Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning tool according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cleaning tool is known from DE-A-38 21 857 in the form of a plush-like cleaning cloth.
  • the absorbent threads here consist of twisted polyester fibers.
  • the threads have capillary action and water absorption capacity due to the narrow gaps between the parallel, adjacent fibers. You can wet the surface to be cleaned and then take up dirty water again.
  • the stronger cleaning component consists of crimped threads.
  • the threads are untwisted from their ends due to the crimp, the fibers become independent.
  • the crimped fibers become when pressing and moving the cleaning cloth not simply dragged along the length of the surface to be cleaned, but with transverse, at least sloping and corresponding scraping sections.
  • the pile threads are welded into the basic structure of the plush-like cleaning cloth anchored.
  • DE-A-27 26 485 relates to a textile fabric for cleaning purposes and deals with the problem of such cloths sticking to the floor.
  • the water-absorbing cotton tends to do this.
  • it is proposed to cover a base fabric or a similar absorbent, water-absorbing layer with a velvet or plush fabric or to anchor fine bristles to the base fabric in a comparable arrangement by means of a porous adhesive layer.
  • the dense arrangement of the fine bristles there are capillary spaces between them, which themselves are not capable of absorbing water, which create a line connection for water to be dispensed and dirty water to be taken up between the surface of the floor and the reservoir made available in the base fabric.
  • the function of wet cleaning is retained.
  • the velvet or plush bristles made of non-water-absorbent material prevent them from sucking up. In between, individual wick-like, absorbent threads should be arranged.
  • a dust, polishing or dry cleaning cloth should also be composed of two types of thread. It is proposed that chemical fiber threads with a roughened, fluffy surface run in the warp or weft direction, are arranged parallel to these cotton threads and the diameter of the chemical fiber threads is larger than the diameter of the cotton threads.
  • the fabric should have a rib structure with dust collecting spaces lying between the ribs.
  • the Cleaning glove is especially intended for cleaning motor vehicles.
  • One side is for cleaning the metal, glass and plastic surfaces suitable pile material.
  • the other side is with slanted bristles occupied to clean the upholstery.
  • the pile here is made up of shrinkable and non-shrinkable pile fibers.
  • the purpose of the different shrinkage is to achieve a different end length. With the different end lengths, either patterns for upholstery fabrics and carpets formed by indentations are to be created, or artificial fur in which the shrunk pile fibers form the lower fur.
  • An artificial fur as cleaning textile is known from DE-A-28 44 185. It should be used on a window cleaning device, wrapped in several layers. His hair should have a hardness tearing open the dirt film.
  • US-A-5,142,727 relates to a scrubbing cloth for Carpets, which means a more thorough cleaning of a carpet allowed.
  • the scrubbing cloth consists of a combination of one Carpet cleaning cloth and a brush, which areas which is specifically designed for the inclusion of Cleaning liquid are suitable, and those that primarily have a brush function.
  • the cleaning cloth of US-A-5,142,727 consists of two identical cloths, the inside of which are connected are. Each cloth has a basic fabric made of one Polypropylene fabric. Stripes are in this fabric Absorption of the cleaning liquid and between them Strips with fibers with an abrasive effect are provided.
  • the areas for absorbing the cleaning liquid are off a polyester / viscose yarn, and the areas with Brushing effects are made from a variety of polypropylene monofilament fibers manufactured. The latter only own a low flexural strength.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cleaning tool for use to provide particularly heavy soiling.
  • a brush has been modified to work with absorbent threads has been provided and thus also the water-releasing and Has received water and dirt-absorbing properties of a textile material.
  • the brush-like component is no more textile thread.
  • the cleaning tool can be used as a brush with a stiff back plate that can be gripped by hand be made of plastic in which the absorbent threads and the brush-like component are anchored.
  • the brush-like Component consists of plastic monofilaments of such a length and bending stiffness as well as stocking density, that the ends at least partially under normal force essentially brush over the surface to be cleaned, i.e. not with hang up a section of their length. You leave produce with absolutely reproducible dimensions and material properties.
  • the monofilaments have a structured surface.
  • the monofilaments can also be used for cleaning purposes in working positions made in which their ends fold. Then the structuring scrapes.
  • the proposal particularly concerns rougher floor surfaces, at least those with depressions.
  • little or no curved monofilaments should protrude into the depressions and grasp the bottom of the wells with their tips while in the area and also bent monofilaments in the higher edge areas of the depressions structuring their surface.
  • the structuring can be achieved on thermoformed monofilaments made of thermoplastic material, for example immediately after extrusion through air nozzles acting from the sides. However, it could also be created as a roughening by an abrasive treatment.
  • the monofilaments will have a length of 7 to 15 mm, preferably about 10 to 12 mm.
  • the monofilaments have a diameter of 0.3 to 1.0 mm, preferably 0.5 to 0.8 mm, and a stocking density of 50 to 200, preferably 70 to 150, per cm 2 .
  • the proportion of monofilaments may be 5 to 50%, usually between 10 and 40%, of the total number of absorbent threads and monofilaments.
  • Another aspect is, with different structure regarding Material selection, length, diameter, surface structuring and stocking density of the Monofilament and possibly a set of cleaning tools with regard to the absorbent threads to create the graded in their properties and for different levels of pollution and / or floors or other surfaces are optimized.
  • This set is primarily intended for a set of fabrics for a cleaning device.
  • the variants cleaning pillow, cleaning glove or covering of a cleaning device in one assortment are possible side by side. Gradually they can also be designed differently.
  • the brush with a graspable rigid back plate is the hardest cleaning tool, the cleaning pad is a bit softer and the cleaning glove is a bit softer.
  • the force is distributed over a larger area; either a smaller proportion of even harder brush-like components or a larger proportion of softer brush-like components may be provided here.
  • the double plush process is primarily considered for production in textile technology; the monofilaments are worked into a base fabric together with the absorbent threads as a pile. They should be anchored in the base fabric by welding, for which purpose, for example, weldable fibers can be contained in the material of the base fabric in a manner known per se.
  • the monofilaments are held firmly in the whitened fabric. They cannot push backwards despite the considerable force with which they are supported in the tissue due to their stiffness. Due to the welding, the monofilaments are also completely bordered on their entire circumference, so that bending moments are completely transferred into the fabric and the monofilaments cannot kink with respect to the base fabric.
  • the base fabric can be made stiff enough to hold the bending forces. Instead of welding, gluing is also possible by means of a finish applied to the back.
  • a non-woven basic structure such as a Knitted or knitted fabrics in which the monofilaments as well as the absorbent threads e.g. can be classified. You can also do this by welding or gluing be anchored.
  • the absorbent threads and monofilaments are essentially equally long and arranged in an even distribution.
  • the absorbent threads can be made of cotton or in a manner known per se spun polyester fibers exist.
  • Fig. 1 shows a back plate 1 made of plastic, which is retracted in the middle to be grasped here by hand.
  • a belt 2 extends obliquely across the width of the plastic plate at the retraction. The hand can be pushed under with the fingers, the thumb remains in front of it.
  • the plastic plate 1 twisted, absorbent threads 3 and, in comparison, rigid monofilaments 4 are anchored by casting.
  • the pile of absorbent threads 3 moistens the dirt on the surface to be cleaned and later takes up dirty water and larger dirt particles.
  • the monofilaments 4 scrape the adhering dirt off the surface to be cleaned like a brush. In this way, heavy soiling, including grease, can be removed.
  • the pile fabric shown in Fig. 2 consists in a manner known per se from a Base fabric 5 from warp threads 6 and weft threads 7 to the twisted, absorbent threads 8 and comparatively rigid monofilaments 9 are beaten as a pole.
  • the pole is in that Basic fabric welded.
  • the welding of a monofilament 9 is indicated at 10.
  • a cleaning tool made from the polypropylene, in particular a cleaning pad, a cleaning glove or a covering of a cleaning device works in principle in the same way as the cleaning tool according to Fig. 1. It is a brush combined with a cleaning plush.
