Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flat mop cover for cleaning floors with a Cover sheet which means on the upper surface for attachment to a holder and has loops or fringes in the central area of the lower surface, according to Preamble of claim 1.
  • the The invention relates in particular to damp mop covers, that is to damp or wet cleaning of floors suitable covers.
  • the references are supposed to Absorb cleaning fluid quickly, without dripping on the floor transport, hand it over there gradually and the dirty one Cleaning fluid, the so-called dirty water quickly take up.
  • the mop covers are used from time to time washed through at higher temperatures. Another requirement is therefore in high washing stability. After all, the mop covers are supposed to be inexpensive be producible
  • the trim on the active cleaning side i.e. the underside of the cover sheet
  • Consists of the active cleaning side i.e. the underside of the cover sheet Fringes, so the cleaning performance is high, but a strong release of lint and poor sliding behavior is the result.
  • the underside of the cover sheet consists of a Sponge or non-woven cloth material in the form of several, in rows strips arranged side by side, so there is practically no fluff delivered and the cleaning performance is very high.
  • the disadvantage here however the poor gliding behavior.
  • Such a strip-like trim on the underside the cover sheet is described for example in DE 38 09 279 C1.
  • the type of fiber used for the underside of the cover sheet also influences this Cleaning result and the service life of the mop covers.
  • a high Suction power is achieved with viscose, but this material is not too suitable for frequent washing at higher temperatures.
  • Cotton is washable than viscose, but the suction power drops to a medium one Value.
  • a particularly high washing stability and thus a very high one Life is achieved with an underside of the cover sheet made of synthetic fibers. However, such a mop cover shows no suction power.
  • a mop cover according to DE 32 26 947 A1 has proven to be suitable for practice has proven particularly suitable.
  • the cover has two areas with different textile shape.
  • the middle area of the lower surface of the The cover sheet contains loops made from a mixture of synthetic fibers and cotton. They serve to absorb the dirty water with the dirt dissolved in it.
  • the fringes are used for the thorough absorption of Dirt particles in the so-called figure eight wiping process, in which only one of the two longer sides of the rectangular mop cover vome. A further increase in cleaning performance and the lifespan of one Reducing manufacturing costs would be beneficial.
  • a wiping cover is known from DE 44 27 107 A1, which has a rotating one Has wreath of equally long fringes and / or loops.
  • the choice of trim is depending on the two sizes cleaning performance and sliding properties. It will the advantages of the two types of trimmings combined with each other by open fringes to achieve a high cleaning performance and inside loops to improve the Slidability of the cover are arranged on the floor. It is also proposed arrange the loops and fringes alternately in the wreath. Essentially, the Mop cover, however, through the use of ring spun yarn to produce the fringes improved.
  • GB 2 035 064 A describes a mop cover with different fringe lengths known, an inner area with shorter fringes with a length of 30 to 40 mm and an outer area surrounding the inner area with fringes of a length of 80 mm.
  • the fringes in the middle area are juxtaposed arranged rows of seams. This area is from a circumferential seam to the Bounding down the longer fringe. All fringes are free to move, both both dry and wet. So are the outer fringes due to your Suitable for free mobility, a good cleaning result in difficult to access To achieve areas like corners.
  • the shorter fringes reduce the Resistance.
  • the technical problem underlying the invention is one inexpensive, for both dry and wet / damp Cleaning tasks to develop a suitable flat mop cover that next to a good sliding process, i.e. low friction on the ground, at the same time a particularly high cleaning performance for both water-soluble as well as for solid dirt and a long service life, so a good one Has washing stability.
  • Such a flat mop cover has the advantage that the Brush ring significantly enhances the cleaning effect due to its brushing effect. Usually the removal of hair from wet wiping surfaces is a Problem because hair literally sticks to wet surfaces. By doing Brush wreath according to the invention adhere hair very effectively.
  • the brush wreath also has the advantage that it improves the sliding properties of the cover influenced.
  • the kinking of the fringes caused by the swelling caused by moisture is quite effective with a fringe length between 2.5 and 30 mm, especially effective, however, with a length between 5 and 20 mm.
  • Ring spun yarn made from a mixture of synthetic fibers and cotton swelling is particularly strong. This is particularly true a mixture that consists of about 3 ⁇ 4 PES and about 1 ⁇ 4 cotton. Due to the strong swelling, the thread of the seam of the outer fringe band sits extremely tight in the seam. But in particular the kinking effect is the short one Fringes become more pronounced the more the fringe yarn swells.
  • the Ring spun yarn of the specified composition swells for example after 5 Washing machine washes at 60 ° by 65%.
  • the outer fringes are so long that they can move freely are. This enables a particularly good absorption of dirt and allows the penetration of the outer fringed wreath into corners and along the baseboards. It is also advantageous that it is good on the wiping surface with such a length lie on. These properties can be particularly favorable with a length reach between 20 and 100 mm. If the fringes open yarn ends have a special ability to absorb dirt.
  • the top view of the top of the flat mop cover 1 in Fig. 1 shows that Cover sheet 2 with pockets 3 for a holder of a floor mopping device.
  • a fringe wreath is arranged around the cover sheet 2, which here consists of the long fringe 7 exists.
  • the top view of the bottom of the Flat mop cover 1 in Fig. 2 shows the loops 6 and in the central area the circumferential fringe band around the middle loop area the seam 5. Inside the seam are the short fringes 4 and outside the long fringes 7 shown.
  • the fringe material preferably consists of Ring spun yarn. With ring spun yarn, the individual fibers are initially parallel aligned. The yarn obtained is then turned with the help of a real twist of a ring traveler solidified.
  • Fringes made from ring spun yarns with opposite directions are particularly advantageous Rotation are formed. Since all the individual fibers of the ring spun yarn are opposite to the individual fibers of the other yarn in the thread, the open yarn ends close automatically. It was found that the open fringes, which are formed as a thread of ring spun yarn, close especially when washing out and frequent washing out of the Counteracts dissolution of the fringe ends.
  • the design of the flat mop cover shown is very good advantageous.
  • the inner loop area 6 serves as a liquid reservoir for loading and unloading during operation.
  • the Loop area in a similar manner as through the brush ring 4 Sliding property of the cover is advantageously influenced.
  • the proposed one Flat mop covers have considerably more favorable properties than those previously used known references.
