Definitions

  • the invention relates to a handle broom for cleaning both smooth and textile floors, consisting of a handle and an elongated bristle carrier attached to it, which has bristle trimmings with different stiffness on at least two mutually inclined surfaces.
  • brooms for cleaning smooth floors, such as stone, wood and plastic floors, brooms (brooms or hand brushes) with a relatively soft and dense bristle trim are used to obtain a closed and pliant cleaning surface with which even the smallest dirt particles can be swept up and picked up.
  • brooms are unsuitable for carpets, textile coverings, etc., because the bristles dodge, do not penetrate the textile structure and cannot collect coarse dirt particles.
  • Such floors are therefore worked almost exclusively with vacuum cleaners, but on the one hand that Long-term stress on textile material, on the other hand, it requires some effort for commissioning.
  • brushes and hand brushes are also used temporarily in order to be able to pick up at least small-scale dirt or larger dirt particles without a vacuum cleaner.
  • the fill of such brooms consists of much harder bristles, which penetrate better into the textile structure and push the dirt particles out of the surface.
  • these brooms have lost significant importance for the convenience of the vacuum cleaner. The rule today is therefore that, for textile floors, exclusively the vacuum cleaner, for smooth floors, however, the broom is still used to a large extent.
  • the working angle is the same in both positions and thus unfavorable for at least one position, while with an isosceles triangle there is the disadvantage that the working angle (angle between the stem and the surface of the ground) is for the two purposes are different, but only for one purpose, ergonomically is favorable, unless a compromise is made that is unfavorable for both positions.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a handle broom that meets both purposes and allows ergonomically optimal work with each use.
  • the bristle carrier is longitudinally divided into at least two carrier parts, each with a bristle trim and one of the two carrier parts is firmly connected to the stem, and that the two carrier parts are articulated on the longitudinal edges facing each other and adjustable in their angular position to each other are.
  • a double-acting broom is created, which can be used with its bristle trim of lower stiffness for cleaning smooth floors and with its bristle trim with greater stiffness for cleaning textile floors.
  • the handle only needs to be rotated 180 degrees around its own axis, which is easily possible with just one hand.
  • the stem is held so that the section of the bristle carrier with the desired trim runs approximately parallel to the floor.
  • the two bristle carrier parts are adjustable in their angular position relative to one another, so that in both working positions an ergonomically optimal angular position of the handle relative to the floor and also an optimal angular position of the bristles relative to the floor can be set for the intended purpose.
  • the front carrier part has the bristle trimmings with the greater rigidity, ie it is used for cleaning textile coverings, while the rear carrier part with the softer bristle trimmings is intended for cleaning smooth floors.
  • the handle is preferably attached to the rear support part in an optimal angular position for its use, while the front support part can be set in an optimal angular position for cleaning textile floors with respect to the handle then rotated about its axis.
  • Both carrier parts are expediently of equal length, but the front carrier part is advantageously narrower than the rear support part, since the volume of the bristle trim for cleaning textile floors can be smaller than that on the other support part for cleaning smooth floors.
  • the joint between the two carrier parts is preferably designed in a hinge-like manner in order to obtain a stable joint connection over the entire length of the bristle carrier.
  • the two carrier parts are connected on their upper side facing away from the bristles via a device for adjusting their angular position.
  • the setting can thus be made on the top of the bristle holder.
  • the adjusting device advantageously consists of an actuating member arranged on the front carrier part and a latching device arranged between the two parts.
  • the front support part can thus be adjusted by means of the actuating member connected to it.
  • the locking device ensures the determination of the angular position and can be determined and released in a particularly simple manner.
  • the latching device can consist, for example, of at least one component arranged on the actuating member and one on the rear support part. The latching device is thus integrated into the actuating member.
  • the actuating member is preferably formed by a U-shaped bracket which rises on the upper side of the front carrier part and which has one of the two components of the latching device on its legs. while the other component on the rear support part lies within the pivoting range of the legs of the bracket.
  • the one component of the latching device each having a resiliently supported latching nose arranged on each leg of the U-shaped bracket, and the other component comprising two cheeks rising at the top of the rear carrier part with several on a swivel radius of the arranged at the front carrier part arranged recesses.
  • the design is such that the U-shaped bracket encompasses the handle attached to the rear support part from the front to the rear by angled or curved its legs to the rear.
  • the bracket or its web is thus in the inner angle region between the handle and the rear support part, so that the actuating member can be operated in the position of the handle broom for cleaning smooth floors.
  • the handle can also form a stop for the web of the bracket, for example in a position in which both carrier parts lie in one plane, that is to say the angular position is 180 degrees.
  • the aforementioned embodiment gives in connection with the further feature that the behind the handle or the connecting this with the rear support member Housing extending web is designed as a handle or tread bar, especially in the latter variant, the advantage that in the normal working position for cleaning smooth floors by means of the foot by pressing on the tread bar, the angular position of the front support part for cleaning textile coverings is set can be so that the user does not have to bend down for the changeover.
  • the handle broom has a handle 1 of conventional length and a bristle support 2 which is connected to the handle 1 by means of a toggle handle 4 via a clamping device (not shown) accommodated in a handle housing 3.
  • the bristle carrier 2 consists of two carrier parts 5, 6, of which the rear carrier part 5 is connected to the handle 1, while the front carrier part 6 is articulated on the rear carrier part 5.
  • a hinge-like joint 7 serves as the bearing, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is formed by cylindrical bearing bodies 8 on the front carrier part 6 and surrounding partial cylindrical bearing shells 9 on the rear carrier part 5.
  • the front support part 6 can thus be pivoted relative to the rear support part 5 about the joint 7 and in different whose angular positions to it, as well as to the stem 1 are brought.
  • the rear carrier part 5 is provided with a bristle trim 10, which is formed from relatively soft bristles and is used for cleaning smooth floors. As can be seen from the drawing, the carrier part 5 is wider than the carrier part 6 located at the front and consequently takes up a larger number of fine bristles. In contrast, the front carrier part 6 has a bristle covering 11 made of stiffer and / or narrower bristles.
  • this setting device 12 consists of a bracket 13 and a latching device 14.
  • the bracket 13 also forms the actuating member.
  • the bracket 13 is U-shaped, the legs 15 are attached to the front support part 6 and angled backwards so that they grip the stem 1 or the stem housing 3 together with the web 16 connecting them from front to back.
  • the web 16 can be designed as a tread bar.
  • the latching device 14 consists of two latching noses 17, each of which is attached to one of the legs 15 of the bracket 13 and is resiliently or resiliently supported on the legs 15 via strips 18. Furthermore, the latching device 14 has a plurality of latching recesses 19 lying on a circular arc of the joint 7, which in the embodiment shown are provided on a sector-shaped cheek 20, which in turn is on the top of the support part 5 is arranged rising. By pushing or pulling on the kick strip 16, the latching lug 17 can be snapped into one of the latching recesses 19 and the carrier part 6 can be set in the desired angular position relative to the handle 1 or the carrier part 5.
  • the aforementioned embodiment has the advantage that only two components are required for the entire broom body, which can be produced, for example, by injection molding.
  • One component has the front support part 6, the strip-shaped bearing body 8 and the bracket 13 with the locking lug 17, while the other component consists of the rear support part 5 with the part-cylindrical bearing shells 9 of the joint 7 and the cheeks 20 with the locking recesses.
