Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wischerplatte mit einer umlaufenden Randkante, wobei die Wischerplattenunterseite eine Reinigungsfläche ausbildet, die bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung von einem Wischbezug zu überdecken ist, und wobei die Wischerplattenoberseite in einem Klemmbereich zumindest eine Wischbezugklemme für einen Wischbezug aufweist, die von einer von einem oder mehreren Klemmelementen umgebenen Durchdringung gebildet ist, in die der Wischbezug zwecks Festlegung an der Wischerplatte einzustecken ist, wobei sich zumindest im Klemmbereich und ausgehend von der Randkante der Wischerplatte die nach innen gewandte Fläche der Wischerplattenoberseite und/oder der Klemmelemente von der nach innen gewandten Fläche der Wischerplattenunterseite zunehmend entfernt, um einen Aufnahmeraum für den die Wischbezugklemme durchdringenden Teil des Wischbezugs zu bilden.The invention relates to a wiper plate having a circumferential peripheral edge, wherein the wiper plate underside forms a cleaning surface to be covered by a mop cover when used as intended, and wherein the wiper plate top in a clamping region has at least one mop cover for a mop cover, one of one or more Clamping elements surrounded penetration is formed, in which the mop cover for attachment to the wiper plate is to be inserted, wherein at least in the clamping region and starting from the peripheral edge of the wiper plate, the inwardly facing surface of the wiper plate top and / or the clamping elements of the inwardly facing surface of the wiper plate underside increasingly removed to form a receiving space for the wiper reference terminal penetrating part of the mop cover.

Bei bekannten Bodenwischern ist eine Mehrzahl von Klemmbereichen mit der von Klemmelementen umgebenen Durchdringung im Bereich eines parallel zur Reinigungsfläche verlaufenden Oberflächenabschnitts der oberseitigen Wischerplatte eingelassen. Um den Wischbezug an der Wischerplatte anzubringen, wird die Wischerplatte auf den Wischbezug gestellt. Anschließend wird das Wischtuch um den Rand der Wischerplatte herum umgeschlagen und durch Einstecken des Wischbezugs zwischen die Klemmelemente an der Wischerplatte befestigt. Einen derartigen Bodenwischer offenbart die Druckschrift CH 700 702 B1 .In known floor wipers, a plurality of clamping areas are embedded with the penetration surrounded by clamping elements in the region of a surface section of the top-side wiper plate running parallel to the cleaning surface. To attach the mop cover to the wiper plate, the mop plate is placed on the mop cover. Subsequently, the wipe is folded around the edge of the wiper plate and secured by inserting the mop cover between the clamping elements on the wiper plate. Such a floor wiper discloses the document CH 700 702 B1 ,

Nachteilig an der bekannten Ausgestaltung ist, dass ein relativ großer Teilabschnitt des Wischbezugs um den Rand der Wischerplatte herum umgeschlagen werden muss, um bis zu den relativ weit vom Rand der Wischerplatte beabstandeten Klemmbereichen zu reichen. Somit bleibt ein großer Teil des Wischbezuges ungenutzt. Das Heranrücken der Klemmbereiche näher an den Rand der Wischerplatte scheidet bei der bekannten Ausgestaltung konstruktionsbedingt aus, da der unmittelbare Nahbereich des Rands der Wischerplatte das die Reinigungsfläche bildende Reinigungspad hält und dort kein Raum für die Ausbildung einer geeigneten, von Klemmelementen umgebenen Durchdringung vorhanden ist.A disadvantage of the known configuration that a relatively large portion of the mop cover must be turned around the edge of the wiper plate around to reach up to the relatively far from the edge of the wiper plate spaced clamping areas. Thus, a large part of the mop cover remains unused. The approach of the clamping areas closer to the edge of the wiper plate separates in the known embodiment by design because the immediate vicinity of the edge of the wiper plate holds the cleaning pad forming the cleaning surface and there is no space for the formation of a suitable penetration surrounded by clamping elements.

Aus den Druckschriften GB 2 398 231 A , EP 0 370 698 A1 und US 2004/0045126 A1 sind auβerdem Wischerplatten bekannt, bei denen Wischbezugklemmen an Bereichen der Wischerplattenoberseite angeordnet sind, in denen sich ausgehend vom Rand der Wischerplatte Wischerplattenoberseite zunehmend von der der Wischerplattenunterseite entfernt. Auch hier sind jedoch die Klemmbereiche von der Randkante der Wischerplatte nach wie vor deutlich entfernt.From the pamphlets GB 2 398 231 A . EP 0 370 698 A1 and US 2004/0045126 A1 In addition, wiper plates are known in which mop cover clamps are arranged on areas of the wiper plate upper side, in which, starting from the edge of the wiper plate, the wiper plate top is increasingly removed from that of the wiper plate underside. Again, however, the clamping areas of the peripheral edge of the wiper plate are still clearly removed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, die bekannte Wischerplatte derart weiterzubilden, dass entweder ein größerer Teil des Wischbezugs effektiv zur Reinigung nutzbar ist oder dass bei gleicher Wischbezugsreinigungsfläche die Wischerplatte kompakter ausgebildet werden kann. Dabei soll die Wischerplatte gegenüber der bekannten Ausgestaltung - soweit möglich - weder Kompaktheit einbüßen noch an Gewicht zunehmen.The object of the invention is therefore to further develop the known wiper plate such that either a larger part of the mop cover can be effectively used for cleaning or that with the same mop cover cleaning surface, the wiper plate can be made more compact. In this case, the wiper plate compared to the known design - as far as possible - neither lose compactness nor increase in weight.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die Randkante von einem bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Reinigungsfläche stehenden Materialbereich gebildet ist, der unmittelbar in den Klemmbereich überführt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the marginal edge is formed by a material area which is substantially perpendicular to the cleaning surface when used properly and which is transferred directly into the clamping area.

Somit ist es ermöglicht, dass sich der Klemmbereich mit der Durchdringung unmittelbar an den Rand der Wischerplatte anschließt. Ein bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur zu reinigenden Fläche stehender, randseitiger Materialabschnitt der Wischerplatte ist demnach unmittelbar in den Klemmbereich überführt. Der Klemmbereich mit der Wischbezugklemme schließt sich also unmittelbar an die Randkante der Wischerplatte an. So ist gewährleistet, dass der wenigstens eine Klemmbereich auch bei Notwendigkeit der Ausbildung einer Reinigungspadaufnahme durch im Randbereich vorzusehende Stützflächen in unmittelbarer Randnähe der Wischerplatte angeordnet sein kann. Der um den Rand der Wischerplatte umzuschlagende Teilabschnitt des Wischbezugs wird damit auf das unbedingt erforderliche Minimum reduziert.Thus, it is possible that the clamping area connects with the penetration directly to the edge of the wiper plate. An edge-side material section of the wiper plate that is essentially perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned when used as intended is accordingly transferred directly into the clamping region. The clamping area with the mop cover thus directly adjoins the peripheral edge of the wiper plate. This ensures that the at least one clamping area can be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the edge of the wiper plate, even if a cleaning pad receptacle is required to be provided by support surfaces to be provided in the edge area. Of the To be folded around the edge of the wiper plate portion of the mop cover is thus reduced to the minimum necessary.

Bevorzugt ist der Klemmbereich zur Ausbildung des inneren Aufnahmeraums gegenüber der nach innen, zum Aufnahmeraum hin gewandten Fläche der Wischerplattenunterseite winklig gestellt.The clamping region for forming the inner receiving space is preferably angled relative to the surface of the wiper plate underside facing inwards towards the receiving space.

Durch die vorgenannten Ausgestaltungen, insbesondere durch das Winkligstellen der Wischerplatte im Klemmbereich, wird erreicht, dass sich die nach innen gewandte Fläche der Wischerplattenoberseite bzw. die entsprechende Fläche der die Durchdringung umgebenden Klemmelemente sich von der nach innen gewandten Fläche der Wischerplattenunterseite ausgehend vom Rand der Wischerplatte entfernt, so dass zwischen diesen beiden Innenseiten ein innerer Aufnahmeraum gebildet wird, in den die Durchdringung mündet.By the aforementioned embodiments, in particular by the Winkligstellen the wiper plate in the clamping area, it is achieved that the inwardly facing surface of the wiper plate top side or the corresponding surface of the penetration surrounding clamping elements extending from the inwardly facing surface of the wiper plate base starting from the edge of the wiper plate removed, so that between these two inner sides of an inner receiving space is formed, in which the penetration opens.

Aufgrund der schrägen Anordnung der Wischbezugklemmen kann insbesondere auch die Bauhöhe der Wischerplatte reduziert werden, wobei trotzdem ausreichend Platz zwischen den dem Aufnahmeraum zugewandten Flächen der Wischbezugklemme und Wischerplattenunterseite gewährleistet ist, um das Wischtuch problemlos einklemmen zu können.Due to the oblique arrangement of the mop reference terminals, in particular, the height of the wiper plate can be reduced, while still sufficient space between the receiving space facing surfaces of the mop head and wiper plate bottom is guaranteed to clamp the wipe easily.

Um den Übergang der Wischerplattenoberseite in den Klemmbereich möglichst eben und optisch gefällig zu gestalten, ist die Wischbezugklemme bevorzugt bündig in die Wischerplattenoberseite eingebettet. Der Klemmbereich ist weiter bevorzugt von einer Einlage aus elastischem Material gebildet, die zur Ausbildung von biegsamen Klemmelementen von Schlitzen durchzogen ist. Auf diese Weise werden die Klemmelemente durch die mittels der Schlitze voneinander getrennten Klemmzungen gebildet, die die Durchdringung in der Wischerplattenoberseite umgeben und den Wischbezug nach Einstecken in die Wischbezugklemme an der Wischerplatte festlegen.In order to make the transition of the wiper plate top in the clamping area as flat and visually pleasing, the mop cover is preferably embedded flush in the wiper plate top. The clamping region is further preferably formed by an insert of elastic material, which is traversed by the formation of flexible clamping elements of slots. In this way, the clamping elements are formed by the clamping tongues separated from one another by means of the slots, which surround the penetration in the wiper plate top side and fix the mop cover to the wiper plate after insertion into the mop cover.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele anhand der Zeichnungen.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

In den Zeichnungen zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Gesamtansicht einer Wischerplatte,
  • Fig. 2 eine Frontansicht einer Wischerplatte,
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt durch die Wischerplatte entlang der in Fig. 2 angedeuteten Schnittlinie B - B, und
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt durch die Wischerplatte entlang der in Fig. 2 angedeuteten Schnittlinie A - A.
In the drawings shows:
  • Fig. 1 an overall perspective view of a wiper plate,
  • Fig. 2 a front view of a wiper plate,
  • Fig. 3 a section through the wiper plate along the in Fig. 2 indicated section line B - B, and
  • Fig. 4 a section through the wiper plate along the in Fig. 2 indicated section line A - A.

In Figur 1 ist eine Wischerplatte 1 in einer perspektivischen Draufsicht dargestellt. Die Wischerplatte 1 weist auf ihrer Oberseite rein beispielhaft vier Klemmbereiche 2 auf, wobei auch mehr oder weniger als vier Klemmbereiche 2 und Klemmbereiche anderer Größe und geometrischer Form vorgesehen sein können. In den Klemmbereichen 2 sind Wischbezugklemmen 3 ausgebildet, die im Bereich eines Durchlasses in der Wischerplattenoberseite in die Wischerplatte 1 eingelassen sind und eine Durchdringung bilden. Diese Durchdringung ist von Klemmelementen 4 umgeben.In FIG. 1 is a wiper plate 1 in a perspective plan view shown. The wiper plate 1 has on its upper side purely by way of example four clamping regions 2, whereby more or less than four clamping regions 2 and clamping regions of different size and geometric shape can be provided. In the clamping areas 2 mop reference terminals 3 are formed, which are embedded in the region of a passage in the wiper plate top in the wiper plate 1 and form a penetration. This penetration is surrounded by clamping elements 4.

Die Klemmelemente 4 sind als Teil einer elastischen und bevorzugt flächig ausgestalteten Einlage gebildet, die, wie in den Figuren dargestellt und insbesondere aus Figur 4 ersichtlich, bevorzugt bündig in die Wischerplattenoberseite eingelassen ist. Zur Ausbildung der Klemmelemente 4 ist die elastische Einlage geschlitzt, so dass sich in der elastischen Einlage einzelne Klemmzungen ausbilden, die bei Einstecken des Wischbezugs in die Durchdringung durch Verschwenken eine zunehmende Schlitzbreite freigeben und anschließend den zwischen den Klemmzungen befindlichen Wischbezug, unterstützt durch die den Klemmzungen innewohnende Materialelastizität und durch die mit einem Zurückschwenken einhergehende Verringerung der zwischen den Klemmzungen ausgebildeten Schlitzbreite, festhalten. Die die Wischbezugklemme 3 bildende Einlage stützt sich mittels eines umlaufenden Kragen auf der Wischerplatteoberseite 1 ab.The clamping elements 4 are formed as part of an elastic and preferably flat configured insert, which, as shown in the figures and in particular from FIG. 4 can be seen, preferably flush with the wiper plate top is inserted. To form the clamping elements 4, the elastic insert is slotted so that form individual clamping tongues in the elastic insert, which release an increasing slot width when inserting the mop cover in the penetration by pivoting and then the mating cover located between the clamping tongues, supported by the clamping tongues inherent material elasticity and by the associated with a pivoting back reduction in the formed between the clamping tongues slot width, hold. The insert forming the mop cover 3 is supported by means of a circumferential collar on the wiper plate upper side 1.

Figur 3 und Figur 4 verdeutlichen den zweiteiligen Aufbau der Wischerplatte 1. So weist die Wischerplatte 1 ein Oberteil auf, das bevorzugt aus einem Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt ist. Die Wischerplattenunterseite ist von einem Reinigungspad 6 gebildet, das bevorzugt aus einem Weichkunststoff, insbesondere aus einem Schaumstoff, besteht und unterseitig an dem Oberteil befestigt ist. Die Stützflächen, an denen sich das Reinigungspad 6 abstützt, sind, wie ein Vergleich der Wischerplattenausgestaltung in den beiden in Figur 2 angedeuteten Schnittebenen A - A (Figur 4) und B - B (Figur 3) zeigt, in den Klemmbereichen 2 zu Gunsten der Aufnahme der die Wischbezugklemmen 3 bildenden Einlagen und zur Bildung des Aufnahmeraums unterbrochen, so dass es möglich ist, durch die von den Wischbezugklemmen 3 gebildeten Durchdringungen die zum Aufnahmeraum gerichtete Oberfläche des Reinigungspads 6 zu berühren. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 illustrate the two-part structure of the wiper plate 1. Thus, the wiper plate 1 on an upper part, which is preferably made of a plastic by injection molding. The wiper plate underside is formed by a cleaning pad 6, which preferably consists of a soft plastic, in particular of a foam, and is attached to the underside of the upper part. The support surfaces on which the cleaning pad 6 is supported, as a comparison of the wiper plate design in the two in FIG. 2 indicated sectional planes A - A ( FIG. 4 ) and B - B ( FIG. 3 ) shows, in the clamping areas 2 in favor of receiving the mop reference clamps 3 forming deposits and the formation of the Interception space interrupted so that it is possible to touch through the formed by the mop reference clamps 3 penetrations directed to the receiving space surface of the cleaning pad 6.

Wie die Figuren zeigen, sind die Klemmbereiche 2 im unmittelbaren Nahbereich des Wischerplattenrandes angeordnet. Figur 4 verdeutlicht, dass die senkrecht stehende, umlaufende Randkante 5 der Wischerplatte 1 in den Klemmbereichen 2 direkt in die Wischbezugklemmen 3 übergeht.As the figures show, the clamping regions 2 are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the wiper plate edge. FIG. 4 illustrates that the perpendicular, circumferential peripheral edge 5 of the wiper plate 1 in the clamping areas 2 passes directly into the mop reference terminals 3.

Insbesondere Figur 4 ist zu entnehmen, dass in den Klemmbereichen 2 und ausgehend vom Rand der Wischerplatte 1 der Materialverlauf der Wischerplatte 1 bzw. der Materialverlauf der Klemmelemente 4 um einen Winkel "A" gegenüber der von dem Reinigungspad 6 gebildeten Reinigungsfläche bzw. gegenüber dessen nach innen gewandter Oberfläche winklig angestellt ist. Dies führt dazu, dass bereits im unmittelbaren Nahbereich der äußeren Randkante 5 der Wischerplatte 1 ein Aufnahmeraum 7 ausgebildet ist, in den die im Klemmbereich 3 vorgesehene Durchdringung zur Aufnahme eines Wischbezugs münden kann. Der von der Wischbezugklemme 3 gehaltene Abschnitt des Wischbezuges kann so in den Aufnahmeraum eindringen, ohne von innen gegen das Reinigungspad zu drücken und dieses zu verformen, was ein nachteiliges Reinigungsverhalten der Wischerplatte zur Folge hätte.Especially FIG. 4 It can be seen that in the clamping regions 2 and starting from the edge of the wiper plate 1, the material flow of the wiper plate 1 and the material flow of the clamping elements 4 by an angle "A" relative to the cleaning surface formed by the cleaning pad 6 and against its inwardly facing surface is employed at an angle. As a result, a receiving space 7 is already formed in the immediate vicinity of the outer peripheral edge 5 of the wiper plate 1, into which the penetration provided in the clamping region 3 can open to receive a mop cover. The portion of the mop cover held by the mop cover 3 can thus penetrate into the receiving space without pressing against the cleaning pad from inside and deforming it, which would result in an adverse cleaning behavior of the mop plate.

Der Winkel "A" ist derart, dass sich unmittelbar von der Randkante 5 ausgehend die nach innen und zum Aufnahmeraum 7 gerichtete Fläche der Wischerplatte 1 oder die der Klemmelemente 4 von der benachbarten, ebenfalls nach innen zum Aufnahmeraum 7 hin gerichteten Fläche des Reinigungspads 6 entfernt. Der Fachmann wird erkennen, dass der Betrag des Winkels "A" dabei in gewissen Grenzen variabel ist. Er sollte groß genug sein, um einen ausreichend großen Aufnahmeraum 7 unmittelbar neben der Randkante 5 auszubilden, sollte aber ausreichend klein sein, um die Kompaktheit und vorteilhafter Weise verringerte Höhe der Wischerplatte nicht allzu negativ zu beeinflussen. Der Winkel zwischen der im Wesentlichen senkrecht stehenden Randkanteninnenseite und der zum Aufnahmeraum 7 hin gerichteten inneren Fläche der Wischerplattenoberseite ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 3 also notwendiger Weise größer als 90°, bevorzugt größer als 100°.The angle "A" is such that, starting directly from the peripheral edge 5, the surface of the wiper plate 1 directed toward the inside and the receiving space 7 or the clamping elements 4 are removed from the adjacent surface of the cleaning pad 6 which is also directed inwards toward the receiving space 7 , The person skilled in the art will recognize that the amount of the angle "A" is variable within certain limits. It should be large enough to form a sufficiently large receiving space 7 immediately adjacent to the peripheral edge 5, but should be sufficiently small so as not to adversely affect the compactness and advantageously reduced height of the wiper plate. The angle between the substantially vertical edge edge inner side and the receiving surface 7 toward the inner surface of the wiper plate top is in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 so necessarily greater than 90 °, preferably greater than 100 °.

Gegenüber bekannten Wischerplatten mit einer vergleichbaren Befestigungstechnik für die Wischbezüge können so die die Durchdringung umgebenden Klemmelemente näher an den Rand gerückt werden, ohne dass die Reinigungspadaufnahme der Wischerplatte funktionell beeinträchtigt werden würde. Das Anbringen der Wischbezugklemme auf einer schrägen Fläche führt dazu, dass sich die Strecke zwischen dem äußeren Rand der wirksamen Reinigungsfläche und der Wischbezugklemme merklich verringert, so dass bei gleicher Wischbezuggröße die Reinigungsfläche vergrößert oder bei gleicher Reinigungsfläche die Wischbezuggröße verkleinert werden kann. Außerdem kommt hinzu, dass sich die Bauhöhe der Wischerplatte verringern lässt, ohne dass sich ein spürbarer Nachteil bei der Größe des Aufnahmeraums ergibt.Compared with known wiper plates with a comparable fastening technique for the mop covers so the clamping elements surrounding the penetration can be moved closer to the edge without the cleaning pad recording of the wiper plate would be affected functionally. The attachment of the mop reference clamp on an inclined surface causes the distance between the outer edge of the effective cleaning surface and the mop reference clamp is significantly reduced, so that the same mop size, the cleaning surface increased or the same cleaning surface mop size can be reduced. In addition, it is added that the overall height of the wiper plate can be reduced, without resulting in a noticeable disadvantage in the size of the receiving space.
