1 shows a device 1 for drying wipes and / or mop covers and / or mops and / or mop plates and / or wipers with a spinner 3. The spinner 3 has a receptacle 5 in the at least one wipe and / or a mop cover and / or a mop and / or a wiper device and / or a mop plate is insertable on. The receptacle 5 is formed as a bowl-shaped, rotatably mounted sieve 7. The receptacle 5 is arranged in a housing 9 and there rotatably mounted on a centrally disposed on the bottom 13 of the housing 9 mandrel 11. The housing 9 is placed on a container 15 in which a cleaning liquid 17 is located. The bottom 13 of the housing 9 is partially formed as a further sieve 19 by the centrifuged liquid 17 can flow into the container 15. In the container 15, a separation screen 21 is provided for retaining ejected-out dirt particles. The container 9 has a likewise formed as a sieve circumferential groove 45 for collecting and sorting out dirt particles. The device 1 has a cover 25 partially covering the housing 9 with an opening 27, through which a mop head 29 can be inserted into the screen 7 rotatably mounted about the rotation axis 23. The wiper head 29 is part of a wiper device 31, which has a handle 33 and a pivot 35. The pivot 35 allows rotation of the wiper head 29 about the central axis of the stem 33. For ease of insertion of the wiper head 29, an insertion shaft 37 is provided, which is supported by the cover 25.

The driving force for ejection is via the wiper device 31, in particular the handle 33 and on the spinner 3 is transferable. The wiper device 31 can be mechanically coupled to transfer the driving forces with the device 3 for drying. With the aid of a drive device 39, which is designed as a humming-circular drive 41, the user can set the wiping head 29 in rotation by moving the handle 33 up and down. The fringes 43 of the mop head 29 offset because they - not least by the centrifugal force - inside the rotatably mounted sieve 7, the sieve 7 also in rotation. The drive device 39 is arranged between the handle 33 and the mop head 29.

For rinsing or washing the wiper head 29, the front uncovered part 47 of the container 15 can be used.

Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of a wiper device 31 with a drive device 39 according to the invention. The wiper device 31 has a

Mop trained mop 29 on, with a variety of fringes

43 is stocked. The fringes 43 are arranged on a disc-shaped holder 49. The wiper device 31 has a handle 51, which has the spindle 53 of a

Spindle drive 55 carries. The spindle drive 55 comprises a relative to the stem 51 rotatably mounted spindle nut 57, with the spindle 53 for generating a

Rotary motion acts together. For this purpose, the user holds the wiper device 31 with one hand on a handle 59 which is rotatably mounted on the end of the handle 51 opposite the wiper head, fixed and moved with the other hand, the spindle nut 57 along the longitudinal extension of the handle 51 up and down, so that the stem 51 is rotated together with the mop head 29 in rotation. It is an unillustrated freewheel, which is a free turning of the

Stem 55 allows relative to the spindle nut 57 in one direction of rotation, so that the Stem 55 with the mop head 29 undergoes a driving force when the spindle nut 57 is moved in one direction while no forces are transmitted to stem 51 and the mop head 29 during the movement of the spindle nut 57 in the other direction. The wiper device has a further handle 61, which can be used when wiping. The fringes 43 are made of strips of non-woven fabric, but they may also be formed of fibers, yarns or the like. It is also possible that the wiper device is equipped with a flat wiper, for example with folding wiper plates, instead of with a mop as a mop head. Fig. 3 shows the spindle drive 55 of the wiper device shown in Fig. 2 in detail. The thread of the spindle 53 is equipped as a multi-movement thread with a very high pitch, preferably in the range of 0.5 cm to 10 cm per revolution, in particular 1 cm to 2 cm per revolution, so that by the linear movement of the spindle nut 57, the speed of the spindle 53 us thus the wiping head 29 is correspondingly high in order to eject dirt particles and moisture from the mop head 29.

4 shows a further embodiment of a wiper device 31 with a drive device 39 according to the invention. This wiper device 31 also has a drive device 39 designed as a spindle drive 55. The wiper head 29 is rotatably mounted on a spindle 53, while on the stem 51 - coaxial with this - rotatably a spindle nut 57 is arranged. Above the wiper head, a rotary sleeve 63 is rotatably mounted relative to the spindle 53 about its longitudinal axis. For ejecting the wiper head 29, the wiper device 31 is suspended in a device for drying such that the rotary sleeve 63 of the wiper device 31 rests on a support - for example, a part of an insertion shaft - supporting the wiper device. The mop head is thereby suspended relative to the rotary sleeve 63 and thus rotatable relative to the support and, for example, in a - preferably having a rotatable sieve - container protrude. By pushing down the stem 55 toward the rotary sleeve 63, the spindle 53 rotatably moves into the spindle nut 57, so that the mop head 29 connected to the spindle 53 is set in rotation. The spindle drive 55 has a freewheel, not shown, which allows largely without force on the mop head 29, the stem 51 together with the spindle nut - preferably with spring force - in the opposite direction - ie away from the rotary sleeve 63 - to move. Subsequently, the wiper head 29 can be further accelerated by cyclic repetition of this process.

Fig. 5 shows the spindle drive 55 of the wiper device shown in Fig. 4 in detail.

6 shows a further embodiment of a wiper device 31 with a drive device 39 according to the invention. The wiper device 31 has a handle 51 on which a spindle nut 57 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner. The wiping head 29, which is designed as a flat wiping head 65, is connected to a spindle 53 via a universal joint 67, which allows a more comfortable wiping. In order to enable interchangeability of the mop head, a screw connection 71 is provided between the spindle mount 69 and the mop head 29. Above the wiper head, a rotary sleeve 63 is rotatably mounted relative to the spindle 53 about its longitudinal axis. Analogous to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 4, the rotary sleeve serves to couple the wiper device 31 with a device 1 for drying. Similarly, the wiper head 29 can be rotated by moving the handle 51 in the direction of the rotary sleeve 63 in rotation. When the handle 51 is pressed down, the spring 73 is compressed, which pushes the handle 51 together with the spindle nut 57 back into the starting position as soon as the user allows this movement after the spin head 29 has been rotationally accelerated. In this embodiment, a freewheel, not shown, which allows independent of the rotational movement of the stem 51 to the starting position is provided.

The mop head 29 has a hinged wiper plate 75 with two plate wings 77. In the working position shown, the plate wings 77 are in a common plane and clamping a attached to them - not shown - mop cover. With a release device 79 - a foot pedal in this embodiment - the lock can be solved, whereby the plate wings 77 and mop cover for performing a discharge process free hang down.

In order to lock the spindle drive 55 during the wiping process - a rotation of the wiper head 29 relative to the handle 51 is very disturbing during wiping - a locking device 81 is provided. The locking device 81 has a relative to the longitudinal extent of the handle 51 slidably mounted bell 83, which is provided at its lower edge with locking lugs. The bell 83 is rotationally fixed and arranged coaxially with the stem 51. The detents engage in the locking position in recesses of the spindle attachment 69 and thereby connect the mop head 29 and the handle 51 rotatably. The bell 83 is held in the locked position by the weight force. To achieve the release position for the Ausschleudervorgang we the bell 83 of the mop head 29 away along the stem 51 shifted until the connection of the locking lugs is released to the recesses. To move the bell, a support step is provided on the device 1 for drying, which automatically displaces the bell 83 during insertion of the wiper device 31, thereby producing the release position. After removal of the wiper device 31 from the device 1 for drying, the bell automatically falls into the locking position, so that the handle 51 is then locked against rotation relative to the mop head 29. FIG. 7 shows in a section the end region of the wiper device 31 shown in FIG. 2 in a perspective view.

Fig. 8 shows the - particularly compact - spindle drive 55 of another wiper device 31 in an exploded view. In this illustration, the recess 85 of the spindle attachment 69, in which engages the - not to be seen - latching nose of the bell 83 in the wiping position.

9 shows a device 1 according to the invention for drying a wiper head 29. The device has a container 15 which carries a centrifugal device 3. The centrifugal device 3 has a support 87 into which a wiper device 29 can be suspended in the apparatus 1 for drying out a wiping head 29 such that the rotary sleeve 63 of the wiper device 31 is mounted on a, for example, a part of an insertion shaft. the wiper device rests supportingly and the wiping head is thus suspended relative to the rotary sleeve 63 and thus relative to the bearing 87 rotatably. The mop head in this case in a receptacle 5, which is designed as a rotatably mounted sieve. The support 87 has a first support step 89 for the rotary sleeve 63 of a wiper device (see, for example, FIGS. 4, 5 and 6) and a second support step 91 for the bell 83 of a wiper device (see, for example, FIGS. 4, 5 and 6). When attaching the wiper device 31 in the support 87, the bell 83 comes to lie on the second support step 91 and is thereby moved relative to the handle up and repealed the handle-mopping rotary locking. When removing the wiper, the bell 83 falls down and restores the twist lock.

Fig. 10 shows the device 1 shown in Fig. 9 for drying in a sectional view. The screen 7 is rotatably mounted on a mandrel and is driven in rotation by the rotating mop head of the mop. Of course, it can also be provided that the screen is driven directly by a drive device. The illustrated device 1 for drying is particularly suitable for drying flat wipers provided with a mop cover, in particular with folding mop wings. FIG. 11 shows another device 1 for drying a mop head 29, which has a three-arm support 87 each with a first support step 89 for the rotary sleeve 63 of a wiper device (see eg FIGS. 4, 5 and 6) and a second support step 91 for the bell 83 a wiper device (see, for example, Fig.4, 5 and 6). The illustrated device 1 for drying is particularly well suited for drying mop heads in the form of a mop - for example, a strip mop - suitable.
