Vorrichtung zum Reinigen eines HohlqefäßesDevice for cleaning a Hohlqefäßes
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen eines Hohlgefäßes, wel- ches oben einen engen Hals und darunter einen radial aufgeweiteten Hohlraum aufweist, mit einem Hangriff und einem durch den engen Hals des Hohlgefäßes hindurchführbaren Reinigungskopf, der mit Reinigungsmaterial versehen ist und im Inneren des Hohlraums aufpreizbar ist.The invention relates to a device for cleaning a hollow vessel, which has a narrow neck and a radially expanded cavity at the top, with a handle and a cleaning head which can be passed through the narrow neck of the hollow vessel and is provided with cleaning material and can be expanded inside the cavity is.
Reinigungsvorrichtungen der genannten Art sind beispielsweise aus der CH-PS 43 06, CH-PS 24 204 oder CH-PS 167 467 bekannt. Bei den vorbekannten Reinigungsvorrichtungen ist der Reinigungskopf als mehrteiligerCleaning devices of the type mentioned are known for example from CH-PS 43 06, CH-PS 24 204 or CH-PS 167 467. In the prior art cleaning devices, the cleaning head is as a multipart
Bürstenkopf ausgebildet, der durch einen entsprechendenBrush head formed by a corresponding
Betätigungsmechanismus aufspreizbar ist. Hierdurch legen sich die Teile desActuating mechanism is spreadable. This places the parts of the
Borstenkopfes an die Wandungen des Hohlgefäßes an, welches auf diese Art und Weise intensiv gereinigt werden kann.Bristle head to the walls of the hollow vessel, which can be thoroughly cleaned in this way.
Die vorbekannten Vorrichtungen sind insbesondere für Flaschen oder ähnlich Hohlgefäße geeignet. Sie sind weniger geeignet, wenn es darauf ankommt, ein Hohlgefäß zu reinigen, welches eine sehr starke radiale Auswölbung hat, wie dies beispielsweise bei Dekantiergefäßen für Rotwein der Fall ist. Hier können sich die starr ausgebildeten Teile des Bürstenkopfes nicht mehr ausreichend den Ausbauchungen der Wandungen anpassen.The previously known devices are particularly suitable for bottles or similar hollow vessels. They are less suitable when it comes to cleaning a hollow vessel, which has a very strong radial bulge, as is the case for example with decanters for red wine. Here, the rigid trained parts of the brush head can no longer sufficiently adapt to the bulges of the walls.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß sich der Reinigungskopf besser den Konturen des Hohlgefäßes anpassen kann, um eine verbesserte Reinigungswirkung zu erzielen. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung ausgehend von einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art vor, daß der Reinigungskopf aus mindestens einer weitgehend steifen, sich in Einschieberichtung erstreckenden Schlaufe aus elastischem Material besteht, die mit Reinigungsmaterial überzogen ist und sich beim Aufstauchen auf dem Boden des Gefäßes nach außen verbiegt und dabei am Boden und den Wandungen des Hohlgefäßes unter Anpassung an deren Kontur anlegt.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop the device of the type mentioned in that the cleaning head can better adapt to the contours of the hollow vessel in order to achieve an improved cleaning effect. To solve this problem, the invention proposes, starting from a device of the type mentioned above, that the cleaning head consists of at least one substantially rigid, extending in the insertion direction loop of elastic material, which is coated with cleaning material and the upsetting on the bottom of the vessel bends outwards while applying to the bottom and the walls of the hollow vessel with adaptation to the contour.
Beim Gebrauch der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung wird zunächst das untere Ende der Schlaufe eng zusammengebogen, so daß die Schlaufe durch den en- gen Hals des Hohlgefäßes von oben in das Hohlgefäß eingeführt werden kann, bis die Schlaufe gegen den Boden des Hohlgefäßes stößt. Bei weiterem Einschieben der Schlaufe in das Hohlgefäß verbiegt sich die Schlaufe durch Aufstauchen auf dem Boden radial nach außen und legt sich dabei gegen den Boden und die Wandungen des Hohlgefäßes an. Wegen ihrer Elastizität, paßt sich die Schlaufe dabei den Konturen des Bodens und der Wandung vollkommen an. An ihrer Außenseite ist die Schlaufe mit einem geeigneten Reinigungsmaterial überzogen. Bei diesem Reinigungsmaterial kann es sich beispielsweise um einen geeigneten Reinigungsplüsch handeln. Durch Verdrehen des Gefäßes relativ zu der Schlaufe werden der Boden und die Wandungen des Hohlgefäßes intensiv gereinigt oder getrocknet.When using the device according to the invention, first the lower end of the loop is bent tight so that the loop can be inserted through the narrow neck of the hollow vessel from above into the hollow vessel until the loop abuts against the bottom of the hollow vessel. Upon further insertion of the loop into the hollow vessel, the loop bends by upsetting on the ground radially outward and places itself against the bottom and the walls of the hollow vessel. Because of its elasticity, the loop adapts perfectly to the contours of the floor and the wall. On its outside, the loop is covered with a suitable cleaning material. This cleaning material may be, for example, a suitable cleaning plush. By rotating the vessel relative to the loop, the bottom and the walls of the vessel are thoroughly cleaned or dried.
Die Schlaufe besteht zweckmäßig aus einem flachen Kunststoffband, welches mit dem Reinigungsmaterial verbunden ist. Das flache Kunststoffband ermöglicht relativ große Kontaktflächen an den Wandungen und dem Boden des zu reinigenden Gefäßes. Außerdem überträgt ein solches Band am besten die bei der Reinigungsarbeit zu übertragenden Kräfte und Momente, ohne das die Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Konturen des Hohlgefäßes verloren geht.The loop expediently consists of a flat plastic band, which is connected to the cleaning material. The flat plastic band allows relatively large contact surfaces on the walls and the bottom of the vessel to be cleaned. In addition, such a band best transfers the forces and moments to be transmitted during the cleaning work, without losing the adaptability to the contours of the hollow vessel.
Eine noch bessere Anpassungsfähigkeit und Handhabbarkeit ergibt sich, wenn das Kunststoffband der Schlaufe in den weniger auf Biegung beanspruchten Bereichen eine höhere Biegefestigkeit als in den höher auf Biegung bean- spruchten Bereichen hat. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die als Reinigungskopf dienende Schlaufe optimal dem Verlauf des zu reinigenden Gefäß anzupassen. Die höhere Biegesteifigkeit in bestimmten Bereichen der Schlaufe wird zweckmäßig dadurch erreicht, daß das Kunststoffband dort zwei oder mehrlagig ausgebildet ist.An even better adaptability and manageability results when the plastic strap of the loop has a higher flexural strength in the less flexed areas than in the higher flexed areas. In this way, it is possible to optimally adapt the loop serving as a cleaning head to the course of the vessel to be cleaned. The higher bending stiffness in certain areas of the loop is advantageously achieved in that the plastic tape is formed there two or more layers.
Das Reinigungsmaterial ist zweckmäßig als über das Kunststoffband gezogene, auswechselbare Hülle ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise kann das Reinigungsmaterial auf einfach Weise anderweitig gereinigt werden, z. B. in der Waschmaschine, und im Bedarfsfall ausgewechselt werden.The cleaning material is expediently designed as a removable cover pulled over the plastic strip. In this way, the cleaning material can be cleaned easily in a simple way, for. B. in the washing machine, and be replaced if necessary.
Sofern es in erster Linie auf die mechanische Reinigung der Wandungen des Hohlgefäßes ankommt, ist das Reinigungsmaterial an der Außenseite mit scheuernd wirkenden Textilfasern versehen. Wenn die Vorrichtung allerdings dazu verwendet werden soll, die Innenwand von Hohlgefäßen tropfenfrei trocken zu wischen, besteht das Reinigungsmaterial an der Außenseite aus trocknend wirkenden Textilfasern.If it depends primarily on the mechanical cleaning of the walls of the hollow vessel, the cleaning material is provided on the outside with scrubbing acting textile fibers. However, if the device is to be used to wipe dry the inner wall of hollow vessels without dripping, the cleaning material on the outside consists of drying textile fibers.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:

In der Zeichnung sind der Handgriff des Reinigungsgerätes mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 und der Reinigungskopf mit dem Bezugszeichen 2 bezeichnet. Der Reinigungskopf 2 weist eine Schlaufe 3 auf, die aus einem flachen Kunststoffband 4 hergestellt ist, welches mit seinen beiden Enden 4a und 4b am Handgriff 1 befestigt ist. Das Kunststoffband 4 ist in seinem sich unmittelbar an den Handgriff anschließenden Bereich dreilagig ausgebildet und hat dort aus diesem Grund eine verhältnismäßig große Steifigkeit. In den sich anschließenden Bereichen ist das Kunststoffband 4 demgegenüber zweilagig ausgebildet (vgl. Figur 3b), und hat dort deshalb eine mittelmäßige Steifigkeit. Am unteren Ende der Schlaufe 3 ist das Kunststoffband 4 demgegenüber einlagig ausgebildet und hat dort deshalb die geringste Steifigkeit.In the drawing, the handle of the cleaning device by the reference numeral 1 and the cleaning head by the reference numeral 2 are designated. The cleaning head 2 has a loop 3, which is made of a flat plastic strip 4, which is fastened with its two ends 4a and 4b on the handle 1. The plastic strip 4 is formed in its three adjacent directly to the handle area and has there for this reason a relatively high rigidity. By contrast, in the adjoining areas, the plastic strip 4 has a two-layered construction (compare FIG. 3b), and therefore has a mediocre rigidity there. At the lower end of the loop 3, the plastic strip 4, in contrast, has a single layer and therefore has the lowest rigidity there.
Außen ist das Kunststoffband 4 von einer Hülle 5 aus einem Reinigungstextil, z. B. einem Reinigungsplüsch umgeben. Diese Hülle 5 kann von dem Kunst- stoffband 4 abgezogen werden und separat gereinigt werden, bzw. ausgewechselt werden. Zum Ablösen von Verunreinigung der Wand des zu reinigenden Hohlgefäßes ist diese Hülle 5 außen mit scheuernden Textilfasern versehen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Hülle 5 zum Zwecke des Trocknens auch mit trockenen Textilfasern versehen sein.Outside is the plastic strip 4 of a shell 5 made of a cleaning fabric, z. B. surrounded a cleaning plush. This shell 5 can be pulled off the plastic strip 4 and cleaned separately, or replaced. To remove contamination of the wall of the hollow vessel to be cleaned, this shell 5 is provided on the outside with abrasive textile fibers. Alternatively or additionally, the shell 5 may also be provided with dry textile fibers for the purpose of drying.
Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, wird der als Schlaufe 3 ausgebildete Reinigungskopf 2 von oben in das zu reinigende Hohlgefäß 6 (hier ein Rotwein-Dekantiergefäß) eingeführt werden. Sobald die Schlaufe 3 mit ihrem unteren Ende auf den Boden des Hohlgefäßes 6 auftrifft, biegen sich die Schenkel der Schlaufe 3 nach außen. Beim weiteren Einschieben der Schlaufe 3 in den engen Hals des Hohlgefäßes 6 schmiegen sich die elastischen Schenkel der Schlaufe 2 an denAs can be seen from FIG. 2, the cleaning head 2 designed as a loop 3 is introduced from above into the hollow vessel 6 to be cleaned (here a red wine decanting vessel). As soon as the loop 3 strikes the bottom of the hollow vessel 6 with its lower end, the legs of the loop 3 bend outwards. Upon further insertion of the loop 3 in the narrow neck of the hollow vessel 6, the elastic legs of the loop 2 nestle against the
Boden und die Wandungen des Hohlgefäßes 6 an und passen sich dabei deren Kontur an.Floor and the walls of the hollow vessel 6 and thereby adapt to their contour.
Zum Reinigen des Hohlgefäßes 6 wird sodann eine relative Drehbewegung zwischen der Reinigungsvorrichtung einerseits und dem Hohlgefäß 6 andererseits erzeugt. Wenn die Hülle 5 mit Scheuerfasern bestückt ist, werden dabei Verunreinigungen von der Wandung bzw. vom Boden des Hohlgefäßes 6 mechanisch abgelöst. Wenn demgegenüber die Hülle 5 mit trocknenden Textilfasern bestückt ist, können auf diese Weise die Wandungen und der Boden des Hohlgefäßes schlierenfrei getrocknet werden.For cleaning the hollow vessel 6 then a relative rotational movement between the cleaning device on the one hand and the hollow vessel 6 on the other hand generated. If the sheath 5 is equipped with abrasive fibers, contaminants are mechanically detached from the wall or from the bottom of the hollow vessel 6. In contrast, if the shell 5 is equipped with drying textile fibers, in this way the walls and the bottom of the hollow vessel can be dried without streaks.
Zum Reinigen der Hülle 5 kann diese von dem Kunststoffband 4 abgezogen werden und separat gewaschen werden, z. B. in der Waschmaschine. To clean the shell 5, this can be deducted from the plastic strip 4 and washed separately, z. B. in the washing machine.
