Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Reinigungsvorrichtung bestehend aus einem Flächengebilde, dessen beide Seiten mit Reinigungsflächen versehen sind und welches eine Halterungsschlaufe aufweist, deren Schlaufenenden im Bereich der Befestigung an dem Flächengebilde eng beieinander angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a cleaning device consisting of a sheet whose both sides are provided with cleaning surfaces and which has a mounting loop, the loop ends are arranged close to each other in the region of the attachment to the sheet.

Eine derartige Reinigungsvorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der EP 0 060 076 A1 bekannt. Diese als Wasch- oder Putzlappen ausgebildete Reinigungsvorrichtung hat den Nachteil, daß bei der Reinigungsarbeit nicht an der Hand fixierbar ist. Die an einer Ecke des Flächengebildes angeordnete Halterungsschlaufe ist nämlich lediglich zum Aufhängen an einem Haken und nicht zur Fixierung an der Hand vorgesehen.Such a cleaning device is known, for example, from EP 0 060 076 A1. This trained as a washing or cleaning cloth cleaning device has the disadvantage that in the cleaning work is not fixed to the hand. The arranged at a corner of the fabric support loop is namely provided only for hanging on a hook and not for fixing to the hand.

Die nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten und gut manuell führbaren Waschhandschuhe haben den Nachteil, daß während des Reinigungsvorganges die darin befindliche Hand unangenehm durch die verwendete Reinigungsflüssigkeit durchweicht wird.The washing gloves known from the prior art and easily manageable have the disadvantage that during the cleaning process, the hand located therein is soiled by the cleaning liquid used.

Es ist weiterhin bekannter Stand der Technik, zur verbesserten Führung und Fixierung von Bürsten an der Hand die Bürsten mit einer Halterungsschlaufe auszustatten, deren Enden weitauseinanderliegend, an den äußeren Rändern der Bürsten angebracht sind. Diese Schlaufen sind zur Einführung der Hand oder der Hand mit Ausnahme des Daumens bestimmt. Der Nachteil hierbei ist, daß diese Halterungsschlaufen im lockeren Zustand eine nur ungenügende Fixierung der Bürste an der Hand ermöglichen und nur dann Halt gewähren, wenn sie sich eng um die Hand schlingen. Zu diesem Zwecke gestaltete elastische oder größenverstellbare Ausführungsformen werden jedoch bei längerer Benutzung oftmals als einengend und störend empfunden.It is also known in the art, for improved guidance and fixation of brushes on the hand, to equip the brushes with a retaining loop, the ends of which are arranged far apart, on the outer edges of the brushes. These loops are intended for the insertion of the hand or the hand except the thumb. The disadvantage of this is that these support loops in the loose state allow only insufficient fixation of the brush on the hand and only then grant grip, when they are tight around the hand. Elastic or size-adjustable embodiments designed for this purpose, however, are often perceived as restrictive and annoying during prolonged use.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Reinigungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art mit einer Handhalterung zu versehen, mit welcher die Reinigungsvorrichtung im Bereich der Handfläche an der Hand fixierbar ist, ohne die Hand einzuengen, und die es möglich macht, bei der Reinigungsarbeit alternativ die eine oder die andere Reinigungsfläche zum Einsatz zu bringen.It is an object of the invention to provide the cleaning device of the type mentioned with a hand holder, with which the cleaning device in the palm of the hand is fixed to the hand without narrowing the hand, and makes it possible in the cleaning work alternatively one or to use the other cleaning surface.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung ausgehend von einer Reinigungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art vor, daß die Schlaufenenden der Halterungsschlaufe zur Festlegung der Hand oder von Teilen der Hand im Flächenbereich des Flächengebildes angeordnet sind und daß zwischen oder unmittelbar neben den Schlaufenenden der Halterungsschlaufe eine das Flächengebilde durchsetzende Durchtrittsöffnung zur Durchführung der Halterungsschlaufe auf die eine oder die andere Seite des Flächengebildes angeordnet ist.To solve this problem, the invention proposes, starting from a cleaning device of the type mentioned above, that the loop ends of the support loop for fixing the hand or parts of the hand are arranged in the surface region of the fabric and that between or immediately adjacent to the loop ends of the support loop a the fabric passing through opening for the implementation of the support loop on one or the other side of the fabric is arranged.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik liegt darin, daß die Reinigungsvorrichtung bei Durchführen beispielsweise des Mittel- und/oder des Ringfingers durch die Halterungsschlaufe sicher an der Innenfläche der Hand fixiert wird, ohne daß die Hand im übrigen eingeengt wird. Die seitlich angrenzenden Finger üben zusätzlich eine straffende Wirkung auf die Halterungsschlaufe aus, so daß eine vorteilhaft gute Führung der Reinigungsvorrichtung während des Reinigungsvorganges gewährleistet ist, ohne daß Halterungsschlaufe eng an dem oder den durchgeführten Fingern anliegen muß. Die zwischen oder unmittelbar neben den Schlaufenenden der Halterungsschlaufe angeordnete, das Flächengebilde durchsetzende Durchtrittsöffnung zur Durchführung der Halterungsschlaufe auf die eine oder die andere Seite des Flächengebildes ermöglicht es, beide Seiten der flächenhaften Reinigungsvorrichtung als Reinigungsseiten zum Einsatz zu bringen, da die Schlaufe nach Durchführung auf die jeweils andere Seite die jeweils als Reinigungsseite eingesetzte Fläche nicht stört.The advantage of the invention over the prior art is that the cleaning device is securely fixed when performing, for example, the middle and / or the ring finger through the support loop on the inner surface of the hand, without the hand is otherwise restricted. The laterally adjacent fingers also exert a tightening effect on the support loop, so that an advantageous good guidance of the cleaning device is ensured during the cleaning process without that support loop must fit tightly against the finger or fingers performed. The arranged between or immediately adjacent to the loop ends of the support loop, the sheet passing through the passage for carrying the support loop on one or the other side of the fabric makes it possible to use both sides of the planar cleaning device as cleaning pages for use, since the loop after implementation on the each other side does not interfere with the area used as cleaning page.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, die Halterungsschlaufe größenverstellbar auszubilden, um einen möglichst großen Spielraum hinsichtlich des Fingerdurchmessers der Benutzer einzuräumen. Die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsvorrichtung ist dabei zweckmäßigerweise als Waschlappen, Putzlappen oder Schwamm ausgebildet, und kann zur Reinigung im Haushalt ebenso wie zur Körperreinigung eingesetzt werden.Furthermore, it is advantageous to make the mounting loop adjustable in size in order to give the largest possible margin in terms of the finger diameter of the user. The cleaning device according to the invention is expediently designed as a wash cloth, cloth or sponge, and can be used for cleaning in the home as well as for body cleansing.

Zweckmäßigerweise besteht des Flächengebilde der Reinigungsvorrichtung aus textilem Material. Dabei kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn das Flächengebilde eine gewisse Eigensteifigkeit aufweist. Die Eigensteifigkeit ermöglicht die Nutzung der gesamten Reinigungsfläche der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsvorrichtung, auch wenn diese wesentlich größer als die Fläche der aufliegenden Hand dimensioniert ist.Conveniently, the sheet of the cleaning device made of textile material. It may be advantageous if the sheet has a certain inherent rigidity. The inherent rigidity allows the use of the entire cleaning surface of the cleaning device according to the invention, even if it is dimensioned substantially larger than the surface of the resting hand.

Für die Reinigungswirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsvorrichtung ist es zweckmäßig, Polstoff zur Ausbildung des textilen Gebildes einzusetzen, da dieser sehr gute Flüssigkeitsaufnahmefähigkeit aufweist. Die Polfäden eignen sich in besonderem Maße zur Reinigung unebener Oberflächen im Haushalt oder auch der mit Poren versehenen Körperhaut. Hierbei ist es besonders zweckmäßig, einen Polstoff mit Mikrofasern enthaltenden Polfäden einzusetzen, da diese eine besonders große reinigungsaktive Oberfläche bereitstellen.For the cleaning effect of the cleaning device according to the invention, it is expedient to use polymeric material for the formation of the textile structure, since this has very good liquid absorption capacity. The pile threads are particularly suitable for cleaning uneven surfaces in the home or even with the pores provided body skin. In this case, it is particularly expedient to use a pile material with pile threads containing microfibers, since these provide a particularly large cleaning-active surface.

Die beiden Reinigungsseiten des Flächengebildes können dabei gleich oder auch unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise können sie sich hinsichtlich des Reinigungsmaterials unterscheiden. So kann es vorteilhaft sein, daß sich die Reinigungsmaterialien grundsätzlich unterscheiden, d. h. z. B. eine Reinigungsseite aus Textil und die andere aus Leder oder Schwamm auszubilden. Auch können sich beide Reinigungsseiten bei Ausbildung als Textil z. B. als Polstoff hinsichtlich der Faserdichte, des Fasertiters und/oder der Faserart unterscheiden. So kann beispielsweise eine Reinigungsseite zur abrasiven Reinigung mit Fasern großer Steifigkeit ausgerüstet sein und die andere zur Nachpolitur oder Nachreinigung eher aufnahmefähige, weiche Fasern, beispielsweise Mikrofasern in besonderer Dichte zur Bereitstellung einer großen reinigungsaktiven Oberfläche enthalten. Es ist dabei technisch besonders einfach, die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungseinrichtung aus zwei Flächenlagen zu fertigen, welche zur Ausbildung der Reinigungsvorrichtung aneinandergefügt werden.The two cleaning sides of the fabric can be the same or different. For example, they may differ with respect to the cleaning material. Thus, it may be advantageous that the cleaning materials are fundamentally different, ie, for example, one cleaning side of textile and the other of leather or sponge form. Also, both sides cleaning when training as a textile z. B. differ as a polymer in terms of fiber density, the fiber titer and / or the type of fiber. For example, a cleaning page for abrasive cleaning be equipped with fibers of high rigidity and contain the other for post-polishing or post-cleaning more receptive, soft fibers, such as microfibers in particular density to provide a large cleaning-active surface. It is technically particularly simple to manufacture the cleaning device according to the invention from two surface layers, which are joined together to form the cleaning device.

Die Halterungsschlaufe ist dabei vorteilhafterweise aus flexiblem, reißfestem Material gefertigt, da sie besonders großer mechanischer Beanspruchung unterliegt. Sie ist daher zweckmäßigerweise auch besonders stabil, beispielsweise durch Mehrfachnähte und/oder Verklebung oder Verschweißung, etc. an der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsvorrichtung befestigt. Sie kann beispielsweise durch ein Band gebildet werden, dessen zwei Lösungsenden an der Fläche fixiert sind oder auch durch einen kreisförmigen Textilring, der an der Fläche fixiert ist. In diesem Falle sind die Enden der Halterungsschlaufe zwangsläufig aneinandergrenzend, das heißt besonders dicht beieinanderliegend. Die Durchtrittsöffnung kann in diesem Fall selbstverständlich nur neben der Haltungsschlaufe angeordnet sein.The mounting loop is advantageously made of flexible, tear-resistant material, since it is subject to particularly high mechanical stress. It is therefore expediently also particularly stable, for example, by multiple seams and / or gluing or welding, etc. attached to the cleaning device according to the invention. It can be formed, for example, by a band whose two solvent ends are fixed to the surface or by a circular textile ring which is fixed to the surface. In this case, the ends of the support loop are necessarily adjacent, that is very close together. Of course, the passage opening can in this case only be arranged next to the holding loop.

Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend anhand von in Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in FIGS.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 ist als Waschlappen ausgebildet und aus einem Mikrofaser-Polgebilde mit hoher Faserdichte gefertigt, um eine besonders hohe Aufnahmefähigkeit für Schmutz und Flüssigkeiten zu gewährleisten. Die Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 ist mit einer Halterungsschlaufe 2 versehen, die aus einem reißfestem Textilband besteht, welches durch stabile Mehrfachvernähung an eng nebeneinander angeordneten Befestigungsstellen mit der Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 vernäht ist. Die Halteschlaufe 2 ist in der Querachse der Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 zentral und in der Längsachse innerhalb der oberen Hälfte der Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 angeordnet. Diese Anordnung ist besonders vorteilhaft, da sie in etwa den Proportionen einer aufliegenden Hand mit durch die Halterungsschlaufe 2 durchgeführtem Mittelfinger entspricht. Auch die Form der Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 ist ergonomisch an die Form einer aufliegenden, während des Reinigungsprozesses führenden Hand angepaßt.The cleaning device 1 shown in Figure 1 is designed as a wash cloth and made of a microfiber Polgebilde with high fiber density, to ensure a particularly high absorption capacity for dirt and liquids. The cleaning device 1 is provided with a holding loop 2, which consists of a tear-resistant textile tape, which is sewn by stable Mehrfachvernähung at closely spaced attachment locations with the cleaning device 1. The retaining loop 2 is arranged centrally in the transverse axis of the cleaning device 1 and in the longitudinal axis within the upper half of the cleaning device 1. This arrangement is particularly advantageous since it corresponds approximately to the proportions of a resting hand with the middle finger passed through the holding loop 2. The shape of the cleaning device 1 is ergonomically adapted to the shape of an overlying, leading during the cleaning process hand.

Zwischen den beiden Befestigungsstellen der Halterungsschlaufe oder in deren unmittelbarer Nähe befindet sich eine Durchtrittsöffnung 3 in der Reinigungsvorrichtung 1, durch die hindurch die Halterungsschlaufe 2 geführt werden kann, um sie auf der einen oder der anderen Seite der Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 in gleicher Weise zur Fixierung der Hand verwenden zu können.Between the two attachment points of the support loop or in the immediate vicinity is a passage opening 3 in the cleaning device 1, through which the support loop 2 can be performed to them on one or the other side of the cleaning device 1 in the same way for fixing the hand to be able to use.

Figur 2a stellt eine als Putzlappen ausgebildete erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 in Querschnittsansicht dar. Der Putzlappen ist aus zwei unterschiedlich ausgebildeten Textillagen aus Polstoff gefertigt, wobei die eine Lage 5 Polyestermikrofasern einer hohen Dichte von 200.000 pro cm2 enthält. Die andere Textillage 6 enthält Polyestermikrofasern in mittlerer Dichte (100.000 pro cm2) und weist zusätzlich Bürstenfasern 7 auf. Diese Abrasionsseite ist daher zur mechanisch/chemischen Vorreinigung bzw. Ablösung hartnäckiger Flecken geeignet, wohingegen sich die Nachreinigungsseite 5 durch ihre besonders große reinigungsaktive, weiche Oberfläche auszeichnet, welche zur Aufnahme des angelösten Schmutzes und zur Nachpolitur geeignet ist. Die Halterungsschlaufe 2 besteht aus einem sehr reißfesten Textilband. Die Enden 8 des die Halteschlaufe 2 bildenden Textilbandes sind zwischen die beiden unterschiedlichen Lagen 5/6 des Putzlappens gefügt und an den Rändern 4 der Durchtrittsöffnung 3 stabil durch Mehrfachnähte an den Textillagen 5 und 6 fixiert. Die Haltungsschlaufe 2 ist so dimensioniert, daß sie in etwa einen Umfang von 8 cm aufweist und so für die Aufnahme eines durchschnittlich dimensionierten Mittelfingers geeignet ist. Beim Reingungsvorgang ist zur Vorreinigung zunächst die Abrasionsseite 6 zu verwenden, wobei die Halterungsschlaufe 2 zunächst zur Nachreinigungsseite 5 des Putzlappens 1 geführt wird, um dort zur Befestigung an der Hand zu dienen. Anschließend kann sie einfach durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 3 geführt werden (siehe Figur 2b), so daß die Nachreinigung oder Politur mit der Nachreinigungsseite 5 erfolgen kann.FIG. 2 a shows a cleaning device 1 according to the invention designed as a rag in cross-sectional view. The rag is made of two differently designed textile layers made of polymere, wherein the one layer contains 5 polyester microfibers of a high density of 200,000 per cm 2 . The other textile layer 6 contains polyester microfibers in medium density (100,000 per cm 2 ) and additionally has brush fibers 7. This Abrasionsseite is therefore suitable for mechanical / chemical pre-cleaning or detachment of stubborn stains, whereas the Nachreinigungsseite 5 is characterized by its particularly large cleaning-active, soft surface, which is suitable for receiving the loosened dirt and Nachpolitur. The mounting loop 2 consists of a very tear-resistant fabric tape. The ends 8 of the retaining loop 2 forming textile tape are joined between the two different layers 5/6 of the rag and on the Edges 4 of the passage opening 3 stably fixed by multiple seams on the textile layers 5 and 6. The holding loop 2 is dimensioned so that it has approximately a circumference of 8 cm and is thus suitable for receiving an average-sized middle finger. During the cleaning process, the abrasion side 6 is first to be used for the pre-cleaning, wherein the holding loop 2 is first guided to the after-cleaning side 5 of the cleaning rag 1 in order to serve there for fastening to the hand. Then it can be easily passed through the passage opening 3 (see Figure 2b), so that the post-cleaning or polishing can be done with the Nachreinigungsseite 5.

In ähnlicher Ausgestaltung kann die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsvorrichtung 1 als Körperwaschlappen mit unterschiedlich ausgebildeten Reinigungsseiten verwendet werden, wobei zweckmäßigerweise Materialien eingesetzt werden, die besonders körper- bzw. hautfreundlich sind. Die Verwendung der Abrasionsseite bewirkt dabei einen vorteilhaften Peeling-Effekt und die Nachreinigungsseite eignet sich besonders gut zur Reinigung empfindlicher Körperpartien.In a similar embodiment, the cleaning device 1 according to the invention can be used as a body wash cloth with differently designed cleaning pages, wherein expediently materials are used which are particularly body or skin friendly. The use of the abrasion side causes an advantageous peeling effect and the Nachreinigungsseite is particularly well suited for the cleaning of sensitive parts of the body.
