Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a surface cleaning device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei der Reinigung von Flächen, insbesondere im häuslichen Bereich, tauchen zu reinigende Flächen verschiedenster Form auf. So sind die meisten Flächen von Fenstern, Fliesen, Fensterbänken, Fensterholmen, Kochfeldern, Töpfen, Spülbecken, Schüsseln teilweise eben, teilweise weisen diese Rundungen und auch Ecken auf.When cleaning surfaces, especially in the home, surfaces of various shapes to be cleaned appear. For example, most of the surfaces of windows, tiles, window sills, window joists, hobs, pots, sinks, bowls are partly even, and in some cases have these curves and also corners.

In der Regel werden zur Reinigung solcher Flächen einerseits flexible Reinigungsvorrichtungen (z.B. Lappen, Mops oder Bürsten eingesetzt), um auch die Rundungen und Ecken ausreichend erfassen zu können. Zum anderen ist gerade bei starker Verschmutzung der Druck, der sich mit flexiblen Vorrichtungen ausüben lässt, unzureichend, so dass wiederum starre Vorrichtungen erforderlich sind. Diese haben aber den Nachteil, dass sie bei schwer zugänglichen Bereichen wie Rundungen oder Ecken nur eine unzureichende Anlage an die zu reinigenden Flächen und damit ein schlechtes Reinigungsergebnis erzielen.As a rule, to clean such surfaces, on the one hand, flexible cleaning devices (for example, cloths, mops or brushes are used) in order to be able to detect the curves and corners sufficiently. On the other hand, even with heavy soiling, the pressure that can be exerted with flexible devices is insufficient, so again rigid devices are required. However, these have the disadvantage that they achieve in poorly accessible areas such as curves or corners only insufficient investment in the surfaces to be cleaned and thus a poor cleaning result.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, mit der die oben erwähnten Nachteile vermieden werden.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a surface cleaning device of the type mentioned, with which the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen finden sich in den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by a surface cleaning device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.

Die bevorzugt aus einem Kunststoffmaterial gebildete Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie einen spitzen Abschnitt und einen runden Abschnitt aufweist und so relativ starr ausgebildet sein kann. Bevorzugt handelt es sich um eine Vorrichtung, an deren Unterseite Reinigungspads auswechselbar angebracht werden können. Natürlich kann auch eine permanente (z.B. abwaschbare) Reinigungsfläche auf der Unterseite vorgesehen sein. Die Vorrichtung weist weiter auf der Oberseite einen Griff auf, mit dem die Vorrichtung von einer Bedienperson gehalten und so gebraucht werden kann.The surface cleaning device preferably formed of a plastic material is characterized in that it has a pointed portion and a round portion and thus may be relatively rigid. Preferably, it is a device on the underside cleaning pads can be mounted interchangeable. Of course, a permanent (e.g., washable) cleaning surface may also be provided on the underside. The device further has on the top of a handle, with which the device can be held by an operator and so used.

Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass für verschiedene Reinigungsanwendungen die Unterseite des Grundabschnitts - z.B. durch eine Klettoberfläche - mit einer Verbindungsschicht so ausgebildet ist, dass verschiedene Reinigungspads am Grundabschnitt lösbar befestigt werden können. Unterhalb des Grundabschnitts, der als Platte ausgebildet sein kann, können so unterschiedliche textile Pads für verschiedene Reinigungsanforderungen angebracht werden. Die (Umriss-)Form der textilen Pads ist im Wesentlichen identisch oder kongruent mit der (Umriss-)Form des Grundabschnitts.It is preferably provided that for different cleaning applications the underside of the base section - e.g. by a Velcro surface - is formed with a bonding layer so that various cleaning pads can be releasably secured to the base portion. Below the base portion, which may be formed as a plate, so different textile pads for different cleaning requirements can be attached. The (contour) shape of the textile pads is substantially identical or congruent with the (outline) shape of the base portion.

Der erfindungsgemäße Gegenstand weist so mehrere Funktionen auf: mit der Spitze lassen sich Ecken z.B. an Fenstern, im Bodenbereich bei Fliesen, an Fensterbänken reinigen. Auch bei relativ starrer Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung können Winkel noch gut erreicht werden.The article according to the invention thus has several functions on: with the tip corners can be cleaned eg on windows, in the floor area with tiles, on window sills. Even with a relatively rigid surface cleaning device angles can still be achieved well.

Mit der Rundung lassen sich besonders abgerundete Flächen wie z.B. in Töpfen, Spülbecken, Schüsseln reinigen.With the rounding can be particularly rounded surfaces such. in pots, sinks, bowls clean.

Weiter können gerade Abschnitte vorgesehen sein. Mit diesen kann die Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung an geradlinigen Kanten vorbei geführt werden, wie sie z.B. an Fensterholmen, Fliesen oder Kochfeldern vorkommen. Dazu kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass zwischen dem spitz zulaufenden Abschnitt und dem wenigstens einen runden Abschnitt wenigstens ein im Wesentlichen gerader Abschnitt angeordnet ist. Bevorzugt sind zwei, insbesondere zueinander parallele, gerade Abschnitte zwischen dem spitz zulaufenden Abschnitt und dem wenigstens einen runden Abschnitt vorgesehen.Further, straight sections may be provided. With these, the surface cleaning device can be guided past straight edges, as they are e.g. on window rails, tiles or hobs. For this purpose, provision can be made, in particular, for at least one substantially straight section to be arranged between the pointed section and the at least one round section. Preferably, two, in particular parallel, straight sections between the tapered portion and the at least one round section are provided.

Bevorzugt ist ein runder Handgriff vorgesehen, der insbesondere in einem Bereich zwischen dem spitz zulaufenden Abschnitt und dem abgerundeten Abschnitt angeordnet sein kann. Durch den runden Handgriff wird dem Anwender ermöglicht, die jeweilig benötigte Form - Spitze, Gerade oder Rundung - durch einfaches Drehen der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung in die gewünschte Richtung zu erhalten.Preferably, a round handle is provided, which can be arranged in particular in a region between the tapered portion and the rounded portion. The round handle allows the user to obtain the required shape - point, straight or round - by simply turning the surface cleaning device in the desired direction.

Der Griff ist bevorzugt ein runder, ergonomisch geformter Handknauf, der sich besonders leicht und sicher greifen lässt. Der Griff ermöglicht so eine mühelose Verwendung aller Bereiche der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung. Der Griff besteht dazu bevorzugt aus einem weichen, nachgebenden Material. Wenn er zudem mit einer rauen Oberfläche versehen ist, wird ein Abrutschen bei der Feuchtreinigung vermieden. Zusätzlich kann durch bevorzugt vorgesehene, rund um den Griff angebrachte Kerben, im oberen Bereich des Knaufs der Halt noch verstärkt werden. Weiter kann vorgesehen sein, dass sich der Griff zum Grundabschnitt der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung und/oder nach oben hin verjüngt, damit die geschlossene Hand den Griff besser umschließen kann.The handle is preferably a round, ergonomic hand knob, which is particularly easy and secure grip leaves. The handle thus allows effortless use of all areas of the surface cleaning device. The handle is preferably made of a soft, yielding material. If it is also provided with a rough surface, slippage during wet cleaning is avoided. In addition, can be reinforced by preferably provided, mounted around the handle notches in the upper part of the knob. It can further be provided that the handle tapers towards the base section of the surface cleaning device and / or upwards, so that the closed hand can better enclose the handle.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung ist vorgesehen, dass der Grundabschnitt an der Oberseite eine erste harte Schicht - die bevorzugt aus einer Platte aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff wie z.B. CFK oder GFK gebildet ist - und an der Unterseite eine, insbesondere zur Klettverbindung ausgelegte, Verbindungsschicht zur Anbindung eines Reinigungspads aufweist. Weiter kann dabei insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass wenigstens zwischen der Verbindungsschicht und der harten Schicht eine im Vergleich zur harten Schicht weichere Zwischenschicht vorgesehen ist, welche bevorzugt ein Polyurethanmaterial aufweist. Durch die harte Schicht, wird eine insgesamt starre Konfiguration der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung erzielt, die eine optimale Kraftübertragung von der Hand des Benutzers auf die zu reinigende Fläche gewährleistet, also das Andruckverhalten optimiert. Die weichere Schicht, in die die härtere Schicht eingelassen sein kann, bevorzugt so, dass ein Teil der weicheren Schicht die harte Schicht entlang ihrer Umfangslinie umschließt, sorgt dafür, dass bei Kontakt mit Leisten, Ecken und anderen Teilen der zu reinigenden Gegenstände empfindliche Bereiche derselben geschont und nicht zu hohem Anpressdruck ausgesetzt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the surface cleaning device is provided that the base portion at the top of a first hard layer - which is preferably formed of a plate made of fiber reinforced plastic such as CFK or GRP - and at the bottom of a, in particular designed for hook and loop connection layer for Connection of a cleaning pad has. Furthermore, it can be provided in particular that at least between the connecting layer and the hard layer softer intermediate layer is provided compared to the hard layer, which preferably comprises a polyurethane material. Through the hard layer, an overall rigid configuration of the surface cleaning device is achieved, which ensures optimum power transmission from the user's hand to the surface to be cleaned, thus optimizing the Andruckverhalten. The softer layer into which the harder Layer may be recessed, preferably so that a portion of the softer layer surrounds the hard layer along its perimeter, ensures that upon contact with strips, corners and other parts of the objects to be cleaned sensitive areas of the same protected and not exposed to high contact pressure ,

Bevorzugt ist die Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung entlang ihrer Umfangslinie so abgeschrägt, das sich der Umfang zur Oberseite hin verjüngt. So können beim Reinigen auch Überhänge oder Schattenfugen der zu reinigenden Gegenstände zugänglich gemacht werden.Preferably, the surface cleaning device is chamfered along its peripheral line so that the circumference tapers towards the top. Thus, overhangs or shadow gaps of the objects to be cleaned can be made accessible during cleaning.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand des in den Figuren 1 bis 5 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigte Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung 1 weist einen Grundabschnitt 3 auf, an welchem ein im gezeigten Beispiel knaufförmiger Handgriff 2 vorgesehen ist. Der Griff 2 ist bevorzugt aus einem flexiblen Kunststoffmaterial gebildet und weist Kerben 21 auf, die ein sicheres Angreifen des Benutzers ermöglichen. Zusätzlich kann die Oberfläche des Griffs 2 angerauht sein.The in the FIGS. 1 to 3 shown surface cleaning device 1 has a base portion 3, on which a knob-shaped handle 2 is provided in the example shown. The handle 2 is preferably formed of a flexible plastic material and has notches 21, which allow a secure engagement of the user. In addition, the surface of the handle 2 may be roughened.

Weiter weist der Grundabschnitt 3 wenigstens einen gerundeten Abschnitt 3a und einen spitzen Abschnitt 3b auf. Zwischen diesen Abschnitten 3a, 3b können gerade Abschnitte 34 vorgesehen sein. Der runde Abschnitt 3a dient dazu, die Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung 1 an abgerundeten Wänden (wie z.B. bei Töpfen) entlang führen zu können. Zum Erreichen von Ecken dient der eckige Abschnitt 3a. Die geraden Abschnitte 34 dienen zum Reinigen entlang von geraden Kanten (z.B. bei Kochfeldern, Abschlussleisten etc.).Further, the base portion 3 has at least a rounded portion 3a and a pointed portion 3b. Straight sections 34 may be provided between these sections 3a, 3b. The round section 3a serves to guide the surface cleaning device 1 along rounded walls (such as pots). The angular section 3a serves to reach corners. The straight portions 34 are for cleaning along straight edges (e.g., hobs, end rails, etc.).

Wie man aus den Schnittdarstellungen in den Figuren 4 und 5 erkennt, weist der Grundabschnitt 3 der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung 1 mehrere Schichten auf: eine als Oberseite 33 dienende härtere Schicht, die z.B. aus einem Faser verstärkten Kunststoff wie GFK oder CFK gebildet sein kann und an der der Griff angebracht ist, und einer Unterseite 31, welche eine insbesondere als Reinigungspad ausgebildete Reinigungsfläche ist oder an der sich ein solches Reinigungspad befestigen lässt. Im gezeigten Beispiel ist die Unterseite 31 durch eine Klettanordnung gebildet, an der ein Reinigungspad über eine Klettverbindung befestigt werden kann. Die Zwischenschicht 32 besteht bevorzugt aus einem im Vergleich zu der Schicht 33 weicheren Material, beispielsweise aus einem Polyurethanmaterial, welches zusätzlich Weichmacher enthalten kann. Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 5 ersichtlich, ist die obere Schicht 33 bevorzugt in die Zwischenschicht 32 eingelassen, und zwar so, dass ein Rand der Zwischenschicht 32 die obere Schicht 33 entlang von deren Umfangslinie umgibt. Dieser umgebende Kragen ist, wie in Figur 5 gezeigt, bevorzugt mit einer Schräge 30 versehen, so dass sich der Grundabschnitt zur Oberseite hin leicht verjüngt. Schließlich erstreckt sich die Verbindungsschicht 31 (vgl. Figur 5) nicht ganz bis zum Rand des Grundabschnitts, sondern springt diesem gegenüber leicht zurück. Das daran zu befestigende Reinigungspad - welches sich bevorzugt bis zum Rand erstreckt und die Unterseite der Flächenreinigungsvorrichtung somit vollständig bedeckt - lässt sich so bei Verschleiß besser greifen und wechseln.As can be seen from the sectional views in the FIGS. 4 and 5 recognizes, the base portion 3 of the surface cleaning device 1, a plurality of layers: serving as a top 33 harder layer, which may be formed of a fiber reinforced plastic such as GRP or CFK and on which the handle is attached, and a bottom 31, which a in particular designed as a cleaning pad cleaning surface or on which can be fixed such a cleaning pad. In the example shown, the underside 31 is formed by a Velcro arrangement, to which a cleaning pad can be attached via a Velcro connection. The intermediate layer 32 preferably consists of one compared to the layer 33 softer material, for example of a polyurethane material, which may additionally contain plasticizer. Like from the FIGS. 1 and 5 As can be seen, the upper layer 33 is preferably embedded in the intermediate layer 32 in such a way that an edge of the intermediate layer 32 surrounds the upper layer 33 along its circumferential line. This surrounding collar is as in FIG. 5 shown, preferably provided with a slope 30, so that the base portion tapers slightly towards the top. Finally, the connection layer 31 extends (cf. FIG. 5 ) not quite to the edge of the basic section, but jumps back slightly opposite. The cleaning pad to be fastened thereto-which preferably extends to the edge and thus completely covers the underside of the surface-cleaning device-can be better grasped and changed with wear.
