Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scheuerschwamm, bestehend aus einem Griffteil aus weichem Schaumstoff und einem Scheuerteil aus gegebenenfalls Schleifmittel enthaltendem grobem Vliesstoff, der mit einem Reinigungsmittel, insbesondere Seife, versehen ist.The invention relates to a scouring pad consisting of a grip part made of soft foam and a scouring part made of coarse nonwoven material which may contain abrasives and which is provided with a cleaning agent, in particular soap.

Scheuerschwämme dieser Art sind bekannt. Sie bestehen aus einem Scheuerteil aus gegebenenfalls Schleifmittel enthaltendem grobem Vliesstoff aus synthetischen Fasern und einer Schwammschicht aus Polyurethanschaum, Viskose oder schwammähnlichem Vliesstoff. Insbesondere Scheuerschwämme aus Polyurethan und Viskose sind beliebt und werden hauptsächlich als Topfreiniger oder Badputzer benutzt.Scouring pads of this type are known. They consist of a scouring part made of coarse nonwoven fabric made of synthetic fibers, which may contain abrasives, and a sponge layer made of polyurethane foam, viscose or sponge-like nonwoven fabric. Scouring pads made of polyurethane and viscose are particularly popular and are mainly used as pot cleaners or bathroom cleaners.

Das Schwammteil und das Scheuerteil werden üblicherweise durch Verkleben der fertig vorgebildeten Schichten hergestellt. Es sind auch flammkaschierte Verbundkörper gebräuchlich. Bei der Flammkaschierung wird meist das aus Polyurethan bestehende Schaumteil bahn'enförmig über offene Gasflammen geführt, wobei die Oberfläche anschmilzt und klebrig wird. Auf die klebrig gewordene Oberfläche wird dann die gegebenenfalls schleifstoffhaltige Vliesstoffbahn aufgelegt und durch Anpressen und Abkühlung mit dem Schwammteil verbunden; Anschließend wird das platten- oder bahnförmige Laminat zu den gewünschten Formaten zugeschnitten.The sponge part and the scouring part are usually produced by gluing the pre-formed layers. Flame-laminated composites are also common. In flame lamination, the foam part made of polyurethane is usually passed in a web shape over open gas flames, the surface melting and becoming sticky. The nonwoven web, which may or may not contain abrasive material, is then placed on the surface which has become tacky, and is connected to the sponge part by pressing and cooling; Then the plate or sheet-shaped laminate is cut to the desired formats.

Die Vliesstoffschicht enthält üblicherweise Schleifmittel und dient als Scheuermedium zum Reinigen von Töpfen, Pfannen und anderem Geschirr. Zum Reinigen von Badewannen und sanitären Einrichtungen dienen ähnliche Scheuerschwämme, deren Scheuerkraft jedoch im allgemeinen niedriger ist. Zum Reinigen von teflonisierten oder anderen empfindlichen Oberflächen gibt es auch Scheuerschwämme ohne zusätzliches Schleifmittel.The nonwoven layer usually contains abrasives and serves as a scouring medium for cleaning pots, pans and other dishes. Similar scouring pads are used to clean bathtubs and sanitary facilities, but their scrubbing power is generally lower. For cleaning teflonized or other sensitive surfaces, there are also scouring pads without additional abrasives.

Das Griffteil der Scheuerschwämme dient zum Nachwischen und Aufsaugen, im wesentlichen aber auch als Griff für das an ihm befestigte Scheuervlies.The handle of the scouring pads serves for wiping and vacuuming, but essentially also as a handle for the scouring fleece attached to it.

Scheuerschwämme lösen die in Pfannen, Töpfen usw. festsitzenden Verkrustungen aufgrund der rauhen Oberfläche des Scheuervliesstoffes, unterstützt von den im Scheuervlies enthaltenden Schleifkörnern auf rein mechanische Weise. Bei festsitzenden Verschmutzungen ist es notwendig, zusätzlich chemische Reinigungsmittel anzuwenden, um den Ablösevorgang zu erleichtern und beispielsweise Fette und Öle, die sich auf dem Geschirr befinden, zu emulgieren. Neben dem Scheuerschwamm und Waschwasser müssen somit zusätzlich flüssige Reinigungsmittel auf das zu reinigende Gut oder auf den Scheuerschwamm aufgetragen werden, so daß der Verwender neben dem Scheuerschwamm immer noch ein zusätzliches Reinigungsmittel benötigt.Scouring sponges loosen the incrustations stuck in pans, pots etc. due to the rough surface of the scouring nonwoven, supported by the abrasive grains contained in the scouring fleece in a purely mechanical way. In the case of stubborn soiling, it is necessary to use additional chemical cleaning agents to facilitate the detachment process and, for example, to emulsify fats and oils that are on the dishes. In addition to the scouring pad and washing water, liquid cleaning agents must therefore also be applied to the items to be cleaned or to the scouring pad, so that the user still requires an additional cleaning agent in addition to the scouring pad.

Es sind auch schon Scheuerschwämme bekanntgeworden, die im Scheuerteil und/oder im Griffteil Seife enthalten. Bei Zutritt von Wasser wird eine Teilmenge der Seife gelöst, die dann unter Schaumentwicklung die Reinigungswirkung des Scheuervliesstoffes unterstützt und verstärkt. Es wird jedoch als sehr nachteilig empfunden, daß bei derartigen "verseiften" Scheuerschwämmen die durch Wasser und Seife gebildete Seifenlösung auch in die Poren des Griffteils aus Schaumkunststoff eindringt und dort an falscher Stelle zu einer besonders intensiven Schaumbildung führt. Der Schwammteil wird ja meist nur als Handgriff benutzt und die Anwesenheit von schaumiger, meist auch schmieriger Seife ist an dieser Stelle unangenehm und nutzlos.Scouring sponges have also become known which contain soap in the scouring part and / or in the handle part. When water enters, a portion of the soap is dissolved, which then supports and reinforces the cleaning effect of the scouring nonwoven fabric while foaming. However, it is felt to be very disadvantageous that, with such "saponified" scouring pads, the soap solution formed by water and soap also penetrates into the pores of the foam plastic handle part and there leads to particularly intensive foam formation in the wrong place. The sponge part is mostly only used as a handle and the presence of foamy, mostly greasy soap is unpleasant and useless at this point.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen "verseiften" Scheuerschwamm zu entwickeln, der sich sauber Handhaben läßt, indem das Griffteil bei Wassereinwirkung seifenschaumfrei bleibt.The invention is based on the object of developing a "saponified" scouring pad which can be handled cleanly by the grip part remaining free of soap foam when exposed to water.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch den in den Ansprüchen beschriebenen Scheuerschwamm.The object is achieved by the scouring pad described in the claims.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung wird die Grenzfläche zwischen Seife und Schwamm weitgehend oder sogar vollständig abgedichtet, nicht aber die Grenzfläche zwischen Seife und Scheuervliesstoff. Bevorzugt wird eine Kunststoff-Folie, die entsprechend der eingelegten Seife, Reinigungspaste oder dgl. zugeschnitten ist und diese gegenüber dem Griffteil abdichtet. Zweckmäßig ist aber auch ein entsprechend zugeschnittener Kunststoffbehälter, der ebenfalls die Aufgabe hat, das Griffteil seifenfrei zu halten. In vielen Fällen genügt bereits ein wasserdichter Anstrich des Hohlraumes zwischen Griffteil und Scheuerteil. Der wasserdichte Anstrich ist auf Kunstharzbasis aufgebaut. In jedem Falle wird die Grenzfläche so abgedichtet, daß die Schaumbildung nur an der gewünschten Stelle, nämlich in der Scheuerschicht aus Vliesstoff, entsteht.The embodiment according to the invention largely or even completely seals the interface between soap and sponge, but not the interface between soap and scouring nonwoven. A plastic film is preferred which is cut according to the inserted soap, cleaning paste or the like and which seals this against the handle part. However, a suitably tailored plastic container is also useful, which also has the task of keeping the handle part free of soap. In many cases, a waterproof coating of the cavity between the handle part and the scouring part is sufficient. The waterproof coating is based on synthetic resin. In any case, the interface is sealed in such a way that foam formation only occurs at the desired location, namely in the abrasive layer made of nonwoven.

Es ist sehr vorteilhaft, daß nach dem Ende der Reinigungsarbeit, wenn der noch nasse Scheuerschwamm beiseite gelegt wird, kein Wasser aus dem Schwammteil in die Seife vordringen kann, so daß ein weiteres Auflösen der Seife unterbunden wird. Der Seifenverbrauch wird also auf die Zeit der Reinigungsarbeit beschränkt und die Lebensdauer der Seifenmasse wesentlich verlängert.It is very advantageous that after the cleaning work, when the still wet scouring pad is set aside, no water can penetrate from the sponge part into the soap, so that further dissolution of the soap is prevented. Soap consumption is limited to the time of cleaning and the life of the soap mass is significantly extended.

Scheuerteil und Griffteil sind durch Flammkaschieren oder Verkleben miteinander verbunden. Die Dichtungsfolie kann besonders einfach dadurch angebracht werden, daß ein oder mehrere Folienbänder, deren Breite schmäler ist als die der fertigen Scheuerschwämme, während des Verklebungsprozesses zwischen die Schwammbahn und die Scheuervliesstoffbahn eingelegt wird, so daß eine Verklebung - sei es durch Klebstoff oder durch Flammkaschierung - im.Bereich der Folie zwischen Vliesstoff und Schwamm nicht zustande kommt. Figur l zeigt einen derartigen Formkörper. Figur 2 zeigt den gleichen Formkörper mit eingeschobener Seife. Das Scheuerteil 1 ist mit dem Schwammteil 2 verklebt. Die Seife 4 ist durch die Folie 3 von dem Schwammteil getrennt.Scouring part and grip part are connected to each other by flame lamination or gluing. The sealing film can be attached in a particularly simple manner by inserting one or more film strips, the width of which is narrower than that of the finished scouring pads, between the sponge sheet and the scouring non-woven fabric sheet during the bonding process, so that bonding - be it through Adhesive or flame lamination - does not occur in the area of the film between the nonwoven and the sponge. Figure 1 shows such a shaped body. Figure 2 shows the same molded article with the soap inserted. The scouring part 1 is glued to the sponge part 2. The soap 4 is separated from the sponge part by the film 3.

In manchen Fällen ist es erwünscht, daß für die Seife ein größeres Hohlvolumen vorgesehen ist. Der Hohlraum kann lokal oder als durchlaufende Rinne in den Schwammteil eingefräst, eingeschmolzen oder eingebrannt sein. Beim Einschmelzen oder Einbrennen ergibt sich eine gewisse Verdichtung der Hohlraumwandung, die dann zusätzlich mit Folie oder einem wasserdichten Kunststoffanstrich überzogen wird. Figur 3 zeigt ein Schwammteil mit einer Rinne, die durch die Folie 3 abgedichtet ist. Einen vergleichbaren Scheuerschwamm zeigt Figur 4. In dem Schaumteil 2 ist eine Rinne eingearbeitet, die durch.die Folie 3 gegenüber dem Scheuerteil 1 abgedichtet ist. In dem Hohlraum ist die Seife 4 eingebettet.In some cases, it is desirable that a larger void volume be provided for the soap. The cavity can be milled, melted or burned into the sponge part locally or as a continuous channel. When melting or baking, there is a certain compression of the cavity wall, which is then additionally covered with film or a waterproof plastic coating. Figure 3 shows a sponge part with a groove which is sealed by the film 3. A comparable scouring pad is shown in FIG. 4. A groove is incorporated in the foam part 2, which is sealed off from the scouring part 1 by the film 3. The soap 4 is embedded in the cavity.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Scheuerschwammes besteht darin, daß der gegebenenfalls Schleifmittel enthaltende grobe Scheuervliesstoff durch ganzflächiges Einschäumen in das Griffteil integriert ist. Wenigstens an der Auflageseite sind die Poren des Scheuervliesstoffes mit Schaum durchdrungen, wodurch sich eine Abdichtung ergibt. Auch hier ist es möglich, die zur Abdichtung der Seife vorgesehene Folie einzufügen.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the scouring sponge according to the invention consists in that the coarse scouring nonwoven fabric, which may contain abrasives, is integrated into the handle part by foaming in all over. At least on the support side, the pores of the scouring nonwoven are penetrated with foam, which results in a seal. It is also possible to insert the film provided to seal the soap.

Nach einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung des Scheuerschwammes ist wenigstens ein rinnenförmiger Hohlraum zur Aufnahme der Seife, Reinigungspaste oder dgl. vorgesehen. Die Rinne ist wenigstens einseitig von außen zugänglich, so daß Seife nachgefüllt werden kann, wenn die Erstfüllung verbraucht ist. Es können auch verschiedene Seifenarten eingefüllt werden oder auch ohne Seife gearbeitet werden.According to an expedient embodiment of the scouring pad, at least one channel-shaped cavity is provided for receiving the soap, cleaning paste or the like. The gutter is accessible from the outside at least on one side, so that soap can be refilled when the first filling is used up. Different types of soap can also be poured in or worked without soap.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Scheuerschwammes ist in dem Griffteil ein Hohlraum oder eine Rinne eingefräst, eingeschmolzen oder eingebrannt, die zur Aufnahme eines zusätzlichen Dichtungselementes, z.B. eines Kunststoffbehälters, geeignet ist. Eine derartige Ausführung ist in Figur 5 wiedergegeben. Der Behälter muß so beschaffen sein, daß er zur Vliesstoffseite hin offen ist, so daß dort Wasser eintreten und die Seife allmählich auflösen kann.According to a further embodiment of the scouring pad according to the invention, a cavity or a groove is milled, melted or burned into the handle part, which is used to hold an additional sealing element, e.g. a plastic container is suitable. Such an embodiment is shown in Figure 5. The container must be designed so that it is open to the nonwoven side, so that water can enter and the soap can gradually dissolve.

Es ist wesentlich, daß der zur Aufnahme der Seife vorgesehene Hohlraum stets zur Scheuervliesseite offen ist. Er kann im übrigen beliebig gestaltet sein und dem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck angepaßt dimensioniert sein.It is essential that the cavity provided for receiving the soap is always open on the scrubbing fleece side. It can be designed in any other way and be dimensioned to suit the respective intended use.

Es ist weiterhin wesentlich, daß das Griffteil vollständig bzw. weitgehend gegenüber der Seifenlösung abgedichtet ist, wobei es in der Regel ausreicht, wenn nur der im Bereich der Seife liegende Teil der Grenzfläche Vliesstoff/Schwamm abgedichtet ist.It is also essential that the handle part is completely or largely sealed off from the soap solution, it generally being sufficient if only the part of the nonwoven / sponge interface located in the area of the soap is sealed off.
