Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holder for attaching a mop at the end of a stem, wherein the holder has a base surface which has a greater length than width, wherein the holder has a boundary edge which is divided into at least two extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the holder edge regions is.
  • Such mops are used for wet cleaning of floors.
  • Such a holder is from the US Pat. No. 5,862,565 known.
  • the holder has the shape of a parallelogram and is flat. This form should make it possible to clean hard-to-reach areas. Due to the flat shape of the holder and the choice of material, such as a plastic, the holder is elastically yielding to clean even concave surfaces can.
  • a textile material different materials can be used, for example cotton or polyester.
  • a mop for attachment to the end of a broomstick that includes a mount to which a number of relatively movable, absorbent strips of textile material are secured substantially transverse to the axis of the stem.
  • the strips are anchored by means of a mushroom head in the holder while the mushroom head is smaller in its outer dimensions than the holder.
  • the holder and the mushroom head are dome-shaped.
  • the holder is flared conical, wherein the inserted strips of mop are clamped over a provided with a central thread round plate.
  • the plate is flat in contrast to the conical holder.
  • the holder has a tapered corner, wherein the holder, starting from a round elliptical basic shape in the region of the corners over a significant part of its longitudinal extent a rectilinear region to the corner out.
  • the holder itself may be dome-shaped.
  • the strips are all here in substantially the same direction without angular offset from each other.
  • the invention has the object of developing a mop so that its handling and in particular the suitability for cleaning corners is improved.
  • this is achieved by arranging a number of relatively movable, absorbent strips of textile material, preferably angularly offset substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the style, by clamping between a headboard and a panel, such that the footprint is in the area of attachment and the strip is such that the degree of limitation cooperates with the strips of the mop so that the edge regions are curved with a constant or an at least partially varying radius of curvature without changing the direction of the curvature, and the ratio of the length to the width is at least 1.2 and at most 4 , preferably more than 1.6 and that the radius of curvature of the edge regions is at least 0.61 times and at most 4.25 times the width.
  • the ratio of the length to the width should be at least 1.2 and at most 4, preferably more than 1.6, in order to improve the handling of the mop.
  • a limitation of the rotation is provided according to an advantageous development corner, to overcome a significantly higher force is required. Due to the existing compared to a circular holder restoring action of the holder in a central position can be done with the holder a special simple and effortless working in S-movements.
  • the boundary edge at the ends bounding the length while avoiding acute-angled Corners may each have a flattening, a tipping over of the mop is more difficult from one edge region to the other.
  • the bounding edge may have corners to obtain particular geometries and rolling motions.
  • the edge regions each consist of at least one circular section. Instead of circular sections but could also other curves occur when the rotational ability of the holder or the positional stability should be changed.
  • the curvature of the first edge region can be selected larger than the curvature of the second edge region.
  • the head part can be pulled down at its corners, so that the overall result is a spatial curvature of the edge regions.
  • connection of the holder with the handle can be done via a tilting joint movable in the longitudinal direction of the holder.
  • means for limiting the tilt angle of +/- 60 ° relative to the vertical to the longitudinal axis of the holder are advantageously provided on the joint.
  • Very particularly advantageous is a restriction of the tilt angle to +/- 25 °, since the easy pressing in a sieve without significant deflection of the holder is made possible here.
  • the base surface of the plate may be larger than that of the head part, whereby the plate protrudes circumferentially beyond the head part.
  • the head part can be hood-shaped, in particular concave.
  • an edge may be formed at the transition of the dome-shaped over the edge region formed subsections.
  • the corners are rounded with a radius of between 0.05 times and 0.25 times the width of the holder, so that a rolling movement is made possible over the corners, although this is compared to the rolling movement on the outer edge increased force required.
  • a ratio of the length to the width of at most 2.4 and the ratio of the radius of curvature (R) to the width (B) of at most 3.38 can be used, in particular a ratio of Length to the width of about 1.8 has been found to be advantageous.
  • the length of the holder may have a length between 0.99 and 0.6 times, preferably between 0.95 and 0.85, compared with a length in the region of the ends delimiting the length - Is, as in this area still a sufficient improvement in wiping performance and handling is achieved without actual corners are formed, which may possibly cause damage if not handled properly.

  • the arcuate contour 8, 9 extends from the corner 6 to the corner 7 with such Curvature that the longitudinal extent of the corner 6 to the corner 7 is perceptibly greater than the width b.
  • the outer contours 8, 9 can be at least partially formed as a circular arc, the radius of curvature is significantly greater than the distance to the passing through the corners 6, 7 central axis of the head part 1.
  • the ratio of length to width is about 1.8, with the proviso that with increasing ratio, the corners 6, 7 are getting sharper and an increasingly slimmer head part 1 is formed.
  • the ratio decreases, the footprint of the head approaches a circle. According to the invention, however, a base deviating from the circle should be present.
  • a further embodiment of a head part 10 according to the invention is shown, in which the connection of the head part takes place with a style not shown via a tilting joint.
  • the head part 10 has an eye 11 with a passage opening 12.
  • the eye 11 is arranged in the longitudinal direction, that is to say parallel to the imaginary connection of the corners 6 and 7 on the upper side of the half shells 3, 4, and the opening 12 which defines the tilting axis 13 extends in the direction of the width of the head part 10.

  • the head part 10 is tiltable about the tilt axis 13 with respect to the style, not shown.
  • the plate 20 goes beyond the head part 10 in its outer dimensions, that is to say that an edge-side projection is present.
  • Fig. 6b a concrete embodiment is shown with all edges occurring, in which case a style facing coupling piece 24 is shown in a tilted position.
  • the stiffeners 25 which are arranged between the plate 20 around the dome-shaped arched head portion 10, at least partially.
  • the structure of the holder by omitting the stripes is particularly clear, since the proportions of the head portion 10 and the plate 20 are clear.
  • the plate 20 projects beyond the outer boundary 8 of the head part 10 and along the entire outer contour 8, 9 has a projection 23.
  • the plate 20 is formed so that the geometry described for the head portion shown in Figs. 1 to 4 is realized, that is, the length is greater than the width and at the elongated ends corners 26, 27 are formed which in turn be rounded can.
