Said aim is achieved by the fact that the ends of the resilient clamping elements (10, 11) that have the shape of a partial ring extend into outward-directed spring shackles (10a, 11a), the ends (10b, 11b) of which can be connected to the first object (1).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines ersten Gegenstandes an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand mit einem mit dem ersten Gegenstand verbindbaren Halterungselement, welches zur Befestigung am stielförmigen Gegenstand wenigstens zwei axial beabstandete teilringförmige Klemmfederelemente mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern aufweist.The invention relates to a device for attaching a first article to a second handle-shaped article with a connectable to the first article support member having at least two axially spaced part-annular clamping spring elements with different diameters for attachment to the stalk-shaped object.

Eine solche clipsförmige Befestigungsvorrichtung ist aus DE 100 26 522 A1 bekannt. In dieser Druckschrift ist eine Vorrichtung zur dosierten Abgabe von Reinigungsmittel an eine Reinigungsbürste, insbesondere zur Toilettenreinigung, mit einem Produktbehältnis für das Reinigungsmittel beschrieben, wobei das Produktbehältnis mittels einer gattungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung lösbar am Bürstenstiel der Reinigungsbürste anklemmbar ist. Dazu weist die Befestigungsvorrichtung ein mit dem Produktbehältnis verbindbares Halterungselement auf, das als Klemmelement ausgebildet ist und zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Bürstenstieldurchmesser mehrere axial voneinander beabstandete teilringförmige Klemmfederelemente mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern aufweist. Durch diese Mehrzahl von Klemmfederelementen ist ein Anklemmen an Bürstenstiele mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern möglich. Hat sich diese Befestigungsvorrichtung zwar bereits bewährt, so ist sie doch noch verbesserungswürdig.Such a clip-shaped fastening device is known from DE 100 26 522 A1. In this document, a device for the metered delivery of detergent to a cleaning brush, in particular for toilet cleaning, described with a product container for the detergent, wherein the product container by means of a generic fastening device is releasably clamped to the brush handle of the cleaning brush. For this purpose, the fastening device has a connectable to the product container holding member, which is designed as a clamping element and has to adapt to different Bürstenstielddurchmesser a plurality of axially spaced apart part-annular clamping spring elements with different diameters. By this plurality of clamping spring elements clamping on brush handles with different diameters is possible. Although this fastening device has already proven itself, it is still in need of improvement.

Aus DE 39 05 760 A1 ist ebenfalls eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Teiles eines Bodenreinigungsgerätes an einem Schrubberstiel bekannt, diese Befestigungsvorrichtung weist jedoch Feststellschrauben auf und ist relativ umständlich zu handhaben.From DE 39 05 760 A1 a fastening device for fixing a part of a floor cleaning device to a scrubbing handle is also known, but this fastening device has locking screws and is relatively cumbersome to handle.

Grundsätzlich gibt es eine Vielzahl von Einsatzzwecken, bei welchen es wünschenswert ist, einen ersten Gegenstand mit Hilfe einer Befestigungsvorrichtung an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand klemmend zu befestigen, die beiden vorgenannten Einsatzfälle stellen nur Beispiele dar.Basically, there are a variety of uses in which it is desirable to have a first article by means of a fastening device to be clamped to attach a second stalk-shaped object, the two aforementioned applications are only examples.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung so zu verbessern, dass einerseits eine rutschsichere belastbare Fixierung erreicht wird, andererseits aber auch ein Wiederlösen ohne Hilfsmittel möglich ist, wobei die Vorrichtung zur Befestigung an stielförmigen Gegenständen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern geeignet sein soll.The object of the invention is to improve a generic device so that on the one hand a non-slip resilient fixation is achieved, on the other hand, but also a replacement without tools is possible, the device should be suitable for attachment to stalk-shaped objects with different diameters.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Enden der teilringförmigen Klemmfederelemente jeweils in nach außen gerichtete Federlaschen verlängert sind, welche endseitig mit dem ersten Gegenstand verbindbar sind.This object is achieved with a device of the type described in the present invention, characterized in that the ends of the part-annular clamping spring elements are each extended in outwardly directed spring tabs, which are connectable end to the first article.

Anders als bei der gattungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung ist somit das Halterungselement mit den Klemmfederelementen nicht in erster Linie rückseitig auf der dem Einführschlitz abgewandten Seite mit dem ersten Gegenstand zu verbinden, sondern über die Enden der nach außen gerichteten Federlaschen, wodurch das Aufspreizen der Klemmfederelemente sicher begrenzt wird und bei etwaiger unsachgemäßer Handhabung auch ein Abbrechen der Federlaschen verhindert wird, da diese nicht frei enden, sondern mit dem ersten Gegenstand verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise wird eine wesentlich bessere Klemmverbindung erreicht, so dass eine belastbare Fixierung gewährleistet ist. Aufgrund der Flexibilität der Klemmfederelemente ist es aber möglich, die Befestigungsvorrichtung auch ohne Hilfsmittel wieder zu lösen, d.h. den ersten Gegenstand vom zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand wieder zu trennen, in dem die Laschen manuell auseinandergedrückt werden. Dabei ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung für stielförmige Gegenstände mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern geeignet, da mehrere unterschiedlich große Klemmfederelemente vorgesehen sind. Diese Variabilität der Einsatzmöglichkeit bezieht sich dabei sowohl auf unterschiedliche stielförmige Gegenstände als auch ein und denselben stielförmigen Gegenstand, wenn dieser konisch ausgebildet ist.Unlike the generic fastening device thus the support member with the clamping spring elements is not primarily back on the side facing away from the insertion slot with the first object to connect, but over the ends of the outwardly directed spring tabs, whereby the spreading of the clamping spring elements is securely limited and In case of improper handling also a cancel of the spring tabs is prevented because they do not end freely, but are connected to the first item. In this way, a much better clamping connection is achieved, so that a reliable fixation is ensured. Due to the flexibility of the clamping spring elements, it is possible to loosen the fastening device without aids again, ie to separate the first object from the second stalk-shaped object again, in which the tabs are pushed apart manually. In this case, the attachment device for stalk-shaped objects with different diameters is suitable because a plurality of different sized clamping spring elements are provided. This variability of the possible use relates both to different stem-shaped objects and one and the same stem-shaped object when it is conical.

In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass das Klemmfederelement mit größerem Durchmesser annähernd geschlossen ringförmig ausgebildet ist. Dieses Klemmfederelement dient dann unabhängig vom Durchmesser des stielförmigen Gegenstandes als Schutz gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des ersten Gegenstandes vom zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand, selbst bei mechanischer Beanspruchung. Da dieses Klemmfederelement annähernd geschlossen ringförmig ausgebildet ist, steht nämlich in Ruhelage nur ein sehr schmaler Schlitz zur Verfügung, der sich nach dem Anklemmen fast vollständig wieder schließt. Zum gewollten Lösen der Befestigungsvorrichtung sind dann manuell die nach außen gerichteten Federlaschen auseinanderzubiegen, um den Schlitz entsprechend zu verbreitern.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the clamping spring element with a larger diameter is formed approximately closed annular. This clamping spring element then serves regardless of the diameter of the stem-shaped object as protection against unintentional release of the first object from the second stem-shaped object, even under mechanical stress. Since this clamping spring element is formed approximately closed annular, namely only a very narrow slot is available in rest position, which closes almost completely after clamping again. For intentionally loosening the fastening device, then the outwardly directed spring tabs are then manually unfolded to widen the slot accordingly.

Eine weitere ganz besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass wenigstens das Klemmfederelement mit kleinerem Durchmesser innenseitig mit einer rutschfesten Beschichtung versehen ist. Durch diese rutschfeste Beschichtung, z.B. aus TPE, ist sicher gewährleistet, dass der erste Gegenstand nicht entlang des stielförmigen Gegenstandes verrutschen kann, er ist in einer bestimmten Position sicher fixiert. Wenn, was bevorzugt ist, die Vorrichtung aus Kunststoff im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt wird, kann bevorzugt die rutschfeste Beschichtung aus einem weicheren Material im Zweistufenspritzverfahren unlösbar mit dem übrigen Material während des Herstellungsprozesses verbunden werden.Another particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that at least the clamping spring element with a smaller diameter is provided on the inside with a non-slip coating. By this non-slip coating, e.g. made of TPE, it is certainly ensured that the first object can not slip along the stalk-shaped object, it is securely fixed in a certain position. If, as is preferred, the device is made of plastic by injection molding, preferably the non-slip coating of a softer material in the two-stage injection method can be inextricably linked to the remaining material during the manufacturing process.

Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die rutschfeste Beschichtung sich bereichsweise axial außerhalb des Klemmfederelementes erstreckt. Dadurch wird eine axiale Verschiebung in Richtung des Überstandes erschwert, da die weiche Beschichtung beim Verschieben nach Innen zwischen das Klemmfederelement und den stielförmigen Gegenstand einzurollen versucht, wodurch der Widerstand vergrößert wird.It is particularly preferred for the non-slip coating to extend in regions axially outside the clamping spring element. Characterized an axial displacement in the direction of the supernatant is difficult because the soft coating tries to roll when moving inwardly between the clamping spring element and the stem-shaped object, whereby the resistance is increased.

In ganz besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung mit einem Produktbehältnis zur Aufnahme einer wasserlöslichen Wirksubstanz verbunden ist und an eine Reinigungsbürste anklemmbar ist. Dabei ist die Vorrichtung bevorzugt einteilig mit dem Produktbehältnis ausgebildet. Die Vorrichtung ist also ganz bevorzugt dazu geeignet, ein solches Produktbehältnis an einer Reinigungsbürste zu befestigen. Sie ist selbstverständlich auch für alle möglichen anderen Einsatzzwecke geeignet, bei denen ein erster Gegenstand an einem stielförmigen zweiten Gegenstand zu befestigen ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the device with a product container for receiving a water-soluble active substance is connected and can be clamped to a cleaning brush. The device is preferably formed integrally with the product container. The device is thus very preferably suitable for attaching such a product container to a cleaning brush. It is of course also suitable for all sorts of other purposes in which a first object is to be attached to a stalk-shaped second object.

Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen dient eine erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung eines ersten Gegenstandes, der als Produktbehältnis 1 zur Aufnahme einer Wirksubstanz zur Toilettenreinigung ausgebildet ist, an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand, nämlich am Bürstenstiel 2 einer Reinigungsbürste zur Toilettenreinigung.In the illustrated embodiments, a fastening device according to the invention for fastening a first article, which is designed as a product container 1 for receiving an active substance for toilet cleaning, on a second stem-shaped object, namely on the brush handle 2 of a cleaning brush for toilet cleaning.

Allgemein ist die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung grundsätzlich geeignet, einen ersten Gegenstand, mit dem die Vorrichtung zu verbinden ist oder einteilig mit dieser ausgebildet ist, an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand klemmend bzw. clipsförmig zu befestigen.In general, the fastening device according to the invention is fundamentally suitable for fastening a first object, with which the device is to be connected or is formed integrally therewith, to a second, stick-shaped object in a clamping or clip-shaped manner.

Bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen ist die in den Figuren 3 und 4 allgemein mit 3 bezeichnete Befestigungsvorrichtung einteilig mit dem Produktbehältnis 1 ausgebildet, d.h. beispielsweise gemeinsam aus Kunststoff im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt.In the embodiments shown, the fastening device indicated generally at 3 in Figures 3 and 4 is formed integrally with the product container 1, i. For example, jointly made of plastic by injection molding.

Das Produktbehältnis 1 ist in Gebrauchslage geschlossen, innerhalb des geschlossenen Produktbehältnisses 1 ist eine Aufnahmekammer gebildet, in welcher beispielsweise eine nicht dargestellte Wirksubstanz aufgenommen ist. Das Produktbehältnis 1 weist ober- und unterseitig Öffnungen auf, die unterschiedlich gestaltet sein können und die bei diesem Produktbehältnis zum Eintreten von Wasser und zum Austreten (und ggf. Eintreten) desselben mit gelöster Wirksubstanz dienen.The product container 1 is closed in the position of use, within the closed product container 1, a receiving chamber is formed, in which, for example, an active substance, not shown, is received. The product container 1 has top and bottom openings, which can be designed differently and serve in this product container for the ingress of water and the emergence (and possibly entering) thereof with dissolved active substance.

Das Produktbehältnis 1 besteht aus einem Oberteil 4 und einem Unterteil 5, die jeweils etwa halbschalenförmig ausgebildet sind und einteilig miteinander verbunden sind. Dazu sind sie über Filmscharniere 6 aneinander angelenkt und weisen korrespondierende Rastelemente 7, 8 auf.The product container 1 consists of an upper part 4 and a lower part 5, which are each formed approximately half-shell-shaped and are integrally connected to each other. For this purpose, they are hinged to each other via film hinges 6 and have corresponding locking elements 7, 8.

Nach der Eingabe einer Wirksubstanz werden das Oberteil 4 und das Unterteil 5 zusammengeschwenkt und miteinander mit Hilfe der Rastelemente 7, 8 arretiert, so dass ein in Gebrauchslage geschlossenes Produktbehältnis 1 zur Verfügung steht, so wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist.After the input of an active substance, the upper part 4 and the lower part 5 are pivoted together and locked together by means of the locking elements 7, 8, so that a closed in the use position product container 1 is available, as shown in Figure 2.

Das Produktbehältnis 1 weist eine seitliche schlitzförmige Aussparung 9 auf, derart, dass das Produktbehältnis 1 von oben gesehen C- bzw. U-förmig ist. Diese Aussparung 9 dient zur Aufnahme einer erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung 3, welche in die Aussparung 9 fest eingesetzt sein kann oder, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel, einteilig mit dem Produktbehältnis 1 ausgebildet ist.The product container 1 has a lateral slot-shaped recess 9, such that the product container 1 seen from above is C- or U-shaped. This recess 9 serves to receive a fastening device 3 according to the invention, which may be firmly inserted into the recess 9 or, as in the embodiment, is integrally formed with the product container 1.

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 weist beim Ausführungsbeispiel ein Halterungselement mit zwei axial voneinander beabstandeten teilringförmigen Klemmfederelementen 10 und 11 auf, welche zur Aussparung 9 hin geschlitzt und aufspreizbar ausgebildet sind. Dabei ist wesentlich, dass die Enden der teilringförmigen Klemmfederelemente 10, 11 jeweils in nach außen gerichtete Federlaschen 10a, 11a verlängert sind, welche endseitig mit dem Produktbehältnis 1 verbunden sind, diese Verbindungspunkte sind mit 10b bzw. 11 b bezeichnet.The fastening device 3, in the embodiment, a support member with two axially spaced apart part-annular clamping spring elements 10 and 11, which are slotted to the recess 9 and formed spreadable. It is essential that the ends of the part-annular clamping spring elements 10, 11 are each extended in outwardly directed spring tabs 10 a, 11 a, which are connected end to the product container 1, these connection points are designated 10 b and 11 b.

Erkennbar ist der Durchmesser des in Gebrauchslage unteren teilringförmigen Klemmfederelementes 11 größer als derjenige des anderen Klemmfederelementes 10. Das Klemmfederelement 11 mit größerem Durchmesser ist annähernd geschlossen ringförmig ausgebildet, d.h. in Ruhelage ist der Schlitzbereich 12 wesentlich kleiner als der entsprechende Schlitzbereich des anderen Klemmfederelementes 10.It can be seen that the diameter of the lower part-annular clamping spring element 11 in the position of use is greater than that of the other clamping spring element 10. The larger diameter clamping spring element 11 is formed in an approximately closed ring shape, ie. in the rest position, the slot area 12 is substantially smaller than the corresponding slot area of the other clamping spring element 10.

Das Klemmfederelement 10 mit kleinerem Durchmesser ist innenseitig mit einer rutschfesten Beschichtung 13, beispielsweise aus TPE, versehen, die sich vorzugsweise bereichsweise axial außerhalb des Klemmfederelementes 10 erstreckt, dieser Bereich ist mit 13a bezeichnet.The clamping spring element 10 with a smaller diameter is provided on the inside with a non-slip coating 13, for example of TPE, which preferably extends partially axially outside of the clamping spring element 10, this area is denoted by 13a.

Diese Beschichtung 13 aus weicherem Material wird bevorzugt im Zweistufenspritzverfahren unlösbar mit dem übrigen Material während des Herstellungsprozesses verbunden.This coating 13 of softer material is preferably inseparably connected in two-step injection with the rest of the material during the manufacturing process.

Das mit der Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 ausgerüstete Produktbehältnis 1 gemäß Figur 2 kann auf einfache Weise an den Bürstenstiel 2 einer Reinigungsbürste angeklemmt werden. Dabei ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 zur sicheren Befestigung an unterschiedlichen Stieldurchmessern geeignet, beispielsweise ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel das kleinere Klemmfederelement 10 bevorzugt für Stieldurchmesser zwischen 8 und 14 mm ausgelegt, während bei Stieldurchmessern von 12 bis ca. 20 mm das größere Klemmfederelement 11 zum Tragen kommt. Bei größeren Stieldurchmessern ist dann das kleinere Klemmfederelement 10 entsprechend weit aufgespreizt und bildet im Wesentlichen keinen geschlossenen Ring mehr.Equipped with the fastening device 3 product container 1 according to Figure 2 can be clamped in a simple manner to the brush handle 2 a cleaning brush. In this case, the fastening device 3 is suitable for secure attachment to different stem diameters, for example, in the embodiment, the smaller clamping spring element 10 is preferably designed for stem diameter between 8 and 14 mm, while at stem diameters of 12 to about 20 mm, the larger clamping spring element 11 comes into play. For larger stem diameters then the smaller clamping spring element 10 is spread correspondingly wide and forms substantially no more closed ring.

Unabhängig davon dient das größere Klemmfederelement 11 aufgrund seiner annähernd geschlossenen Ringform (enger Schlitzbereich 12) als Schutz gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Produktbehältnisses 1 vom Bürstenstiel 2, selbst bei mechanischer Beanspruchung. Ein Lösen ist nämlich nur dann möglich, wenn vom Nutzer manuell die Federlaschen 11a nach außen gedrückt werden.Regardless of the larger clamping spring element 11 serves as a protection against inadvertent release of the product container 1 from the brush handle 2 due to its nearly closed ring shape (narrow slot portion 12), even under mechanical stress. A release is only possible if the user manually pressed the spring tabs 11a to the outside.

Aus den Figuren 3 und 4 geht die besondere Funktionsweise der inneren Beschichtung 13 des kleineren Klemmfederelementes 10 hervor, wobei der axial vorstehende Bereich 13a beispielsweise um ca. 2 bis 5 mm über das eigentliche Klemmfederelement 10 nach oben hinausragt. Wird nun versucht, die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 im Sinne des Pfeiles der Figur 3 nach oben zu verschieben, so wirkt die Beschichtung 13 bzw. der vorstehende Bereich 13a derselben dem entgegen, da die weiche Beschichtung beim Nachobenverschieben nach innen zwischen das Klemmfederelement 10 und den Reinigungsstiel 2 einzurollen versucht, wie dies Figur 4 zeigt.From Figures 3 and 4, the special operation of the inner coating 13 of the smaller clamping spring element 10 is apparent, wherein the axially projecting portion 13a projects, for example, by about 2 to 5 mm above the actual clamping spring element 10 upwards. If the fastening device 3 is now attempted to be displaced upward in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3, then the coating 13 or the protruding region 13a counteracts the same, since the soft coating is pushed inwards between the clamping spring element 10 and the cleaning handle 2 tries to roll, as Figure 4 shows.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen noch einmal in anderen Darstellungen die Befestigungsvorrichtung in Befestigungslage.Figures 5 and 6 show once again in other representations, the fastening device in mounting position.

Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind möglich, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So eignet sich die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 generell für verschiedene Anwendungszwecke, bei denen es darum geht, einen ersten Gegenstand an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand zu befestigen.Of course, the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Further embodiments are possible without departing from the basic idea. Thus, the fastening device 3 is generally suitable for various applications in which it comes to attach a first object to a second stalk-shaped object.
