Abstract

The device for cleaning ashtrays, which is shown in the drawing, has a free-standing housing (1) with the electric motor located in the top part (1a), together with dust filter (2) and also the infrared switch (6). The waste is conveyed into the container through the suction pipe (2). It is possible to introduce larger items of waste through the service flap (5). The service flap can be designed as a tilting or sliding device. The round brush (4) capable of being fitted onto the suction pipe can be designed to be fixed or rotating. The round brush can be caused to rotate by an electric motor or by the air intake flow of the suction cleaner. The suction cleaning apparatus is switched on by means of the infrared switch (6) located on the top part (1a). <IMAGE>

Description

In Gaststätten ist es üblich, gefüllte Aschenbecher in einen Ascheeimer zu entleeren und dann mit einem Pinsel zu säubern, danach mit einem Tuch auszuwischen.In restaurants, it is common to empty filled ashtrays into an ash bucket and then clean them with a brush, then wipe them with a cloth.

Das Reinigen der Aschenbecher ist eine äußerst unhygienische und zeitaufwendige Arbeit, da bei dem Reinigen mit dem Pinsel viel Aschestaub aufgewirbelt wird, und in den Luftraum gelangt.Cleaning the ashtray is extremely unsanitary and time-consuming work, since cleaning with the brush swirls up a lot of ash dust and gets into the air space.

Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe bestand darin, ein Arbeitsgerät für die Gastronomie zu schaffen mit deren Hilfe die Aschenbecher schnell und hygienish gereinigt werden können, ohne daß Staub- und Schmutzteile in den Gastraum gelangen können.The object underlying the invention was to create a tool for the catering trade with the aid of which the ashtrays can be cleaned quickly and hygienically without dust and dirt particles being able to get into the dining area.

Das Aschenbecher-Absauggerät basiert weitgehend auf der Grundlage eines herkömmlichen Industriestaubsaugers, mit dem herausragenden Merkmal, daß man bei diesem Gerät nur den Aschenbecher samt Abfallprodukt zwischen Absaugrohr und Infrarotschalter zu halten braucht, und der Abfall abgesaugt wird.The ashtray suction device is largely based on a conventional industrial vacuum cleaner, with the outstanding feature that you only have to hold the ashtray together with the waste product between the suction pipe and infrared switch, and the waste is suctioned off.

Um das Reinigungsergebnis zu optimieren, kann auf das Ansaugrohr eine Rundbürste die sich in einem trichterförmigen Kunststofformteil befindet aufgesteckt werden. Die Rundbürste kann auch mit einem Elektromotor oder dem Luftansaugstrom des Saugmotors zur Rotation gebracht werden.In order to optimize the cleaning result, a round brush, which is located in a funnel-shaped molded plastic part, can be attached to the suction pipe. The round brush can also be made to rotate with an electric motor or the air intake flow of the suction motor.

Um eine optimale Ausnutzung des Gerätes zu gewährleisten, ist an der Seite eine Serviceklappe mit Rückholfeder angebracht, durch welche sperrige Abfälle wie Zigarettenschachtel oder Bierdeckel in das Innere des Behälters eingebracht werden können. Das Abfallprodukt gelangt im Innern des Geräts in einem Abfallbehälter aus Metall. Zusätzlich können schwer entflammbare Papierbeutel wie sie hinlänglich bei Staubsaugern bekannt sind verwendet werden.In order to ensure optimal use of the device, a service flap with return spring is attached to the side, through which bulky waste such as a cigarette box or beer mat can be introduced into the interior of the container. The waste product goes inside a metal waste container. In addition, flame-retardant paper bags, as are well known in vacuum cleaners, can be used.

In dem abnehmbaren Oberteil in welchem der elektrische Absaugmotor samt Staubfilter sowie Infrarotschalter angeordnet ist, können zusätzlich eine Abfallbehälterfüllstandsanzeige sowie evtl. ein Rauchmelder, welcher in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist, angeordnet werden.In the removable upper part in which the electric suction motor including dust filter and infrared switch is arranged, a waste container level indicator and possibly a smoke detector, which is not shown in the drawing, can also be arranged.

Im folgenden wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel für das Absauggerät näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the suction device is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Gerät zur Reinigung von Aschenbechern, weist ein freistehendes Gehäuse (1) auf, mit dem sich im Oberteil (!a) befindlichen Elektromotor samt Staubfilter (2), sowie dem Infrarotschalter (6). Durch das Saugrohr (3) wird der Abfall in den Behälter befördert. Durch die Serviceklappe (5) können größere Abfälle eingebracht werden. Die Serviceklappe kann in Kipp- oder Schiebevorrichtung ausgeführt werden. Die auf das Saugrohr aufsteckbare Rundbürste (4) kann feststehend oder rotierend ausgeführt sein. Die Rundbürste kann durch einen Elektromotor oder durch die Luftansaugströmung des Saugzur Rotation gebracht werden.
Die Absaugvorrichtung wird mittels Infrarotschalter (6) welcher sich am Oberteil (1a) befindet eingeschaltet.The device for cleaning ashtrays shown in the drawing has a free-standing housing (1) with the electric motor and dust filter (2) located in the upper part (! A), as well as the infrared switch (6). The waste is conveyed into the container through the suction pipe (3). Larger waste can be brought in through the service flap (5). The service flap can be tilted or pushed. The round brush (4) which can be plugged onto the suction pipe can be designed to be stationary or rotating. The round brush can be made to rotate by an electric motor or by the suction air flow.
The suction device is switched on by means of an infrared switch (6) which is located on the upper part (1a).
