Description

  • The present invention relates to a device for cleaning of profiled surfaces, especially roof coverings, comprising a support, carrying a number of pins, arranged side by side.
  • Such devices are known in a number of more or less complicated embodiments, but until now there has been no simple and efficient device of the art mentioned introductorily, admitting a simple rearrangement for adjustment to the dimensions of the profiled surfaces that is to say to their wave length. This is especially true concerning traditional roof-tiles and roof-sheets, nowadays quite common.
  • US-A1-2008/0143128 discloses a shovel-like device in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 for cleaning corrugated floors having a blade, an elongate handle extending from the proximal end of the blade, and a plurality of elongate cleaning teeth extending perpendicularly from the opposed distal end of the blade. Each of the cleaning teeth are individually adjustable in the lateral and the perpendicular directions. US-A-4,091,879 discloses a hand garden tool generally in the form of a rake, wherein all tines are individually vertically-adjustable upon the crossbar.
  • DE-U1-9211246 discloses a cleaning device for evenly profiled surfaces, having a cleaning surface made of sponge or bristle tufts and a handle, wherein the cleaning surface has a profiling adapted approximately to the profile of the surface to be cleaned. WO-A1-2004/060106 discloses a device for cleaning and/or preparing a surface, having a handle with a head piece attached to the upper end of the handle. The head piece has a substantially rigid core, surrounded by a membrane covered foam, and is capable of focusing pressure on specific locations across the surface area.
  • However, there is a need for an improved device suitable for cleaning profiled surfaces, wherein the cleaning pins (teeth, tines or the like) are arranged so that the risk is decreased for the pins to be inclined from their intended positions.
  • According to the invention such a device is in accordance with claim 1, and comprises that the support is designed like a plate, which plate is carried by a shaft, substantially directed at right angle thereto, whereas the plate is provided with at least two parallel grooves, arranged at a distance from each other, wherein said pins are mounted directed at right angle to the grooves by bolt connections. By this design, it is warranted, that the pins may be easily rearranged for adjustment to the dimensions of the profiled surfaces, without risk for the pins to be inclined from their positions.
  • Per se two parallel grooves at a first distance from each other are enough, but in one advantageous embodiment there are, at the first distance from each other,
    each two grooves provided at a second distance from each other. With this design it is suitable to lock, preferably releasably, said shaft with a fastening device, located symmetrically within said second distance.
  • In order to provide a lenient cleaning the pins, at their free ends are surrounded with a polymer material in foam form, preferably foam rubber. Thereby it is suitable to design the pins at their lower ends with protrusions intended to keep the polymer material on place.
  • The device according to the invention is disclosed in the following reference being made to the enclosed schematic figure showing a support with pins and the fastening of a shaft indicated, with the lower portions of the pins showed from above at an inclination.
  • In the figure a support, formed as a plate is marked by 1. This plate is carried by a shaft, not shown, substantially directed at right angle thereto. The fastening of this is indicated by 2. The plate 1 is provided with four grooves. Of these two grooves are marked by 4 and 5 arranged along a line, at a distance, i.e. a space 18 from each other.
  • Parallel to these, at a distance 3 there are provided two grooves marked 6 and 7 along a line with the same space 18 between them.
  • In the figure 8 pins divided at two groups are marked from 8 to 15. Only the pin marked 15 with the bolt connection 16 and 17 in the parallel grooves 5 and 7 is shown for reason of clearness. The bolt connection is suitably designed with a wing nut at the back of the support, i.e. the plate 1. The other pins 8-14 are provided with similar bolt connections. The pin 15, as well as the other pins 8-14, is at its free end surrounded by a polymer material in the form of foam rubber, marked 19, and is at its lower end formed with protrusion intended to keep the polymer material on place.
