Definitions
- Wiping device Wiping device, squeezing device and wiping system
- the present invention relates to a wiper device according to the preamble of claim 1, a squeezing device according to the preamble of claim 19, a container device according to the preamble of claim 33
- Wiping system according to the preamble of claim 38 and a use of an extrusion device for pressing out a wiping element or textile of a wiping device.
- a wiping device with a wiping plate which carries a wiping element or textile on the underside, can be used.
- the wiping textile is usually rinsed more frequently in water, a wiping or cleaning liquid, a cleaning liquor or the like. Subsequently, it is necessary to squeeze out the wiping textile in order to drive off excess liquid absorbed by the wiping textile and to obtain a residual moisture content desired for the respective use.
- the present invention relates to a wiper device in which the wiper plate holding the wiper element or textile is connected in an articulated manner to a handle.
- a cardan joint is provided between the handle and the wiper plate.
- Such a wiper device is very easy to handle and has proven itself in practice.
- pressing out the wiping textile is problematic because, due to the articulated connection to the handle, the wiping plate can evade in an undesirable manner.
- a wiper device in which the wiper plate is connected to the handle in an articulated manner is also referred to as an articulated wiper device. From WO 98/06316 AI, which forms the starting point of the present invention, a squeezing device for an articulated wiper device is known.
- the squeezing device is arranged on an associated container and has an inclined support surface which is provided with openings.
- a counter bearing device is arranged at a distance from and above the bearing surface, so that when the handle is folded down, the wiper plate can be inserted obliquely downwards with a longitudinal edge between the bearing surface and the counter bearing device.
- the handle is supported on the counter bearing device and acts as a two-armed lever in such a way that the underside of the wiper plate is pressed against the bearing surface and the wiping textile is pressed out accordingly.
- the disadvantage is that in the arrangement mentioned, only relatively low squeezing forces can be exerted due to unfavorable leverage conditions and the risk of the container tipping over.
- a further disadvantage is that the wiper device can slide out of the squeezing device when pressed out. This is particularly favored by a corresponding force component directed against the direction of insertion, which the handle exerts on the wiper plate when pressed out.
- FR 1.356.255 A discloses a similar squeezing device for a rigid wiper device.
- the support surface is formed by a tiltable support plate. This serves to distribute the pressure as uniformly as possible over the wiping element or textile to be pressed.
- US 3,562,841 discloses an extrusion device for a wiper device, in which a handle is rigidly connected to a wiper plate carrying a wiper element.
- the handle has a protruding toward the top in the area of the wiper plate Holding section, which can hinge behind a protruding securing section of a counter bearing device of the squeezing device.
- the counter bearing device is arranged in the region of an upper end of a bearing surface of the squeezing device, so that the wiper device or its wiper plate can be inserted between the counter bearing device and the bearing surface by an upward movement with the holding section ahead.
- the wiping element can then be pressed out on the support surface by pivoting the handle.
- this squeezing device is not suitable for an articulated wiping device.
- US 3,299,458 A discloses a solution similar to the aforementioned wiping device and squeezing device.
- EP 0 122 675 B1 discloses an articulated wiper device and an associated squeezing device.
- the squeezing device has a curved, elastically deformable bearing surface and spaced-apart counter bearing elements.
- the wiper device has counter-elements which can be brought into engagement with the counter-bearing elements in such a way that by swiveling a handle of the wiper device about a pivot axis running parallel to the longitudinal extension of a wiper plate of the wiper device, the wiper plate with a wiper textile arranged thereon can be pressed against the bearing surface.
- the counter elements are designed as separate levers which are coupled to an articulated shaft and which in turn can be pivoted away from the wiper plate against the counter bearing elements by pivoting the handle.
- an articulated element which is pivotable from the handle and which is mounted on the wiper plate has lateral extensions which form counter-elements and can be supported on the counter-bearing elements.
- GB 330 543 A discloses a similar articulated wiper.
- a lever is coupled to a handle of the wiper device and serves as a counter element for supporting on a counter bearing element of an associated squeezing device.
- a wiper device with a handle.
- a wiping head with a wiping element is firmly connected to the rigid handle.
- the wiping element is arranged on a convexly curved underside of the wiping head.
- the handle is curved in the area of the wiper head in such a way that its end can engage under a counter bearing device of an adapted squeezing device. By swiveling the handle, the wiping element can then be expressed on a support surface which is adapted to its curvature.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an articulated wiper device, a squeezing device and a container device for such a wiper device and a wiper system and a use of a squeezing device for such a wiper device, so that a safe pressing out of a wiping element or textile of the wiper device is simple Structure and easy handling is made possible.
- the above object is achieved by a wiper device according to claim 1, a squeezing device according to claim 19, a container device according to claim 33, a wiper system according to claim 38 or a use according to claim 40.
- Advantageous further developments are the subject of the sub-claims.
- a basic idea of the present invention is to secure a wiping plate of an articulated wiping device in a form-fitting manner during the pressing out of a wiping element or textile held by the wiping plate in a pressing-out device against unwanted movement out of the pressing-out device.
- the wiper plate has on its upper side a projecting holding section in an edge region - preferably along one longitudinal edge or along both longitudinal edges - of the wiper plate, the holding section on the inside, i.e. on the side facing away from the outer edge of the wiper plate, having an undercut with a perpendicular to the Has top or main extension plane of the wiper plate extending extension component.
- This configuration enables a counter bearing device with a projecting securing section to engage behind the holding section or its undercut when the wiper plate is inserted into an extrusion device provided with the counter bearing device for pressing out the wiping element or textile.
- the wiper plate can then be pressed against a bearing surface of the pressing device by correspondingly pivoting a handle of the wiper device, the positive engagement of the holding section or the undercut by the securing section precluding undesired movement or slipping of the wiper plate out of the pressing device.
- Another idea of the present invention is to provide the wiper plate, and in particular the holding sections thereof, with an insertion bevel inclined in the direction of insertion, so that the wiper plate is provided with a wiper element. Wiping textile between the support surface and a spaced-apart counter-bearing surface with simple handling and with little force for the subsequent pressing out of the wiping element or textile on the support surface - possibly by clamping - can be inserted. In this way, unwanted movement out of the squeezing device is at least largely excluded with simple handling.
- Another aspect of the present invention is that the bearing surface is inclined to the horizontal and the counter bearing device is arranged above the bearing surface in a lower region of the bearing surface. This enables the wiper plate to be inserted easily into the squeezing device with a downward movement.

- the holding sections 8 are arranged adjacent and parallel to the longitudinal edges 12 of the wiper plate 4.
- two holding sections 8 are arranged along a longitudinal edge 12 of the wiper plate 4 and symmetrically to the joint 3 or to the transverse axis 13, as indicated in the top view according to FIG. 4.
- the top view according to FIG. 4 without wiping textile 5 can further be seen that the wiper plate 4 has reinforcing ribs 14 on its upper side 7, which in the illustrated example also run in the longitudinal direction, that is to say at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges 12 of the wiper plate 4.
- reinforcing ribs 14 and other reinforcing elements can also be omitted.

- the wiping textile 5 has two insertion pockets 22, which are formed in particular by sewing on or sewing on corresponding material sections and are open towards the center in the region of its transverse sides. End regions 23 of the wiper plate 4 can be inserted into these insertion pockets 22, the wiper textile 5 here having sufficient elasticity due to the rigid design of the wiper plate 4.
- the wiping textile 5 can also be firmly connected to the wiping plate 4 by means of other fastening means, such as Velcro fasteners.
- the wiping textile 5 has wiping sections 24, which are designed, for example, in the form of fringes, loops, shags or lamellae and are made, for example, from plastic, in particular polyester, from microfibers, from cotton or from a mixture of these materials.
- the wiping sections 24 are held by an adjoining carrier fabric 25, the area of which corresponds to the area of the wiping textile 5.
- a suction material 26 is preferably arranged in a pocket 27 formed by the wiping textile 5.
- the absorbent material 26 is highly absorbent, that is to say it can absorb a multiple of its own weight in liquid, in particular an aqueous liquid, such as a cleaning liquor or the like.
- the absorbent material 26 is preferably designed in several pieces, for example in the form of snippets, sections or the like. However, it can Absorbent material 26 also form a continuous layer or the like, that is to say it can be formed in one piece.
- the pocket 27 is closed on the side facing away from the carrier fabric 25 by a cover layer 28, which is sewn along its edge to the carrier fabric 25.
- the cover layer 28 is made of the same material as the carrier fabric 25.
- the carrier fabric 25 and the wiping sections 24 need no or no optimal suction properties. Rather, the materials used for this can optimally achieve the desired cleaning properties. Sliding properties, desired rigidity, flexibility and durability must be coordinated. It is important that the carrier fabric 25 is permeable to liquids. in particular - for example by capillary action or corresponding openings, meshes, or the like - ensures good fluid exchange with the absorbent material 26.
- the absorbent material 26 is optimized with regard to its absorbency. Materials with a high viscose content are particularly suitable here. In particular, the absorbent material 26 is selected such that it releases liquid which is relatively easily absorbed or absorbed under pressure.
- Fig. 5 shows a proposed squeezing device 29 in side view.
- the squeezing device 29 has a bearing surface 31 provided with openings 30, formed by a corresponding plate piece, molded part or the like, on which the wiping textile 5 can be squeezed out by pressing the mopping plate 4, which will be discussed in more detail later.
- the squeezing device 29 also has a counter bearing device 32, which is formed here by two counter bearing elements 33.
- 6a and 6b show a schematic sectional view along line VI-VI of FIG. 5, the proposed pressing device 29, in FIG. 6a when inserting the wiper plate 4 and in FIG. 6b when pressing the wiping textile 5.
- FIG. 6a illustrates the insertion movement 34 with which the wiper device 1 or its wiper plate 4 with a longitudinal edge 12 is inserted into the pressing device 29 between the support surface 31 and the counter bearing device 32 or its counter bearing elements 33.
- the holding sections 8 assigned or adjacent to the introduced longitudinal edge 12 are brought into engagement with the counter-bearing device 32 or its counter-bearing elements 33, or an engagement in this regard is made possible, so that securing sections 35 of the counter-bearing device 32 or the projecting or protruding toward the bearing surface 31 Counter bearing elements 33 can engage or can reach behind the inserted holding sections 8 or their undercuts 10.
- the extent to which the import movement 34 must include pivoting or tilting of the wiping plate 4 about its longitudinal axis 16 depends on the clear distance A between the securing sections 35 and the bearing surface 31 in relation to the overall height of the wiping plate 4 with the wiping textile 5 and the one projecting highest on the top side 7 Holding sections 8 from.
- a pivoting-in, as indicated in FIG. 6 a, is preferably necessary so that the wiper plate 4 is positively secured against being moved out of the pressing device 29 when the wiper plate 4 with the wiper textile 5 rests completely on the support surface 31, as in FIG. 6 b shown.
- each counter bearing element 33 is screwed onto the pressing device 29 or onto the bearing surface 31.
- the counter-bearing element 33 can, for example, also be integrally formed on the extrusion device 29.
- the counter bearing element 33 is designed like a hook and ends at its free end in the securing section 35, which preferably projects at least substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface 31.
- a continuous rail or the like can also be attached or designed as a counter bearing device 32 on the extrusion device 29.
- the extrusion device 29 shown in the state of use is designed such that the bearing surface 31 is inclined at an angle ⁇ relative to the horizontal 37.
- the angle of inclination is preferably between 30 ° and 60 °, in particular approximately 45 °.
- FIG. 6b illustrates the squeezing.
- the handle 2 When the wiper plate 4 is inserted, the handle 2 is folded or pivoted about the longitudinal axis 16 away from the counter bearing device 32 according to arrow 38.
- the handle 2 or part of the joint 3 comes to rest on the wiper plate 4 - here, for example, in the region of the V-shaped recess 18 - so that a further pressing on the handle 2 in the direction of arrow 38 depresses the wiper plate 4 with its underside 6 to the bearing surface 31, resulting in the wiping textile 5 being squeezed out becomes.
- the counter bearing device 32 and its securing sections 35 interact with the inserted holding sections 8 of the wiper plate 4, in particular in a hinge-like manner, the counter bearing device 32 practically forming the pivot point for a one-armed lever formed from the wiper plate 4 and the subsequent handle 2.
- This one-armed lever enables the wiping textile 5 to be easily pressed out on the articulated wiping device 1.
- the wiping plate 4 In order to enable the wiping textile 5 to be pressed out as uniformly as possible over the entire surface area, it is important that the wiping plate 4 also has the smallest possible distance from the bearing surface 31 when pressing out in the region of the counter-bearing device 32. In particular, it is desirable for the underside 6 of the wiper plate 4 to have an at least substantially uniform spacing in the final state of the pressing-out - in this case, therefore, an at least substantially parallel alignment to the flat bearing surface 31 - provided the wiping textile 5 has an at least substantially uniform thickness. here has a particularly uniform distribution of the absorbent material 26 in the pocket 27 -.
- the counter bearing device 32 acts accordingly with its securing sections 35, which are supported, for example, on the upper side 7 of the wiper plate 4, and / or with other areas of the counter bearing elements 33, for example acting on the upper side of the holding sections 8 the wiper plate 4 that the wiper plate 4 in the inserted longitudinal axis 15 in the inserted state has a desired, in particular relatively small distance from the bearing surface 31. Accordingly, the counter bearing device 32 and the wiper plate 4 can be coordinated with one another in such a way that during insertion the wiper plate 4 according to the insertion movement 34, a certain pressing and pressing of the wiper textile 5 already takes place in the area 39 of the bearing surface 31 opposite the counter-bearing device 32.
- the distance A between the securing sections 35 and the bearing surface 31 is chosen to be correspondingly small.
- pressure can also be exerted on the free end of the holding sections 8 by the counter bearing elements 33 when the wiper plate 4 is inserted. In the latter case, it is sufficient if the securing sections 35 only serve for a form-fitting securing of the wiper plate 4 in the pressing-out device 29.
- the distance between the counter-bearing device 32 and the bearing surface 31 in the opposite region 39 can be changed and reduced when pressed out, in order to hold down the wiping plate 4, in particular in the region of its introduced longitudinal edge 15 to reach on the bearing surface 31.
- the counter-bearing device 32 is designed to be correspondingly adjustable or, for example, is arranged separately from the bearing surface 31, the bearing surface 31 being, for example, tiltable or pivotable about an axis indicated in FIG. 5, so that the region 39 opposite the counter-bearing device 32 when pressed out Support surface 31 is moved against the counter bearing device 32.
- the tilt axis 40 is arranged approximately adjacent to the longitudinal axis 16 of the wiper plate 4 when the wiper plate 4 is inserted, in order to achieve a uniform pressure distribution between the underside 6 and the bearing surface 31 when pressed out by pressing the handle 2 down, as indicated in FIG. 6b.
- even pressing out of the wiping textile 5 can result in a relatively free or relatively high mobility or deformability of the absorbent material 26 in the pocket 27 of the wiping textile 5 can be beneficial, so that the absorbent material 26 is distributed in accordance with the pressure conditions and thereby a more uniform or more uniform pressing is achieved.
- FIG. 5 shows that the squeezing device 29 has fastening means 41 for in particular releasable, preferably form-fitting fastening to an assigned container 42, as indicated in the schematic sectional illustration according to FIG. 8.

- edge-side reinforcing ribs 14 can be at least essentially trapezoidal or bead-like in cross section.
- the counter bearing device 32 can be designed, for example, with a correspondingly reduced clearance A between the counter bearing surface 67 and the bearing surface 31, as in the second embodiment according to FIG. 11, or modified, for example, according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 12, namely with a projection forming the counter bearing surface 67 70 or the like.
- the insertion bevel 66 facilitates the insertion of the wiper plate 4 into the pressing-out device 29. Accordingly, the handling of the wiper device 1 is simplified.
- the counter-bearing surface 67 which runs at least substantially parallel to the bearing surface 31, prevents - in particular in cooperation with the wiping textile 5 which at least partially engages in the openings 30 of the bearing surface 31 - the wiping plate 4 from moving or slipping out of the pressing device 29 when the wiping textile 5 is pressed out.
