Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wiping device for hand cleaning with two, preferably symmetrically opposite and preferably in the wiping position about in one plane on the holding web mounts with a preferably removable mop cover mounted on the edge of a middle holding web pivotably for cleaning purposes.
  • Mopping devices on which different cleaning covers can be attached on the bottom are known.
  • the cover is removed from its position fixed on the base plate in order to be able to be cleaned. Pressing out during the cleaning process is usually carried out in a cleaning flat press.
  • Wiping devices are also already known in which the plate is designed in two parts and can be pivoted.
  • the cover which is generally fastened to the plate edges, is released, as in the known one-piece designs, for cleaning except for its fastenings on the outer plate edges, so that it is pressed down from the swiveled-off plates hangs. In this way, it can be swiveled in water or in an appropriate cleaning solution, or it can also be inserted into a cleaning press.
  • a disadvantage of these known wiping devices is that the cover has to be loosened or touched from the underside of the plate with the hands, the hands often coming into contact with chemicals that are harmful to the skin and health, or the skin is at least heavily stressed.
  • Even the cheapest possible insertion into a flat cleaning press often requires manual guidance, usually again in a bent position.
  • the object is achieved in particular in that a movement is provided in the connection area of the plates with the retaining web in the pivoted device cleaning position approximately perpendicular to the respective plate plane.
  • the plates lying approximately parallel to one another in a cleaning press can carry out a movement with their flat sides towards one another.
  • the covering can be pressed out without being removed from the underside of the plate.
  • the plates, which are swiveled in the cleaning position and lie approximately parallel to one another can be inserted directly into a cleaning press or previously immersed and swiveled, for example, in a water container. Periodic immersion of the swiveled plates greatly improves the cleaning effect due to the vibrating plate guide. You no longer need to bend down to insert the two adjacent plates into a cleaning flat press, for example to insert the cover cleanly, since the plates ensure sufficient guidance stability. It is also not necessary to re-attach the cover to the underside of the plate after the cleaning process.
  • the plates can be fixed in the wiping position on the retaining web by means of a latching device.
  • the cleaned and squeezed out device can be brought back into the wiping position in a very simple manner by practically only pressing it flat onto the floor.
  • the latching device then automatically ensures that the wiping plates are fixed on the retaining web. Accordingly, you need e.g. at the beginning of the cleaning process Hold down a plate part with only one foot to release the corresponding locking.
  • the storage of the plates has bearing bushes running axially along the edge for receiving bearing pins connected to the holding web, the bearing bushes being perpendicular to the plate plane
  • Bearing axis have approximately the diameter of the holding web and perpendicularly so Probably at the plate level we are provided with a guide diameter that is larger than the diameter of the retaining pin.
  • the bearing pin is thus practically stored in an elongated hole oriented perpendicular to the plate plane. Accordingly, in the pivoted-down state, the plates can be moved practically perpendicular to their plate levels, that is to say perpendicular to their wiping surface coverings, also in the area of their storage.
  • the wiping cover is connected in one piece, preferably detachably, with the entire plate surface facing away from the retaining web.
  • the removable, fixed connection of the mop cover e.g. with a Velcro fastener, ensures easy interchangeability in the event of wear or if a different reference structure is required, e.g. for rubbing in solvents.
  • the retaining web in the plate wiping position on the wiping surfaces facing away from the plate surfaces is mounted to prevent movement play at least at three points. It proves to be expedient if the web ends of the holding web are designed as web plates, on which the plate surfaces are counter-positioned in the wiping position, the web plates being countersunk flush, preferably 1-5 mm, into the plate surfaces.
  • the counter bearing of the wiper plates on the multi-wall plates largely prevents the plates from bending around their bearing axes.
  • the wiping plates are pressed onto the stable multi-wall plates practically without play during wiping - secured by the latching device, so that a largely stable wiping surface is achieved in spite of the oblong hole mounting of the swivel axes oriented perpendicular to the wiping plane.
  • the countersinking of the retaining web plates in the wiper plate surfaces ensures that the plates can practically not twist about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the plate or become unstable about such an axis.
  • the holding pins of the holding web which are mounted in the bearing bushes, are relieved in particular in an advantageous manner and mutual sliding of the holding wall plates and wiping plates is practically impossible.
  • Figure 1 shows a generally designated 1 wiper for hand cleaning with two wiping plates 2 symmetrically opposite one another in the device wiping position on the narrow side, which are connected to one another via a central retaining web 3 and lie approximately in the plane with their flat sides.
  • the plates 2 have at their opposite edges on the edge axially extending bearing bushes 4, which serve to receive bearing pins 5 connected to the retaining web 3.
  • These bearing bushes 4 are located with their associated bearing pins 5 at the two ends of the pivot axis 6 on the wiper plates 2.
  • the retaining web 3 is between the end faces 7 of the bearing bushes lying in the axial direction opposed.
  • a play of movement 10 is provided in the connection area 8 of the wiper plates 2 with the holding web 3 in the pivoted device cleaning position (cf. e.g. FIG. 2) approximately perpendicular to the respective plate plane 9.
  • this play of movement is realized in that the bearing bushes in the plate plane 9 perpendicular to the pivot bearing axis 6 have approximately the diameter d of the holding web 3 and perpendicular to both the plate plane 9 and the pivot bearing axis 6 with an enlarged guide diameter D compared to the diameter d of the bearing pin 5 are.
  • This is an elongated hole mounting of the plates 2, the elongated hole 11 being oriented perpendicular to the plate plane 9.
  • This construction allows the mop plates 2 provided with a mop cover 12 on their underside 13 to be pressed together with their mop covers 12 in such a way that liquids absorbed by the mop covers 12 are pressed out.
  • the wiping device 1 in the position shown in FIG.
  • the swiveled-off wiper plates 2 can be easily inserted with the plates 2 into a cleaning press without the wiping cover 12 having to be removed. It is also possible to swivel the swiveled-off wiper plates 2, for example in a bucket with water or cleaning liquid, in order to wash out the dirt particles. Buckets can also be used for this purpose, the inner diameter of which is considerably smaller than the length of the clamped plates 2 of the wiping device 1.
  • the wiper cover 12 is made in one piece and attached to the underside 13 of the wiper plate by means of a Velcro fastener 14.
  • the Mop cover 12 can thus be replaced in a simple manner if necessary, for example when worn.
  • the retaining web 3 has a recess 16 in the area between its pivot bearing axes 6 located on the two wiper plates 2 on the wiper reference side.
  • the size of this recess 16 corresponds approximately to the dimensions of the mop cover bending bead 15, so that it is not clamped by the retaining web 3 when the plate 2 is pivoted away.
  • a locking recess 17 is provided on the wiper plates 2 and a locking button 19 is provided on the opposite surface 18 of the holding web 3.
  • this latching button engages under the two elastic latching webs 20 of the latching insert 21 which are arranged parallel to one another.
  • the latching insert 21 is removably fastened to the wiper plate 2 by means of screws and can therefore be easily replaced when worn.
  • the surfaces 18 of the holding web lie practically free of play on the counter surfaces 22. This results in a good connection stability of the holding web 3 and wiping plates 2 with respect to bending about axes of rotation lying in the plate plane 9.
  • the wiping device 1 is thus well secured against bending when wiping, despite the slot bearing play 10.
  • the retaining web plates 23 are opposite those Mop plates 2 prevented from slipping. This is because the retaining web plates 23 are countersunk flush in the plate surface 22 at a depth of a few millimeters.
  • the countersunk edges 24 serve here as abutments against slipping. In connection with the fasteners, there is thus a firm anchoring of the retaining web 3 and wiper plates 2 without the bearing bushes 4 or bearing pins 5 being loaded in this case.
  • the latching solution shown in the exemplary embodiment can easily be replaced by other, e.g. be replaced by a magnetic connection, or by other types of catches. It would also be possible to provide other abutment elements to prevent the retaining web 3 and wiper plates 2 from slipping.
  • the solution proposed here allows using a cleaning flat press without manual contact with the cleaning agent or water used and without the need to bend down, rinse out the wiper, clean it and then bring it back into the wiping position. Because after the cleaning process, the wiping device 1 can be pressed onto the wiping plates 2, e.g. with the help of a foot, can be locked securely in the wiping position.
