edge of the tab 63 carried by the end of the shaft 60.
- the lug 78 is brought either to its withdrawal position (solid lines in FIG . 1) when the axis of the rotary head, defined by the shaft 60, is in the extension of the axis of the handle 14, that is to say in its extended position when the rotary head is in a pivoted position (FIG. 5) with respect to the handle 14, and that, as a result, its axis makes an angle with the axis of the handle 14.
- a tubular sleeve 88 engaged in the sleeve 48, carries on its outer wall a helical thread groove 90 whose length is limited by a stop 92 and which is screwed on a complementary thread rib 94 internal to the sleeve 48.
- the internal wall 96 of the sleeve 88 rotatably secures this sleeve and the handle 14 and at the same time constitutes a sliding and guiding surface for this handle, this wall 96 carrying for this purpose a stud 98 engaged in a longitudinal groove 100 formed in the lateral surface of the end 30 of the handle.
- a rotation of the handle 14 causes, by cooperation of the groove 100 with the stud 98, a corresponding rotation of the sleeve 88 on the thread rib 94.
- This rotation is limited by the meeting of the stop 92 of the groove 90 with the rib 94 of the sleeve when this rotation is carried out in the direction of unwinding of the strip (arrow H), that is to say in the direction of screwing of the sleeve 88 in the sleeve 48.
- the longitudinal groove 100 has two axially spaced rectilinear parts 102 and 104, which extend respectively according to two generators angularly offset by about 45 °, and which are connected together by a helical median part with an elongated pitch 106.
- the lowest straight part 102 causes, when the handle 14 is in its high wringing position (FIGS. 3 and 4), the rotation of the sleeve 88 as well during torsion (FIG. 4) as during of the tape.
- this lower part 102 is such that, during the unwinding of the strip, the limitation of the reverse rotation occurs for the angular position of the head 16 illustrated at 34 'in FIG. 11.
- the stud 98 of the sleeve 88 cooperating with the groove 100 as far as the upper part 104 thereof, will force the handle 14 to correct its position (arrow K) by an angle equal to the angular offset of 45 ° between the parts 102 and 104 of this groove, so that this handle finally reaches an angular position corresponding exactly to the starting position of the rotary head 16 (bar 34 in solid lines in fig. 11).
- the brush being considered at the outset in the position of FIGS. 1 and 2, the user first inclines the handle 14 to bring it to the pivoted position illustrated in FIG. 5. During this movement, the cam 86 releases the finger 82 and the lug 78 is brought to its extended position 78 '.
- the user After a first passage of the broom on the floor to be washed, the user returns the handle 14 to its upright position of FIG. 1, which causes, by the action of the cam 86 on the finger 82, the retraction of the lug 78. From this moment, the user can pull the handle up (arrow F) to bring it into its spin position (fig. 3). He can then plunge the broom. in a bucket of water (shown diagrammatically in S), then exert on the handle 14 vertical sliding movements back and forth (arrows F ') to ensure, by a series of contractions and expansions of the band 10 in the internal space in the stirrup 36, a good rinsing of this strip.
- the user can, by rotation of the handle 14 (arrow G), ensure a twist of the strip 10 suitable for good spin.
- the fasteners 22 come closer (fig. 4), while the bush 88, driven in rotation by the action of the lower part 102 of the groove 100 on the stud 98, is extracted from the sleeve 48 by unscrewing effect of the thread groove 90 on the thread rib 94.
- the user turns the handle 14 in the opposite direction (arrow H): the sleeve 88 is screwed into the sleeve 48 until the stop 92 of the groove 90 comes to meet the rib 94.
- the rotary head 16 then stops in the position marked at 34 'in FIG. 11; the strip 10 is completely unwound, the handle 14 still being in its high wringing position.
