Definitions
- the invention relates to a cleaning device for the weather exposed surfaces such as roofs, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such cleaning devices are known from various proprietary rights.
- the development has always been there to make cleaning devices from the highest possible possible copper, ie as pure as possible copper and to provide as protective as possible copper surface, so that the copper can react with natural moisture, as for example in the WO 2005/071181 and WO 2004/018 794 is described.
- the adapted to the particular roof tile form copper sheet plate was even attached with fixing means made of copper to the roof to the reaction surface of the cleaning device, ie the copper surface of the respective plate to increase.
- Further measures to increase the copper surface involved multilayer laminations of copper sheet on the base copper plate of the cleaning device, as in EP 1 389 659 B1 described.
- EP 1 389 659 B1 discloses a cleaning device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the gap is too thin to achieve a flow, because the water in the gap generates such a dynamic pressure that the following water flows over the outer of the two copper layers.
- FIG. 1 Another roof cleaning device is in the US 3,566,832 which comprises a housing in which a chemical is housed, for example a metal oxide, or a bleaching agent, which gradually dissolves under the influence of moisture and exits through the perforation of the housing.

- the reaction material as well as the sulfur material is contained in the cleaning device so that it is released gradually over time, i. that the cleaning effect over a period of years or decades is achieved, so that the reaction material and the sulfur material is not immediately washed out by acting moisture completely, but only in tracks, but is continuously released under the influence of moisture.
- the sulfur material may also be such that it reacts with the reaction material to form a sulfide compound, since sulfide compounds convert into sulfate compounds under the influence of moisture.
- a cleaning device could have multiple layers of copper or zinc sheet, between which the sulfur material is arranged.
- the sulfur material could, for example, consist of a pulverized, sulfur-containing mineral or elemental sulfur, which is connected by means of a binder to a layer, which can be arranged in each case between two of the sheets. It may be sufficient if at the edges of the sheets, the moisture acts on the filled with the sulfur material columns to wash out enough sulfur material and reaction material from the cleaning device to achieve the roof cleaning effect.
- the sulfur material layer water-permeable with suitable measures, for example by the sulfur material is sintered with a suitable binder, so that the moisture can penetrate into the sinter pores of the sulfur material layer.
- the gap with the sulfur material It would also be conceivable to foam the gap with the sulfur material. Furthermore, it would be conceivable not to fill the entire gap between the copper layers, but to release channels into which the moisture can penetrate, so as to increase the moisture wettable surface. Furthermore, it would be conceivable to provide the copper sheets and / or the sulfur material layer with holes or a perforation, so that the moisture can wet the layer of sulfur material on a larger surface. It would also be conceivable, the sulfur material as a container, knitted fabric, braid or the like. to introduce between the copper sheets, so that water can run between the sulfur material threads, or such a nonwoven, container, knitted fabric, braid or the like. from a preferably absorbent carrier material or from the reaction material and with a paste, a varnish or the like. which is sulfur-containing.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Reinigungsvorrichtung für dem Wetter ausgesetzte Oberflächen wie beispielsweise Dächer, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cleaning device for the weather exposed surfaces such as roofs, according to the preamble of
Derartige Reinigungsvorrichtungen sind aus verschiedenen eigenen Schutzrechten bekannt. Dabei ging die Entwicklung bisher immer dahin, Reinigungsvorrichtungen aus möglichst hochwertigem Kupfer, d.h. möglichst reinem Kupfer herzustellen und für eine möglichst schutzschichtfreie Kupferoberfläche zu sorgen, damit das Kupfer mit natürlicher Feuchtigkeit reagieren kann, wie dies beispielsweise in der
Während bei diesen Dachreinigungsvorrichtungen unter den meisten Umweltbedingungen ein im Verhältnis zum jeweiligen Preisleistungsverhältnis zufrieden stellendes Resultat hinsichtlich der Dachreinigung zuverlässig und über lange Zeit erzielt wird, sind in letzter Zeit auch Entwicklungen bekannt geworden, deren Effekt begrenzt war, z.B. ein spannungsunterstütztes Dachreinigungssystem gemäß
Eine weitere Dachreinigungsvorrichtung ist in der
Ausgehend von dem vorstehend genannten eigenen Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Reinigungsvorrichtung für der Witterung ausgesetzte Flächen; wie beispielsweise Dächer zu schaffen, mit der die erzielbare Reinigungswirkung unabhängiger von den Umweltbedingungen an dem jeweiligen Einsatzort der Reinigungsvorrichtung wirkt.Based on the aforementioned prior art, it is an object of the present invention, a cleaning device exposed to the weather surfaces; such as to create roofs with which the achievable cleaning effect acts more independent of the environmental conditions at the respective site of use of the cleaning device.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of
Erfindungsgemäß enthält die Reinigungsvorrichtung dabei nicht nur ein Reaktionsmaterial, welches im Zusammenwirken mit natürlicher Feuchte einen fungiziden bzw. antibakteriellen und schmutzentfernenden Effekt hat, sondern ferner ein Schwefelmaterial, mit dem das Reaktionsmaterial zu einer Sulfatverbindung, beispielsweise einem Metallsulfat oder - sulfid reagieren kann.According to the invention, the cleaning device contains not only a reaction material which, in interaction with natural moisture, has a fungicidal or antibacterial and soil-removing effect, but also a Sulfur material with which the reaction material can react to form a sulfate compound, for example a metal sulfate or sulfide.
Denn, wie der Erfinder erkannt hat, beruht die antibakterielle, fungizide und schmutzentfernende Wirkung von Reaktionsmaterialien der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschriebenen Art darauf, dass in natürlicher Feuchte heutzutage aufgrund der Luftverschmutzung und ähnlichem Schwefel enthalten ist - wie aus der öffentlichen Diskussion zum Thema saurem Regen hinlänglich bekannt- und dieser Schwefel in Form einer sauren Lösung vorliegt, welche Reaktionsmaterialien der gattungsgemäßen Art wie beispielsweise Kupfer, Zink odgl. angreift und mit ihnen zu Kupfersulfat reagiert, welches ein hochgiftiges Pflanzengift, Bakterizid und Fungizid ist.For, as the inventor has recognized, the antibacterial, fungicidal and soil-removing action of reaction materials of the type described in the preamble of
In Gegenden, in denen die natürliche Feuchte aber einen geringeren Schwefelgehalt aufweist, wie beispielsweise in küstennahen Bereichen, kommt die die Dachreinigung auslösende Reaktion bei klassischen Dachreinigungsvorrichtungen der eingangs beschriebenen Art daher nur schleppend in Gang und bleibt hinsichtlich ihrer Reinigungskraft hinter den gesteckten Zielen zurück. Da die Reinigungsvorrichtung auf erfindungsgemäße Weise zusätzlich ein Schwefelmaterial abgibt, welches mit dem Reaktionsmaterial zu einer Sulfatverbindung bzw. zu einem Metallsulfat reagieren kann, gelingt es jedoch, auch in solchen Gegenden für eine hinsichtliche Reinigungskraft und Reinigungsdauer ausreichende Dachreinigung zu sorgen. Auch in Gegenden mit hoher Schwefelbelastung im Niederschlag führt der Eigenschwefel der Reinigungsvorrichtung auf vorteilhafte Weise zu einer schnelleren und nachhaltigeren Dachreinigung. Darüber hinaus macht der Eigenschwefelanteil die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsvorrichtung auch in Gegenden einsetzbar, in denen nur sehr begrenzt Niederschläge fallen und daher die natürli-, che Feuchte optimal für die Dachreinigung ausgenutzt werden muss.In areas where the natural moisture but has a lower sulfur content, such as in coastal areas, the roof cleaning triggering reaction comes in classic roof cleaning devices of the type described above, therefore slow to get going and remains behind in terms of their cleaning power behind the set goals. Since the cleaning device additionally emits a sulfur material in the manner according to the invention, which can react with the reaction material to form a sulfate compound or a metal sulfate, it is possible to provide sufficient roof cleaning even in such areas for an appropriate cleaning power and duration of cleaning. Even in areas with high sulfur pollution in the precipitation of the natural sulfur of the cleaning device advantageously leads to a faster and more sustainable roof cleaning. In addition, the self-sulfur content makes the cleaning device according to the invention can also be used in areas where fall only very limited rainfall and therefore the natural, che moisture must be optimally utilized for the roof cleaning.
Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass neben oder alternativ zu dem Schwefelmaterial im Rahmen der Erfindung auch jedwedes weitere Zusatzmaterial eingesetzt werden kann, welches unter Feuchtigkeitseinfluss mit dem Reaktionsmaterial der gattungsgemäßen Art, also beispielsweise einem Kupfer- und/oder Zinkmaterial oberflächenreinigende Verbindungen bildet, also ein Fungizid, Bakterizid, Pflanzengift, eine Säure oder Lauge.It should be noted that in addition to or as an alternative to the sulfur material within the scope of the invention, any further additional material can be used, which under the influence of moisture with the reaction material of the generic type, so for example a copper and / or zinc material forms surface-cleaning compounds, so a fungicide, bactericide, plant poison, an acid or alkali.
Das Reaktionsmaterial ebenso wie das Schwefelmaterial ist dabei so in der Reinigungsvorrichtung enthalten, dass es im Lauf der Zeit nach und nach abgegeben wird, d.h. dass die Reinigungswirkung über einen jahre- bzw. jahrzehntelangen Zeitraum erzielt wird, also so, dass das Reaktionsmaterial und das Schwefelmaterial durch einwirkende Feuchte nicht sofort vollständig ausgewaschen wird, sondern lediglich in Spuren, dafür aber unter Feuchtigkeitseinfluss kontinuierlich abgegeben wird. Das Schwefelmaterial kann dabei auch so beschaffen sein, dass es mit dem Reaktionsmaterial zu einer Sulfidverbindung reagiert, da sich Sulfidverbindungen unter Feuchtigkeitseinfluss in Sulfatverbindungen umwandeln.The reaction material as well as the sulfur material is contained in the cleaning device so that it is released gradually over time, i. that the cleaning effect over a period of years or decades is achieved, so that the reaction material and the sulfur material is not immediately washed out by acting moisture completely, but only in tracks, but is continuously released under the influence of moisture. The sulfur material may also be such that it reacts with the reaction material to form a sulfide compound, since sulfide compounds convert into sulfate compounds under the influence of moisture.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind dabei Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Dabei lassen sich im Rahmen der Erfindung alle beanspruchten Merkmale in jedweder sinnvoll erscheinenden Kombination verwenden.Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims. In the context of the invention, it is possible to use all claimed features in any seemingly meaningful combination.
Beim Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsvorrichtung sowie bei der Auswahl des Reaktionsmaterials und des Schwefelmaterials, seinem Aggregatzustand sowie seinem Vorliegen in elementarer Form, als Verbindung oder als Stoffgemisch kann dabei im Rahmen der Erfindung variiert werden, so lange die oben stehend beschriebenen Wirkungen erzielt werden.In the construction of the cleaning device according to the invention and in the selection of the reaction material and the sulfur material, its physical state and its presence in elemental form, as a compound or as a mixture can be varied within the scope of the invention, as long as the effects described above are achieved.
So könnte beispielsweise eine Reinigungsvorrichtung mehrere Lagen Kupfer- oder Zinkblech aufweisen, zwischen denen das Schwefelmaterial angeordnet ist. In diesem Fall könnte das Schwefelmaterial beispielsweise aus einem pulverisierten, schwefelhaltigen Mineral oder elementarem Schwefel bestehen, welches mit Hilfe eines Bindemittels zu einer Lage verbunden ist, die jeweils zwischen zwei der Bleche angeordnet sein kann. Dabei kann es ausreichen, wenn an den Rändern der Bleche die Feuchtigkeit an den mit dem Schwefelmaterial ausgefüllten Spalten angreift, um genügend Schwefelmaterial und Reaktionsmaterial aus der Reinigungsvorrichtung herauszuwaschen, um die Dachreinigungswirkung zu erzielen. Es wäre aber ebenso denkbar, die Schwefelmateriallage mit geeigneten Maßnahmen wasserduchlässig zu machen, beispielsweise indem das Schwefelmaterial mit einem geeigneten Bindemittel gesintert wird, so dass die Feuchtigkeit in die Sinterporen der Schwefelmateriallage eindringen kann. Ebenso wäre es denkbar, den Spalt mit dem Schwefelmaterial auszuschäumen. Ferner wäre es denkbar, nicht den gesamten Spalt zwischen den Kupferlagen auszufüllen, sondern Kanäle freizulassen, in die die Feuchtigkeit eindringen kann, um so die von der Feuchtigkeit benetzbare Oberfläche zu vergrößern. Ferner wäre es denkbar, die Kupferbleche und/oder die Schwefelmateriallage mit Löchern bzw. einer Perforierung zu versehen, so dass die Feuchtigkeit die Schwefelmateriallage an einer größeren Oberfläche benetzen kann. Ebenso denkbar wäre es, das Schwefelmaterial als Gebinde, Gewirke, Geflecht odgl. zwischen die Kupferbleche einzubringen, so dass Wasser zwischen den Schwefelmaterialfäden hindurch laufen kann, oder ein solches Vlies, Gebinde, Gewirke, Geflecht odgl. aus einem vorzugsweise saugfähigenTrägermaterial oder aus dem Reaktionsmaterial herzustellen und mit einer Paste, einem Lack odgl. einzulassen, welche schwefelmaterialhaltig ist.For example, a cleaning device could have multiple layers of copper or zinc sheet, between which the sulfur material is arranged. In this case, the sulfur material could, for example, consist of a pulverized, sulfur-containing mineral or elemental sulfur, which is connected by means of a binder to a layer, which can be arranged in each case between two of the sheets. It may be sufficient if at the edges of the sheets, the moisture acts on the filled with the sulfur material columns to wash out enough sulfur material and reaction material from the cleaning device to achieve the roof cleaning effect. However, it would also be conceivable to make the sulfur material layer water-permeable with suitable measures, for example by the sulfur material is sintered with a suitable binder, so that the moisture can penetrate into the sinter pores of the sulfur material layer. It would also be conceivable to foam the gap with the sulfur material. Furthermore, it would be conceivable not to fill the entire gap between the copper layers, but to release channels into which the moisture can penetrate, so as to increase the moisture wettable surface. Furthermore, it would be conceivable to provide the copper sheets and / or the sulfur material layer with holes or a perforation, so that the moisture can wet the layer of sulfur material on a larger surface. It would also be conceivable, the sulfur material as a container, knitted fabric, braid or the like. to introduce between the copper sheets, so that water can run between the sulfur material threads, or such a nonwoven, container, knitted fabric, braid or the like. from a preferably absorbent carrier material or from the reaction material and with a paste, a varnish or the like. which is sulfur-containing.
Weiterhin wäre es beispielsweise denkbar, die Reinigungsvorrichtung ganz als Gebinde, Gewirke, Geflecht odgl. aus Reaktionsmaterialfäden, beispielsweise Kupferfäden odgl. und einer darauf aufgetragenen Paste, Lack odgl. aus dem Schwefelmaterial herzustellen. Das mit der Paste versehene Gebinde, Gewirke, Geflecht odgl. könnte dabei auch in einem Gehäuse untergebracht sein, welches wiederum aus einem Trägermaterial, dem Reaktionsmaterial oder dem Schwefelmaterial bestehen kann.Furthermore, it would be conceivable, for example, the cleaning device completely as a container, knitted fabric, braid or the like. of reaction material filaments, for example copper filaments or the like and a paste applied thereto, lacquer or the like. to produce from the sulfur material. The provided with the paste container, knitted fabric, braid or the like. could also be housed in a housing, which in turn may consist of a carrier material, the reaction material or the sulfur material.
Weiterhin wäre es denkbar, ein Gehäuse aus dem Reaktionsmaterial, also beispielsweise aus mit einer geeigneten Perforierung versehenen Kupferblechen herzustellen, welches mit dem Schwefelmaterial in Form von kristallinen oder mineralischen Brocken gefüllt ist.Furthermore, it would be conceivable to produce a housing from the reaction material, that is to say, for example, from copper sheets provided with a suitable perforation, which is filled with the sulfur material in the form of crystalline or mineral chunks.
Darüber hinaus könnte die Reinigungsvorrichtung auch aus einem Materialträger bestehen, welcher gleichzeitig das Schwefelmaterial und das Reaktionsmaterial enthält. So könnte beispielsweise ein Blech aus einer Kupfer- Schwefellegierung oder einer Legierung, welche neben anderen Bestandteilen Kupfer- und/oder Zinkanteile und Schwefelmaterial enthält, auf dem Dach angebracht werden. Genauso gut könnte dieses Blech aber auch verwendet werden, um das Gehäuse, welches mit dem Schwefelmaterial gefüllt ist, herzustellen, oder die Blechlagen, zwischen denen das Schwefelmaterial angeordnet ist. In einem solchen Gehäuse, bzw. zwischen solchen Blechen kann dabei nicht nur Schwefelmaterial angeordnet sein, sondern zusätzlich ebenso Kupfermaterial bzw. ein sowohl Schwefel- als auch Reaktionsmaterial enthaltendes Material, wie beispielsweise ein schwefelhaltiges Kupfererz in gemahlener und mit Bindemittel versehener Form, Metall- bzw. Kupfer- oder Zinkspäne und Schwefelpulver in Bindemittel eingelassen bzw. miteinander verklebt oder gesintert, ein mit einem schwefelhaltigen Überzug versehenes Kupfergestrick, Gewölle odgl. etc.. Ebenso wäre es denkbar, eine Aufnahme aus einem nicht reaktiven Trägermaterial, also ein Gehäuse oder zwei Bleche zwischen denen eine Lage Material angeordnet werden kann, vorzusehen, welche mit einem Material gefüllt ist, welches sowohl Reaktionsmetall bzw. Kupfer als auch Schwefelmaterial enthält. So könnte beispielsweise in einem Kunststoffgehäuse, welches auf geeignete Art perforiert ist, ein zum Auswaschen geeignet zerkleinertes, schwefelhaltiges Kupfererz eingebracht sein. Weiterhin wäre es denkbar, zwischen zwei geeignet perforierten Kunststofffolien beispielsweise einen Sinterkörper einzubringen, in den schwefelhaltige und kupferhaltige Materialanteile eingesintert sind.In addition, the cleaning device could also consist of a material carrier which simultaneously contains the sulfur material and the reaction material. For example, a sheet of a copper-sulfur alloy or an alloy containing, among other components, copper and / or zinc components and sulfur material could be mounted on the roof. But just as well, this sheet could be used to make the case, which is filled with the sulfur material, or the sheet metal layers, between which the sulfur material is arranged. In such a housing, or between such sheets not only sulfur material may be arranged, but in addition also copper material or a both sulfur and reaction material containing material, such as a sulfur-containing copper ore in ground and provided with binder form, metal or Copper or zinc shavings and sulfur powder embedded in binder or glued or sintered together, one provided with a sulfur-containing coating copper knitted fabric, or the like. It would also be conceivable to provide a receptacle made of a non-reactive carrier material, that is to say a housing or two metal sheets between which a layer of material can be arranged, which is filled with a material which contains both reaction metal or copper and also sulfur material , Thus, for example, in a plastic housing, which is perforated in a suitable manner, a comminuted suitable for washing, sulfur-containing copper ore may be introduced. Furthermore, it would be conceivable to introduce, for example, a sintered body between two suitably perforated plastic films, in which sulfur-containing and copper-containing proportions of material are sintered.
Ebenfalls wäre es denkbar, die Reinigungsvorrichtung aus einem Kupferblech herzustellen, in welchem Schwefelverunreinigungen eingeschlossen sind.It would also be conceivable to produce the cleaning device from a copper sheet, in which sulfur impurities are trapped.
Bevorzugt ist dabei eine Reinigungsvorrichtung, die insgesamt mindestens 0,6 Gewichtsprozent Schwefel enthält. Versuche haben ab dieser Schwelle Resultate gezeigt. Die Reinigungswirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsvorrichtung setzt jedoch dann besonders schnell ein, wenn der Schwefelgehalt auf über 5 Gewichtsprozent gesteigert wird, beispielsweise über 25 Gewichtsprozent.Preference is given to a cleaning device which contains a total of at least 0.6 weight percent sulfur. Experiments have shown results from this threshold. However, the cleaning effect of the cleaning device according to the invention is particularly rapid when the sulfur content is increased to more than 5 percent by weight, for example over 25 percent by weight.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform könnte die Reinigungsvorrichtung mit einer Berieselungsanlage versehen sein, mit welcher der bzw. die auf dem Dach angebrachten Körper mit einer Flüssigkeit berieselt werden können. Die Reinigungsvorrichtung wird auf diese Weise noch stärker vom Wetter unabhängig, so dass die Reinigungswirkung auch während langer Trockenperioden und/oder in Gegenden mit trockenem Klima erzielt werden können. In diesem Zusammenhang könnte das Schwefelmaterial zumindest zum Teil auch in flüssigem Aggregatszustand vorliegen, beispielsweise als schwefelhaltige Lösung in einem Tank, welche mit der Berieselungsanlage auf den bzw. die auf dem Dach angebrachten Körper aufgebracht werden, also beispielsweise auf dort angebrachte Platten aus Kupferblech. Ebenso wäre es denkbar, eine reaktionsmaterial- und schwefelhaltige Lösung auf die auf dem Dach angebrachten Körper auszurieseln, wobei die auf dem Dach angebrachten Körper nicht nur Reaktionsmaterial enthalten können, sondern auch Schwefelmaterial, wie beispielsweise in den weiter oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen. Unter Umständen wäre es sogar möglich, eine schwefel- und/oder schwefel- kupferhaltige Lösung in einen Sinterkörper einzuspritzen oder den Sinterkörper mit einem schwefelhaltigen Gas zu begasen, bevor er zum Teil einer auf dem Dach bzw. der dem Wetter ausgesetzten Oberfläche angebrachten Reinigungsvorrichtung gemacht wird.In a further advantageous embodiment, the cleaning device could be provided with a sprinkler, with which the or mounted on the roof body can be sprinkled with a liquid. The cleaning device becomes even more independent of the weather in this way, so that the cleaning effect can be achieved even during long periods of drought and / or in areas with a dry climate. In this context At least some of the sulfur material could also be present in a liquid state, for example as a sulfur-containing solution in a tank, which is applied with the sprinkler to the body (s) mounted on the roof, such as plates made of sheet copper. It would also be conceivable to throw out a solution containing reaction material and sulfur onto the body mounted on the roof, wherein the bodies mounted on the roof can contain not only reaction material but also sulfur material, as for example in the embodiments described above. Under certain circumstances, it would even be possible to inject a solution containing sulfur and / or sulfur copper into a sintered body or to gas the sintered body with a sulfur-containing gas before it is made part of a cleaning device mounted on the roof or the surface exposed to the weather ,
Dabei versteht es sich von selbst, dass die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsvorrichtung als Dachfirstelement zum Anbringen auf einem Dachfirst, als Dachziegelelement zum Anbringen aus einem Dachziegel, sowie aus einer Mehrzahl dieser Elemente, einer optionalen Berieselungsanlage dafür sowie einem optionalen Tank bestehen kann. Ebenfalls wäre es denkbar, dass die Reinigungsvorrichtung aus Reinigungselementen besteht, die aus einem unterschiedlichen Material bestehen. So könnte beispielsweise in Schuppenlage nebeneinander quer über ein Dach abwechseln eine Lage Kupferblech und eine Lage eines Schwefelmaterialträgers angeordnet sein.It goes without saying that the cleaning device according to the invention as Dachfirstelement for attachment to a roof ridge, as a tile element for attachment from a roof tile, as well as a plurality of these elements, an optional sprinkler for it and an optional tank can exist. It would also be conceivable that the cleaning device consists of cleaning elements, which consist of a different material. For example, a layer of copper sheet and a layer of a sulfur material carrier could be arranged alternately in a shingled position next to one another across a roof.
Die mit den aus den Schutzrechten des Erfinders bekannten Reinigungsvorrichtungen erzielbaren Vorteile lassen sich dabei weiter verbessern, wenn diese prinzipiell bekannten Reinigungsvorrichtungen mit dem Schwefelmaterial bzw. dem Schwefelmaterialträger ausgestattet werden.The advantages that can be achieved with the cleaning devices known from the inventions of the inventor can be further improved if these cleaning devices, which are known in principle, are equipped with the sulfur material or the sulfur material carrier.
