Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a cleaning head and an easy-to-use, spin-drying surface cleaning brush and a bucket adapted for spinning.
  • Such a broom equipped for example with a washing head or dedusting, makes it possible to clean the floors in a convenient manner while ensuring an easy and effective spinning of its cleaning head.
  • articulated brushes equipped with a cleaning head comprising for example a sponge or mopping pad.
  • a cleaning head comprising for example a sponge or mopping pad.
  • Such brushes are often more efficient and more manoeuvrable than mops also known.
  • the generally rectangular shape of these cleaning heads ensures easy cleaning of the corners of parts while their articulation makes it easy to clean under furniture.
  • the cleaning pad has a rigid support, which allows to exert a greater force on the work surface and thus to remove more easily dirt.
  • wiper devices comprise squeegees or rollers arranged at the top of the bucket; however, these devices are difficult to use because of the instability of the bucket, the latter may indeed move or overturn during the spin.
  • the present disclosure relates to a brush cleaning head, comprising a fastening portion adapted to attach the cleaning head to a brush handle, a base mounted at the lower end of the fastening portion via a hinge. , and at least two wings extending from opposite lateral edges of the base, each wing being pivotable relative to the base between a rest position, in which it extends substantially in the extension of the base, and a raised position, so that the cleaning head can be operated between a working position, substantially rectilinear, in which the wings are in their rest positions, and a folding position, substantially U-shaped, in which the wings are in their raised positions.
  • a broom equipped with this head has all the advantages already mentioned of this type of broom: it benefits in particular from a very good maneuverability, including in the corners of rooms and under furniture, and of great efficiency.
  • this broom in addition, thanks to this collapsible U-shaped head, this broom, once folded, has a small footprint. It is thus easier to plunge it into a bucket to impregnate its cleaning head with a washing solution; the size of the bucket can also be reduced, which is significant for its storage. Moreover, thanks to its folding wings, the broom is also easier to store. It takes first place on the ground reduced and enjoys a stable standing, which is not the case for brooms whose head is up against the handle.
  • this U-folded position makes it easy to spin the cleaning head in a bucket provided with a spin basket of the same way a classic mop.
  • a rectangular rather than circular basket can be used.
  • Such spin in a spin basket enabled by the U-shape of this broom, is very easy and very effective: just exert a vertical pressure on the handle to compress the cleaning head against the basket.
  • the bucket's position is stable during spinning, which improves its efficiency and reduces the risk of bucket spilling.
  • the head includes at least one biasing device configured to bias a wing toward its home position. In this way, the cleaning head is automatically returned to the working position after the spin without the user has to handle the head, which is hygienic and more comfortable.
  • this return device comprises a hinge spring.

  • the two wings are configured in this way.
  • the length of at least one of the sections of the head can temporarily decrease to avoid an overall increase in the length of the head and thus allow the passage of this head to its U-fold position without excessive stretching of the seal which can then be fixed on this head.
  • the elastic return means return the section concerned to its normal length.
  • the head includes at least one locking device configured to maintain a wing in its raised position when brought into that position.
  • This blocking device locks the U-shaped configuration of the head at the time of spinning or storage, increasing user comfort. In particular, this prevents the head from opening in the bucket, during spinning, or in a closet, which could make it difficult to extract and handle.
  • one of the base and said wing comprises at least one locking aperture
  • the other of said elements among the base and said wing comprises a lug biased outwardly by means of reminder and configured to engage in said locking aperture when the wing is in its raised position.
