Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for treating flat surfaces, namely floors, for their care and for maintaining their quality.
- Such Treatment essentially consists of three work sequences: cleaning the Surface, then applying a protective layer to the cleaned surface, and then Smoothing and polishing the surface of the protective layer after setting Protective layer on the treated area.
- the protective layer exists as required from care products such as waxes and resins, or preservatives, like seals of various origins.
- the duration of action of the applied care products The duration of action of the preservatives ranges from a few months to about a year extends over several years.
- Floors only suffer one there mechanical abrasion, where it is stressed by entering and walking on become.
- Effective care includes cleaning and impregnation using preservatives. Thanks to such care, they are also ahead Protected against water damage. Maintaining the surface quality of parquet floors, but also of stoneware or plastic floors, is characterized by cyclical Repeat of the described care treatment possible.
- the simplest device for floor cleaning is a scrubber, the most complicated one is programmable in a learning mode Scrubber-drier, which later became the actual robot vehicle is used.
- the simplest application device for the care product is a Handheld device with handle for guiding and moving the device, at the end of it Padded scraper, which can be covered with spare fur, is mounted with which the floor is spread over to distribute the care product.
- Experience shows that the effective use of these devices is a lot of skill and experience needs, and that the known techniques and measures little are practical.
- US-A-2 116 441 discloses an apparatus for treating flat surfaces, wherein a platform is connected to a handle and there are two sockets with wipers.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device to apply a protective layer on the cleaned surface and the Smoothing and polishing the surface of the protective layer after setting Protective layer to lighten the treated area, while maintaining the economy increased by a more efficient application by means of the device becomes.
- the solution to this problem consists in a device for treatment flat surfaces, being a platform with a stem is connected and two versions with wipers are present, and being between these two wipers are arranged guiding devices, which the wipers protrude laterally and with the platform by means of brackets and a guide tube are connected.
- FIG. 1 shows the device 15 lying on the floor along a wall 40 in a top view.
- a platform 6 On a platform 6 is a bearing 11, which a Caradic joint 8 forms, the handle 9 articulated.
- the platform 6 can therefore in everyone Pivotal position of the handle 9 pushed or pulled along the floor.
- One wiper housing 7 and the associated one Scraper 1 ' is longer than the other with its scraper 1 ".
- a guide tube 10 extends in both end regions thereof Guide tube 10 is each a boom 21, with a star grip screw 22 can be locked in the guide tube 10.
- a length scale 21 ' can the extent of the extension of this boom 21 and thus the intended width of the Edge zone 40 '(FIG. 4), which is to remain untreated, can be set.
- articulated devices 20 ', 20 " On the outer ends of the arms 21 are articulated devices 20 ', 20 ".
- the chassis 25 can be pivoted horizontally by means of a bolt 29 the ends of the boom 21 articulated.
- the setting angle is on an angle display 30 of the chassis 25 against the boom 21 measurable and the selected Angle can be locked by means of the star grip screw 23.
- the device is guided along the wall 40 with the rollers on the adjacent one Roll wall 40 and thus ensure that the wipers 1 ', 1 "with glide across the floor at a constant distance from the wall. Because the device forms a sled-like construction with a low center of gravity, and the Handle 9 is pivotable in any direction relative to platform 6, it can be effortless pushed or pulled along the floor in any pivot position of the stem 9 become.
- FIG. 2 shows the device 15 seen from the side, the a wiper 1 'is shown in a cross section.
- the platform exists like you can see from one piece and form two U-profiles that are open at the bottom and into which the sockets 6 ', 6 "for the wipers 1', 1" inserted from below and by means of each two needle bearings 7 ', 7 "are suspended.
- the bearing 11 can also be seen here for the stem 9 in the form of the universal joint 8, and the guide tube 10 for the Recording the guiding devices 20 ', 20 "(FIG. 3).
- the structure of the wipers is shown on the left based on the cross section and is still based on Figures 3a-3c described in more detail.
- FIG. 3a shows the structure of a wiper body in a cross section.
- the spar 2 of the scraper 1 is preferably made from aluminum as an extrusion profile and, as shown, is covered with a U-shaped cushion 3 made of closed-cell elastomer for the purpose of cushioning.
- FIG. 3b now shows the cross-section covering the stripper with a skin 4. For this purpose, the one long side of a rectangular fur 4 is inserted into the groove 2 'in such a way that the fur hairs 4' face outwards and only one side and the bottom of the groove 2 'are covered by the skin 4.
- a roller 5 is pressed into the free space in the channel 2 '.
- the channel 2 ' leaves just enough space so that when the roller 5 is pressed into the channel 2' along the free wall of the channel 2 ', the skin 4 between the roller 5 and the other wall of the channel 2' is clamped. The fur 4 is then wrapped around the pillow 3 and spar 2.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation of the treatment of the Floor of a room along the walls, leaving out the edge zone 40 'of the ground.
- the area of the floor applies as the edge zone 40 'of the floor directly near the wall. This zone is problematic for cleaning because the floor in the corner between floor and wall with the cleaning agents is difficult to access.
- the wall forms one for this edge zone Protection against use because the edge zone is not at all due to the proximity to the wall is walkable. Therefore, the edge zone 40 'of the floors remains throughout their service life preserved almost unused in its original condition.
- Figure 5 illustrates the principle of systematic soil treatment of a room with the device. It shows a complete one Route plan and thus the continuation of the treatment of that shown in Figure 4 Room with the device according to the invention. It can be seen from this that the route for the surface of the floor which is still untreated according to FIG a second attempt analog and parallel, but just about the width of the strip 35 is to be placed offset so that the existing strip 35 with certainty from the Continuation of route section 42 touched on the edge, or somewhat covered becomes.
- the route section 43 line by line and meandering with the Column width 35 'is only continued until the width of the not yet treated Floor area is narrower than twice the width of the strip 35 '.
- the remaining route section 44 becomes 90 compared to route section 43 Angle degrees turned and with short curved meanders to the last Route section 45 which is turned back in the manner described continues, which leads to the end of the treatment and leaving the room.
- Another advantage of the device is that the painting, the uniform wetting and coating of those to be treated Area is made possible by a single walk on the floor.
- This Advantage is achieved with the device thanks to the doubling of the wipers means there are two wipers arranged in parallel one after the other if necessary, be pulled or pushed at an angle to the brushing direction.
- the spreading of the treatment liquid is controlled in this way that it is only distributed along the wipers, and that the one to be brushed Area is covered twice with each pass for safety.
- This type of one-time runover also applies to treatment older, partially swollen linoleum floors, which otherwise go to the Coming to shine, very labor intensive to work with, completely is sufficient.
- the advantageous behavior of the two wipers during treatment of bumps is due to the fact that they are like balance beams on the common Platform are suspended and therefore by individual pivoting adapt to the nature of the soil can.
- the low center of gravity of the sled-like construction results in a stable and pleasant sliding behavior of the device. Thanks to the fact that the Stick connection attacks in the center of gravity of the sled-like construction, and that the stem connection is made via a universal joint, the device can with easily be guided and without any balance problems from the ground be lifted off.
- the present invention has the advantage of inexpensive maintenance.
- the covering of the elastic wiper cushion with a fur cover is namely work for which there is at least in the devices of the prior art needs three hands and therefore two people. With the invention this is Problem so simplified that this work is of sufficient quality from a Person can be done without that person having any particular skill must have.
- the fur covers only meet their requirements Purpose if they remain wrinkle-free and with sufficient pre-tension are placed around the wiper cushions and thus nestle against them.
