Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bodenwischgerät mit einem Stiel, der endseitig kardanisch an einer Trägerplatte befestigt ist, und zwei an der Trägerplatte angebrachten Rahmenteilen zur Aufnahme eines Wechselbezuges, wobei ein Rahmenteil um eine Achse schwenkbar an der Trägerplatte gelagert und durch eine Arretiereinrichtung in seiner Strecklage haltbar ist.The invention relates to a floor mopping device with a handle, the end cardanically attached to a support plate, and two to the support plate attached frame parts to accommodate an interrelation, whereby a Frame part pivoted about an axis on the support plate and through a locking device is stable in its extended position.

Aus der EP 0610838 A1 ist ein Fußbodenwischer bekannt, der einen Stiel und eine Trägerplatte aufweist, an der zwei bügelförmige Rahmenteile zur Aufnahme eines Wechselbezuges angebracht sind. Die Trägerplatte ist kardanisch an dem Stiel aufgehängt. Einer der beiden bügelförmigen Rahmenteile ist um eine Querachse schwenkbar und kann durch eine Arretierung in seiner Strecklage gehalten werden. Zum Verschwenken des Rahmenteiles aus der Strecklage ist an der Trägerplatte ein Fußhebel schwenkbar angeordnet. Durch Schwenken des Fußhebels wird die Arretierung überwunden, so daß der bügelförmige Rahmenteil nach unten geklappt und der Wechselbezug abgenommen und gegen einen anderen Wechselbezug ausgetauscht werden kann.From EP 0610838 A1 a floor wiper is known which has a handle and has a carrier plate on which two bow-shaped frame parts for receiving an interrelation is appropriate. The carrier plate is gimbaled on the Stem hung. One of the two bow-shaped frame parts is around one Cross axis swiveling and can be locked in its extended position being held. To pivot the frame part from the extended position is on the support plate a foot lever pivotally arranged. By swiveling the Foot lock is overcome, so that the bow-shaped frame part folded down and the interchangeable cover removed and against you other interrelation can be exchanged.

Nachteilig ist, daß das Ablegen des gebrauchten Wechselbezuges relativ zeit- und arbeitsaufwendig ist. Wenn der aufgespannte Wechselbezug mit dem Fußbodenwischer in den Behälter eingelegt wird, ist der Hebel nur schwer mit dem Fuß zugänglich. Zum Abnehmen des Wechselbezuges muß der Fußhebel daher manuell betätigt werden. Wird der Wechselbezug hingegen durch Betätigung des Fußhebels schon vorher abgenommen, ist es erforderlich, den Wechselbezug von Hand in den Behälter zu legen. Beide Möglichkeiten sind mit einem höheren Arbeits- und Zeitaufwand verbunden. The disadvantage is that the deposit of the used bill of exchange is relatively time and is labor intensive. If the interrelated relationship with the Floor wiper is inserted into the container, the lever is difficult to use accessible by foot. The foot pedal must be removed to remove the interchangeable cover therefore be operated manually. On the other hand, the reciprocal relationship will be Actuation of the foot lever already removed, it is necessary to Place the interchangeable cover in the container by hand. Both options are included more work and time involved.

Ein Fußbodenwischer, bei dem das Lösen der Arretierung durch Verschwenken des Stiels erfolgt, ist aus der DE-A-3137791 bekannt. Bei dem bekannten Fußbodenwischer ist mit der Lagerwelle, an welcher der Stiel kardanisch angesetzt ist, ein mehrfach abgebogener Bügel gekoppelt, der ein 180° umgebogenes Ende eines Schenkels des schwenkbaren Rahmenteils umgreift.A floor wiper, in which the release of the lock by pivoting of the stem is known from DE-A-3137791. With the known Floor wiper is cardanic with the bearing shaft on which the stem is attached, a multiply bent bracket coupled to a 180 ° bends around the bent end of a leg of the pivotable frame part.

Die Handhabung dieses Fußbodenwischers ist insofern erschwert, als bei beengten Platzverhältnissen ein Schwenken des Stiels um 180 ° nicht immer möglich ist. Auch bei diesem Fußbodenwischer erfordert das Auswechseln des Wechselbezuges einen hohen Zeit- und Arbeitsaufwand, und der Wechselbezug kann aufgrund der notwendigen Schwenkungbewegung nicht mit dem Fußbodenwischer in den dafür vorgesehenen Behälter eingelegt werden.The handling of this floor wiper is more difficult than in confined spaces Space is not always possible to swivel the handle by 180 °. This floor wiper also requires changing the Interdependency takes a lot of time and effort, and the interdependency can not with the due to the necessary pivoting movement Floor wipers are placed in the designated container.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wischgerät zu schaffen, das sich durch eine einfache Handhabung auszeichnet, einen leichten und schnellen Austausch des Wechselbezuges ermöglicht und die schnelle und leichte Ablage in einen Behälter für gebrauchte Wechselbezüge erlaubt.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a mopping device which is characterized by simple handling, easy and fast Exchange of the interchangeable cover enables and the quick and easy storage in a container for used bills of exchange allowed.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features of Claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Bodenwischgerät weist einen Stiel auf, der bei im wesentlichen senkrechter Ausrichtung zu der Trägerplatte in Längsrichtung verschiebbar ist. Der Stiel kann im Bereich der kardanischen Aufhängung längsverschiebbar befestigt sein. Beispielsweise kann zur Befestigung des Stiels eine der Achsen eines Kardangelenkes translatorisch in einer Führung verschiebbar sein.The floor mopping device according to the invention has a handle which at substantially perpendicular to the support plate in the longitudinal direction is movable. The stem can be in the gimbal area be attached longitudinally. For example, to attach the stem one of the axes of a universal joint translationally in a guide be movable.

Der Stiel kann in drei verschiedene Positionen verschoben werden. In der ersten Position, im folgenden Arbeitsposition genannt, kann der Stiel in alle Richtungen geneigt werden, so daß das Bodenwischgerät in der Arbeitsposition seinem eigentlichen Zweck, der Reinigung, dienen kann. In der zweiten Position ist der Stiel im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Trägerplatte ausgerichtet und gegenüber der Arbeitsposition in Längsrichtung verschoben. In dieser Position ist die kardanische Aufhängung derart eingeschränkt, daß eine Neigung des Stiels nicht mehr möglich ist. Der Stiel ist somit in der zweiten Position freistehend. Durch die Längsverschiebung des Stiels von der zweiten in die dritte Position wird die Arretierung des Rahmenteils in seiner Strecklage gelöst. Die Arretiereinrichtung kann aus allen gängigen Schließmechanismen bestehen, die sich durch eine Relativbewegung zwischen Stiel und Trägerplatte entriegeln lassen.The handle can be moved in three different positions. In the first Position, hereinafter called the working position, the handle can be in all directions be inclined so that the floor mop in its working position actual purpose, the cleaning, can serve. In the second position is the Handle aligned substantially perpendicular to the support plate and opposite the Working position shifted in the longitudinal direction. In this position the gimbal restricted so that an angle of the stem does not is more possible. The handle is thus free-standing in the second position. By the longitudinal displacement of the stem from the second to the third position becomes the Locking of the frame part released in its extended position. The locking device can consist of all common locking mechanisms, which are characterized by a Unlock the relative movement between the handle and the support plate.

Das erfindungsgemäße Bodenwischgerät zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß es leicht und schnell handhabbar ist. Um den Wechselbezug, beispielsweise einen Wischmop, auszuwechseln, wird der Stiel senkrecht ausgerichtet und direkt in die dritte Position verschoben, wo die Arretiereinrichtung gelöst ist. Beim Hochziehen des Bodenwischgerätes klappt der schwenkbare Rahmenteil um und gibt den Wechselbezug frei. Zur Aufnahme eines neuen Wechselbezuges werden die Rahmenteile einfach auf den neuen Wechselbezug aufgesetzt, wobei die Arretiereinrichtung bei Erreichen der Strecklage selbsttätig schließt. Die Arbeitsperson ist zu keinem Zeitpunkt gezwungen, ihre aufrechte Arbeitshaltung zum Wechseln des Wechselbezuges aufzugeben. Damit kann der Wechselbezug mit dem Bodenwischgerät auch in einen Behälter abgelegt oder aus dem Behälter aufgenommen werden.The floor mopping device according to the invention is characterized in that it is light and can be handled quickly. About the interrelation, for example one Mop to replace, the handle is aligned vertically and directly into the third position shifted where the locking device is released. At the Pulling up the floor mop, the swiveling frame part folds over and releases the interrelation. To include a new interrelation the frame parts simply placed on the new interchangeable cover, the Locking device closes automatically when reaching the extended position. The Workers are never forced to maintain their upright posture to change the interchangeability. With this, the interrelation with the floor mopping device also placed in a container or out of the container be included.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Bodenwischgerätes ist in der Trägerplatte ein Führungsloch vorgesehen, in das der Stiel in der dritten Position eingeschoben werden kann. Das Führungsloch ist fluchtend mit dem Stiel in seiner senkrechten Ausrichtung zur Trägerplatte angeordnet. Es kann eine beliebige Form aufweisen, muß aber in der Lage sein, den Stiel sicher aufzunehmen. Die Ränder des Führungsloches bilden eine seitliche Abstützung für den Stiel in der zweiten Position. Daher darf das Führungsloch nicht zu groß bemesssen sein, da die Bewegung der Lagerung ansonsten zu wenig eingeschränkt wäre. Dies würde dazu führen, daß sich der Stiel zu stark zur Seite neigt, wobei ein Übergewicht entstünde, das zum Umfallen des Stiels führen würde. Das Führungsloch bietet eine einfache Möglichkeit der Führung und kinematischen Einschränkung des Stiels.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention Floor mopping device is provided in the support plate, a guide hole in which the Stem can be inserted in the third position. The pilot hole is aligned with the stem in its vertical orientation to the support plate arranged. It can be of any shape, but must be able to to hold the stem securely. The edges of the pilot hole form one lateral support for the handle in the second position. Therefore, that may The pilot hole should not be too large, as the movement of the bearing would otherwise be restricted too little. This would result in the Stem tilts too much to the side, which would result in an excess weight that would cause it to fall over of the stem would lead. The pilot hole provides an easy way of Guidance and kinematic restriction of the stem.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Bodenwischgerätes ist das Führungsloch von einem vorspringenden Ansatz umgeben. Der vorspringende Ansatz, der einen beliebigen Querschnitt aufweisen kann, dient der Akzentuierung der verschiedenen Positionen des Stiels sowie einem sicheren Stand des freistehenden Stiels. Ist beispielsweise ein fließender Übergang zwischen den Positionen gewünscht, so bietet sich ein wallartiger Ansatz an. Mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt können hingegen die einzelnen Positionen deutlicher voneinander getrennt werden. In der Arbeitsposition stützt sich das Ende des Stiels auf dem vorspringenden Ansatz ab, während das Ende des Stiels in der zweiten und dritten Position von dem Ansatz umgeben ist, der eine gute seitliche Abstützung gewährleistet. Durch den größeren notwendigen Verschiebeweg zwischen der zweiten Position und der Arbeitsposition verringert sich somit die Gefahr, daß der freistehende Stiel durch unbeabsichtigtes Berühren von der zweiten Position in die Arbeitsposition gelangt, sich zur Seite neigt und umfällt.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention Floor mop is the pilot hole from a projecting approach surround. The projecting approach that have any cross section can serve to accentuate the various positions of the stem as well a secure stand of the free-standing stem. For example, is a fluent Transition between the positions is desired, so there is a wall-like Approach. With a rectangular cross section, however, the individual Positions are more clearly separated. In the working position supports the end of the stalk depends on the projecting approach while the end of the stem in the second and third positions is surrounded by the approach that good lateral support is guaranteed. Due to the larger necessary Movement distance between the second position and the working position reduced there is thus a risk that the free-standing stem may be touched unintentionally reaches the working position from the second position, leans to the side and fall over.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Gestaltungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Bodenwischgerätes weist Aussparungen im schwenkbaren Rahmenteil auf, an dem das Riegelelement angeordnet ist. Diese Aussparungen sind derart angeordnet, daß das Riegelelement zugänglich ist und manuell aus der Schiene bewegt werden kann. Die Ausnehmung sollte demzufolge in der Nähe der Schiene angeordnet sein, in der das Riegelelement festgelegt ist.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention Floor mopping device has cutouts in the pivotable frame part which the locking element is arranged. These recesses are like this arranged that the locking element is accessible and manually from the rail can be moved. The recess should therefore be close to the rail be arranged in which the locking element is fixed.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Bodenwischgerätes ist an dem vorzugsweise bügelförmigen Riegelelement ein Verschiebungselement angebracht. Dieses Verschiebungselement erstreckt sich in der Strecklage derart unter das Führungsloch, daß es bei Verschiebung des Stiels in dessen dritte Position seitlich verschoben wird. Dadurch wird das Riegelelement aus der Schiene bewegt. Um eine einfache seitliche Verschiebung des Verschiebungselementes zu gewährleisten, können die Berührungsflächen zwischen Verschiebungselement und dem unteren Ende des Stiels angeschrägt sein. Das Verschiebungselement weist einen entsprechenden, beispielweise im wesentlichen kreisfömigen Querschnitt auf. Es sind aber auch andere Querschnitte möglich, die ein reibungsarmes Abgleiten des Stiels erlauben.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention Floor mopping device is on the preferably bow-shaped locking element Displacement element attached. This displacement element extends in the stretched position under the guide hole so that when the handle is moved in its third position is moved sideways. This will make it Bolt element moved out of the rail. For a simple lateral shift to ensure the displacement element, the contact surfaces between the displacement element and the lower end of the stem his. The displacement element has a corresponding one, for example in essential circular cross-section. But there are also other cross sections possible that allow a smooth sliding of the handle.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Bodenwischgerätes ist das Verschiebungselement haken- oder ösenförmig ausgebildet und gegenüber dem Führungsloch in eine Richtung seitlich versetzt, wodurch die gewünschte Verschiebung des Verschiebungselements in die Gegenrichtung erfolgt. Das haken- oder ösenförmige Verschiebungselement weist einen Durchmesser auf, der größer als der Durchmesser des unteren Endes des Stiels ist, da erst dadurch eine seitliche Verschiebung ermöglicht wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention Floor mopping device, the displacement element is hook-shaped or eyelet-shaped formed and laterally offset in one direction with respect to the guide hole, whereby the desired displacement of the displacement element in the Opposite direction. The hook-shaped or eyelet-shaped displacement element has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the lower end of the Stiels is because this is the only way to enable lateral displacement.
