Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Auswringvorrichtung für Reinigungselemente von Nassund Feuchtwischgeräten mit einer flüssigkeitsdurchlässigen Aufnahme, welche durch einen Halterahmen an einem Behälter festgelegt ist und in welcher ein Reinigungselement durch Eindrücken auswringbar ist.The invention relates to a wringing device for cleaning elements of wet and Wet wipers with a liquid-permeable holder, which is fixed by a holding frame to a container and in which a Cleaning element can be wrung out by pressing.

Derartige Auswringvorrichtungen sind zur Reinigung von Fußböden im Haushalt weit verbreitet. Gebräuchlich sind sogenannte Wischmopps, das sind Nass- oder Feuchtwischgeräte bei denen am Ende eines Stiels ein Reinigungselement, beispielsweise saugfähige Streifen, Fransen oder Zotten aus einem Textilmaterial, zu einem Moppkopf gebündelt sind. Zum Entfernen der Nässe muss das Reinigungselement in einer Vorrichtung ausgewrungen oder ausgepresst werden. Gebräuchlich sind Auswringvorrichtungen bei denen der Moppkopf von oben her mit vertikal nach unten hängendem Reinigungselement in einen nach oben hin geöffneten Auswringraum eingeführt wird. Die vom Reinigungselement aufgenommene Flüssigkeit wird durch Pressen, Quetschen und/oder Wringen entfernt. Der Auswringraum ist für Flüssigkeit durchlässig und das Schmutzwasser läuft in einen sich unter der Auswringvorrichtung befindlichen Behälter ab. Im Haushalt verwendete Auswringvorrichtungen sind meist am Rand eines Putzeimers befestigbar und der Mopp wird durch Einpressen in eine korbähnliche Aufnahme ausgewrungen. Such wringing devices are for cleaning floors in the household widespread. So-called mops are common, they are wet mops Damp wipers with a cleaning element at the end of a stick, for example absorbent strips, fringes or villi from one Textile material bundled into a mop head.

Wringing devices used in the household are mostly on the edge a cleaning bucket can be attached and the mop is pressed into a wrung out basket-like image.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Eine derartige Auswringvorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus EP 0 489 237 bekannt. Die Aufnahme ist ein trichterförmiger Auspresskorb mit flexiblen, mit Abstand zueinander angeordneten Wandteilen. Diese Wandteile bilden bogenförmige Federschenkel, die mit ihrem einen Ende am Halterahmen, mit ihrem anderen Ende in einem Bodenteil zusammengeführt sind. Der Halterahmen ist am oberen Rand eines Putzeimers befestigt. Zum Auswringen des Mopps wir dieser von oben her in den Auspresskorb eingeführt. Das Auspressen erfolgt durch Eindrücken des Mopps. Dabei kann die Flüssigkeit nur aus jenen Streifen entfernt werden, die sich im Auspresskorb befinden. Moppstreifen, die beim Einführen zwischen oder außerhalb der flexiblen Wandteile gelangen, werden nicht ausgequetscht. Insbesondere dann, wenn der Moppkopf nicht pilzförmig, sondern, wie es bei einem Flachwischmopp der Fall ist, etwa die Form eines Ellipsoids aufweist, ist das Auswringergebnis unbefriedigend: Das beim vorangegangenen Wischvorgang aufgenommene Schmutzwasser gelangt zumindest teilweise wieder zurück auf den Fußboden. Will man dies verhindern und auch außen liegende Textilstreifen auspressen, ist ein zielgenaues Einführen der Streifen in den Korb erforderlich. Gegebenenfalls muss der Mopp mehrfach in den Auspresskorb eingedrückt werden. Dies erfordert Geschick und Geduld und erschwert eine effiziente Fußbodenreinigung.Such a wringing device is known for example from EP 0 489 237. The receptacle is a funnel-shaped squeeze basket with flexible, at a distance mutually arranged wall parts. These wall parts form an arc Spring legs with one end on the holding frame and the other End are merged into a bottom part. The holding frame is at the top Fixed edge of a cleaning bucket. To wring out the mop we use this from inserted into the squeeze basket at the top. The pressing is done by Push in the mop. The liquid can only come from those strips removed, which are in the squeeze basket. Mop strips that the Introduce between or outside the flexible wall parts not squeezed. Especially when the mop head is not mushroom-shaped, but, as is the case with a flat mop, approximately the shape of a Having ellipsoids, the wringing result is unsatisfactory previous wiping dirty water reaches at least partially back on the floor. If you want to prevent this and also pressing out textile strips on the outside is a precise insertion the strip in the basket is required. The mop may have to be the squeeze basket are pressed in. This requires skill and patience makes efficient floor cleaning difficult.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Auswringvorrichtung so weiterzubilden, dass das Einführen des Reinigungselementes und das Auswringen besser als bisher gelingt, die aber trotzdem kostengünstig ist.The object of the present invention is a wringing device to further develop that the introduction of the cleaning element and the Wring out better than before, but it is still inexpensive.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Auswringvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. This object is achieved according to the invention in a wringing device mentioned type solved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Auf vorteilhafte und bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche bezug.The subclaims take on advantageous and preferred refinements reference.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist vorgesehen, dass das Reinigungselement durch einen von der Aufnahme getrennten Einführtrichter, der am Halterahmen festlegbar ist, der Aufnahme zuführbar ist. Damit sind für das Einführen und für das Auspressen des Mopps getrennte Teile vorgesehen. Die getrennten Teile ermöglichen es, beim Einführen einen großen Durchmesser und beim Auswringen im Auspresskorb einen kleinen Durchmesser vorzusehen. Durch die Aufgabentrennung ist die Konstruktion des Auswringkorbes und die der Einführhilfe entkoppelt.
Der vorgeschaltete Einführtrichter bildet eine Zentrierung für die vertikal nach unten hängenden Zotten oder Streifen des Mopps. Die undurchbrochene, kegelstumpfförmige Fläche des Einführtrichters leitet das Moppbündel vollständig in den Auswringkorb. Durch die Bündelung verbleiben kaum Reinigungselemente außerhalb des Auswringkorbes. Beim Eindrücken wird die gesamte beim vorangegangenen Wischvorgang aufgenommene Flüssigkeit aus den Textilstreifen entfernt. Absorbiertes Schmutzwasser gelangt nicht mehr zurück auf den Fußboden. Mit dem Einführtrichter als vorgeschalteter Hilfsvorrichtung gelingt das Einführen und folglich das Auswringen des Reinigungselementes besser. Die Reinigung des Fußbodens ist schneller und effizienter.
To achieve the object, it is provided that the cleaning element can be fed to the receptacle through an insertion funnel which is separate from the receptacle and which can be fixed on the holding frame. This means that separate parts are provided for inserting and pressing out the mop. The separate parts make it possible to provide a large diameter for insertion and a small diameter for wringing out in the squeeze basket. Due to the separation of duties, the construction of the wringer basket and that of the insertion aid are decoupled.
The upstream insertion funnel forms a centering for the villi or strips of the mop hanging vertically downwards. The unbroken, frustoconical surface of the insertion funnel guides the mop bundle completely into the wringing basket. The bundling means that hardly any cleaning elements remain outside the wringing basket. When pressed in, all of the liquid absorbed during the previous wiping process is removed from the textile strips. Absorbed dirty water no longer gets back on the floor. With the insertion funnel as an upstream auxiliary device, the insertion and consequently wringing out of the cleaning element is more successful. Cleaning the floor is faster and more efficient.

Als getrennte Bauteile sind die Aufnahme und der Einführtrichter kostengünstig herstellbar. Bei geeigneter Formgebung sind sie mit hoher Packungsdichte stapelbar, wodurch sich Transport- und Lagerkosten verringern.As a separate component, the holder and the insertion funnel are inexpensive produced. With a suitable shape, they have a high packing density stackable, which reduces transport and storage costs.

Für die Festlegung des Einführtrichters am Halterahmen stehen dem Fachmann eine Reihe von Verbindungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung. Der Einführtrichter kann am Halterahmen beispielsweise durch eine Klemmeinrichtung oder durch einen Schnappverschluss festgelegt sein. The specialist is responsible for fixing the insertion funnel to the holding frame a number of connection options are available. The introductory funnel can on the holding frame, for example, by a clamping device or by a snap lock must be set.

Günstig ist es, wenn der Einführtrichter ein kegelartiges Mantelteil und einen angeformten Stützrahmen umfasst, der mit dem Halterahmen fest verbindbar ist. Dadurch können die Aufnahme und der Einführtrichter als getrennte Bauteile hergestellt und mit geringen Kosten gelagert und transportiert werden. Erst vor Auslieferung an den Kunden werden die Bauteile fest verbunden. Sie sind damit während des Gebrauchs unverlierbar aneinander gefügt.It is favorable if the insertion funnel has a conical jacket part and a integrally formed support frame which is firmly connected to the holding frame. This allows the receptacle and the insertion funnel to be separate components manufactured and stored and transported at low cost. Just before Delivery to the customer, the components are firmly connected. You are with it joined captively during use.

Hinsichtlich der Herstellungskosten ist es sehr günstig, wenn das kegelartige Mantelteil und der Stützrahmen einstückig aus einem polymeren Werkstoff gefertigt sind. Die Verbindung zwischen Aufnahme und Einführtrichter ist bevorzugt eine unlösbare Steck- oder Schnappverbindung oder kann eine Schweiß- oder Klebeverbindung sein.In terms of manufacturing costs, it is very cheap if the cone-like Sheath part and the support frame in one piece from a polymeric material are made. The connection between the receptacle and the insertion funnel is preferably a non-detachable plug or snap connection or can Welded or adhesive connection.

Die Auswringvorrichtung stellt einen im Haushalt verwendeten Massenartikel dar. Günstig ist, wenn das Mantelteil und/oder der Stützrahmen Durchbrechungen aufweist und so Material und Gewicht gespart wird. Diese Durchbrechungen sind in Form und Größe so bemessen, dass die Zotten oder Streifen sich darin nicht verheddern. Die geometrische Form der Durchbrechungen in Mantelteil und Stützrahmen kann mit Vorteil auf die Form des verwendeten Wischmopps abgestimmt sein. Auf diese Weise wiederspiegelt sich die ästhetische Form des Wischmopps in der Auswringvorrichtung, was beim Benutzer ansprechend aufgenommen werden kann.The wringing device represents a mass article used in the household. It is favorable if the jacket part and / or the support frame have openings has and so material and weight is saved. These breakthroughs are the shape and size should be such that the villi or stripes are not in it tangled. The geometrical shape of the openings in the jacket part and Support frame can be used to advantage on the shape of the mop be coordinated. In this way, the aesthetic form of the is reflected Mops in the wringer, which is appealing to the user can be included.

Bevorzugt wird ein kegelartiges Mantelteil, welches mit einer Horizontalebene einen Winkel zwischen 15° und 70° einschließt. Dadurch erreicht man eine sehr gute Zuführung und dass abtriefendes Schmutzwasser in den Auswringkorb gut abfließt.A conical jacket part is preferred, which has a horizontal plane encloses an angle between 15 ° and 70 °. This way you achieve a very good supply and that draining dirty water in the wringing basket is good flows.

Eine sehr gute Bündelungswirkung lässt sich durch das kegelartige Mantelteil insbesondere dann erzielen, wenn ein unterer Rand eine untere Durchtrittsfläche umschließt, die kongruent oder kleiner zu einem oberen Rand der Aufnahme ausgebildet ist. Durch diese zumindest deckungsgleichen Durchtrittsflächen erreicht man, dass die Zotten des Reinigungselementes sich zwischen Auspresskorb und Einführtrichter nicht verheddern. Bei einer längeren Gebrauchsdauer kann sich der obere Rand der Aufnahme aufgrund der plastischen Verformung der einzelnen Federschenkel der Aufnahme einengen. Solange die untere Durchtrittsfläche kleiner ist als die vom oberen Rand der Aufnahme umgrenzte Fläche ist, bleibt die zentrierende Wirkung des Trichters erhalten.A very good bundling effect can be achieved through the conical jacket part in particular if a lower edge has a lower passage area encloses the congruent or smaller to an upper edge of the shot is trained. Through these at least congruent passages you achieve that the villi of the cleaning element between Do not tangle the squeeze basket and insertion funnel. With a longer one Service life can be the top of the shot due to the Constrict the plastic deformation of the individual spring legs of the holder. As long as the lower passage area is smaller than that of the upper edge of the Is limited area, the centering effect of the funnel remains receive.

Unter dem Gesichtspunkt geringer Herstellungskosten hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn das kegelartige Mantelteil und der Stützrahmen rotationssymmetrisch um eine Achse ausgebildet sind und der Durchmesser des oberen Randes des Mantelteils um das 1,2-fache bis 2-fache größer ist als der Durchmesser der unteren Durchtrittsfläche.From the point of view of low manufacturing costs, it has proven to be advantageous proved if the cone-like shell part and the support frame are rotationally symmetrical about an axis and the diameter of the upper edge of the jacket part is 1.2 times to 2 times larger than that Diameter of the lower passage area.

In Spritzgusstechnik lässt sich die Auswringvorrichtung mit geringen Kosten aus Kunststoff fertigen. Eine effiziente Fußbodenreinigung ist insbesondere dann gegeben, wenn die Aufnahme mit flexiblen, formbaren Wandteilen ausgebildet ist die ihre lichte Weite beim Eindrücken des Reinigungselementes verringern oder vergrößern.In the injection molding technique, the wringing device can be designed with low costs Manufacture plastic. Efficient floor cleaning is especially important then given when the receptacle is designed with flexible, moldable wall parts which reduce their clear width when pressing in the cleaning element or enlarge.

Ausführung der ErfindungImplementation of the invention

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Schnittzeichnung einer ersten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Auswringvorrichtung bei der die Aufnahme 1 als Auswringkorb ausgebildet ist und durch einen Halterahmen 5 an einem darunter liegenden Behälter 6 festgelegt ist. Dem Auswring- oder Auspresskorb 1 ist ein Einführtrichter 2 vorgelagert, der durch einen Stützrahmen 3 am Halterahmen 5 festgelegt ist. Die Zeichnung in Figur 5 zeigt bevorzugt die Verbindung zwischen Einführtrichter und Halterahmen als eine Klemm- oder Klebeverbindung zwischen einem Ansatz auf dem Halterahmen 5 und dem Stützrahmen 3. Die Verbindung kann aber auch durch eine Schweiß- bzw. durch eine unlösbare Schnappverbindung gebildet werden. Denkbar ist auch eine einstückige Ausführung. Leicht zu erkennen ist ein kegelartiges Mantelteil 7, welches in einem Abstand 11 zum Scheitel der Federelemente 10 dem Auswringkorb 1 vorgeschaltet ist. Bei der Fußbodenreinigung wird ein, in Figur 1 nicht näher dargestellter Wischmopp mit vertikal nach unten hängenden Fransen oder Zotten von oben her in die Auswringvorrichtung eingeführt. Dabei passiert das Reinigungselement die durch den oberen Rand 17 umschlossene Durchtrittsfläche und erfährt zunächst durch das kegelförmige Mantelteil 7 eine Zentrierung in Richtung des Auspresskorbes 1. Durch die abwärts gerichtete Einpresskraft kommt es bei dieser ersten Ausführungsform im weiteren Verlauf dazu, dass die Scheitelpunkte der Federelemente 10 am oberen Rand 9 der Aufnahme 1 sich in Richtung der Symmetrieachse 12 verlagern. Die Federelemente 10 pressen gegen die Streifen des Reinigungselementes. In Figur 1 ist dieses Auspressen durch Pfeile, einen nach unten zeigenden und zwei in Richtung der Symmetrieachse 12, in das Innere des Auswringkorbes weisende, schematisch angedeutet. Das beim Auspressen ausgequetschte Schmutzwasser fließt zwischen den Federelementen 10 in den Eimer 6. Das kegelartige Mantelteil 7 weist Durchbrechungen 15 auf, deren Form und Größe aber so gewählt ist, dass die Zotten oder Fransen des Wischmopps sicher in das Zentrum des Auswringbehälters geführt werden und nicht verheddern. Abtropfendes Schmutzwasser wird durch Löcher 16 im Halterahmen 5 in den Eimer 6 abgeleitet. Wie in Figur 1 leicht erkennbar, ist die durch den unteren Rand 8 umgrenzte untere Durchtrittsfläche 18 kongruent zur Eintrittsfläche des Auswringkorbes, der durch die Scheitelpunkte der Federelemente 10 am oberen Rand 9 umschrieben wird. Das Trichterteil 7 schließt mit der Horizontalen 13 einen Winkel 14 ein, der bevorzugt zwischen 15 und 70°, besonders bevorzugt. Selbstverständlich kann das kegelstumpfförmige Trichterteil 7 natürlich auf die Form des Wischmopps abgestimmt sein, d.h. kreiskegelförmig, oval, rechteckig, quadratisch oder die Form eines n-Eckes aufweisen. Denkbar ist auch, dass die Mantelfläche des Teils 7 zur Achse 12 hin konvex oder konkav gekrümmt ist.FIG. 1 shows a sectional drawing of a first embodiment of the Wringing device according to the invention in which the receptacle 1 as Wringing basket is formed and by a holding frame 5 on one below lying container 6 is set. The wringing or squeezing basket 1 is a Introductory funnel 2, which is supported by a support frame 3 on the holding frame 5 is set. The drawing in FIG. 5 preferably shows the connection between Insertion funnel and holding frame as a clamp or adhesive connection between an approach on the support frame 5 and the support frame 3. The connection but can also by a sweat or by an insoluble Snap connection are formed. A one-piece is also conceivable Execution. A conical jacket part 7, which is in one Distance 11 to the apex of the spring elements 10 the wringing basket 1 is connected upstream. When cleaning the floor, one is not shown in detail in FIG Shown mop with fringes or villi hanging vertically downwards inserted into the wringing device from above. This is what happens Cleaning element that is enclosed by the upper edge 17 Passage area and first experiences through the conical shell part 7 Centering in the direction of the squeeze basket 1. Through the downward facing Press-in force occurs in this first embodiment in the further course to the fact that the vertices of the spring elements 10 at the upper edge 9 of the Recording 1 shift in the direction of the axis of symmetry 12. The Spring elements 10 press against the strips of the cleaning element. In figure 1 is this squeezing by arrows, one pointing down and two in Direction of the axis of symmetry 12, pointing into the interior of the wringing basket, indicated schematically. The dirty water squeezed out during squeezing flows between the spring elements 10 in the bucket 6. The conical jacket part 7 has openings 15, the shape and size of which is selected, however, that the villi or fringes of the mop are safely in the center of the Wringing container are guided and not tangled. Melted Dirty water is drained into the bucket 6 through holes 16 in the holding frame 5. As can easily be seen in FIG. 1, the one delimited by the lower edge 8 lower passage surface 18 congruent to the entry surface of the wringing basket circumscribed by the vertices of the spring elements 10 at the upper edge 9 becomes. The funnel part 7 includes an angle 14 with the horizontal 13, the preferably between 15 and 70 °, particularly preferred. Of course you can the frusto-conical funnel part 7 of course on the shape of the mop be coordinated, i.e. circular cone-shaped, oval, rectangular, square or die Have the shape of an n-corner. It is also conceivable that the outer surface of the part 7 is convex or concave toward the axis 12.

In der Darstellung der Figur 2 ist eine zweite bevorzugte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Auswringvorrichtung in einer Schnittdarstellung gezeigt. Auch hier wird der Mopp von oben her in die Auswringvorrichtung eingeführt und tritt durch die Durchtrittsflächen 17 und 18, die Grundflächen des kegelstumpfförmigen Einführtrichters 2. Im Gegensatz zu der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführung wird bei dieser Konstruktion das Auswringen des Reinigungselementes durch eine Vergrößerung der lichten Weite der Federelemente 10 des Aufnahmekorbs 1 bewirkt. Wie in Figur 2 durch zwei von der Symmetrieachse 12 weg weisende Pfeile angedeutet, bewirkt die nach unten gerichtete Auspressbewegung ein seitliches Ausweichen der tulpenkelchförmigen Federelemente 10 des Auswringkorbes 1. Auch hier wird das ausgepresste Schmutzwasser in einem darunterliegenden Putzeimer 6 gesammelt, an dessen oberen Umrandung ein Halterahmen 5, beispielsweise durch nicht dargestellte Haltekrallen, befestigt ist. Gemäß der Erfindung ist der Einführtrichter 2 vom Scheitel 9 des Auspresskorbes 1 beabstandet. Bevorzugt sind Einführtrichter 2 und Halterahmen 5 getrennte Teile. In Fig. 2 ist eine Schnappverbindung 4 gezeigt, die den Stützrahmen 3 am Halterahmen 5 festlegt. Damit ist der Einführtrichter 2 mit der Aufnahme 1 fest verbunden. Die Schnappverbindung kann lösbar aber auch unlösbar ausgeführt sein. Hinsichtlich der Kosten ist von Vorteil, dass beide Bauteile in einfachen Werkzeugen getrennt gefertigt und während der Lieferung und Zwischenlagerung sehr gut stapelbar sind. Die Transport und Lagerkosten sind dadurch gering. Der Einführtrichter 2 wird erst vor der Auslieferung an den Kunden am Halterahmen 5 montiert. Eine unlösbare Schnappverbindung hat den Vorteil, dass der Einführtrichter unverlierbar an der Aufnahme angebracht ist. Selbstverständlich kann anstelle der unlösbaren Schnappverbindung auch eine Steckverbindung, bei der durch thermische Einwirkung ein unlösbarer Formschluss erzielt wird, eingesetzt werden.
Aus Gründen der Materialersparnis und Gewichtsreduktion sind bevorzugt am kegelförmigen Mantelteil 7 und/oder am Stützrahmen 3 Durchbrechungen 15 vorgesehen. Bevorzugt zeigen die Durchbrechungen 15 ein Firmen- oder Produktzeichen oder wiederspiegeln die Form des Mopps.
2 shows a second preferred embodiment of the wringing device according to the invention in a sectional view. Here, too, the mop is inserted into the wringing device from above and passes through the passage areas 17 and 18, the base areas of the truncated cone-shaped insertion funnel 2. In contrast to the embodiment shown in FIG Width of the spring elements 10 of the receiving basket 1 causes. As indicated in FIG. 2 by two arrows pointing away from the axis of symmetry 12, the downward squeezing movement causes the tulip-shaped spring elements 10 of the squeezing basket 1 to deflect laterally Holding frame 5, for example by holding claws, not shown, is attached. According to the invention, the insertion funnel 2 is spaced from the apex 9 of the squeezing basket 1. Feed funnels 2 and holding frames 5 are preferably separate parts. In Fig. 2, a snap connection 4 is shown, which fixes the support frame 3 on the holding frame 5. The insertion funnel 2 is thus firmly connected to the receptacle 1. The snap connection can be made detachable but also non-detachable. With regard to costs, it is advantageous that both components are manufactured separately in simple tools and are very easy to stack during delivery and intermediate storage. The transport and storage costs are therefore low. The insertion funnel 2 is mounted on the holding frame 5 only before delivery to the customer. An undetachable snap connection has the advantage that the insertion funnel is captively attached to the receptacle. Of course, instead of the non-detachable snap connection, a plug-in connection can also be used, in which an insoluble positive connection is achieved by thermal action.
For reasons of material saving and weight reduction, openings 15 are preferably provided on the conical jacket part 7 and / or on the support frame 3. The openings 15 preferably show a company or product logo or reflect the shape of the mop.

Auch hier ist das kegelartige Mantelteil 7 des Einführtrichters 2 keineswegs auf die rotationssymmetrische Mantelfläche des Kegels beschränkt. So kann, wie oben erwähnt, der obere Rand 17 und/oder der untere Rand 8 durch einen Polygonzug gebildet sein, bzw. die Mantelfläche zur Einführrichtung des Mopps konvex oder konkav gekrümmt sein. Wie in der Ausführungsform der Figur 1 beschrieben, ist der durch die Scheitelpunkte der Federelemente 10 gebildete obere Rand 9 des Auspresskorbes 1 vom unteren Rand 8 des kegelförmigen Mantelteils 7 beabstandet, wodurch gemäß der Erfindung bei der konstruktiven Gestaltung der Vorrichtung die Aufgaben des Auspressens und die der leichteren Zuführung des Reinigungselementes entkoppelt sind.Here, too, the conical jacket part 7 of the insertion funnel 2 is in no way open limits the rotationally symmetrical surface area of the cone. So how mentioned above, the upper edge 17 and / or the lower edge 8 by one Polygonal be formed, or the lateral surface to the direction of insertion of the mop be convex or concave. As in the embodiment in FIG. 1 is described, which is formed by the vertices of the spring elements 10 upper edge 9 of the squeeze basket 1 from the lower edge 8 of the conical Shell part 7 spaced, whereby according to the invention in the constructive Design of the device, the tasks of squeezing and that of the lighter Feed of the cleaning element are decoupled.

Die Erfindung ist keineswegs auf Aufnahmen mit elastischen Wandelementen im Pressraum beschränkt, sondern erfasst auch Aufnahmen deren Pressraum beispielsweise durch einen Siebkelch gebildet wird. Auch hier kann durch die Erfindung einerseits der Siebkelch hinsichtlich eines effizienten Auswringens, und andererseits, der Einführtrichter hinsichtlich einer optimalen Zuführwirkung voneinander getrennt bemessen werden.The invention is in no way based on recordings with elastic wall elements Press room limited, but also records images of their press room is formed, for example, by a sieve cup. Here too, the Invention of the sieve cup on the one hand with regard to efficient wringing, and on the other hand, the insertion funnel for an optimal feeding effect be dimensioned separately.
