Description

Zum Reinigen von Teppichböden werden neuerdings pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel, die auch als Trockenschaum bezeichnet werden, verwendet. Diese Reinigungsmittel werden von Hand auf den Teppich ausgestreut und anschließend mittels rotierender oder schwingender Bürsten in den Teppichflor eingearbeitet. Dabei wird der Schmutz von den Teppichfasern gelöst und an das Reinigungsmittel gebunden. Anschließend wird der Teppich abgesaugt und somit das mit dem Schmutz behaftete Reinigungsmittel wieder von dem Teppich entfernt.Powdery cleaning agents, also known as dry foam, have recently been used to clean carpets. These cleaning agents are sprinkled on the carpet by hand and then worked into the carpet pile using rotating or swinging brushes. The dirt is loosened from the carpet fibers and bound to the cleaning agent. The carpet is then vacuumed off and the detergent with the dirt is removed from the carpet again.

Das Aufbringen des Reinigungsmittels von Hand ist recht mühsam und führt vor allem zu einer relativ ungleichmäßigen Verteilung des Reinigungsmittels auf dem Teppich. Diese ungleichmäßige Verteilung kann auch bei dem Einarbeiten des Reinigungsmittels mit Hilfe der rotierenden oder schwingenden Bürsten nicht mehr ausgeglichen werden.Applying the cleaning agent by hand is very tedious and, above all, leads to a relatively uneven distribution of the cleaning agent on the carpet. This uneven distribution can no longer be compensated for when the cleaning agent is incorporated using the rotating or oscillating brushes.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gerät zu schaffen, mit dem ein Reinigungspulver möglichst gleichmäßig auf der Teppichoberfläche verteilt werden kann, wobei der Tatsache, daß die entsprechenden Reinigungspulver eine gewisse Feuchtigkeit enthalten und daher die einzelnen Pulverteilchen leicht miteinander verkleben, Rechnung getragen werden muß.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device with which a cleaning powder can be distributed as evenly as possible on the carpet surface, taking into account the fact that the corresponding cleaning powders contain a certain amount of moisture and therefore easily stick the individual powder particles together got to.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß das Gerät kastenförmig ausgebildet und mit einem schräg nach unten verlaufenden, beim Aufbringen des Reinigungspulvers in Rüttelbewegungen versetzbaren Rüttelboden versehen ist, der im Bereich seines gegenüber der vorderen Begrenzungswand des Gerätekastens freien Endes über die ganze Breite Streuöffnungen aufweist, die von einer in senkrechtem Abstand zum Rüttelboden auf der Innenseite der vorderen Begrenzungswand angeordneten Deckleiste überdeckt sind, zwischen deren freiem Ende und dem Rüttelboden ein Durchtrittsschlitz für das Reinigungspulver besteht.The achievement of the object is achieved according to the invention in that the device is box-shaped and is provided with an obliquely downward, with the cleaning powder displaceable in vibrating vibrating bottom, which is in the area of his compared to the front boundary wall of the equipment box has a free end over the entire width of the scattering openings, which are covered by a cover strip arranged at a vertical distance from the vibrating floor on the inside of the front boundary wall, between the free end and the vibrating floor of which there is a passage slot for the cleaning powder.

Infolge der Rüttelbewegungen des schräg angeordneten Rüttelbodens rutscht das Reinigungspulver zu den an der tiefsten Stelle des Rüttelbodens angeordneten Streuöffnungen und fällt durch diese auf den Teppich. Durch den von der über den Streuöffnungen vorgesehenen Deckleiste zum Rüttelboden gebildeten Durchtrittsschlitz wird das Reinigungspulver den Streuöffnungen nur in einer der Schlitzhöhe entsprechenden dünnen Schicht zugeführt und somit ein Verstopfen der Streuöffnungen durch das leicht klumpende Reinigungspulver vermieden.As a result of the shaking movements of the obliquely arranged vibrating floor, the cleaning powder slides to the scattering openings located at the lowest point of the vibrating floor and falls through them onto the carpet. Due to the passage slot formed from the cover strip to the vibrating bottom provided over the scattering openings, the cleaning powder is supplied to the scattering openings only in a thin layer corresponding to the slot height, and thus clogging of the scattering openings by the slightly clumping cleaning powder is avoided.

Dadurch, daß die Deckleiste auf den Rüttelboden zu geneigt angeordnet ist, bleiben keine Reste des Reinigungspulvers auf der Deckleiste liegen. Für die gleichmäßige Verteilung des Reinigungspulvers ist es außerdem förderlich, daß als Streuöffnungen eine Vielzahl von in Reihe angeordneten Löchern vorgesehen ist.Because the cover strip is arranged too inclined to the vibrating base, no residues of the cleaning powder remain on the cover strip. For the uniform distribution of the cleaning powder, it is also beneficial that a plurality of holes arranged in series is provided as the scattering openings.

Die Rüttelbewegungen des Rüttelbodens lassen sich auf einfache Weise dadurch erzeugen, daß im Bereich des vorderen Endes an dem Gerätekasten ein durch eine Achse verbundenes Räderpaar angeordnet und auf der sich mit den Rädern drehenden Achse ein Zahnrad angebracht ist, das mit einer am Rüttelboden vorgesehenen Nocke kämmt. Die für die Rüttelbewegungen notwendige bewegliche Verbindung des Rüttelbodens mit dem Gerätekasten wird ohne zusätzliche Montageteile und -arbeiten dadurch erreicht, daß der Rüttelboden an seiner dem freien Ende gegenüberliegenden Seite über ein Filmscharnier mit einem festen Bodenteil oder der Rückwand des Gerätekastens verbunden ist.The vibrating movements of the vibrating base can be generated in a simple manner by arranging a pair of wheels connected by an axle in the area of the front end of the equipment box and by installing a gear on the axle rotating with the wheels, which meshes with a cam provided on the vibrating floor . The movable connection of the vibrating base with the equipment box necessary for the vibrating movements is achieved without additional assembly parts and work in that the vibrating base on its side opposite the free end is covered by a film hinge is connected to a fixed base part or the rear wall of the device box.

Das Aufbringen und Einarbeiten des Reinigungspulvers wird dadurch in einem Arbeitsgang ermöglicht, daß der Gerätekasten den Abmessungen eines eine rotierend oder schwingend angetriebene Bürste enthaltenden Gehäuses eines Einarbeitungsgerätes angepaßt und derart auf dieses aufsteckbar ist, daß das Räderpaar des Gerätes weiterhin auf dem Teppich abrollt.The application and incorporation of the cleaning powder is made possible in one operation in that the device box is adapted to the dimensions of a housing of a familiarization device containing a rotating or oscillating brush and can be plugged onto the device in such a way that the pair of wheels of the device continues to roll on the carpet.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels wird der Anmeldungsgegenstand nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigt

  • Fig. 1 ein Gerät in Draufsicht,
  • Fig. 2 ein Gerät im Schnitt entlang der Linie II-II in Fig. 1 und
  • Fig. 3 ein Gerät im Schnitt entlang der Linie III-III in Fig. 1.
The subject of the application is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows
  • 1 is a device in plan view,
  • Fig. 2 shows a device in section along the line II-II in Fig. 1 and
  • 3 shows a device in section along the line III-III in FIG. 1st

Mit 1 ist ein Gerätekasten bezeichnet, bei dem an der Innenseite seiner vorderen Begrenzungswand eine Deckleiste 3 angeordnet ist. Der Gerätekasten 1 weist einen Rüttelboden 4 auf, der zur vorderen Begrenzungswand 2 schräg nach unten verläuft. Ober ein Filmscharnier 5 ist der Rüttelboden 4 mit einem im hinteren Abschnitt des Gerätekastens 1 fest angeordneten Bodenteil 6 verbunden. An den beiden Seiten und an seinem vorderen Ende ist der Rüttelboden 4 durch einen Schlitz 7 von den Seitenwänden 8 und 9 und der vorderen Begrenzungswand 2 getrennt, so daß der Rüttelboden auf- und abbewegt werden kann.1 with a device box is designated, in which a cover strip 3 is arranged on the inside of its front boundary wall. The equipment box 1 has a vibrating base 4, which runs obliquely downwards to the front boundary wall 2. The vibrating base 4 is connected to a base part 6 fixedly arranged in the rear section of the device box 1 via a film hinge 5. On both sides and at its front end, the vibrating base 4 is separated by a slot 7 from the side walls 8 and 9 and the front boundary wall 2, so that the vibrating base can be moved up and down.

Die Auf- und Abbewegungen (Rüttelbewegungen) werden durch ein Zahnrad 10, welches auf einer von einem Räderpaar 11 angetriebenen Achse 12 angeordnet ist und mit einem am Rüttelboden 4 angeformten Nocken 13 kämmt, bewirkt. Die Achse 12 ist in seitlich am Gerätekasten nach unten gezogenen Wangen 14 gelagert. Durch die Rüttelbewegungen des Rüttelbodens 4 wird das in dem Gerätekasten 1 eingefüllte Reinigungspulver 15 durch einen zwischen dem Rüttelboden und der Deckleiste 3 gebildeten Schlitz 16 zu den an dem freien Ende des Rüttelbodens vorgesehenen Streuöffnungen 17 gefördert. Durch diese Streuöffnungen 17 fällt das Reinigungspulver auf den zu reinigenden Teppich 18.The up and down movements (shaking movements) are effected by a gear wheel 10, which is arranged on an axle 12 driven by a pair of wheels 11 and meshes with a cam 13 formed on the shaking plate 4. The Axis 12 is supported in cheeks 14 which are pulled down on the side of the equipment box. Due to the shaking movements of the shaking base 4, the cleaning powder 15 filled in the equipment box 1 is conveyed through a slot 16 formed between the shaking base and the cover strip 3 to the scattering openings 17 provided at the free end of the shaking base. The cleaning powder falls onto the carpet 18 to be cleaned through these scattering openings 17.

Die Deckleiste 3 ist mit einer auf den Rüttelboden 4 gerichteten Neigung an der vorderen Begrenzungswand 2 angeordnet. Infolge dieser Neigung bleiben keine Reste des Reinigungspulvers auf der Deckleiste 3 liegen. Durch den Durchtrittsschlitz 16 gelangt das Reinigungspulver nur in einer der Höhe des Durchtrittsschlitzes 16 entsprechenden dünnen Schicht zu den Streuöffnungen 17. In dieser dünnen Schicht besteht nicht die Gefahr des Verklumpens. Wie aus der Draufsicht in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, sind als Streuöffnungen 17 eine Vielzahl von in einer Reihe angeordneten Löchern vorgesehen. Durch diese Löcher entsteht ein Siebeffekt, durch den eine Zerkleinerung von eventuell noch vorhandenen Pulverklumpen bewirkt wird.The cover strip 3 is arranged with an inclination on the vibrating base 4 on the front boundary wall 2. As a result of this tendency, no residues of the cleaning powder remain on the cover strip 3. Through the passage slot 16, the cleaning powder only reaches the scattering openings 17 in a thin layer corresponding to the height of the passage slot 16. There is no risk of clumping in this thin layer. As can be seen from the top view in FIG. 1, a plurality of holes arranged in a row are provided as scatter openings 17. Through these holes, a sieve effect is created, through which any powder lumps that may still be present are comminuted.

An dem Gerätekasten 1 kann eine Führungsstange 19 fest angebracht oder ansteckbar sein. Damit kann das Gerät über den Teppich geschoben werden. Ober das Räderpaar 11 wird dabei das Zahnrad 10 angetrieben und dadurch, wie bereits beschrieben, der Rüttelboden 4 in Rüttelbewegungen versetzt. Der Gerätekasten 1 kann in seinen Abmessungen jedoch auch dem Gehäuse eines mit einer rotierenden oder schwingenden Bürste ausgerüsteten Einarbeitungsgerätes angepaßt werden, so daß der Gerätekasten auf dieses Gehäuse aufsteckbar ist. Die Anordnung des Räderpaares 11 ist dabei so getroffen, daß die Räder in aufgesteckten Zustand des Gerätekastens 1 auf dem Teppich aufliegen und beim Hin- und Herbewegen des Einarbeitungsgerätes auf dem Teppich abrollen. Dadurch wird wiederum der Rüttelboden 4 in Rüttelbewegung versetzt und das Reinigungspulver über die vor dem Gehäuse des Einarbeitungsgerätes liegenden Streuöffnungen 17 auf den Teppich aufgebracht. Durch die Bürste des Einarbeitungsgerätes wird dann das Reinigungspulver sofort in den Teppichflor eingearbeitet. Durch diese Ausgestaltung des Gerätekastens 1 kann das Aufbringen und Einarbeiten des Reinigungspulvers in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang erfolgen.On the equipment box 1, a guide rod 19 can be fixed or plugged. This allows the device to be pushed over the carpet. The gear 10 is driven via the pair of wheels 11 and, as already described, the vibrating base 4 is set in vibrating movements. The dimensions of the device box 1 can, however, also be adapted to the housing of a training device equipped with a rotating or oscillating brush, so that the device box can be plugged onto this housing. The arrangement of the pair of wheels 11 is such that the wheels rest on the carpet in the plugged-in state of the device box 1 and roll on the carpet when the training device is moved back and forth. This will again the vibrating base 4 is set in a vibrating motion and the cleaning powder is applied to the carpet via the scattering openings 17 located in front of the housing of the incorporation device. The cleaning powder is then immediately incorporated into the carpet pile by the brush of the incorporation device. This configuration of the device box 1 means that the cleaning powder can be applied and incorporated in a single operation.
