Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wiper device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a mopping device is known, for example, from German utility model 80 06 578. It is used for wet cleaning of floor coverings.
  • the wiping element fixed to the support plate is designed so that after immersion and rinsing in a bucket filled with water, it can be folded in by a pivoting movement of the side pieces directed towards the underside of the center piece and pressed into itself to remove excess water.
  • the forces required for this are transmitted with the aid of a pulling device.
  • this ends at a distance above the joint which makes it necessary to use the push rods to guide the forces opposite one another on the outside of the universal joint.
  • the handle cannot be pivoted in these directions relative to the support plate, which greatly impairs the utility value of such a mopping device.
  • the push rods must also be robust and therefore heavy in design with a view to ensuring sufficient kink resistance, which impairs the handling of the mopping device and is unsatisfactory.
  • the transferable forces are essentially identical to the physical strength of the user.
  • the invention has for its object to develop such a mopping device such that the handle can be pivoted relative to the support plate in any direction and that allows reduced weight, the physical strength of the user forces when squeezing water distributed in the wiping element between to bring the center piece and the side pieces to effectiveness.
  • the joint which connects the support body to the handle is designed as a universal joint.
  • the handle can be pivoted sideways in any direction relative to the support plate, which allows the wiper to be used equally well in the longitudinal and transverse directions. This possibility is of considerable importance for the universal applicability of the mopping device.
  • the pulling device is guided through the universal joint and, at least in the area of its lower end, is formed by two pulling elements, which run in opposite directions past the underside of the swivel joints directly to the side pieces, the pulling elements being at a distance from the Swivel joints are fixed on the side pieces and the tension elements are arranged in an opening of the wiping element which is open at the bottom.
  • the components of the swivel device are no longer exposed to buckling. They therefore allow considerable forces to be transmitted at a low weight and to be used for pressing out the wiping element.
  • the squeezing process can be designed particularly intensively and quickly if the pulling device is connected at the upper end to a pivoting lever, if the pivoting lever and the handle are connected by a joint and if the pulling device can be moved upward relative to the handle by the pivoting lever.
  • the pivot lever can extend parallel to the handle when not in use and in this case does not appear to be a nuisance.
  • the pivoting lever When not in use, the pivoting lever can also form a substantially straight extension of the handle and have a length which is essentially the same.
  • the unit formed in this way can be folded like scissors with the support of the body weight of the user.
  • the large path that arises is opposed by the small relative movement of the side pieces of the support plate with respect to the middle piece, which movement is required for the pressing-out process.
  • the squeezing forces released when the pivot lever of such an embodiment is actuated are accordingly considerable.
  • a further increase in the squeezing forces released when the pivot lever is actuated can be achieved if a rocker arm articulated on both sides is provided between the pulling device and the pivot lever and if the rocker arm is slidably supported on a slide bearing of the stick.
  • the low forces resulting at the start of the pivoting movement of the handle are sufficient for the counterforce of the wiping element to be pressed out, which is still relatively low in this pivoting phase. They experience an increasing increase towards the end of the swiveling movement, which favors the removal of the water located in the wiping element.
  • a further increase in the squeezing effect can be achieved if the rocker arm is provided with a run-up slope in such a configuration in the region of the end facing the pulling device and if the run-up slope can be brought into engagement with the slide bearing when the pivot lever is actuated.
  • the ramp should be about a third of the total length of the rocker arm. It closes with the stem when not activated Swivel lever suitably an angle of about 25 to 45 degrees and ensures the achievement of maximum extrusion forces during the extrusion process, whereby the wiping element is suitable for wet cleaning in addition to wet cleaning large areas and especially for binding dust that sometimes only on such surfaces in small quantities, but extremely disruptive from an aesthetic point of view.
  • the swivel lever should be designed so that when not actuated it represents a straight extension of the actual handle. It is advisable in such cases if the joint can be blocked by a latching device when the pivoting lever is assigned to the handle in an elongated manner and can be disengaged in order to carry out the squeezing process. With a minimal overall weight of the ready-to-use mopping device, this design can achieve a reduction in manufacturing costs while ensuring great robustness.
  • the latching device can comprise a spring-loaded locking bolt, which is expediently designed so that it engages automatically when the arm and the pivoting lever are mutually stretched. It can thus continue to work immediately after the return of the pivot lever, without the need for actuation or control of the locking device.
  • the locking device can be made particularly light and stable if the locking bolt forms part of a locking catch pivotably mounted in the handle and if the locking catch and the pivot lever are mounted parallel to one another in the handle.
  • the locking bolt can be disengaged by an unlocking lever and if the unlocking lever can be actuated against the actuating direction of the pivoting lever.
  • the hand position of the wiper device does not require any change during the entire execution of the squeezing process and can partly correspond to that which results during the wiping process. This training is therefore of particular importance for achieving a swift and fatigue-free way of working.
  • the joint with which the swivel lever is mounted in the handle is provided with an end stop to limit the relative mobility of the pulling device.
  • the traction device can be provided with at least one elastic intermediate element to achieve the same purpose.
  • the tension elements are expediently fixed on the side pieces in the region of the mutually opposite outer sides. These have a bottom that is the bottom of the Middle piece added when the pulling device is not actuated in a substantially plane-parallel manner and which, together with this, is overlapped by the pulling elements. At the beginning of the actuation of the pulling device, this results in a very rapid erection of the side pieces with respect to the middle piece, which is possible without problems insofar as the transfer of greater forces to the wiping element is not yet necessary in this phase. With increasing progress of the relative displacement of the traction device, however, the speed of the relative movement in this regard slows down and is increasingly replaced by high forces, which enable extensive dewatering of the diffuse water contained in the wiping element.
  • the tension elements and the side pieces can be pivotally connected to improve the effect achieved in this regard.
  • the side pieces can be supported in a direct or indirect manner by means of return springs on the middle piece in order to ensure that they automatically return to the plane-parallel starting position with respect to the middle piece following the execution of a pressing-out process.
  • the tension elements are designed to be flexible and produced in a shape that corresponds to the elongated mutual association of the surfaces delimited on the underside by the center piece and the side pieces.
  • the tension elements can additionally be pressed by at least one pivot spring onto the surfaces delimiting the side pieces and / or the middle piece on the underside, which can be designed, for example, as a leaf spring. In this case, the risk of dirt particles sticking is reduced to a minimum.
  • the tension elements can be extended beyond the universal joint in the direction of the handle in order to further improve the flexible flexibility in the lateral direction.
  • the tension element and the remaining part of the tension device are expediently flexibly suspended in one another by means of eyelets which are open at the bottom. In this way, in the event of a lateral bend, compression of the tension element facing the direction of the pivoting movement and the tension device can be avoided.
  • This design is of considerable importance for durability, especially in cases in which the tension elements consist of a tough elastic material, for example plastic.
  • the universal joint can have swivel axes which are formed continuously and are at a vertical distance from one another. In this case, it is characterized by particularly great robustness in the case of small dimensions in the area above the support plate.
  • Figure 1 A wiper in longitudinal section, in which the pulling device is not actuated.
  • Figure 2 The wiper device of Figure 1 with the pulling device actuated.
  • Figures 3 and 3a A section of an area of the traction device used, which is not shown or not so clearly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in a relatively enlarged and in a longitudinal and cross-sectional representation.
  • the wiper device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises four assemblies, namely the pivot lever 10, the handle 1, the support plate 2 and the wiper element 3. These are described below:
  • the support plate 2 has the task of holding the wiping element 3 on the one hand and on the other hand enabling its alternative pressing and spreading, thus a double function. This eliminates the need for expensive drainage devices on the water tank, as was previously the case.
  • the support plate 2 is divided into the middle piece 4, which is fixed to the handle 1 by means of the universal joint 8 and into the side pieces 5, which are fastened to the middle piece 4 on opposite sides by the swivel joints 6.
  • the middle piece 4 and the side pieces 5 are delimited on the underside in the illustrated, unfolded state by a merging, essentially flat surface.
  • the tension elements 9, which are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, are guided over them considered, have only a small extent and which are inserted through the universal joint 8 into the handle 1 and connected to the traction device 7 enclosed by it.
  • the pulling elements 9 are loosely guided past the underside of the swivel joints 6 when the pulling device 7 is not actuated, and are fastened to the opposite outer sides of the side pieces 5.
  • the pivot springs 20 are designed as leaf springs and reinforce the effect described above.
  • the wiping element 3 is fastened releasably or non-releasably to the support plate 2. It is penetrated vertically in the area of the tension elements 9 by a breakthrough and is otherwise in direct contact with the surface delimiting the support plate 2 on the underside.
  • the boundary surfaces of the wiping element 3 located below the side pieces 5 and pointing downward are thereby initially moved inwards in a mutually directed manner during the pivoting-in movement of the side pieces 5 and finally pressed with the area of the wiping element 3 lying in the intermediate zone.
  • the intermediate zone has a spatial one Expansion which corresponds approximately to that of the two side pieces, as a result of which the squeezing process affects the entirety of the wiping element 3 in approximately the same way. Diffuse water contained in the wiping element 3 can thereby be almost completely removed during the squeezing process.
  • the wiping element 3 expediently consists of two independently produced and assembled units of the same shape and size, which are detachably fastened to the support plate 2 on both sides of the tension element 9.
  • the units can be formed by pleated mops, in which the pleats extend parallel to the plane of the drawing and have a uniform height throughout. They are expediently provided on the top with retaining strips, which simplifies the releasable attachment to the support plate 2.
  • corresponding retaining strips are provided only in the area of the side pieces 5, for example those made of plastic, which can be fixed in recesses in the side pieces of corresponding shape and size with the aid of spring-loaded locking keys. In such a configuration, the disengagement can be done by simply pressing together the locking buttons opposite each other on both sides of the tension elements 9, and consequently there is no hand touch of the used mops during an exchange.
  • the middle piece 4 encloses the lower axis of the universal joint 8, which is at a distance from the upper axis 8.1.
  • the upper axis is mounted in an articulated fork, which forms part of the handle 1.
  • the spatial extension is extremely small, corresponding to the stem.
  • the handle 1 consists, moreover, of an aluminum tube which surrounds the pulling device and is plugged on the one hand on the upper end of the joint fork 1.1 and on the other hand on the lower end of the force unit 1.2.
  • the force that can be released by kinking the pivot lever 10 is reduced in the force unit 1.2 and, after overcoming the lost motion caused by the distance A, is converted from an initially fast, less powerful to a slow, powerful pulling movement.
  • the pivot lever 10 is connected to the traction device 7 by a rocker arm 12 and the rocker arm 12 is supported on the one hand on the slide bearing 13 of the force unit 1.2 and on the other hand is provided with a run-up slope 14.
  • a stop 18 is provided on the force unit 1.2 for limiting the pivoting movement of the pivot lever 10.
  • the dimensional design of the rocker arm 12 is so coordinated with the inclination of the ramp 14 that towards the end of the lever movement of the pivot lever 10, thus shortly before reaching the stop 18 of the force unit 1.2, there is a reduction in the force resistance of the pivot lever 10, which in the Traction device 7 effective tensile force is not reduced.
  • This effect is design-related and signals prematurely that the stop 18 has been reached, which contributes significantly to avoid overloading the joint 11 (FIG. 2).
  • On the force unit 1.2 there is also the latching device 15, by means of which the pivot lever 10 can be blocked in an axis-parallel assignment to the handle 1.
  • the latching device 15 comprises a resiliently loaded locking bolt, which is in a stretched mutual association of the handle 1 and the Swivel lever 10 is engaged.
  • a pivotally mounted locking catch 16 in the force unit 1.2 It also forms part of a pivotally mounted locking catch 16 in the force unit 1.2, the locking catch 16 and the pivot lever 10 being mounted parallel to one another in the handle, and the locking catch being able to be disengaged by an unlocking lever 17 which can be actuated against the direction of actuation of the pivot lever 10 .
  • a handle 23 is attached, which is connected to the pivot lever 10 so that the center of gravity of the leading hand during the intended use of the mopping device lies approximately in the extended axis of the pivot lever 10 and the handle 1. This allows a largely tension-free hand and body posture and thus ensures largely fatigue-free use of the wiper device according to the invention.
  • the upward-facing arc of the handle in the position of use is also a good hand rest when actuating the pivoting lever 10.
  • the handle can be rotated into four locking positions via its linkage 23.1 and can thus be adjusted to any working position and direction of use of the wiping element 3. To do this, push the handle a few millimeters towards the handle and swivel it a quarter turn. It engages under spring load.
  • the swiveling direction is arbitrary and the wiper can be operated with both right and left handed hands.
  • FIG. 1 a section of the traction device which is not shown or not so clearly shown in FIG. 1 is shown in the front and side view. It comprises two elastic intermediate members 19, which are integral with the Traction device 7 are formed from plastic and designed in a ring shape. Their presence prevents overloading of the pulling device 7 and thus favors the achievement of a particularly long service life.
  • the pulling device 7 is provided with the pulling piece 26, which surrounds the connecting rod 7.1 in the manner shown when the pivoting device is not actuated.
  • the coupling studs 24 of the connecting rod 7.1 have an axial distance A from the drivers 25. This is dimensioned so large that the length compensation of the pulling device 7 required for the lateral pivoting of the arm 1 results automatically and compression of the pulling device 7 is avoided.
  • the driver pin 7.2 takes a position directly above the upper axis 8.1 of the universal joint.
  • the handle 1 After overcoming the pivot lever, not shown, the handle 1 is already assigned at an obtuse angle, which allows a scissor-like buckling with the support of the user's own weight and, as a result, facilitates the introduction of the forces required for actuating the pulling device 7.
  • the mopping device according to the invention is expediently used in connection with a water container, the layout of which is rectangular and which, due to its truncated pyramid shape, is readily stackable.
  • the floor plan is adapted to the spatial extent of the support plate.
  • On the opposite narrow sides of the container there are pressing cheeks with mounting studs opposite each other (Fig. 4). These compensate for the necessary bevels of the container walls and produce the necessary clear width for a precisely fitting insertion of the support body 2 with the wiping element located thereon.
  • the press cheeks which are chamfered on all sides, each contain a mounting stud, on which the center piece with its recesses arranged on the narrow side can be placed when the pug is pressed out (FIG. 4a).
  • the inner carrying handle of the water tank is articulated in the middle via easy-to-mount, self-locking cross pins under its upper, peripheral edge. When folded down, the handle comes to rest under the edge of the container.
  • the wiping element can comprise two lamella mops (FIG. 5), which can be fastened lying next to one another on the lower boundary surface of the support plate 2.
  • Each of the lamellar mops expediently consists of a 180 mm wide and approx. 1300 mm long strip made of an absorbent nonwoven material which is folded in a lamellar fashion and fastened to two locking clasps arranged parallel to one another.
  • the latch clips are made of plastic and are connected to the nonwoven material by a water, boil and chemical resistant adhesive.
  • the adhesive surface which is equipped with adhesive flow grooves, covers the entire underside of the latch clips.
  • the notches which are arranged in the same envelope, are provided with a stiffening web that has four spacing webs. The insertion and removal from the recesses in the side pieces 5 is thereby facilitated.
  • the filled water container is on the floor or on a roller unit.
  • the support plate 2 is immersed in the water tank with the handle 1 slightly inclined (FIG. 6). The inclined position is required in order to guide the support plate 2 past the mounting studs. Thereupon, with the handle held vertically, the support plate with the lamellar mops fixed on its underside is moved several times abruptly to the bottom of the water container. The strongly swirling water flow generated by this releases the dirt particles adhering to the mop.
  • the wiping device is then lifted vertically and placed on the placement studs of the container.
  • the side pieces of the support plate 1 are thereby freely movable.
  • the release lever 17 is now moved outward as far as it will go, thus releasing the pivot lever 10, which can be held on the handle 23 and pivoted downward (FIG. 7).
  • This movement produces a relative displacement of the rocker arm 12 on the slide bearing 13 and as a result of this a relative movement of the pulling device 7 in the handle 1 upwards.
  • the tension elements 9 are thereby also pulled upward and cause the opposite side pieces 5 of the support plate 2 to pivot in (FIG. 8).
  • This relative movement requires the lamella mop fixed on the support plate 2 to be pressed out.
  • the pivot lever 10 is folded up again. It is automatically blocked by the locking device 15 when it reaches a position in which it is assigned to the handle 1 in a stretched manner.
  • the desired degree of moisture in the mops can be determined sensitively by pressing the swivel lever 10 down more or less. By pivoting the pivot lever 10 until the stop 14 is reached, the mop or the wiping element 3 is drained as far as possible and thus a state is achieved which ensures very good water absorption from the surface of a previously wet-wiped floor.
  • the wiping is expediently carried out with both hands, for example by the right hand enclosing the handle 23, the left hand immediately below the upper part of the pivot lever 10 includes.
  • This requires good guidance of the mopping device, a posture appropriate to the work and thus a very low expenditure of force when the mopping device is used as intended.
  • the support plate 2 with the wiping element 3 attached to it can be brought via the universal joint 8 and the handle 1 with the handle 23 into any position, but always lying flat on the floor, and can thus be delicately guided around furniture corners.
  • the edge of the wiping element which slightly protrudes on all sides of the support plate during the intended use, enables convenient and thorough cleaning of edge angles.
  • the handle 1 can be pivoted down to the floor via both universal joint axes, and both the wide and the narrow side of the mopping device can thus be used in an equivalent manner.
  • the handle 23 can be brought into an apparently useful position of use by a quarter turn. Used or used pug can be removed by pressing the locking buttons on the side pieces of the support plate 2. This is possible without touching the pug, which can easily be dropped and disposed of when changing into a provided container for used pug.
  • the wiper device according to the invention (FIG. 9) is intended for wet and wet cleaning of large areas, in particular of floors.
  • Other possible uses relate to the thorough cleaning of tiled walls, stairs, large walk-in containers, the prewashing of large glass surfaces such as shop windows and the washing of large structures, such as the box bodies of furniture trucks, delivery vans, etc.
