Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mopping device, comprising a mopping textile and a substantially rectangular support body with a longitudinal axis and two longitudinal sides and a transverse axis and two transverse sides, to which the mopping textile can be releasably attached, a pivotable fastening clamp being arranged on the support body on the transverse side at least on one side so as to be pivotable about a hinge and wherein the at least one fastening clamp is movable in a pivot plane which is arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support body.
  • Such a wiper is from the DE 94 02 579 U1 famous.
  • the wiping textile is formed by a simple wiping cloth that is fixed to the bottom and top of the support body.
  • a Velcro strip running transversely to the working direction is arranged on the underside of the support body and can be brought into engagement with the surface of the wipe.
  • two recesses are arranged on both sides of the handle to fix the wipe on the support body on its upper side, in each of which the wipe is releasably clamped by a clamping body.
  • Each clamping body is arranged at one end of a pivot lever, the pivot lever being mounted on the carrier body.
  • the wiping cloth When wiping, the wiping cloth is guided around the front longitudinal side of the support body.
  • the simple wiping cloth does not have any additional fastening devices that would simplify its attachment to the support body and / or make it more reliable.
  • the wiper is clamped by a mandrel of a clamping body in a substantially congruent recess in the support body.
  • a mandrel of a clamping body in a substantially congruent recess in the support body.
  • Such a type of attachment requires a suitable wipe, in particular a wipe made of a suitable material, because the wipe itself has a direct influence on the durability of the attachment to the support body. If the wiping cloth is too thick, for example, and / or has fringes running around the outer circumference, it will not be possible to lock the locking device in the recess by the mandrel.
  • the wiping cloth is very thin, it can happen that the clamping force of the lock is insufficient or that the wiping cloth is pierced when the mandrel is inserted into the recess and thus destroyed.
  • a further disadvantage is that the wiping cloth is guided around the front longitudinal side of the supporting body during the intended use of the wiping device.
  • a suitable wipe must be selected that is sufficiently stable on the one hand not to be damaged during normal use in this area and on the other hand flexible enough to be guided around the edge and then attached to the support body be able.
  • FIG DE 84 34 817 U1 famous Another wiper device, which essentially corresponds to the wiper device described above, is shown in FIG DE 84 34 817 U1 famous.
  • the wiping textile is formed by a simple wiping cloth that is attached to the edge of the support body by brackets.
  • the brackets are designed as clamping jaws and are thereby connected to the support body.
  • This wiper also does not have any additional fastening devices by means of which the wiper could be fastened to the support body in a more durable manner.
  • the support body has a pivotable fastening clamp in the region of its two transverse sides, the fastening clamps each being movable in a pivot plane.
  • the pivot planes are each arranged perpendicular to the transverse axis of the support body.
  • the width of the fastening clamps is only comparatively small.
  • fastening tabs of the mopping textile can be accommodated, which are also relatively narrow, so that the previously known mopping device can only be operated overall with an undesirably limited number of mopping textiles.
  • the weight of the wiping fabric runs parallel to the swivel plane of the fastening clamps. In particular, when the wiping fabric is wet, this is disadvantageous for reliable fastening of the wiping fabric on the support body.
  • the invention is based on the object of developing a mopping device of the previously known type in such a way that fastening straps of the mopping textile of different widths can be fastened to the support body in a particularly durable and secure manner.
  • the wiping textile has, on the transverse side, at least one side, a fastening tab for fastening to the corresponding fastening clamp.
  • Essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support body is preferably understood to mean a range of ⁇ 45 °, starting from the perpendicular of the pivot plane.
  • the fastening clamp Due to the pivotability of the fastening clamp in a swivel plane, which is arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support body, there is the possibility of designing the fastening clamp to be very wide in the swivel plane, so that fastening straps of the wiping textile can also be attached to the support body by means of the fastening clamp, for example, when the fastening tab has a width which almost corresponds to the width of the support body.
  • the support body is therefore suitable for receiving wiping textiles with fastening straps of the most varied of widths and can therefore be used very universally.
  • fastening tab extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support body and perpendicular to the pivot plane of the fastening clamp. A good durability is therefore also guaranteed if the fastening strap is exposed to tensile loads due to the intended use of the mopping device.
  • a pivotable fastening clamp is arranged on both sides of the support body so that it can be pivoted about a joint, for fastening fastening straps arranged correspondingly on both sides of the wiping fabric and that the two fastening clamps each in a pivot plane, which is essentially perpendicular are arranged to the longitudinal axis of the support body, are movable.
  • the fastening of a wiping textile by two fastening straps on two fastening clamps of the support body is particularly simple.
  • a wiping textile with two fastening straps can be produced simply and inexpensively. If the wiping textile is designed symmetrically to its transverse axis, the risk of assembly errors when it is attached to the support body is minimized. The user practically does not need to pay attention to the direction in which he is fixing the wiping textile on the support body.
  • the wiping textile has a fastening pocket on the transverse side, at least on one side, which at least partially encloses a transverse side of the support body.
  • the fastening tab can be arranged on this fastening pocket.
  • the fastening clamps can be arranged pivotably about pivot axes of the joints, the pivot axes of the joints being arranged essentially parallel to the longitudinal axes of the support body.
  • the pivot axes thus extend perpendicular to the pivot plane.
  • the joints can be designed differently.
  • the fastening clamps can be pivotable in their pivot planes by a first opening angle between an open and a closed position, the first opening angle preferably being 45 ° to 135 °.
  • first opening angles that are smaller than 90 °, the handling for fastening the wiping textile through its fastening tabs on the support body can be all the more difficult, the wider the fastening tabs are designed.
  • the threading of the fastening tab in the area of the The hinge of the fastening clamps turns out to be particularly troublesome with small initial opening angles.
  • Opening angles greater than 135 ° are disadvantageous insofar as large swivel angles have to be covered to fasten the fastening tabs and the fastening tabs can move out of their favorable position between the fastening clamps and the support body during this.
  • the first opening angle is preferably at least 90 °. This ensures that even wide fastening straps can easily be inserted by the user into the clamping area between the carrier body and the fastening clamp and then fastened by fastening clips projecting perpendicularly from the support body.
  • the first opening angle can be 110 °.
  • Such a large opening angle is of particular advantage for professional applications, in particular when the user works with gloves and the wiping textile has to be changed particularly frequently and / or quickly.
  • the fastening clamps In the open position, the fastening clamps can each be able to be placed against a stop in order to limit their first opening angle. As a result of the stop, the fastening clamp always assumes the same, defined position in its open position relative to the support body, so that the handling of the mopping device is simplified, in particular when a mopping textile is changed more frequently, as described above.
  • the handling of the mopping device can be further simplified in that the joints of the fastening clamps each have at least one latching station for holding the fastening clamps in the open position. Take the fastening clips in their respective rest stations a defined position in relation to the support body. In contrast to the stops described above, the locking stations do not absolutely limit the angle of the open position of the fastening clamps in relation to the support body.
  • the fastening clamps can, for example, be moved beyond the latching station when moving in the open position.
  • the advantage here is that the service life of the mopping device can be extended as a result, even if it is used in a harsh, professional operation. Even if the fastening clamps are moved into the open position beyond their respective locking station, the fastening clamps do not break off.
  • the fastening clamps swing around the joint in a manner that is not difficult to control due to their positioning in the rest station - and therefore difficult to handle for the user.
  • the fastening clamps are then moved from the open position in the latching station back into their closed position.
  • the fastening clamps each have two locking stations which limit a first, second opening angle of 90 ° and a second, second opening angle of 110 °. Depending on the preferences of the respective user, he can lock the fastening clamps in one of the two locking stations when changing a wiping fabric.
  • the locking stations can each be formed by a spring-loaded ball which can be snapped into a first recess.
  • Such rest stations have a simple structure, function reliably and consistently well over a long period of use and are inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the fastening clamps can be arranged flush with the surface in the support body.
  • the advantage here is that the mopping device as a whole has a smooth surface.
  • the support plate with closed fastening straps, as already described above can be inserted into pockets on the upper side of a wiping textile without any problems.
  • the flush surface ensures that no coarse dirt accumulates on the surface of the support plate and the fastening straps. Light soiling can be easily wiped off.
  • the use of the mopping device is therefore particularly hygienic even during a long period of use.
  • the fastening clamps can each have a handle on their sides facing away from the respective joint.
  • the handle simplifies handling when attaching the wiping fabric to the support body or when removing the wiping fabric from the support body.
  • the handle makes it clear to the user at which point of the fastening clamp he has to grip in order to be able to close or open the fastening clamps as easily as possible.
  • the width of the fastening clamps preferably corresponds essentially to the width of the support body.
  • the fastening tabs of the wiping textile is slightly smaller than the width of the support body, the fastening tabs can be securely fastened to the support body by the wide fastening clips.
  • the mopping device can be operated with a large number of different mopping textiles. Different widths of fastening tabs of different mopping textiles do not limit the versatility of the mopping device, the width of the fastening tabs of the mopping textile to be clamped being limited only by the width of the distance between the hinge and the handle of the fastening clips.
  • the joints can each be arranged in the region of a longitudinal side of the support body and the handles in the region of the other longitudinal side of the support body which is opposite in the transverse direction.
  • the lever for opening and closing the fastening clamps is as large as possible.
  • the handling of the mopping device is thereby also simplified when greater forces have to be applied to engage the fastening clamps in the closed position or to open the fastening clamps.
  • the fastening clamps can be positively connected to the support body in their closed position.
  • Positive connections for example locking connections, can be produced simply and inexpensively.
  • releasable form-fit connections have better usage properties over a longer period of use.
  • releasable form-fitting connections are less sensitive to contamination.
  • a form-fitting connection between the fastening clamps and the support body is therefore particularly advantageous.
  • the handles of the fastening clamps each have a locking lug, each behind a locking projection in the respective longitudinal side of the support body are lockable.
  • the locking lug is at a maximum distance from the joint of the fastening clamps. The lever for both opening and closing the latching connection is therefore maximal.
  • the locking lugs are arranged flush with the surface in the underside of the support body facing the surface to be cleaned.
  • the surface-flush integration of the locking lugs in the underside of the support body prevents unwanted protrusions between the underside of the support body and the top of the wiping fabric.
  • the smooth underside of the support body therefore transfers the pressure of the user evenly to the wiping fabric and thus to the surface to be cleaned.
  • the handles of the fastening clamps in the longitudinal direction of the support body each have a latching lug on both sides, which can be latched behind a latching projection of the support body.
  • the corresponding longitudinal side of the support body does not need to be encompassed by the latching lugs in such a configuration.
  • Such locking lugs do not have any influence on the underside of the support body.
  • the support body can each have a recess for locking the fastening clamps, said recess extending parallel to the respective longitudinal edge, with latching lugs of the fastening clamps being able to be latched into the recess.
  • the longitudinal edges of the support body extend continuously.
  • the recesses are therefore also limited by the longitudinal edges, as are the latching lugs arranged in the recesses. Even if the mopping device is moved, for example, directly on the baseboards, the baseboards do not touch the latching lugs, but only the longitudinal edges, which in this case protect the latching lugs from mechanical influences protect.
  • the risk of the latching lugs loosening undesirably and the fastening clamps thereby unintentionally exposing the fastening tabs is limited to a minimum by such a configuration.
  • the fastening clamps can each be fixed to the support body by means of a snap fastener connection.
  • Push-button connections are simple and durable and the user can immediately see at a glance whether the push-button connection is correctly locked while the mopping device is being used as intended.
  • the handles of the fastening clamps have a length in the direction of the longitudinal sides of the support body which is 2 cm to 4 cm.
  • the length mentioned corresponds to the width of two or three fingers of the user placed next to one another.
  • the fastening clamps can be arranged opposite to each other, one of the fastening clamps on one longitudinal side of the support body being pivotable about the pivot axis of its joint and the other fastening clip being arranged pivotably on the other longitudinal side of the support body about the pivot axis of its joint.
  • Such an arrangement of the fastening clips is referred to as "opposite to one another".
  • the advantage here is that the user can bring both fastening clamps into the open position so that they can be pivoted from right to left about their respective joint. To do this, the user holds the support plate in front of it vertically and first loosens / attaches the upper fastening clamp.
  • the user rotates the support body 180 ° around the axis of the handle of the mopping device, so that the now upper hold-down device can also be brought into the open position so that it can be pivoted from right to left around the joint.
  • the fastening clamps which are arranged opposite one another, simplify the handling of the mopping device.
  • At least one joint is formed by a film hinge which merges into one another in one piece and is formed from the same material as the fastening clamp and / or the support body.
  • a film hinge is structurally particularly simple and the wiper device has an overall construction with few parts.
  • the film hinge can consist, for example, of an elastically flexible polymer material and be made thin in the manner of a film.
  • At least one joint can be formed by stub axles of the corresponding fastening clamp, with one stub axle being arranged in the longitudinal direction of the supporting body on the one hand and one stub axle being arranged in the longitudinal direction of the supporting body on the other hand, and that the stub axles are rotatably mounted in congruent recesses of the supporting body.
  • a wiper device also has a construction with few parts. No additional components are required for the joint.
  • the stub axles form components of the fastening clamp and the recesses are arranged in the support body. Due to the low-number of parts, the mopping device, like the mopping device described above, in which the joint is formed by a film hinge, is only light in weight.
  • the stub axles and / or the recesses in which they are arranged can have a first surface profile with an increased coefficient of friction exhibit.
  • the increased coefficient of friction is dimensioned in such a way that the fastening clamps are held in their respective position by self-locking in intermediate positions between the open position and the closed position, regardless of how the user holds the support plate.
  • the fastening clamps do not move by their own weight alone.
  • the stub axles are preferably provided with the first surface profiling, because axles can be provided with a surface profiling more easily than bores.
  • At least one joint is formed by a separately manufactured axle, which the fastening clamp engages around pivotably and is mounted in the support body.
  • the axis can for example consist of a rust-free metallic material. As a result, the axis is resistant to moisture and, even after a long period of use of the mopping device, ensures that the fastening clamps can be swiveled perfectly about the respective axes.
  • the axis and / or the fastening clamp enclosing the axes can have a second surface profile with an increased coefficient of friction. As described above, this prevents movement of the open fastening clamps that is difficult to control.
  • the fastening clamps can thereby be held in their respective positions by self-locking in intermediate positions between the open position and the closed position.

Ein solches Wischgerät ist aus der DE 94 02 579 U1 bekannt.Such a wiper is from the DE 94 02 579 U1 famous.

Das Wischtextil ist durch ein einfaches Wischtuch gebildet, das an der Unter- und Oberseite des Tragkörpers festgelegt ist. Zur Festlegung des Wischtuchs ist an der Unterseite des Tragkörpers ein quer zur Arbeitsrichtung verlaufendes Klettband angeordnet, das mit der Oberfläche des Wischtuchs in Eingriff bringbar ist. Außerdem sind zum Festlegung des Wischtuchs am Tragkörper auf dessen Oberseite beiderseits des Stiels zwei Vertiefungen angeordnet, in denen das Wischtuch jeweils durch einen Klemmkörper lösbar festgeklemmt ist. Jeder Klemmkörper ist an einem Ende eines Schwenkhebels angeordnet, wobei der Schwenkhebel am Trägerkörper gelagert ist.The wiping textile is formed by a simple wiping cloth that is fixed to the bottom and top of the support body. To fix the wipe, a Velcro strip running transversely to the working direction is arranged on the underside of the support body and can be brought into engagement with the surface of the wipe. In addition, two recesses are arranged on both sides of the handle to fix the wipe on the support body on its upper side, in each of which the wipe is releasably clamped by a clamping body. Each clamping body is arranged at one end of a pivot lever, the pivot lever being mounted on the carrier body.

Beim Wischen ist das Wischtuch um die vordere Längsseite des Tragkörpers herumgeführt.When wiping, the wiping cloth is guided around the front longitudinal side of the support body.

Dabei ist allerdings zu beachten, dass das einfache Wischtuch keine zusätzlichen Befestigungseinrichtungen aufweist, die seine Festlegung am Tragkörper vereinfachen und/oder zuverlässiger machen würden.It should be noted, however, that the simple wiping cloth does not have any additional fastening devices that would simplify its attachment to the support body and / or make it more reliable.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel wird das Wischtuch durch einen Dorn eines Klemmkörpers in einer im Wesentlichen kongruenten Ausnehmung des Tragkörpers festgeklemmt. Eine solche Art der Befestigung setzt ein dafür geeignetes Wischtuch voraus, insbesondere ein Wischtuch aus einem geeigneten Material, weil das Wischtuch selbst auf die Haltbarkeit der Festlegung am Tragkörper unmittelbar Einfluss hat. Ist das Wischtuch beispielsweise zu dick und/oder weist außenumfangsseitig umlaufende Fransen auf, wird es nicht gelingen, dass die Verriegelung durch den Dorn in der Ausnehmung verschlossen werden kann.In the exemplary embodiment, the wiper is clamped by a mandrel of a clamping body in a substantially congruent recess in the support body. Such a type of attachment requires a suitable wipe, in particular a wipe made of a suitable material, because the wipe itself has a direct influence on the durability of the attachment to the support body. If the wiping cloth is too thick, for example, and / or has fringes running around the outer circumference, it will not be possible to lock the locking device in the recess by the mandrel.

Ist das Wischtuch demgegenüber sehr dünn, kann es passieren, dass die Klemmkraft der Verriegelung nicht ausreichend ist oder dass das Wischtuch beim Einführen des Dorns in die Ausnehmung durchstoßen und damit zerstört wird.If, on the other hand, the wiping cloth is very thin, it can happen that the clamping force of the lock is insufficient or that the wiping cloth is pierced when the mandrel is inserted into the recess and thus destroyed.

Weiter ist von Nachteil, dass das Wischtuch während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Wischgeräts um die vordere Längsseite des Tragköpers herumgeführt ist. Bei einer solchen Konstruktion muss ein entsprechend dafür geeignetes Wischtuch ausgewählt werden, das einerseits ausreichend stabil ist, um auch während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung in diesem Bereich nicht beschädigt zu werden und andererseits flexibel genug, um gut um die Kante herumgeführt und anschließend am Tragkörper befestigt werden zu können.A further disadvantage is that the wiping cloth is guided around the front longitudinal side of the supporting body during the intended use of the wiping device. With such a construction, a suitable wipe must be selected that is sufficiently stable on the one hand not to be damaged during normal use in this area and on the other hand flexible enough to be guided around the edge and then attached to the support body be able.

Die Auswahl geeigneter Wischtücher, die die zuvor genannten Vorgaben erfüllen, ist stark eingeschränkt.The selection of suitable wipes that meet the aforementioned requirements is severely limited.

Ein weiteres Wischgerät, das im Wesentlichen dem zuvor beschriebenen Wischgerät entspricht, ist aus der DE 84 34 817 U1 bekannt. Das Wischtextil ist durch ein einfaches Wischtuch gebildet, das randseitig am Tragkörper durch Halterungen befestigt ist. Die Halterungen sind als Klemmbacken ausgebildet und dadurch mit dem Tragkörper verbunden. Auch dieses Wischtuch weist keine zusätzlichen Befestigungseinrichtungen auf, durch die das Wischtuch haltbarer am Tragkörper befestigt werden könnte.Another wiper device, which essentially corresponds to the wiper device described above, is shown in FIG DE 84 34 817 U1 famous. The wiping textile is formed by a simple wiping cloth that is attached to the edge of the support body by brackets. The brackets are designed as clamping jaws and are thereby connected to the support body. This wiper also does not have any additional fastening devices by means of which the wiper could be fastened to the support body in a more durable manner.

Weitere Wischgeräte sind bekannt, bei denen der Tragkörper im Bereich seiner beiden Querseiten jeweils eine schwenkbare Befestigungsklemme aufweist, wobei die Befestigungsklemmen jeweils in einer Schwenkebene bewegbar sind. Die Schwenkebenen sind jeweils senkrecht zur Querachse des Tragkörpers angeordnet.Further wiping devices are known in which the support body has a pivotable fastening clamp in the region of its two transverse sides, the fastening clamps each being movable in a pivot plane. The pivot planes are each arranged perpendicular to the transverse axis of the support body.

Bei einer derartigen Anordnung und Schwenkbarkeit der Befestigungsklemmen ist hauptsächlich von Nachteil, dass die Breite der Befestigungsklemmen, bezogen auf die Breite des Tragkörpers, nur vergleichsweise gering ist. Dadurch können nur Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils aufgenommen werden, die ebenfalls relativ schmal ausgebildet sind, so dass das vorbekannte Wischgerät insgesamt nur mit einer unerwünscht stark eingeschränkten Anzahl von Wischtextilien betrieben werden kann. Außerdem besteht während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Wischgeräts die Gefahr, dass sich das am Tragkörper befestigte Wischtextil mit seinen Befestigungslaschen nach und nach aus den Befestigungsklemmen löst, insbesondere dann, wenn der Tragkörper als Tragkörper eines Flügelmopps ausgebildet ist und das Wischtextil U-förmig durchhängend in einer Auswringvorrichtung auswringbar ist.With such an arrangement and pivotability of the fastening clamps, the main disadvantage is that the width of the fastening clamps, based on the width of the support body, is only comparatively small. As a result, only fastening tabs of the mopping textile can be accommodated, which are also relatively narrow, so that the previously known mopping device can only be operated overall with an undesirably limited number of mopping textiles. In addition, when the mopping device is used as intended, there is a risk that the mopping fabric attached to the support body will gradually detach itself from the fastening clips with its fastening tabs, especially if the support body is designed as a support body of a wing mop and the mopping fabric is sagging in a U-shape Wringing device can be wringed out.

Die Gewichtskraft des Wischtextils verläuft parallel zur Schwenkebene der Befestigungsklemmen. Das ist insbesondere dann, wenn das Wischtextil nass ist, für eine zuverlässige Befestigung des Wischtextils am Tragkörper nachteilig.The weight of the wiping fabric runs parallel to the swivel plane of the fastening clamps. In particular, when the wiping fabric is wet, this is disadvantageous for reliable fastening of the wiping fabric on the support body.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wischgerät der vorbekannten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass unterschiedlich breite Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils besonders haltbar und sicher am Tragkörper befestigbar sind.The invention is based on the object of developing a mopping device of the previously known type in such a way that fastening straps of the mopping textile of different widths can be fastened to the support body in a particularly durable and secure manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Wischgerät nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a mopping device according to claim 1. The subclaims refer to advantageous configurations.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Wischtextil querseitig zumindest einerseits eine Befestigungslasche zur Befestigung an der entsprechenden Befestigungsklemme aufweist.To achieve the object, it is provided according to the invention that the wiping textile has, on the transverse side, at least one side, a fastening tab for fastening to the corresponding fastening clamp.

Unter "im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Tragkörpers" wird bevorzugt ein Bereich von ±45° verstanden, ausgehend von der Senkrechten der Schwenkebene.“Essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support body” is preferably understood to mean a range of ± 45 °, starting from the perpendicular of the pivot plane.

Durch die Schwenkbarkeit der Befestigungsklemme in einer Schwenkebene, die im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Tragkörpers angeordnet ist, besteht die Möglichkeit, die Befestigungsklemme in der Schwenkebene sehr breit auszubilden, so dass Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils mittels der Befestigungsklemme am Tragkörper zum Beispiel auch dann befestigbar sind, wenn die Befestigungslasche eine Breite aufweist, die beinahe der Breite des Tragkörpers entspricht. Der Tragkörper ist dadurch zur Aufnahme von Wischtextilien mit Befestigungslaschen unterschiedlichster Breite geeignet und kann dadurch sehr universell eingesetzt werden.Due to the pivotability of the fastening clamp in a swivel plane, which is arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support body, there is the possibility of designing the fastening clamp to be very wide in the swivel plane, so that fastening straps of the wiping textile can also be attached to the support body by means of the fastening clamp, for example, when the fastening tab has a width which almost corresponds to the width of the support body. The support body is therefore suitable for receiving wiping textiles with fastening straps of the most varied of widths and can therefore be used very universally.

Außerdem ist von Vorteil, dass sich die Befestigungslasche parallel zur Längsachse des Tragkörpers und senkrecht zur Schwenkebene der Befestigungsklemme erstreckt. Eine gute Haltbarkeit ist deshalb auch dann gewährleistet, wenn die Befestigungslasche durch die bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung des Wischgeräts Zugbelastungen ausgesetzt ist.It is also advantageous that the fastening tab extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support body and perpendicular to the pivot plane of the fastening clamp. A good durability is therefore also guaranteed if the fastening strap is exposed to tensile loads due to the intended use of the mopping device.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass am Tragkörper querseitig beiderseits jeweils eine schwenkbare Befestigungsklemme um jeweils ein Gelenk schwenkbar angeordnet ist, zur Befestigung von entsprechend querseitig beiderseits am Wischtextil angeordneten Befestigungslaschen und dass die beiden Befestigungklemmen in jeweils einer Schwenkebene, die im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Tragkörpers angeordnet sind, bewegbar sind.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that a pivotable fastening clamp is arranged on both sides of the support body so that it can be pivoted about a joint, for fastening fastening straps arranged correspondingly on both sides of the wiping fabric and that the two fastening clamps each in a pivot plane, which is essentially perpendicular are arranged to the longitudinal axis of the support body, are movable.

Die Befestigung eines Wischtextils durch zwei Befestigungslaschen an zwei Befestigungsklemmen des Tragkörpers ist besonders einfach. Außerdem ist ein Wischtextil mit zwei Befestigungslaschen einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar. Ist das Wischtextil symmetrisch zu seiner Querachse ausgebildet, ist die Gefahr von Montagefehlern bei dessen Befestigung am Tragkörper minimiert. Der Benutzer braucht praktisch nicht darauf zu achten, in welcher Richtung er das Wischtextil am Tragkörper festlegt.The fastening of a wiping textile by two fastening straps on two fastening clamps of the support body is particularly simple. In addition, a wiping textile with two fastening straps can be produced simply and inexpensively. If the wiping textile is designed symmetrically to its transverse axis, the risk of assembly errors when it is attached to the support body is minimized. The user practically does not need to pay attention to the direction in which he is fixing the wiping textile on the support body.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Wischtextil querseitig zumindest einerseits eine Befestigungstasche aufweist, die eine Querseite des Tragkörpers zumindest teilweise umschließt. Auf dieser Befestigungstasche kann die Befestigungslasche angeordnet sein. Dadurch hat der Benutzer des Wischgeräts die Wahl, ob der das Wischtextil querseitig einerseits durch die Befestigungstasche am Tragkörper befestigt und querseitig andererseits durch die Befestigungslasche oder ob er, wie zuvor beschrieben, die Befestigung des Wischtextils querseitig beiderseits durch die Befestigungslaschen mittels der Befestigungklemmen am Tragkörper vornimmt.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the wiping textile has a fastening pocket on the transverse side, at least on one side, which at least partially encloses a transverse side of the support body. The fastening tab can be arranged on this fastening pocket. As a result, the user of the mopping device has the choice of whether to fasten the mopping textile on the transverse side, on the one hand, through the fastening pocket on the support body and, on the other hand, on the transverse side, on the other hand, by means of the fastening tab, or, as described above, to fasten the mopping textile transversely on both sides using the fastening straps using the fastening clips on the support body .

Die Befestigungsklemmen können um Schwenkachsen der Gelenke schwenkbar angeordnet sein, wobei die Schwenkachsen der Gelenke im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Längsachsen des Tragkörpers angeordnet sind. Die Schwenkachsen erstrecken sich dadurch senkrecht zur Schwenkebene. Die Gelenke können, wie später noch ausgeführt wird, unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein.The fastening clamps can be arranged pivotably about pivot axes of the joints, the pivot axes of the joints being arranged essentially parallel to the longitudinal axes of the support body. The pivot axes thus extend perpendicular to the pivot plane. As will be explained later, the joints can be designed differently.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können in ihren Schwenkebenen um einen ersten Öffnungswinkel zwischen einer Offen- und einer Geschlossenstellung schwenkbar sein, wobei der erste Öffnungswinkel bevorzugt 45° bis 135° beträgt. Bei ersten Öffnungswinkeln, die kleiner als 90° sind, kann das Handling zur Befestigung des Wischtextils durch seine Befestigungslaschen am Tragkörper umso beschwerlicher sein, je breiter die Befestigungslaschen ausgebildet sind. Das Einfädeln der Befestigungslasche im Bereich des Gelenks der Befestigungsklemmen gestaltet sich bei kleinen ersten Öffnungswinkeln besonders mühsam.The fastening clamps can be pivotable in their pivot planes by a first opening angle between an open and a closed position, the first opening angle preferably being 45 ° to 135 °. In the case of first opening angles that are smaller than 90 °, the handling for fastening the wiping textile through its fastening tabs on the support body can be all the more difficult, the wider the fastening tabs are designed. The threading of the fastening tab in the area of the The hinge of the fastening clamps turns out to be particularly troublesome with small initial opening angles.

Öffnungswinkel größer als 135° sind insofern nachteilig, als zum Befestigen der Befestigungslaschen große Schwenkwinkel zurückzulegen sind und sich die Befestigungslaschen während dessen aus ihrer günstigen Position zwischen Befestigungklemmen und Tragkörper verschieben können.Opening angles greater than 135 ° are disadvantageous insofar as large swivel angles have to be covered to fasten the fastening tabs and the fastening tabs can move out of their favorable position between the fastening clamps and the support body during this.

Bevorzugt beträgt der erste Öffnungswinkel zumindest 90°. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass auch breite Befestigungslaschen durch senkrecht vom Tragkörper abstehende Befestigungsklemmen vom Benutzer einfach in den Klemmbereich zwischen Tragkörper und Befestigungsklemme einlegbar und anschließend befestigbar sind.The first opening angle is preferably at least 90 °. This ensures that even wide fastening straps can easily be inserted by the user into the clamping area between the carrier body and the fastening clamp and then fastened by fastening clips projecting perpendicularly from the support body.

Weiter bevorzugt kann der erste Öffnungswinkel 110° betragen. Ein solch großer Öffnungswinkel ist insbesondere für professionelle Anwendungen von hervorzuhebendem Vorteil, insbesondere dann, wenn der Benutzer mit Handschuhen arbeitet und ein Wechsel des Wischtextils besonders häufig und/oder zügig erfolgen muss.More preferably, the first opening angle can be 110 °. Such a large opening angle is of particular advantage for professional applications, in particular when the user works with gloves and the wiping textile has to be changed particularly frequently and / or quickly.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können zur Begrenzung ihrer ersten Öffnungswinkel in Offenstellung an jeweils einen Anschlag anlegbar sein. Durch den Anschlag nimmt die Befestigungsklemme in ihrer Offenstellung zum Tragkörper immer die gleiche, definierte Position ein, so dass die Handhabung des Wischgeräts, insbesondere dann, wenn ein Wischtextil, wie zuvor beschrieben, häufiger gewechselt wird, vereinfacht ist.In the open position, the fastening clamps can each be able to be placed against a stop in order to limit their first opening angle. As a result of the stop, the fastening clamp always assumes the same, defined position in its open position relative to the support body, so that the handling of the mopping device is simplified, in particular when a mopping textile is changed more frequently, as described above.

Die Handhabung des Wischgeräts kann dadurch weiter vereinfacht werden, dass die Gelenke der Befestigungsklemmen, zum Halten der Befestigungsklemmen in Offenstellung, jeweils zumindest eine Raststation aufweisen. In ihrer jeweiligen Raststation nehmen die Befestigungsklemmen eine definierte Position bezogen auf den Tragkörper ein. Die Raststationen begrenzen, im Gegensatz zu den zuvor beschriebenen Anschlägen, den Winkel der Offenstellung der Befestigungsklemmen bezogen auf den Tragkörper nicht absolut. Die Befestigungsklemmen können zum Beispiel bei Bewegung in Offenstellung über die Raststation hinaus bewegt werden. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass dadurch die Haltbarkeit des Wischgeräts verlängert werden kann, auch dann, wenn es in einem rauen, professionellen Betrieb zur Anwendung gelangt. Auch dann, wenn die Befestigungsklemmen über ihre jeweilige Raststation hinaus in Offenstellung bewegt werden, brechen die Befestigungsklemmen nicht ab.The handling of the mopping device can be further simplified in that the joints of the fastening clamps each have at least one latching station for holding the fastening clamps in the open position. Take the fastening clips in their respective rest stations a defined position in relation to the support body. In contrast to the stops described above, the locking stations do not absolutely limit the angle of the open position of the fastening clamps in relation to the support body. The fastening clamps can, for example, be moved beyond the latching station when moving in the open position. The advantage here is that the service life of the mopping device can be extended as a result, even if it is used in a harsh, professional operation. Even if the fastening clamps are moved into the open position beyond their respective locking station, the fastening clamps do not break off.

Außerdem pendeln die Befestigungsklemmen in Offenstellung durch ihre Positionierung in der Raststation nicht schwer kontrollierbar - und deshalb für den Benutzer nur schwer handhabbar - um das Gelenk herum. Zum Einklemmen der Befestigungslaschen werden die Befestigungsklemmen dann von der Offenstellung in der Raststation zurück in ihre Geschlossenstellung bewegt.In addition, in the open position, the fastening clamps swing around the joint in a manner that is not difficult to control due to their positioning in the rest station - and therefore difficult to handle for the user. To clamp the fastening straps, the fastening clamps are then moved from the open position in the latching station back into their closed position.

Gelangt zum Beispiel pro Befestigungsklemme nur eine Raststation zur Anwendung, kann diese einen zweiten Öffnungswinkel von 90° begrenzen. Für viele Anwendungsfälle ist eine Raststation mit einem solchen Öffnungswinkel gut geeignet.If, for example, only one locking station is used per fastening clamp, this can limit a second opening angle of 90 °. A rest station with such an opening angle is well suited for many applications.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Befestigungsklemmen jeweils zwei Raststationen aufweisen, die einen ersten zweiten Öffnungswinkel von 90° und einen zweiten zweiten Öffnungswinkel von 110° begrenzen. Je nach den Vorlieben des jeweiligen Benutzers, kann dieser die Befestigungsklemmen beim Wechsel eines Wischtextils in einer der beiden Raststationen arretieren.According to another embodiment, there is the possibility that the fastening clamps each have two locking stations which limit a first, second opening angle of 90 ° and a second, second opening angle of 110 °. Depending on the preferences of the respective user, he can lock the fastening clamps in one of the two locking stations when changing a wiping fabric.

Die Raststationen können durch jeweils eine federkraftbeaufschlagte Kugel gebildet sein, die in eine erste Vertiefung einschnappbar ist. Solche Raststationen weisen einen einfachen Aufbau auf, funktionieren während einer langen Gebrauchsdauer zuverlässig und gleichbleibend gut und sind kostengünstig herstellbar.The locking stations can each be formed by a spring-loaded ball which can be snapped into a first recess. Such rest stations have a simple structure, function reliably and consistently well over a long period of use and are inexpensive to manufacture.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können oberflächenbündig im Tragkörper angeordnet sein. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass das Wischgerät insgesamt eine glatte Oberfläche aufweist. Dadurch kann die Tragplatte mit geschlossenen Befestigungslaschen, wie zuvor bereits beschrieben, in Taschen auf der Oberseite eines Wischtextils problemlos eingeführt werden. Außerdem bewirkt die Oberflächenbündigkeit, dass sich auf der Oberfläche der Tragplatte und der Befestigungslaschen keine groben Verunreinigungen festsetzen. Leichte Verunreinigungen können problemlos abgewischt werden. Die Benutzung des Wischgeräts ist dadurch auch während einer langen Gebrauchsdauer besonders hygienisch.The fastening clamps can be arranged flush with the surface in the support body. The advantage here is that the mopping device as a whole has a smooth surface. As a result, the support plate with closed fastening straps, as already described above, can be inserted into pockets on the upper side of a wiping textile without any problems. In addition, the flush surface ensures that no coarse dirt accumulates on the surface of the support plate and the fastening straps. Light soiling can be easily wiped off. The use of the mopping device is therefore particularly hygienic even during a long period of use.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können auf ihren dem jeweiligen Gelenk abgewandten Seiten jeweils einen Griff aufweisen. Durch den Griff ist die Handhabung beim Befestigen des Wischtextils am Tragkörper oder bei Entfernung des Wischtextils vom Tragkörper vereinfacht. Durch den Griff ist dem Benutzer klar, an welcher Stelle der Befestigungsklemme er anfassen muss, um die Befestigungsklemmen möglichst leicht schließen oder öffnen zu können.The fastening clamps can each have a handle on their sides facing away from the respective joint. The handle simplifies handling when attaching the wiping fabric to the support body or when removing the wiping fabric from the support body. The handle makes it clear to the user at which point of the fastening clamp he has to grip in order to be able to close or open the fastening clamps as easily as possible.

Die Breite der Befestigungsklemmen entspricht bevorzugt im Wesentlichen der Breite des Tragkörpers. Solange die Breite der Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils etwas kleiner als die Breite des Tragkörpers ist, lassen sich die Befestigungslaschen durch die breiten Befestigungsklemmen sicher am Tragkörper befestigen. Durch die Möglichkeit, besonders breite Befestigungslaschen durch die Befestigungsklemmen am Tragkörper befestigen zu können, kann das Wischgerät mit einer großen Anzahl unterschiedlicher Wischtextilien betrieben werden. Unterschiedliche Breiten von Befestigungslaschen verschiedener Wischtextilien schränken die Vielseitigkeit des Wischgeräts nicht ein, wobei die Breite der zu klemmenden Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils nur durch die Breite des Abstands zwischen dem Gelenk und dem Griff der Befestigungklemmen begrenzt ist.The width of the fastening clamps preferably corresponds essentially to the width of the support body. As long as the width of the fastening tabs of the wiping textile is slightly smaller than the width of the support body, the fastening tabs can be securely fastened to the support body by the wide fastening clips. With the option of being particularly broad To be able to attach fastening straps to the support body through the fastening clamps, the mopping device can be operated with a large number of different mopping textiles. Different widths of fastening tabs of different mopping textiles do not limit the versatility of the mopping device, the width of the fastening tabs of the mopping textile to be clamped being limited only by the width of the distance between the hinge and the handle of the fastening clips.

Die Gelenke können jeweils im Bereich einer Längsseite des Tragkörpers und die Griffe im Bereich der in Querrichtung gegenüberliegenden anderen Längsseite des Tragkörpers angeordnet sein. Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung ist der Hebel zum Öffnen und Schließen der Befestigungsklemmen größtmöglich. Die Handhabung des Wischgeräts ist dadurch auch dann vereinfacht, wenn größere Kräfte zum Einrasten der Befestigungsklemmen in Geschlossenstellung oder zum Öffnen der Befestigungsklemmen aufgebracht werden müssen.The joints can each be arranged in the region of a longitudinal side of the support body and the handles in the region of the other longitudinal side of the support body which is opposite in the transverse direction. With such a configuration, the lever for opening and closing the fastening clamps is as large as possible. The handling of the mopping device is thereby also simplified when greater forces have to be applied to engage the fastening clamps in the closed position or to open the fastening clamps.

Die Befestigungklemmen können in ihrer Geschlossenstellung mit dem Tragkörper formschlüssig verbunden sein. Formschlüssige Verbindungen, zum Beispiel Rastverbindungen, sind einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar. Im Gegensatz zu lösbaren kraftschlüssigen Verbindungen weisen lösbare formschlüssige Verbindungen bessere Gebrauchseigenschaften während einer längeren Gebrauchsdauer auf. Insbesondere reagieren lösbare formschlüssige Verbindungen weniger empfindlich auf Verunreinigungen. Bei Wischgeräten ist eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Befestigungsklemmen und dem Tragkörper deshalb besonders vorteilhaft.The fastening clamps can be positively connected to the support body in their closed position. Positive connections, for example locking connections, can be produced simply and inexpensively. In contrast to releasable force-fit connections, releasable form-fit connections have better usage properties over a longer period of use. In particular, releasable form-fitting connections are less sensitive to contamination. In the case of mopping devices, a form-fitting connection between the fastening clamps and the support body is therefore particularly advantageous.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Griffe der Befestigungsklemmen jeweils eine Rastnase aufweisen, die jeweils hinter einen Rastvorsprung in der jeweiligen Längsseite des Tragkörpers einrastbar sind. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung liegt die Rastnase maximal entfernt vom Gelenk der Befestigungsklemmen. Der Hebel sowohl zum Öffnen als auch zum Schließen der Rastverbindung ist deshalb maximal.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the handles of the fastening clamps each have a locking lug, each behind a locking projection in the respective longitudinal side of the support body are lockable. In such a configuration, the locking lug is at a maximum distance from the joint of the fastening clamps. The lever for both opening and closing the latching connection is therefore maximal.

Weiter kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Rastnasen oberflächenbündig in der der zu reinigenden Fläche zugewandten Unterseite des Tragkörpers angeordnet sind. Durch die oberflächenbündige Integration der Rastnasen in der Unterseite des Tragkörpers werden unerwünschte Vorsprünge zwischen der Unterseite des Tragkörpers und der Oberseite des Wischtextils vermieden. Die glatte Unterseite des Tragkörpers überträgt deshalb den Anpressdruck des Benutzers gleichmäßig auf das Wischtextil und dadurch auf die zu reinigende Fläche.It can further be provided that the locking lugs are arranged flush with the surface in the underside of the support body facing the surface to be cleaned. The surface-flush integration of the locking lugs in the underside of the support body prevents unwanted protrusions between the underside of the support body and the top of the wiping fabric. The smooth underside of the support body therefore transfers the pressure of the user evenly to the wiping fabric and thus to the surface to be cleaned.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Griffe der Befestigungsklemmen in Längsrichtung des Tragkörpers beiderseits jeweils eine Rastnase aufweisen, die hinter jeweils einem Rastvorsprung des Tragkörpers einrastbar sind. Die entsprechende Längsseite des Tragkörpers braucht bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung von den Rastnasen nicht umgriffen zu sein. Einfluss auf die Unterseite des Tragkörpers haben solche Rastnasen nicht.According to another embodiment, it can be provided that the handles of the fastening clamps in the longitudinal direction of the support body each have a latching lug on both sides, which can be latched behind a latching projection of the support body. The corresponding longitudinal side of the support body does not need to be encompassed by the latching lugs in such a configuration. Such locking lugs do not have any influence on the underside of the support body.

Der Tragkörper kann im Bereich seiner Längskanten zur Arretierung der Befestigungsklemmen jeweils eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, die sich parallel zur der jeweiligen Längskante erstrecken, wobei in die Ausnehmung Rastnasen der Befestigungsklemmen einrastbar sind. Die Längskanten des Tragkörpers erstrecken sich durchgängig. Auch die Ausnehmungen sind deshalb von den Längskanten begrenzt, ebenso wie die in den Ausnehmungen angeordneten Rastnasen. Auch dann, wenn das Wischgerät zum Beispiel direkt an Fußleisten bewegt wird, berühren die Fußleisten die Rastnasen nicht, sondern nur die Längskanten, die die Rastnasen in diesem Fall vor mechanischen Einflüssen schützen. Die Gefahr, dass sich die Rastnasen unerwünscht lösen und die Befestigungsklemmen dadurch unbeabsichtigt die Befestigungslaschen freigeben, ist durch eine solche Ausgestaltung auf ein Minimum begrenzt.In the region of its longitudinal edges, the support body can each have a recess for locking the fastening clamps, said recess extending parallel to the respective longitudinal edge, with latching lugs of the fastening clamps being able to be latched into the recess. The longitudinal edges of the support body extend continuously. The recesses are therefore also limited by the longitudinal edges, as are the latching lugs arranged in the recesses. Even if the mopping device is moved, for example, directly on the baseboards, the baseboards do not touch the latching lugs, but only the longitudinal edges, which in this case protect the latching lugs from mechanical influences protect. The risk of the latching lugs loosening undesirably and the fastening clamps thereby unintentionally exposing the fastening tabs is limited to a minimum by such a configuration.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können durch jeweils eine Druckknopfverbindung am Tragkörper festlegbar sein. Druckknopfverbindungen sind einfach und haltbar und der Benutzer kann während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Wischgeräts auf einen Blick sofort erkennen, ob die Druckknopfverbindung korrekt verriegelt ist.The fastening clamps can each be fixed to the support body by means of a snap fastener connection. Push-button connections are simple and durable and the user can immediately see at a glance whether the push-button connection is correctly locked while the mopping device is being used as intended.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Griffe der Befestigungsklemmen eine Länge in Richtung der Längsseiten des Tragkörpers aufweisen, die 2 cm bis 4 cm beträgt. Die genannte Länge entspricht der Breite von zwei oder drei aneinander gelegten Fingern des Benutzers. Durch die Betätigung der Befestigungsklemmen durch zwei oder drei Finger ist die Belastung pro Finger minimiert. Würde zum Betätigen der Befestigungsklemmen nur ein Finger benutzt und der Griff würde eine entsprechend geringe Länge aufweisen, wäre die Handhabung des Wischgeräts deutlich erschwert, insbesondere dann, wenn das zur Anwendung gelangende Wischtextil häufig gewechselt werden muss.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the handles of the fastening clamps have a length in the direction of the longitudinal sides of the support body which is 2 cm to 4 cm. The length mentioned corresponds to the width of two or three fingers of the user placed next to one another. By operating the fastening clips with two or three fingers, the load per finger is minimized. If only one finger were used to actuate the fastening clamps and the handle would have a correspondingly short length, the handling of the mopping device would be significantly more difficult, especially if the mopping textile used has to be changed frequently.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können gegengleich zueinander angeordnet sein, wobei eine der Befestigungsklemmen an der einen Längsseite des Tragkörpers um die Schwenkachse ihres Gelenks schwenkbar und die andere Befestigungsklemme an der anderen Längsseite des Tragkörpers um die Schwenkachse ihres Gelenks schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Eine solche Anordnung der Befestigungsklemmen wird als "gegengleich" bezeichnet. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass beide Befestigungsklemmen vom Benutzer zum Beispiel von rechts nach links um ihr jeweiliges Gelenk schwenkbar in Offenstellung bringbar sind. Dazu hält der Benutzer die Tragplatte senkrecht vor sich und löst/befestigt zunächst die obere Befestigungsklemme. Ist das erledigt, dreht der Benutzer den Tragkörper 180° um die Achse des Stiels des Wischgeräts, so dass der nun obere Niederhalter ebenfalls von rechts nach links um das Gelenk schwenkbar in Offenstellung bringbar ist. Die gegengleich zueinander angeordneten Befestigungsklemmen vereinfachen die Handhabung des Wischgeräts.The fastening clamps can be arranged opposite to each other, one of the fastening clamps on one longitudinal side of the support body being pivotable about the pivot axis of its joint and the other fastening clip being arranged pivotably on the other longitudinal side of the support body about the pivot axis of its joint. Such an arrangement of the fastening clips is referred to as "opposite to one another". The advantage here is that the user can bring both fastening clamps into the open position so that they can be pivoted from right to left about their respective joint. To do this, the user holds the support plate in front of it vertically and first loosens / attaches the upper fastening clamp. Once this is done, the user rotates the support body 180 ° around the axis of the handle of the mopping device, so that the now upper hold-down device can also be brought into the open position so that it can be pivoted from right to left around the joint. The fastening clamps, which are arranged opposite one another, simplify the handling of the mopping device.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass zumindest ein Gelenk durch ein Filmscharnier gebildet ist, das einstückig ineinander übergehend und materialeinheitlich mit der Befestigungsklemme und/oder dem Tragkörper ausgebildet ist. Ein Filmscharnier ist konstruktiv besonders einfach und das Wischgerät weist insgesamt einen teilearmen Aufbau auf. Das Filmscharnier kann zum Beispiel aus einem elastisch nachgiebigen polymeren Werkstoff bestehen und folienartig dünn ausgebildet sein.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that at least one joint is formed by a film hinge which merges into one another in one piece and is formed from the same material as the fastening clamp and / or the support body. A film hinge is structurally particularly simple and the wiper device has an overall construction with few parts. The film hinge can consist, for example, of an elastically flexible polymer material and be made thin in the manner of a film.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung kann zumindest ein Gelenk durch Achsstummel der entsprechenden Befestigungsklemme gebildet sein, wobei jeweils ein Achsstummel in Längsrichtung des Tragkörpers einerseits und ein Achsstummel in Längsrichtung des Tragkörpers andererseits angeordnet ist und dass die Achsstummel in kongruent gestalteten Ausnehmungen des Tragkörpers drehbar gelagert sind. Auch ein solches Wischgerät weist einen teilearmen Aufbau auf. Für das Gelenk bedarf es keiner zusätzlichen Bauteile. Die Achsstummel bilden Bestandteile der Befestigungsklemme und die Ausnehmungen sind im Tragkörper angeordnet. Durch den teilearmen Aufbau weist das Wischgerät, ebenso wie das zuvor beschriebene Wischgerät, bei dem das Gelenk durch ein Filmscharnier gebildet ist, nur ein geringes Gewicht auf.According to another embodiment, at least one joint can be formed by stub axles of the corresponding fastening clamp, with one stub axle being arranged in the longitudinal direction of the supporting body on the one hand and one stub axle being arranged in the longitudinal direction of the supporting body on the other hand, and that the stub axles are rotatably mounted in congruent recesses of the supporting body. Such a wiper device also has a construction with few parts. No additional components are required for the joint. The stub axles form components of the fastening clamp and the recesses are arranged in the support body. Due to the low-number of parts, the mopping device, like the mopping device described above, in which the joint is formed by a film hinge, is only light in weight.

Die Achsstummel und/oder die Ausnehmungen, in denen sie angeordnet sind, können eine erste Oberflächenprofilierung mit erhöhtem Reibungskoeffizient aufweisen. Der erhöhte Reibungskoeffizient ist dabei derart bemessen, dass die Befestigungsklemmen durch Selbsthemmung in Zwischenstellungen zwischen Offenstellung und Geschlossenstellung in ihrer jeweiligen Position gehalten werden, unabhängig davon, wie der Benutzer die Tragplatte hält. Die Befestigungsklemmen bewegen sich nicht allein durch ihr Eigengewicht. Bevorzugt werden die Achsstummel mit der ersten Oberflächenprofilierung versehen, weil sich Achsen leichter als Bohrungen mit einer Oberflächenprofilierung versehen lassen.The stub axles and / or the recesses in which they are arranged can have a first surface profile with an increased coefficient of friction exhibit. The increased coefficient of friction is dimensioned in such a way that the fastening clamps are held in their respective position by self-locking in intermediate positions between the open position and the closed position, regardless of how the user holds the support plate. The fastening clamps do not move by their own weight alone. The stub axles are preferably provided with the first surface profiling, because axles can be provided with a surface profiling more easily than bores.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass zumindest ein Gelenk durch eine separat hergestellte Achse gebildet ist, die von der Befestigungsklemme schwenkbar umgriffen und im Tragkörper gelagert ist. Die Achse kann dabei zum Beispiel aus einem rostfreien metallischen Werkstoff bestehen. Dadurch ist die Achse beständig gegen Feuchtigkeit und bewirkt auch nach einer langen Gebrauchsdauer des Wischgeräts eine einwandfreie Schwenkbarkeit der Befestigungsklemmen um die jeweiligen Achsen.According to another embodiment, it can be provided that at least one joint is formed by a separately manufactured axle, which the fastening clamp engages around pivotably and is mounted in the support body. The axis can for example consist of a rust-free metallic material. As a result, the axis is resistant to moisture and, even after a long period of use of the mopping device, ensures that the fastening clamps can be swiveled perfectly about the respective axes.

Die Achse und/oder die die Achsen umschließende Befestigungsklemme können eine zweite Oberflächenprofilierung mit einem erhöhten Reibungskoeffizient aufweisen. Wie zuvor beschrieben, wird dadurch eine nur schwer kontrollierbare Bewegung der offenen Befestigungsklemmen vermieden. Die Befestigungsklemmen können dadurch durch Selbsthemmung in Zwischenstellungen zwischen Offenstellung und Geschlossenstellung in ihrer jeweiligen Position gehalten werden. Die Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils können dadurch bequem zwischen den Befestigungsklemmen und dem Tragkörper positioniert und anschließend befestigt werden.The axis and / or the fastening clamp enclosing the axes can have a second surface profile with an increased coefficient of friction. As described above, this prevents movement of the open fastening clamps that is difficult to control. The fastening clamps can thereby be held in their respective positions by self-locking in intermediate positions between the open position and the closed position. The fastening tabs of the wiping fabric can thus be conveniently positioned between the fastening clamps and the support body and then fastened.

Aus diesem Grund ist es von Vorteil, dass zumindest ein Gelenk und die damit verbundene Befestigungsklemme selbsthemmend ausgebildet sind.For this reason, it is advantageous that at least one joint and the fastening clamp connected to it are designed to be self-locking.

Der Tragkörper weist den Befestigungsklemmen zugewandte erste Klemmflächen auf, wobei die Befestigungsklemmen dem Tragkörper zugewandte zweite Klemmflächen aufweisen. Die Ausgestaltung der Klemmflächen hat Einfluss auf die Haltbarkeit der Befestigung der Befestigungslaschen zwischen dem Tragkörper und den Befestigungsklemmen.The support body has first clamping surfaces facing the fastening clips, the fastening clips having second clamping surfaces facing the support body. The design of the clamping surfaces has an influence on the durability of the fastening of the fastening straps between the support body and the fastening clamps.

Die ersten und/oder die zweiten Klemmflächen können Elemente zur Erhöhung der Klemmkraft aufweisen. Insbesondere dann, wenn der Tragkörper um eine in Längsrichtung mittig angeordnete Querachse klappbar ist, wobei ein nasses und deshalb schweres Wischtextil dann im Wesentlichen senkrecht nach unten hängt, sind Elemente zur Erhöhung der Klemmkraft von hervorzuhebendem Vorteil.The first and / or the second clamping surfaces can have elements for increasing the clamping force. Particularly when the support body can be folded about a transverse axis arranged centrally in the longitudinal direction, with a wet and therefore heavy wiping textile then hanging essentially vertically downwards, elements for increasing the clamping force are of particular advantage.

Die Elemente der ersten und/oder zweiten Klemmflächen können durch eine Profilierung gebildet sein. Durch eine solche Profilierung kann sich eine formschlüssige Verbindung der Befestigungslaschen mit dem Tragkörper und/oder den Befestigungsklemmen ergeben.The elements of the first and / or second clamping surfaces can be formed by profiling. Such a profiling can result in a form-fitting connection of the fastening straps with the support body and / or the fastening clamps.

Die Profilierungen können durch Erhöhungen oder Vertiefungen in den ersten Klemmflächen gebildet sein, die unter Zwischenfügung der Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils in Vertiefungen oder Erhöhungen der zweiten Klemmflächen angeordnet sind. Durch diese Profilierungen ergibt sich eine besonders haltbare Verkrallung der Befestigungslaschen zwischen dem Tragkörper und den Befestigungsklemmen.The profiles can be formed by elevations or depressions in the first clamping surfaces, which are arranged in depressions or elevations of the second clamping surfaces with the interposition of the fastening tabs of the wiping textile. This profiling results in a particularly durable clawing of the fastening tabs between the support body and the fastening clamps.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die Profilierungen gerändelt ausgebildet sein.Additionally or alternatively, the profiles can be knurled.

Die Profilierungen können durch Nadeln gebildet sein, die - ausgehend von den Befestigungsklemmen oder dem Tragkörper - in ein Nadelkissen des Tragkörpers oder der Befestigungsklemmen unter Durchdringung der Befestigungslaschen des Wischbezugs eingreifen. Dadurch, dass die Nadeln die Befestigungslaschen durchdringen und im Nadelkissen aufgenommen sind, ist die Befestigung der Befestigungslaschen zwischen dem Tragkörper und den Befestigungsklemmen formschlüssig und besonders haltbar. Daraus resultiert eine sichere Festlegung des Wischtextils mittels der Befestigungslaschen, auch dann, wenn die Belastungen der Befestigungslaschen auf Zug etwas größer sind.The profiles can be formed by needles which - starting from the fastening clamps or the support body - in a pin cushion of the support body or the fastening clamps penetrating the Engage the fastening tabs of the mop cover. Because the needles penetrate the fastening tabs and are received in the pin cushion, the fastening of the fastening tabs between the support body and the fastening clamps is form-fitting and particularly durable. This results in a secure fixing of the wiping fabric by means of the fastening straps, even if the stresses on the fastening straps are somewhat greater in tension.

Zusätzlich zu den zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungen oder alternativ dazu besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die ersten und/oder die zweiten Klemmflächen gummiert sind. Durch die gummierten Klemmflächen wird ebenfalls die Reibung erhöht und die Haltbarkeit der Befestigung der Befestigungslaschen zwischen Tragkörper und Befestigungsklemmen maximiert.In addition to the embodiments described above or as an alternative thereto, there is the possibility that the first and / or the second clamping surfaces are rubberized. The rubberized clamping surfaces also increase the friction and maximize the durability of the fastening of the fastening straps between the support body and fastening clamps.

Die Befestigungsklemmen können in Richtung der jeweiligen Querseite des Tragkörpers vorgewölbt ausgebildet sein. Die Vorwölbung ist zum Beispiel bogenförmig. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass das Gelenk und der Griff von der Querseite des Tragkörpers etwas zurückversetzt angeordnet sind. Das Gelenk und der Griff sind deshalb auch dann vor unerwünschten äußeren Einflüssen geschützt, wenn die Querseiten des Tragkörpers beim Reinigen, also während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Wischgeräts, zum Beispiel direkt bis an die Wände oder Fußleisten geführt werden. Dennoch können durch die vorgewölbte Gestalt der Befestigungsklemmen auch besonders kurze Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils sicher mit dem Tragkörper verbunden werden.The fastening clamps can be arched in the direction of the respective transverse side of the support body. For example, the protrusion is arcuate. It is thereby achieved that the joint and the handle are arranged somewhat set back from the transverse side of the support body. The joint and the handle are therefore also protected from undesirable external influences when the transverse sides of the support body are guided, for example, directly up to the walls or baseboards during cleaning, i.e. during the intended use of the mopping device. Nevertheless, the arched shape of the fastening clamps means that particularly short fastening straps of the wiping textile can also be securely connected to the support body.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der Tragkörper zur oberflächenbündigen Aufnahme der Befestigungslaschen des Wischtextils im Wesentlichen parallel zur Längsachse des Tragkörpers beiderseits der Befestigungsklemmen muldenförmige zweite Vertiefungen aufweist, wobei die zweiten Vertiefungen jeweils eine Tiefe aufweisen, die im Wesentlichen der Dicke der Befestigungslaschen entspricht. Während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Wischgeräts liegen die geklemmten Befestigungslaschen oberflächenbündig in den Vertiefungen. Die Befestigungslaschen stehen dadurch nicht über die Oberfläche des Tragkörpers hervor und Verunreinigungen können sich dadurch in diesem Bereich nur schwer festsetzen. Die Hygiene ist dadurch verbessert und die Gefahr des Hängenbleibens durch von der Oberfläche abstehende Befestigungslaschen ist auf ein Minimum reduziert.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the support body for receiving the fastening tabs of the wiping textile flush with the surface is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support body on both sides of the fastening clamps with trough-shaped second depressions having, wherein the second depressions each have a depth which corresponds substantially to the thickness of the fastening tabs. During the intended use of the mopping device, the clamped fastening straps are flush with the surface in the recesses. As a result, the fastening tabs do not protrude beyond the surface of the support body and it is difficult for contaminants to settle in this area. This improves hygiene and the risk of getting caught by fastening straps protruding from the surface is reduced to a minimum.

Außerdem betrifft die Erfindung einen Tragkörper für ein Wischgerät wie zuvor beschrieben, wobei die zumindest eine Befestigungsklemme in einer Schwenkebene, die im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Tragkörpers angeordnet ist, bewegbar ist. Ein solcher Tragkörper kann die unterschiedlichsten Wischtextilien mit unterschiedlich langen und/oder breiten Befestigungslaschen besonders haltbar aufnehmen.The invention also relates to a support body for a mopping device as described above, the at least one fastening clamp being movable in a pivot plane which is arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support body. Such a support body can hold the most varied of wiping textiles with fastening tabs of different lengths and / or widths in a particularly durable manner.

Ausführung der ErfindungImplementation of the invention

In jedem der Ausführungsbeispiele ist ein Wischgerät gezeigt, das einen Tragkörper 1 und ein Wischtextil 6 umfasst, die lösbar miteinander verbunden sind. Der Tragkörper 1 ist rechteckförmig ausgebildet und hat eine Längsachse 71 und zwei Längsseiten 2, 3. In Längsrichtung mittig ist die Querachse 72 gezeigt. Im Bereich der beiden Querseiten 4, 5 ist das Wischtextil 6 lösbar befestigt.In each of the exemplary embodiments, a mopping device is shown which comprises a support body 1 and a mopping textile 6, which are detachably connected to one another. The support body 1 is rectangular and has a longitudinal axis 71 and two longitudinal sides 2, 3. The transverse axis 72 is shown in the middle in the longitudinal direction. In the area of the two transverse sides 4, 5, the wiping textile 6 is releasably attached.

Das Wischgerät hat querseitig beiderseits schwenkbare Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8, die um Gelenke 11, 12 schwenkbar angeordnet sind. Zur Befestigung von entsprechend querseitig beiderseits am Wischtextil 6 angeordneten Befestigungslaschen 13, 14 sind die beiden Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 vorgesehen, die Schwenkebenen 73, 74 aufweisen, die im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse 71 des Tragkörpers 1 angeordnet sind.The mopping device has fastening clamps 7, 8 which can be pivoted on both sides and which are arranged such that they can pivot about joints 11, 12. The two fastening clamps 7, 8, which have pivot planes 73, 74 which are arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 71 of the support body 1, are provided for fastening fastening tabs 13, 14 arranged on both sides of the wiping fabric 6 on both sides.

Auf einer Seite des Tragkörpers 1 ist die Befestigungsklemme 7 mit ihrer Schwenkebene 73 gezeigt, wobei sich die Befestigungsklemme 7 in einer Geschlossenstellung 18 befindet. Demgegenüber ist die andere Befestigungsklemme 8 in Offenstellung 17 gezeigt, wobei die Befestigungsklemme 8 um ihre Schwenkebene 74 schwenkbar ist.On one side of the support body 1, the fastening clamp 7 is shown with its pivot plane 73, the fastening clamp 7 being in a closed position 18. In contrast, the other fastening clamp 8 is shown in the open position 17, the fastening clamp 8 being pivotable about its pivot plane 74.

Der erste Öffnungswinkel 15, 16 beträgt in den hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen jeweils etwa 110°. Dadurch können die Befestigungslaschen 13, 14 besonders einfach zwischen dem Tragkörper 1 und den Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 befestigt werden.The first opening angle 15, 16 in the exemplary embodiments shown here is in each case approximately 110 °. As a result, the fastening tabs 13, 14 can be fastened particularly easily between the support body 1 and the fastening clamps 7, 8.

Von hervorzuhebendem Vorteil ist die oberflächenbündige Anordnung der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 im Tragkörper 1, wenn sich die Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 in Geschlossenstellung befinden. Durch diese oberflächenbündige Anordnung im Tragkörper 1 können die Querseiten 4, 5 des Tragkörpers 1 bedarfsweise problemlos in querseitig beiderseits auf dem Wischtextil 6 angeordneten Taschen eingeschoben werden. Außerdem ist ein solches Wischgerät besonders einfach zu reinigen. Es bestehen keine Schmutzecken, was aus hygienischer Sicht vorteilhaft ist.An advantage to be emphasized is the flush-surface arrangement of the fastening clamps 7, 8 in the support body 1 when the fastening clamps 7, 8 are in the closed position. As a result of this surface-flush arrangement in the support body 1, the transverse sides 4, 5 of the support body 1 can, if necessary, be pushed into pockets arranged on both sides of the wiping fabric 6 without any problems. In addition, such a mopping device is particularly easy to clean. There are no dirty corners, which is beneficial from a hygienic point of view.

Die Breite 33 der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 entspricht in den hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen im Wesentlichen der Breite 34 des Tragkörpers 1, wobei jede Befestigungsklemme 7, 8 auf ihren dem jeweiligen Gelenk 11, 12 abgewandten Seiten jeweils einen Griff 31, 32 aufweist. Die Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 sind gegengleich zueinander angeordnet. Die Griffe 31, 32 bilden einen einstückigen Bestandteil der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 und haben eine Breite 47 in Richtung der Längsseiten 2, 3 des Tragkörpers 1, die 2 cm bis 4 cm beträgt. Die Betätigung der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 ist dadurch für den Benutzer einfach möglich, indem er zum Beispiel drei Finger zur Betätigung der Befestigungklemmen 7, 8 benutzt.In the exemplary embodiments shown here, the width 33 of the fastening clamps 7, 8 essentially corresponds to the width 34 of the support body 1, with each fastening clamp 7, 8 having a handle 31, 32 on its sides facing away from the respective joint 11, 12. The fastening clamps 7, 8 are arranged opposite one another. The handles 31, 32 form an integral part of the fastening clamps 7, 8 and have a width 47 in the direction of the longitudinal sides 2, 3 of the support body 1, which is 2 cm to 4 cm. The operation of the fastening clamps 7, 8 is thus easily possible for the user by using three fingers to operate the fastening clamps 7, 8, for example.

Die Gelenke 11, 12 und die damit verbundenen Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 sind in den hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen selbsthemmend ausgebildet, um eine nur schwer kontrollierbare Hin- und Herbewegung der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 um die Gelenke 11, 12 in Offenstellung 17 zu verhindern.The joints 11, 12 and the fastening clamps 7, 8 connected to them are designed to be self-locking in the exemplary embodiments shown here in order to prevent the back and forth movement of the Fastening clamps 7, 8 to prevent the joints 11, 12 in the open position 17.

Zur Erhöhung der Klemmkraft zwischen den ersten 61, 62 und zweiten Klemmflächen 63, 64 sind Elemente vorgesehen, die durch die Profilierung 65, 66 gebildet ist. Die Profilierungen 65, 66 können durch Erhöhungen oder Vertiefungen in den ersten Klemmflächen 61, 62 gebildet sein, die unter Zwischenfügung der Befestigungslaschen 13, 14 des Wischtextils 6 in Vertiefungen oder Erhöhungen der zweiten Klemmflächen 63, 64 angeordnet sind. Die Klemmflächen 61, 62, 63, 64 können zum Beispiel zusätzlich oder alternativ gummiert sein.To increase the clamping force between the first 61, 62 and second clamping surfaces 63, 64, elements are provided which are formed by the profiling 65, 66. The profiles 65, 66 can be formed by elevations or depressions in the first clamping surfaces 61, 62, which are arranged in depressions or elevations of the second clamping surfaces 63, 64 with the interposition of the fastening tabs 13, 14 of the wiping textile 6. The clamping surfaces 61, 62, 63, 64 can, for example, additionally or alternatively be rubberized.

Zusätzlich zu der oberflächenbündigen Anordnung der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 im Tragkörper 1 ist es vorteilhaft, wenn auch die Befestigungslaschen 13, 14 des Wischtextils 6 oberflächenbündig im Tragkörper 1 aufgenommen sind. Dazu sind im Wesentlichen parallel zur Längsachse 71 des Tragkörpers 1 beiderseits der Befestigungsklemmen 7, 8 muldenförmige zweite Vertiefungen 69, 70 vorgesehen, wobei die zweiten Vertiefungen 69, 70 jeweils eine Tiefe aufweisen, die der Dicke der Befestigungslaschen 13, 14 entspricht.In addition to the surface-flush arrangement of the fastening clamps 7, 8 in the support body 1, it is advantageous if the fastening tabs 13, 14 of the wiping textile 6 are also received in the support body 1 so that they are flush with the surface. For this purpose, trough-shaped second depressions 69, 70 are provided essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis 71 of the support body 1 on both sides of the fastening clamps 7, 8, the second depressions 69, 70 each having a depth that corresponds to the thickness of the fastening tabs 13, 14.
