Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wiper device including a support and a cover.
  • a support for such a wiper device is defined in the introductory part of claim 1
  • a wiper cover for use in combination with such a support is defined in the introductory part of claim 17
  • the wiper device in total is defined in the introductory part of claim 22.
  • a prior art wiper device known from US-A- 5 864 914 has a handle in a handle socket and a support, attached thereto in an articulated way.
  • a wiper cover is specifically assigned to the support and prepared to be attached to the support for wiping surfaces to be cleaned.
  • the support has the shape of a plate with two parallel flat sides, which face away from one another, being covered by the wiper cover and forming alternately usable wiper surfaces.
  • the support and the wiper cover are provided with a recess at the edge for central linkage of the support. In this way, the handle may be pivoted through the recess from one flat side to the other flat side of the support.
  • a wiper device known from JP-A-10-043113 comprises a support which has two flat sides which in the usage state run at an acute, namely right angle to one another for supporting the wiper cover.
  • the support has an open region between the flat sides where the handle socket for attachment of the handle is located.
  • the object is to further improve the parts of the prior art wiper device.
  • the present invention is realized in a support with a handle or handle socket as such without a wiper cover.
  • the flat sides of the support are formed on wings that are hinge-connected to each other along the lengthwise extension of the wiper surfaces.
  • Detachable connecting means are fixedly connecting the wings in the usage state of the wiper device but are detachable for easy dismounting or mounting of the wiper cover.
  • the general idea is similar to that of the prior art known from document US-A-5,864,914 having a acute to obtuse angle between the wiper surfaces or flat sides of the support.
  • a cavity in the support for receiving and/or transporting cleaning liquid is preferably formed by the rear opening of the support.
  • a further aspect of the present invention is to provide the wiper cover with a rib-like textile ridge, which protrudes from at least one wiper surface in the usage state. This textile ridge allows especially effective cleaning of corners, edges, or the like.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a wiper device 1 having a handle 2 and a support 3, attached thereto in an articulated way, to which a wiper cover 4 is assigned.
  • the support 3 is open on one side between the wiper surfaces 5 for attachment of the handle 2.
  • the wiper surfaces 5 - at least in the usage state - run at an acute to obtuse angle a to one another, so that direct linkage of the handle 2 to the support 3 is possible (Fig. 2).
  • the wiper surfaces 5 are preferably essentially rectangular and have longitudinal edges 6 which are parallel to one another. In the embodiment both wiper surfaces 5 have one common front longitudinal edge 6.
  • the wiper surfaces 5 preferably run essentially U-shaped, V-shaped, or Y-shaped to one another as seen in a cross-sectional or end-view.
  • the embodiment of Fig. 2 shows a V-shaped device.
  • the angle ⁇ between the wiper surfaces 5 is essentially 60° to 70°. Preferably it is at least 40°, further preferably at least 50° and at most 90°, preferably at most 80°.
  • the wiper surfaces 5 may be spaced in such a way that a corresponding linkage of the handle 2 to the support 3 is made possible.
  • the support 3 is open on one side between the wiper surfaces 5. It is possible to use each of the two wiper surfaces 5 alternately by appropriate reversal and/or rotation of the support 3, the handle 2 correspondingly being pivotable. No recess or opening of the preferably essentially rectangular wiper surfaces 5 and the flat sides 7 of the support 3 underneath them, indicated in Fig. 3 and 4, is necessary for the handle 2.
  • the support 3 is essentially rigid. Movable parts are here not necessary. However, the wiper cover 4 needs specific details to be attached to the support 3.
  • the wiper surfaces 5 and the flat sides 7 are preferably implemented as at least essentially even.
  • the flat sides 7 of the support 3 are used for supporting the wiper cover 4 and have longitudinal edges 8 which are parallel to one another, and preferably a common front longitudinal edge 8, which here and preferably is rounded.
  • the flat sides 7 may be made impermeable to a cleaning liquid 9, as indicated in Fig. 2. Alternatively, however, at least one flat side 7 may be permeable to cleaning liquid 9, in order to allow continuous supply of the neighboring wiper surface 5 with cleaning liquid 9.
  • the support 3 is implemented as essentially V-shaped. It may also be triangular, U-shaped or Y-shaped, and may well be in the shape of an angled profile.
  • the support 3 may have at least partially closed ends 10, as indicated in Fig. 4 and 5. This allows cleaning liquid 9 to be received and/or transported in an open region 11 of the support 3 formed between the wiper surfaces 5 and/or the flat sides 7.
  • the open region 11 or another section of the support 3 is made as a cavity for receiving and/or transporting cleaning liquid 9, preferably an amount of approximately 100 to 300 ml.
  • the cavity may have a constricted filling opening 12, as indicated in the top view shown in Fig. 5- Lateral delimitations and/or ribs 13 preferably form a filling slot and may prevent or minimize undesired sloshing out of cleaning liquid 9 during transport with the filling opening 12 pointing upwardly and/or may form a discharge limiter when working with the opening 12 pointing sideways.
  • Discharge openings 14 are preferably provided according to a variation, preferably in the delimitations 13 and/or possibly in another wall of the support 3, in order to allow a continuous defined discharge of cleaning liquid 9, particularly only during the wiping procedure.
  • the support 3 is linked to the handle 2 in its open region 11, i.e., between its flat sides 7, preferably using a first joint 15.
  • the distance of the linkage point and/or a pivot axis 16 of the first joint 15 from the front longitudinal edge 8 of the support 3 is 20 % to 80 %, preferably approximately 30 % to 60 %, further preferably essentially 40 % of the width of the wiper surfaces 5 and/or the flat sides 7 of the support 3.
  • the distance is approximately 1 cm to 4 cm, preferably approximately 1.5 cm to 3 cm, and very preferably essentially 2 cm.
  • the length of the wiper device 1 is normally between approximately 20 cm or 30 cm and approximately 100 cm and preferably between approximately 40 cm and approximately 60 cm. If the width provided is essentially 4 cm to 10 cm, preferably essentially 5 cm to 6 cm, with above-mentioned measures the support 3 may be handled very well using the handle 2. A largely uniform pressure can be exerted on the flat side 7 pointing downwardly, and thus on the wiper surface 5 in use.
  • the linkage point and/or a pivot axis 16 of the first joint 15 is preferably positioned essentially in the median line between the wiper surfaces 5 and/or the flat sides 7.
  • the first joint 15 preferably has a fixed pivot axis 16, preferably one, which runs parallel to the lengthwise extension of the wiper surfaces 5 and/or to the longitudinal edges 8 of the support 3.
  • the joint 15 preferably has two bearing points spaced in the direction of the pivot axis 16 on corresponding counter bearings and/or bearing brackets of the support 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows such a bracket 15' positioned between and joined to the two wings of the support 3.
  • the wiper device 1 preferably has a second joint 17 with a pivot axis 18, which runs transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the lengthwise extension of the wiper surfaces 5 and/or the longitudinal edges 8 of the support 3.
  • the second joint 17 is preferably positioned outside the open region 11 of the support 3, as indicated in Fig. 1 and 2. However, the second joint 17 may also be positioned inside. Both joints 15, 17 together provide the function of a universal or cardan joint.
  • the second joint 17 may be locked, particularly using a locking tube 19, which is movably guided on handle 2 as shown by arrow P in Fig. 2.
  • the locking of the second joint 17 may prevent the handle 2 from falling over unintentionally when it is leaned on the wall and/or simplify the scooping and/or transporting of cleaning liquid 9 using the support 3. Lateral tipping of the support 3 after scooping cleaning liquid 9 may be prevented by this locking.
  • the joints 15 and 17 are preferably rigidly connected to one another, using a connecting part 20 in the example shown.
  • the handle 2 is connected in an articulated way to the support 3 via the second joint 17 and the first joint 15.
  • the handle 2 and the support 3 are connected to one another using a cardan joint. This is achieved in the example shown in that the two pivot axes 16 and 18 run transversely to one another, preferably perpendicularly.
  • only one single joint may also be provided for connecting the handle 2 to the support 3.
  • the handle 2 and/or the support 3 are replaceable.
  • a handle socket (not shown) or another coupling may adjoin the second joint 17 in order to detachably connect the handle 2 to the support 3.
  • Fig. 7 to 9 now show a further and preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the support 3 is not a rigid construction but is of the foldaway type (see US 5,864,914 A and WO 03/020100 A1 ).
  • the flat sides 7 of the support 3 are formed on wings 3', 3" that are hinge-connected to each other along the lengthwise extension of the wiper surfaces 5, preferably along the common front longitudinal edge 8 of the flat sides 7, a detachable connecting means 30 is provided between the wings 3', 3" fixedly connecting the wings 3', 3" in an operative position thereof, i.e. in the usage state of the wiper device I.
  • the wings 3', 3" with the detachable connecting means 30 in fact detached may freely swivel to an extended or straight position or even further to an again angled release position (to be seen in Fig. 9).
  • the wiper cover 4 In the release position the wiper cover 4 will freely fall from or may be easily removed from the wings 3', 3" of the support 3 as it is similarly provided in the prior art.
  • the wiper cover 4 may easily be attached to the support 3 in this position of the wings 3', 3" by just positioning the wings 3', 3" on top of the wiper cover 4 and pushing the support 3 downwards towards the wiper cover 4 so that the longitudinal edges 8 of the wings 3', 3" attach to the corresponding parts of the wiper cover 4 (insertion pockets, holding strips, Velcro strips etc.).
  • Fig. 7 to 9 shows that the hinged connection 29 is provided, preferably directly between the wings 3', 3", by means of a swivel pin or swiveling pins in corresponding bearings.
  • the enlarged view of the hinged connection between the wings 3', 3" in Fig. 8b shows a modification where the hinged connection 29 is provided directly between the wings 3', 3" by means of a living hinge of plastics.
  • This construction is particularly convenient if all or at least most of the parts of the support 3 are made from plastics, in particular both wings 3', 3". Both wings may be formed together with the living hinge, a plastic strip of reduced thickness and thus flexibility, as a one-piece plastics molding.
  • Fig. 7 to 9 is insofar particularly advantageous, as the linkage between the support 3 and the handle 2 is provided by a bracket 31 fixedly connected to one of the wings 3', 3".
  • the detachable connecting means 30 is provided between the bracket 31 and the other one of the wings 3', 3".
  • the bracket 31 is fixedly attached to the upper wing 3' in Fig. 9 and this bracket 31 carries a magnet 30' of the magnetic device which forms here the detachable connecting means 30.
  • lower wing 3" metallic counter plate 30" can be seen that is cooperating with the magnet part 30' of the magnetic device to connect both wings 3', 3" in the usage state of the wiper device 1 shown in Fig. 8 as far as the support 3 is concerned.
  • the detachable connecting means 30 are not necessarily magnetic means. They can be the usual connecting means like mechanical snap-in means, Velcro means or the like (see again US 5,864,914 A for appropriate disclosure).
  • Fig. 8a there are indicated wall segments 32 connected to one wing 3" and sealingly abutting the other wing 3' in the usage state of the wiper device 1 (indicated in dash-dotted lines).
  • the wings 3', 3" and the wall segments 32 together form the cavity explained before in relation to the first embodiment, this cavity containing a cleaning liquid 9. So this specific feature can be provided even with the foldaway construction of the second embodiment.
  • the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 to 9 is also a specific embodiment with regard to the mounting of the wiper cover 4 to the support 3, namely the longitudinal edges 8 of the wings 3', 3" of the support.
  • the support 3 has position fixing means 33 at the longitudinal edges of the wings 3', 3" or at corners thereof that are facing away from the hinged connection 29 of the wings 3', 3", and the wiper cover 4 comprises narrow fixing strips 34 cooperating with the position fixing means 33 on the wings 3', 3" when the wiper cover 4 is attached to the support 3.
  • the wiper cover 4 is removable/replaceable with a system well known from the prior art of WO 03/020100 A1 .
  • Supplementary reference is made to this document WO 03/020100 A1 for the specifics of the connection of the wiper cover 4 to the support 3.
  • the entire contents of WO 03/020100 A1 are hereby included as a supplemental disclosure.
  • the traditional insertion pockets may be used as well, however here extending lengthwise with regard to the wiper surfaces 5.
  • the wiper cover 4 is replaceable, namely removably attached to the support 3.
  • the wiper cover 4 preferably has a sponge material 21, as shown in Fig. 6, which is particularly implemented as porous and/or hydrophilic.
  • the sponge material 21 is preferably made of plastics.
  • the sponge material 21 is preferably covered by a cleaning textile 22 or integrated therein.
  • the cleaning textile 22 is permanently bonded to the sponge material 21.
  • the cleaning textile 22 is replaceable; for example, the cleaning textile 22 loosely covers the sponge material 21 in the form of a washcloth or the like and is looped around the support 3.
  • the suggested wiper cover 4 preferably has at least one fastening means 23 for detachable fastening on the support 3, such as a pocket 24 or a retaining strip for engaging the support 3, particularly a free longitudinal edge of the support 3, as illustrated in the detail enlargement shown in Fig. 3.
  • the pocket 24 or the retaining strip preferably extends over the entire length, i.e., parallel to the longitudinal edges 6, of the wiper cover 4.
  • other connection or engagement possibilities with the support 3 may also be implemented.
  • the fastening means 23 also include a projecting retaining edge 25, which is preferably sewn on or pushed on, and which may engage behind edge 8 or another shoulder of the support 3 in order to secure the wiper cover 4, which is also already held on the support 3 in the other region using its pocket 24, preferably in a form-fitting way, against displacement and/or slipping on the flat sides 7, as illustrated in the detail enlargement shown in Fig. 4.
  • the wiper cover 4 is secured and/or removably attached to the support 3 using a hook-and-loop fastener 26, snap fasteners (not shown), buttons, or other engagement elements and/or connection means.
  • the hook-and-loop fastener 26 is used to secure the wiper cover 4, so that the retaining edge 25 may be kept engaged behind the longitudinal edge 8 of the support 3.
  • the hook-and-loop fastener 26 thus particularly prevents the wiper cover 4 from coming loose or lifting off perpendicularly to the flat side 7.
  • the suggested wiper cover 4 is distinguished in that it has a rib-like textile ridge 27 which is implemented in such a way that it protrudes from at least one wiper surface 5 in the usage state of the wiper cover 4, and here projects from the front and/or common longitudinal edge 6 of the wiper surfaces 5 and/or the front longitudinal edge 8 of the support 3.
  • the textile ridge 27 allows significantly more effective cleaning, particularly of edges and corners.
  • the textile ridge 27 is preferably stiffer than the wiper cover 4 and/or its textile material.
  • the wiper sides 5 of the wiper cover 4 are made of two, preferably different, textile pieces 28 and 29, which are connected to one another, preferably sewn or glued, to form the textile ridge 27, as shown in Fig. 6.
  • the wiper sides 5 may also be formed by only one textile piece which is folded and preferably sewn or glued in a strip to form the textile ridge 27.
  • the textile ridge 27 may be stiffened using a stiffening strip (not shown) or an element, which is simultaneously used as a connection and/or adhesive element. Furthermore, the textile ridge 27 may also be provided with cleaning bristles if necessary.
  • the object of the present invention is a wiper device having a handle, support, and an attached or integrated wiper cover, as well as a wiper device of this type but without the wiper cover, and finally a wiper cover per se, which may be used in connection with a wiper device of this type.
