Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a car wash with at least one cleaning device, the one Variety of rotating and / or translationally movable, has tab-like cleaning elements, each a back element with two superimposed and have interconnected layers of a carrier material, which on their outside facing away from each other wear a cleaning plush made of cleaning fibers, essentially several strip-like cleaning elements arranged in parallel next to each other and at one axial end area - the head area - are interconnected.
  • the invention further relates to a cleaning element arrangement for a car wash.
  • DE 198 11 942 also discloses several of these Cleaning elements to form a unit or cleaning arrangement summarize, then several cleaning elements essentially parallel to each other arranged and at an axial end region - the Head area - through a crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the Carrier felt extending cleaning elements connected are. A unit formed in this way can easily on a corresponding carrier of a cleaning device be fixed.
  • cleaning elements are usually used, which are about 10 cm wide. It has however, it turned out that these cleaning elements in some cases not optimal cleaning results achieve, especially when the cleaning elements are not particularly long, so they are comparatively long possess high strength. In these cases can namely with the cleaning elements in part Corner and edge areas cannot be reached.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a car wash of the type mentioned in such a way that optimal Cleaning results can be achieved. Furthermore should a cleaning arrangement for such a car wash can be specified.
  • strip-like sub-elements created by the division the cleaning elements are formed likewise are cut from their free end, these also longitudinal and free Incisions made at the end are significantly shorter and are only about 10 to 20% of the length of the cleaning elements need to stretch.
  • the cleaning fibers and the carrier material of the Back element preferably consist of a Material that has a low water absorption capacity has so that the cleaning elements by water absorption don't get too heavy.
  • suitable materials for example polyester, polyether, polyamide and propylene, with polyester adding the additional Advantage has that it has good resistance to alkaline Environments.
  • the two backing material layers of the back element can connected together in any suitable manner be, where it has proven to be expedient, the two Layers to glue or in particular with one against high alkaline resistant yarn made of Kevlaer material to sew up.
  • the double-layered back element from a carrier material strip consists essentially of along its Longitudinal centerline is folded up, the two superimposed layers at least in the area of edge areas coming into contact with each other, in particular are glued or sewn.
  • the support material over a large area a thread density of about 17 warp threads / cm and 15 wefts / cm woven and the cleaning plush on the Carrier material can be attached in a known manner.
  • the flat, carpet-like structures are then made into strips cut up to complete the cleaning element can be folded on top of each other, with the Carrier material layers are interconnected.
  • FIG. 1 In the figure is the structure of a cleaning element arrangement according to the present invention, which are intended for use in car washes.
  • the cleaning element arrangement comprises several shown in Embodiment four cleaning elements 1, which are combined into one unit.
  • the cleaning elements are for this 1 aligned parallel to each other and at its one axial end area - the head area -
  • a carrier felt not shown interconnected, which comprises the cleaning elements 1 and sewn to them.
  • each a felt insert 2 for reinforcement sewn.
  • the carrier felt is a cross to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning elements 1 extending keder rod 3 sewn in, which forms a thickening around the unit in a receptacle of a rotating carrier, for example to be able to stab a car wash.
  • the cleaning elements 1 each have a back element, which consists of a strip of carrier material which folded substantially along its center line is, with the two layers lying on top of each other at least in the area of those coming into contact with one another Edge areas as well as interconnected, for example are glued or sewn.
  • the carrier material consists of plastic threads, the one have low water absorption capacity, such as Polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene or polyamide threads, and with a thread density of 17 warp threads / cm and 15 wefts / cm are woven.
  • the back element carries on the outside a known, knitted Cleaning fibers existing cleaning plush in the usual Way is fixed to the carrier material.
  • the cleaning fibers of the cleaning plush which is a pile height of at least 5 mm, in particular from 7 to 9 mm, like the fabric of the polyester back element, Polyethylene, polyamide or propylene exist.
  • the cleaning elements 1 are strip-shaped, with a width of about 9 to 11 cm and a Have a length of about 40 cm up to several meters can.
  • the cleaning elements 1 in each case one running in their longitudinal direction, central incision 4 on the cleaning elements 1 starting from its opposite the head area free end in two about 5 cm wide Sub-elements 1A, 1B divides.
  • the incision 4 extends thereby close to the area in which the cleaning elements 1 in the manner described above are connected by the carrier felt. In practice it has it turned out that the incisions are roughly between 50 and 80% of the length of the cleaning elements 1 extend should.
  • the sub-elements 1A, 1B are also from the foot end of the cleaning elements 1 outgoing central incisions 9 provided by which the sub-elements 1A in Area of their free ends in about 2.5 cm wide strips be divided.
  • the incisions 5 extend approximately over 10 to 20% of the total length of the cleaning elements 1.
