Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor cleaning device with a holding device for a mop cover, which has a plate-shaped central part, to which a handle or handle can be attached, and at least one side part, which can be pivoted between an extended position that is essentially flush with the central part and a bent position that is angled relative to the latter is, wherein a locking element is mounted on the central part, which is adjustable between a locking position holding the side part in the extended position and a release position releasing the side part.
  • Such a floor cleaning device has a central plate and two wire brackets, the free ends of which are bent inwards and fixed to the central plate.
  • the brackets extend to opposite sides of the middle plate and serve to receive a mop cover by the brackets are inserted under straps or tabs or in pockets of the mop cover.
  • One of the brackets is fixed to the central plate in a substantially aligned extended position, while the other bracket is pivotably mounted and can thus be brought from its extended position essentially in the plane of the plate into a downwardly angled kink position in which threading under the retaining straps or tabs or insertion into the pockets of the mop cover is facilitated.
  • a lever system is arranged on the central plate, which comprises an actuating lever protruding from the central plate, which is partly indirectly, partly directly connected to locking slides which are displaceably mounted on the central plate swivel bracket can be pushed.
  • the two locking slides reach under the swivel bracket and hold it in this way in a form-fitting manner.
  • a user In order to bring the bracket into its kink position, a user must adjust the actuating lever, whereby the locking slides are pulled out from under the bracket, so that the bracket falls into the kink position due to the weight.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a floor cleaning device of the type mentioned above, in which a safe mounting of the bracket is ensured in a structurally simple manner.
  • the locking element is a pivotally mounted locking lever which can be locked and preferably locked in its locking position on the central part.
  • the locking lever is held securely on the central part in the locked position due to the locking or latching and in turn keeps the side part reliably in the extended position.
  • the locking lever can be pivoted freely so that thereby also the form-fitting mounting of the side part is canceled. Both the locking lever and the side part can then pivot independently of one another.
  • the locking lever and the side part fall out of the extended position into the kink position.
  • only the locking lever has to be brought into the locked or locked position on the middle part, whereby the side part is again held in a positive manner relative to the middle part. Since only a single locking lever is provided in the configuration according to the invention, this solution is distinguished by a structurally simple and inexpensive construction.
  • the locking lever is preferably pivotally mounted on the middle part, but it is also possible to mount it on the side part in a pivotable manner.
  • the side part is a U-shaped bracket with essentially parallel legs, the free ends of which are pivotably mounted on the central part.
  • the free ends of the legs are angled inwards and engage in bearing bores in the central part.
  • the locking lever is mounted on the free ends of the legs, whereby on the one hand the arrangement of a further special bearing for the locking lever is avoided and on the other hand the further advantage is achieved that the locking lever usually made of plastic on the legs of the bracket made of metal is mounted, whereby a stable and reliable storage can be achieved.
  • the side part can also be plate-shaped and two essentially have parallel legs, the free ends of which are pivotally mounted on the central part.
  • the locking lever can be attached to the inwardly angled end regions of the legs in a simple manner. Since the pivot axis for the locking lever and the side part coincide, simple and precise handling for the cleaning device is guaranteed.
  • a compact structure can be achieved in that the actuating section is arranged between the legs of the side part.
  • the form-fitting mounting of the side part on the middle part can preferably be achieved in that the locking lever has at least one approach engaging under the side part. If the locking lever is locked or locked on the middle part, the approach of the locking lever prevents the side part from falling down into its kink position. For reasons of stability, it has proven to be advantageous to provide two lugs on the locking lever which are arranged on opposite sides and preferably each engage under one leg of the side part.
  • a floor cleaning device of the type mentioned usually consists of a central part and two side parts which extend from the central part to opposite sides. Since it is usually sufficient for pulling on or changing the mop cover to make only one side part pivotable, the further side part can be fixed in an extended position relative to the middle part. However, it is also possible to use the additional side part to form the middle part as a one-piece component, preferably made of plastic.
  • the pivotable side part and / or the further side part have a lower height in their outer end sections than in their other areas.
  • the handling of the floor cleaning device can be improved if at least the outer end section of the side part is axially displaceable relative to this, in order to be able to reduce the protruding length of the side part during the insertion process into the pockets of the mop cover.
  • the mop cover can be clamped axially between the side parts in this way, which is achieved in particular in that the displaceable outer end section is under the action of a spring element urging it outwards.
  • a holding device 10 for a cleaning device has an essentially plate-shaped central part 11 which is made of plastic and is provided on its upper side with two spaced upwardly projecting brackets 12 which are connected via a molded web 12a are.
  • the lower end of a handle or a handle can be articulated to the web 12a in a known manner.
  • two side parts 13 and 14 Arranged on the middle part 11 are two side parts 13 and 14 which extend to opposite sides of the middle part and which consist of a metal wire bracket which is bent essentially in a U-shape and each have two essentially parallel legs 13a and 14a. In the extended position shown in Figures 1 and 2, the two side parts 13 and 14 and the middle part 11 essentially aligned in one plane. While the left side part 14 according to the figures is firmly attached to the middle part 11, the opposite side part 13 can be pivoted downwards from the illustrated stretched position into an angled bent position, as shown in FIG.
  • the side part 13 arranged at the opposite end of the middle part 11 can be freely pivoted relative to the latter.
  • a locking lever 15 is pivotally mounted, which holds the side part 13 in a form-fitting manner in the extended position.
  • the locking lever 15 has two substantially parallel legs 15b which are penetrated at their free ends by the inwardly angled ends 13b of the legs 13a of the side part 13, so that a pivot bearing for the locking lever 15 is formed.
  • the locking lever 15 has a recess 15d into which a locking lug 16 formed on the central part 11 can be inserted, which can engage behind a transverse web 15e of the locking lever 15.
  • the locking lever has two projections 15c projecting laterally on opposite sides, which can be brought into contact with the underside of the legs 13a of the side part 13 and this in the locked state of the locking lever Hold 15 in the stretched position.
  • an actuating section 15a of the locking lever 15 projects laterally beyond the central part 11, so that a user can easily release the locking lever 15 arranged on the underside of the central part 11 by pressing the actuating section 15a from the latching.
  • Both the locking lever 15 and the side part 13 then fall independently of one another owing to their own weight into the angled kink position shown in FIG. 5, in which a mop cover can be exchanged or opened.
  • a user In order to bring the floor cleaning device back into the position of use, a user only has to press the handle or handle (not shown) from above onto the middle part 11, whereby the locking lever 15 and the side part 13 are pivoted back into their extended position when in contact with the floor the locking lever 15 latches with the central part 11 and thereby holds the side part 13 in the extended position.
  • the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 has the fundamentally the same structure and differs from the aforementioned first exemplary embodiment essentially in that the pivotable side part 23 is plate-shaped and has two substantially parallel legs 23c, the free ends of which 23b the middle part 11 are pivotally mounted by being angled inwards and inserted into bearing bores 17 of the middle part 11.
  • the locking lever 15, which can be locked with the middle part 11 holds the side part 23 in its extended position via the side lugs 15c which engage under the legs 23a.
  • the outer end section 23b of the side part 23 has a smaller thickness than the other regions of the side part 23 in order in this way to facilitate insertion into pockets 30a of the mop cover 30 (see FIG. 9).
  • the side part 24 fixedly attached to the middle part 11 is formed in one piece with the middle part 11 and has at its free end an end part 24a of reduced height which is axially displaceable relative to the side part 24 or the middle part 11.
  • a spring device 25 is arranged between the end part 24a and the middle part 11, which acts axially on the end part 24a, the outward movement being limited by the abutment of a projection 24c on a stop 26.
