Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a mop cover for a wiper.
  • the mop cover consists of a rectangular base material and has insert pockets for receiving a tensioning frame, the insert pockets being produced by attaching a separately produced cover material to the base material on the end face.
  • the previously known method for producing the mop cover is unsatisfactory in terms of production engineering and economy, since in addition to the rectangular base material, two parts of the cover material have to be produced, cut and then connected to the base material. Presentation of the invention
  • the invention has for its object to develop a method of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be carried out easily and inexpensively.
  • the mop cover should be manufactured in such a way that it enables efficient cleaning in corners.
  • a method for producing a mop cover for a wiper comprising a carrier and the mop cover, which at least partially surrounds the carrier, the carrier having triangular end faces pointing away from one another in the form of an arrow on two opposite sides, which during intended use of the wiper are arranged in congruently designed, triangular insert pockets of the mop cover, the imaginary extensions of the side lines of the end faces and the insert pockets being arranged essentially at right angles to one another and intersecting each other at an angle, the insert pockets being formed by the wiper cover itself and being integral and integral with the material are formed and each of the insertion pockets has only one seam for forming the insertion pockets, which extend perpendicularly from their respective front tip to their respective green d line extends, in a first process step a flat, substantially corresponding to the width and length of the carrier, flat sheet material is folded in the longitudinal direction along half its width, in a second process step the perpendicular to the fold line, one on top of the other lying half
  • the advantage here is that the manufacture of the mop cover is particularly simple and inexpensive.
  • sheeting is usually used, which is cut to the required width of the mop cover.
  • a decisive advantage of the claimed method can be seen in the fact that, despite the arrow-shaped, pointing away from one another, triangular end faces of the ready-to-use mop cover, a rectangular sheet-like structure is sufficient for its manufacture and that there is no waste during the manufacture of the mop cover. The material utilization is therefore particularly good.
  • insert pockets of the mop cover are closed in the form described above by only one single straight seam and that the insert pockets are automatically converted into the ready-to-use form by unfolding the fold after the second and further process step.
  • the end faces can be sewn, welded or glued together in the second process step. Sewing the end faces is simple and inexpensive, and the end faces are reliably connected to one another during the entire period of use of the mop cover. Welding offers itself as a particularly inexpensive method of manufacture, but requires a sufficiently high content of thermally softenable substance in the mop cover, for example in the form of thermoplastic fibers. Gluing is also an economical method of producing the seams, especially hot gluing.
  • the thermally softenable material required for this, for example polypropylene or polyethylene is supplied from a secondary source and activated by temporary thermal liquefaction and solidified by subsequent cooling. The technology is known per se from other fields.
  • the manufacture of the mop cover is particularly simple if the fabric is folded in the first method step in such a way that the mop surface of the mop cover is arranged on the outside. After connecting the half-width end faces, which are arranged at right angles to the fold line, only the fold has to be unfolded. The pockets are created automatically when the fold is unfolded. The seam is on the outside of the mop cover, i.e. visibly attached.
  • the fabric can be folded in the first method step in such a way that the mopping surface is arranged on the inside.
  • the wiping surface is then turned inside out in a next process step.
  • the fold is subsequently unfolded, the pockets are created automatically, with the seam concealed, i.e. is arranged inward and is facing towards the carrier.
  • the method claimed makes it possible to produce a hexagonal wiping cover which is rectangular in the area of its end faces and with which particularly efficient cleaning in corners is possible.
  • the invention also relates to a wiper.
  • a wiper is known for example from DE 198 23 044 C1.
  • the wiper comprises a rectangular carrier and a correspondingly designed mop cover, which consists of an essentially rectangular base material.
  • the insertion pockets are delimited by the base material on the side facing the wiping surface and by a cover material on the side facing away from the wiping surface, the base material and the cover material being connected to one another to form the insertion pockets. Due to the two-part design of the pockets, the wiper is not very satisfactory in terms of production technology and economy.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a wiper of the known type such that it is easier and cheaper to manufacture and that the shape of the wiping surface is more suitable for cleaning even hard-to-reach places.
  • a wiper comprising a carrier and a wiper cover which at least partially surrounds the carrier, the carrier having triangular end faces which point away from one another in an arrow shape on two opposite sides and which, during the intended use of the wiper, have congruently designed, triangular insert pockets of the mop cover are arranged, the imaginary extensions of the side lines of the end faces and the insertion pockets each being arranged essentially at right angles to one another and intersecting one another at an angle, the insertion pockets formed by the mop cover itself and are formed in one piece with the same material and each of the insert pockets has only one seam for forming the insert pockets, which extends perpendicularly from its respective front tip to its respective base line.
  • the insert pockets are formed by the mop cover itself and are made in one piece and with the same material. Because there is only one seam that closes each pocket and extends vertically from the respective front tip to the respective base line, the effort for producing the mop cover is minimized.
  • the edge of the mop cover can be at least partially covered by a border. This prevents fraying of the edge and especially if the mop cover is made of a high-pile material, this is clearly defined in size and shape by the border.
  • the assembly of the mop cover on the carrier is simplified for the user.
  • the seams can each be covered by a protective strip on the side facing away from the wearer. This protects the seam from external influences that reduce its useful life.
  • the uncovered seam which is visible from the outside, can be covered by the protective strip, so that a surface without projections results and a more aesthetic appearance is created.
  • the carrier can be designed as a wiper frame and comprise two tensioning wings which are locked during the intended use, at least one of the tensioning bars for mounting / dismounting the Mop cover is foldable.
  • one of the wings can be folded down at a right angle with respect to the other wings, so that both wings can be installed in the pockets / removed from the pockets.
  • the carrier can for example consist of a polymeric material.
  • the carrier is then rust-free and has only a comparatively low mass for better handling.
  • the carrier may be connected to a stem, the carrier and the stem being connected to each other, for example, by a gimbal. Especially in conjunction with the triangular end faces of the carrier and mop cover pointing away from each other in an arrow shape, even hard-to-reach areas can be easily cleaned.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show a schematic representation:
  • FIG. 2 c shows the wiping cover from FIG. 2 b with the wiping surface turned inside out
  • FIG. 4 shows the mop cover from FIG. 3a in a view from below
  • Fig. 5 shows the wiper with the mop cover mounted on the carrier.
  • the carrier 3 of the wiper 2 is shown in a plan view.
  • the carrier 3 is designed as a wiper frame 34 and comprises two clamping wings 35, 36 which, as also shown in FIG. 5, can be locked in the position shown here.
  • the locking of the wings 35, 36 can be actuated by the closure 37.
  • the closure 37 is actuated and one of the two tensioning wings 35, 36 folds, relative to the other tensioning wings 36, 35, about the axis 38, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction 21, essentially at a right angle downward.
  • the carrier 3 has on its two opposite sides 4, 5 arrow-shaped, triangular end faces 6, 7, which during the intended use of the wiper 2, as shown in FIG. 5, in the congruently designed triangular insertion pockets 8, 9 of the wiper 1 are arranged.
  • the carrier 3 consists of a polymeric material and comprises a gimbal-like movable sleeve for receiving a stem 40, not shown here.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the flat structure 20 following the cutting of the material web 41.
  • the length 42 and width 22 of the fabric 20 essentially corresponds to the length 44 and width 43 of the carrier 3.
  • the fold line 23 is shown in dashed lines, it extends in the longitudinal direction 21 along half the width 22.
  • FIG. 2 b shows the fabric 20 subsequent to the first and second method step, which is perpendicular to the fold line 23 arranged, superimposed end face 24, 25; 26, 27 half width are sewn together.
  • the fabric 20 is folded in the first method step in such a way that the wiping surface 29 is arranged on the inside.
  • FIGS. 2 a and 2 b shows the folded and sewn flat structure from FIGS. 2 a and 2 b, which was turned after the second method step, so that the wiping surface 29 initially arranged on the inside is now arranged on the outside; the seam that connects the superimposed end faces from FIG. 2 b to one another is covered by the fact that it is arranged on the inside.
  • the subsequent method step is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the fold 28 is unfolded to produce a flat wiping surface 29, the insertion pockets 8, 9 forming automatically when the fold 28 is unfolded.
  • Each of the insertion pockets 8, 9 has only one seam 14, 15 for forming the insertion pocket 8, 9, the seams 14, 15 extending perpendicularly from their respective front tips 16, 17 to their respective base lines 18, 19.
  • the edge 30 of the mop cover 1 is covered by the border 31 along its long sides.
  • the seams 14, 15 are each covered by a protective strip 32, 33 on the side facing away from the carrier 3, as shown in FIG. 3b.
  • the wiping surface 29 has a profile in the form of strips extending in the longitudinal direction 21, which are formed by a higher, particularly absorbent pile.
  • the carrier 3 is connected to a stem 40 and in the triangular pockets 8,
  • the end faces 6, 7 and the insertion pockets 8, 9 are congruent designed, the imaginary extensions of the side lines 10, 11; 12, 13 of the end faces 6, 7 and the insertion pockets 8, 9 intersect at an angle and are each arranged essentially at right angles to one another.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour produire une garniture (1) pour un balai (2) comprenant un support (3) et une garniture de balai (1) enveloppant au moins partiellement le support (3). Le support (3) présente sur deux côtés opposés (4, 5) des faces triangulaires (6, 7) qui pointent en sens opposé sous forme de flèches. Ces faces se trouvent, lorsque le balai (2) est utilisé de manière conforme, dans des poches d'insertion triangulaires (8, 9), de conception congruente, de la garniture de balai. Les extensions prévues des lignes latérales (10, 11; 12, 13) des faces (6, 7) et des poches d'insertion (8, 9) sont respectivement placées de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire les unes aux autres et se croisent en formant un angle. Les poches d'insertion (8, 9) sont formées par la garniture de balai (1) et forment une seule pièce d'un seul matériau avec celle-ci. Afin de former les poches d'insertion (8, 9), chacune d'entre elles (8, 9) ne présente qu'une couture (14, 15) qui s'étend de leur pointe côté face respective (16, 17) perpendiculairement à leur ligne de base respective (18, 19). Dans une première étape du procédé, une structure plane (20) rectangulaire, qui correspond sensiblement à la largeur et à la longueur du support (3), est pliée en direction longitudinale (21) le long de sa demi-largeur (22). Dans une deuxième étape du procédé, les faces (24, 25; 26 27) de demi-largeur se trouvant les unes sur les autres perpendiculairement à la ligne de pliage (23) sont reliées les unes aux autres sur les faces. Dans une étape ultérieure du procédé, le pliage (28) est ouvert afin d'obtenir une surface de balai plane (29), les poches d'insertion (8, 9) se formant automatiquement lors de l'ouverture du pliage (28).
