Definitions

  • the function of the bottom wall is generally to connect the two side walls and the front wall to provide sufficient structural strength to the wringer but it still meets an operational requirement.
  • the bottom wall is a support plane and reception of the fringed or mop band to allow the spinning, in one action, the fringed band or mop, even if it has a longitudinal extension much greater than the height of the front wall.
  • the bottom wall is perforated to allow, during the spinning fringe strips or mops, the outlet of the liquid they are impregnated.
  • the rinse liquid is separated from the dirty liquid from the spin and the wringer is mounted on a two-bin bucket or mounted on a suitable container which collects the dirty wring water, a second container being available and containing clean water.
  • a suitable container which collects the dirty wring water, a second container being available and containing clean water.
  • the operator is forced, after plunging the fringed band or mop into the liquid for rinsing, to lift the fringed band or mop, barely soaked, with the structure that supports it, above the upper edge of the wringer to lower it down, by introducing it inside to perform the spin.
  • the fringed band or mop that is introduced into these wringers can pass underneath, crossing them until it joins the underlying liquid and is immersed for the rinsing.
  • the fringed or mop band is extracted from the liquid and lifted up to the useful height by remaining inside the wringer and then wrung out.
  • the operator can thus quickly and easily rinse the fringed or mop band to rid it of the coarser particles of dirt in the liquid, and can then spin.
  • the object of the invention is to solve all the aforementioned problems and disadvantages while at the same time improving the possibilities that could exist in prior spiners.
  • the invention relates to a wringer which is provided with a movable pressing panel with parallel translational movement, acting against a flat bearing wall, and which has no bottom.
  • the height of both the movable panel and the support wall is substantially equal to the entire extent of the fringed strips or mops to wring.
  • the stroke of the control stick which is actuated by the operator, is reduced although it determines a wide translation of the movable pressing panel.
  • the oscillating rotation of the handle determines the reciprocating rectilinear displacement of the movable panel by using kinematics with cranks and rods made according to principles known but appropriately dimensioned and located in a timely manner in the structure.
  • the side walls have two guides of appropriate shape so that the mobile panel, at the end of its passive return stroke, tilts by enlarging the opening at the top to provide a entrance and a larger space for the insertion of the fringed band or mop.
  • the nipples secured to the mobile wiper panel, which are applied to its blanks and which slide in the aforementioned guides, are in a parallel position set back from the previous active panel. That way, when the fringed band or mop is pushed, in front of the movable panel, against the front wall of support, the nipples do not intervene. This avoids, during the pressing phase, jamming due to the possible insertion of the threads of the fringed or mop band between the guides and the nipples, with consequent deterioration of the fringed band or mop itself .
  • a first advantage of the wringer according to the present invention is due to the high uniformity of wringing of the surface of the fringed or mop band, substantially all of it, without accumulation in the lower part (as a result of absence of the bottom) and without the fringed or mop band being moved downward as happens with the roller wringers.
  • a second advantage of the wringer according to the present invention is that it has, at the end of the return stroke of the mobile wiping panel, a wide mouth of entry for the band with fringes or mop which must be introduced and a light next satisfactory passage for the fringed band or mop that must pass through it to have access to the underlying container of the liquid for soaking and rinsing.
  • a third advantage is due to the fact that the rinsing and subsequent wringing of the fringed or mop band take place during a single immersion and lifting operation and this, with great ease of introduction of the band with fringes or mop and another great ease of positioning and holding the fringed band or mop during spinning.
  • Figure 1 shows the wringer according to the present invention viewed in perspective from one side and from above.
  • This figure shows the centrifuge designated as a whole by the reference 1, the front end wall 2 provided with a multiplicity of holes, and the side walls 3 and 3 'connected at the rear by a cross member 16 ( not visible in Figure 1).
  • the side walls 3 and 3 ' are formed the guide slots 4 and 4' in which the studs 12 integral with the movable panel 5 slide.
  • the bearings 13 and 13' of a small shaft 8 which carries the levers 7 and 7 'to which are connected the rods 6 and 6' for controlling the movement of the movable panel 5.
  • the shaft 8 is secured at one end, a hub 9 provided with a seat 14 in which is inserted a control sleeve 10 provided with a handle 11 for gripping on the part of the operator. If desired, it is possible to insert the handle 10 in seats which are provided with the lever arms 7 and 7 ', which allows to exclude, in such a case, the presence of the hub 9.
  • the wringer is in the rest condition and the movable panel 5 is fully recessed so as to provide the maximum inlet opening for the insertion of the fringe tape. or mop. Note that in the wringer 1 the bottom is missing which gives a free passage through which can be made to pass the fringe or mop that must join the liquid in the underlying container.
  • FIG. 2 differs from the preceding figure only in that a cap 15 is applied on the outside of the slots 4 for guiding the pins 12 of the movable panel 5.
  • This cap 15 which can be easily removed, serves to prevent that, while spinning, water can be sprayed outside.
  • the references assigned to the other parts have the same meaning as that previously adopted.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the top of the wringer 1, taken from the rear, on which the movable panel 5 appears in the open position.
  • This figure shows the lower crossmember 16 which connects the two side walls 3 and 3 ', the extensions 17 and 17' of the walls 3 and 3 ', which contribute to the formation of hook-shaped seats 18 for mounting the door. 1 on suitable carriers of a trolley or directly on the edge of suitable buckets.
  • the front wall 2 and the slots 4 in which the studs 12 integral with the movable panel 5 slide.
  • the bearings 13 and 13 'of the shaft 8 which carry the levers 7 and 7 ', the latter being connected to the connecting rods 6 and 6'.
  • the hub 9 provided with the seat 14 inside which is inserted the handle 10 provided with the operating handle 11.
  • FIG. 4 is a representation similar to that of FIG. 3 and it differs from the latter only as a result of the presence of the anti-projection cap 15 placed over the slots 4 for guiding the pins 12 of the movable panel 5. -projection 15 prevents the output of jets to from the slots 4 during the spin cycle.
  • the references assigned to the other parts have the same meaning as that previously adopted.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the top of the wringer, taken from the front, on which the movable panel 5 is in an intermediate actuating position.
  • the perforated front wall 2 provided with a series of reinforcing ribs 19.
  • slots 20 and 20 ' provided for the insertion of the projections of a planar element which covers, at outside, almost completely the support wall, to prevent the release of any jets during the spin phase.
  • FIG. 6 is a representation similar to that of FIG. 5 and it differs from this latter only by the addition of the anti-projection cap 15.
  • the references which are assigned to the other parts have the same meaning as that previously adopted.
  • Figure 7 shows the wringer seen in front lateral perspective taken from above.
  • the movable panel 5 is in the maximum open position.
  • the front wall 2 is provided with an anti-projection sheet 21 which is engaged by its two projections in the slots 20.
  • Figure 8 is a representation similar to that of Figure 7 and differs from the latter only by the addition of the anti-projection cap 15.
  • the references which are assigned to other parts, have the same meaning as previously adopted.
  • Figure 9 shows the wringer 1 sectional view in a vertical and longitudinal plane, with the movable panel 5 being in the open position.
  • This figure shows the perforated front wall 2 provided with the ribs 19, the side wall 3 extending through the extension 17 ensuring the formation of the hook-shaped seat 18.
  • This figure also shows the guide slots 4 in FIG. which slide pins 12 secured to the movable panel 5. It may be noted that these nipples are in a position further back from the active spin panel, thus avoiding the jams that would occur during the spin if threads of the fringed band or mop came to engage in it.
  • Figure 10 shows the wringer 1 in section along a vertical and longitudinal plane, the movable panel 5 is then in the maximum closed position. It should be noted that the movable panel 5 is completely leaning against the support wall 2, which allows to obtain a high uniformity of the spinning of the fringed band or mop.
  • Figure 11 shows in section the wringer 1 mounted on the edge of a bucket 23 with an inserted fringe band 25.
  • This figure shows the foldable articulated structure 24 supporting the fringed band 25 which is inserted inside the wringer in the space defined between the movable panel 5 and the support wall 2. In this position, the fringed band can be dewatered.
  • Figure 12 shows in section the wringer 1 according to the present invention which is mounted on the edge of a bucket 23, being traversed by a fringed strip 25, and the relative support of the wringer.
  • the fringed strip is immersed in the liquid of the bucket, the folding articulated structure 24 supporting it being insertable into the space defined between the movable panel 5 and the support wall 2.
  • the absence of the bottom and the wide passage available between the support wall 2 and the movable panel 5 which is obtained with a normal stroke of the handle 10, constitutes as a whole the main innovative part of the wringer.
  • Figure 13 and Figure 14 are representations corresponding to those of Figures 11 and 12, the support structure 24 and the associated fringe strip 25 being placed in profile and arranged flat.
  • FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 are representations corresponding to those of FIGS. 11 and 12, the washing assembly previously consisting of the foldable articulated support 24 with the associated fringe band being replaced by a clamp support 26 with a fringed mop. associated 27.
