Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser for a cleaning cloth.
  • the dispenser has a supply of the cleaning cloth in a housing, as well as a tank for holding a supply of wetting liquid and a device for applying the wetting liquid to the cleaning cloth.
  • a dispenser of the type mentioned is known from DE-A-34 12 069.
  • the cleaning cloth is wetted by spraying, for which purpose the cleaning cloth is guided past a spray nozzle.
  • the spray device is driven by an electric motor.
  • the known dispenser is only suitable for non-flammable wetting agents.
  • a device for spraying toilet or cleaning paper towels is known, with a funnel widening upwards being placed on the spray nozzle.
  • the paper towel to be wetted is placed on the funnel and pressed down together with it, so that the spray nozzle opens and sprays the paper towel on top.
  • the device is only suitable for non-flammable wetting liquids.
  • Trichlorethylene or perchlorethylene has been widely used to clean machine parts. These agents can be sprayed on or spread on safely since they are non-flammable. Then the surfaces then wiped with a cleaning cloth. The use of these chlorinated hydrocarbons will no longer be possible in the future. Substitutes are available, but they are mostly flammable and therefore cannot be sprayed on.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a dispenser for a moistened cleaning cloth, which does not spray the wetting agent and which is particularly simple.
  • the device for wetting the cleaning cloth has a funnel through which the cleaning cloth is passed, the funnel being movable against a restoring force from a rest position into an operating position, and that wetting liquid in by the movement of the funnel the funnel is passed, wherein the friction between the cleaning cloth and the inside of the funnel is sufficient to move the funnel from the rest position into the operating position when the cleaning cloth is pulled through the funnel.
  • the invention thus represents a dispenser for a wetted cleaning cloth, the cleaning cloth being removed manually and the cleaning cloth being simultaneously wetted with a cleaning agent.
  • the funnel is preferably mounted on an arm, which in turn is articulated on the housing and is pressed upwards into its rest position by a spring. If the cleaning cloth is pulled out of the funnel at the bottom, the friction between the cleaning cloth and the funnel neck pulls the funnel down into its operating position against the force of the spring. This movement opens, for example, a valve through which the wetting liquid then flows into the funnel via a line.
  • the fastening arm of the funnel can be designed as a rocker, the valve actuating element being arranged on the end of the rocker opposite the funnel.
  • the valve can also be arranged directly above the funnel, in which case the upper edge of the funnel itself closes the outlet opening of the valve.
  • a closure element adapted to the outlet opening of the valve can be arranged at a point on the upper edge of the funnel.
  • the storage tank for the wetting liquid is preferably arranged above the funnel, so that the wetting liquid flows into the funnel by gravity. This has the advantage that the dispenser requires no drive device and no power supply.
  • the funnel can be held in its rest position by a lock so that the valve does not open when the cleaning cloth is pulled out of the funnel. This makes it possible to remove the cleaning cloth dry.
  • the funnel is provided with a storage bowl into which a sufficient amount of the wetting liquid can be conducted for wetting a cleaning cloth.
  • the storage tray is preferably firmly connected to the funnel and the movement of the funnel from the rest position into the operating position is a tilting movement about a horizontal axis.
  • the bottom of the storage tray is inclined so that the wetting liquid is retained in the storage tray in the rest position while it is in the operating position flows from the storage bowl into the funnel.
  • the horizontal axis about which the funnel with the storage tray can be tilted is expediently located in the area of the storage tray so that the storage tray is essentially only tilted and does not perform any vertical movement.
  • the funnel on the other hand, is at a slightly greater distance from the tilt axis, so that it is moved vertically downwards when a cleaning cloth is removed.
  • a simple pump is provided, which is attached to the tank and is manually operated by means of a linkage or a cable and an operating button or handle on the front of the dispenser.
  • the dispenser has a housing 1 which is divided horizontally by an intermediate floor 2. Above the intermediate floor 2 there is a paper roll 3, which contains the supply of cleaning cloth 15. In addition, there is a tank 4 above the intermediate floor 2, which contains the supply of wetting liquid.
  • the space under the intermediate floor is divided by an intermediate wall 5 into a closed and an open area, with a valve 6 in the closed area, which lies below the tank 4, in the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 1 is located, which closes and opens a line 7, which leads from the tank 4 into a funnel 8, which is arranged in the open area below the paper roll 3.
  • the axis of rotation of a rocker 9 is located in the intermediate wall 2, one arm of which projects into the closed area and is coupled to the actuating element for the valve 6, while the other arm projects into the open area and the funnel 8 wearing.
  • a spring 10 is supported on a counter bearing attached to the intermediate wall 5 and presses the rocker arm with the funnel 8 upwards into the rest position of the funnel 8.
  • the funnel 8 there is an opening 11 in the intermediate floor 2 through which the cleaning cloth 15 is guided from the paper roll 3 through the funnel 8.
  • the cleaning cloth 15 is pulled down out of the funnel 8 by hand and removed from the paper roll 3 from the inside. Due to the friction between the paper web of the cleaning cloth 15 and the funnel 8, the latter is shifted somewhat downward against the force of the spring 10.
  • the diameter of the funnel neck, e.g. 2 cm, and the transverse dimension of the cleaning cloth 15 must be coordinated so that on the one hand a sufficiently large driving force is exerted on the funnel 8 and on the other hand the friction is not so great that the paper web breaks.
  • the valve 6 is opened by the downward movement of the funnel 8 via the actuating element fastened to the other end of the rocker 9, so that wetting liquid flows into the funnel 8 and wets and moistens the paper web.
  • the funnel 8 can be locked in its rest position by means of a lock 12, so that it is not moved downwards when the paper web is removed at the lower end of the funnel 8.
  • the cleaning cloth 15 then remains dry.
  • the funnel 8 is located long down in its operating position compared to the length of the paper web removed, so that the cleaning cloth 15 is very strongly moistened. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the degree of wetting of the cleaning cloth 15 is therefore dependent on whether the paper web is removed quickly or slowly.
  • the paper web can also be unrolled from the outer circumference, for which the paper roll is then placed on a rigid or rotatable stub axle.
  • the paper web Before entering the hopper 8, the paper web can be passed through a nip and the resulting roll movement can be used to drive a pump, e.g. a peristaltic pump. In this way, the throughput of the wetting liquid can be controlled so that it is approximately proportional to the length of the paper web removed. The wetting is largely constant.
  • the lock 12 can be designed as a pressure pin, which presses against the conical region of the funnel 8 and thereby blocks a downward displacement of the funnel 8.
  • the fastening arm of the funnel 8 need not be a double-armed rocker.
  • the valve 6 can be arranged at any point and in particular also on the same side of the intermediate wall 5 as the funnel 8.
  • a special embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the upper edge of the funnel 8 is designed such that it can be used to close the outlet opening of the valve 6 or that the upper edge of the funnel 8 acts directly on the valve actuating element.
  • the upper end of the funnel 8 is expanded to a storage bowl 13, so that the storage bowl 13 is formed in one piece with the funnel 8.
  • the unit consisting of the funnel 8 and the storage bowl 13 is mounted such that it can be tilted about a horizontal axis of rotation 14.
  • the axis of rotation 14 runs through the storage tray 13, so that bearing journals, not shown, protrude outward from the storage tray 13.
  • the funnel 8 with the storage bowl 13 is pressed upwards into the rest position. If a cleaning cloth 15 is removed from the lower end of the funnel 8, the driving force generated thereby causes the funnel 8 with the storage bowl 13 to be tilted a few degrees downward into the operating position against the restoring force of the spring 10.
  • the arrangement is such that the bottom of the storage tray 13 rises towards the funnel 8 in the rest position, so that the wetting liquid is retained in the storage tray 13.
  • the position of the storage tray 13 is changed so that its bottom now drops towards the funnel 8, so that the wetting liquid runs into the funnel 8.
  • the pump 16 can be a simple, manually operable piston pump which is actuated via a cable or a linkage by means of a pump actuation button 17 on the front of the dispenser. If the pump 16 is not actuated before a cleaning cloth 15 is removed, the cleaning cloth 15 is removed dry.
  • a downwardly tiltable cover hood 18 is provided below the funnel 8, which functions as a collecting vessel and drop protection.
  • the wetting agent can be a soap solution, isopropanol or any other cleaning agent.
  • the cleaning cloth 15 can, for example Web of hygienic paper or nonwoven.
