Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Reinigungseinrichtung, insbesondere zur Bespannung eines Spannrahmens gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Eine derartige Reinigungseinrichtung ist beispielsweise bereits bekannt aus der DE 31 39 245 C2, und findet als Feucht- und Trockenmop Verwendung.The present invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular for covering a tenter frame according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a cleaning device is already known for example from DE 31 39 245 C2, and is used as a wet and dry mop.

Die bekannte Reinigungseinrichtung ermöglicht zwar das Hochbiegen des Grundstoffs bei Anlage der Reinigungseinrichtung an einer Fußleiste oder dgl. In dieser Situation werden jedoch der unmittelbar an die Fußleiste grenzende Teil des Fußbodens sowie eventuell vorhandene Fugen nur ungenügend gereinigt, da der hochgestellte Grundstoff sich nicht exakt in 90° hochstellt und den zwischen Fußleiste und Fußboden gebildeten Totraum nicht erreicht.The known cleaning device allows the base material to be bent up when the cleaning device is placed against a baseboard or the like. In this situation, however, the part of the floor directly adjacent to the baseboard and any joints that may be present are only insufficiently cleaned, since the superscript base material is not exactly 90 ° superscript and does not reach the dead space formed between the baseboard and floor.

Ferner ist aus der DE-GM 89 01 061 bereits ein ähnlicher Mop bekannt, bei dem Randwulste ausgebildet sind. Aus der nachveröffentlichten DE-GM 93 09 489 ist ferner ein Wischbezug bekannt, bei dem ein Aufsatzstück mit dem Grundstoff und einer zusätzlich vorgesehenen Tragschicht verbunden ist. Schließlich ist aus der US-PS 29 19 457 ein Staubmop bekannt, bei dem durch Umlegen des Grundstoffes im Randbereich Fluidspeicherzonen gebildet sind.Furthermore, a similar mop is already known from DE-GM 89 01 061, in which edge beads are formed. From the post-published DE-GM 93 09 489 a mop cover is also known, in which an attachment piece is connected to the base material and an additionally provided base layer. Finally, a dust mop is known from US-PS 29 19 457, in which fluid storage zones are formed by folding the base material in the edge region.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Angabe einer Reinigungseinrichtung, die eine besonders wirksame Reinigung von Böden auch im Bereich von Hindernissen, beispielsweise Fußleisten und dgl., ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device which enables particularly effective cleaning of floors even in the area of obstacles, for example baseboards and the like.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Reinigungseinrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by a cleaning device according to claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungseinrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß durch die Aufstellung und Wölbung des Grundstoffs im Randbereich Florfäden in ausreichender Höhe auch in Richtung auf ein seitlich auftretendes Hindernis gerichtet sind. Derartige Florfäden können beispielsweise bei Anlage an eine Fußleiste sowohl eine zwischen Fußleiste und Fußboden befindliche Fuge als auch die Fußleiste selbst auf ihrer gesamten Höhe reinigen. Auch wenn sich der Grundstoff bei Anlage an der Fußleiste insgesamt hochstellt, können die im Randbereich abstehenden Florfäden noch eine gute Reinigungswirkung entfalten. Die Reinigungswirkung ist insbesondere ausgeprägt bei strukturierten Fußleisten, die nur durch senkrecht eindringende Florfäden wirksam gereinigt werden können. Auch Ecken können besser als bislang gereinigt werden. Das befestigte Besatzstück erhöht die Stabilität der Reinigungseinrichtung und verhindert insbesondere ein Durchhängen bzw. "Ausleiern" des Grundstoffs im nassen Zustand. Grundstoff und Besatzstück sind längs der Befestigungslinien miteinander verbunden, auch wenn die Befestigungslinien keine durchgehenden Nähte sind.The cleaning device according to the invention is characterized in that due to the erection and curvature of the base material in the edge area, pile threads are also directed at a sufficient height in the direction of an obstacle that occurs laterally. Such pile threads can, for example when cleaning against a baseboard, clean both a joint located between the baseboard and floor and the baseboard itself over its entire height. Even if the base material is raised overall when it is placed against the baseboard, the pile threads protruding in the edge area can still have a good cleaning effect. The cleaning effect is particularly pronounced in the case of structured baseboards that can only be effectively cleaned by vertically penetrating pile threads. Corners can also be cleaned better than before. The attached trimming piece increases the stability of the cleaning device and in particular prevents the base material from sagging or "wearing out" when wet. Base material and trim are connected to each other along the fastening lines, even if the fastening lines are no continuous seams.

Es ist bevorzugt, daß das Besatzstück auf der den Florfäden abgewandten Fläche des Grundstoffs aufgenäht ist. Auf diese Weise können Florfäden auf der Seite des Besatzstücks entfallen und die auf der anderen Seite angebrachten Florfäden sich entsprechend der aufwärtsgerichteten Wölbung des Grundstoffs im Randbereich parallel zur Reinigungsfläche abstehend vom Spannrahmen ausrichten.It is preferred that the trim piece is sewn onto the surface of the base material facing away from the pile threads. In this way, pile threads on the side of the facing piece can be omitted and the pile threads attached on the other side align themselves in a manner corresponding to the upward curvature of the base material in the edge region, parallel to the cleaning surface, projecting from the stenter.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, daß das Besatzstück mit zwei beabstandeten Befestigungsnähten auf dem Grundstoff aufgenäht bzw. durchgesteppt ist, wobei eine Befestigungsnaht an der Randkante verläuft. Diese Art der Befestigung läßt sich einfach und bequem mit einer herkömmlichen Nähmaschine durchführen und erfordert lediglich zwei beabstandete Befestigungsnähte auf der gesamten Länge jedes der vier Randbereiche des Grundstoffs.It is further preferred that the trim piece is sewn or stitched through on the base material with two spaced fastening seams, a fastening seam running at the edge. This type of fastening can be carried out easily and conveniently with a conventional sewing machine and only requires two spaced fastening seams along the entire length of each of the four edge regions of the base material.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, daß das Besatzstück und der Grundstoff an ihren Rändern geendelt bzw. eingefaßt verbunden sind. Eine derartige Befestigung im Randbereich schafft einen verstärkten Verbund zwischen Besatzstück und Grundstoff, so daß ein abgerundeter gemeinsamer Randbereich geschaffen wird, der besondere Festigkeit und Steifigkeit aufweist.It is further preferred that the trim piece and the base material are connected at their edges in a rounded manner. Such attachment in the edge area creates a reinforced bond between the trim piece and base material, so that a rounded common edge area is created which has particular strength and rigidity.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, daß das aufgenähte Besatzstück im Querschnitt gekrümmt ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist das Besatzstück biegsam bzw. flexibel und ermöglicht eine Aufwärtswölbung des Grundstoffs. Hierbei ist der Rand des Grundstoffs im Querschnitt nach außen gewölbt, da er eine größere Bahnbreite als das entsprechende Besatzstück aufweist.It is further preferred that the sewn-on patch is curved in cross section. In this embodiment, the trim piece is flexible or flexible and allows the base material to curve upwards. Here, the edge of the base material is curved outwards in cross section, since it has a greater web width than the corresponding trim piece.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, daß zwischen Grundstoff und Besatzstück ein länglicher Hohlraum gebildet ist, der als Fluidspeicher dient. Der Fluidspeicher kann bei Aufnahme von Wasser als Wasserspeicher und andernfalls als Luttpolster dienen. Der Wasserspeicher ermöglicht eine ausreichende Nässung der Florfäden im Randbereich und damit eine wirksame Reinigung entsprechender Flächen eines seitlichen Hindernisses. Aufgrund des vorhandenen Luftpolsters paßt sich die Reinigungseinrichtung ggf. vorhandenen Unebenheiten oder Strukturierungen des Bodens oder eines seitlichen Hindernisses besser an, da ein besonders ausgeprägte Flexibilität des Grundstoffs im Bereich des Luftpolsters vorhanden ist. Auch Fugen werden aufgrund des Luftpolsters besser mitgereinigt. Der Wasserspeicher ermöglicht eine größere Wasseraufnahme in diesem Randbereich des Grundstoffs.It is further preferred that an elongated cavity is formed between the base material and the trim piece, which serves as a fluid reservoir. The fluid reservoir can serve as a water reservoir when absorbing water and otherwise as a lump cushion. The water reservoir enables adequate wetting the pile threads in the edge area and thus an effective cleaning of corresponding surfaces of a lateral obstacle. Due to the existing air cushion, the cleaning device adapts to any existing unevenness or structure of the floor or a side obstacle, since there is a particularly pronounced flexibility of the base material in the area of the air cushion. Joints are also better cleaned due to the air cushion. The water reservoir enables greater water absorption in this edge area of the base material.

Das Besatzstück weist in einer alternativen Ausführungsform eine relativ große Steifigkeit auf, so daß das aufgenähte Besatzstück im wesentlichen flach angeordnet ist. Das relativ steife Besatzstück ist nur wenig gekrümmt und bleibt im wesentlichen in der Ebene des Grundstoffs angeordnet. Die überstehende Bahnbreite des Grundstoffs legt sich um, so daß ein nach außen über das Besatzstück vorstehender Bereich des Grundstoffs gebildet ist. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, wenn eine besonders flache Reinigungseinrichtung bevorzugt ist.In an alternative embodiment, the trim piece has a relatively high rigidity, so that the sewn-on trim piece is arranged essentially flat. The relatively stiff trim piece is only slightly curved and remains essentially in the plane of the base material. The protruding web width of the base material folds over so that an area of the base material protruding outward beyond the trim piece is formed. This embodiment is advantageous if a particularly flat cleaning device is preferred.

Das Besatzstück ist aus Leinen, Baumwolle, Polyester oder einem Elastomer gebildet, je nach dem welche Steifigkeit zu erzielen ist. Bei Verwendung eines formstabilen Materials, beispielsweise Polyester oder Leinen, kann auch eine Dehnung des Grundstoffs im genäßten Zustand wirksam vermieden werden, so daß der Grundstoff auch nach längerem Gebrauch nicht durchhängt.The trim piece is made of linen, cotton, polyester or an elastomer, depending on which stiffness can be achieved. When using a dimensionally stable material, for example polyester or linen, stretching of the base material in the wet state can also be effectively avoided, so that the base material does not sag even after prolonged use.

Die Befestigungseinrichtung ist bevorzugt durch zwei gegenüberliegende randseitig aufgenähte Aufsatzstücke gebildet, die zusammen mit dem Grundstoff Taschen zur Einführung von Spannelementen des Spannrahmens bilden. Die Aufsatzstücke sind randseitig auf die Besatzstücke aufgenäht, so daß eine an drei Kanten geschlossenen Tasche gebildet ist.The fastening device is preferably formed by two opposite attachment pieces sewn on the edge, which together with the base material form pockets for the introduction of tensioning elements of the tensioning frame. The top pieces are sewn on the edges of the trimmings, so that a pocket closed on three edges is formed.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist bevorzugt, daß das Besatzstück randseitig auf der Florfädenseite des Grundstoffs befestigt ist. Bei dieser Ausführung ist der Grundstoff im Bereich des Randes nach innen umgelegt, so daß die mit Florfäden besetzte Seite des Grundstoffs zur Anlage an dem Besatzstück kommt und randseitig dort befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise strecken sich die Florfäden ebenfalls über die Rundung im Randbereich hinaus und weiter nach oben als bei der zuvor genannten Ausführungsform. Ferner ist eine flachere Ausbildung der Reinigungseinrichtung möglich.In a further embodiment, it is preferred that the trim piece is attached on the edge side to the pile thread side of the base material. In this version is the base material is folded inwards in the region of the edge, so that the side of the base material covered with pile threads comes to rest on the trim piece and is fastened there on the edge side. In this way, the pile threads also extend beyond the curve in the edge region and further upward than in the previously mentioned embodiment. A flatter design of the cleaning device is also possible.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist in dem Hohlraum bevorzugt ein wasserspeicherndes oder formstabiles Material aufgenommen. Das wasserspeichernde Material gibt Wasser zur Reinigung auf Druck frei, so daß große Flächen von Gebäuden oder Hallen bequem gereinigt werden können. Zu diesem Zweck wird nach Verbrauch des gegenwärtig vorhandenen Wassers seitlich Druck auf den Hohlraum ausgeübt, was zu einer Freisetzung von in dem Material gespeicherten Wasser führt. Das Material kann den Hohlraum lediglich auskleiden oder bevorzugt den Hohlraum im wesentlichen voll ausfüllen, so daß ausreichend Wasser in dem Hohlraum aufgenommen werden kann. Als wasserspeicherndes Material kommt Fließstoff, Kordel oder Schwamm in Frage.In a further embodiment, a water-storing or dimensionally stable material is preferably accommodated in the cavity. The water-storing material releases water for cleaning under pressure, so that large areas of buildings or halls can be easily cleaned. For this purpose, pressure is exerted laterally on the cavity after consumption of the water currently present, which leads to a release of water stored in the material. The material can only line the cavity or preferably essentially fill the cavity substantially so that sufficient water can be taken up in the cavity. As a water-storing material, non-woven material, cord or sponge can be used.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung beschrieben.The present invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch einen Randbereich der Reinigungseinrichtung in vergrößertem Maßstab.Fig. 1 shows a cross section through an edge region of the cleaning device on an enlarged scale.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch die gesamte Reinigungseinrichtung.Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the entire cleaning device.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf die Reinigungseinrichtung.3 shows a top view of the cleaning device.

Die in den Figuren gezeigte Reinigungseinrichtung besteht aus einem etwa rechteckigen gewebten bzw. gewirkten Grundstoff 2, wie er in Fig. 3 zu sehen ist. Auf diesem Grundstoff ist im Randbereich ein ebenfalls rechteckiges im wesentlichen längliches Besatzstück 4 aus Leinen bzw. Polyester derart aufgenäht, daß es längs einer Befestigungsnaht 8 mit dem Grundstoff verbunden ist und an seiner anderen Kante mit einer Randkante 6 des Grundstoffs 2 verbunden ist.The cleaning device shown in the figures consists of an approximately rectangular woven or knitted base fabric 2, as can be seen in FIG. 3. On this base material there is also a rectangular one in the edge area essentially elongated patch 4 made of linen or polyester sewn on in such a way that it is connected to the base material along a fastening seam 8 and is connected at its other edge to an edge 6 of the base material 2.

Die Bahnbreite des Grundstoffs zwischen Befestigungsnaht 8 und Randkante 6 ist größer ald die entsprechende Bahnbreite des Besatzstücks 4, so daß sich der Grundstoff 2 zwischen Befestigungsnaht 8 und Randkante 6 wölbt bzw. umlegt, wie es in Fig. 1 deutlich zu sehen ist. Je nach Steifigkeit des Besatzstücks 4 wölbt sich der Grundstoff 2 nach oben oder bleibt bei entsprechender stark umgelegter bzw. gefalteter Ausgestaltung im wesentlichen flach angeordnet.The web width of the base material between the fastening seam 8 and the edge edge 6 is larger than the corresponding web width of the trim piece 4, so that the base material 2 bulges or folds between the fastening seam 8 and the edge edge 6, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 1. Depending on the stiffness of the trim piece 4, the base material 2 bulges upwards or, in the case of a correspondingly strongly folded or folded configuration, remains arranged essentially flat.

Zwischen Grundstoff 2 und Besatzstück 4 ist durch die Wölbung ein Hohlraum 14 gebildet, der als Fluidspeicher dient. Der Hohlraum 14 kann sowohl Luft aufnehmen und als Luftpolster dienen, als auch durch Aufnahme von Wasser einen Wasserspeicher bilden. Das Luftpolster kann eine geeignete Verformung des Grundstoffs im Randbereich ermöglichen, der Wasserspeicher eine ausreichende Flüssigkeitstränkung der Florfäden sicherstellen.Between the base material 2 and the trim piece 4, a cavity 14 is formed by the curvature, which serves as a fluid reservoir. The cavity 14 can both take up air and serve as an air cushion, as well as form a water reservoir by taking up water. The air cushion can allow a suitable deformation of the base material in the edge area, the water reservoir can ensure a sufficient liquid impregnation of the pile threads.

In der dargestellten Auführungsform sind die Randbereiche von Grundstoff 2 und Besatzstück 4 im Randbereich der Randkante 6 des Grundstoffs eingefaßt bzw. geendelt, so daß ein abgerundeter Verbund gebildet ist. Im gegenüberliegenden Endbereich des Besatzstücks 4 ist eine in Längsrichtung erstreckte Befestigungsnaht 8 gebildet, die Grundstoff 2 und Besatzstück 4 verbindet.In the embodiment shown, the edge areas of base material 2 and trim piece 4 are bordered or finished in the edge area of the edge 6 of the base material, so that a rounded composite is formed. In the opposite end region of the trim piece 4, a longitudinally extending fastening seam 8 is formed, which connects the base material 2 and trim piece 4.

Zur Bildung einer Befestigungseinrichtung 12 zur Einführung eines die Reinigungseinrichtung haltenden Spannrahmens sind beidseitig in gegenüberliegenden Endbereichen des Grundstoffs zwei Aufsatzstücke 12, 12' randseitig auf die Besatzstücke 4 aufgenäht, so daß sich eine dreiseitig abgeschlossene Tasche jeweils an beiden Enden bildet.To form a fastening device 12 for introducing a clamping frame holding the cleaning device, two attachment pieces 12, 12 'are sewn onto the trim pieces 4 on both sides in opposite end regions of the base material, so that a three-sided pocket is formed at both ends.

Die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungseinrichtung wird dadurch hergestellt, daß zunächst Randbereiche von Besatzstück 4 und Grundstoff 2 durch Endeln bzw. Einfassen verbunden werden. Sodann wird durch Zug des Besatzstücks 4 nach innen der Grundstoff 2 im Randbereich hochgestellt und leicht umgelegt. Das derart zurückgezogene Besatzstück wird nun auf dem Grundstoff 2 mit einer durchgesteppten Naht befestigt. Dieses Verfahren wird an allen vier Randkanten des Grundstoffs 2 durchgeführt. Schließlich werden an den gegenüberliegenden Schmalkanten des Grundstoffs auf den entsprechenden Besatzstücken zwei Aufsatzstücke 12, 12' jeweils an drei Seiten aufgenäht, um die als Befestigungseinrichtung für den Spannrahmen dienenden Taschen zu bilden. Zusätzlich ist parallel zu den Schmalkanten jeweils eine Quernaht 16 auf jedes Aufsatzstück 12, 12' aufgenäht, die den in der Tasche gebildeten Raum in Längsrichtung beschränkt. Auf diese Weise können Spannrahmen unterschiedlicher Länge ohne Spiel in den Taschen aufgenommen werden.The cleaning device according to the invention is produced by first connecting edge regions of trim piece 4 and base material 2 by means of endings or edging. Then, by pulling the trim piece 4 inwards, the base material 2 is raised in the edge region and slightly folded over. The trim piece withdrawn in this way is now fastened to the base material 2 with a stitched seam. This process is carried out on all four marginal edges of base material 2. Finally, two attachment pieces 12, 12 'are sewn onto the corresponding trim pieces on the opposite narrow edges of the base material, in each case on three sides, in order to form the pockets which serve as fastening means for the stenter frame. In addition, a transverse seam 16 is sewn onto each attachment piece 12, 12 'parallel to the narrow edges and limits the space formed in the pocket in the longitudinal direction. In this way, tenter frames of different lengths can be accommodated in the pockets without play.

Die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungseinrichtung hat den Vorteil, daß sie eine besonders bequeme und wirksame Reinigung von seitlichen Hindernissen auf dem zu reinigenden Fußboden sicherstellt, wobei die quer abstehenden Florfäden auch eine Reinigung von Profilleisten und eventuell vorhandenen Fugen gestatten. Der zwischen Besatzstück und Grundstoff gebildete Hohlraum kann durch Aufnahme eines wasserspeichernden bzw. formgebenden Materials verstärkt als Wasserspeicher dienen. Zusätzlich hat die verbundene Randnaht 6 eine gegenüber dem Grundstoff 2 gehobene Position, so daß der Spannrahmen mit seiner Randkante an dieser Randkante des Grundstoffs und des Besatzstücks anliegen kann. Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung ist eine besonders gute Führung der Reinigungseinrichtung möglich.The cleaning device according to the invention has the advantage that it ensures a particularly convenient and effective cleaning of side obstacles on the floor to be cleaned, the transverse threads projecting also allow cleaning of profile strips and possibly existing joints. The cavity formed between the trimmings and the base material can serve as a water reservoir by incorporating a water-storing or shaping material. In addition, the connected edge seam 6 has a raised position with respect to the base material 2, so that the clamping frame can rest with its edge on this edge edge of the base material and the trimmings.
