Area 5 is described in detail with reference to Figures 5 to 7b.
  • the handle 1 is in the form of a hollow body with a cavity 11 designed as a storage for cleaning liquid serves.
  • the handle 1 goes into a hollow, semi-cylindrical, wing body extending transversely to the handle 8 over, the flat front 22 with the back of the Dirt remover 7 is congruent and has contact with it.
  • the wing body 8 has a centrally arranged one Recess 15 for receiving a piston pump 9.
  • the piston pump 9 is connected via a short pipe 18 to the Interior of the dirt remover 7 connected.
  • the Pump 9 is connected to an intake pipe 43, which from above into the Cavity 11 leads.
  • a relatively thin Resilient actuating lever 21 On the back of the wing body 8 is a relatively thin Resilient actuating lever 21 arranged, which can be pushed down is attached to a thickening 24. With the operating lever 21 the piston pump 9 is actuated. Via line 43 becomes cleaning fluid that is in the cavity of the handle 1 located, sucked in and over a corresponding Valve control pressed into the dirt collector. About the fine cleaning capillary openings 30.1 ... 30.n then in the area of the plaster surface element 4. Furthermore, there is an upper edge 17 of the dirt carrier 7 a profiled wiper lip 13 made of rubber.
  • the dirt remover 7 is in the assembled state of the Cleaning device 100 connected to the wing body 8 clickable.
  • the dirt remover 7 has two its rear protruding locking elements 23 (in Fig.1 only one latching element 23 is shown), which resiliently in the recess 15 of the wing body 8 are to be inserted.
  • FIG remove A second embodiment (reference number 200) is shown in FIG remove.
  • the construction shown in figure is that Cleaning device 100 similar.
  • One difference is that as an operating lever for the piston pump 9 one to two Stiffening bars 25, 26 pivotally attached C-profile 27 that serves with the fingers of the hand that encloses the handle, can be taken. Otherwise, the pump function the description of FIG. 1. reinforcing webs 25,26 and C-profile are embedded in a recess 15. The stiffening webs 25, 26 are with the dirt remover 7 firmly connected.
  • FIGS. 4 to 7b Reference number 300 of the cleaning device according to the invention.
  • the capillary matrix 19 exists from a series of capillary openings 30.1 ... 30.n, which are parallel runs to an upper edge 29 of the outlet plate 28.
  • the exit plate 28 is also one with their Provide flat side protruding web 31, which in a Dirt remover 7 engages groove 32 (see figures 5 and 7a) and as a holder for the wiper lip 13 serves. In this groove 32 is also a thickening 33 of the wiper lip 13 pushed in or pushed in (cf. figures 5 and 6).
  • the exit plate 28 is with the dirt remover 7 ultrasonically welded. In another embodiment can the dirt remover 7 with the outlet plate 28 also be glued.
  • the dirt remover 7 has one over its whole Width-extending, upper stiffening web 40 on (figures 5 and 6), which is inclined into the groove 32 already mentioned transforms.
  • the stiffening web 40 and the upper edge of the outlet plate 28 set the position of the inserted in the groove 32 Wiping lip 13 firmly.
  • the angle of inclination of the wiper lip 13 is opposite the cleaning surface 4 about 45 °. This arrangement ensures a good grip for the wiper lip 13 which is turned or can be replaced.
  • FIG. 5 also shows one shown in dashed lines, swiped-off scraper lip 13.
  • the scraper lip 13 is therefore also pivotable in this embodiment stored in the groove 32.
  • the wiper lip can also be staggered with double or triple wiper lip edges be, with such wiper lips movable in the groove 32 or are arranged pivotable.
