Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a planar surface cleaning apparatus according to claim 1, in particular for household use and having a cleaning plate connected to at least one handle, a pumping device for pumping a cleaning liquid from a tank, a pumping actuator disposed on the handle, and one above Cleaning plate arranged housing
  • a cleaning plate connected to at least one handle
  • a pumping device for pumping a cleaning liquid from a tank
  • a pumping actuator disposed on the handle
  • cleaning plate arranged housing Such devices are very much used for cleaning windows or other smooth surfaces in the kitchen and in the bathroom area. Another application is the cleaning of vehicle windows. Also for the cleaning of floors find these devices use.
  • a cleaning device of this Arti is from the DE 1 934 380 A known.
  • This cleaning device has a mop plate and a stem arranged thereon, wherein a tank for conveying liquid through the stem is arranged in the upper region of the stem, which can then be sprayed in front of the mop plate via a nozzle arranged above the mop plate.
  • the disadvantage of this cleaning device is that it is usable only with the handle, so it is not suitable as a hand wiper, since the user must operate the sprayer at the end of the stem.
  • a similar device is from the US Pat. No. 6,497,525 B1 in which, although the tank is arranged at the bottom of the mop plate, but also has a handle with an actuator for the spray function at the end of the stalk. The same applies to the from the DE 202 19 300 U1 known cleaning device.
  • a cleaning device that has no handle, instead, the actuator for the spray function is provided in the vicinity of the mop plate.
  • this device is not usable in connection with a handle, since the user then can no longer reach the actuating device WO 01/72195 A1
  • cleaning devices for floor surfaces are known in which a handle is mounted on a tank, which can deliver cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned via a pumping device. At the stem a cleaning plate is connected to the stem at the bottom so that the user in a standing position can perform large-scale wiping movements.
  • this cleaning device has the disadvantage that a targeted guidance for cleaning smaller areas due to the large tank and the long handle is poorly possible and also the delivery of the cleaning fluid can only be controlled inaccurately.
  • German utility model DE 85 29 619 U is a hand-held device for cleaning surfaces, in particular of discs known in which a cleaning liquid receiving container is integrated in the handle part and this cleaning liquid is sprayable on a pump-spray system on the surface to be cleaned.
  • a cleaning part with a sponge-like cleaning element is arranged on the handle.
  • this device is only suitable for cleaning surfaces that are in the arm-grip area and there is no cleaning plate, which is suitable for wiping larger areas.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cleaning device for flat surfaces, with which, as in the known cleaning devices specifically a cleaning surface can be supplied with cleaning fluid and with the now both applications can be covered, namely in the immediate arm-grip area as well as at more remote floor surfaces.
  • a spray head On the housing of the efindungeadoren cleaning device, as in the known cleaning devices, a spray head is provided which selectively delivers cleaning fluid to a surface to be cleaned adjacent to the cleaning plate via a pumping operation. The user can thus deliberately give off dirt on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the spray head is held for a simple construction of the cleaning device in a receptacle between two housing halves.
  • the pumping device has a pressure chamber and for spraying the cleaning fluid via the pumping action, a pressure in the pressure chamber can be generated.
  • the tank is held between the cleaning plate and the housing arranged above it and thus arranged largely concealed and protected. Furthermore, a balanced handling is achieved in that the tank is arranged with attached pumping device immediately behind the cleaning plate, so can take place on the surface to be cleaned a support.
  • a first handle is formed on the housing and this handle is provided with a receptacle for a second handle disposed on an extension, both handles each having a force acting on the pumping device Pump operation are equipped.
  • the user can thus choose freely in which version he wants to use the cleaning device, for example, as a manoeuvrable device for low windows, mirrors, shower cabins or extension handle for tall windows, flat surfaces in the bathroom and floors.
  • protruding cloth clips for fastening a wipe are formed on the housing on opposite sides.
  • corresponding wipes can be interchangeably clamped for the respective use, which can then also be washed and replaced.
  • the pumping operation of the first handle via a piston lever and the pumping operation of the second handle via a piston rod to the pumping device is connected.
  • the piston rod may be guided in a tube and an adapter may be provided for connection to the pumping device.
  • the pumping device is arranged with its piston side to the end of the handle, so that a double admission both via the handle lever of the first handle, so when used as a compact handset, as well as an operation via a piston rod to a spray lever in a second handle at the end of Stem extension is possible.
  • a rubber lip for the removal of liquid is fixed to the cleaning plate, so that the cleaning device can also be used particularly well for window cleaning.
  • the cleaning device 1 comprises a hand wiper 2 with a first handle 3, which receives in a receptacle 4 an extension 5 with a second handle 6.
  • the handle 3 is connected to a cleaning plate 7 and comprises a multi-part housing 18, 20 in which a pumping device 8, a tank 9 and a spray head 10 are accommodated.
  • the pumping device 8 is triggered via a pump actuation in the form of a handle lever 11 via a piston lever 12.
  • the cleaning device is used as a hand wiper.
  • an extension 5 in the form of a tube For processing or cleaning of higher surfaces or floors of the handle 3 takes in its receptacle 4 an extension 5 in the form of a tube. This extension 5 ends in the handle 6. At this pumping a spray lever 13 is mounted, which acts on a piston rod 14 which acts via an adapter 15 to the pumping device 8. The piston rod 14 is guided over foam parts 16 in the extension 5. These foam parts 16 also act stiffening, so that the piston rod 14 can be made quite thin.
  • FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a cleaning device as a floor and window wiper for higher windows
  • Fig. 2 the cleaning device as a hand wiper.
  • the handle 3 is divided starting from a closed receiving sleeve 17 in the longitudinal direction and integrally connected to housing halves 18 and 20.
  • the receiving sleeve 17 and one half of the cover plate 19 and on the other half of the cover half 21 is integrally formed on the housing half.
  • the tank 9 is arranged between the cover plate 19 and a bottom plate 21, together forming the cleaning plate 7, the tank 9 is arranged.
  • the tank 9 penetrates with a neck 24, the cover plate 19 and is closed by a fuel cap 25.
  • the spray nozzle is held in a receptacle 31 which is fixed between the housing halves 18 and 20.
  • a clamped between the cover plate 19 and the bottom plate 22 rubber lip 26 serves for drawing off liquid on flat surfaces.
  • the rubber lip 26 protrudes forward and can be brought by appropriate pivoting of the cleaning device in contact with a surface.
  • the cover plate halves 20 and 21 are provided with integrally formed opposite the bottom plate 21 protruding cloth clamps 27, which serve for fixing various wipes.
  • the tank 9 is connected via a hose piece 28 to the pumping device 8 and via a valve 29 to the spray head 10.
