Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular for floors, with a soft, in particular fur-like, cover-holding, flat, in particular oblong-rectangular frame to which a handle is attached with a cardan joint.
  • Such a cleaning device is known from use.
  • the invention has for its object to facilitate the handling of this cleaning device.
  • a support for the handle which can be pivoted from a basic position on the frame or the handle into an oblique support position between the frame and the handle, is provided for this purpose.
  • the support is preferably articulated on the handle, folded upward on the handle in the basic position and supported against an abutment on the frame in the supporting position with the handle slightly inclined.
  • the attachment of the support and at the same time its joint on the handle as the primary moving part is more favorable than additionally burdening the frame moved via the cardan joint with the weight of the support.
  • the support could also be hooked onto the abutment and subjected to tension. The handle would then be inclined to the other side.
  • the support which is preferably designed as an approximately U-shaped bracket, can only be pivoted about an axis in its joint and is otherwise held rigidly. It can then be pivoted more easily and can also be operated with the tip of the foot if arranged appropriately.
  • the bearing in such a joint is also particularly advantageous in combination with an abutment on which the support is held in an elongated contact parallel to its pivot axis, for example at the angle of a folded sheet.
  • the support of the handle is thus angularly rigid by the support articulated on the handle, and the cleaning device can be set up with a free-standing handle independently of a wall or the like.
  • a support which can be pivoted and is otherwise rigidly mounted on the frame can also hold the handle angularly rigid if it grips only with a tip or the like in a pocket-shaped abutment, so that the abutment does not have any transverse movement with respect to the tip or the like .
  • An upturn of a sheet metal of the frame is preferably used as the abutment, on which, in a manner known per se, a sheet metal nose of a mechanism serving to insert the frame into the cover is engaged.
  • the support is articulated on the stem in a holder which is fastened with the same screw with which the stem is fastened in a known manner in a clamp sleeve connected to the universal joint.
  • This solution does not require any further precautions for attachment. It also allows the existing cleaning devices to be retrofitted with the support.
  • the holder will be arched to match the clamp sleeve on which it rests and will therefore have a secure hold even with the fastening by means of only one screw.
  • two such angled, parallel cheeks adjoin such a curved central section of the holder, on which the inwardly angled ends of the aforementioned U-shaped bracket are inserted as the joint in aligned bores.
  • the support attached to the handle is held in its basic position by a catch or, preferably, by a spring which is further tightened when pivoting into the support position.
  • the actuation of the support is then particularly simple: the support only needs to be depressed with the tip of the foot and inserted on the abutment by slightly tilting the handle.
  • An elongated-rectangular frame 1 consists in a known manner of two substantially U-shaped brackets 2 and 3 made of round bars, which are connected to one another in a joint 4 and are also held together in their normal position by a latching device 5.
  • a sheet 6 is attached to the bracket 2.
  • a clamp sleeve 8 for a handle 9 is fastened to this in a universal joint 7.
  • a screw 10 with a wing nut 11 clamps the handle 9 between the two sleeve halves.
  • a bracket 12 for a support 13 is fastened by means of the screw 10 and wing nut 11.
  • the holder 12 is located on the one half of the sleeve with a curved central section 14, to which two cheeks 15 adjoin.
  • the support 13 has the shape of a right-angled U-shaped bracket and is inserted with two inwardly angled ends 16 into bores in the cheeks 15.
  • a spring 18 arranged with turns on one end 16 engages the support 13 with one arm and is supported with its other end on the central section 14 of the holder 12 in a notch or the like, not shown. It could also be held there in a hook, an eyelet or the like.
  • the support 13 can be pivoted down against the force of the spring 18 and supported on the latching device 5 by slightly tilting the handle 9 in the direction of the arrow 22.
  • This support is shown in Fig. 2 in detail.
  • the straight web of the U-shaped bracket lies at the angle of an upstand 23 of the sheet 6, on which a sheet nose 24 is engaged as a further part of the locking device 5.
  • the bracket is not possible with this support twist without it, which is prevented by the supporting force, rises in the support by its one corner on the upstand 23 and its other corner slides back slightly on the sheet 6. Since a tilting of the handle in the transverse direction of the frame 1 would be associated with a rotation of the support due to the rigidity of the joint formed by the cheeks 15 and ends 16, the handle 9 held in the longitudinal direction of the frame 1 by the support 13 is thus also in Cross direction of the frame 1 held. In order to increase the holding force in the transverse direction, the bent sheet metal section could be angled a little further, beyond the vertical.
