Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wiper with a handle and one on the handle in the longitudinal direction Slidably mounted sliding sleeve, from the at least two arms in the direction protrude a wiper device, which at a lower end of the handle is articulated, the wiping device two on a middle piece between a wiping position and a wringing position of swiveling wiper plates has, which can be pivoted by moving the arms at least in the wringing position are.
  • Such a wiper is known from EP 0 914 797 A1.
  • the arms extend in a V-shape towards the wiper device, with them two swivel plates pivotally mounted on the center piece are in locking engagement.
  • the the Wiper means opposite ends of the arms are integral along one of a handle slidably mounted sliding sleeve attached.
  • the lower end of the handle is pivotable along a center piece of the wiper device stored in a vertical plane.
  • a disadvantage of the known wiper is that the handle is only along a vertical plane is pivotable relative to the wiper device and for example one for Wipe or S movement desired between the floor or not by appropriate Movements of the user of the wiper is possible.
  • Such a noose or S movement has the advantage, however, that a more dirty side of the Wiper device always remains in the direction of movement of the wiper and so one Streaking or a dirty edge on the surface to be wiped is avoided.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a wiper of the type mentioned Kind of improving that while maintaining a possible wringing position of the wiper without a corresponding movement of the user or S movement can be performed.
  • the spring arms are essentially only for pivoting the wipers towards the wringing position while wiping with the wiper, i.e. in the wiping position of the wiping plates, with the wiping plates not in Are engaged and in no way hinder their movement relative to the stem.
  • the movement possibilities between the handle and the wiping device improved by the gimbal connection between them. This is not just one Pivoting of the handle relative to the wiper device possible in a vertical plane, rather the handle is essentially in the entire half space above one to be wiped Surface pivotable relative to the wiper.
  • the release of the engagement between the spring arm and the wiper plate can be done in different ways Way.
  • the lower end of the stem can be designed as a stem receiving sleeve.
  • the stem receiving sleeve can have, for example, an internal thread into which in a handle can be screwed in in a known manner.
  • an adjoining the lower end of the handle lower stem section have a non-circular cross-section.
  • a Cross-section such as a square, oval or other non-circular cross-section it is ensured that the sliding sleeve is non-rotatably mounted on the handle.
  • the sliding sleeve is slidably mounted on the lower stem section. It would be also possible to slide the sliding sleeve upwards beyond the lower stem section move where it would be rotatable relative to the handle, for example.
  • the sliding sleeve in an disengaged position of the spring arms essentially an upper section end opposite the lower stem end of the lower stem section can be detachably held. Holding in this disengaged position can by a snap engagement, by a releasable locking or the like.
  • bracket is not absolutely necessary and the free ends of the spring arms, for example, also in the case of wiper plates in the wiping position can stand up on the top of the mop.
  • the film hinge can be between Bottom sides of the center piece and mop plates can be formed.
  • the wiper plates can be in their wiping position can be held by releasable locking engagement.
  • the locking can take place, for example, on the center piece. It is a simple embodiment conceivable in which a locking element is arranged on each wiper plate, which in the wiping position with a counter-locking element on the other wiper plate is in releasable engagement. In this way, the stability of the Wiping position, since the locking engagement is not relative to the center piece and with long lever arms he follows.
  • a locking element is a locking hook that extends in particular along extends a top of the wiper plate and in the wiping position in a latching opening as a counter-locking element in the top of the other wiper plate with his Intervening engages.

  • This Engagement grooves move the engagement ends of the spring arms when the sliding sleeve is shifted downward along the stem in the direction of the wiping device.
  • the wiper plates From their wiping position to the wringing position pivoted.
  • the spring arms become elastic relative to the handle spread outside or deflected relative to the sliding sleeve. Through this elastic Deflection is a corresponding force on the tops of the mop plates exercised especially in the wringing position and causes the wringing activity.
  • the spring arms are springy are interconnected or are resiliently mounted in the sliding sleeve, wherein the respective suspension applies a corresponding restoring force that in the wringing position exerts sufficient pressure on the wiping plates.
  • the engaging ends are curved inward towards the stem and then away from the stem Connect the lower end section.
  • the elasticity and deflection of the spring arms can be improved, for example if there is a substantially parallel to the stem at the end portion Middle section connects.
