Definitions

  • This invention relates to a wringer for a mop with turfts the mop being fastened on an elongated, plate shaped rigid holder which together with the mop is inserted in the wringer in order to squeeze liquid from the tufts of the mop, the wringer comprising three rolls two of which are coaxial and placed so that a gap is formed between them whereas the direction of the axis of the third roll is parallel with the direction of the axis of the coaxial rolls, that the axis of the rolls are movable with respect to each other making it possible to insert the holder with the mop between the rolls, that at least one of the rolls is under the influence of a spring which presses the roll against one of or the other rolls.
  • Mops for treating floors usually comprise a holder on which the mop is fixed.
  • the holder is via a universal joint applied to a shaft.
  • the holder with the mop is dipped into liquid, usually water with cleaning agents and is then mowed on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the mop In order to remove surplus water from the mop before it is placed on the floor or when dirty water has been taken up from the floor the mop usually is removed from the holder and is placed in a wringer squeezing the surplus water out of the mop.
  • conventional wringers have the disadvantage that manual steps have to be taken for the press operation which means that it is cumbersome, time demanding and unhygienic to remove and put back the mop on the holder and to handle it during the press operation.
  • Conventional wringers usually have spring loaded rolls between the mop with its tufts is fed by means of a crank or comprise parallel pressure plates between which the mop is squeezed by means of a handle.
  • Such holders comprise two halves which are linked to each other via a hinge by means of which the holder can be folded together so that the mop which is fastened at the two short ends of the holder has its turfts hanging down from the holder.
  • the mop is placed in a wringer.
  • the wringer is manually operated and moreover the holder has the drawback that it is difficult to maintain the flat shape when being used because of the play which is present between the two halves of the holder.
  • wringers for rigid elongated holders are also known.
  • the holder with the mop is placed in a box having drainage openings at the bottom.
  • a plate is by means of a pedal pressed against the upper side of the holder so that the water in the mop is removed and flows out from the box through the drainage openings.
  • the drawback with this arrangement is that the press force available is too small to create a sufficently large pressure on the large pressplate which means that only a small quantity of water is removed.
  • the purpose of this invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above that is to create a wringer which in an efficient way and automatically, i.e. without any manual measurement being taken, removes water from practically all the turfts of a mop which is fastened on a plate shaped, rigid holder and without removing the mop from the holder.
  • the wringer is a userfriendly device which contributes to improve the ergonomic enviroment for the cleaning staff.
  • Fig. 1 in a perspective view and in an inactive position shows a mop wringer according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a side view which shows the most important parts when the mop wringer has been activated
  • Fig. 3 is a partly broken plan view of the arrangement shown in Fig. 2.
  • the mop wringer comprises a press housing which is fastened on two vertical brackets 10.
  • Each bracket has two slot shaped recesses 11 making it possible to put the wringer on two horizontal rods on a conventional cleaning cart not shown.
  • the cart is as usual also equipped with a bucket for water and cleaning agents a part of the bucket being placed just below the wringer so that the liquid which flows out from the wringer flows to the bucket. It is of course also possible to use other types of means for fastening the wringer to a cart being used.
  • the press housing supports a lower horizontal roll 12 which preferably has on outer frictional layer for instance of rubber or polyurethane and two upper rolls 13 having coaxial shafts 14, the axis of the upper rolls being parallel with the shaft 15 of the lower roll. Between the two upper rolls 13 there is a gap the purpose of which will appear from the following.
  • the press housing also comprises two halves 16, 17 each being covered by a casing hiding a driving means. The halves 16 and 17 resp. are connected to each other by means of a slanting outflow plate 18. Above the outflow plate 18 there is a feeding table 19 and on each side of this table there are feeding means 20.
  • the feeding table 19 has a central opening from which an arm 21 extends upwards and acts on a first micro switch 22.
  • One half 16 of the cover of the press housing surrounds an electric motor 23 (see Fig. 2 and 3) which is supplied with current from an accumulator placed in a box 24 which also contains a battery charger.
  • the box is placed on the cleaning cart and is connected to the wringer via a cable 25. It is possible to remove the box from the cleaning cart and connect it to a conventional socket for charging.
  • the press mechanism which is hidden by the casings in Fig. 1 comprises at each side a tilting lever 26 one end of which is turnably fastened to a bracket 27 on resp. half of the press housing.
  • the other end of the tilting lever supports the shaft 14 with the upper roll 13.
  • each lever arm has a flange 28 with a hole through which a bolt 29 extends.
  • the bolt 29 also extends through a flange 30 arranged at each half of the press housing and is surrounded by a compression spring 31 which is clamped between the flange 28 and the head 32 of the bolt 29 so that the upper roll 13 is urged towards the lower roll 12.
  • the tilting lever 26 via an operating arm 33 acts on a second micro switch 34.
  • the shaft 15 of the lower roll 12 is rotatably supported at each half of the press housing and is driven by means of an electric motor 23 via a transmission 35.
  • the feeding means 20 arranged at both sides of the feeding table 19 are L-shaped and have a leg 36 which is placed just below the feeding table and parallel with it whereas a second leg 37 is perpendicular to the feeding table.
  • the legs 37 of the feeding means 20 are so shaped that they converge in the direction towards the rolls.
  • One end of the legs 36 are fastened at the feeding table at its outer parts and can be turned about an axis 38 extending perpendicular to the feeding table.
  • the other end of the legs 36 has an opening 39 each taking up an end of a tension spring 40 which, when the wringer is not used, presses the leg 37 of the feeding means against the edges of the feeding table 19.
  • the micro switch 22 is so arranged that when the arm 21 is depressed then a first current supply circuit to the electric motor 23 is activated.
  • the micro switch 34 is so arranged that when its operating arm 33 is depressed then a second current sypply circuit to the electric motor is deactivated whereas when the operating arm 33 is in its outer position the motor is activated.
  • the device operates in the following way.
  • the wringer is normally placed on a cleaning cart on which also a bucket with cleaning agents is placed.
  • the wringer is via the cabel 25 connected to the box 24 with the accumulator and the box is also placed on the cleaning cart.
  • a mop holder 41 comprising a rigid elongated body, for instance of plastic and which is pivotally connected to a shaft 43 and has a mop 42 with turfts, is dipped into the bucket with the cleaning liquid.
  • the holder with the mop is then placed with its bottom side on the feeding table 19 and with one of its short ends directed towards the rolls 12,13 which means that the arm 21 for the micro switch 22 is depressed and current is supplied to the electric motor 23 so that the roll 12 rotates. Then the holder is pressed against the feeding table and moved towards the rolls 12, 13 by the user which means that the legs 37 of the feeding means when being touched by the side edges of the holder are moved outwards at the same time as the turfts of the mop are pushed in below the holder.
  • the box 24 with the accumulator is taken away from the cleaning cart and is connected to a socket whereby the accumulator is again loaded by means of the charger in the box so that the accumulator after a while is ready to be used again.
  • cleaning carts which are provided with two buckets for the liquid one bucket for instance being used for clean water whereas the second bucket is used for dirty water.
