Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mop for polishing floors and other surfaces, designed according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a mop is e.g. known from FR-A-731 569.
  • a polishing device has become known through the Spanish utility model no. 175.229, which consists of a flat coating in which a rigid metal frame holder is installed. This engages in this cover through an opening with a zipper.
  • the holder consists of an elongated ring and a central device for coupling a stem, which protrudes from an opening of the cover. A few rows of string hang out of the cover and are fastened with a seam.
  • the introduction of the metal frame through the above-mentioned opening in the cover after a previously dismantled handle is a cumbersome process.
  • the cleaning device of the Spanish utility model No. 278.339 also consists of a flexible, elongated piece of fabric, on the edges of which there are some fringes. Opposite pockets are attached to the top to introduce a flexible, articulated bracket with a handle.
  • the wiping and polishing process disadvantageously take place with the same lower surface elements of the wiping part, so that during polishing, which takes place under pressure, the dirt sucked up during wiping is pressed back into the floor.
  • the object of the present invention was to design a generic mop with regard to its wiping part in such a way that polishing is made possible by two simultaneous processes of different pressure intensities against the surface concerned.
  • the mop according to the invention is characterized by a structure of flat nonwovens, which consist of an upper group of materials with a peripheral gradation of the nonwoven fabrics lying one on top of the other, so that the size of the areas decreases from top to bottom.
  • the outer edges have fringe-like incisions.
  • the lower group consists of the same size, but smaller than the upper, nonwovens.
  • the individual fabrics are connected by seams.
  • the uppermost fabric surface has a central opening and, opposite to each other, two pockets into which a holder for coupling a handle is inserted. The position and size of these bags must correspond exactly to that of the lower group of fabrics.
  • seams running along the long center line of the rectangular nonwovens hold the individual layers together, with the exception of the upper fabric, and other seams run around the central opening of the upper fabric and its pockets in an oval, closed line, the upper fabric only with connecting the one immediately below.
  • a second advantageous embodiment consists in that a plurality of seams lying next to one another, which run around the central opening of the upper fabric as described above, connect all the nonwoven fabric layers to one another.
  • the pockets are fastened with their own seam to the fabric immediately below them.
  • the opposing pockets of the upper fabric can also be formed by turning the two pieces of fabric (flaps) that arise when the central opening of the upper nonwoven fabric is cut out.
  • FIG. 1 The mop 1 is connected to a holder 2 for the purpose of coupling to a handle 3 for manual handling.
  • this mop 1 consists of a flat structure made of absorbent nonwoven fabric, which is held by seams and whose shape is essentially rectangular, with rounded corners, or which has an oval shape.
  • the substances mentioned comprise an upper group of four substances 4, 5, 6, 7 in the present example, the surface areas of which decrease from top to bottom and whose edges are thus stepped and have incisions which have fringing strips 8. They further comprise a lower group of two identical fabrics 9 and 10 in FIG. 1, which are smaller than the immediately following upper fabric 7 and whose edge is smooth.
  • the uppermost fabric 4 forms a central rectangular opening 13, from which two tab-shaped parts 14 protrude (FIG. 1).
  • the two parts are turned inside out and form pockets 15 which are fastened with a few seams 16 (FIGS. 2 and 4).
  • the pockets 15 serve to receive the ends of the holder 2.
  • This consists in a conventional manner of a flat, semi-rigid part made of synthetic resin with ribbing 17 and grooves 18 for elasticization and of a central part 19 between two opposite windows 20.
  • a hinge device for connecting a coupling arm 22 for the handle 3 mentioned.
  • a peculiarity of the pug 1 according to the invention is that the substances 9 and 10 of the lower group of substances correspond in position and extension to the holder 2.
  • the mop has a central zone for scrubbing a surface to be treated under pressure, which is transferred via the handle 3 to these lower fabrics 9 and 10, and there is an outer part made of fringes of fabrics 4, 5, 6, 7 for the soft Wipe available. It is therefore possible to use the mop according to the invention to exert two different pressure levels on the surface to be treated at the same time in order to achieve a better cleaning and polishing process at the same time.
