Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flachwischbezug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a flat mop cover according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die DE 20 2004 021 372 U1 offenbart einen Flachwischbezug, dessen Trägermaterial aus Mikrofasermaterial hergestellt ist. Aus der DE 31 39 245 A1 ist eine Textilbespannung bekannt, die nach außen weisende Florfäden aufweist. Aus der US 3,713,744 A ist ein Wischbezughalter mit einem abgerundeten Bereich bekannt.The DE 20 2004 021 372 U1 discloses a flat mop cover whose carrier material is made of microfiber material. From the DE 31 39 245 A1 For example, a textile fabric is known which has outwardly facing pile yarns. From the US 3,713,744 A is a mop cover holder with a rounded area known.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Flachwischbezüge bekannt, welche auf sogenannte Flachwischer aufgezogen und zur Reinigung von Flächen eingesetzt werden. Die Flachwischbezüge werden insbesondere zur Reinigung von Fußböden eingesetzt.Flat mop covers are known from the prior art, which are mounted on so-called flat wipers and used for cleaning surfaces. The flat mop covers are used in particular for cleaning floors.

Ein solcher Flachwischbezug ist beispielsweise in der deutschen Patentanmeldung mit dem Aktenzeichen DE 10 2011 107 648.8 offenbart.Such a flat mop cover is for example in the German patent application with the file number DE 10 2011 107 648.8 disclosed.

Solche Flachwischbezüge sind allerdings nur wenig geeignet, Bereiche und Ecken zu reinigen, welche sich an die vornehmlich zu reinigenden relativ großen Flächen, insbesondere an Bodenflächen, anschließen.However, such flat mop covers are only slightly suitable to clean areas and corners, which adjoin the primarily to be cleaned relatively large areas, especially on bottom surfaces.

Ein solcher Bereich kann beispielsweise ein gefliester Sockel sein, der einen gefliesten Fußboden säumt.Such an area may be, for example, a tiled pedestal lining a tiled floor.

Reinigungspersonal würde mit den bekannten Flachwischbezügen einen solchen Sockel nicht reinigen.Cleaning staff would not clean with the known flat mop covers such a socket.

Entweder verbliebe der Flachwischbezug flach auf dem Boden, wobei nur die schmalen Randbereiche des Flachwischbezug in Kontakt mit den vertikalen Flächen kämen und nur eine partielle Reinigung, beispielsweise der Fußbodenleiste entlang eines horizontalen Streifens, stattfände, oder das Reinigungspersonal würde versuchen, die Hauptreinigungsfläche des Flachwischbezuges durch Aufstellen entlang der Vertikalen möglichst vollflächig mit dem vertikalen Sockel in Kontakt zu bringen.Either the flat mop cover would remain flat on the floor, with only the narrow edge regions of the mop cover coming into contact with the vertical surfaces and only partial cleaning, for example the skirting along a horizontal strip, would occur, or the cleaning personnel would attempt to clear the main cleaning surface of the mop cover Setting up along the vertical as possible to bring the entire surface with the vertical base in contact.

Letzteres hätte aber den Nachteil, dass hier die Gefahr bestünde, durch den Flachwischbezug auch die über dem Sockel angerenzenden Wandbereiche zu berühren und hier beispielsweise die Wandfarbe zu beschädigen, zu verschmutzen oder abzulösen, da die Breite des Flachwischbezugs meist größer ist (100 - 150 mm) als die typischen Breiten einer Sockelleiste (ca. 20 - 70 mm).The latter, however, would have the disadvantage that there would be a danger here, through the mop cover, of touching the wall areas adjacent to the base and damaging, soiling or detaching the wall paint, for example, since the width of the mop cover is usually greater (100-150 mm ) than the typical widths of a skirting board (about 20 - 70 mm).

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist aus der DE 31 39 245 A1 ein Flachwischbezug bekannt geworden, der einen länglichen Grundkörper zeigt, wobei der Grundkörper eine Hauptreinigungsfläche und mindestens eine Reinigungslippe aufweist, welche relativ zu einem Basisbereich der Hauptreinigungsfläche verschwenkbar ist.Against this background is from the DE 31 39 245 A1 a flat mop cover has become known, which shows an elongate base body, wherein the main body has a main cleaning surface and at least one cleaning lip, which is pivotable relative to a base region of the main cleaning surface.

Die mindestens eine Reinigungslippe ist um mindestens einen Sollschwenkbereich verschwenkbar.The at least one cleaning lip is pivotable about at least one desired pivoting range.

Der Grundkörper dieses Flachwischbezugs weist ein Grundgewebe bzw. Trägergewebe aus Kett- und Schußfäden auf, an welchem 1 - 2 cm lange Florfäden befestigt sind. Insoweit zeigt der Stand der Technik einen Flachwischbezug mit einem Grundgewebe, welches weitere Fäden trägt.The main body of this flat mop cover has a base fabric or carrier fabric of warp and weft threads, on which 1 - 2 cm long pile threads are attached. In that regard, the prior art shows a flat mop cover with a base fabric which carries additional threads.

Diese Florfäden ragen nach außen ab. Solche Florfäden können relativ leicht Partikel freigeben, da deren freie, abragenden Enden Partikel nicht besonders gut fixieren können.These pile threads protrude outwards. Such pile threads can release particles relatively easily, since their free, projecting ends can not fix particles very well.

Der bekannte Flachwischbezug ist daher nur wenig für die Verwendung in Reinräumen geeignet. Unter einem Reinraum wird im Sinne dieser Schrift ein Raum verstanden, in welchem die sich in Luft befindlichen Partikel in Bezug auf Größe und Anzahl kontrolliert werden.The known flat mop cover is therefore only slightly suitable for use in clean rooms. In the sense of this document, a clean room is understood as meaning a room in which the particles in air are controlled in terms of size and number.

Des Weiteren zeigt dieser Flachwischbezug eine nur begrenzte Haltbarkeit, da sich einzelne Florfäden bei Waschprozessen relativ leicht ablösen können.Furthermore, this flat mop cover only a limited shelf life, as individual pile threads can replace relatively easily during washing processes.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Flachwischbezug der eingangs genannten Art derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, dass dieser besonders effektiv Schmutz von Ecken und Randbereichen ablöst, welche sich an große zu reinigende Flächen anschließen, und dass dieser bei großer Dauerhaltbarkeit möglichst wenig Partikel an den zu reinigenden Raum freigibt. Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die zuvor genannte Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention is therefore based on the object to design a flat mop cover of the type mentioned and further, that this particularly effective deters dirt from corners and edge areas, which connect to large areas to be cleaned, and that this with high durability as little as possible particles on the clears the room to be cleaned. The present invention achieves the aforementioned object by the features of patent claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zunächst erkannt worden, dass durch einen Sollschwenkbereich sehr breite und lange abragende Reinigungslippen geschaffen werden, die einen großen Überlappungsbereich mit einem Sockel aufweisen. Die Reinigungslippen sind dabei ein Teil der Hauptreinigungsfläche, wobei dieser Teil zu einem Basisbereich der Hauptreinigungsfläche verschwenkbar ist. Dieser Basisbereich liegt vorzugsweise auf dem Fußboden auf. Darauf ist erkannt worden, dass der Grundkörper ein flächiges Textilmaterial aufweisen muss bzw. aus einem solchen Textilmaterial gefertigt sein muss, welches möglichst wenig Partikel an den zu reinigenden Raum abgibt.According to the invention, it has first been recognized that very broad and long projecting cleaning lips are created by a predetermined pivoting range, which have a large overlap area with a base. The cleaning lips are part of the main cleaning surface, this part is pivotable to a base region of the main cleaning surface. This base area is preferably on the floor. It has been recognized that the base body must have a flat textile material or must be made of such a textile material which emits as few particles as possible to the space to be cleaned.

Im Stand der Technik sind Grundgewebe und Florfäden offenbart, die gegen eine zu reinigende Fläche gerichtet sind. Damit umfasst der Stand der Technik alle flächigen Textilmaterialien, die sog. Florfäden aufweisen. Bei Velours, Samt, Plüsch, Tuftings und anderen Textilien mit dreidimensionaler Struktur wird ein Fadensystem, welches senkrecht zur Oberfläche verläuft, als Flor oder Pol definiert. Im Sinne dieser Schrift ist ein Grundgewebe ein Trägergewebe, auf welches Fäden, insbesondere Florfäden, aufgeflockt, als Fransen aufgenäht, als Garn oder Gamschlaufen getuftet oder eingewoben sind.The prior art discloses base fabrics and pile threads which are directed against a surface to be cleaned. Thus, the prior art comprises all flat textile materials, the so-called. Filings have. For velor, velvet, plush, tufting and other textiles with a three-dimensional structure, a thread system that runs perpendicular to the surface is defined as pile or pile. For the purposes of this document, a base fabric is a carrier fabric onto which threads, in particular pile threads, are flocked, sewn on as fringes, tufted or woven in as yarn or yarn loops.

Erfindungsgemäß wird hingegen ein flächiges Textilmaterial eingesetzt, welches gerade keine abragenden Flor- oder Polfäden aufweist. So werden erfindungsgemäß alle flächigen Textilmaterialien außer Florgewebe, beflockte Gewebe oder Gewebe mit aufgenähten Fransen verwendet. Es wird ein flächiges Textilmaterial verwendet, welches aus einer im Wesentlichen zweidimensionalen Struktur oder Faser-/Garn-Anordnung besteht. Erfindungsgemäß wird ein flächiges Textilmaterial verwendet, bei welchem die Hauptrichtung der Garne oder Fasern innerhalb der Textilfläche ausgerichtet ist.According to the invention, however, a flat textile material is used which does not have any protruding pile or pile threads. Thus, according to the invention, all flat textile materials except pile fabrics, flocked fabrics or fabrics with sewn-on fringes are used. It is a flat textile material is used, which consists of a substantially two-dimensional structure or fiber / yarn arrangement. According to the invention, a flat textile material is used in which the Main direction of the yarns or fibers within the textile surface is aligned.

Überraschend zeigt das flächige Textilmaterial eine deutlich geringere Tendenz zur Partikelfreigabe als dies Florgewebe oder Polgewebe tun. Weiter sind die Herstellkosten relativ gering. Bei gleichem Flächengewicht und Ausgangsmaterial sind Florgewebe am teuersten, Gewebe etwas günstiger, Gewirke noch günstiger und Vliesstoffe am günstigsten. Das flächige Textilmaterial ist relativ einfach verarbeitbar. Ein Florgewebe hingegen erfordert durch seine Dicke und Zweiseitigkeit eine erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit und Handhabung in der Produktion. Die früheren Vorteile von Florgeweben, nämlich Stabilität und hohe Wasseraufnahme-kapazität, können durch den Einsatz von Mikrofasern bei Geweben, Gewirken und Vliesstoffen relativ problemlos kompensiert werden.Surprisingly, the flat textile material shows a significantly lower tendency for particle release than do pile fabric or pile fabric. Furthermore, the production costs are relatively low. For the same basis weight and starting material, pile fabrics are the most expensive, fabric a bit cheaper, knitted fabrics even cheaper and nonwoven fabrics the cheapest. The flat textile material is relatively easy to process. By contrast, a pile fabric requires increased attention and handling in production due to its thickness and two-sidedness. The previous advantages of pile fabrics, namely stability and high water absorption capacity, can be relatively easily compensated by the use of microfibers in fabrics, knits and nonwovens.

Insoweit ist ein Flachwischbezug angegeben, der besonders effektiv Schmutz von Ecken und Randbereichen ablöst, welche sich an große zu reinigende Flächen anschließen, wobei dieser bei großer Dauerhaltbarkeit möglichst wenig Partikel an den zu reinigenden Raum freigibt.In that regard, a flat mop cover is specified, which particularly effectively removes dirt from corners and edge areas, which adjoin large surfaces to be cleaned, which releases as little particles as possible with great durability to the space to be cleaned.

Ein Sollschwenkbereich ist als Naht ausgebildet, um welche die Reinigungslippe verschwenkbar ist. Eine Naht läßt sich dauerhaft und sehr definiert in den Grundkörper einbringen.A desired pivoting range is formed as a seam around which the cleaning lip is pivotable. A seam can be permanently and very defined bring into the body.

Folglich ist die eingangs genannte Aufgabe gelöst.Consequently, the object mentioned above is achieved.

Insbesondere besteht die Möglichkeit, eine Fläche mit Anteilen an reiner Mikrofaser zu durchsetzen, wodurch eine hohe Wasser- bzw. Schmutzaufnahme, aber auch hohe Reibung realisiert ist. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, Anteile mit Grobgarnen (z.B. NICHT-Mikrofasern) zu durchsetzen, wodurch weniger Wasser- bzw. Schmutzaufnahme, aber auch weniger Reibung auftritt. Das Durchsetzen kann in Streifenform, wie heute bei vielen Gewirken realisiert, erfolgen, indem beispielsweise immer fünf Maschenreihen mit Mikrofasern und zwei Maschenreihen mit anderen Garnen gestrickt werden.In particular, it is possible to enforce an area with proportions of pure microfiber, whereby a high water and dirt pick-up, but also high friction is realized. It is possible to enforce shares with coarse yarns (eg non-microfibers), whereby less water or dirt absorption, but also less friction occurs. The enforcing can be done in strip form, as is the case today with many knitted fabrics, by knitting, for example, always five courses with microfibers and two courses with other yarns.

Das flächige Textilmaterial könnte als Gewirke, Gestricke, Gewebe oder Vliesstoff ausgebildet sein. Diese flächigen Textilmaterialien zeigen sehr wenig Fasern oder Fäden, die mit einem freien Ende in Richtung einer zu reinigenden Oberfläche abragen. Sie geben daher nur sehr wenig Partikel an ihre Umgebung ab. Dies trifft insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Endlosfasern bzw. Filament-Garnen zu.The flat textile material could be formed as knitted fabric, knitted fabric, woven or nonwoven fabric. These flat textile materials show very few fibers or threads which protrude with a free end in the direction of a surface to be cleaned. They therefore release very little particles to their environment. This applies in particular to the use of continuous fibers or filament yarns.

Der Grundkörper könnte vollständig aus dem flächigen Textilmaterial bestehen. Ein solcher Grundkörper zeigt eine hohe Materialeinheitlichkeit.The main body could consist entirely of the flat textile material. Such a body shows a high material uniformity.

Ein Sollschwenkbereich könnte als Klebe-, Schweißstreifen oder aufgenähter Streifen ausgebildet sein, um welche die Reinigungslippe verschwenkbar ist. Ein solcher Sollschwenkbereich läßt sich rasch und kostengünstig ausbilden.A desired pivoting region could be designed as adhesive, welding strips or sewn-on strips around which the cleaning lip can be pivoted. Such a desired pivoting range can be formed quickly and inexpensively.

Ein Sollschwenkbereich könnte als Materialverdünnung ausgebildet sein, um welche die Reinigungslippe verschwenkbar ist. So kann Material eingespart werden.A desired pivoting range could be designed as a material dilution, about which the cleaning lip can be pivoted. This saves material.

Die Reinigungslippe könnte von einem Kernbereich 5 bis 50 mm abragen, in welchen eine Aufnahme oder ein Tragflügel eines Wischbezughalters einführbar ist. Eine solche Reinigungslippe läßt sich besonders leicht umlegen bzw. verschwenken.The cleaning lip could protrude from a core region 5 to 50 mm, in which a receptacle or a wing of a mop cover holder can be inserted. Such a cleaning lip can be particularly easily tilt or swivel.

Mindestens eine Reinigungslippe könnte längs ihrer Länge unterschiedliche Breiten aufweisen. Die Breite der Reinigungslippen kann gleich, aber auch unterschiedlich über den Umfang des Flachwischbezug verlaufen. Die Reinigungslippe muss nicht zwangsweise über ihre gesamte Länge dieselbe Breite aufweisen. Vor diesem Hintergrund sind auch trapezoide oder dreieckige Reinigungslippen denkbar. Hierdurch können auch komplexe Strukturen gut gereinigt werden.At least one cleaning lip could have different widths along its length. The width of the cleaning lips can run the same, but also different over the circumference of the flat mop cover. The Cleaning lip need not necessarily have the same width over its entire length. Against this background, trapezoidal or triangular cleaning lips are also conceivable. As a result, even complex structures can be cleaned well.

Der Grundkörper könnte zwei Längsseiten und zwei Kurzseiten aufweisen, wobei nur an einer Längsseite eine Reinigungslippe ausgebildet ist. Die Ausbildung nur einer Reinigungslippe verursacht nur einen geringen Fertigungsaufwand.The main body could have two longitudinal sides and two short sides, wherein a cleaning lip is formed only on one longitudinal side. The formation of only one cleaning lip causes only a low production cost.

Der Grundkörper könnte zwei Längsseiten und zwei Kurzseiten aufweisen, wobei an einer Längsseite und zwei Kurzseiten je eine Reinigungslippe ausgebildet ist. So wird eine U-förmige Reinigungslippenanordnung geschaffen.The main body could have two longitudinal sides and two short sides, one cleaning lip each being formed on one longitudinal side and two short sides. This creates a U-shaped cleaning lip arrangement.

Der Grundkörper könnte zwei Längsseiten und zwei Kurzseiten aufweisen, wobei an den Längsseiten und den Kurzseiten je eine Reinigungslippe ausgebildet ist. So wird eine umlaufende Reinigungslippenanordnung geschaffen.The base body could have two longitudinal sides and two short sides, wherein a respective cleaning lip is formed on the longitudinal sides and the short sides. Thus, a circumferential cleaning lip arrangement is created.

Am Grundkörper könnte mindestens eine Tasche angeordnet sein, in welche eine Aufnahme eines Wischbezughalters einführbar ist. Durch diese konkrete Ausgestaltung kann beispielsweise ein so genannter "Butterfly"- oder "Taschen" - Mopp mit dem Flachwischbezug verbunden werden. Ein solcher Wischbezughalter weist zwei zueinander verschwenkbare Tragflügel auf, welche in zwei Taschen des Flachwischbezug eingeführt werden können. Die Taschen sind an den Längsenden des länglichen Grundkörpers des Flachwischbezug angeordnet.At least one pocket could be arranged on the base body into which a receptacle of a mop cover holder can be inserted. By this specific embodiment, for example, a so-called "butterfly" - or "pockets" - mop can be connected to the flat mop cover. Such a mop cover has two mutually pivotable wings, which can be inserted into two pockets of the flat mop cover. The pockets are arranged at the longitudinal ends of the elongated base body of the flat mop cover.

Am Grundkörper könnten Laschen angeordnet sein, welche in Aufnahmeeinrichtungen eines Wischbezughalters kraft- oder formschlüssig einfügbar sind. Die Laschen sind hierzu im Bereich der Längsenden des länglichen Grundkörpers angeordnet. Die Laschen können derart um einen Tragflügel eines Wischbezughalters gelegt werden, dass der Flachwischbezug eine Spannung erfährt. Die Laschen können in klammerartige Spalten auf den Tragflügeln eines Wischbezughalters eingeführt werden. So findet eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Laschen und einem Tragflügel eines Wischbezughalters statt.On the main body tabs could be arranged, which are non-positively or positively inserted in receiving devices of a mop cover holder. The tabs are for this purpose in the region of the longitudinal ends of the arranged elongated body. The tabs can be placed around a wing of a mop cover holder such that the flat mop cover experiences a tension. The tabs can be inserted into bracket-like gaps on the wings of a mop cover. Thus, a positive connection between the tabs and a wing of a mop cover holder takes place.

Dem Grundkörper könnten flächige Bereiche zugeordnet sein, welche an Aufnahmebereiche eines Wischbezughalters formschlüssig anlegbar sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist konkret denkbar, dass an der Unterseite eines Tragflügels eines Wischbezughalters Aufnahmebereiche ausgebildet sind. Die Aufnahmebereiche könnten mit den flächigen Bereichen am Grundkörper derart zusammenwirken, dass ein Klett-Verschluss gebildet wird.The basic body could be assigned area areas which can be applied positively to receiving areas of a mop cover holder. Against this background, it is concretely conceivable that receiving areas are formed on the underside of a wing of a mop cover holder. The receiving areas could cooperate with the flat areas on the base body such that a hook-and-loop closure is formed.

Ein Wischbezughalter könnte einen Flachwischbezug der hier beschriebenen Art aufweisen.A mop cover holder could have a flat mop cover of the type described here.

Der hier beschriebene Flachwischbezug eignet sich besonders gut zur Verwendung in einem Reinraum, da das flächige Textilmaterial nur sehr wenig Partikel abgibt und auch nach mehreren Waschprozessen dauerhaft haltbar ist.The flat mop cover described here is particularly well suited for use in a clean room, since the flat textile material emits only very few particles and is durable even after several washing processes.

Unter einem Reinraum wird im Sinne dieser Schrift ein Raum verstanden, in welchem die sich in Luft befindlichen Partikel in Bezug auf Größe und Anzahl kontrolliert werden.In the sense of this document, a clean room is understood as meaning a room in which the particles in air are controlled in terms of size and number.

Im Sinne dieser Schrift ist ein Garn ein linienförmiges Textil, welches aus mehreren zusammengedrehten Stapelfasern hergestellt wird. Ein solches Garn ist ein sogenanntes Stapelfaser-Garn. Ein Garn ist auch ein linienförmiges Textil, welches aus mehreren zusammengelegten/-gedrehten Endlosfasern hergestellt wird. Ein solches Garn ist ein sogenanntes Filament-Garn. Ein Zwirn ist ein linienförmiges Textil, welches aus mindestens zwei miteinander verdrehten Garnen besteht.For the purpose of this document, a yarn is a linear textile which is produced from a plurality of staple fibers twisted together. Such a yarn is a so-called staple fiber yarn. A yarn is also a linear fabric made from several continuous filament wound / twisted fibers. Such a yarn is a so-called filament yarn. A thread is a line-shaped textile, which consists of at least two twisted yarns.

Im Sinne dieser Schrift ist ein Faden ein linienförmiges, textiles Gebilde, das als Garn oder Zwirn ausgebildet ist. Dies umfaßt sowohl Stapelfaser- als auch Filament-Garne bzw. solche Zwirne.For the purposes of this document, a thread is a line-shaped, textile structure, which is formed as a yarn or thread. This includes both staple fiber and filament yarns.
