Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surface mopping device in which a compressible wiping body made of an absorbent material is attached to a handle, the wiping body being assigned an expulsion means, since it can be actuated by a linkage attached to the handle.
  • Such a surface mopping device is known from DE-GM 88 00 887.
  • a wiper body fixed to a holder is guided by two rollers upon actuation of a linkage, which cause the wiper body to be compressed and thus pressed out.
  • the previously known surface mopping device has a large number of individual parts and that the use properties are unsatisfactory on the one hand due to the comparatively high weight and the uneven expression of the mopping body. The service life is greatly reduced by large mechanical loads on the wiping body and the resulting wear.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a surface mopping device of the type mentioned in such a way that, with a simple, low-parts and robust construction, good usage properties are guaranteed over a long period of use, in particular rapid wetting and pressing out of the wiping body.
  • the wiper body is fixed on a curved adhesive surface enclosing an axis and that the pressing-out means consists of a pressing roller that can be pivoted about the axis.
  • the pressing-out means consists of a pressing roller that can be pivoted about the axis.
  • the pressing means which in the present case is formed by a pressing roller, can be moved about the axis, which is also enclosed by the curved holding surface, and therefore expresses the entire surface of the wiping body facing the surface to be wiped, if necessary. Furthermore, the pressure roller, due to the exclusively rolling movement on the surface of the wiping body, results in a pressing process that is gentle on the material, which is important in view of a long service life.
  • the distance between the axis and the press roller can be changeable.
  • the advantage here is that, given the thickness of the wiper body, the contact pressure of the pressing roller on it can be changed, or that, depending on the particular circumstances of the application, wiper bodies of different thicknesses can be used in one and the same surface wiper.
  • the wiper body can be formed by a foam body.
  • different types of wiper body materials can be attached to the handle of the device and pressed out by the swiveling pressing roller.
  • the material of the foam body used can correspond to the usual materials used for this purpose.
  • the adhesive surface can enclose the axis at the same distance or at a distance that increases increasingly in the direction of movement of the press-out roller.
  • the adhesive surface can be designed accordingly. If the adhesive surface surrounds the axis at the same distance, the wiper body is pressed out almost uniformly when the ejection roller is actuated. The entire surface of the wiper body then has a uniformly wetted surface with essentially the same liquid content. If, for example, different areas of wiping body wetted are required in other applications, it has proven to be expedient for the adhesive surface to enclose the axis at a distance that increases increasingly in the direction of movement of the pressing roller.
  • the pressure roller pivots over the surface of the wiping body with increasing contact pressure in the direction of movement and expresses it more with increasing pivoting movement.
  • This configuration can be particularly advantageous if the soiling of the surfaces to be wiped is different, so that different amounts of water are required for cleaning, or it is advisable for the surfaces to be cleaned to clean the surfaces immediately after a relatively damp cleaning wipe it off with a largely dry mop. In this case, it is only necessary to use the more expressed surface areas for wiping.
  • Drainage openings can penetrate the adhesive surface for faster removal of the displaced liquid.
  • the displaced liquid is drained off, on the one hand, via the surface of the wiping body facing the squeezing roller and, on the other hand, through the drainage openings in the adhesive surface.
  • the adhesive surface can form a boundary surface of a holding part which is releasably attached to a holder connected to the handle.
  • the holding part can be replaced particularly easily without having to replace the handle and the linkage required for the actuation.
  • the detachable fixing of the holder on the handle of the device is of particular advantage in economic terms and in view of lower environmental pollution.
  • the holding part and the holder are snap-fit together. It is therefore particularly quick and easy to replace a used wiper body.
  • the holder and the handle are pivotally connected to one another by a joint. Areas difficult to access, such as niches or areas to be wiped under furniture that is difficult to move, such as cupboards, can be easily cleaned due to the joint between the holder and the handle.
  • the joint can be locked in at least two different pivot positions.
  • the wiper body can extend, for example, transversely to the handle of the surface wiper and can be locked in this position.
  • the wiper body can extend substantially parallel to the handle and can also be locked in this position.
  • the squeezing roller can be mounted in a pivoting support that can be pivoted about the axis and actuated by the linkage. This results in a high level of operational safety and good usage properties.
  • the squeezing roller has a surface which is penetrated by drainage openings.
  • the drainage openings are separated from one another, for example, by ribs extending in the circumferential direction of the ejection roller.
  • the production of pressure rollers configured in this way is particularly simple if, for example, annular disks with the same inner diameter but different outer diameters are alternately threaded onto the axis.
  • this can also be formed in one part, for example.
  • the drainage opening causes the wiper body to be squeezed out effectively and the liquid to be drained off quickly.
  • the ends of the squeezing roller can be mounted in the swivel carrier.
  • the squeezing roller can be mounted between the ends at at least one further point in the swivel carrier.
  • the squeezing roller can have a radius that is 0.3 to 0.6 times as large as the largest radius of the adhesive surface. Due to the comparatively smaller diameter of the squeezing roller, in contrast to the adhesive surface, the surface of the wiping body used is kept flexible over a long period of use when it is actuated. The good flexing work of the squeezing roller reliably prevents partial hardening of the surface of the wiping body and caking, as a result of which good elasticity and excellent usage properties are retained even over a long period of use.
  • An embodiment of the surface mopping device according to the invention is further illustrated below with reference to the drawings attached as an attachment. The figures show a schematic representation of the claimed device.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the surface mopping device according to the invention in a perspective view and different views.
  • the holding part is shown with a wiper body fixed to the adhesive surface.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show an exemplary embodiment of the surface mopping device according to the invention. It comprises a handle 1, preferably made of plastic, which is connected at its axial lower end to a joint 8. On the side of the joint 8 facing away from the handle 1, a holder 7 is arranged, into which a holding part 11 can be snapped.
  • the holding part 11 is provided on the opposite side in the holder 7 with an adhesive surface 6 on which a compressible wiper body 2 made of an absorbent material is fastened.
  • the snap-in fastening of the holding part 11 on the holder 7 has the advantage that when the wiper body is used up, it can be quickly replaced without any problems.
  • the wiper body 2 in the present example has an essentially semicircular cross section and is fixed on the side facing the axis 5 to a curved adhesive surface 6 of the holding part 11.
  • a pushing-out means 3 is provided in the form of a pushing-out roller 3.1, which is rotatably mounted about its own axis in a swivel carrier 10.
  • the swivel bracket 10 is essentially U-shaped and rotatably mounted about the axis 5 in the region of its two projections.
  • the pivoting support 10 is connected to the linkage 4, the linkage 4 and the pivoting support 10 being actuatable by a sleeve enclosing the handle 1.
  • the squeezing roller 3.1 can as shown in this exemplary embodiment, in its starting position it does not engage the wiper body 2.
  • the squeezing roller 3.1 always acts on the wiper body 2. It is advantageous here that the shear forces on the holding surface 6 of the holding part 11 are reduced when the ejection roller 3.1 is actuated. The mechanical load on the wiper body 2 is also reduced, which ensures a comparatively longer service life.
  • the adhesive surface 6 of the holding part 11 encloses the axis 5 at the same distance, so that with the same thickness of the wiping body 2, a uniform pressing of the same is ensured when the pressing roller is pivoted.
  • the distance between the axis 5 and the axis of rotation of the pressing roller 3.1 can be changeable. This is particularly easy to achieve with an eccentric.
  • the holder 7 is pivotally attached to the handle 1 by the joint 8.
  • the squeezing roller 3.1 and the adhesive surface 6 are pierced by drainage openings.
  • polypropylene is predominantly used as the material for the production, wherein the mechanically more highly stressed components may additionally contain reinforcing fibers.
  • a material in question consists for example of 70% polypropylene with a 30% fiberglass content.
  • plastics when using plastics, excellent functional reliability is guaranteed throughout the entire service life. Corrosion cannot affect them.
  • FIG. 3 shows the holding part 11, which cannot be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, and which consists of polystyrene and comprises an adhesive surface 6 for the wiping body 2 on part of its outer peripheral surface.
  • the snap connection between the holding part 11 and the holder 7 is formed by the recess in the holder 7 which can be seen in FIG. 2 and the nose of the holding part 11 which can be snapped into this recess.
