Definitions

  • the invention relates to a broom block according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the EP 1 595 473 A1 shows a bristle carrier on which a slat trim is arranged.
  • the US 2004/0031116 A1 shows a two-in-one broom, with one part having a U-shape.
  • a broom which has on its underside two cleaning body of divergent materials, wherein a cleaning body is formed by a foam body.
  • the DE 10 2008 016 637 A1 shows a bristle carrier plate to which a reinforcing plate is attached.
  • Broom blocks are known from the prior art, which can be connected to a stem.
  • Such a broom block comprises a base body with a plate, from which cleaning elements protrude for the attention to a surface to be cleaned. From the plate also lamellae protrude in the direction of the surface to be cleaned, which support the cleaning performance of the cleaning elements.
  • the fins can remove dirt or moisture from a surface to be cleaned, which can be removed only inadequately by the cleaning elements, in particular bristles.
  • the lamellae may either be attached to the plate or to a cap which has a receptacle for a stem.
  • the plate and the cap are joined together to form the body.
  • there are significant problems in storage since both a plate with slats and a cap with slats is relatively bulky and poorly storable.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a broom block, which can be manufactured with trouble-free storage of its items, wherein after the production of the broom block, the items are firmly connected.
  • the second cleaning elements are arranged on a module which can be inserted into the plate as a separate item.
  • a separate module makes it possible to easily stack and store the plate and the cap as flat individual parts, since these themselves have no second cleaning elements.
  • the separate module is also flat and therefore easy to store. In a manufacturing process, these three items can be joined quickly captive and so form a broom block.
  • the flat items allow a simple and cost-effective storage and thus a cost-effective production of the broom block.
  • the cap has a receptacle for a stem.
  • a broomstick can be attached to the broom block or screwed.
  • the module is fixed between the plate and a cap. As a result, the module can be received positively and / or cohesively between the plate and cap.
  • the plate and the cap can be glued together, welded or locked.
  • the module may have a web, from which protrude the second cleaning elements, in particular slats, wherein the second cleaning elements pass through a recess in the plate.
  • the web can serve as a stop which can be applied to the plate.
  • a plurality of individual, palisading arranged second cleaning elements can be taken as a whole and used in the plate.
  • the first cleaning elements may be configured as bristles.
  • the bristles may be made of plastics or natural fibers.
  • the second cleaning elements may be made of an elastomer.
  • An elastomer, especially rubber, can perform an excellent wiping function.
  • the second cleaning elements may be made of a foam. Foams are inexpensive and lightweight.
  • the second cleaning elements can be configured as lamellae. Slats with their lamellar surface or wiping surface are especially good at taking moisture away and spreading when sweeping. In addition, slats can dissolve stubborn dirt and catch hair and small particles of dirt.
  • the slats can be straight, curved or arched. Depending on the requirements of the wiping function, the geometry of the slats can be selected. It is conceivable to use U-shaped, V-shaped, X-shaped, round or oval slats.
  • the broom block can be made of three separate parts, namely a plate with first cleaning elements, a cap and the module. These three parts can be joined together by hand.
  • Fig. 1 shows in an exploded view a broom block 1, comprising a base body 2 with a plate 3, protrude from which first cleaning elements 4 for attention to a surface to be cleaned, projecting from the plate 3 as a second cleaning elements 5 also lamellae, which the cleaning performance of the first cleaning elements 4 support.
  • the second cleaning elements 5, namely the lamellae, are arranged on a module 6, which can be inserted as a separate item in a recess 9 of the plate 3 in such a way that the second cleaning elements 5 pass through the plate 3.
  • the second cleaning elements 5 are arranged on a module 6, which is insertable into the plate 3 as a separate item.
  • the module 6 is fixed between the plate 3 and a cap 7.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the module 6 has a web 8, projecting from the lamellae, wherein the lamellae pass through a recess 9 in the plate 3.
  • the recess 9 is designed as an elongated slot.
  • a plurality of fins are arranged on the web 8, which are inserted into the recess 9 in their entirety together.
  • the cap 7 has a receptacle 10 for a stem.
  • the receptacle 10 is formed integrally with the cap 7.
  • the first cleaning elements 4 are designed as bristles.
  • the second cleaning elements 5 are designed as slats.
  • the lamellae are surrounded on all sides by the bristles.
  • the slats are curved and designed substantially U-shaped.
  • the slats are made of an elastomer.
  • the individual lamellae are arranged such that along the web 8 of a convexly curved lamellar surface follows a concavely curved lamellar surface.
  • Fig. 3 . 4 and 5 show that the broom block 1 is made of three individual parts, namely a plate 3 with first cleaning elements 4, a cap 7 and the module 6.
  • Fig. 5 shows the broom block 1 in the fully assembled state.
  • the three individual parts form the main body 2.
