Description

WISCHGERAT MIT ZWEI GEGENEINANDER KLAPPBARE WISCHFLÜGEL WIPER UNIT WITH TWO OPPOSABLE FLIP WIPERS
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wischgerät mit einer Wischerplatte, die zwei gegeneinander klappbare Wischflügel aus einem ersten Material aufweist, und mit relativ zu den Wischflügeln beweglich angeordneten Pressarmen zum Gegeneinaderklappen der Wischflügel.The invention relates to a wiper device with a wiper plate, which has two mutually folding squeegee of a first material, and with relative to the squeegee blades movably arranged press arms for Gegeneinaderklappen the squeegee.
Aus DE 100 58 630 C1 ist ein Bodenwischer mit zwei gelenkig mit einem gemeinsamen Mittelstück verbundenen Trägerplatten bekannt. Die Trägerplatten tragen einen saugfähigen Wischbezug und sind mit einem Auspressschieber, der zwei starre Auspressarme aufweist, über eine aufwändige Rollenkonstruktion zum Zusammenklappen - und damit zum Auspressen und Trocknen - der Trägerplatten in Eingriff bringbar.From DE 100 58 630 C1, a floor wiper with two hingedly connected to a common center support plates is known. The carrier plates carry an absorbent mop cover and can be brought into engagement with a squeezing slide, which has two rigid squeezing arms, via an elaborate reel construction for folding - and thus for squeezing and drying - the carrier plates.
Auch aus US 3,224,025 ist ein Wischgerät mit einer aufwendigen Rollenkonstruktion zum Zusammenklappen der Wischplatten mit Hilfe einer Pressgabel bekannt. Aus EP 1 208 788 A1 ist ein Feuchtwischer für plane Flächen mit zwei unter Zwischenschaltung eines Doppelgelenkes verbundenen gegeneinander pressbaren Wischflügel bekannt. Der Feuchtwischer weist einen schwenkbar am Doppelgelenk befestigten Stiel auf. Zum Gegeneinanderpressen der Wischflügel ist eine am Stiel angeordnete Verschiebehülse mit zwei Druckarmen vorgesehen, die über die Wischflügel schiebbar sind.Also from US 3,224,025 a wiper device with a complex roller construction for folding the mop plates by means of a press fork is known. From EP 1 208 788 A1 a wet mop for flat surfaces with two interconnected with the interposition of a double joint against each pressable squeegee is known. The wet mop has a pivotally mounted on the double joint stem. For pressing the wiper blades against one another, a displacement sleeve arranged on the handle is provided with two pressure arms which are slidable over the wiper blades.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Wischgerät anzugeben, das bei geringem Herstellaufwand ein leichteres Auspressen des Wischbezugs ermöglicht. Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Wischgerät gelöst, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass jeder Wischflügel zumindest je ein Gleitelement aus einem zweiten Material auf denen die Pressarme gleiten, aufweist.It is the object of the present invention to provide a wiper device, which enables a lighter pressing of the mop cover with low manufacturing costs. The object is achieved by a wiper device, which is characterized in that each wiper blade has at least one respective sliding element made of a second material on which the pressing arms slide.
Erfindungsgemäß wurde erkannt, dass die Reibung zwischen den Pressarmen und den Wischflügeln ein wichtiger Faktor für den zum Auspressen eines Wischbezugs nötigen Kraftaufwandes ist. Eine Reduktion der Reibung ließe sich - wie bereits aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist - durch Verwendung von Rollenkonstruktionen vermeiden. Dies führt jedoch zu einem sehr erheblichen Mehraufwand bei der Herstellung des Wischgerätes. Um ein befriedigendes Reinigungsergebnis insbesondere auf unebenen Flächen, insbesondere Fußböden, erreichen zu können, müssen die Wischflügel aus einem ausreichend flexiblen Material hergestellt sein, damit sich die Wischflügel der Bodenform anpassen können. Daher verbietet es sich, dass flexible und daher reibungsträchtige Material der Wischflügel durch ein Material mit guten Gleiteigenschaften zu ersetzen.According to the invention, it has been recognized that the friction between the press arms and the wiper blades is an important factor for the force required to squeeze out a mop cover. A reduction of the friction could be avoided - as already known from the prior art - by using roller constructions. However, this leads to a very considerable overhead in the production of the wiper device. In order to achieve a satisfactory cleaning result, especially on uneven surfaces, especially floors, the mop wings must be made of a sufficiently flexible material so that the mop wings can adapt to the shape of the floor. Therefore, it is forbidden to replace the flexible and therefore friction-bearing material of the squeegee with a material with good sliding properties.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird sowohl die Anpassbarkeit der Wischflügel an unebene Flächen erhalten, als auch gleichzeitig ein leichteres Gegeneinanderpressen der Wischflügel durch Reduktion der Reibung zwischen den Pressarmen und den Wischflügeln erreicht. Dem gemäß ist das erste Material, aus dem die Wischflügel hergestellt sind, weicher und/oder flexibler als das zweite Material aus dem die Gleitelemente hergestellt sind. Insbesondere in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des Wischgeräts ist das zweite Material glatter als das erste Material.According to the present invention, both the adaptability of the wiper blades to uneven surfaces is obtained, and at the same time an easier pressing of the wiper blades against each other is achieved by reducing the friction between the press arms and the wiper blades. Accordingly, the first material from which the vanes are made is softer and / or more flexible than the second material from which the vanes are made. In particular, in an advantageous embodiment of the wiper device, the second material is smoother than the first material.
Das zweite Material ist in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ein Kunststoff, vorzugsweise Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE).The second material is in an advantageous embodiment, a plastic, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das zweite Material ein Metall.In another embodiment, the second material is a metal.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Wischgeräts sind die Gleitelemente aufgeklebt oder aufgeschraubt. In einer anderen ganz besonders effizient herstellbaren Ausführungsform sind die Gleitelemente zusammen mit den Wischflügeln in einem Zweikomponenten- spritzgussverfahren hergestellt.In an advantageous embodiment of the wiper device according to the invention, the sliding elements are glued or screwed. In another embodiment that can be produced particularly efficiently, the sliding elements are produced together with the mop wings in a two-component injection molding process.
In einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weisen die Wischflügel Kletthaken zur Befestigung eines Wischbezugs auf. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, die Kletthaken zusammen mit den Wischflügeln einstückig - beispielsweise in einem Spritzgussverfahren - herzustellen. Auch hier zeigt sich in besonderer Weise der Vorteil der Erfindung, da die Wischflügel aus einem flexiblen Material bestehen, sind auch die zusammen mit diesen hergestellten Kletthaken ausreichend flexibel, um zusammen mit dem Klettband des Wischbezugs eine sichere Verbindung eingehen zu können; was nicht möglich wäre, wenn der gesamte Wischflügel aus einem glatten und harten Material hergestellt wäre.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the mop wings on Velcro hooks for attachment of a mop cover. It is particularly advantageous to produce the hook and loop hooks in one piece together with the mopping wings, for example in an injection molding process. Here, too, shows in a special way the advantage of the invention, since the mop wings are made of a flexible material, and the Velcro hooks produced together with these are sufficiently flexible to be able to make a secure connection with the Velcro strip of mop; which would not be possible if the entire squeegee were made of a smooth and hard material.
Das erfindungsgemäße Wischgerät kann bei beispielsweise als Flachwischer und/oder als Bodenwischer und/oder als Fensterwischer und/oder als Möbelwischer ausgebildet sein.The wiper device according to the invention can be designed, for example, as a flat wiper and / or as a floor wiper and / or as a window wiper and / or as a furniture wiper.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung sind die Pressarme Teile einer Pressgabel. Es kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Pressgabel und/oder die Pressarme entlang einem Stiel geführt verschiebbar angeordnet sind.In an advantageous embodiment, the press arms are parts of a press fork. It can be advantageously provided that the pressing fork and / or the pressing arms are guided displaceably guided along a stem.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Pressgabel - vorzugsweise geführt; beispielsweise an einem Stiel geführt - über die Plattenflügel schiebbar.In an advantageous embodiment, the press fork - preferably guided; For example, guided on a stem - pushed over the plate wings.
Vorteilhafterweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Stiel gelenkig, beispielsweise kreuzgelenkig oder kardanisch, mit der Wischerplatte verbunden ist. Alternativ zu einer Pressgabel kann beispielsweise auch vorgesehen sein, zum Gegeneinanderklappen des ersten und zweiten Plattenflügels, ein vorzugsweise Trichter oder V-förmiges Presssieb, dass die klappbare Wischerplatte eingeführt wird zu verwenden. In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand schematisch dargestellt und wird anhand der Figuren nachfolgend beschrieben, wobei gleich wirkende Elemente mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen sind. Dabei zeigt:Advantageously, it can be provided that the stem is articulated, for example, a universal joint or gimbal, connected to the wiper plate.
