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.

Description
L'invention a pour objet une platine multifonction pour nettoyeur de surfaces.The subject of the invention is a multifunction plate for surface cleaner.
Cette platine sert de support par exemple à une housse textile tissée ou non qui est utilisée pour nettoyer et frotter les surfaces, et la platine est montée à l'extrémité d'un manchon ou d'une poignée, avantageusement à l'aide d'une articulation à rotule comme on le voit notamment dans le US-A 4,070,726. Cette pièce souple textile doit être fixée à ce support de façon amovible pour être aisément remplacée et essorée et elle doit y être maintenue solidement.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.
On connaít une solution qui consiste à réaliser une housse formée d'une base rectangulaire dont les deux petits cotés sont repliés pour constituer des poches de fixation destinées à coiffer les extrémités du support, lequel support est réalisé en deux demi parties articulées autour d'un axe pour permettre l'introduction du support dans la poche textile, ou son extraction hors de la poche.We know a solution which consists in carrying out a cover formed by a rectangular base of which the two small sides are folded to form fixing pockets intended to cover the ends of the support, which support is made in two half parts articulated around an axis to allow the introduction of the support in the textile pocket, or its extraction from the pocket.
D'autres systèmes de maintien d'un textile sur un support sont assurés par des pièces souples, par exemple du type accroche-torchon, disposées par dessus la platine, et le textile qui est rabattu sur les quatre côtés est ainsi maintenu en enveloppant son support, comme par exemple dans le US-A 4,852,210.Other systems for holding a textile on a support are provided by flexible parts, for example towel hook type, arranged above the plate, and the textile which is folded over on the four sides is thus maintained by wrapping its support, as for example in US-A 4,852,210.
Il existe aussi des dispositifs à plateau support pouvant recevoir des housses à élastique, mais pour leur positionnement, le plateau est habituellement de forme trapézoïdale.There are also support plate devices that can receive elastic covers, but for their positioning, the tray is usually trapezoidal.
Enfin plus simplement on sait qu'il est possible de fixer sur la semelle d'un support une bande textile sur laquelle pourra être rapportée une plaque textile auto-agrippante.Finally, more simply, we know that it is possible to fix a textile strip on the sole of a support which can be attached a self-gripping textile plate.
Chacun de ces modes de fixation nécessite donc un support de type particulier qui lui soit adapté, et ces différents systèmes ne sont pas toujours d'un maniement très facile.Each of these fixing methods therefore requires a support of a particular type adapted to it, and these different systems are not always very easy to use.
L'invention apporte une solution nouvelle à ces difficultés grâce à une platine universelle, apte à recevoir tous types de nettoyeur de surfaces, leur remplacement et leur fixation étant en outre plus aisés pour l'utilisateur.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.
L'invention a donc pour objet une platine multifonction pour nettoyeur de surfaces qui est constituée d'une plaque de forme générale rectangulaire équipée de moyens de préhension et de manipulation ainsi que de moyens de fixation de pièces textiles, lesdits moyens de préhension et de manipulation, entre d'une part le manche à balai ou la poignée de maintien, et d'autre part une tige centrale liée à la plaque, étant interchangeables et il y a une pluralité de moyens de fixation de divers types de pièces textiles, les dits moyens étant :
- sur la semelle inférieure de la platine, des parties planes pour des bandes auto-agrippantes.
- sur la face supérieure de la platine au moins des mécanismes de serrage coopérant avec des fenêtres ou alvéoles de la plaque pour le maintien de tous types de pièces à bords rabattus et des trous adaptés à des systèmes à bouton pression pour agrafes de fixation.
- on the lower sole of the plate, flat parts for hook-and-loop strips.
- on the upper face of the plate at least clamping mechanisms cooperating with windows or cells of the plate for holding all types of parts with folded edges and holes adapted to press button systems for fastening clips.
Selon une première caractéristique principale de l'invention, les moyens de préhension et de manipulation interchangeables comprennent une articulation pivotant sur la tige qui est équipée de deux lames souples pour désolidariser le manche ou la poignée, de la platine.According to a first main characteristic of the invention, 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.
Selon une autre caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le mécanisme de serrage est constitué d'une lame profilée coopérant avec au moins une fenêtre centrale et deux alvéoles latérales prévues sur la face supérieure de la plaque, la lame étant profilée en forme de voûte dont les extrémités des ailes latérales se placent dans les alvéoles et un système de clipsage de la lame dans la fenêtre centrale étant prévu au centre de la lame.According to another particular characteristic of the invention, 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.
D'autres caractéristiques particulières et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'exemples de réalisation, faisant référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent :
- figures 1 et 2 des vues en perspective respectivement de la face supérieure et de la face inférieure de la platine multifonction,

La platine montrée sur les figures se présente comme
une plaque 1 de forme générale rectangulaire percée en son
centre d'une ouverture traversante 2. De part et d'autre de
celle-ci, sur la face supérieure 3 de la platine, sont
prévus deux talons profilés 4 entre lesquels s'étend une
tige 5 d'accrochage d'un manche non représenté. La semelle
inférieure 6 (figure 2) de la platine est creusée
d'évidements 7 au droit des talons 4. Sur les cotés de la
semelle, deux parties longitudinales planes encadrent les
évidements et servent à recevoir des bandes auto-agrippantes
8.The plate shown in the figures looks like
a
La plaque 1 est traversée à chaque extrémité d'un trou
ovale 16. Entre le trou et le talon voisin 4, la face
supérieure 3 de la plaque est creusée d'une fenêtre centrale
9 et de deux alvéoles latérales 10 qui, dans le cas
représenté, ont un profil rectangulaire.
La fenêtre et les alvéoles qui équipent ainsi la face
supérieure de la platine, de part et d'autre des talons 4,
servent au positionnement d'un mécanisme de serrage
constitué d'une lame 11 représentée à la figure 3. Cette
lame avantageusement réalisée en matière plastique est
profilée en forme de voûte, et ses ailes latérales 12 sont
pourvues aux extrémités sur leur face inférieure, de
bossages 13 destinés à se loger dans les alvéoles 10.
Perpendiculairement à la partie centrale de la lame, du coté
de sa concavité, se développent deux barrettes élastiques 14
terminées par des ergots 15. En pinçant les barrettes, on
arrive aisément à les introduire dans la fenêtre centrale 9.
Grâce aux ergots 15, il y a clipsage de la lame de serrage
sur la face supérieure de la plaque 1. Du fait de
l'élasticité de la lame les bossages d'extrémité 13 exercent
une certaine pression sur la plaque qui permet de maintenir
aisément les rabats d'une housse textile de n'importe quel
type, la platine rectangulaire permettant ainsi de recevoir
des nettoyeurs de surfaces ayant une découpe quelconque.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
Le maniement de la lame de serrage est extrêmement simple, chacune pouvant en outre être montée dans n'importe quel sens sur l'une ou l'autre des extrémités de la platine.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.
De plus la tige 5 centrale, entre les deux talons 4,
autorise le démontage rapide d'une articulation classique à
rotule pour un manche de balai, ou encore d'une simple
poignée de manipulation quand on souhaite utiliser la
platine sans son manche.In addition, the
Les figures 4 et 5a montrent justement un système de
clipsage simple d'un manche à balai 17 (partie gauche) ou
d'une poignée de maintien 18 (partie droite), sur ladite
tige centrale 5. Le système de clipsage utilise, entre le
manche ou la poignée et la tige une articulation 19 montée
pivotante sur la tige 5, qui est équipée en son centre de
deux lames souples 20 susceptibles d'être rapprochées l'une
de l'autre par pincement au niveau de la base 21 des lames
pour désolidariser le manche ou la poignée, de
l'articulation. Dans leur partie centrale, les lames 20
portent des ergots 22 pouvant coulisser dans des guides de
positionnement 23 qui font partie d'un manchon support 24 du
manche à balai 17 ou de la poignée 18. On comprend en se
référant à la figure 4 que le pincement des lames à leur
base 21 fait échapper les ergots 22 hors des guides 23, ce
qui permet une interchangeabilité rapide entre les deux
dispositifs de maintien.Figures 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
A la figure 5b est montrée une variante de
l'articulation 19 dont la bordure extérieure est pourvue de
petits ergots de clipsage 35 permettant le verrouillage de
la poignée ou du manche en position de rangement. On prévoit
avantageusement, au droit de chaque ergot, un trou 36 prévu
dans la paroi de l'articulation ce qui augmente la
flexibilité de cette dernière et permet d'encaisser plus
aisément l'encliquetage sur l'ergot.In FIG. 5b is shown a variant of
the
Selon encore une autre variante simplifiée et non représentée des moyens de préhension et de manipulation de la platine, on prévoit une douille filetée encliquetée à demeure sur l'articulation, douille sur laquelle est vissé soit le manche, soit la poignée. On peut aussi avoir une poignée qui forme la douille elle-même et qui est encliquetée, et qui peut recevoir le manche par vissage.According to yet another simplified variant and not shown means for gripping and handling the plate, there is a threaded sleeve snapped in remains on the joint, socket on which is screwed either the handle or the handle. We can also have a handle which forms the socket itself and which is latched, and which can receive the handle by screwing.
De même, on peut prévoir une liaison poignée (ou manche) fixe par rapport à la platine pour son utilisation à la manière d'une taloche ou encore une liaison avec une rotation possible autour de l'axe ou deux rotations possibles autour de l'axe et de l'articulation.Likewise, a handle connection (or handle) 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.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation illustrée aux
figures 6,7 et 8, la tige centrale fixe 5 est remplacée par
un axe profilé 29 déplaçable longitudinalement par rapport à
la plaque 1, entre les deux talons 4, l'axe étant rappelé
par un ressort 25. On remarque à la figure 8 que l'axe est
pourvu de méplats 26 orientés verticalement par rapport à la
face supérieure de la plaque. Une articulation 27 visible à
la figure 7 est profilée à sa partie inférieure et pourvue
d'échancrures 28 espacées comme les méplats 26. Pour
l'introduction de la platine sur l'axe 29, il suffit de
déplacer ce dernier à l'encontre de la force du ressort 25
pour que les méplats se trouvent en face des échancrures,
puis une fois l'articulation en place, l'axe est relâché et
se déplace grâce au ressort pour verrouiller la platine.
L'articulation 27, comme dans le cas précédent sert de
support à un manche à balai ou à une poignée de maintien. En
variante non représentée, on pourrait utiliser un axe
clipsable au lieu de l'axe profilé.According to another alternative embodiment illustrated in
Figures 6,7 and 8, the fixed
Plus simplement encore, on peut envisager une poignée
fixe qui-serait directement clipsable sur la tige centrale 5
de la platine.Even more simply, we can consider a handful
fixed which would be directly clipable on the
On voit ainsi que la multifonctionnalité de la platine s'applique non seulement à la fixation des pièces textiles, mais aussi à celle de ses moyens de préhension et de manipulation.We can thus see that the multifunctionality of the plate applies not only to the fixing of textile parts, but also to that of its means of grasping and handling.
En ce qui concerne les pièces destinées au nettoyage proprement dit, rapportées sur la platine multifonction, en dehors du système de serrage décrit plus haut en référence à la figure 3, on peut aussi mettre à profit les bandes auto-agrippantes 8 pour fixer directement à la platine un habituel tampon nettoyeur rectangulaire.Regarding parts intended for cleaning proper, reported on the multifunction plate, in outside the tightening system described above with reference to Figure 3, we can also take advantage of the Velcro straps 8 to directly attach a usual rectangular cleaning pad.
Enfin les deux trous ovales 16 peuvent recevoir un
bouton pression classique pour une housse équipée d'agrafes
de fixation correspondantes. Le profil ovale des trous
permet l'introduction plus aisée du bouton-pression, et le
grand axe du trou ovale est avantageusement orienté dans le
sens longitudinal de la plaque. En variante les trous
pourraient avoir aussi une forme carrée, hexagonale ou toute
forme non parfaitement circulaire comme l'est un bouton-pression.Finally the two
Pour faciliter l'introduction du bouton-pression, on peut prévoir de créer sur au moins un côté une ou deux parois facilement déformables, selon une direction privilégiée, de manière à diminuer l'effort nécessaire à l'utilisateur pour clipser la pression dans la platine ou la déclipser. La flexibilité de la structure ainsi obtenue fiabilise en outre la durée de vie du produit. A l'état repos, la dimension du trou dans l'axe longitudinal de la platine est supérieure au diamètre de la pression métallique, la dimension perpendiculaire étant inférieure à ce même diamètre.To facilitate the insertion of 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. In the state rest, 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.
Au montage, les parois se déforment jusqu'à ce que la dimension du trou soit égale au diamètre de la pression, puis ces parois se resserrent tout en exerçant une contrainte sur la pression pour sécuriser le maintien de la housse textile pendant l'utilisation.During assembly, 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.
La démarche reste valable pour un trou polygonal.The approach remains valid for a polygonal hole.
Ces trous qui traversent complètement la plaque 1
peuvent aussi servir au clipsage, sous la semelle inférieure
6 de la platine, d'un support éponge 30 tel que montré à la
figure 9.These holes which completely cross the
Enfin les figures 10a et 11 illustrent une variante de
réalisation de la lame de serrage 11 représentée à la figure
3. Dans cette variante la lame 11 est creusée d'une
échancrure centrale 31 encadrée de deux bordures
longitudinales souples 32. Deux leviers rigides 33 se
développent dans l'échancrure à partir des extrémités de la
lame, à proximité des bossages 13. Sous chaque levier,
sensiblement en son milieu, est prévue une petite nervure 34
qui déborde légèrement sous le plan formé par les bordures
32. Enfin il y a sous chaque bordure 32, deux petites
barrettes élastiques 14 qui sont destinées à pénétrer dans
deux fenêtres centrales voisines 9 (au lieu de la fenêtre
unique représentée à la figure 1) de la plaque 1, pour le
verrouillage de la lame de serrage. Quand celle-ci est en
place sur la plaque pour maintenir une pièce textile, les
nervures 34 sont en appui sur la face supérieure 3 de la
platine. Pour déverrouiller ladite lame, il est aisé
d'appuyer sur les leviers 33, et grâce aux points de
pivotement constitués par les nervures 34, les extrémités de
la lame 11 se dégagent aisément des alvéoles latérales 10 de
la plaque 1 (figure 1).Finally Figures 10a and 11 illustrate a variant of
production of the
Selon une variante de réalisation illustrée à la
figure 10b, le mécanisme de serrage est assuré par deux
leviers rigides 33 en forme de L montés sur des lames 11.
Sur la partie droite de la figure on voit que le creux du
levier est en appui contre un pontet 37 solidaire de la
platine. Quand on le bascule dans le sens de la flèche
autour du point X, le bossage 13 d'extrémité libère l'espace
sous le pontet, permettant la mise en place du textile. En
partie de gauche, le bossage 13 du levier 33 pince le
textile contre le pontet.According to an alternative embodiment illustrated in
Figure 10b, the clamping mechanism is provided by two
rigid L-shaped
Selon encore une autre variante non représentée, la
lame de serrage 11 pourrait être réalisée comme une lame
"cloquante" pouvant être actionnée rapidement en son centre
afin de dégager les bossages hors de leurs alvéoles.According to yet another variant not shown, the
