Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand cleaner, in particular for cleaning smooth surfaces.
  • Hand cleaners are already known from the prior art.
  • pullers with a rubber lip are used to clean windows, which pull off liquid from a smooth surface such as a window pane, with a relatively large area being able to be cleaned with one pulling movement.
  • the window cleaners and hand cleaners known from the prior art reach their limits in particular when cleaning window surfaces which have unevenness at their borders towards the frame. It is common nowadays for window panes to have rounded sealing material made of rubber on their outer edges.
  • the hand cleaners known from the prior art lift off the surface to be cleaned in the area of this rubber seal or in the case of other unevenness in the edge area of a smooth surface, the cleaning function of the hand cleaner being impaired in the entire edge area of a smooth surface.
  • the problem often arises that the contact pressure of the wiper lip on the surface to be cleaned cannot be optimally adapted to the geometrical conditions of the surface to be cleaned.
  • the EP 1 972 246 A1 discloses a hand cleaner in which a wiper lip fixed to a housing is pressed by a guide edge of the housing against the surface to be cleaned.
  • the DE 20 17 528 U1 discloses a hand cleaner in which a wiper lip is held on a housing and is partially supported by a rear wall of the housing.
  • the DE 100 52 520 A1 discloses a hand cleaner with a clamped rubber lip, in which a spacer is provided in the side area to allow the cleaner to be spaced from the window frame in the area of the window edge and thus to prevent the wiper lip from lifting off the glass pane in the area of the window seal.
  • the U.S. 5,497,530 discloses a window wiper in which a part of the housing arranged above the wiper lip and a part of the housing arranged below the wiper lip support the wiper lip, depending on the position of the wiper lip.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a hand cleaner which, on the one hand, allows the contact pressure of the wiper lip to be adapted to the surface to be cleaned and, on the other hand, improves the cleaning effect of the hand cleaner in particular in the edge area of smooth surfaces.
  • the hand cleaner comprises a holder, a wiper lip and a pressure element, the wiper lip having a first distal end which can be fixed to the holder, the wiper lip having a wiping edge at the distal end opposite the first end, the wiping edge having a lip length is spaced from the first distal end, wherein the pressure element has a more rigid material than the wiper lip and is supported on the holder, wherein the pressure element can be brought into engagement in a pressure area on the wiper lip in order to support the wiper lip when it is bent.
  • the holder of the hand cleaner preferably comprises a housing and a handle which can be picked up by the user of the hand cleaner in order to guide the hand cleaner along a surface to be cleaned.
  • the wiper lip is an elastically deformable body which can be fixed or preferably fixed with its first distal end on the holder.
  • a form-fitting engagement is particularly suitable, since it is on this Way, the wiper lip can be removed from the holder after releasing the form-fitting engagement and can be replaced if necessary.
  • the holder is particularly preferably designed in at least two parts, the holder being composed of two halves of a housing and the housing halves being able to be fixed to one another by means of screws.
  • the wiper lip is advantageously inserted into a corresponding engagement geometry in each of the two halves of the holder and fixed on the holder in a form-fitting manner.
  • the wiper lip is particularly preferably designed as a flat body, the wiper lip having a significantly greater extent or extent in two spatial directions than in a third spatial direction.
  • the wiper lip preferably has a trapezoidal shape.
  • the wiper lip has a wiping edge which is preferably designed essentially straight and is suitable for being attached to a smooth surface in order to draw off liquid adhering to this surface.
  • the wiper lip has a lip length with which the wiper edge is spaced from the first distal end.
  • the wiping edge and the first distal end are preferably formed parallel to one another.
  • the pressure element is at least partially made of more rigid material than the wiper lip and is supported directly or indirectly on the holder or is in engagement with it.
  • the pressure element is arranged on the holder in such a way that, when the wiper lip is deformed, it transmits a force to the wiper lip which counteracts the deformation or bending of the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element itself is preferably also elastically deformable, so that when the wiper lip is bent, the pressure element is preferably also elastically bent. The moment that the pressure element absorbs from the wiper lip is preferably transmitted to the holder of the hand cleaner, with a corresponding engagement geometry being provided between the pressure element and the holder, which supports the pressure element directly or indirectly.
  • the material of the wiper lip can preferably be arranged between the pressure element and the holder, for example in the event that the Pressure element is cast into the wiper lip.
  • a bending of the wiper lip occurs preferably when the hand cleaner is used by pressing the wiper lip against the surface to be cleaned.
  • the wiper lip can be pressed locally more strongly against the surface to be cleaned than in other areas in which the pressure element does not transmit any force to the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element has a width that is preferably significantly smaller than the blade width of the wiper lip.
  • the width of the pressure element is particularly preferably less than a fifth of the sheet width, particularly preferably less than a sixth of the sheet width.
  • the pressure element preferably supports the wiper lip when the wiper lip is bent about a transverse axis running along the first distal end.
  • the transverse axis is preferably the axis around which the wiper lip is bent when the hand cleaner is in use.
  • the transverse axis is preferably the axis around which the front part of the wiper lip is pivoted in the area of the wiper edge and is preferably in the area of the wiper lip which borders on the attachment of the wiper lip to the holder.
  • the transverse axis is thus preferably located where the wiper lip is no longer supported by the holder and the material of the wiper lip is freely bent when it is pressed against a surface to be cleaned.
  • the pressure element is preferably designed to support the wiper lip only against bending of the wiper lip about the transverse axis.
  • the transverse axis is thus preferably defined as a reference geometry for the force transmitted in the pressure area between the pressure element and the wiper lip.
  • the wiper lip has a first side edge and a second side edge, the first side edge being spaced from the second side edge by a sheet width, the minimum distance of the printing area from the first or the second side edge, preferably of the next of the two side edges, is smaller than a third of the sheet width in the area of the printing area.
  • the first and the second side edge thus preferably connect the wiper edge and the first distal end of the wiper lip to one another.
  • the pressure area in which the pressure element transmits a supporting force to the wiper lip is arranged close to one of the two side edges. In other words, the minimum distance of the print area from the first or the second side edge is the smallest distance that the print area has from the respective side edge.
  • An arrangement of the pressure area within the first third starting from the next side edge is advantageous since in this way an optimal deformation of the wiper lip when cleaning a smooth surface which has unevenness in its edge area can be achieved. Furthermore, by arranging the pressure area in the outer third of the wiper lip, the optimum pressing of the wiper edge of the wiper blade against the smooth surface is achieved.
  • the maximum distance between the print area and the respective closer side edge is preferably less than a third of the sheet width in the area of the print area.
  • the expression sheet width in the area of the printing area means in this context that if the first and second side edges do not run parallel to one another, the sheet width can change in the course of the wiper lip starting from the first distal end up to the wiper edge.
  • the sheet width relevant to the preferred ratio is defined as the sheet width at the level of the printing area for determining the geometric arrangement of the printing area on the wiper lip.
  • the maximum distance between the print area and the closer side edge is measured between the side of the print area facing away from the next side edge.
  • the pressure area is thus arranged completely within one of the outer thirds of the wiper lip.
  • a preferred contact pressure and a wipe characteristic resulting therefrom for the wiper lip on the smooth surface can be set.
  • smooth surfaces, which are rounded or rounded on their outer edges have slightly concave geometries can be optimally cleaned with the hand cleaner.
  • the maximum distance between the printing area and the respective closer side edge is less than a fifth of the sheet width in the area of the printing area.
  • the minimum distance between the pressure area and the wiping edge is less than a third of the lip length in the area of the pressure area.
  • the arrangement of the pressure area in the front part of the wiper lip ie the part closer to the wiper edge, is preferred in order to achieve an optimal effect of the force transmission of the pressure element to the wiper lip. It is therefore preferred that the pressure element transfers its force in the pressure area to the wiper lip at least in the front third of the lip length of the wiper lip in order to achieve the most direct possible support of the wiper edge by the pressure element. This support is understandably most direct and immediate when the pressure element acts on the wiper lip directly on or just behind the wiper edge.
  • the material of the pressure element particularly preferably has a flexural strength which is 5-1000 times, preferably 10-500 times and particularly preferably 15-200 times the flexural strength of the material of the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element is particularly preferably made of thermoplastic material and is in turn elastically deformable. In order to achieve sufficient support of the very easily elastically deformable wiper lip by the pressure element, it is advantageous if the material of the pressure element is significantly more rigid than the material of the wiper lip.
  • the modulus of elasticity of the respective, essentially homogeneous production material is particularly preferably used as the material parameter for the flexural rigidity.
  • the pressure element is preferably made of ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).
  • This material preferably has a modulus of elasticity of 1500 N / mm 2 to 2800 N / mm 2 . It has been shown that depending on the application and depending on the material thickness of the pressure element, a flexural rigidity of 5 to 1000 times the flexural rigidity of the material of the wiper lip can achieve sufficient pressure support by the pressure element and at the same time avoid a tendency of the pressure element to brittle fracture. With a relatively low flexural rigidity of the pressure element, its elastic deformability is particularly preferably higher and it is less prone to brittle fracture than a particularly rigid pressure element.
  • the upper limit of the flexural rigidity ratio of 500 is still sufficient to achieve a particularly high pressure of the wiping edge in its edge areas on the surface to be cleaned in order to optimally draw off liquid from the surface to be cleaned cleaning surface.
  • the particularly preferred range of 15-200 for the ratio of the two flexural stiffnesses allows in particular a weight-saving construction of the pressure element, since the materials used here have a relatively high elastic deformability with a moderately higher flexural strength compared to the wiper lip and thus the pressure element can be designed with relatively thin walls .
  • a 200-fold flexural strength of the material of the pressure element is sufficient, in particular for window wipers which are intended to achieve an optimal wiping effect in the side areas of window panes.
  • the wiper lip consists of elastic silicone.
  • Elastic silicone is characterized in particular by its resistance to chemical substances as well as solar radiation and has a consistently high elastic deformability, whereby the optimal position and location of the wiping edge relative to the cleaning surface by adjusting the angle of the holder relative to the cleaning surface and selecting a certain contact force cleaning area can be set by the user.
  • the wiper lip particularly preferably has a T-shaped cross section, i. that in the end area of the wiper edge there is a smaller wiper lip running transversely to the main direction of extent of the remaining wiper lip.
  • This smaller wiper lip achieves a particularly sharp-edged attachment of the seat edge, which is thus sitting at the tip of the T-shaped geometry, to the surface to be cleaned, which on the one hand reduces the resistance when pulling off the surface to be cleaned and, on the other hand, a local lifting of the wiping edge from the to cleaning surface is prevented.
  • the pressure element preferably touches the wiper lip in the state in which the wiper lip is not deformed, that is to say is in its rest position.
  • a deformation of the wiper lip in the direction of the pressure element leads directly to a deformation of the pressure element. It is advantageous here that the wiper lip is thus always supported by the pressure element when it is deformed by being pressed against a window.
  • the wiper lip extends in a rest position essentially along a rest plane and is spaced from the pressure element, the wiper lip being deformable into a first deflected position in which the wiper lip touches the pressure element in the pressure area, wherein in the first deflected position the The distance between the pressure area and the plane of rest is in a ratio of 0.05-0.8, preferably 0.1-0.6 and particularly preferably 0.1-0.4 to the length of the lip.
  • the formulation that the wiper lip extends essentially along the plane of repose relates, on the one hand, to the fact that the wiper lip has a certain thickness which, however, is significantly less than the extension of the wiper lip in the two main directions of the plane of repose.
  • the first deflected position of the wiper lip is characterized in that the wiper lip touches the pressure element and a pressure area is formed in which the pressure element transmits a force to the wiper lip. In the rest position, however, the pressure element is preferably arranged at a distance from the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element only engaging the wiper lip in the pressure area when the wiper lip is deformed to a greater extent in the first deflected position.
  • the distance between the pressure area and the plane of rest is thus a measure of the deformation of the wiper lip until it comes into engagement with the pressure element.
  • This distance is preferably expressed as a ratio to the lip length, since it has been shown that this ratio allows a particularly optimal geometry of the wiper lip and the arrangement of the pressure element relative to the wiper lip.
  • the larger ratio range of 0.05-0.8 includes all embodiments of the hand cleaner tested within the scope of the present invention, the lower limit of the ratio being characterized in that the pressure element engages relatively early, ie when the wiper lip is deformed relatively slightly this arrives and thus a very early support by the pressure element takes place.
  • the pressure element engages relatively early, ie when the wiper lip is deformed relatively slightly this arrives and thus a very early support by the pressure element takes place.
  • the flexibility of the wiper lip is given over a wide area essentially uniformly along the entire wiper edge and in this context particularly slightly rounded or wavy surfaces can be cleaned without the local the wiper lip is pressed against the smooth surface more than in other areas.
  • a ratio range of 0.1-0.6 especially for window wipers which are used by inexperienced users, has particularly favorable properties, since the pressure element supports the pressing of the wiper lip against the surface to be cleaned by the pressure element comfortable deformation states of the wiper lip occurs.
  • the particularly preferred range of 0.1-0.4 of the ratio of the distance of the pressure area from the plane of rest to the length of the lips is designed especially for cleaning modern windows, which each have a sealing strip on their edges that forms a local unevenness.
  • the wiper lip is particularly preferably deformable into a second deflected position in which the pressure element is elastically deformed due to the force transmitted in the pressure area. After reaching the first deflected position in which the wiper lip comes into contact with the pressure element, the wiper lip can be further deformed into a second deflected position, the pressure element also being elastically deformed in this second deflected position. In this way, the contact pressure of the wiping edge against the surface to be cleaned can be further increased, since the elastic restoring force of the pressure element for pressing the wiping edge against the surface to be cleaned also contributes to the elastic restoring force of the wiper lip.
  • the side of the wiper lip on which the pressure element engages is advantageously designed so smoothly that the pressure element can slide along the top of the wiper lip in the event of further deformation of the wiper lip, while it deforms itself elastically and thus exerts an additional force on the wiper lip exercises.
  • the pressure element preferably has a first engagement section for preferably positively locking attachment to a second engagement section formed on the holder on, wherein the engagement portion of the pressure element secures at least against pivoting about a parallel to the transverse axis.
  • the first engagement section on the pressure element can preferably be designed as a projection which engages in a second engagement cutout, designed as a corresponding recess, on the holder.
  • the first engagement section and the second engagement section are particularly preferably designed as clip-in geometry, as a result of which the pressure element can be clipped onto the holder in a simple manner.
  • the first and second engagement sections secure the pressure element particularly preferably against pivoting or displacement of the pressure element about a direction parallel to the transverse axis in the region of the first and second engagement section. It goes without saying that the front edge of the pressure element engaging on the wiper lip can certainly be pivoted about a parallel to the transverse axis due to the elastic deformation of the pressure element.
  • the pressure element is preferably displaceably mounted on the holder, the pressure element being displaceable into a first position in which it cannot be brought into engagement with the wiper lip, the pressure element being displaceable into a second position in which it is in harmony with the wiper lip can be brought.
  • the pressure element is therefore preferably arranged or mounted on the holder so that it is secured against pivoting about a parallel to the transverse axis in other directions by the interaction of the first and the second engagement section.
  • the pressure element is arranged on the holder so that it can pivot and / or move transversely.
  • the pressure element particularly preferably has a first latching means which can be brought into engagement with a second latching means provided on the holder in order to hold the pressure element in the first position or in the second position.
  • the holding force between the first and the second latching means on the pressure element is advantageous as well as on the holder can be overcome with the simple manual force of the user.
  • the user can bring the pressure element into the respective other position, that is, either into engagement with the wiper lip or out of engagement with the wiper lip.
  • Either the first or the second locking means is preferably designed as a rounded projection, while the other corresponding locking means is designed as a recess, depression or groove.
  • the pressure element is pivotably fixed on the holder.
  • a pivotable fixing of the pressure element on the holder allows a particularly compact design, since the pressure element can be clipped onto the holder in a simple manner and can only be pivoted from the first position to the second or vice versa about one pivot axis.
  • further intermediate positions can be provided between the first and the second position, at which a first latching means on the pressure element can be brought into engagement with different corresponding latching means on the holder. In this way, the position of the pressure area on the wiper lip can be adapted accordingly by the user.
  • the pressure element can also be mounted on the holder such that it can be displaced transversely, although this construction is less compact but allows, for example, a shift of the pressure area along the wiper lip parallel to the lip length.
  • the distance between the printing area and the wiping edge can particularly preferably be adapted by the user depending on the application.
  • the first latching means of the pressure element is designed in such a way that when a limit force which acts along the displacement axis of the pressure element is reached, it allows the pressure element to be displaced along the direction of force.
  • the limit force is achieved in particular when the wiper lip is deformed to such an extent that the T-shaped lip, which is preferably provided on the wiper edge, abuts the pressure element. So that the T-shaped lip is not deformed in an unfavorable way by the pressure element, the first latching means yields advantageously to the force acting on the pressure element, wherein the pressure element moves away from the wiper edge and the pressure area moves back into the preferred area in the front third of the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element preferably has a plate-shaped force transmission section.
  • a force transmission section which is preferably designed in the form of a plate.
  • the pressure element in the force transmission section is designed as an essentially flat body which has a significantly greater extent in two spatial directions than in a third. In this way, the elastic deformability of the pressure element in the plate-shaped force transmission section can be optimally adapted to the deformation of the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element is arranged at least in some areas within the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element is thus at least partially surrounded by the material of the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element can be designed as a plate or sheet-shaped body and encased by the material of the wiper lip, with part of the pressure element, for example, protruding from the wiper lip in order to be attached to the holder or to a corresponding fixing geometry on the holder.
  • the pressure element can also preferably be located completely within the wiper lip, the pressure element also being secured against displacement and pivoting in this area by the holder in the area in which the holder surrounds the wiper lip and secures it against displacement.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is, on the one hand, the compact design of the wiper lip with an integrated pressure element.
  • the pressure element exerts a supporting force on the wiper lip, which also acts in two directions of deformation or pivoting of the wiper lip.
  • the hand cleaner has two pressure elements, one of which on each side or in the vicinity of a side edge of the wiper lip is arranged.
  • the hand cleaner can preferably also have three pressure elements, one of which is expediently arranged in the middle between the side edges, or have a multiplicity of pressure elements
  • a hand cleaner is provided according to the invention, which comprises a holder, a wiper lip and a pressure section, the wiper lip having a first distal end which can be fixed to the holder, the wiper lip having a wiping edge at its distal end opposite the first distal end, the wiping edge being spaced one lip length from the first distal end, the pressure section having a higher flexural rigidity than the remaining areas of the wiper lip and supporting the wiper lip when it is bent.
  • the pressure section is preferably a region of the wiper lip which has a greater thickness than the remaining regions of the wiper lip.
  • the arrangement of the pressure area on the wiper lip is similar to the arrangement of the pressure element of the previously described embodiments according to the invention on the edge of the wiper lip, in other words in the vicinity of one of the side edges of the wiper lip. Furthermore, it is preferred that the pressure section is supported on the holder and thus makes deformation of the wiper lip more difficult in the edge regions of the wiper lip. According to the invention, the pressure section is made from the same material as the wiper lip. In this context, a particularly simple production of the wiper lip can be achieved in that the pressure section is produced together with the wiper lip, for example by simultaneous casting of the wiper lip with the respective pressure section arranged thereon.
  • the pressure section has a maximum distance from the respectively closer side edge of the wiper lip, which is particularly preferably a third of the sheet width of the wiper lip in the area of the pressure section. It is further preferred that the pressure section has a material thickness which is at least twice, preferably 3 to 4 times, the material thickness of the wiper lip in the remaining areas of the wiper lip. The pressure section is thus preferably provided as a local material thickening or material reinforcement on the wiper lip. The advantage of producing the pressure section from the same material as the wiper lip is that the production of the wiper lip is simpler overall.
  • a disadvantage is that in order to achieve a certain stiffening effect through the pressure section, the thickness of which must be selected to be relatively high, so that the weight of the wiper lip with pressure section is significantly higher than the weight of a wiper lip, which is made of a stronger material Printing element is supported.
  • a hand cleaner with a pressure element made of a stronger material than the wiper lip is particularly preferred when the hand cleaner is light in weight.
  • a hand cleaner with a wiper lip which has a reinforcing pressure section made of the same material as the wiper lip is particularly preferred if the production costs are to be kept particularly low and at the same time a particularly low weight of the hand cleaner is not important.
  • the leading edge i.e. the edge of the pressure element pointing towards the wiping edge is aligned essentially parallel to the wiping edge in order to achieve a particularly favorable transmission of force to the wiper lip.
  • the pressure element can have local recesses which correspond to local projections on the wiper lip and thus to achieve uniform support of the wiper lip even with a surface of the wiper lip with local elevations. Local projections on the wiper blade can preferably be guide elements which guide the drawn off liquid along the wiper blade into a tank provided on the holder.

  • the pressure element can also be arranged in areas between the surface to be cleaned and the wiper lip, wherein it functions as a spacer for the wiper lip. In the preferred latter application, excessive pressing of the wiper lip against the surface to be cleaned can be avoided.
  • the user can advantageously be signaled that the wiper blade is being pressed too strongly against the surface to be cleaned when the pressure element comes into contact with it.
  • the user will naturally press the hand cleaner a little less against the surface to be cleaned in order to lift the pressure element off it again.
