Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a multifunction plate for surface cleaner.
  • This plate serves as a support for example to a cover woven or non-woven fabric that is used to clean and rub the surfaces, and the plate is mounted at the end a sleeve or a handle, advantageously using a ball joint as seen in particular in the US-A 4,070,726.
  • This flexible textile piece must be fixed to this support removably to be easily replaced and wrung out and must be held securely.
  • the invention provides a new solution to these difficulties thanks to a universal plate, suitable for receiving all types of surface cleaner, their replacement and their attachment being further easier for the user.
  • the gripping and handling means interchangeable include a swivel joint on the rod which is equipped with two flexible blades for disconnect the handle or the handle from the plate.
  • the clamping mechanism consists of a profiled blade cooperating with at least one central window and two lateral cells provided on the upper face of the plate, the blade being profiled in the form of arch whose ends of the lateral wings are placed in the cells and a blade clipping system in the central window being provided in the center of the blade.
  • the plate shown in the figures looks like a plate 1 of generally rectangular shape pierced with sound center of a through opening 2. On either side of the latter, on the upper face 3 of the plate, are provided two profiled heels 4 between which extends a rod 5 for hooking a handle not shown.
  • the sole lower 6 (figure 2) of the plate is hollowed out of recesses 7 at the right of the heels 4.
  • two flat longitudinal parts frame the recesses and used to receive hook-and-loop tapes 8.
  • Plate 1 is crossed at each end of a hole oval 16. Between the hole and the neighboring heel 4, the face upper 3 of the plate is hollowed out of a central window 9 and two lateral cells 10 which, in the case shown, have a rectangular profile.
  • the window and the cells which equip the face upper of the plate, on either side of the heels 4, are used for positioning a clamping mechanism consisting of a blade 11 shown in Figure 3.
  • This blade advantageously made of plastic is profiled in the shape of an arch, and its lateral wings 12 are provided at the ends on their underside with bosses 13 intended to be housed in the cells 10.
  • two elastic bars develop 14 terminated by lugs 15.
  • lugs 15 By pinching the bars, we can easily insert them into the central window 9. Thanks to lugs 15, the clamping blade is clipped on the upper face of the plate 1. Because of the elasticity of the blade the end bosses 13 exert a certain pressure on the plate which makes it possible to maintain easily the flaps of a textile cover of any type, the rectangular plate thus allowing to receive surface cleaners with any cutout.
  • the handling of the clamping blade is extremely simple, each of which can also be mounted in any which direction on one or the other of the ends of the plate.
  • the central rod 5, between the two heels 4 allows rapid disassembly of a conventional joint at ball head for a broom handle, or even a simple handling handle when you want to use the platinum without its handle.
  • FIGs 4 and 5a precisely show a system of simple clipping of a joystick 17 (left part) or a holding handle 18 (right part), on said central rod 5.
  • the clipping system uses, between the handle or handle and the stem a hinge 19 mounted swivel on the rod 5, which is equipped in its center with two flexible blades 20 capable of being brought together on the other by pinching at the base 21 of the blades to separate the handle or the handle, the joint.
  • the blades 20 carry lugs 22 which can slide in guides positioning 23 which are part of a support sleeve 24 of the broomstick 17 or handle 18.
  • the pinching of the blades at their base 21 makes the pins 22 escape from the guides 23, this which allows rapid interchangeability between the two holding devices.
  • FIG. 5b is shown a variant of the joint 19 whose outer edge is provided with small clipping lugs 35 allowing the locking of handle or handle in storage position.
  • a hole 36 provided in the wall of the joint which increases the flexibility of the latter and allows to collect more easily snap on the lug.
  • a handle connection fixed relative to the plate for its use at like a trowel or a bond with a possible rotation around the axis or two rotations possible around the axis and the joint.
  • the fixed central rod 5 is replaced by a profiled axis 29 movable longitudinally relative to the plate 1, between the two heels 4, the axis being recalled by a spring 25.
  • the axis is provided with flats 26 oriented vertically with respect to the upper side of the plate.
  • a joint 27 visible at Figure 7 is profiled at its lower part and provided notches 28 spaced apart like the flats 26.
  • the articulation 27, as in the previous case serves to support for a broom handle or a handle.
  • the two oval holes 16 can receive a classic snap button for a cover fitted with staples corresponding fasteners.
  • the oval profile of the holes allows easier insertion of the press button, and the major axis of the oval hole is advantageously oriented in the longitudinal direction of the plate.
  • the holes could also be square, hexagonal or any not perfectly circular in shape like a snap.
  • the press button can plan to create on at least one side one or two easily deformable walls, in one direction privileged, so as to reduce the effort required to user to clip the pressure into the platen or the unclip.
  • the flexibility of the structure thus obtained also improves the product's lifespan.
  • the dimension of the hole in the longitudinal axis of the platinum is greater than the pressure diameter metallic, the perpendicular dimension being less than this same diameter.
  • the walls are deformed until the dimension of the hole is equal to the diameter of the pressure, then these walls tighten while exerting a pressure constraint to secure the maintenance of the textile cover during use.
  • FIGs 10a and 11 illustrate a variant of production of the clamping blade 11 shown in the figure 3.
  • the blade 11 is hollowed out with a central notch 31 framed by two borders flexible longitudinal 32.
  • Two rigid levers 33 develop in the notch from the ends of the blade, near the bosses 13.
  • a small rib 34 is provided which projects slightly under the plane formed by the borders 32.
  • two small elastic bars 14 which are intended to penetrate into two neighboring central windows 9 (instead of the window single shown in Figure 1) of plate 1, for the locking of the clamping blade.
  • the ribs 34 are supported on the upper face 3 of the platinum.
  • the clamping mechanism is provided by two rigid L-shaped levers 33 mounted on blades 11.
  • the hollow of the lever abuts against a trigger guard 37 secured to the platinum.
  • the end boss 13 frees up space under the trigger guard, allowing the placement of the textile.
  • the boss 13 of the lever 33 pinches the textile against the trigger guard.
  • the clamping blade 11 could be made as a blade "blistering" can be activated quickly in its center in order to clear the bosses out of their cells.
