Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gerät zum Naßreinigen insbesondere von Fensterscheiben, wie solche aus einem länglichen Träger für einen letzteren umschließenden abnehmbaren, fellartigen Reinigungskörper und einer stielartigen Handhabe bestehen, die an dem Träger rechtwinklig zu diesem fest angeordnet ist, wobei der Mantel des Reinigungskörpers einen Längsschlitz aufweist, mit dessen Hilfe er auf den Träger aufbringbar ist.The invention relates to a device for wet cleaning, in particular of window panes, such as those consisting of an elongate carrier for a removable, fur-like cleaning body enclosing the latter and a handle-like handle which is fixedly arranged on the carrier at right angles to the latter, the jacket of the cleaning body one Has longitudinal slot, with the help of which it can be applied to the carrier.

Derartige Geräte sind bekannt. Ihnen haften folgende wesentliche Nachteile an. So ist das Reinigen der Fensterscheiben für den Fall erschwert, daß der Träger länger ist als die Breite der Fensterscheibe. Das Gerät kann ferner zum bodenseitigen Reinigen der Fensterscheibe dann nicht eingesetzt werden, wenn das Fenster bis oder nahezu bis an den Fußboden reicht und vor dem Fenster beispielsweise ein Heizkörper angeordnet ist. Denn zum bodenseitigen Reinigen der Fensterscheibe muß das Gerät unterhalb des Heizkörpers geführt und mit seinem Reinigungskörper hochkant an die Fensterscheibe angesetzt werden. Dies ist jedoch bei einem aus senkrecht angeordneten Radiatoren bestehenden Heizkörper wegen der Verbindung der Radiatoren untereinander nahe des Fußbodens nicht möglich. Es muß schließlich der Reinigungskörper einen sich mindestens über seine halbe Länge erstreckenden Schlitz aufweisen, um den Träger des Reinigungsgerätes in den Reinigungskörper einbringen zu können. Um aber den Reinigungskörper auf dem Träger zu sichern, müssen die längsseitigen Begrenzungen des Schlitzes beispielsweise mittels Druckknöpfen zusammen­gehalten werden.Such devices are known. You have the following major disadvantages. This makes cleaning the window panes difficult in the event that the carrier is longer than the width of the window pane. The device can also not be used for cleaning the bottom of the window pane when the window reaches or almost reaches the floor and a radiator is arranged in front of the window, for example. Because to clean the bottom of the window pane, the device must be guided below the radiator and placed with its cleaning element upright on the window pane. However, this is not possible with a radiator consisting of vertically arranged radiators because of the connection of the radiators to one another near the floor. Finally, the cleaning body must be at least halfway through Have length extending slot in order to be able to introduce the carrier of the cleaning device into the cleaning body. However, in order to secure the cleaning body on the carrier, the longitudinal boundaries of the slot must be held together, for example by means of push buttons.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gerät der eingangs genannten Gattung so weiter auszubilden, daß es unabhängig von der jeweiligen Breite der zu reinigenden Fensterscheibe und an schlecht zugänglichen Stellen der Fensterscheibe mühelos eingesetzt werden kann. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, den Reinigungskörper mit Bezug auf seine Halterung auf dem Träger des Gerätes zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object to develop a device of the type mentioned so that it can be used regardless of the width of the window pane to be cleaned and in difficult to access areas of the window pane. Another object of the invention is to simplify the cleaning body with respect to its mounting on the carrier of the device.

Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß

  • a) an dem vorderen Ende der Handhabe des Gerätes quer zu diesem ein Halter fest angeordnet ist, der an seinen Enden je einen kurzen Gewindezapfen aufweist, und auf die Gewindezapfen längliche Arme aufgeschraubt sind, die gemeinsam mit dem Halter den Träger für den beidenends offenen Reinigungskörper bilden,
  • b) der Längsschlitz im Mantel des Reinigungskörpers dem Halter des Gerätes zugeordnet ist und eine etwa der des Halters und eines Gewindezapfens entsprechende Länge aufweist.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that
  • a) at the front end of the handle of the device a holder is fixedly arranged transversely to this, each having a short threaded pin at its ends, and elongated arms are screwed onto the threaded pin, which together with the holder, the carrier for the cleaning body open at both ends form,
  • b) the longitudinal slot in the jacket of the cleaning body is assigned to the holder of the device and has a length corresponding approximately to that of the holder and a threaded pin.

Das Gerät wird mit dem Halter und dem einen Gewindezapfen durch den Längsschlitz hindurch in den Reinigungskörper eingebracht und anschließend in den Reinigungskörper bis zum Anschlagen der Handhabe an das eine Ende des Längsschlitzes verschoben, wonach der andere Gewindezapfen durch den Längsschlitz hindurch in den Reinigungskörper eingebracht und im Anschluß hieran das Gerät in Richtung auf das andere Ende des Längsschlitzes so weit verschoben wird, bis der Halter sich etwa in der Mitte des Längs­schlitzes befindet. Hiernach werden die Arme des Gerätes in den Reinigungskörper eingebracht und auf die Gewindezapfen aufgeschraubt. Der Reinigungskörper ist hiernach sicher auf den Armen gehaltert, ohne daß die längsseitigen Begrenzungen des Längsschlitzes beispielsweise mittels Druckknöpfen zusammengehalten werden müssen.The device is inserted with the holder and the one threaded pin through the longitudinal slot into the cleaning body and then moved into the cleaning body until the handle strikes one end of the longitudinal slot, after which the other threaded pin through the longitudinal slot into the cleaning body introduced and then the device is moved towards the other end of the longitudinal slot until the holder is located approximately in the middle of the longitudinal slot. The arms of the device are then inserted into the cleaning body and screwed onto the threaded pin. The cleaning body is then securely held on the arms without the longitudinal boundaries of the longitudinal slot having to be held together, for example by means of push buttons.

Durch das Gerät kann infolge der Austauschbarkeit der Arme oder durch den Fortfall eines Armes den sich beim Reinigen einer Fensterscheibe ergebenden Erfordernissen Rechnung getragen werden. So kann das Gerät zum Reinigen der Fensterscheibe mit Armen in einer Länge versehen werden, die der Breite der Fensterscheibe entsprechen. Es ist hierdurch das Reinigen wesentlich erleichert. Das Gerät ermöglicht ferner Reinigen der Fensterscheibe nahe des Bodens auch für den Fall, daß vor der Fensterscheibe nahe letzterer ein aus senkrecht angeordneten Radiatoren bestehender Heizkörper angeordnet ist, der wegen der bodenseitigen Verbindungen der Radiatoren mit beiden Armen des Gerätes zum Ansetzen an die Fensterscheibe nicht hintergriffen werden kann. Der nicht zum Einsatz gelangende Teil des Reinigungs­körpers wird dabei so umgelegt, daß er zusammen mit der Handhabe des Gerätes gefaßt wird . Er ist dadurch beim Reinigen nicht hinderlich.Due to the interchangeability of the arms or the omission of one arm, the device can take into account the requirements that arise when cleaning a window pane. For example, the device for cleaning the window pane can be provided with arms that correspond to the width of the window pane. This makes cleaning much easier. The device also enables cleaning of the window near the floor even in the event that a radiator consisting of vertically arranged radiators is arranged in front of the window near the latter, which does not engage due to the bottom connections of the radiators with both arms of the device for attachment to the window can be. The part of the cleaning body that is not used is turned over so that it is gripped together with the handle of the device. It is therefore not a hindrance when cleaning.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Reinigungskörper mindestens mit seinem einen Ende gegenüber dem zugehörigen Arm des Gerätes vorsteht und in dem Reinigungskörper ein bis an das freie Ende des vorstehenden Teiles des Reinigungskörpers reichender Draht o.dgl. eingelassen ist.An advantageous development of the invention consists in that the cleaning body protrudes at least with one end relative to the associated arm of the device and in the cleaning body a wire or the like extending to the free end of the projecting part of the cleaning body. is let in.

Um stark verschmutzte Stellen an den Fensterscheiben leichter reinigen zu können, wird der vorstehende Teil des Reinigungskörpers umgelegt, wobei der umgelegte Teil durch den Draht in seiner Lage gehalten wird. Der Reinigungskörper wird nunmehr mit seinem umgelegten Teil an die stark verschmutzte Stelle der Fensterscheibe angesetzt, die auf diese Weise leichter zu reinigen ist, als es mit dem längsseitigen Teil des Reinigungskörpers möglich ist. Der umgelegte Teil des Reinigungskörpers kann bei Nichtgebrauch zusammen mit dem Draht wieder in seine Ausgangslage gebracht werden.In order to be able to clean heavily soiled areas on the window panes more easily, the projecting part of the cleaning body is folded over, the folded part being held in position by the wire. The detached part of the cleaning body is now attached to the heavily soiled point of the window pane, which is easier to clean in this way than is possible with the longitudinal part of the cleaning body. The folded part of the cleaning body can be returned to its starting position together with the wire when not in use.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die Arme und der Halter sich längs­erstreckende, rinnenförmige Vertiefungen aufweisen.Another advantageous development of the invention consists in that the arms and the holder have longitudinal, channel-shaped depressions.

Beim Eintauchen des Gerätes in das Waschwasser füllen sich die Vertiefungen mit dem Waschwasser, wodurch neben dem Reinigungskörper Waschwasser aufgenommen wird.When the device is immersed in the washing water, the depressions fill with the washing water, whereby washing water is absorbed next to the cleaning body.
