Definitions

• the invention relates to a strip-shaped carrier made of natural and / or synthetic fibers in the form of a nonwoven, woven or knitted fabric which is loaded with foaming cleaning agents with foam-suppressing chemical active substances for use.
• Such a carrier is known from DE-OS 35 27 089 by the applicant.
• the carrier is superficially loaded with foam-suppressing agents from the group of paraffin oils, waxes, fatty acid esters, trialkyl melamines, silicone oils and mixtures thereof. If such a carrier is now introduced into a foaming cleaning liquid or the like, no foaming occurs or only a substantially lower amount.
• the packaging of a carrier of the type in question represents a hitherto unsolved problem.
• the carrier has a moist, sticky or greasy surface, which means that the carrier remains stuck to the packaging material when unpacking or that User at. Unpacking with the active substance comes into skin contact, which even leads to Rejection of such a product can result.
• active substances can already escape (for example by evaporation), so that the life of the carrier is unnecessarily shortened.
• the object of the invention is to provide a solution by means of which such a carrier can be packaged in a manageable manner with as little space as possible before use, that is to say before it is brought into contact with cleaning agents, and can give off no foam-suppressing active ingredients before use.
• This object is achieved according to the invention with a carrier of the type mentioned at the outset in that the carrier, in order to unfold its full surface, is arranged in a closed, water-soluble film only when it comes into contact with the cleaning agents in a packed form.
• This packaging of the carrier leads to a considerable improvement in the manageability of the same.
• the carrier When the carrier is inserted into a cleaning apparatus or the like, the user does not come into manual contact with the surface loaded with active substance, but only with the skin-friendly, water-soluble film. This film dissolves when it comes into contact with the cleaning agent, so that the active substance of the carrier ab ⁇ e to the cleaning agent can be given.
• the packaged shape of the carrier in the film largely limits the space required. Due to the flow of the cleaning agent or its own gravity, the carrier only unfolds its full surface after the film has dissolved and only then releases its active substances.
• the carrier is folded into an accordion in its longitudinal extension. This type of folding enables a particularly rapid and reliable complete unfolding of the carrier, particularly when a carrier is arranged in a tube through which foaming liquid flows.
• the carrier is folded in several layers in its transverse extent. This version is intended in particular for wider carriers in order to minimize the space requirement in the packed state.
• a fastening device protruding from the film is arranged on the carrier.
• the carrier can be fastened to a specific location of a cleaning apparatus or a pipe through which cleaning agent flows.
• the wearer may feel exhausted its effectiveness can be removed without manual contact by means of the fastening device.
• the fastening device is designed as a cord with barbs at the ends. One barb is inserted through the carrier, while the other is used for attachment.
• the invention also provides for the use of the carrier described above for foam damping in the intake pipe of a spray extraction device.
• a carrier packaged in this way in such a device is particularly suitable.
• a floor extraction surface to be cleaned is first sprayed with a cleaning liquid by means of a spray extraction device and is then freed from it again by suction in the same operation.
• the arrangement of the carrier in the suction line prevents foaming from occurring, as a result of which the collecting container of the device would be completely filled in a very short time and would accordingly have to be emptied continuously.
• Fig. 2 shows the carrier in the inserted state before flowing through the suction line with foaming cleaning agents
• Fig. 3 shows the same embodiment as in Fig. 2 during the flow, in
• Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of the invention before flowing through and in
• Fig. 5 the same embodiment as in Fig. 4 during the flow.
• a fastening cord 3 is arranged, which is provided at one end with a barb 4, whereby the fastening to the carrier 1 is ensured.
• the cord 3 is guided out of the film 2, a passage point 5 of the film 2 being welded closed, so that no air can penetrate into the film 2.
• a barb 6 is also arranged for fastening.
• An intake line 7 of a spray extraction device consists of two telescoping tubes 8 and 9.
• the tubes 8, 9 have conical end regions 10, 11 for telescoping.
• the two pipes 8, 9 are pulled apart and the carrier 1 located in the film 2 is hung into the lower pipe by means of the fastening cord 3, as shown in FIG. 1.
• the upper tube 8 is inserted with its conical end portion 10 in the end portion 11 of the tube 9, so that the carrier 1 hangs fixed in the suction line 7.
• the suction line 7 also knew to be arranged in a position deviating from the vertical position shown in the drawing.
• FIG. 2 shows the carrier 1 in the state inserted into the intake line 7, with no flow of cleaning agent through the intake line 7 yet.
• the carrier 1 is arranged in the longitudinal direction in an accordion-folded manner in the film 2.
• 3 shows the carrier 1 in the state of the suction line 7 through which the cleaning agent flows, the direction of flow being indicated by the arrow 12. Due to the contact with the cleaning agent, the film 2 has dissolved and the carrier 1 has unfolded from its accordion-shaped folding position (dashed folding lines 13) in the longitudinal direction by the flow process.
• the carrier 1a which has a greater extension than the carrier 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, is folded in the longitudinal direction of the accordion and additionally folded on one side in the transverse direction and arranged in this state in the film 2a. After the film 2a has been dissolved by the cleaning agent (FIG. 5), the carrier] a is unfolded due to the flow, the type of previous folding being indicated by broken lines 13a, 14a.
• the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. Further refinements of the invention are possible without leaving the basic idea. So the carrier could also on other re way, for example by rolling up or the like. To be arranged in the film and the like. More.
