Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Einsatzteil für einen Wasserbehälter zum Auswaschen und Auspressen von Rasterschwämmen, mit zwei in einer Waschzone und in einer Auspresszone in horizontaler Lage auf unterschiedlicher Höhe angeordneten, mit Durchbrüchen versehenen Platten. Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt auch eine Verwendung des Einsatzteils.The invention relates to an insert for a water tank for washing out and squeezing out raster sponges, with two plates provided with openings in a washing zone and in a squeezing zone in a horizontal position at different heights. The use of the insert part is also within the scope of the invention.

Zum Glätten und Waschen frischer Fugen an Wand- und Bodenbelägen werden sogenannte Rasterschwämme verwendet. Da sich Schmutzpartikel und Fugenreste im Rasterschwamm festsetzen, muss dieser häufig ausgewaschen und das Wasser anschliessend aus dem Schwamm herausgepresst werden. Hierzu ist es bekannt, den Rasterschwamm einige Male in einem mit Wasser gefülltem Behälter zu schwenken und anschliessend das Wasser aus dem Schwamm dadurch auszupressen, dass der Rasterschwamm unter Anwendung eines gewissen Anpressdruckes über zwei auf dem Wasserbehälter angeordnete Walzen geführt wird. Diese herkömmliche Verfahrensweise zum Auswaschen und Auspressen von Rasterschwämmen ist mit zwei wesentlichen Nachteilen verbunden. Durch das blosse Schwenken des Rasterschwammes im Wasser wird nur ein geringer Teil der vom Schwamm aufgenommenen Schmutzpartikel und Fugenreste ausgewaschen. Beim nachfolgenden Auspressen des Wassers mittels der Walzen werden die Schmutzpartikel sogar noch weiter in den Schwamm hineingearbeitet. Zudem führt das Auspressen des Wassers mittels der Walzen zu einer raschen Beschädigung des Schwammes, so dass dieser vorzeitig ersetzt werden muss.So-called grid sponges are used to smooth and wash fresh joints on wall and floor coverings. Since dirt particles and joint residues get stuck in the grid sponge, it has to be washed out frequently and the water then pressed out of the sponge. For this purpose, it is known to pivot the grid sponge a few times in a container filled with water and then to squeeze the water out of the sponge in that the grid sponge is guided over two rollers arranged on the water container using a certain contact pressure. This conventional procedure for washing out and pressing out raster sponges has two major disadvantages. By simply swiveling the grid sponge in the water, only a small part of the dirt particles and joint residues absorbed by the sponge are washed out. When the water is subsequently pressed out using the rollers, the dirt particles are worked even further into the sponge. In addition, squeezing the water out of the rollers quickly damages the sponge so that it has to be replaced prematurely.

Die US-A-2671239 offenbart ein Einsatzteil für einen Behälter zum Auswaschen und Auspressen von Bürsten. Der Behälter ist zweigeteilt, wobei in jedem Behälterteil perforierte Platten in horizontaler Lage auf unterschiedlicher Höhe angeordnet sind und hierbei eine Waschzone sowie eine Auspresszone bilden.US-A-2671239 discloses an insert for a container for washing and squeezing out brushes. The container is divided into two, with perforated parts in each container Plates are arranged in a horizontal position at different heights, forming a washing zone and a squeezing zone.

In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass mit perforierten Platten keine wirkungsvolle Reinigung von Rasterschwämmen erreicht werden kann.In practice it has been shown that perforated plates cannot effectively clean grid sponges.

Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Vorrichtung zum Auswaschen und Auspressen von Rasterschwämmen bereitzustellen, die eine effiziente Entfernung von Schmutzteilen und Fugenresten aus dem Schwamm ermöglicht und gleichzeitig ein schonendes Auspressen des Wasser aus dem gereinigten Schwamm gestattet.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set himself the task of providing a device for washing out and squeezing out raster sponges, which enables the efficient removal of dirt and joint residues from the sponge and at the same time allows the water to be squeezed out gently from the cleaned sponge.

Zur erfindungsgemässen Lösung der Aufgabe führt ein Einsatzteil für einen Wasserbehälter, bei dem die Waschzone durch einen ersten Metallrahmen mit darin auswechselbar eingesetztem Gitterrost und die Auspresszone durch einen zweiten Metallrahmen mit darin auswechselbar eingesetztem Gitterrost gebildet ist.To achieve the object according to the invention, an insert part for a water container leads, in which the washing zone is formed by a first metal frame with a grating which is interchangeably inserted therein and the squeezing zone is formed by a second metal frame with a grating which is interchangeably inserted therein.

Spezielle und weiterbildende Ausführungsarten des erfindungsgemässen Einsatzteils sind Gegenstand von abhängigen Patentansprüchen.Special and further developing embodiments of the insert part according to the invention are the subject of dependent patent claims.

Im Gebrauch wird das Einsatzteil in einen Wasserbehälter gestellt und der Wasserbehälter derart mit Wasser gefüllt, dass der Gitterrost im Bereich der Waschzone knapp unterhalb der Wasserlinie zu liegen kommt.In use, the insert is placed in a water container and the water container is filled with water in such a way that the grating in the area of the washing zone comes to lie just below the water line.

Durch das stossweise Anpressen des Rasterschwammes gegen den Gitterrost in der Waschzone und anschliessend in der Auspresszone wird die geforderte Reinigung und das schonende Auspressen erreicht.The required cleaning and gentle pressing is achieved by pressing the grid sponge in stages against the grating in the washing zone and then in the squeezing zone.

Die Gitterroste bzw. die Metallrahmen sind bevorzugt in einem horizontalen Abstand zueinander angeordnet und untereinander über Verbindungsstege starr verbunden.The gratings or the metal frames are preferably in a horizontal distance from each other and rigidly connected to each other via connecting webs.

Zweckmässigerweise weist der erste Metallrahmen ein erstes Fusspaar und der zweite Metallrahmen ein zweites Fusspaar auf. Die Höhe des Gitterrostes bzw. des zweiten Metallrahmens in der Auspresszone entspricht hierbei etwa der doppelten Höhe des Gitterrostes bzw. des ersten Metallrahmens in der Waschzone.The first metal frame expediently has a first pair of feet and the second metal frame has a second pair of feet. The height of the grating or the second metal frame in the squeeze-out zone corresponds approximately to twice the height of the grating or the first metal frame in the washing zone.

Als Werkstoff für die Gitterroste ist insbesondere Kunststoff geeignet. Metallrahmen, Verbindungsstege und Fusspaare werden bevorzugt aus Stahl gefertigt, miteinander verschweisst und nachfolgend verzinkt.Plastic is particularly suitable as the material for the gratings. Metal frames, connecting bars and pairs of feet are preferably made of steel, welded together and then galvanized.

Eine Wascheinrichtung 10 zum Auswaschen und Auspressen eines zum Glätten und Waschen von frischen Fugen an Wand- und Bodenbelägen verwendeten Rasterschwammes 40 weist ein Wasserbecken 12 sowie ein in diesem frei stehenden Einsatzteil 14 auf. Das Einsatzteil 14 besteht aus einem rechteckförmigen, in einer Waschzone A auf einer Höhe a horizontal angeordneten ersten Metallrahmen 16 und einem in einer Auspresszone B auf einer Höhe b horizontal angeordneten, rechteckförmigen zweiten Metallrahmen 18. Hierbei entspricht die Höhe b des zweiten Metallrahmens 18 etwa der doppelten Höhe a des ersten Metallrahmens 16. Die beiden Metallrahmen 16, 18 sind über seitliche Verbindungsstege 24 starr miteinander verbunden und weisen einen horizontalen Abstand d zueinander auf. Die Höhe a bzw. b ergibt sich aus der entsprechenden Anordnung eines ersten Fusspaares 20 am ersten Metallrahmen 16 sowie eines zweiten Fusspaares 22 am zweiten Metallrahmen 18. Die Fusspaare 20, 22 sind mit Gummifüssen 34 versehen, die in Gebrauchslage des Einsatzteils 14 am Boden 13 des Wasserbeckens 12 aufliegen.A washing device 10 for washing out and pressing out a grid sponge 40 used for smoothing and washing fresh joints on wall and floor coverings has a water basin 12 and an insert part 14 which is free-standing in it. The insert part 14 consists of a rectangular first metal frame 16 horizontally arranged in a washing zone A at a height a and a rectangular second metal frame 18 horizontally arranged in a pressing zone B at a height b. The height b of the second metal frame 18 corresponds approximately to that double height a of the first metal frame 16. The two metal frames 16, 18 are rigidly connected to one another via lateral connecting webs 24 and are at a horizontal distance d from one another. The Height a and b results from the corresponding arrangement of a first pair of feet 20 on the first metal frame 16 and a second pair of feet 22 on the second metal frame 18. The pairs of feet 20, 22 are provided with rubber feet 34 which, in the position of use of the insert 14 on the bottom 13 of the Water pool 12 lie on.

Jeder der Metallrahmen 16, 18 ist mit einem umlaufenden Auflagestreifen 32 versehen und bildet so eine Halterung für je einen auswechselbar in den Metallrahmen eingesetzten Gitterrost 26. Dieser Gitterrost 26 ist aus Längsstegen 28 und Querstegen 30 gebildet, so dass sich in Draufsicht ein quadratisches Gittermuster ergibt. Die Dicke c des Gitterrostes 26 entspricht etwa der vertikalen Abmessung des Metallrahmens 16, 18, so dass bei eingesetztem Gitterrost 26 dessen obere Fläche etwa bündig mit der oberen Kante des Metallrahmens 16, 18 ist.Each of the metal frames 16, 18 is provided with a circumferential support strip 32 and thus forms a holder for a grating 26 which is interchangeably inserted in the metal frame. This grating 26 is formed from longitudinal webs 28 and transverse webs 30, so that a square lattice pattern results in plan view . The thickness c of the grating 26 corresponds approximately to the vertical dimension of the metal frame 16, 18, so that when the grating 26 is inserted, its upper surface is approximately flush with the upper edge of the metal frame 16, 18.

Die Metallrahmen 16, 18, die Fusspaare 20, 22 sowie die Verbindungsstege 24 sind aus Stahl gefertigt, miteinander verschweisst und die geschweisste Konstruktion anschliessend verzinkt. Der auswechselbare Gitterrost 26 besteht aus Kunststoff und kann im Bedarfsfall beispielsweise mittels Plastikbriden am Metallrahmen 16, 18 fixiert werden.The metal frames 16, 18, the pairs of feet 20, 22 and the connecting webs 24 are made of steel, welded to one another and the welded construction is then galvanized. The exchangeable grating 26 is made of plastic and can be fixed to the metal frame 16, 18, for example by means of plastic clips, if necessary.

Die Funktionsweise der erfindungsgemässen Wascheinrichtung 10 wird nachfolgend kurz beschrieben.The mode of operation of the washing device 10 according to the invention is briefly described below.

Das Wasserbecken 12 wird mit Wasser W bis auf eine Höhe h gefüllt, so dass die Wasserlinie 1 knapp oberhalb der oberen Kante des ersten Metallrahmens 16 zu liegen kommt, d.h. die Höhe h der Wasserlinie 1 übertrifft knapp die Höhe a des ersten Metallrahmens 16, beispielsweise etwa 0,1 (b-a). Der üblicherweise auf einem Rasterschwammbrett 36 mit integriertem Handgriff 38 aufgeklebte sogenannte Rasterschwamm 40 wird in der Waschzone A einige Male stossweise gegen den Gitterrost 26 im ersten Metallrahmen 16 gedrückt, wodurch im Rasterschwamm 40 festgesetzte Schmutzpartikel herausgelöst werden und der Rasterschwamm 40 insgesamt einer Nassreinigung unterzogen wird. Nach erfolgtem Auswaschen des Rasterschwammes 40 wird dieser in der Auspresszone B gegen den Gitterrost 26 des zweiten Metallrahmens 18 gedrückt, wodurch der überwiegende Teil des im Rasterschwamm 40 enthaltenen Wassers ausgetrieben wird. Der derart gereinigte Rasterschwamm 40 steht für das erneute Waschen eines frisch gefugten Boden- oder Wandbelages bereit.The water basin 12 is filled with water W up to a height h, so that the water line 1 comes to lie just above the upper edge of the first metal frame 16, ie the height h of the water line 1 just exceeds the height a of the first metal frame 16, for example about 0.1 (ba). The so-called raster sponge 40, which is usually glued to a grid sponge board 36 with an integrated handle 38, is pressed a few times in the washing zone A against the grating 26 in the first metal frame 16, as a result of which Screen sponge 40 fixed dirt particles are removed and the screen sponge 40 is subjected to a wet cleaning. After the raster sponge 40 has been washed out, it is pressed in the squeezing zone B against the grating 26 of the second metal frame 18, as a result of which the predominant part of the water contained in the raster sponge 40 is expelled. The raster sponge 40 cleaned in this way is ready for the renewed washing of a freshly grooved floor or wall covering.
