Wischgeräte mit einer Wischplatte für einen Wischbezug, wobei der Wischbezug in einer Auswringvarrichtung auswringbar ist, sind allgemein bekannt.Mop devices with a mop plate for a mop cover, wherein the mop cover is wringable in a Auswringvarrichtung, are well known.

Die US 2003/0167589 A1 offenbart ein Wischsystem der gattungsgemäßen Art mit einem Flachwischer und einer Auswringvorrichtung für den Flachwischer, wobei die Auswringvorrichtung Stabilisierungselemente aufweist, die ein Verkippen des Flachwischers beim Auspressen in die Auswringvorrichtung verhindern sollen.The US 2003/0167589 A1 discloses a wiper system of the generic type with a flat wiper and a wringer for the flat wiper, wherein the wringer has stabilizing elements to prevent tilting of the flat wiper when pressed into the wringer.

Aus der EP 1 234 537 A2 ist eine Auswringvorrichtung für einen Fransenmop zu entnehmen. Diese Auswringvorrichtung zeichnet sich durch eine aufwendige Hebelkonstruktion aus, mittels welcher der Fransenmopp in die Auswringvorrichtung gepresst wird.From the EP 1 234 537 A2 a wringer for a fringe mop is to be taken. This wringer is characterized by a complex lever construction, by means of which the fringe mop is pressed into the wringer.

Die EP 0 808 601 A2 zeigt ein Reinigungsgerät mit Wischplatten und wenigstens einem Reinigungelement, welches an der Wischplatte befestigbar ist und von dieser wenigstens teilweise wegschwenkbar ist In der EP 0 426 209 A1 wird ein Reinigungselement mit Wischplatten offenbart, wobei die Wischplatten über eine Klickverbindung miteinander verbindbar sind.The EP 0 808 601 A2 shows a cleaning device with mop plates and at least one cleaning element, which is attachable to the mop plate and at least partially thereof can be pivoted away in the EP 0 426 209 A1 a cleaning element is disclosed with mop plates, wherein the mop plates are connected to one another via a click connection.

Die EP 0 787 461 A2 zeigt ein Reinigungsgerät mit einem klappbaren Halter für einen Wischbezug.The EP 0 787 461 A2 shows a cleaning device with a folding holder for a mop cover.

Auch die EP 1 147 735 A2 beschreibt ein Reinigungsgerät mit einem Bodenwischer, welcher klappbare Teile aufweist.Also the EP 1 147 735 A2 describes a cleaning device with a floor wiper, which has hinged parts.

In der Schrift DE 43 18 792 A2 wird ein Flächenwischgerät mit Eimer und einer einfügbaren Ausdrückeinrichtung offenbart.In Scripture DE 43 18 792 A2 a surface wiper with bucket and an insertable squeezing device is disclosed.

Aus der DE 44 33 001 ist eine Auswringvorrichtung für ein Wischgerät bekannt. Das Wischgerät umfasst eine plattenförmige Wischplatte, auf der einFrom the DE 44 33 001 a wringer for a wiper device is known. The mop device comprises a plate-shaped mop plate on which a

Wischbezug aufgespannt ist Zum Auspressen des Wischbezugs kann die Wischplatte mit aufgespanntem Wischbezug auf einer siebartigen Auflagefläche platziert werden. Mittels eines Presshebels, der auf der dem Wischbezug abgewandten Seite der Wischplatte angreift, kann der Wischbezug ausgewrungen werden. Nachteilig an dieser Auswringvorrichtung ist, dass der Flächendruck klein ist und dadurch die in dem Wischbezug verbleibende Restfeuchte groß ist. Eine hohe Restfeuchte ist insbesondere bei der Reinigung empfindlicher Böden zu vermeiden.Mop cover is clamped on To squeeze out the mop cover, the mop plate with clamped mop cover can be placed on a sieve-like support surface. By means of a pressing lever, which acts on the side facing away from the mop cover side of the mop plate, the mop cover can be wrung out. A disadvantage of this wringer is that the surface pressure is small and thereby in the mop cover remaining residual moisture is large. A high residual moisture is to be avoided especially when cleaning sensitive floors.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wischsystem der gattungsgemäßen Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass der Wischbezug ohne Berührung einfach auswringbar ist und dass nur eine geringe Restfeuchte im Wischbezug verbleibt.The invention has for its object to further develop a wiper system of the generic type such that the mop cover is easy to wring out without touching and that only a small residual moisture remains in the mop cover.

Die Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.The object is achieved with the features of claim 1. In advantageous embodiments, the dependent claims relate.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe weist die Wischplatte zumindest eine erste Verbindungseinrichtung auf, die direkt an der Wischplatte angeordnet ist und die mit zumindest einer zweiten Verbindungseinrichtung der Auswringvorrichtung zum Auswringen des Wischbezugs in Verbindung bringbar ist und dass die Auswringvorrichtung eine Hebeleinrichtung mit der zweiten Verbindungseinrichtung aufweist, umfassend einen Betätigungshebel und einen mit dem Betätigungshebel verbundenen Presshebel, wobei der Presshebel die zweite Verbindungseinrichtung bildet und mit der ersten Verbindungseinrichtung in Verbindung bringbar ist.To achieve the object, the mop plate has at least one first connection device which is arranged directly on the mop plate and which can be brought into contact with at least one second connection device of the wringing device for wringing out the mop cover and in that the wringing device has a lever device with the second connection device an operating lever and a pressing lever connected to the operating lever, wherein the pressing lever forms the second connecting means and is connectable to the first connecting means.

Die Verbindungseinrichtung, die direkt an der Wischplatte angeordnet ist, ermöglicht eine sichere Übertragung der für das Auswringen notwendigen Kräfte. Im Gegensatz zu einer Krafteinleitung über den Stiel, bei dem die Kraft durch das Gelenk zwischen Stiel und Wischplatte geleitet wird, können höhere Kräfte eingeleitet werden. Die Gefahr, dass der Stiel beispielsweise über das Gelenk abkippen kann, ist nicht gegeben. Der Wischbezug kann effektiv ausgewrungen werden. Durch die möglichen großen Auswringkräfte verbleibt nach dem Auswringvorgang nur eine geringe Restfeuchte in dem Wischbezug. Der Hebel ermöglicht eine gute Dosierung der Auspresskraft.The connecting device, which is arranged directly on the mop plate, allows a secure transmission of the forces necessary for the wringing. In contrast to an introduction of force via the stem, in which the force is passed through the joint between stem and mop plate, higher forces can be introduced. The danger that the stem can tip over the joint, for example, is not given. The mop cover can be wrung effectively. By the possible large wringing forces remains after wringing only a small residual moisture in the mop cover. The lever allows a good dosage of the extrusion force.

Die Wischplatte kann zwei Wischplattenteile umfassen und in Längsrichtung betrachtet im wesentlichen mittig ein sich quer oder parallel zur Längsachse der Wischplatte erstreckendes Gelenk aufweisen, das die beiden Wischplattenteile relativ klappbar miteinander verbindet. Durch das Zusammenklappen der Wischplatte kann sich der Wischbezug zumindest teilweise von der Wischplatte lösen. Der Wischbezug kann dann besonders effektiv ausgewrungen werden, da der Wischbezug ähnlich wie beim manuellen Auswringen in einer Auswringvorrichtung komprimiert werden kann.The mop plate may comprise two mop plate parts and viewed in the longitudinal direction substantially centrally have a transversely or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mop plate extending joint which connects the two mop plate parts relatively hinged together. By folding the mop plate, the mop cover can at least partially detach from the mop plate. The mop cover can then be wrung out particularly effectively, since the mop cover can be compressed in a wringer similar to manual wringing.

Die Wischplattenteile können jeweils auf ihren einander abgewandten Querseiten jeweils zumindest eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung des Wischbezugs aufweisen. Durch die Befestigung des Wischbezugs an den Querseiten der Wischplatte hängt der Wischbezug bei zusammenklappen senkrecht nach unten, ohne sich von der Wischplatte zu lösen. Der Wischbezug kann dann zum Auswringen einfach in eine trichterförmige Auswringvorrichtung eingeführt werden.The mop plate parts may each have at least one fastening device for fastening the mop cover on their transverse sides facing away from each other. By attaching the mop cover to the transverse sides of the mop plate, the mop cover hangs when folded down vertically, without having to be detached from the mop plate. The mop cover can then be inserted to wring out easily in a funnel-shaped wringer.

Jede der Wischplattenteile kann zumindest eine erste Verbindungseinrichtung aufweisen. Dadurch kann das Ausrichten der Wischplatte entfallen, um die erste Verbindungseinrichtung mit der zweiten Verbindungseinrichtung in Verbindung zu bringen. Der Auswringvorgang kann dadurch nochmals beschleunigt werden.Each of the wiper plate parts may have at least one first connection device. As a result, the alignment of the mop plate can be dispensed with in order to bring the first connection device into contact with the second connection device. The wringing process can be accelerated again.

In einer Ausgestaltung kann die erste Verbindungseinrichtung durch eine Ausnehmung der dem Wischbezug abgewandten Seite der Wischplatte oder durch eine Durchbrechung der Wischplatte gebildet sein. Durch die Durchbrechungen bzw. Ausnehmungen können Wischplatten unterschiedlicher Größen, insbesondere unterschiedlicher Längserstreckungen, in einer Auswringvorrichtung ausgewrungen werden, da die Durchbrechungen bzw. Ausnehmungen immer in einem gleichen Abstand zur Mittellinie oder den äußeren, im geklappten Zustand unteren, Querkanten angeordnet werden können.In one embodiment, the first connection device may be formed by a recess of the mop cover side facing away from the mop plate or by an opening of the mop plate. Through the openings or recesses mop plates can be different Sizes, in particular different longitudinal extents, are wrung out in a wringer, since the perforations or recesses can always be arranged at an equal distance from the center line or the outer, in the folded state lower, transverse edges.

In einer anderen Ausgestaltung kann die erste Verbindungseinrichtung durch die einander zugewandten Querseiten der Wischplattenteile gebildet sein, die im geklappten Zustand Pressflächen für die zweite Verbindungseinrichtung bilden. Diese Anordnung der Pressflächen der Auswringvorrichtung ermöglicht die Verwendung herkömmlicher Flügelwischgeräte in Zusammenhang mit der Auswringvorrichtung.In another embodiment, the first connecting device may be formed by the mutually facing transverse sides of the wiper plate parts, which form pressing surfaces for the second connecting device in the folded state. This arrangement of the pressing surfaces of the wringing device allows the use of conventional wiper devices in connection with the wringer.

Die erste Verbindungseinrichtung kann durch einen Körper gebildet sein, der auf der dem Wischbezug abgewandten Seite der Wischplatte angeordnet ist und über die Wischplatte hinaussteht. Der Körper ist einfach auf einer Wischplatte anbringbar. Durch den Körper können Wischplatten unterschiedlicher Größen in einer Auswringvorrichtung ausgewrungen werden, da der Körper immer in einem gleichen Abstand zur Mittellinie oder den äußeren Querkanten angeordnet werden kann.The first connection device can be formed by a body which is arranged on the side of the mop plate facing away from the mop cover and projects beyond the mop plate. The body can easily be attached to a mop plate. Through the body wiper plates of different sizes can be wrung out in a wringer, since the body can always be arranged at an equal distance from the center line or the outer transverse edges.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann die erste Verbindungseinrichtung durch zumindest einen Vorsprung gebildet sein, der an einer Längskante der Wischplatte angeordnet ist. Durch die Vorsprünge erfolgt ein sicherer Eingriff der beiden Verbindungseinrichtungen.In a further embodiment, the first connecting device may be formed by at least one projection which is arranged on a longitudinal edge of the mop plate. By the projections there is a secure engagement of the two connecting devices.

Die Aufgabe wird außerdem durch eine Auswringvorrichtung für ein Wischgerät mit einer Wischplatte für einen Wischbezug gelöst, bei der die Auswringvorrichtung eine Hebeleinrichtung mit der zweiten Verbindungseinrichtung aufweist, umfassend einen Betätigungshebel und einen mit dem Betätigungshebel verbundenen Presshebel, wobei der Presshebel die zweite Verbindungseinrichtung bildet und mit der ersten Verbindungseinrichtung in Verbindung bringbar ist.The object is also achieved by a wringer for a wiper device with a mop plate for a mop cover, wherein the wringing device comprises a lever device with the second connecting device, comprising an actuating lever and a pressing lever connected to the operating lever, wherein the pressing lever forms the second connecting device and can be brought into connection with the first connecting device.

Die Auswringvorrichtung ist einfach und stabil aufgebaut und weist nur wenige bewegliche Teile auf. Durch den Eingriff der Verbindungseinrichtung der Auswringeinrichtung direkt an der Wischplatte erfolgt ein sicheres Auswringen, wobei nur eine geringe Restfeuchte in der Wischplatte verbleibt. Die Auswringvorrichtung ist daher für einen professionellen Einsatz sehr gut geeignet. Die Kraftübertragung vom Betätigungshebel auf den Presshebel erfolgt ohne zwischengeschaltetes Gelenk, so dass die Hebeleinrichtung sehr robust ist. Durch das trichterförmige Auswringsieb wird der Wischbezug beim Auswringen bis auf eine geringe Restfeuchte komprimiert.The wringer is simple and stable and has only a few moving parts. The engagement of the connecting device of the wringing out directly to the mop plate is a secure wringing, with only a small residual moisture remains in the mop plate. The wringer is therefore very well suited for professional use. The power transmission from the operating lever to the press lever is done without intervening joint, so that the lever device is very robust. Through the funnel-shaped Auswringsieb the mop cover is compressed during wringing to a low residual moisture.

In einer Ausgestaltung können die zweite und die erste Verbindungseinrichtung kraftschlüssig verbindbar sein. Durch die kraftschlüssige Verbindung können auch Wischgeräte in der Auswringvorrichtung ausgewrungen werden, die nicht explizit dafür ausgerüstet sind. Die erste Verbindungseinrichtung kann beispielsweise durch die der Wischfläche abgewandten Oberfläche der Wischplatte gebildet sein.In one embodiment, the second and the first connection means can be positively connected. The non-positive connection also wipers can be wrung in the wringer, which are not explicitly equipped for it. The first connection device can be formed, for example, by the surface of the mop plate facing away from the wiping surface.

In einer anderen Ausgestaltung können die zweite und die erste Verbindungseinrichtung formschlüssig verbindbar sein. Durch die formschlüssige Verbindung ergibt sich eine sichere Verbindung, durch die die Kraft des Presshebels sicher zum Auswringen übertragen werden kann.In another embodiment, the second and the first connection means can be positively connected. The positive connection results in a secure connection through which the force of the pressing lever can be safely transmitted to wring.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist das oben beschriebene Wischgerät mit der oben beschriebenen Auswringvorrichtung zu einem Wischsystem kombiniert.To solve the problem, the wiper device described above is combined with the wringing device described above to form a wiper system.
