Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mop cover for cleaning floors with a textile support structure in an elongated shape with holder insert pockets attached to both ends at the top and material attached on the underside for absorbing dirt and moisture in the form of shag, fringes, loops, sponge cloth strips or the like.
  • Such mop covers are used for floor cleaning, for which purpose the mop covers are put on the holder.
  • the ends of the holders are inserted into the holder insertion pockets.
  • the holders have a handle, so that the holder with the mop cover open can be conveniently guided over the floors to be cleaned.
  • a generic mop cover in which the holder insert pockets can be formed from a textile fabric, is known from DE-PS 38 09 279.
  • the holder can only be inserted into the holder insert pockets when the pockets are open or open.
  • the mop covers are more often used for dewatering when used and are also washed and cleaned in washing machines at regular intervals, it may happen that the see do not stand open, but lie on the textile support structure. In order to be able to insert the holder, the pockets must then first be erected by hand.
  • mop covers which have reinforcements in the form of retracted rigid plastic strips or similar webs in the area of the pocket openings. These are sewn into the holder insertion pockets.
  • reinforcements have a number of disadvantages.
  • these stiff webs cause problems when pressing out the mop covers in presses.
  • the mop covers often get caught between the press rolls of the presses.
  • destruction of the reinforcements is often found, so that the function of keeping the pocket openings open is no longer provided.
  • the known solutions have disadvantages in cleaning, that is to say when washing the mop covers.
  • the stiffened areas hinder the flexing process when washing the mop covers in washing machines.
  • a generic mop cover from the applicant has also become known (DE-PS 40 25 646), in which the holder insert pockets have strips of water-absorbent and swellable material in the region of the pocket opening.
  • the initially dry strip which consists of water-absorbing and / or swellable material, comes into contact with liquid and absorbs it, which increases the volume of the strips or expands them. This results in an automatic opening or keeping the insert pockets open, the water-absorbing and / or swellable strips remaining elastic and thus the disadvantages of the other known ones described above. Do not have solutions.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a solution which can be used to keep the pockets open even after the mop cover has been washed several times without impairing the other properties of use of such a mop cover.
  • the elongate support structure at least in the region of the holder insert pockets, consists of a material that shrinks more than the textile material of the holder insert pockets.
  • This configuration of the mop cover according to the invention further improves the automatic keeping of the holder insert pockets by washing the mop cover several times. Because of the washing, the fabric of the carrier structure shrinks more than the fabric of the pockets, so that the pockets have to additionally bulge, ie the different shrinking behavior means that the pocket opens automatically and additionally, which significantly improves the introduction of the holder.
  • the manufacture of the mop cover is simplified because no additional elements made of plastic strips or water-absorbent and / or swellable strips are required, which must be sewn to the pockets. Since both the fabric of the pockets and the carrier structure is elastic, the flexing process in washing machines is not hindered and the covers are not subsequently deformed even in presses.
  • the mixed fabric of the support structure is absorbent, so that the support structure also takes part in the cleaning process.
  • the carrier structure consists of a cotton-plastic mixed fabric and the holder insert pockets consist of a pure plastic fabric.
  • the mixed fabric of the carrier structure is to be selected so that a sufficiently different shrinking behavior between the carrier structure fabric and the pocket fabric is ensured.
  • the carrier structure preferably consists of a blended fabric made of cotton / polyester, cotton / polyamide or also of cotton / polypropylene.
  • the plastic fabric of the holder insert pockets preferably consists of polyester, although other plastic fabrics can also be used in principle. However, polyester bags are particularly hard-wearing and inactive for cleaning. If, for example, the mixed fabric of the carrier structure consists of 65% polyester and 35% cotton and the plastic fabric of the pockets is made of polyester, it has been found that after five times 60 "washing of a mop cover according to the invention, the carrier structure shrinks by 4%, while the pockets only shrink by 1%, so that the desired hold-open effect arises due to the curvature of the pockets.
  • a mop cover according to the invention in the form of a flat mop is generally designated 1 in the drawing.
  • This mop cover 1 has a textile support structure 2 in an elongated shape, onto which a holder insertion pocket 3 is sewn on the upper side on the longitudinal end, which is used to hold a holder 4 at the end.
  • This holder 4 is connected in a known manner via a joint 5 to a handle 6.
  • the holder insertion pockets 3 consist of a pure plastic fabric, for example polyester
  • the carrier structure 2 consists of a cotton-plastic mixed fabric which, compared to the plastic tissue of the holder insertion pockets 3, is exposed to heat, in particular in a washing machine, shrinks more.
  • the textile carrier structure 2 On the underside of the textile fabric 2, i.e. on the active cleaning side, the textile carrier structure 2 has a plurality of strips or fringes 7 of sponge material or the like arranged next to one another, the outer edge of the carrier structure 2 being provided with a circumferential binding tape 8.
  • the insertion openings of the holder insertion pockets 3 are designated by 9, preferably the holder insertion pockets 3 each have water outlet openings 10 at the other end.
  • the textile carrier structure 2 consists of a mixed fabric of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, while the sewn-on holder insert pockets 3 consist of pure polyester fabric.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown. Further configurations are possible without leaving the basic idea.
  • other materials can also be used for the pockets 3 and the carrier structure 2, but it is essential that a textile fabric is selected for the carrier structure 2, which shrinks more when the heat is applied during washing than the fabric of the pockets 3.
