Description

DISPOSITIF DΕSSORAGE POUR TETE DE BALAISORTING DEVICE FOR BROOM HEAD
L'invention concerne un dispositif d'essorage pour tête de balai.The invention relates to a wiper device for a broom head.
La plupart des têtes de balai utilisées pour le lavage sont munies d'un tampon amovible de nettoyage à forte capacité d'absorption d'eau. Il est donc nécessaire après rinçage, de procéder à l'essorage de ces tampons.Most mop heads used for washing have a removable cleaning pad with a high water absorption capacity. It is therefore necessary, after rinsing, to spin these pads.
Pour ce faire, on retire le tampon de nettoyage de la tête du balai pour ensuite le faire passer entre des rouleaux presseurs.To do this, the cleaning pad is removed from the head of the broom and then passed between pressing rollers.
Il apparaît que cette technique présente un grand nombre d'inconvénients.It appears that this technique has a large number of drawbacks.
Parmi ceux-ci, on note un manque d'efficacité de l'essorage, un tassement des franges du tampon et surtout une forte adhésion des salissures sur le tampon après passage entre les rouleaux presseurs, les salissures se redéposant ensuite sur la surface à nettoyer.Among these, there is a lack of spin efficiency, compaction of the fringes of the pad and above all a strong adhesion of dirt on the pad after passing between the pressure rollers, the dirt then redepositing on the surface to be cleaned. .
Pour résoudre ces inconvénients, on a proposé dans le document FR-A-2 672 791 un dispositif d'essorage de tête de balai mis en oeuvre par centrifugation et non plus par pression, permettant d'améliorer la qualité de l'essorage et d'éviter le redépôt des salissures sur le sol.To resolve these drawbacks, the document FR-A-2 672 791 has proposed a wiper head wiper device implemented by centrifugation and no longer by pressure, making it possible to improve the quality of the wiping and d '' avoid redepositing dirt on the floor.
Ce dispositif se compose d'une cuve à l'intérieur de laquelle est positionné un berceau destiné à recevoir la tête du balai, le berceau étant soumis à un mouvement de rotation par 's la'intermédiaire d'un moteur.This device consists of a tank inside which is positioned a cradle intended to receive the head of the brush, the cradle being subjected to a rotational movement by ' s la'intermediate of a motor.
Lors de l'essorage, l'utilisateur maintient le balai en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'un manchon agencé sur le manche du balai, le diamètre du manchon étant légèrement supérieure à celui du manche.During spinning, the user keeps the brush in rotation by means of a sleeve arranged on the handle of the brush, the diameter of the sleeve being slightly greater than that of the handle.
Même si cette technique d'essorage par centrifugation permet d'obtenir un très bon résultat, ce système présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients.Even if this spin-drying technique by centrifugation makes it possible to obtain a very good result, this system has a certain number of drawbacks.
II peut arriver ainsi que l'utilisateur lâche malencontreusement le manche du balai. Dans ce cas, il peut être facilement blessé, notamment au visage, par l'extrémité du manche du balai, lequel tourne généralement à une vitesse variant deIt can thus happen that the user accidentally releases the handle of the broom. In this case, he can be easily injured, especially on the face, the end of the broom handle, which generally rotates at a speed varying from
400 à 600 tours par minute. De plus, la rotation incontrôlée du balai peut très facilement engendrer la destruction au moins partielle sinon totale de la cuve.400 to 600 revolutions per minute. In addition, the uncontrolled rotation of the brush can very easily lead to at least partial, if not total, destruction of the tank.
En outre, la cuve décrite est recouverte d'un couvercle présentant une ouverture égale à la surface du berceau sur lequel est positionné la tête du balai. Il est donc possible pour l'utilisateur d'accéder facilement au berceau en mouvement pendant l'essorage, ce qui peut être dangereux, compte-tenu de la vitesse de rotation de celui-ci.In addition, the tank described is covered with a cover having an opening equal to the surface of the cradle on which the head of the broom is positioned. It is therefore possible for the user to easily access the moving cradle during spinning, which can be dangerous, given the speed of rotation thereof.
Le problème que se propose donc de résoudre l'invention est de fournir un dispositif d'essorage par centrifugation pour tête de balai, permettant de conserver une qualité d'essorage optimale, tout en s 'affranchissant des inconvénients précités.The problem which the invention therefore proposes to solve is to provide a spinning device by centrifugation for the mop head, making it possible to maintain an optimal quality of spinning, while overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks.
Pour ce faire, l'invention propose un dispositif d'essorage pour tête de balai, comprenant une cuve équipée d'un support destiné à recevoir ladite tête de balai, le support étant soumis à un mouvement de rotation apte à assurer l'essorage par centrifugation de la tête de balai.To do this, the invention provides a wiping device for mop head, comprising a tank equipped with a support intended to receive said mop head, the support being subjected to a rotational movement capable of ensuring spinning by centrifugation of the mop head.
Ce dispositif se caractérise en ce que la tête de balai et le manche présentent des organes complémentaires aptes à assurer leur désolidarisation avant essorage ou leur solidarisation après essorage, ledit organe étant actionné par le biais du support, lequel permet le maintien de la tête du balai lors de l'essorage.This device is characterized in that the mop head and the handle have complementary members capable of ensuring their separation before spinning or their attachment after spinning, said member being actuated by means of the support, which allows the maintenance of the broom head during the spin.
En d'autres termes, l'invention consiste en un système permettant la solidarisation et la désolidarisation du manche du balai par rapport à la tête du balai de façon concomitante à la mise en place de la tête du balai sur le support, sans nécessiter de geste supplémentaire.In other words, the invention consists of a system allowing the attachment and separation of the handle of the broom from the head of the broom concomitantly with the positioning of the head of the broom on the support, without requiring additional gesture.
En outre, le maintien simultané de la tête de balai sur le support lors de l'essorage, permet de renforcer la sécurité du système.In addition, the simultaneous maintenance of the mop head on the support during spinning, makes it possible to reinforce the security of the system.
Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, lesdits organes du manche se présentent sous forme d'au moins deux ouvertures diamétralement opposées, situées à l'extrémité inférieure du manche, lesdites ouvertures étant destinées à permettre le passage d'au moins deux ergots montés en opposition à chacune des deux extrémités d'une lame élastique formant ressort et tendant à écarter les deux ergots l'un de l'autre.According to a first characteristic of the invention, said members of the handle are in the form of at least two diametrically opposite openings, located at the lower end of the handle, said openings being intended to allow the passage of at least two lugs mounted in opposition to each of the two ends of an elastic blade forming a spring and tending to separate the two lugs from one another.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, les organes du manche présentent à l'extrémité inférieure dudit manche, dans un même plan vertical, de bas en haut, deux ouvertures diamétralement opposées destinées à permettre le passage de deux ergots montés en opposition à chacune des deux extrémités d'une lame élastique formant ressort et tendant à écarter les deux ergots l'un de l'autre, et deux ergots diamétralement opposés montés fixes sur ledit manche.According to another embodiment, the members of the handle have at the lower end of said handle, in the same vertical plane, from bottom to top, two diametrically opposite openings intended to allow the passage of two lugs mounted in opposition to each of the two ends of an elastic blade forming a spring and tending to separate the two lugs from one another, and two diametrically opposite lugs mounted fixed on said handle.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, lesdits organes de la tête du balai se présentent sous forme d'un cardan d'articulation présentant un alésage tubulaire destiné à recevoir le manche, dont la partie supérieure présente, ménagées dans son épaisseur, deux échancrures diamétralement opposées inclinées vers l'intérieur, formant gorges de guidage des ergots situés à l'extrémité inférieure du manche de balai, la partie médiane dudit cardan présentant deux méplats diamétralement opposés, situés dans le même plan vertical que celui des échancrures et au niveau desquels sont ménagées deux ouvertures positionnées de telle sorte à recevoir les ergots extrémaux du manche.According to another characteristic of the invention, said members of the head of the broom are in the form of an articulation gimbal having a tubular bore intended to receive the handle, the upper part of which, formed in its thickness, has two notches diametrically opposite inclined inwards, forming grooves for guiding the pins situated at the lower end of the broom handle, the middle part of said gimbal having two diametrically opposite flats, situated in the same vertical plane as that of the notches and at the level of which are made two openings positioned so as to receive the end pins of the handle.
Selon une forme particulière de réalisation, chacun des deux méplats présente de part et d'autre des ouvertures, sur la totalité de la longueur du méplat, un canal semi-cylindrique de diamètre sensiblement égal à celui des ouvertures, et situé dans la plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de révolution du cardan d'articulation.According to a particular embodiment, each of the two flats has openings on either side, over the entire length of the flat, a semi-cylindrical channel of diameter substantially equal to that of the openings, and located in the perpendicular plane to the axis of revolution of the articulation gimbal.
En d'autres termes, en position solidarisée, les deux ergots extrémaux prévus sur la partie inférieure du manche coopèrent avec les ouvertures agencées dans la partie médiane du cardan, tandis que les deux autres ergots supérieurs prévus, le cas échéant, sur le manche sont maintenus fixes dans les gorges de guidage présentes dans la partie supérieure du cardan.In other words, in the secured position, the two end pins provided on the lower part of the handle cooperate with the openings arranged in the middle part of the gimbal, while the other two upper pins provided, if necessary, on the handle are kept fixed in the guide grooves present in the upper part of the gimbal.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le support est muni d'un organe de solidarisation-désolidarisation monté fixe par rapport audit support, maintenant le cardan d'articulation coaxial avec l'axe de rotation dudit support, ledit organe étant apte à simultanément désolidariser la tête et le manche du balai, et fixer réversiblement la tête du balai sur le support.According to another characteristic of the invention, the support is provided with a fastening-disconnection member mounted fixed relative to said support, keeping the cardan joint coaxial with the axis of rotation of said support, said member being able to simultaneously separate the head and the handle of the broom, and reversibly fix the head of the broom on the support.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, ledit organe se présente sous forme d'une pièce unique en forme de U, solidarisée au support, dont les deux branches élastiques adoptent un profil plan destiné à coopérer avec les méplats ménagés dans la partie médiane du cardan d'articulation et ainsi, permettre la fixation réversible par encliquetage du manche du balai sur la tête du balai.According to a first embodiment, said member is in the form of a single U-shaped piece, secured to the support, the two elastic branches of which adopt a plane profile intended to cooperate with the flats formed in the middle part of the gimbal d 'articulation and thus, allow reversible fixing by snapping the handle of the broom on the head of the broom.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la partie centrale de chacune des branches élastiques du U subit un resserrement adoptant un profil plan, destiné à coopérer avec les méplats ménagés dans la partie médiane du cardan d'articulation, tandis que les portions respectivement inférieure et supérieure, adoptent une forme arrondie, de telle sorte à fixer réversiblement par encliquetage le cardan de part et d'autre des méplats.According to another embodiment, the central part of each of the elastic branches of the U undergoes a tightening adopting a planar profile, intended to cooperate with the flats formed in the middle part of the articulated gimbal, while the lower and upper portions respectively , adopt a rounded shape, so as to fix reversibly by snap-fastening the gimbal on either side of the flats.
Pour faciliter la désolidarisation du manche et de la tête du balai mais de façon non obligatoire, la partie centrale de chacune des deux branches présente le cas échéant une saillie linéaire positionnée de telle sorte à coopérer avec le canal semi-cylindrique correspondant, ménagé sur chacun des méplats.To facilitate the separation of the handle and the head of the broom but not in a compulsory manner, the central part of each of the two branches has, where appropriate, a linear projection positioned so as to cooperate with the corresponding semi-cylindrical channel, formed on each flats.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, ledit organe se présente sous forme de deux pièces indépendantes solidarisées au support, une première pièce rigide en forme de U, dont les branches adoptent un profil plan destiné à coopérer avec les méplats ménagés dans la partie médiane du cardan d'articulation, et une seconde pièce souple arrondie de telle sorte à fixer réversiblement par encliquetage la partieAccording to another embodiment, said member is in the form of two independent parts secured to the support, a first rigid U-shaped part, the branches of which adopt a flat profile intended to cooperate with the flats formed in the middle part of the gimbal of articulation, and a second flexible piece rounded so as to fix reversibly by snap-fastening the part
'te inférieure ou supérieure du cardan d'articulation. ' te lower or upper joint gimbal.
De même que précédemment, pour faciliter la désolidarisation du manche et de la tête du balai, chacune des branches de la première pièce rigide présente une saillie linéaire positionnée de telle sorte à coopérer avec le canal semi-cylindrique correspondant, ménagé sur chacun des méplats.As before, to facilitate the separation of the handle and the head of the brush, each of the branches of the first rigid part has a linear projection positioned so as to cooperate with the corresponding semi-cylindrical channel, formed on each of the flats.
Pour éviter tout accès à la cuve pendant les opérations d'essorage, tout en permettant de suivre les opérations, celle-ci est recouverte d'un couvercle, avantageusement transparent. En outre, pour permettre le bon positionnement de la tête du balai à la fin de l'essorage, c'est à dire faire en sorte que l'utilisateur n'ait plus qu'à tirer le manche du balai à lui après sa mise en place, le dispositif d'essorage est équipé d'un moteur pas à pas incorporant un capteur de positionnement.To avoid any access to the tank during the spinning operations, while allowing operations to be monitored, it is covered with a cover, advantageously transparent. In addition, to allow the correct positioning of the head of the mop at the end of the spin, that is to say so that the user only has to pull the handle of the mop after him put in place, the wringing device is equipped with a stepping motor incorporating a positioning sensor.

• deux ouvertures (8, 9) diamétralement opposées destinées à permettre le passage de deux ergots (10, 11) montés en opposition à chacune des deux extrémités d'une lame (12) élastique, formant ressort et tendant à écarter les deux ergots l'un de l'autre ;• two diametrically opposite openings (8, 9) intended to allow the passage of two lugs (10, 11) mounted in opposition to each of the two ends of an elastic blade (12), forming a spring and tending to separate the two lugs l 'from each other;
• deux ergots (13, 14) diamétralement opposés et montés fixes sur le manche (7).• two lugs (13, 14) diametrically opposite and fixedly mounted on the handle (7).
Selon une seconde forme de réalisation non représentée, l'extrémité inférieure (6) du manche (7) comprend, dans un même plan vertical, quatre ouvertures diamétralement opposées, permettant le passage de quatre ergots montés en opposition à chacune des deux extrémités d'une lame élastique formant ressort, et tendant à écarter les ergots l'un de l'autre.According to a second embodiment not shown, the lower end (6) of the handle (7) comprises, in the same vertical plane, four diametrically opposite openings, allowing the passage of four pins mounted in opposition to each of the two ends of an elastic blade forming a spring, and tending to separate the pins from one another.
Selon une troisième forme de réalisation, l'extrémité du manche présente uniquement deux ouvertures destinées à permettre le passage de deux ergots.According to a third embodiment, the end of the handle only has two openings intended to allow the passage of two pins.
Sur la figure 3, on a représenté le cardan d'articulation de la tête du balai, lequel est relié à ladite tête par tout moyen connu.In Figure 3, there is shown the cardan joint of the head of the brush, which is connected to said head by any known means.
Le manche du balai et donc le cardan sont articulés de manière te bidirectionnelle. Cette forme de réalisation n'est pas limitative. On peut prévoir ainsi une articulation omnidirectionnelle du cardan par rapport à la tête du balai.The broom handle and therefore the gimbal are articulated in a bidirectional manner. This embodiment is not limiting. One can thus provide an omnidirectional articulation of the gimbal relative to the head of the broom.
Le cardan d'articulation désigné par la référence générale (15) présente un alésage tubulaire (16), destiné à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure (6) du manche du balai (7).The articulation gimbal designated by the general reference (15) has a tubular bore (16), intended to receive the lower end (6) of the handle of the brush (7).
Comme illustré en figure 3, la partie supérieure (17) du cardan présente dans son épaisseur (18) deux échancrures (19) et (20) diamétralement opposées, inclinées vers l'intérieur et formant gorge de guidage des ergots (10, 11) puis des ergots (13, 14) situés à l'extrémité inférieure (6) du manche du balai (7), lors de la mise en place du manche sur le cardan d'articulation.As illustrated in FIG. 3, the upper part (17) of the gimbal has in its thickness (18) two notches (19) and (20) diametrically opposite, inclined towards the inside and forming a groove for guiding the pins (10, 11) then pins (13, 14) located at the lower end (6) of the handle of the broom (7), when the handle is placed on the articulation gimbal.
La partie médiane (21) du cardan d'articulation (15) présente deux méplats (22) et (23), diamétralement opposés et situés dans le même plan vertical que celui des échancrures (19, 20).The middle part (21) of the articulation gimbal (15) has two flats (22) and (23), diametrically opposite and located in the same vertical plane as that of the notches (19, 20).
Chacun des deux méplats (22, 23) présente en outre deux ouvertures (24, 25) aptes à recevoir les ergots extrémaux (10, 11) du manche (7) pour permettre la solidarisation du manche sur la tête du balai.Each of the two flats (22, 23) further has two openings (24, 25) adapted to receive the extreme lugs (10, 11) of the handle (7) to allow the attachment of the handle on the head of the brush.
Dans la forme de réalisation représentée mais de façon non obligatoire, chacun des méplats présente au niveau des ouvertures (24, 25) un canal semi- circulaire, situé dans la plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de révolution du cardan d'articulation, dont le diamètre est sensiblement égal au diamètre des ouvertures (24, 25).In the embodiment shown, but not necessarily, each of the flats has at the openings (24, 25) a semicircular channel, located in the plane perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the articulation gimbal, the diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the openings (24, 25).
Sur les figures 4 à 7, on a représenté l'organe de solidarisation- désolidarisation (P), monté fixe par rapport au support, maintenant le cardan d'articulation coaxial avec l'axe de rotation dudit support, ledit organe étant apte à simultanément désolidariser la tête et le manche du balai et fixer réversiblement la tête du balai sur le support.In FIGS. 4 to 7, there is shown the fastening-detaching member (P), mounted fixed relative to the support, keeping the articulation gimbal coaxial with the axis of rotation of said support, said member being capable of simultaneously detach the head and the handle of the broom and reversibly fix the head of the broom on the support.
Selon une première forme de réalisation, ledit organe se présente sous forme d'une pièce élastique unique désignée par la référence générale (26) et solidarisée au support par l'intermédiaire d'un bras (27).According to a first embodiment, said member is in the form of a single elastic piece designated by the general reference (26) and secured to the support by means of an arm (27).
Avantageusement, la pièce unique (26) est montée dans le prolongement de l'axe de rotation du support.Advantageously, the single piece (26) is mounted in the extension of the axis of rotation of the support.
La partie centrale (28) de chacune des deux branches élastiques (29, 30) subit un resserrement en adoptant un profil plan (voir figure 5).The central part (28) of each of the two elastic branches (29, 30) undergoes tightening by adopting a planar profile (see FIG. 5).
Les parties supérieure (31) et inférieure (32) des deux branches élastiques (29, 30) de la pièce (26) adoptent une forme arrondie, de sorte à fixer réversiblement par encliquetage les parties supérieure (17) et inférieure du cardan d'articulation.The upper (31) and lower (32) parts of the two elastic branches (29, 30) of the part (26) adopt a rounded shape, so as to fix reversibly by snap-fastening the upper (17) and lower parts of the articulation gimbal.
En outre, chacune des deux branches (29, 30) présente dans sa partie centrale (28) une saillie linéaire (33, 34) destinée à coopérer respectivement avec le canal correspondant, ménagé sur les méplats du cardan d'articulation.In addition, each of the two branches (29, 30) has in its central part (28) a linear projection (33, 34) intended to cooperate respectively with the corresponding channel, formed on the flats of the cardan joint.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation représentée sur la figure 7, l'organe permettant la fixation réversible de la tête du balai se présente sous forme de deux pièces indépendantes, solidarisées au support par l'intermédiaire d'un axe (27).According to another embodiment shown in Figure 7, the member for the reversible attachment of the head of the brush is in the form of two independent parts, secured to the support by means of an axis (27).
Une première pièce (35) présente une forme de U rigide dont les branches (36, 37) présentent une extrémité biseautée et adoptent un profil plan destiné à coopérer avec les méplats (22, 23) ménagés au niveau médian (21) du cardan d'articulation.A first part (35) has a rigid U shape whose branches (36, 37) have a beveled end and adopt a planar profile intended to cooperate with the flats (22, 23) formed at the median level (21) of the cardan joint. 'joint.
Avantageusement, chaque branche (36, 37) du U présente une saillie linéaire (38, 39) destinée à coopérer avec la canal correspondant ménagé sur les méplats.Advantageously, each branch (36, 37) of the U has a linear projection (38, 39) intended to cooperate with the corresponding channel formed on the flats.
En outre, une deuxième pièce indépendante souple et arrondie (40) permet la fixation réversible par encliquetage du cardan d'articulation au niveau de sa partie supérieure (17) ou de sa partie inférieure.In addition, a second independent flexible and rounded part (40) allows reversible fixing by snap-fastening the articulation gimbal at its upper part (17) or its lower part.
On a représenté sur la figure 9 un troisième mode simplifié de réalisation de l'organe de solidarisation-désolidarisation P.There is shown in Figure 9 a third simplified embodiment of the fastening-uncoupling member P.
Dans ce cas, ledit organe se présente sous forme d'une pièce élastique unique en forme de U, dont les deux branches élastiques (29,30) adoptent un profil plan destiné à coopérer avec les méplats ménagés dans la partie médiane du cardan d'articulation et ainsi permettre la fixation réversible par encliquetage du manche du balai sur la tête du balai.In this case, said member is in the form of a single elastic part in the shape of a U, the two elastic branches (29, 30) of which adopt a plane profile intended to cooperate with the flats formed in the middle part of the gimbal. articulation and thus allow reversible fixing by snapping the handle of the broom on the head of the broom.
Selon cette forme de réalisation, il est inutile de prévoir sur les branches élastiques une saillie linéaire, de même qu'il n'est pas besoin de ménager un canal correspondant sur les méplats du cardan d'articulation. Par ailleurs et selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la cuve est recouverte d'un couvercle transparent (41). Ce couvercle permet d'interdire l'accès au contenu de la cuve lors de l'opération d'essorage.According to this embodiment, there is no need to provide a linear projection on the elastic arms, just as there is no need to provide a corresponding channel on the flats of the articulation gimbal. Furthermore and according to another characteristic of the invention, the tank is covered with a transparent cover (41). This cover prevents access to the contents of the tank during the spinning operation.
De façon connue, on prévoit que le moteur s'arrête dès l'ouverture du couvercle. Avantageusement, le moteur est muni d'un capteur de positionnement permettant d'orienter en fin d'essorage la tête du balai de sorte que l'utilisateur n'ait plus qu'à tirer à lui le manche, après sa mise en place sur la tête de balai. De même, on prévoit des moyens permettant de stopper très rapidement la rotation par inertie du support, par exemple sous forme d'un système de freinage électromagnétique du support.In known manner, provision is made for the motor to stop as soon as the cover is opened. Advantageously, the motor is provided with a positioning sensor making it possible to orient the head of the broom at the end of spinning so that the user only has to pull the handle to him, after its positioning on the mop head. Likewise, means are provided making it possible to very quickly stop the inertial rotation of the support, for example in the form of an electromagnetic braking system of the support.
En pratique, lorsque l'utilisateur désire essorer la tête du balai, il positionne tout d'abord ladite tête de balai sur le support.In practice, when the user wishes to wring the head of the broom, he first positions said broom head on the support.
Il redresse ensuite le manche du balai de sorte à ce que le cardan d'articulation se bloque sur la pièce de fixation du support, laquelle permet la désolidarisation simultanée de la tête et du manche du balai.It then straightens the handle of the broom so that the articulation gimbal locks on the fixing part of the support, which allows the simultaneous separation of the head and the handle of the broom.
Plus précisément, la partie centrale (28) de la pièce (26) vient coopérer avec les méplats (22, 23) de sorte à libérer les ergots (10, 11) de l'extrémité inférieure du manche du balai. Une fois les ergots escamotés, il suffit à l'utilisateur de retirer le manche du balai. Dans le même temps, le cardan se trouve immobilisé par la partie supérieure (29) et la partie inférieure (30) arrondies de la pièce (26).More specifically, the central part (28) of the part (26) cooperates with the flats (22, 23) so as to release the pins (10, 11) from the lower end of the handle of the brush. Once the lugs are retracted, the user just has to remove the handle of the broom. At the same time, the gimbal is immobilized by the upper part (29) and the lower part (30) rounded of the part (26).
L'utilisateur peut ensuite refermer naturellement le couvercle de la cuve, de sorte qu'il ne puisse avoir accès au contenu de la cuve pendant l'opération d'essorage.The user can then naturally close the cover of the tank, so that he cannot have access to the contents of the tank during the spinning operation.
Lorsque l'essorage est terminé et après le retrait du couvercle, il suffit de présenter l'extrémité inférieure du manche du balai en regard de l'alésage du cardan d'articulation, puis d'orienter les ergots dans l'axe des rainures.When the spin is finished and after removing the cover, it suffices to present the lower end of the handle of the broom opposite the bore of the articulation gimbal, then to orient the pins in the axis of the grooves.
L'utilisateur doit alors introduire les deux séries d'ergot (10, 11) puis (13, 14) dans les gorges de guidage (19, 20) jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité du manche se trouve en butée dans le fond du cardan d'articulation, les ergots extrémaux (10, 11) se trouvant alors en regard des ouvertures correspondantes (24, 25).The user must then introduce the two series of pins (10, 11) then (13, 14) into the guide grooves (19, 20) until the end of the handle is in abutment in the bottom of the articulation gimbal, the extreme lugs (10, 11) then being located opposite the corresponding openings (24, 25).
Il est alors nécessaire le cas échéant, d'entraîner l'ensemble balai/support en rotation de sorte à ce que 1 Ouverture de la pièce de fixation se trouve en face de l'utilisateur.If necessary, it is then necessary to drive the brush / support assembly in rotation so that the opening of the fixing piece is in front of the user.
Pour libérer le balai de la pièce de fixation et simultanément solidariser le manche du balai et la tête du balai, l'utilisateur n'a alors plus qu'à basculer le manche vers lui, puis, après l'introduction effective des ergots (10, 11) dans les ouvertures (8, 9), à retirer l'ensemble du balai.To release the broom from the fixing part and simultaneously secure the broom handle and the broom head, the user then only has to tilt the handle towards him, then, after the effective insertion of the pins (10 , 11) in the openings (8, 9), to remove the entire brush.
Le dispositif d'essorage de l'invention permet en particulier d'améliorer les conditions d'utilisation d'un point de vue sécurité en évitant tout risque de blessure.The wringing device of the invention makes it possible in particular to improve the conditions of use from a safety point of view while avoiding any risk of injury.
En outre, l'invention propose un système simple à mettre en œuvre et permettant d'assurer en un seul geste la désolidarisation du manche et de la tête du balai et simultanément une fixation réversible de la tête sur le support. In addition, the invention proposes a system which is simple to implement and which makes it possible, in a single gesture, to separate the handle and the head of the brush and simultaneously a reversible fixing of the head on the support.
