Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surface cleaning device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • surfaces to be cleaned come in a wide variety of shapes. Most of the surfaces of windows, tiles, window sills, window pillars, hobs, pots, sinks, bowls are partly flat, partly they have curves and corners.
  • EP 0 950 369 A1 discloses a cleaning device for windows, furniture and the like with an underside on which a cleaning surface is provided and an upper side on which a handle is arranged. Seen from above, this cleaning device is almost triangular, with the corners being more or less rounded and the curves merge into each other. This forms a rather pointed section and two rounded sections. With such a device, rounded surfaces and only limited corners can be cleaned up to the tips. The cleaning of straight edges is also disadvantageous, since the rounded outline of the device means that only a small cleaning surface section can be moved along the edge, even though edges are the preferred deposit areas for dust and the like.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to specify a surface cleaning device of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided.
  • the surface cleaning device which is preferably formed from a plastic material, is characterized in that it has a pointed section and a round section and can thus be designed to be relatively rigid. It is preferably a device on the underside of which cleaning pads can be attached in an exchangeable manner. Of course, a permanent (eg washable) cleaning surface can also be provided on the underside.
  • the device according to the invention also has a handle on the top, with which the device held by an operator and can be used in this way.
  • the underside of the base section is designed with a connecting layer - e.g. by means of a Velcro surface - in such a way that different cleaning pads can be detachably attached to the base section.
  • Different textile pads for different cleaning requirements can be attached below the base section, which can be designed as a plate.
  • the (outline) shape of the textile pads is essentially identical or congruent with the (outline) shape of the base section.
  • the object according to the invention thus has several functions: the tip can be used to clean corners, e.g. on windows, in the floor area of tiles, on window sills. Even with a relatively rigid surface cleaning device, angles can still be easily achieved.
  • Straight sections are also provided in the subject matter according to the invention. With these, the surface cleaning device can be guided past straight edges, such as those found on window bars, tiles or hobs.
  • straight edges such as those found on window bars, tiles or hobs.
  • two mutually parallel, straight sections are provided between the section tapering to a point and the at least one round section.
  • a round handle is preferably provided, which can be arranged in particular in an area between the tapering section and the rounded section.
  • the round handle enables the user to obtain the required shape - pointed, straight or rounded - by simply turning the surface cleaning device in the desired direction.
  • the handle is preferably a round, ergonomically shaped hand knob that can be gripped particularly easily and securely.
  • the handle thus enables effortless use of all areas of the surface cleaning device.
  • the handle preferably consists of a soft, yielding material. If it also has a rough surface, slipping during wet cleaning is avoided.
  • the grip can be further strengthened by preferably provided notches around the handle in the upper area of the knob.
  • the handle tapers toward the base section of the surface cleaning device and/or upwards, so that the closed hand can better enclose the handle.
  • the base section has a first hard layer on the upper side - which is preferably formed from a plate made of fiber-reinforced plastic such as CFRP or GRP - and on the underside a connecting layer, designed in particular for Velcro connection, for Has connection of a cleaning pad.
  • an intermediate layer which is softer than the hard layer and preferably has a polyurethane material, is provided at least between the connecting layer and the hard layer. Due to the hard layer, an overall rigid configuration of the surface cleaning device is achieved, which ensures optimal power transmission from the user's hand to the surface to be cleaned, ie optimizes the pressure behavior.
  • the softer layer in which the harder layer can be embedded, preferably in such a way that a part of the softer layer encloses the hard layer along its perimeter, ensures that sensitive areas of the same come into contact with ledges, corners and other parts of the objects to be cleaned protected and not exposed to excessive contact pressure.
  • the surface cleaning device is preferably beveled along its circumference in such a way that the circumference tapers towards the top. In this way, overhangs or shadow gaps of the objects to be cleaned can also be made accessible during cleaning.
  • the surface cleaning device 1 shown has a base section 3 on which a knob-shaped handle 2 is provided in the example shown.
  • the handle 2 is preferably formed from a flexible plastic material and has notches 21 which enable the user to grip it securely.
  • the surface of the handle 2 can be roughened.
  • the base section 3 has at least one rounded section 3a and a pointed section 3b.
  • Straight sections 34 can be provided between these sections 3a, 3b.
  • the round section 3a is used to be able to guide the surface cleaning device 1 along rounded walls (e.g. on pots).
  • the angular section 3a is used to reach corners.
  • the straight sections 34 are used for cleaning along straight edges (e.g. in the case of hobs, end strips, etc.).
  • the base portion 3 of the surface cleaning device 1 several layers: a harder layer serving as upper side 33, which can be made of a fiber-reinforced plastic such as GRP or CRP and to which the handle is attached, and a lower side 31, which is a cleaning surface designed in particular as a cleaning pad or on which such a cleaning pad can be attached.
  • 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 a material that is softer than the layer 33, for example a polyurethane material, which can also contain plasticizers.
  • the top layer 33 is preferably embedded in the intermediate layer 32 such that an edge of the intermediate layer 32 surrounds the top layer 33 along its perimeter.
  • This surrounding collar is as in figure 5 shown, preferably provided with a slope 30, so that the base portion tapers slightly towards the top.
  • the connecting layer 31 extends (cf. figure 5 ) does not quite reach the edge of the basic section, but jumps back slightly from it.
  • the cleaning pad to be attached to it - which preferably extends to the edge and thus completely covers the underside of the surface cleaning device - can thus be better gripped and changed when worn.
