Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mop and a pedal for it.
  • the mop comprises a mop head with at least one cleaning body, wherein the mop head is connected to a handle.
  • the cleaning body may for example consist of a variety of fringes.
  • Such mops are well known and are used for wiping soils for use.
  • the previously known mops are used, for example, together with buckets, which have a Auswringein- or device for wringing out of the cleaning body.
  • the efficiency of the wringing process being largely dependent on the user's force Wiping mop depends, which this exercises by hand on the stem and the mop head on the cleaning body.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a mop of the type mentioned in that it is easier to handle, especially that the wringing of the cleaning body is simplified. In particular, users of the mop with little force and / or physical discomfort should be able to wring out the cleaning body effortlessly.
  • a mop comprising a mop head with at least one cleaning body, wherein the mop head is connected to a handle, wherein the mop head has an annular Has foot lever for wringing of the cleaning body in a wringing or -Vorraum and wherein the foot lever is assigned to the mop head concentric.
  • a mop comprising a mop head with at least one cleaning body, wherein the mop head is connected to a stem, wherein the stem has an annular foot lever for wringing of the cleaning body in a wringing or -Vorraum and wherein the foot lever the stem concentrically surrounds on the side facing the mop head.
  • the annular pedal allows the user, in addition to the force that he exerts on the handle on the mop head and thus on the cleaning body, with one of his feet force on the cleaning body to thereby achieve an improved wringing result.
  • the user can divide variable between hands and feet, with the possibility also exists to guide the handle of the mop by hand only and exercise the force exclusively by one foot on the foot lever on the cleaning body.
  • the annular shape of the foot lever and its concentric assignment to the mop head or its concentric arrangement on the mop head side facing the stem is advantageous because such a pedal can be operated either easily with the left or right foot of the user.
  • the foot lever is always in an optimal position / assignment on the mop, regardless of the inclination of the mop head or the handle, so that it does not require adjustments of the foot lever during use by the user; a pendulum of the foot lever on the mop head or stem in the direction of gravity and a consequent, unfavorable for the user position of the foot lever is reliably excluded by the annular shape of the foot pedal.
  • the foot lever is designed so that a sufficiently large force can be exerted by the foot of the user, even if it is humid, for example.
  • the foot lever for example, an increased surface roughness, for example by a profiling, have, which prevents the user from slipping off the foot lever when wringing the cleaning body with his foot.
  • the foot lever is either on the side facing the mop head of the handle or in the upper region of the mop head, that is arranged such that the foot lever is easily accessible with one foot. Due to the arrangement of the foot lever as close as possible to the cleaning body facing side of the mop, the wringing of the cleaning body in a wringing or -Vorraum so far unproblematic, as the danger of tipping a with the Auswringein- or -
  • the foot pedal can be manufactured separately, based on the mop head or handle. It is advantageous that the pedal can be used, for example, as a separately manufactured item in conjunction with differently designed mops. In addition, pedal can be made in different dimensions, so that adapted to the particular application and / or user foot lever on the mop can be applied. A good adaptation to the particular circumstances of the application is possible.
  • the pedal can be fixed with fasteners on the mop head or stem.
  • the fastening means may be formed for example by screws or a snap connection.
  • the foot lever may have an annular tread or an annular ring.
  • an annular tread the footprint for the foot is larger, which is advantageous in terms of a particularly simple operation.
  • the wreath is advantageous because no cleaning liquid can collect on it. The wreath is therefore always very handy.
  • the foot lever may have radially inside a hollow guide cylinder which is surrounded by the tread surface or the rim on the outer peripheral side and is fixedly connected thereto, wherein the foot lever is rotatably and / or longitudinally displaceable connected to the mop head or the handle.
  • a foot lever can easily thread onto the end of the handle remote from the mop head and move in the direction of the mop head.
  • the hollow guide cylinder and the tread or the rim may be slotted, for example, at one point of its circumference, wherein the foot lever is thereby alsschnappbar in the radial direction of the mop head or the handle.
  • the guide cylinder and the tread surface may be non-positively and / or positively connected to each other.
  • the guide cylinder and the rim can be connected to one another by means of at least two, preferably at least three, spokes extending in the radial direction in a force-locking and / or form-fitting manner.
  • the guide cylinder and the tread or the rim can be integrally merging with each other and made of the same material.
  • a connection of the two parts by means of gluing and / or clamping may prove to be advantageous in terms of a simple and cost-effective production of the foot pedal.
  • the foot lever may be formed integrally and of the same material with the mop head or the stem.
  • the foot lever is thereby assigned to the mop head or the stem fixed and rigid. If the foot lever, for example, in one piece and of the same material connected to the mop head, different stems - without pedal - reach the application and the advantageous performance characteristics of the mop are maintained by the pedal. If the foot lever, in contrast, integrally and materially connected to the stem, this stem can be connected to different mop heads, each having no foot lever.
  • the foot lever preferably has a tread surface with a width of 3 to 5 cm or a wreath enclosing the stem with 3 to 5 cm distance on the outer peripheral side.
  • a width / distance corresponds to at least about half the width of an adult human foot. More preferably, the width / distance is 4 cm.
  • the width / distance is less than 3 cm there is a risk that the user will slip off with his foot, especially if the tread is wet and / or wet with slippery detergent. If the width / the distance on the other hand greater than 5 cm, the mop is unwieldy, since there is a risk to damage the peripheral edge of the foot lever when wiping furniture, for example.
  • the pedal can be made of a polymeric material. Such a pedal is light, so that the handling of a mop without foot lever is substantially maintained. In addition, it is advantageous that such a pedal is stainless. Moreover, the invention relates to a foot lever for a mop, as described above, wherein the foot lever is formed annular.

  • FIGS. 3 and 6 each show a detail of a cylindrical part which may be a component of the mop head 1 or a component of the handle 3.
  • annularly shaped foot lever 4 is shown, with an annularly formed tread surface 5 (FIGS. 1 to 3) or an annular ring 9 (FIGS. 4 to 6).
  • the tread surface 5 or the crown 9 of the foot lever 4 can be used by the user to wring the cleaning body 2 in a wringing or -vorides, this wringing process can either be done by the user, the cleaning body 2 by hand by means of the handle 3 and additionally wringing out by its foot force by means of the foot lever 4 or exclusively by its foot force by means of the foot lever 4, wherein the handle 3 is then guided only by hand.

  • a first embodiment of the mop invention is shown.
  • the annular foot lever 4 surrounds the stem 3 on the side facing the mop head 1 concentric.
  • the foot lever 4 comprises a guide cylinder 7, which can be fixed, for example, by means of the fastening means 6 shown in Fig. 3 on the stem 3.
  • the guide cylinder 7, however, can also be threaded and arranged to be movable in rotation and / or longitudinally displaceable on the stem 3 of the mop.
  • a second embodiment of a mop is shown, in which the foot lever 4 is assigned to the mop head 1 concentric.
  • the foot lever 4 is fastened to the mop head 1 with fastening means 6, as shown in FIG. 3, or is connected in a rotationally movable and / or longitudinally displaceable manner to the mop head 1.
