• cleaning device has due to the flat configuration on a high area performance, but it can only be cleaned around those objects whose extension is smaller than the width of the recess.
• the invention has for its object to provide a cleaning device, which is also used in hard to reach places at a high area performance.
• a cleaning device is provided with a central region which is designed as a wiper plate, wherein the wiper plate has a cleaning side to which a cleaning cloth can be fastened, wherein the cleaning cloth has a central base region and finger-shaped cleaning strips which surround the base region outside circumference at least partially and are connected thereto, wherein the cleaning strips are arranged at a circumferential distance in each case adjacent to each other.
• the respective attachment of the cleaning strips to the base region may be uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction around the base region, as well as the arrangement of the cleaning stiffeners.
• the mop plate and the base area are designed substantially congruent and connectable to each other. It could be provided that only the mop plate and the base area are connectable to each other. In such a case, the cleaning strips would not be directly connected to the mop plate, but only by means of the base region.
• the mop plate and the base portion may be detachably connected together by an adhesive such as a hook-and-loop fastener.
• At least the cleaning strips of the cleaning cloth can be formed by a substantially dimensionally stable cleaning text. This cleaning fabric may for example be felt-like.
• the cleaning strips when a cleaning cloth is used whose cleaning strips are less dimensionally stable, it is advantageous if the cleaning strips have arms formed on their upper side facing away from the cleaning side as stiffening elements.
• the arms provide even when using relatively soft, less dimensionally stable cleaning cloths for good performance, in that the cleaning strips do not push together undesirable during use of the cleaning device.
• the arms which are arranged on the cleaning strip, form in such a case with the cleaning cloth a preassembled unit, said preassembled unit can be fixed to the mop plate. If a worn cleaning cloth is replaced with a new one, the arms are also new and the cleaning device has consistently good service properties during a long service life.
• the arms and the central area designed as a wiper plate are connected to one another in a suitable manner on their mutually facing sides, so that a reliable spatial allocation of the parts to one another is ensured
• the cleaning device has a mop plate with a central region from which extend on both sides of several arms, wherein the mop plate has a cleaning side to which a cleaning cloth can be fastened, which in the central region associated portion surface and in the Poor associated sections substantially linearly rests on the floor to be cleaned.
• the arms preferably have a length to width ratio of at least 2: 1 to 20: 1.
• the central region which is preferably oval, allows a surface cleaning with a high area performance.
• the cleaning cloth which is assigned to the area, can absorb a large amount of dust.
• the arms also hard to reach places, for example, around table and chair legs around, can be achieved. It is also conceivable that the mop plate has only a flat central region and that from the cleaning cloth, which is attached to the central region, the arms are formed. In this case, stiffer elements can be integrated in the cleaning cloth, which then form the arms. But it is also conceivable that the cleaning cloth has a number of slots over the circumference, which form the arms.
• the arms can be connected in a star shape to the central area. In this case, the arms move away from each other in the direction of the free end, so that the space between the arms becomes larger.
• the cleaning device can be guided around objects of the most varied thickness, wherein the arms can rest directly against the object and thus also the surfaces in the region of the object can be cleaned
• the arms may be formed and arranged such that the mop plate has a rectangular boundary edge.
• the arms can also have a trapezoidal delimiting edge, which has a further improved cornering ability.
• the boundary edge can also be oval.
• the arms can be resiliently attached to the central area.
• the arms can move horizontally and vertically and the arms can be brought particularly close to objects to be cleaned, with the arms spread open and the distance between the arms to the object to be cleaned in the area of the floor to be cleaned.
• the arms may be arranged at the central area such that they are inclined relative to the central area and first come into contact with the floor to be cleaned.
• the central region or the region of the cleaning cloth assigned to the central region can be equipped with particularly abrasive means which come into contact with the soil to be cleaned when pressure is applied to the stem and improve the cleaning action against firmly adhering soils.
• the arms can be fixed via webs to the central area.
• Webs are particularly easy to produce and can be made of the same material and in one piece with the arms and / or the central area. But it is also conceivable to produce the webs of a different material.
• the webs may be formed so that the arms are substantially only horizontally movable. In this embodiment, the contact pressure of the arms to the floor to be cleaned is always guaranteed.
• the arms can only move horizontally and widen. This is the case in particular when the webs extend substantially in the vertical direction and have a small width.
• the webs can also be designed so that the movement is resilient.
• the arms can be formed of the same material and in one piece with the central region. This simplifies the production of the mop plate.
• Spring bodies can be arranged between the arms.
• the spring bodies compress when the distance between the arms changes by horizontal movement and thus prevent overstressing of the webs.
• the spring bodies may consist of a thermoplastic elastomer.
• Such elastic materials can be produced by injection molding and in particular also in 2K injection molding together with the central region and the arms.
• a stem connection can be integrated.
• the stem connection preferably takes place via a universal joint, resulting in good maneuverability.
• the handle connection can be arranged elevated to the rear side of the central region of the mop plate. In this case, the handle can be particularly inclined, so that the cleaning of surfaces below objects such as tables, cabinets and other furniture is possible.
• the area around the stem connection may additionally be hemispherical-shaped, for example.
