Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection system for stalk-guided handsets, especially for brooms, scrubbers and other cleaning equipment.
  • connection systems allow a detachable connection between a device head and a handle required for its leadership.
  • a detachable connection is often sought in order to be able to make a quick replacement in the event of a defect or excessive wear on the device head, without having to discard the entire device.
  • a handle may be sufficient for several cleaning devices, if not all of them should be used simultaneously. To solve a specific cleaning task can be done in such cases, an adaptation of the device used in that each of the appropriate device head is connected to the handle.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a connection system by means of which a quick and easy detachable attachment of a handset to a handle is possible.
  • the system should be characterized by a high level of reliability and durability, largely rule out operating errors and, if possible, be adaptable to existing systems.
  • connection system for stalk-guided handsets with the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments of a system according to the invention can be found in the dependent claims 2 to 15.
  • the invention uses the function of a toggle element, which lies between two legs of a mounting bracket and expands the mounting bracket.
  • the toggle element is fixed with a handle connected simultaneously serving the leadership of the handset in the ready state. To spread the mounting bracket thus no separate handle is required. Instead, it is sufficient to align the handle with respect to the mounting bracket so that it comes to the formation of the desired spreading and fastening action.
  • the attachment effect on the device head is caused by a change in distance of movable ends of the mounting bracket, which is done by changing the orientation of the toggle element with respect to the mounting bracket.
  • Core of the invention is a connection system for stalk-guided handsets, consisting of a device head, a mounting bracket with two resiliently connected legs, between the legs of a toggle element is arranged, the orientation and dimensioning determines the distance of the legs to each other, and a handle, wherein the device head has openings in which engage the ends of the legs of the mounting bracket, wherein the toggle element is firmly connected to the handle.
  • the invention can be used with advantage in hand-held devices whose head comprises the body of a broom, scrubber or other cleaning device.
  • the connection system according to the invention is particularly good suitable to meet the loads occurring on such devices and to allow a quick and easy device configuration in typical cleaning situations.
  • the mounting bracket has a nearly U-shaped area, which ensures the resilient connection of the two legs. In this way, a corresponding presetting of the desired elastic restoring forces by Wah1 the material thickness and the resilient length can be realized without much effort.
  • This also results in the advantageous possibility that the legs of the mounting bracket at least partially parallel in the contact area to the toggle element. This results in the splayed leg to a pure compressive force on the toggle element. Accordingly, courses of the legs of the mounting bracket, which differ in a non-functional impairment of a parallel course, in particular in a concave curvature of the legs in the contact area to the toggle element, to be regarded as having the same effect in relation to the invention.
  • the legs of the mounting bracket run at least partially divergent between the contact area to the toggle element and the device head.
  • a sufficiently large distance between the ends of the mounting bracket, which are to be brought into engagement with the corresponding openings of the device head realize. This is particularly useful for sufficient resistance of the connection to torsional and bending loads on the device head.
  • the shape of a standing at at least two points with the mounting bracket lateral surface determines the sliding behavior during actuation of the connection system according to the invention and the dependent on the orientation of the toggle elastic deformation of the mounting bracket in the region of its legs.
  • the toggle element has the shape of a cam disc fixedly connected to the handle and is arranged between two forked ends of the handle. Then there is a particularly stable guidance of the mounting bracket, which can be partially swiveled or fixed between the forked ends of the handle, without any restrictions on the geometry of the sliding behavior during the operation of the connection system according to the invention determining lateral surface.
  • the toggle element has its greatest extension transversely to the longitudinal axis of the handle. Then, when inserted into the openings of the head of the device ends of the mounting bracket alignment of the handle is transverse to the head, as is common in many stalk guided hands anyway to achieve the maximum spreading and thus the maximum strength of the inventive connection between the device head and handle.
  • a particularly comfortable handling of a hand-held device results when the toggle element has flattenings at the furthest apart regions of the lateral surface. These flattenings will then come into contact with the mounting bracket when a maximum spreading effect of the toggle element is to be achieved, which is the case in the ready state.
  • the flattenings ensure a stable position of the toggle element between the legs of the mounting bracket, which exert pressure on the toggle element by their elastic properties. In order to avoid accidental pivoting of the mounting bracket and an associated detachment of the device head from the handle, it is only necessary to make a securing fixation of the connecting bracket by suitable means.
  • the toggle element has an extension in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the handle, which prevents an elastic pressing of the ends of the mounting bracket against the walls of the openings in the device head when the handle is swiveled away.
  • the associated loose guidance of the ends of the mounting bracket in the openings of the device head facilitates a quick Removing or placing a corresponding device head, which also increases the ease of use.
  • the mounting bracket is in each pivot phase of the connection system according to the invention in firm contact with the toggle element, which prevents rattle leading relative movements between the handle and the mounting bracket.
  • This effect can be further supported by the fact that the contact surface to the mounting bracket rotates a groove, which contributes to an additional guidance of the mounting bracket.
  • the already mentioned fixation of the mounting bracket in the ready state of the handset can be realized, for example, if a sliding locking sleeve is included, which can be moved along the handle and is displaced to a position in which it partially surrounds the mounting bracket and pivotal movement between the handle and hand Mounting bracket prevents.
  • a backlash-free fixation results when the inner diameter of the locking sleeve corresponds to the maximum extent of the mounting bracket in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle at a location outside the pivot axis of the toggle element.
  • connection system is that by a corresponding design of the connection bracket a problem-free adaptation to already common systems of cleaning equipment is possible, which are already introduced on the basis of separate spatially movable toggle elements when the ends of the legs of the mounting bracket for a recording be adapted by existing in common systems openings.
  • An inventive handle with mounting bracket can thus find a use of existing device heads door use.
  • the legs of the mounting bracket are curved in the region of the toggle element so that the points of contact between the toggle element and the mounting bracket lie in a concave in the direction of the leg portion of the mounting bracket.
  • the toggle element acts centering and prevents slippage of the mounting bracket when other fixatives do not take effect, for example, during the change of a Device head when the handle is in the pivoted position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a broom equipped with a connection system according to the invention with a change-ready position of the handle.
  • the system comprises a device head 1 in the form of a broom (shown without bristles), a mounting bracket 2 with two resiliently connected legs 2 'and 2 "and a handle 3.
  • Fixed with the handle 3 is a toggle element 4 made of zinc diecast, which The axis ratio of the ellipse deviates significantly from 1: 1, which can be read off from the oblong shape of the ellipse, so that the toggle element 4 assumes the function of an elliptical cam fixedly connected to the handle 3.
  • the toggle element 4 is located between two forked ends 3 ', 3''of the handle 3.
  • the mounting bracket 2 is pivotable about the toggle element 4.
  • the mounting bracket 2 has a nearly U-shaped portion 2 "', which ensures the resilient connection of the two legs 2', 2". Through this resilient connection, the two legs 2 ', 2 "are always pressed against the toggle element 4, whereby the alignment and dimensioning of the toggle element 4 at the same time determines the distance of the legs 2', 2" to each other.
  • the legs 2 ', 2 "of the mounting bracket 2 have in the vicinity of the toggle element 4 a curvature, which leads to an embedding of the toggle element 4 between the legs 2', 2".
  • the legs 2 ', 2 "of the mounting bracket 2 in the region of the toggle element 4 are curved so that the points of contact between the toggle element 4 and the mounting bracket 2 in a in the direction of the legs 2', 2" concave portion of Mounting bracket 2 are.
  • the legs 2 ', 2 "of the stiffening bracket 2 in the contact area with the toggle element 4 are at least partially parallel, which in the present case is defined by the position of the tangent or tendons in the contact area.
  • the toggle element 4 acts centering and prevents slippage of the mounting bracket 2, if other fixatives do not come into effect, especially during the change of the broom body 1, when the handle 3 is in pivoted-alternately ready position.
  • the toggle element 4 has, in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the handle 3, an extension which prevents an elastic pressing of the ends of the mounting bracket 2 against the walls of the openings 5 ', 5' in the broom body 1 with the handle 3 swiveled away.
  • the broom body 1 has two openings 5 ', 5 ", in which the ends of the legs 2', 2" of the mounting bracket 2 engage.
  • the legs 2 ', 2 "of the mounting bracket 2 extend partially divergent between the contact area to the toggle element 4 and the broom head 1.
  • the ends of the legs 2', 2 "of the mounting bracket 2 are in turn angled at right angles, which allows the engaging behind an engageable surface.
  • Such a graspable surface is presently provided by the broom body 1, but may also be formed inside a device head within the openings 5 ', 5 " can be moved along the handle 3 can be moved to a position in which it releases the U-shaped part of the mounting bracket 2 and does not prevent pivotal movement between handle 3 and mounting bracket 2.
  • Figure 2 shows a structurally identical equipped with a connection system according to the invention bases with operational position of the stem.
  • the toggle element 1 has transversely to the longitudinal axis of the handle 3 its greatest extent.
