Definitions

• the invention relates to a combination of devices for wet or wet wiping of floors.
• the combination consists, on the one hand, of a flat wiper device with a holder consisting essentially of a one-piece plate, which has a wiping attachment attached to the bottom and a pivotable handle holder attached to the opposite side of the plate.
• the combination consists of a pressing device for the wiping.
• a wet mop with sponge cloth strips in combination with a press basket that can be hung in a conventional bucket allows cleaning of floors without exposing the skin to contact with the dirty water.
• the relatively small mob, covered with the sponge cloth shag only allows the cleaning of relatively small areas before it has to be squeezed out and immersed in the fresh cleaning solution.
• the floor area cleaned per unit of time is also relatively small when this device is used, since it must be relatively small in order to be able to be pressed off in the suspended press basket.
• Another disadvantage occurs when trying to clean overlaped surfaces, whereby the coarse dirt is only partially removed and the other part pushed even deeper under the tables, cupboards, etc.
• the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device combination for wet or damp wiping of floors for use in the household and small business sector, by means of which skin contact with the soapy water can be avoided, dewatering of the wiping trimmings is possible without great effort, high cleaning performance is achieved and which is maneuverable enough to be able to clean even surfaces and corners completely and easily.
• this object is achieved with a device combination of the The type described above is solved in that the bottom side of the plate-like holder is designed as a flat surface, that the holder is inflexible, and that the wiping trimmings essentially consist of a full-surface rest on the bottom side of the holder, consisting mainly of cotton and viscose Sponge cloth with a water absorbency of at least 600%, in particular at least 1000% of its own weight and is provided with sliding aids at least on the side facing the floor, and that the pressing device is designed as a sieve-like plate and in particular for hanging in a bucket.
• the inflexibility of the holder which is possible in one piece or also in a foldable design, in connection with the flood-absorbent sponge cloth enables easy drainage on the sieve-like plate, preferably suspended in a bucket, without the need for complicated devices such as presses.
• the main disadvantage of sponge cloths, namely stiffness in the dry phase, is avoided by the sliding aids attached at least to the side facing the floor.
• the flexural rigidity of the bottom side of the plate-like holder for the wiping is important so that the pressing pressure over the screen-like plate, for. B. a perforated plate, uniformly affects the wound mop, the sponge cover and this drained thoroughly.
• the upper side of the holder has struts to increase the stability and bending stiffness. Cross corrugations can also be provided for this purpose.
• the plate can also have rounded corners.
• the endeavor of the plate-like holder to tip off the ground during operation is advantageously reduced in that the pivotable handle holder is anchored sufficiently deep in the holder.
• the pivotable handle holder can be a cardan joint, e.g. B. is an S-joint between two trestles on the top of the holder plate.
• the holder plate can have several, in particular two, notches for engaging webs attached to the wiper cover. It is also expedient to provide notches on all sides of the plate in order to secure the wiping trimmings by means of tapes.
• the bands can be attached to the holder plate in another variant by means of clamping devices.
• the wiper device according to the invention has a number of advantages. In the version with a one-piece and one-piece base plate, it requires only low manufacturing costs. A uniform application of pressure to the wiping cover during the pressing or wiping process is ensured by the inflexibility and flatness of the bottom side of the holder, the wiping cover can be fastened to the plate-like holder in a time-saving manner by means of notches or clamping devices or rubber bands. Due to the closed surfaces and the lack of recesses, dirt does not stick to the wiper or can be easily removed.
• the sponge cloth material which mainly consists of cotton and viscose, has an extreme water absorbency of at least 600% and typically around 1400% of its own weight.
• the sponge cloth can be conveniently and practically dewatered by simple pressure.
• An example of such a sponge cloth is the material "Nalo'V'Nalophan" from Hoechst AG. It consists of about a third of cotton fibers of 12 to 15 mm in length and about two thirds of regenerated cellulose. With a thickness of 4 mm, the material has a weight of 550 g / m ⁇ .
• a full-surface sponge cloth cover is proposed.
• the smooth running required in the dry phase is achieved by sliding aids on the side of the sponge that faces the floor.
• Wiping trimmings with a thickness of 2 to 30 mm when dry.
• several, in particular two, webs or bands attached to the top can advantageously be attached for fastening to the plate-like holder.
• Such webs are known per se and z. B. in DE 4022 326 AI be ⁇ .
• Another advantageous way of fastening the wiping trimmings to the holder is made possible by insertion pockets for receiving the holder, which are attached on the upper side to the longitudinal ends of the wiping trimmings. Such pockets are z. B. shown in DE 3809279 Cl.
• the invention provides fringes, loops or shag attached to the underside of the wiping trimmings.
• this wiping attachment has a high degree of dryness and enables very good cleaning performance.
• the full-surface support leads to a wiping effect as when wiping with wipes and to residue-free removal of dirt.
• the grids sewn on as sliding aids or slide rails or the like also have an abrasive effect on dirt incrustations. With a little pressure on the holder, the mop covers can be easily and conveniently drained on a press screen.
• the opening of the associated bucket is also rectangular.
• the pressing device be designed as a perforated plate with edges bent up on two opposite sides for horizontal or inclined hanging in a bucket. If the perforated plate is hung at an angle into the bucket, sufficient permeability for the squeezed out water must be ensured. It is further preferred that the edges of the perforated plate are flanged up and struts are provided on the perforated plate to prevent deflection when the wiping material is pressed off. so that a uniform pressing of the sponge cover is guaranteed.
• the device combination comprises a bucket which is divided into two regions by an approximately half-high partition and into which the sieve-like plate can be suspended, with which the wiping trimmings can be pressed off.
• the partition is preferably attached obliquely in the direction of the bucket discharge beak, so that both chambers can be emptied simultaneously.
• a recessed grip can be provided on the bottom of the bucket and a semicircular bucket opening edge as a pouring aid.
• the semicircular edge of the bucket opening enables targeted emptying of only one or the other of the compartments separated by the partition, or both compartments simultaneously.
• the sieve-like plate is provided for inclined installation in the bucket, it advantageously carries a scraper rail or scraper roller about halfway across its width and a stop at its end.
• the sieve-like plate can be hung with one edge on the one-sided edge and supported with the other edge on the approximately half-height bucket partition.
• the plate-shaped holder with the applied sponge cloth cover is placed on the suspended sieve-like plate and pushed down over the scraper rail or scraper roller. A particularly effective drainage is achieved.
• the stop provided at the end of the sieve-like plate prevents the holder from sliding into the bucket.
• the bucket equipped with the partition wall enables a separation of dirt and less contaminated cleaning liquor.
• the cleaning quality is increased.
• emptying is also possible without problems even with the press sieve hanging in, in which the above-mentioned recessed grip is used.
• the attachable pressing device in conjunction with the described wiper device, offers an effective drainage option without the need for one of the usual presses.
