Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Feuchtwischer gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a wet mop according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Feuchtwischer wurde durch die US 2 730 744 bekannt. Nachteilig an dieser Ausführungsform ist, dass der Stiel in Hauptwischrichtung nicht schwenkbar ist. Damit wird das Wischen unter Schränken und in Zwischenräumen äußerst schwierig und teilweise unmöglich.Such a wet mop was by the US 2,730,744 known. A disadvantage of this embodiment is that the stem in the main wiper direction is not pivotable. This makes it extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to swipe under cupboards and in interspaces.

Dieser Nachteil trifft auch auf das Wischgerät gemäß der EP 0 494 021 B1 zu.This disadvantage also applies to the wiper device according to the EP 0 494 021 B1 to.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Feuchtwischer für plane Flächen zu schaffen, mit dem es möglich ist, auch in der Hauptwischrichtung unter niederen Möbeln zu reinigen und mit dem in schmalen Zwischenräumen gewischt werden kann. Dabei muss eine einfache, sichere und störungsfreie Handhabung gewährleistet werden.The object of the invention is to provide a dampener for flat surfaces, with which it is possible to clean even in the main wiping under low furniture and can be wiped with the in narrow spaces. Here, a simple, safe and trouble-free handling must be guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wir mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Mit dem Kardangelenk ist es möglich, in besonders flacher Stellung zu wischen, sodass selbst unter niederen Schränken gearbeitet werden kann. Zudem erlaubt das Kardangelenk ein Wischen in jeder Richtung, insbesondere auch gegen die Hauptwischrichtung. Dadurch ist ein profihaftes Wischen in der sogenannten Achterführung möglich. Weiter erlaubt die Anlenkung der Druckarme auf den Wischplatten über Führungseinrichtungen ein Auspressen in jeder beliebigen Haltung. Es ist nicht erforderlich, den Stiel in einer definierten Richtung zu den Wischplatten auszubalancieren.With the universal joint, it is possible to wipe in a particularly flat position, so that even under low cabinets can be worked. In addition, the universal joint allows wiping in any direction, especially against the main wiping direction. As a result, a professional wiping in the so-called eight-way is possible. Next allows the articulation of the pressure arms on the mop plates via guide means a squeezing in any position. It is not necessary to balance the stem in a defined direction to the mop plates.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. In besonders einfacher Weise erfolgt die Führung der Druckarme durch auf den Wischplatten angeformte, V-förmig verlaufende Führungsstege, die die Druckarme zu Druckflächen auf den Wischplatten gleiten lassen. Natürlich sind diese Führungsstege auch durch Führungsnuten zu ersetzen.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims. In a particularly simple manner, the guide of the pressure arms is formed by integrally formed on the mop plates, V-shaped guide webs that can slide the pressure arms to pressure surfaces on the mop plates. Of course, these guide webs are also replaced by guide grooves.

Eine besonders elegante Lösung wird dadurch erreicht, dass auf den Wischplatten jeweils gelenkseitig Mitnehmerteile angeformt sind, die in Nuten in den Druckarmen geführt werden. In weiterer Ausgestaltung sind die Nuten mit einer Hinterschneidung versehen, über die die Mitnehmerteile kraftschlüssig verrastet werden. Dadurch ist ein Ausrichten der Wischplatten nach dem Pressvorgang ohne eine zusätzliche Feder oder sonstige Hilfsmittel möglich.A particularly elegant solution is achieved in that on the mop plates each joint-side driving parts are formed, which are guided in grooves in the pressure arms. In a further embodiment, the grooves are provided with an undercut, over which the driver parts are locked non-positively. This makes it possible to align the mop plates after the pressing process without an additional spring or other aids.

Zur Optimierung der Presskraft sind auf den Wischplatten ansteigende Auflaufflächen für die Druckarme vorgesehen, die an der Druckfläche ihren Höhepunkt erreichen.To optimize the pressing force rising ramp surfaces for the printing arms are provided on the mop plates, which reach their peak on the printing surface.

Zur Stabilisierung der Wischplatten beim Wischvorgang sind die Mitnehmerteile und am Doppelgelenk angeformte Gelenkgrundteile in kraftschlüssiger Anlage.To stabilize the mop plates during the wiping process, the driver parts and joint base elements formed on the double joint are in frictional engagement.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:
FIG. 1
a perspective view of a wet mop,
FIG. 2
a longitudinal section for the start of engagement of the pressure arms on the mop plates,

Zwei Wischplatten 1 und 2 sind unter Zwischenschaltung eines Doppelgelenkes 3 miteinander verbunden. Das Doppelgelenk 3 wird durch zwei Scharniere 4 und 5 gebildet, die die Verbindung von einer Zwischenplatte 6 zu den beiden Wischplatten 1 und 2 bilden. Auf der Zwischenplatte 6 sind zwei Gelenkgrundteile 7 angeformt, die ein Kardangelenk 8 aufnehmen. Das Kardangelenk 8 besteht dabei aus einer in den Gelenkgrundteilen 7 gelagerten Längsachse 9 mit einem Achsenkopf 10, der wiederum von einer Querachse 11 durchdrungen ist, an der eine Stielaufnahme 12 drehbar gelagert ist. Mit der Stielaufnahme 12 ist ein Stiel 13 verbunden.Two mop plates 1 and 2 are connected to each other with the interposition of a double joint 3. The double joint 3 is formed by two hinges 4 and 5, which form the connection of an intermediate plate 6 to the two wiping plates 1 and 2. On the intermediate plate 6, two joint base parts 7 are formed, which receive a universal joint 8. The universal joint 8 consists of a mounted in the joint base 7 longitudinal axis 9 with an axle head 10, which in turn is penetrated by a transverse axis 11, on which a handle receptacle 12 is rotatably mounted. With the handle receptacle 12, a stem 13 is connected.

Auf dem Stiel 13 ist eine Verschiebehülse 14 bis zu einem Anschlag 15, der am Stiel 13 befestigt ist, verschiebbar gelagert. Die Verschiebehülse 14 setzt sich aus einem Griffteil 16, dem Gleitbereich 17 mit einem Führungsschlitz 18 und den gabelförmig angeformten Druckarmen 19 und 20 zusammen.On the stem 13, a sliding sleeve 14 is slidably mounted up to a stop 15 which is attached to the stem 13. The sliding sleeve 14 is composed of a handle portion 16, the sliding portion 17 with a guide slot 18 and the fork-shaped molded pressure arms 19 and 20 together.

Die Druckarme 19, 20 sind zum Pressvorgang über die Verschiebehülse 14 mit den Wischplatten 1 und 2 in Wirkverbindung bringbar. Dazu sind auf den Wischplatten 1 und 2 jeweils gelenkseitig ein Mitnehmerteil 21, 22 angeformt. Die Mitnehmerteile 21, 22 stehen senkrecht auf den Wischplatten 1, 2 und liegen mit einer Fläche 23, wie in Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich, an einer Rückfläche 24, der Gelenkgrundteile 7 an. Wenn die Verschiebehülse 14 in Pfeilrichtung 25 aus ihrer Stellung gemäß Figur 1 verschoben wird, kommen die Druckarme 19, 20 mit den Mitnehmerteilen 21 und 22 in Eingriff. Dazu haben die Druckarme 19 und 20 jeweils eine Nut 26, die an den Enden 27 durch je eine Wand 28 abgeschlossen sind. Durch die Nachgiebigkeit der Konstruktion weichen beim Auftreffen der Druckarme 19, 20 auf die Mitnehmerteile 21, 22 die Wände 28 derart zurück, dass sie, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, hinter L-förmige Fortsätze 29, die die Form einer Kugel 30 haben, rasten. Der L-förmige Fortsatz 29 hat dabei die Querschnittsform der Nute 26, sodass ein gutes Gleitverhalten und eine sichere Führung gewährleistet ist.The pressure arms 19, 20 can be brought into operative connection with the mop plates 1 and 2 for the pressing process via the sliding sleeve 14. For this purpose, a driver part 21, 22 are integrally formed on the wiper plates 1 and 2 respectively on the hinge side. The driver parts 21, 22 are perpendicular to the mop plates 1, 2 and lie with a surface 23, as shown in Figure 1 and 2, on a rear surface 24, the joint base parts 7 at. When the sliding sleeve 14 is displaced in the direction of arrow 25 from its position according to Figure 1, the pressure arms 19, 20 come with the driver parts 21 and 22 into engagement. For this purpose, the pressure arms 19 and 20 each have a groove 26, which are closed at the ends 27 by a respective wall 28. Due to the compliance of the construction, when the pressure arms 19, 20 impinge on the driver parts 21, 22, the walls 28 yield in such a way that, as shown in FIG. 2, they lock behind L-shaped extensions 29, which have the shape of a sphere 30 , The L-shaped extension 29 has the cross-sectional shape of the groove 26, so that a good sliding behavior and a secure guidance is ensured.

Durch weiteres Verschieben der Verschiebehülse 14 in Pfeilrichtung 25 erfolgt ein Einklappen der Wischplatten 1 und 2 gemäß der Ansicht in Figur 3 und ein Auspressen des Wischpads 35. Dabei gleiten Druckrippen 31 auf ansteigenden Druckflächen 32 auf den Wischplatten 1 und 2.By further displacement of the sliding sleeve 14 in the direction of arrow 25, a folding of the mop plates 1 and 2 according to the view in Figure 3 and a squeezing of the wiping pad 35. In this case slide pressure ribs 31 on rising pressure surfaces 32 on the mop plates 1 and 2.

Nach dem Auspressen des teilweise nicht dargestellten Wischpads über die Wischplatten 1 und 2 wird die Verschiebehülse 14 entgegen der Richtung 25 zurückgezogen, bis die Wände 28 an die Kugel 30 stoßen und so die Wischplatten 1, 2 strecken und in die in Figur 2 dargestellte Lage bringen. Durch Weiterziehen der Verschiebehülse 14 weichen die Wände 28 durch die natürlichen Federeigenschaften der Materialien unter Druck so weit zurück, dass die in Figur 1 dargestellte Stellung wieder erreicht wird. In dieser Stellung ist durch das Kardangelenk ein Wischen in jeder Richtung möglich. Auch bei sehr weit schräg gestelltem Stiel 13 treffen die Druckarme 19 und 20 sicher die Mitnehmerteile 21 und 22, wozu die Einlaufradien 33 am Ende 34 der Druckarme 19, 20 beitragen.After the wiping of the wiping pad, partly not shown on the mop plates 1 and 2, the sliding sleeve 14 is retracted against the direction 25 until the walls 28 abut the ball 30 and so extend the mop plates 1, 2 and bring in the position shown in Figure 2 , By further pulling the sliding sleeve 14, the walls 28 by the natural spring properties of the materials under pressure so far back that the position shown in Figure 1 is reached again. In this position, the universal joint makes it possible to wipe in any direction. Even with a very wide inclined stem 13, the pressure arms 19 and 20 securely meet the driver parts 21 and 22, to which the inlet radii 33 at the end 34 of the pressure arms 19, 20 contribute.
