Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cleaning and drying device for windows, furniture and the like having surfaces with clean from time to time.
  • the invention applies in particular to the cleaning of vehicle windows automobiles or shop windows.
  • cleaning devices comprising a plate rigid or semi-rigid provided, on one side, with a gripping means and, on the other side, a cleaning pad.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks by proposing a device allowing the simultaneous cleaning and drying of easy and effortless, without leaving traces on cleaned surfaces dirt spread by the device.
  • the cleaning and drying device for windows, furniture and the like of the type comprising a rigid or semi-rigid plate provided, on one side, with a grip knob and, on the other side, a cleaning pad
  • the cleaning pad is removably attached to the corresponding side of the plate so as to be interchangeable and is constituted by a pad comprising a layer of hydrophilic material and a closed pocket enveloping the hydrophilic layer and consisting of a veil of non-woven material permeable to cleaning liquid and having abrasive properties.
  • the cushion pocket has, on one of its faces external, an adhesive material used to fix the pad to the plate and protected, before fixing the pad to the plate, by a protective strip removable.
  • the adhesive material is applied hot to the pocket of the following pad one or more threads, continuous or discontinuous, extending longitudinally at pad.
  • the hydrophilic layer of the pad is cellulose wadding and the veil of the pocket of the cushion is based on polypropylene or polyester.
  • the protective strip for the adhesive material is made of paper. silicone.
  • a sheet of polyethylene film is arranged in the part upper pocket to protect the adhesive material from alcohol be contained in the cleaning liquid absorbed in the hydrophilic layer.
  • the pad is removably attached to the face rigid or semi-rigid plate with repositionable adhesive material applied on this face along one or more threads, continuous or discontinuous, or in one or more series of looped lines.
  • a sheet of polyethylene film is fixed to the face of the pad to be fixed to the face of the rigid or semi-rigid plate so increase the strength of the adhesive and act as a barrier to the cleaning fluid absorbed in the hydrophilic layer.
  • the pad is removably attached to the face of the rigid or semi-rigid plate by a Velcro type connection.
  • the cleaning device comprises a plate 1 of slightly rigid or semi-rigid material flexible, for example in a plastic material based on polystyrene and on a face of which can be removably attached a pad 3 allowing the simultaneous cleaning and drying of a surface, such as for example a window, a window, a showcase of a goodwill or a windshield of motor vehicle.
  • the plate 1 comprises on its face 4 opposite to the face 2 which can be provided bearing 3, a knob 5 forming a grip handle and cleaning device operation.
  • the knob 5 and the plate 1 constitute two parts made of a synthetic material different, but they could form a single piece made, for example, by injection molding.
  • the knob 5 has recessed reliefs forming an attachment surface ensuring good grip of the device by the user's hand.
  • An elongated cavity or recess 6 is produced in the face 4 of the plate 1 and is intended to receive the index finger of the hand of the user holding the knob 5 so as to facilitate the application of the device and its operation on the surface to be cleaned. Footprint 6 can have asperities preventing the index finger from sliding into this footprint.
  • Plate 1 has the general shape of a rectangle whose angles can be more or less rounded as shown in the figures to facilitate the cleaning in places that are difficult to access such as the corners of the vehicle windshield.
  • the cleaning pad 3 comprises a layer of hydrophilic material 7 and a closed pocket 8 enveloping the layer 7 and which consists of a veil relatively thin nonwoven material capable of being traversed by a cleaning fluid.
  • the veil of pocket 8 also has the advantage of have abrasive properties and, due to its texture, can give the device a good sliding effect on the surface to be cleaned with so the advantage of lightly scratching the dirt on this surface and retaining, in holes in the veil, dirt dissolved in the cleaning fluid.
  • the veil of the pocket 8 is based on polypropylene or polyester.
  • the hydrophilic layer 7 is preferably cellulose wadding. known for its very strong absorbency, gradually impregnating cleaning liquid and having a drying action on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the pocket 8 has on its upper face than that opposite its cleaning face, an adhesive material constituted, as represented by several broken lines or lines 9 of glue applied to warm in the longitudinal direction of the generally shaped pad 3 rectangular adapting to the shape of the plate 1 when attached to it.
  • the adhesive material can be applied differently, for example in the form of a wide strip, continuous or discontinuous, and be an adhesive repositionable.
  • the adhesive material 9 is covered by a strip of protection 10, preferably based on silicone paper, thus protecting the adhesive material before using the pad 3.
  • the cleaning pad 3 is provided with a film sheet.
  • polyethylene 11 located in the pocket 8 between the hydrophilic layer 7 and the upper part of the veil to which the adhesive material 9 is applied, so as to protect the adhesive material 9 from the alcohols which may be contained in window cleaners that destroy most glues standards.
  • the assembly constituted by the plate 1 and the bearing 3 is sold in a same packaging and to use the cleaning device, the user removes packaging plate 1 and pad 3, then remove the protective tape 10 to expose the adhesive material of the pocket 8 and apply the pad 3 on the face 2 of the plate 1 to fix the pad 3 to the latter by gluing.
  • the nonwoven material veil of the pocket 8 has a mechanical action of cleaning and is, by definition, inert and lets the cleaning fluid through while retaining dirt. Simultaneously, the interior of the pocket 8 in cellulose wadding gradually impregnates with the cleaning liquid and has the desired action for drying the glass.
  • the pad 3 is removably attached to the face 2 of the plate 1 by an adhesive material repositionable 12 applied to the face 2 of the plate 1 along two threads or continuous parallel strips 13 extending longitudinally of the plate 1 the along it.
  • Repositionable adhesive material 12 can be applied along a single central net or strip with a width of up to that of plate 1 by extending along it or in one or more threads or discontinuous bands.
  • This repositionable adhesive can be deposited on the plate 1 by fiberization by forming one or more curly lines of glue.
  • a sheet of polyethylene film 14 is fixed to the face upper of the bearing to be fixed to the face 2 of the plate 1 so as to increase the strength of the glue, i.e. make the fixing of the pad 3 to plate 1 and to act as a barrier to absorbed cleaning liquid in the hydrophilic layer 7 of the pad 3.
  • the pad 3 is removably attached to the face 2 of the plate 1 by a Velcro type connection comprising a sheet 15 secured to the upper face of the pad 3 and provided with projecting parts forming hooks and an integral sheet 16 of the face 2 of the plate 1 and provided with loops to which will hang by pressing the hooks of the sheet 15.
  • the device of the invention described above effectively cleans any surface to clean using all types of cleaning products and provides a excellent comfort thanks to the flexibility of the cellulose wadding layer a certain thickness which also makes it possible to exert a uniform pressure of cleaning thanks to the grip plate.
  • the device allows a faster cleaning than previously known devices due to the fact that the surface cleaned on each pass is larger.
  • the pad can be changed by another one as often as necessary, the used cushion then being discarded.
  • the device of the invention can be arranged by choosing components responding better to certain applications, changing by example the characteristics of the fleece in nonwoven material of the pocket for match the use of certain cleaning products to increase the polishing power of the whole, or by incorporating materials known as super absorbents in the hydrophilic wadding layer cellulose in order to increase the drying power thereof.
  • the very strong absorbency of the hydrophilic layer of cellulose wadding allows the device for effectively eliminating the fog often present in bathroom bath, shop windows or windshields of motor vehicles.
