Bodenreinigungsgeräte mit verschwenkbar gelagerten Schwenkplatten, an denen zur Reinigung einer Fläche ein Bodenreinigungstuch anbringbar ist, sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Mit solchen Bodenreinigungsgeräten sind nicht nur Bodenflächen sondern auch Wandflächen, beispielsweise verflieste Wände, oder Deckenflächen reinigbar.Floor cleaning apparatus with pivotally mounted pivot plates, on which To clean a surface a floor cleaning cloth is attachable, are in different Embodiments known. With such floor cleaning equipment are not only floor surfaces but also wall surfaces, such as tiled Walls or ceiling surfaces cleanable.

Bei der Reinigung einer Fläche sind die Schwenkplatten der Bodenplatte in einer Stellung verriegelt, in der ihre Unterseiten zumindest annähernd in einer Ebene liegen. Nach Lösen der Verriegelungseinrichtung können die Bodenplatten nach unten (in die von der Stielhalterung abgewandte Richtung) aufeinander zu verschwenkt werden. Ein an einer Tuchhalterung befestigtes Reinigungstuch hängt in dieser aufeinander zu verschwenkten Stellung der Schwenkplatten lose nach unten und kann in dieser Position von Hand oder mittels einer hierfür vorgesehenen Einrichtung ausgewaschen und ausgewunden werden. Durch die verschwenkbare Lagerung der Schwenkplatten kann weiters auch ein solches Bodenreinigungstuch an der Bodenplatte angebracht werden, welches an seiner Oberseite beidseitig sackartige Laschen aufweist, in welche die seitlichen Enden der Schwenkplatten einführbar sind.When cleaning a surface, the pivot plates of the bottom plate are in one Position locked, in which their bottoms at least approximately in one plane lie. After releasing the locking device, the bottom plates after down (in the direction away from the handle holder direction) pivoted toward each other become. A cleaning cloth attached to a cloth holder hangs in this mutually pivoted position of the pivot plates loosely after below and can in this position by hand or by means of a designated Facility washed out and wound up. By the pivotable mounting of the pivot plates can also be such Floor cleaning cloth be attached to the bottom plate, which at his Upper side has sack-like tabs on both sides, in which the lateral ends the swivel plates are insertable.

Ein Bodenreinigungsgerät der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE 199 16 556 A1 bekannt. Als Verriegelungseinrichtung für die Schwenkplatten ist hier ein von einer Feder vorgespannter Sperriegel vorhanden, der beidseitig Rastnasen aufweist. Die auf der einen Seite liegende Rastnase hintergreift eine Schulter in einer der Schwenkplatten, die auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite liegende Rastnase hintergreift in der verriegelten Stellung der Schwenkplatten eine Schulter einer in der zweiten Schwenkplatte gelagerten federbelasteten Taste. A floor cleaning device of the type mentioned is for example from the DE 199 16 556 A1. As a locking device for the pivot plates here is a biased by a spring locking bolt available, the two-sided Has latching lugs. The latching lug on one side engages behind one Shoulder in one of the swivel plates, which lie on the opposite side Latch engages behind in the locked position of the pivot plates Shoulder of a spring-loaded button mounted in the second pivot plate.

Wird diese Taste entgegen der Kraft einer Feder verschwenkt, so kommt die Schulter der Taste außer Eingriff mit der Rastnase des Sperriegels, wodurch sich dieser aufgrund seiner Federvorspannung verschiebt und die andere Rastnase die Schulter an der anderen Schwenkplatte freigibt. Die Schwenkplatten können damit in der nach unten gedrückten Stellung der Taste gegeneinander verschwenkt werden. Zur Verschwenkung der Schwenkplatten ist es bei diesem vorbekannten Bodenreinigungsgerät somit erforderlich, gleichzeitig die Taste gegen die Kraft der Feder nach unten zu drücken und den Stiel des Bodenreinigungsgerätes nach oben zu ziehen, wodurch ein relativ umständlicher Bewegungsablauf erforderlich ist.If this key is pivoted against the force of a spring, comes Shoulder of the button disengaged from the locking lug of the locking bolt, resulting in this shifts due to its preload and the other detent the shoulder on the other pivot plate releases. The swivel plates can thus pivoted against each other in the pressed down position of the button become. For pivoting the pivot plates, it is in this known Floor cleaning device thus required, at the same time the button against to push down the force of the spring and the handle of the floor cleaning device to pull up, creating a relatively complicated movement is required.

Ähnliche Bodenreinigungsgeräte, die ebenfalls die eingangs genannten Merkmale aufweisen, sind auch aus der DE 40 11 713 A1 und DE 198 44 389 A1 bekannt. Die im Zusammenhang mit der DE 199 16 556 A1 genannten Nachteile treten auch hier auf. Zum Verriegeln der Schwenkplatten in ihrer parallelen Stellung muss dabei auch die Federkraft des federbelasteten Sperriegels überwunden werden.Similar floor cleaning appliances, which also have the features mentioned are also known from DE 40 11 713 A1 and DE 198 44 389 A1. The disadvantages mentioned in connection with DE 199 16 556 A1 occur here too. For locking the pivot plates in their parallel position must also overcome the spring force of the spring-loaded locking bolt become.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es ein verbessertes Bodenreinigungsgerät der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, bei welchem ein umständliche Bewegungsablauf zum Entriegeln und Verschwenken der Schwenkplatten vermieden wird und das robust ausgebildet sein kann und eine lange Lebensdauer aufweisen kann. Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies durch ein Bodenreinigungsgerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object of the invention is an improved floor cleaning device of the beginning to provide said type, in which a cumbersome movement to unlock and pivot the pivot plates is avoided and which can be made robust and have a long life can. According to the invention, this is achieved by a floor cleaning device with the Features of claim 1.
