Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wischmopp und einen Fußhebel dafür.The invention relates to a mop and a pedal for it.
Der Wischmopp umfasst einen Moppkopf mit zumindest einem Reinigungskörper, wobei der Moppkopf mit einem Stiel verbunden ist. Der Reinigungskörper kann beispielsweise aus einer Vielzahl von Fransen bestehen.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.
Solche Wischmopps sind allgemein bekannt und gelangen zum Wischen von Böden zur Anwendung. Die vorbekannten Wischmopps werden beispielsweise zusammen mit Eimern eingesetzt, die zum Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers eine Auswringein- oder -vorrichtung aufweisen.
Zum Wischen der zu reinigenden Fläche wird dabei der Wischmopp mit dem am Moppkopf befestigten Reinigungskörper in im Eimer befindliche Flüssigkeit getaucht, sodass sich der Reinigungskörper vollsaugen kann. Um einen Überschuss an Flüssigkeit aus dem Reinigungskörper zu entfernen, wird dieser in die Auswringein- oder -vorrichtung gepresst, wobei die Effizienz des Vorgangs des Auswringens maßgeblich von der Kraft des Benutzers des Wischmopps abhängt, die dieser von Hand über den Stiel und den Wischkopf auf den Reinigungskörper ausübt.
Speziell zum Reinigen von empfindlichen Flächen ist häufig ein nur noch in sehr geringem Maße feuchter Reinigungskörper erforderlich. Speziell eher schwächere Menschen sind nur unter großer Anstrengung in der Lage, den Reinigungskörper möglichst weitgehend auszuwringen. Die Handhabung der vorbekannten Wischmopps ist auch für Menschen mit Arthrose und/oder Rückenbeschwerden mühevoll, da sie häufig nicht in der Lage sind, mit ihren Händen über den Stiel und den Moppkopf die nötige Kraft auf den Reinigungskörper aufzubringen, um diesen möglichst weitgehend auszuwringen.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.
For wiping the area to be cleaned while the mop is immersed with the cleaning body attached to the mop head in the bucket liquid, so that the cleaning body can soak. To remove excess liquid from the cleaning body, it is pressed into the wringer or device, the efficiency of the wringing process being largely determined by the user's force Wiping mop depends, which this exercises by hand on the stem and the mop head on the cleaning body.
Especially for cleaning sensitive surfaces is often required only to a very small extent moist cleaning body. Especially weaker people are only able to wrest the cleaning body as much as possible with great effort. The handling of the previously known mops is laborious for people with osteoarthritis and / or back problems, as they are often unable to apply with their hands on the stem and the mop head, the necessary force on the cleaning body to wring this as much as possible.

Zum Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers wird dieser zunächst mittels des Stiels in die glockenförmige Auswringvorrichtung gezogen, wobei dann bedarfsweise die zweite Hülse in Richtung der lippenförmigen Aufweitung bewegt wird, so dass dadurch der Durchmesser der Auswringvorrichtung reduziert wird, um den Reinigungskörper maximal auszuwringen.
Die Auswringvorrichtung mit der einstückig damit verbundenen ersten Hülse und dem ebenfalls einstückig damit verbundenen Kragen wird im Ruhezustand, wenn sie nicht in Funktion ist, durch radial innerhalb der ersten Hülse angeordnete Bremskörper reibungsbedingt am Stiel in ihrer Ruheposition gehalten.From the
To wring out the cleaning body, it is first pulled into the bell-shaped wringer by means of the handle, wherein then, if necessary, the second sleeve in the direction of the lip-shaped widening is moved, so that thereby the diameter of the wringer is reduced to wring the cleaning body maximum.
The wringer with the integrally connected first sleeve and the collar also integrally connected thereto is held in the rest position, when it is not in operation, by friction arranged radially within the first sleeve brake body on the stem in its rest position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wischmopp der eingangs genannten Art derart weiter zu entwickeln, dass dieser einfacher handhabbar ist, speziell, dass das Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers vereinfacht wird. Insbesondere Benutzer des Wischmopps mit wenig Kraft und / oder körperlichen Beschwerden sollen in der Lage sein, den Reinigungskörper mühelos auszuwringen.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 Complaints should be able to wring out the cleaning body effortlessly.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Wischmopp gemäß Anspruch 1 oder 2 gelöst. Auf eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung nehmen die darauf rückbezogenen Unteransprüche Bezug.This object is achieved with a mop according to
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Wischmopp vorgesehen, umfassend einen Moppkopf mit zumindest einem Reinigungskörper , wobei der Moppkopf mit einem Stiel verbunden ist, wobei der Moppkopf einen kreisringförmigen Fußhebel zum Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers in einer Auswringein- oder -vorrichtung aufweist und wobei der Fußhebel dem Moppkopf ortsfest und konzentrisch zugeordnet ist. Der Fußhebel weist eine Trittfläche mit einer Breite von 3 bis 5 cm auf oder einen Kranz, der den Stiel mit 3 bis 5 cm Abstand außenumfangsseitig umschließt. Eine solche Breite/ein solcher Abstand entspricht zumindest etwa der halben Breite eines ausgewachsenen menschlichen Fußes. Bevorzugt beträgt die Breite/der Abstand 4 cm. Bei einer Breite/einem Abstand von weniger als 3 cm besteht tendenziell die Gefahr, dass der Benutzer mit seinem Fuß, insbesondere dann, wenn die Trittfläche feucht und/oder mit glitschigem Reinigungsmittel benetzt ist, abrutscht. Ist die Breite/der Abstand demgegenüber größer als 5 cm, wird der Wischmopp unhandlich, da die Gefahr besteht, mit dem umfangsseitigen Rand des Fußhebels beim Wischen beispielsweise Möbel zu beschädigen.To solve the problem, a mop is provided, 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 -vorrichtung and wherein the foot lever is associated with the mop head stationary and concentric. The foot lever has a tread surface with a width of 3 to 5 cm or a wreath, which surrounds the stem with 3 to 5 cm distance on the outer peripheral side. Such a width / distance corresponds to at least about half the width of an adult human foot. Preferably, the width / distance is 4 cm. At a width / distance of 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.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe auch durch einen Wischmopp, umfassend einen Moppkopf mit zumindest einem Reinigungskörper, wobei der Moppkopf mit einem Stiel verbunden ist, wobei der Stiel einen kreisringförmigen Fußhebel zum Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers in einer Auswringein- oder -vorrichtung aufweist und wobei der Fußhebel den Stiel auf der dem Moppkopf zugewandten Seite ortsfest und konzentrisch umschließt. Der Fußhebel weist eine Trittfläche mit einer Breite von 3 bis 5 cm auf oder einen Kranz, der den Stiel mit 3 bis 5 cm Abstand außenumfangsseitig umschließt. Eine solche Breite/ein solcher Abstand entspricht zumindest etwa der halben Breite eines ausgewachsenen menschlichen Fußes. Bevorzugt beträgt die Breite/der Abstand 4 cm. Bei einer Breite/einem Abstand von weniger als 3 cm besteht tendenziell die Gefahr, dass der Benutzer mit seinem Fuß, insbesondere dann, wenn die Trittfläche feucht und/oder mit glitschigem Reinigungsmittel benetzt ist, abrutscht. Ist die Breite/der Abstand demgegenüber größer als 5 cm, wird der Wischmopp unhandlich, da die Gefahr besteht, mit dem umfangsseitigen Rand des Fußhebels beim Wischen beispielsweise Möbel zu beschädigen.This object is also achieved by a mop, comprising a mop head with at least one cleaning body, wherein the mop head is connected to a handle, wherein the handle has an annular foot lever for wringing of the cleaning body in a wringing or -vorrichtung and wherein the foot lever the stem on the side facing the mop head stationary and concentric encloses. The foot lever has a tread surface with a width of 3 to 5 cm or a wreath, which surrounds the stem with 3 to 5 cm distance on the outer peripheral side. Such a width / distance corresponds to at least about half the width of an adult human foot. Preferably, the width / distance is 4 cm. At a width / distance of 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 is greater than 5 cm, the mop is unwieldy, as the There is a risk of damaging furniture with the peripheral edge of the foot lever when wiping, for example.
Der kreisringförmige Fußhebel erlaubt dem Benutzer, zusätzlich zu der Kraft, die er von Hand über den Stiel auf den Moppkopf und damit auf den Reinigungskörper ausübt, mit einem seiner Füße Kraft auf den Reinigungskörper auszuüben, um dadurch ein verbessertes Auswring-Ergebnis zu erzielen. Die Kraft zum Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers kann der Benutzer dabei variabel zwischen Händen und Füßen aufteilen, wobei auch die Möglichkeit besteht, den Stiel des Wischmopps durch die Hand lediglich zu führen und die Kraft ausschließlich durch einen Fuß über den Fußhebel auf den Reinigungskörper auszuüben. Die kreisringförmige Gestalt des Fußhebels und dessen konzentrische Zuordnung zum Moppkopf oder seine konzentrische Anordnung auf der dem Moppkopf zugewandten Seite des Stiels ist von Vorteil, da ein solcher Fußhebel wahlweise problemlos mit dem linken oder dem rechten Fuß des Benutzers betätigt werden kann. Der Fußhebel befindet sich, unabhängig von der Neigung des Moppkopfs oder des Stiels, stets in einer optimalen Position/Zuordnung am Wischmopp, sodass es Justierungen des Fußhebels während der Benützung durch den Benutzer nicht bedarf; ein Pendeln des Fußhebels am Moppkopf oder Stiel in Richtung der Schwerkraft und eine dadurch bedingte, für den Benutzer ungünstige Stellung des Fußhebels wird durch die kreisringförmige Gestalt des Fußhebels zuverlässig ausgeschlossen.The annular foot lever allows the user, in addition to the force that he exerts by hand on the handle on the mop head and thus on the cleaning body to exert force on the cleaning body with one of his feet, thereby achieving an improved wringing result. The force to wring out the cleaning body, the user can divide variable between hands and feet, with the possibility also exists to guide the stem of the mop by hand only and exert 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.
Der Fußhebel ist derart gestaltet, dass eine ausreichend große Kraft durch den Fuß des Benutzers auch dann ausgeübt werden kann, wenn dieser beispielsweise feucht ist. Der Fußhebel kann beispielsweise eine erhöhte Oberflächenrauhigkeit, beispielsweise durch eine Profilierung, aufweisen, die verhindert, dass der Benutzer beim Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers mit seinem Fuß von dem Fußhebel abrutscht.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.
Es ist vorgesehen, dass sich der Fußhebel entweder auf der dem Moppkopf zugewandten Seite des Stiels befindet oder im oberen Bereich des Moppkopfs, also derart angeordnet ist, dass der Fußhebel mit einem Fuß leicht erreichbar ist. Durch die Anordnung des Fußhebels möglichst nahe an der dem Reinigungskörper zugewandten Seite des Wischmopps ist das Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers in einer Auswringein- oder -vorrichtung insofern unproblematisch, als die Kippgefahr eines mit der Auswringein- oder - vorrichtung versehenen Eimers durch die Krafteinleitung in unmittelbarer Nähe des Reinigungskörpers auf ein Minimum reduziert ist. Dadurch ist ein sicheres und dennoch effizientes Auswringen des Reinigungskörpers möglich.It is envisaged that 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 device is insofar unproblematic, as the risk of tipping provided with the wringing or - device bucket by the force in the immediate vicinity of Cleaning body is reduced to a minimum. As a result, a safe and yet efficient wringing out of the cleaning body is possible.
Der Fußhebel kann, bezogen auf den Moppkopf oder Stiel, separat herstellbar sein. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass der Fußhebel beispielsweise auch als separat hergestelltes Einzelteil in Verbindung mit unterschiedlich gestalteten Wischmopps zur Anwendung gelangen kann. Außerdem können Fußhebel in unterschiedlichen Abmessungen hergestellt werden, sodass ein auf den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall und/oder Benutzer abgestimmter Fußhebel am Wischmopp zur Anwendung gelangen kann. Eine gute Anpassung an die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten des Anwendungsfalles ist dadurch möglich.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.
Der Fußhebel kann mit Befestigungsmitteln am Moppkopf oder Stiel festgelegt sein. Die Befestigungsmittel können beispielsweise durch Schrauben oder eine Schnappverbindung gebildet sein.The foot lever 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.
Der Fußhebel kann eine kreisringförmige Trittfläche oder einen kreisringförmigen Kranz aufweisen. Bei einer kreisringförmigen Trittfläche ist die Aufstandsfläche für den Fuß größer, was hinsichtlich einer besonders einfachen Betätigung vorteilhaft ist. Der Kranz ist von Vorteil, weil sich hierauf keine Reinigungsflüssigkeit sammeln kann. Der Kranz ist deshalb stets besonders griffig.The foot lever may have an annular tread or an annular ring. In 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.
Der Fußhebel kann radial innenseitig einen hohlen Führungszylinder aufweisen, der von der Trittfläche oder dem Kranz außenumfangsseitig umschlossen und ortsfest damit verbunden ist.The foot lever may have radially inside a hollow guide cylinder, which is surrounded on the outer peripheral side of the tread surface or the rim and is stationary connected thereto.
Der Führungszylinder und die Trittfläche können kraft- und/oder formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sein. Der Führungszylinder und der Kranz können mittels zumindest zwei, bevorzugt zumindest drei sich in radialer Richtung erstreckender Speichen kraft- und/oder formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sein. Beispielsweise können der Führungszylinder und die Trittfläche oder der Kranz einstückig ineinander übergehend und materialeinheitlich hergestellt sein. Auch eine Verbindung der beiden Teile mittels Kleben und/oder Klemmen kann sich im Hinblick auf eine einfache und kostengünstige Fertigung des Fußhebels als vorteilhaft erweisen.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. For example, the guide cylinder and the tread or the rim can be integrally merging with each other and made of the same material. Also 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.
Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung kann der Fußhebel einstückig und materialeinheitlich mit dem Moppkopf oder dem Stiel ausgebildet sein. Der Fußhebel ist dadurch dem Moppkopf oder dem Stiel ortsfest und starr zugeordnet. Ist der Fußhebel beispielsweise einstückig und materialeinheitlich mit dem Moppkopf verbunden, können unterschiedliche Stiele - ohne Fußhebel - zur Anwendung gelangen und die vorteilhaften Gebrauchseigenschaften des Wischmopps durch den Fußhebel bleiben erhalten. Ist der Fußhebel demgegenüber einstückig und materialeinheitlich mit dem Stiel verbunden, kann dieser Stiel mit unterschiedlichen Moppköpfen verbunden werden, die jeweils keinen Fußhebel aufweisen.According to another embodiment, 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.
Der Fußhebel kann aus einem polymeren Werkstoff bestehen. Ein solcher Fußhebel ist leicht, sodass das Handling eines Wischmopps ohne Fußhebel im wesentlichen erhalten bleibt. Außerdem ist von Vorteil, dass ein solcher Fußhebel rostfrei ist.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.
Außerdem betrifft die Erfindung einen Fußhebel eines Wischmopps, wie zuvor beschrieben, wobei der Fußhebel kreisringförmig ausgebildet ist.Moreover, the invention relates to a pedal of a mop, as described above, wherein the pedal lever is formed annular.
