Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wet floor mopping device with a Mop made of absorbent material and a mop holder, which is a carrier center piece connected to a handle has, on which two by means of an extrusion device their inner surfaces carrying the mop against each other pressable mop carrier wing with a hinge edge swiveling are stored, with at least one of the two from the hinge edge outgoing side edges is inclined towards the other side edge.
  • Such wet floor wipers because of their two swiveling mop carrier wings also as "butterfly mops" are called, form in their working position level, from the two mop support wings and the connecting one Carrier center piece existing mop support surface on which the Mop made of absorbent material is attached.
  • the squeezing device can, for example, from a Wet-floor mopping device attached lever mechanism exist, which is operated by hand to the required To apply extrusion force.
  • the mop support wings are rectangular designed.
  • the one required to rinse the mop The water level in the cleaning bucket must be chosen at least this way be that the rectangular mop support wings that made up For ergonomic reasons, usually in the cleaning bucket at an angle be completely immersed in the cleaning water.
  • this minimum height is the Cleaning water relatively high, so that a relatively large amount of water must be provided in the cleaning bucket, so that the cleaning bucket is heavy.
  • the maximum force required for pressing out the mop is essentially by that for pivoting the Mop carrier wing required swivel torque at the end of the Determined swivel movement.
  • each mop support wing on its hinge edge wider than at its opposite the hinge edge Edge Compared to a rectangular mop support wing therefore its width is reduced and with it its width Surface with increasing distance from the swivel axis on the Hinge edge. This will make those surface areas reduced who attack with a larger lever arm. On this way the required maximum squeezing torque reduced so that pressing out the mop with lower force can take place. Working with the Wet floor wipers are therefore less strenuous.
  • the smaller width at the ends of the two mop support wings also leads to the mop being easier in narrow corners and gaps can be introduced so that a more thorough Cleaning effect even in areas that are difficult to access the floor area to be cleaned is achieved. Obstacles on Soils can be avoided more easily.
  • the object of the invention is a wet floor mopping device to train the genus mentioned in such a way that the Water drainage during the squeezing process is improved.
  • each mop support wing Has water drainage grooves that towards the sloping side edge and run diagonally to the hinge edge. So that the water drain during the squeezing process improved the oblique side edge.
  • the water drainage grooves are parallel, for example arranged to each other. In this arrangement they are Water drainage grooves then in the usual oblique position of the Wet floor mopping device approximated during the squeezing process aligned vertically so that the water can flow freely can drain down. The water can still drain be facilitated in that the water drainage grooves widen towards the sloping side edge. This will make the Percentage of grooves in the areas away from the swivel axis larger and therefore the pressure required is lower.
  • Each mop support wing preferably forms a right-angled one Trapezoid, the larger base line of which forms the hinge edge. ' In its spread-out position, the mop has hence one containing the two right-angled side edges, continuous front edge and two narrower ends, the eventually can become a corner so that everyone Mop support wing forms a triangle.
  • the wet floor mopping device 1 shown in the drawing has a mop 2 made of absorbent material, the for example from a sponge layer 2a and a mop pile 2b (Fig. 3).
  • a handle 3 is preferably about a hinge 3a connected to a support center piece 4, on the each on a hinge edge 5 (Fig. 2) a mop support wing 6 is articulated.
  • the inner surfaces 7 of the two mop carrier wings 6 and Inner surface 8 of the carrier center piece 4 form the surface the mop 2 is attached.
  • the two mop support wings 6 by means of a squeezing device (not shown) be pivoted against each other so that the in between Wiping mop 2 is pressed out.
  • the usual The final press position of the mop support wings 6 is shown in FIG Lines 6a indicated.
  • Each of the two mop support wings 6 forms a right-angled Trapeze.
  • the hinge edge 5 forms the larger one Baseline of the trapeze.
  • One side edge 8 each Mop carrier wing 6 runs at an acute angle to Hinge edge 5 and 9 to the other side edge inclined towards the in the illustrated embodiment in runs at right angles to the hinge edge 5.
  • each mop carrier wing 6 thus forms the smaller baseline of the trapeze.
  • Each mop carrier wing 6 is in the area of it free edge 10 much narrower than in the area of its Hinge edge 5.
  • the edge 10 can also extend to one Tip be reduced. With a slight increase in required pressure results in another substantial increase in wiping width without increasing Immersion depth.
  • each mop support wing 6 11 There are water drainage grooves on the inner surface 7 of each mop support wing 6 11 provided, which are arranged parallel to each other are and run towards the oblique side edge 8. At the illustrated embodiment run the water drainage grooves 11 obliquely to the hinge edge 5 at an angle of about 60 ° -80 °, preferably 70 °.
  • the sloping side edge 8 runs at an angle of about 50 ° -70 °, preferably 60 ° to the hinge edge 5.
  • Fig. 4 is also with dash-dotted lines rectangular mop carrier wing hinted at the same Surface has like the trapezoidal mop carrier wing shown 6th
  • the described alignment of the water drainage grooves 11 causes this water drainage grooves 11 at the Squeezing process for ergonomic reasons usual inclination of the wet floor mopping device (Fig. 5) approximated run vertically, so that the pressed cleaning water after can run down.
  • the water drainage is made by itself widening cross-sectional shape of the water drainage grooves still improved.
