Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Moppbezug und einen Mopphalter mit aufeinander abgestimmten Eingreifelementen, insbesondere für den Einsatz im gewerblichen Reinigungswesen, bevorzugt in Reinräumen und Kliniken.The present invention relates to a mop cover and a mop holder with coordinated engagement elements, in particular for use in commercial cleaning, preferably in clean rooms and clinics.

Im gewerblichen Reinigungswesen müssen große Flächen in kurzer Zeit gereinigt werden. Da die Schmutzaufnahmefähigkeit eines Mopptuches begrenzt ist, muß dieses von der Reinigungskraft regelmäßig gegen ein neues ausgetauscht und später gereinigt werden. Während der für den Austausch benötigten Zeit ruht die Reinigung, so dass es sowohl auf schnelle Wechselbarkeit des Mopptuchs als auch auf dessen einfache und gründliche Reinigung ankommt. Die Reinigungsfachkraft führt daher auf einem Reinigungswagen trockene oder vorbefeuchtete Moppbezüge in offenen oder geschlossenen Vorratsbehältern mit und entnimmt diese mittels eines Mopphalters.In commercial cleaning, large areas have to be cleaned in a short time. Since the dirt-holding capacity of a mop cloth is limited, it must be regularly replaced by the cleaning force for a new and cleaned later. During the time required for the exchange, the cleaning rests, so that it depends on both quick change of mop cloth and its simple and thorough cleaning. The cleaning specialist therefore leads on a cleaning trolley with dry or pre-moistened mop covers in open or closed storage containers and removes them by means of a mop holder.

Seid langem bekannt sind Moppbezüge mit einer Wischseite und einer gegenüberliegenden Führungsseite, wobei auf der Führungsseite zwei einander gegenüberliegende Eingriffstaschen für einen Mopphalter vorgesehen sind. Die beiden Seiten können auch durch jeweils eine auch zueinander unterschiedliche Materiallage verwirklicht werden, die dann an ihren jeweiligen, aufeinander zuweisenden Rückseiten miteinander verbunden sind. Derartige Moppbezüge werden in großem Umfang in der gewerblichen Reinigung auch und gerade von Reinräumen oder im Klinikbereich eingesetzt. Die Wisch- oder Arbeitsseite der Moppbezüge kann aus verschiedenen Materialien gefertigt sein, insbesondere aus Mikrofasern, die zu Schlaufen, einem Flor oder als Gewebe ausgebildet sind. Die Führungs- oder Halteseite dient dazu, die lösbare Verbindung des Moppbezuges zu einem Mopphalter herzustellen.Long been known mop covers with a wiping side and an opposite guide side, being provided on the guide side two opposing pockets for a mop holder. The two sides can also be realized by a respective mutually different material layer, which are then connected to each other at their respective, facing each other backs. Such mop covers are widely used in commercial cleaning and especially of clean rooms or in the hospital sector. The wiping or working side of the mop covers can be made of different materials, in particular of microfibers, which are formed into loops, a pile or as a fabric. The guide or holding side serves to make the detachable connection of the mop cover to a mop holder.

Die Eingriffstaschen bestehen in der Regel aus einer flächigen Stofflage, deren Hauptseite in etwa parallel zum Moppbezug verläuft und die an einer Seite offen und an den restlichen drei Seiten am Moppbezug angenäht oder allgemeiner festgelegt ist. Diese Taschen weisen mit ihren Öffnungen aufeinander zu und sind am Moppbezug mit größtmöglichem Abstand zueinander angeordnet, bei den üblichen rechteckigen Moppbezügen also im Bereich von deren Schmalseiten. Diese flächigen, weichen Stofflagentaschen liegen im unbenutzten Zustand des Moppbezuges auf der Halteseite auf, sind also für eine einzuführende Wischerplatte eher schlecht zugänglich.The pockets are usually made of a flat fabric layer whose main side is approximately parallel to the mop cover and which is sewn open on one side and on the remaining three sides of the mop cover or more generally fixed. These bags have with their openings towards each other and are arranged on the mop cover with the greatest possible distance from each other, in the usual rectangular mop covers so in the range of the narrow sides. These flat, soft fabric tabs are in the unused state of the mop cover on the holding side, so are rather difficult to access for a wiper plate to be introduced.

Gerade in der gewerblichen Anwendung müssen derartige Moppbezüge häufig gereinigt und sterilisiert werden, wobei geringe Flottenverhältnisse eingesetzt werden, also mit wenig Waschflotte eine große Warenmenge gereinigt wird. Trotz erfolgreicher Reinigung sammeln sich in den Eingriffstaschen mit der Zeit oftmals Fasern, Faserreste und Flusen, die, obwohl sie die Reinigung der Reinräume ganz überwiegend nicht gefährden, von den Anwendern zu Recht als potentielle Eintragsquelle von Verunreinigungen angesehen werden. Es ist daher bekannt, die Ecken der Taschen zu öffnen, also die der Eingriffsöffnung gegenüberliegende Seite der Tasche kürzer auszubilden als die Seite mit der Eingriffsöffnung. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass diese Maßnahme unzureichend ist und vor allem dazu führt, dass die Ecken der Wischerplatte des Mopphalters nicht mehr ausreichend vom Moppbezug umschlossen sind und so leicht gegen Wände, Fußleisten und Gegenstände stoßen können. Dies kann zu Beschädigungen am Mopphalter oder schlimmer am zu reinigenden Raum und dessen Einrichtung führen.Especially in commercial applications, such mop covers must be cleaned and sterilized frequently, with low liquor ratios are used, so with little wash liquor a large amount of goods is cleaned. Despite successful cleaning, pockets, fiber residues and lint often accumulate in the pockets with time, and although they do not endanger cleansing of the cleanrooms, they are rightly regarded by users as a potential source of contaminants. It is therefore known to open the corners of the pockets, that is, the side of the pocket opposite the engagement opening shorter than the side with the engagement opening. However, it has been shown that this measure is inadequate and above all means that the corners of the mop holder's mop holder are no longer sufficiently enclosed by the mop cover and can thus easily hit walls, skirting boards and objects. This can lead to damage to the mop holder or worse to the room to be cleaned and its device.

Ebenfalls bekannt ist, bei derartigen Mopptüchern auf der der Eingriffsöffnung gegenüberliegenden Seite der Eingriffstasche mindestens eine Öffnung außerhalb ihrer Eckbereiche vorzusehen oder die Eingreiftasche gleich aus miteinander verbundenen Stoff- oder Gewebestreifen aufzubauen, die ebenfalls flächig sind und in etwa parallel zum Moppbezug verlaufen. Hierdurch wird der Ein- und Austritt der Waschflotte und damit das Abführen von Verunreinigungen wie Fasern, Faserstücken oder dergleichen mehr deutlich erleichtert, es bilden sich keine oder kaum nicht durchströmte Totvolumina in der Eingriffstasche, insbesondere wird der Waschflotte ermöglicht, einen vom Einströmweg unterschiedlichen Abströmweg zu verwenden, so dass eine deutlich bessere Durchspülung gewährleistet ist. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass diese Bänder nur schwer mit dem Mopphalter greifbar sind, so dass eine Reinigungsfachkraft eigentlich ihre Hände zuhilfe nehmen müsste, was jedoch aus kontaminationsgründen unerwünscht ist. Nachteilig ist auch, dass die Ecken des Moppbezuges so nur schlecht geführt sind und leicht umklappen, nach Art eines Eselsohrs. Dies erschwert oder verhindert gar eine gründliche Reinigung.It is also known, in such mop cloths on the opposite side of the engagement opening of the pocket at least to provide an opening outside their corner areas or to build the engaging pocket equal from interconnected fabric or fabric strips, which are also flat and run approximately parallel to the mop cover. As a result, the inlet and outlet of the wash liquor and thus the removal of impurities such as fibers, pieces of fiber or the like is much easier, there are no or hardly any traversed dead volumes in the pocket, in particular, the wash liquor is possible, a different inflow from the inflow to Use, so that a significantly better flushing is guaranteed. The disadvantage, however, that these bands are difficult to reach with the mop holder, so that a cleaning specialist would actually have to take their hands to help, but this is undesirable for contamination reasons. Another disadvantage is that the corners of the mop cover are so poorly managed and fold easily, like a dog's ear. This complicates or even prevents a thorough cleaning.

Aus der EP 1 994 871 A1 ist ein Reinigungsbezug mit zwei Einschubtaschen aus Kunststoff bekannt, die stets zur Aufnahme eines Mophalters offen stehen. Diese Kunststofftaschen sind aufgenäht oder aufgeschweist und weisen seitliche, keilförmige Führungsflanken auf, die sich senkrecht zur Halteseite des Moppbezuges erstrecken. Zusätzlich können in den Ecken der Kunststofftaschen Öffnungen vorgesehen sein, um Reinigungsflotte austreten zu lassen. Diese Kunststofftaschen stehen damit stets von der Halteseite des Moppbezuges ab und liegen im unbenutzten Zustand nicht parallel zu diesem auf diesem auf, erstrecken sich also orthogonal zu der Hauptfläche des Moppbezuges.From the EP 1 994 871 A1 is a cleaning cover with two pockets made of plastic known, which are always open to receive a mop holder. These plastic bags are sewn or attached and have lateral, wedge-shaped guide flanks extending perpendicular to the holding side of the mop cover. In addition, openings may be provided in the corners of the plastic pockets to allow cleaning liquor to escape. These plastic bags are thus always from the support side of the mop cover and are not in the unused state parallel to this on this, so extend orthogonal to the main surface of the mop cover.

Aus der DE G 93 20 808 U1 ist ein ähnliches Kunststoffteil als Tasche bekannt, bei dem sich die gegenüber der Eingriffsöffnung für die Wischerplatte eine Öffnung im Mittenbereich der Tasche befindet. Die Kunststofftaschen erstrecken sich dabei bis in die Ecken des Moppbezuges, der randläufig eine eingenähte Kunststoffversteifung aufweist.From the DE G 93 20 808 U1 is a similar plastic part known as a bag, in which the opposite of the engagement opening for the wiper plate is an opening in the middle region of the bag. The Plastic bags extend into the corners of the mop cover, which has a sewn plastic stiffener at the edge.

Die DE 44 39 363 A1 offenbart einen Moppbezug, bei dem zur Verstärkung umlaufend ebenfalls ein Gummiprofil in den nach oben umgeschlagenen Rand eines Moppbezuges eingenäht ist. Zusätzlich ist ein nur an seinen beiden gegenüberliegenden Enden mit dem Moppbezug an dessen Schmalseite vernähter Textilstreifen vorgesehen, der durch Aufspreizung durch das Gummiprofil im Nahtbereich etwas aufsteht und damit das Einführen einer Wischerplatte erleichtert.The DE 44 39 363 A1 discloses a mop cover, in which for reinforcement circumferentially also a rubber profile is sewn into the turned-up edge of a mop cover. In addition, only at its two opposite ends with the mop cover sewn to the narrow side textile strip is provided which rises slightly by spreading through the rubber profile in the seam area and thus facilitates the insertion of a wiper plate.

Aus der US 5 553 344 A ist ein Moppbezug bestehend aus mehreren Tuchlagen bekannt, der eine Platte mit zwei im Wesentlichen orthogonal davon abstehenden Verbindungselementen aufweist, welche in etwa tropfenförmig und als klipsartige Verbindungselementedienen ausgestaltet sind. Weiter ist aus diesem Stand der Technik ein Mopphalter bekannt, der eine rechteckige Wischerplatte aufweist.From the US 5 553 344 A is a mop cover consisting of several layers of cloth known having a plate with two substantially orthogonal therefrom projecting connecting elements, which are designed approximately drop-shaped and serving as a clip-like connecting elements. Furthermore, a mop holder is known from this prior art, which has a rectangular wiper plate.

Aus der GB 950 408 A ist ein Schwammmopp bekannt, der zwei Paare von miteinander verbundenen Verbindungselementen aufweist, die jeweils als Clips ausgebildet sind und die durchgreifbar und untergreifbar sind und orthogonal vom Schwamm abstehen. Weiterhin ist daraus ein Schwammmopphalter bekannt, der eine Platte aufweist, welche an einen Stiel mit einem Gelenk anbringbar ist, aufweisend vier zu den Verbindungselementen des Schwammmopps korrespondierende Verbindungselemente.From the GB 950 408 A a sponge mop is known, which has two pairs of interconnected fasteners, which are each formed as clips and which are tangible and underreaching and orthogonal projecting from the sponge. Furthermore, a sponge mop holder is known, which has a plate which can be attached to a handle with a joint, comprising four connecting elements corresponding to the connecting elements of the sponge mop.

Aus der US 2012/060313 ist ein Moppbezughalter bekannt, der Verbindungselemente aufweist, die umlegbar und mit weiteren, dazu korrespondierenden Verbindungselementen verbindbar und so einen dazwischen eingelegten Moppbezug einklemmbar sind. Weiterhin weist der Moppbezughalter mindestens ein Verbindungselement auf, an dem ein Stiel oder ein Gelenk anbringbar ist.From the US 2012/060313 a mop cover holder is known which has connecting elements, which can be folded and with other, corresponding thereto connecting elements connectable and thus an inserted therebetween mop cover can be clamped. Further points the mop cover holder on at least one connecting element, on which a stem or a joint can be attached.

Die im Rahmen der gewerblichen Reinigung eingesetzten Mopphalter weisen üblicherweise einen Stil auf, der an seinem bodenseitigen Ende mittels eines Stilhalters in einem Gelenk befestigt ist, das wiederum mit einer Wischerplatte verbunden ist. Das Gelenk setzt dabei in etwa in der Mitte der Wischerplatte an, um einen möglichst gleichmäßigen Anpressdruck des Mopptuches auf den Boden zu ermöglichen. Die Wischerplatte weist in der Regel Klappflügel auf, deren abgeklappte Enden in die Eingriffstaschen eingeführt und danach aufgeklappt und arretiert werden. Hierdurch wird der gegriffene Moppbezug leicht um den Mopphalter gespannt und ist einsetzbar. Die Enden der Wischerplatte bilden damit Befestigungseinrichtungen.The mop holders used in the commercial cleaning usually have a style which is fixed at its bottom end by means of a style holder in a joint, which in turn is connected to a wiper plate. The joint sets in approximately in the middle of the wiper plate to allow the most uniform contact pressure of the mop cloth on the ground. The wiper plate usually has folding wings, the folded ends are inserted into the pockets and then opened and locked. As a result, the gripped mop cover is easily stretched around the mop holder and can be used. The ends of the wiper plate thus form fastening devices.

Es ist nun Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Mopptuch und einen Mopphalter anzugeben, die einen schnellen Wechsel der Mopptücher bei gleichzeitig hoher Reinigbarkeit und günstiger Fertigung der Mopptücher erlauben. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Moppbezug aufweisend eine Arbeitsseite und eine Halteseite, wobei die Halteseite zwei oder mehr erste Verbindungselemente aufweist, wobei die Verbindungselemente einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweisen, wobei die Verbindungselemente aus einem Kunststoff bestehen, wobei die Verbindungselemente steif und sich überwiegend orthogonal zu einer Hauptebene der Halteseite erstreckend ausgebildet sind, dadurch gelöst, dass mindestens ein Verbindungselement durchgreifbar und untergreifbar ausgebildet ist und sein Befestigungsabschnitt mit dem Moppbezug vernäht ist. Im Gegensatz zu den bisherigen flächigen Taschen oder Gewebestreifen, die sich im wesentlichen parallel zur Oberfläche des Moppbezuges erstreckend und nicht orthogonal dazu sind und im Gegensatz zu der steifen aufstehenden und sich im wesentlichen orthogonal zu einer Hauptebene der Halteseite erstreckenden Tasche aus Plastik schlägt die Erfindung nunmehr ein Verbindungselement vor, welches sowohl untergreifbar als auch durchgreifbar ist. Hierbei versteht die Erfindung unter steifen Verbindungselementen solche, die im Vergleich zum Material des Moppbezuges wesentlich schwerer zu verformen sind, also unter höherem Kraftaufwand. Beispielhafte steife Materialien im Sinne der Erfindung sind Kunststoffe oder Kompositmaterialien, beispielhafte steife Ausgestaltungen sind solche, bei denen das ganze Verbindungselement aus einem steifen Material besteht oder solche, bei denen es aus einer Gerüststruktur von steifem Material gebildet ist, wie beispielsweise einer Gitternetzstruktur, gegebenfalls ergänzt um eine weichere Umhüllung oder Füllung. Erfindungsgemäß wären daher auch Verbindungselemente aus einem Metallkern, beschichtet mit einem Weichkunststoff. Diese Verbindungselemente erstrecken sich orthogonal von der Oberfläche der Halteseite weg, wobei der Begriff orthogonal nicht streng mathematisch aufzufassen ist. Erfindungsgemäß sind daher auch solche Erstreckungen, bei denen zwischen der Flächennormalen des Moppbezuges und der tatsächlichen oder gedachten Längsachse des Verbindungselements ein Winkel eingeschlossen ist, bis hin zu einer Ausgestaltung, bei der ein Teil des Verbindungselements parallel zur Hauptfläche verläuft, insbesondere eines der Enden des Verbindungselementes. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird mit großem Vorteil eine Verschmutzungsanfälligkeit des Moppbezuges vermieden, ohne dass er deshalb schwieriger auf einen Mopphalter aufzuziehen oder von diesem zu lösen wäre oder nicht vollständig gespannt gehaltert würde. Mit ganz großem Vorteil ist wenigstens eines der Verbindungselemente erfindungsgemäß sowohl untergreifbar als auch durchgreifbar. Zusätzlich zu der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten, untergreifbaren Tasche ist dieses Erfindungselement auch durchgreifbar, ermöglicht es also einem durchsetzenden Teil eines Mopphalters, sich bis in die Ecken und/oder sich bis sehr nah an die Schmalseite des Moppbezuges zu erstrecken, um den Moppbezug so möglichst vollflächig im Einsatzfall auf dem zu reinigenden Bodenbelag anliegend zu halten. Mit Vorteil wird so eine Erstreckung des steifen Kunststoffmaterials bis in die Ecken des Moppbezuges vermieden, wo sie beim Einsatz an möglicherweise empflindliche Oberflächen, Geräte, etc. anstoßen und diese beschädigen könnten. Die nur untergreifbaren Taschen aus dem Stand der Technik ermöglichen dies nicht, weder in ihrer weichen Textilform noch in der beschriebenen, steifen Kunststoffform. Gleichzeitig führt die Durchgreifbarkeit zu einer sehr weiten Öffnung in Richtung auf die Schmalseite des Moppbezuges gesehen, so dass Waschflotte problemlos ein- und Austreten kann, Ansammlungen von Fusseln, Staub und ähnlichem sind aufgrund des orthogonalen Verlaufs und damit Abstandes zur Halteseite praktisch vollständig ausgeschlossen. Eine umlaufende Randverstärkung wird vermieden, was die Herstellung des Moppbezuges vergünstigt, ohne seine Einsatzfähigkeit zu beeinträchtigen.It is an object of the invention to provide a mop cloth and a mop holder, which allow a quick change of mop cloths at the same time high cleanability and favorable production of mop cloths. This object is achieved with a mop cover having a working side and a holding side, wherein the holding side has two or more first connecting elements, wherein the connecting elements have a fixing portion, wherein the connecting elements consist of a plastic, wherein the connecting elements stiff and predominantly orthogonal to a main plane of the Holding side extending formed, achieved in that at least one connecting element is formed tangible and underreaching and its attachment portion is sewn to the mop cover. In contrast to the previous planar pockets or fabric strips that are substantially parallel to the surface of the mop cover extending and not orthogonal thereto and in contrast to the stiff upstanding and substantially orthogonal to a The main level of the holding side extending pocket made of plastic, the invention proposes now a connecting element, which is both under reach and durchgreifbar. In this case, the invention under stiff connecting elements means those which are much more difficult to deform in comparison to the material of the mop cover, that is, with a higher expenditure of force. Exemplary rigid materials in the context of the invention are plastics or composite materials, exemplary rigid embodiments are those in which the entire connecting element consists of a rigid material or those in which it is formed from a skeleton structure of rigid material, such as a lattice structure, optionally supplemented a softer serving or filling. Therefore, according to the invention would also fasteners of a metal core, coated with a soft plastic. These connecting elements extend orthogonally away from the surface of the holding side, wherein the term orthogonal is not strictly mathematical. According to the invention, therefore, those extensions in which an angle is included between the surface normal of the mop cover and the actual or imaginary longitudinal axis of the connecting element, to an embodiment in which a part of the connecting element is parallel to the main surface, in particular one of the ends of the connecting element , With this configuration, a susceptibility to fouling of the mop cover is avoided with great advantage, without that he would therefore be more difficult to raise or to be solved by a mop holder or would not be held completely taut. With very great advantage, at least one of the connecting elements according to the invention both underreaching and durchgreifbar. In addition to the known from the prior art, engrossbaren bag this invention element is also durchgreifbar, thus allowing an enforcing part of a mop holder, down to the corners and / or up to very close to the To extend the narrow side of the mop cover to keep the mop cover as full as possible in the application on the floor to be cleaned fitting. Advantageously, an extension of the rigid plastic material is avoided as far as the corners of the mop cover, where they could impact on potentially sensitive surfaces, devices, etc., and damage them. The only reachable pockets of the prior art do not allow this, neither in their soft textile form nor in the described, rigid plastic mold. At the same time, the reachability leads to a very wide opening in the direction of the narrow side of the mop cover, so that wash liquor can enter and exit without difficulty, accumulations of lint, dust and the like are practically completely excluded due to the orthogonal course and thus distance to the holding side. A circumferential edge reinforcement is avoided, which reduces the production of the mop cover without affecting its usefulness.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass mindestens ein Verbindungselement zusätzlich auch umgreifbar ausgebildet ist, also von einer Wischerplatte durchsetzbar, untergreifbar und umgreifbar ist. Dies stellt eine optimale Halterung des Moppbezuges am Mopphalter sicher und ermöglicht mit Vorteil ein sicheres und vollständiges Spannen des Moppbezuges auf einem Mopphalter sowie im Benutzungsfall dessen vollflächigen Anliegen auf dem zu reinigenden Bodenbelag. Dies bedingt auch einen gewissen Abstand des Verbindungselements von den Längsseiten des Moppbezuges, um ein Umgreifen zu ermöglichen, da die Wischerplatte selbstverständlich nicht über den Rand des Moppbezuges hinausragen darf, vielmehr stets von diesem vor einem Anstoßen wie beschrieben geschützt werden muß. Die Verbindungselemente sind erfindungsgemäß für einen Formschluß oder für eine Kombination aus Form- und Kraftschluß mit korrespondierenden Verbindungselmenten eines Mopphalters vorgesehen. Hierzu können sie beispielsweise zylinderförmig ausgebildet sein, mit rundem, ovalen oder mehreckigem Querschnitt. Die Mantelfläche dieses Zylinders ist dabei zum Umgriff durch korrespondierend geformte Verbindungsmittel des Mopphalters ausgelegt. Die Verbindungsmittel des Moppbezuges sind auch erfindungsgemäß, wenn sie einen Eingriff aufweisen, also eine Öffnung, die von korrespondierend geformten Verbindungsmitteln des Mopphalters durchsetzbar sind. Ebenso ist die kinematische Umkehrung erfindungsgemäß, wenn also die Verbindungsmittel des Moppbezuges in eine Öffnung des Mopphalters eingreifend ausgebildet sind. Sie sind ebenfalls erfindungsgemäß, wenn sie einen Untergriff aufweisen, also eine solche Ausgestaltung, die von korrespondierend geformten Verbindungsmitteln des Mopphalters untergreifbar sind, wozu auch hier die kinematische Umkehrung gehört.In a further development of the invention, it is provided that at least one connecting element is additionally designed to be able to be gripped over, that is to say can be engaged by a wiper plate, that it can be engaged and grasped. This ensures optimal retention of the mop cover on the mop holder and advantageously allows safe and complete clamping of the mop cover on a mop holder and in the case of use whose full-surface concerns on the floor to be cleaned. This also requires a certain distance of the connecting element from the longitudinal sides of the mop cover to allow grasping, since the wiper plate is not allowed to protrude beyond the edge of the mop cover, of course, must always be protected from this as before a bumping as described. The connecting elements are according to the invention for a positive connection or for a combination of positive and non-positive connection with corresponding Verbindungselmenten provided a mop holder. For this purpose, they may for example be cylindrical, with a round, oval or polygonal cross-section. The lateral surface of this cylinder is designed to wrap around by correspondingly shaped connecting means of the mop holder. The connecting means of the mop cover are also according to the invention, if they have an engagement, so an opening, which can be enforced by correspondingly shaped connecting means of the mop holder. Likewise, the kinematic reversal according to the invention, so if the connecting means of the mop cover are formed engaging in an opening of the mop holder. They are also according to the invention, if they have an undergrip, that is such a configuration, which can be underreachable by correspondingly shaped connecting means of the mop holder, which also includes the kinematic reversal here.

Besonders einfach ist die Weiterbildung der Verbindungselemente als solche mit einem freien Ende, insbesondere einem pilzförmig geformten freien Ende. Der so gebildete Untergriff ist mechanisch stabil, gleichzeitig kann der zylindrische Abschnitt umgriffen werden, so dass eine Kombination aus Unter- und Umgriff vorliegt.Particularly simple is the development of the connecting elements as such with a free end, in particular a mushroom-shaped free end. The undercut thus formed is mechanically stable, at the same time, the cylindrical portion can be embraced, so that there is a combination of under- and wraparound.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Verbindungselemente paarweise miteinander verbunden ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch lassen sie sich einfacher und schneller auf dem Moppbezug befestigen, als wenn sie einzeln wären.In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the connecting elements are formed in pairs connected to each other. This makes them easier and faster to attach to the mop cover, as if they were individually.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein Verbindungselement als Band ausgebildet ist, welches zwei Abstandsabschnitte, zwei Befestigungsabschnitte und einen Untergriff aufweist. Ein solches Band ist erfindungsgemäß nur im Bereich seiner beiden Enden, die jeweils als Befestigungsabschnitte ausgebildet sind, mit dem Moppbezug vernäht, wobei diese Nähte im Bereich der Längsseiten des Moppbezuges liegend sind. Mit anderen Worten bildet dieses Band keine Tasche, ist also vollständig von Reinigungsflotte durchspülbar. Das Band weist eine axiale Länge auf und eine Dicke, die nicht notwendigerweise über dessen axiale Länge gleichbleibend sein muß. Die beiden, sich jeweils an einen Befestigungsabschnitt anschließenden Abstandsabschnitt sind orthogonal im Sinne der Erfindung verlaufend und dienen dazu, den Untergriff dauerhaft beabstandet zur Hauptfläche des Moppbezuges zu halten, wobei dieser überwiegend parallel zu dieser verlaufend orientiert ist. Ein solches steifes Kunststoffband ist mit großem Vorteil stets für eine Wischerplatte geöffnet und ermöglicht ein gleichzeitiges Untergreifen, Durchgreifen und Umgreifen, wobei ersteres im Bereich des Untergriffs und letzteres im Bereich der Abstandsabschnitte erfolgend ist.In a further development of the invention, it is provided that at least one connecting element is designed as a band which has two spacer sections, two fastening sections and one lower handle. Such a band is according to the invention only in the region of its two ends, which are each formed as fastening sections with sewn to the mop cover, these seams lying in the region of the longitudinal sides of the mop cover. In other words, this band does not form a pocket, so it is completely rinsable by cleaning fluid. The band has an axial length and a thickness which does not necessarily have to be constant over the axial length thereof. The two, each adjoining a mounting portion spacer portion are orthogonal in the context of the invention extending and serve to keep the lower handle permanently spaced from the main surface of the mop cover, which is oriented predominantly parallel to this. Such a stiff plastic band is always opened with great advantage for a wiper plate and allows a simultaneous gripping, reaching through and embracing, the former being in the region of the lower handle and the latter in the region of the spacer sections.

Zur genannten Befestigung weisen die Verbindungselemente einen Befestigungsabschnitt auf. Dieser ist bevorzugt dem Abschnitt des Verbindungsmittels gegenüberliegend ausgebildet, der zur Verbindung mit Verbindungsmitteln des Mopphalters dienen. Der Befestigungsabschnitt ist beispielsweise bandartig flach ausgebildet, um mit dem Moppbezug vernähbar zu sein oder nach Art eines Niet ausgebildet, der das Gewebe des Mopptuches durchsetzt. Mischformen sind ebenfalls möglich. Schließlich ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Verbindungselemente aus einem chemikalienresisten und abriebfesten, insbesondere autoklavierbaren Kunststoff bestehen. Derartige Kunststoffe sind steif genug, um die durch den Mopphalter ausgeübten Kräften auch über einen langen Betriebszeitraum standzuhalten und auch geeignet, den häufigen Waschzyklen des Moppbezuges standzuhalten.For said attachment, the connecting elements on a mounting portion. This is preferably formed opposite to the portion of the connecting means, which serve for connection with connecting means of the mop holder. The attachment portion is formed, for example, strip-like flat to be suturable with the mop cover or formed in the manner of a rivet, which passes through the fabric of the mop cloth. Mixed forms are also possible. Finally, the invention provides that the connecting elements consist of a chemical-resistant and abrasion-resistant, in particular autoclavable plastic. Such plastics are stiff enough to withstand the forces exerted by the mop holder even over a long period of operation and are also capable of withstanding the frequent wash cycles of the mop cover.

Die Erfindung wird auch durch einen Mopphalter, aufweisend eine in etwa rechteckförmige Wischerplatte, dadurch gelöst, dass die Wischerplatte zu den Verbindungselementen des Moppbezuges korrespondierend geformte, zweite Verbindungselemente aufweist. Deren Ausgestaltung ist daher nachrangig zu denjenigen des Moppbezuges und folgt diesen. Mit anderen Worten: Weisen die Verbindungselemente des Mopptuches einen Eingriff auf, sind diejenigen des Mopphalters als Eingriff ausgebildet, sind sie als Untergriffe ausgebildet, sind diejenigen des Mopphalters ein Untergriff. Die durchsetzbaren und untergreifbaren ersten Verbindungselemente eines erfindungsgemäßen Moppbezuges korrespondieren also zu entsprechend geformten Durchsetz- und Untergreifverbindungselementen des erfindungsgemäßen Mopphalters.The invention is also achieved by a mop holder, comprising an approximately rectangular wiper plate, characterized in that the wiper plate to the connecting elements of the mop cover has correspondingly shaped, second connecting elements. Their design is therefore subordinate to those of the mop cover and follows them. In other words, if the connecting elements of the mop cloth have an engagement, those of the mop holder are designed as an engagement, if they are designed as underlatches, those of the mop holder are an undergrip. The enforceable and under-graspable first connecting elements of a mop cover according to the invention thus correspond to correspondingly shaped penetration and lower engagement elements of the mop holder according to the invention.

In Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Mopphalters ist vorgesehen, dass die Wischerplatte an ihren Schmalseiten jeweils einen sich verjüngend ausgebildeten Abschnitt aufweist, insbesondere einen sich konisch verjüngenden Abschnitt. Dieser Abschnitt erstreckt sich erfindungsgemäß auch entlang einer Längsachse der rechteckförmigen Wischerplatte und ist nicht nur unmittelbar an deren Schmalseiten ausgebildet. Dieser Abschnitt weist eine Weite auf, die kleiner als diejenige von Untergriff und beiden Abstandsabschnitten zusammen, so dass er diese untergreifen und durchsetzen kann. Unter Durchsetzen wird hierbei verstanden, dass sich der Abschnitt der Wischerplatte im Einsatzfall von erfindungsgemäßem Moppbezug und erfindungsgemäßem Mopphalter auf beiden Längsseiten des Bandes erstreckend ist.In an embodiment of the mop holder according to the invention it is provided that the wiper plate in each case has a tapered section on its narrow sides, in particular a conically tapering section. According to the invention, this section also extends along a longitudinal axis of the rectangular wiper plate and is not formed directly on its narrow sides. This section has a width which is smaller than that of undergrip and two spacer sections together so that he can attack and enforce them. By enforcing is meant here that the section of the wiper plate in the application of inventive mop cover and inventive mop holder on both longitudinal sides of the strip is extending.

Weist die Wischerplatte zu dem sich verjüngend ausgebildeten Abschnitt benachbart angeordnete Stege auf, so ist mit großem Vorteil erreicht, dass diese Stege im Benutzungsfall den auf der Wischerplatte aufgespannten Moppbezug auch in den Randbereichen stützend sind, so dass der Moppbezug vollflächig auf einem Untergrund aufliegend gehalten werden kann.If the wiper plate has webs arranged adjacently to the tapered section, it is achieved with great advantage that these webs, in the case of use, support the mop cover clamped on the wiper plate, also in the edge regions that the mop cover over the entire surface can be kept resting on a substrate.

In Ausgestaltung des Mopphalters ist vorgesehen, dass er einen Stielhalter und/oder ein Gelenk und/oder Klappflügel aufweist.In an embodiment of the mop holder is provided that it has a handle holder and / or a joint and / or folding wings.

Der Mopphalter weist weiterhin das Merkmal auf, wonach dass Gelenk und Stielhalter in etwa in der Mitte der Wischerplatte angeordnet sind.The mop holder further has the feature that the joint and stem holder are located approximately in the center of the wiper plate.

Die Erfindung wird schließlich auch durch ein System aus mindestens einem Moppbezug wie zuvor beschrieben und mindestens einem Mopphalter wie beschrieben gelöst.Finally, the invention is also achieved by a system comprising at least one mop cover as described above and at least one mop holder as described.

Die Erfindung wird in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf eine Zeichnung beispielhaft beschrieben, wobei weitere vorteilhafte Einzelheiten den Figuren der Zeichnung zu entnehmen sind.The invention will be described by way of example in a preferred embodiment with reference to a drawing, wherein further advantageous details are shown in the figures of the drawing.

Fig. 1a zeigt in Seitenansicht und Aufsicht einer ersten Form das Verbindungselement 4 als zylindrischem Körper mit einem pilzförmigen freien Ende 9. Die Unterseite der Schirmkappe dient als Kontaktfläche 11 zu einem nicht dargestellten Mopphalter, der die Schirmkappe kontaktierend untergreift. Wenigstens Teile der Mantelfläche des zylindrischen Abschnitt des Verbindungselementes 4 dienen ebenfalls als Kontaktfläche 11, insbesondere sind sie zum Umgriff durch den Mopphalter vorgesehen. Gestrichelt dargestellt ist eine Ausführungsform des Verbindungselementes 4, bei dem der Stiel nicht zylindrisch sondern mit einem sechseckigen Querschnitt ausgebildet ist, so dass eine zugehörige Ausnehmung in einem Mopphalter korrespondierend geformt ist, nach Art eines Maulschlüssels. Die Höhe des zylindrischen Abschnittes beträgt beispielsweise 10mm, kann erfindungsgemäß jedoch ohne weiteres zwischen 3 mm und 20 mm liegen, auch 30 mm sind erfindungsgemäß. Diese Höhe korrespondiert zu einer Dicke einer Halteplatte eines Mopphalters, bzw. zu deren korrespondierend geformten zweiten Verbindungsmitteln. Ein Befestigungsabschnitt 10 erstreckt sich radial auswärts im unteren Bereich, oder Fußende, des Verbindungselementes 4. Gestrichelt angedeutet ist eine Ausgestaltung, bei der der Befestigungsabschnitt 10 zweigeteilt ausgebildet ist, sich also radial rechts und links vom zylindrischen Abschnitt wegerstreckt. Zwischen den beiden Teilen des Befestigungsabschnittes 10 kann auch ein anderer Winkel als 180° vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise 120° oder 90°, es können auch mehr als zwei Teile vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise drei, vier oder mehr. Fig. 1a shows in side view and plan view of a first form the connecting element 4 as a cylindrical body with a mushroom-shaped free end 9. The underside of the canopy serves as a contact surface 11 to a mop holder, not shown, which engages under the canopy contacting.

Dieser ist hier am freien Ende 9 als einseiter runder oder eckiger Steg angeformt, wobei auch hier die an der Unterseite des Steges befindliche Kontaktfläche 11 kontaktiert wird. Die Mantelfläche dient ebenfalls in Teilen als Kontaktfläche 11. Der Befestigungsabschnitt 10 kann sich sowohl in nur eine Richtung erstrecken, als auch in mehrere Richtungen, insbesondere mit mehreren Schenklen mit einem Winkel von 180°, oder T-förmig oder kreuzförmig. Letztere Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 1b gestrichelt dargestellt und mit verkürzter Länge. Die jeweilien Schenkel des Befestigungsabschnittes 10 sind erfindungsgemäß gleichlang oder unterschiedlich lang ausgebildet. Fig. 1b shows a side view and a plan view of a variant of a connecting element 4 with undergrip. This is here formed at the free end 9 as a one-sided round or square web, wherein also here located on the underside of the web contact surface 11 is contacted. The lateral surface is also used in parts as a contact surface 11. Der Fastening portion 10 may extend in one direction only, as well as in several directions, in particular with multiple cycles at an angle of 180 °, or T-shaped or cross-shaped. The latter embodiment is in Fig. 1b shown in dashed lines and with shortened length. The respective legs of the attachment portion 10 are inventively the same length or different lengths.

Fig. 1c zeigt in Seitenansicht und Aufsicht eine gepaarte Variante von Verbindungselementen 4. Diese wird insbesondere an den nach rechts und links weisenden Enden des Befestigungsabschnittes 10 mit einem darunter befindlichen Moppbezug 1 mit Nähten 12 vernäht. Die Nähte 12 können dabei erfindungsgemäß das gesamte Mopptuch 1 durchdringen, wie dargestellt, oder in diesem enden. Die Verbindungselemente 4 der zuvor beschriebenen Figuren sind in gleicher Weise an einem Moppbezug befestigt. Fig. 1c shows in side view and top view a paired variant of connecting elements 4. This is sewn in particular at the pointing to the right and left ends of the attachment portion 10 with a mop cover 1 located thereunder 1 with sutures 12. The seams 12 can according to the invention penetrate the entire mop cloth 1, as shown, or end in this. The connecting elements 4 of the figures described above are fastened in the same way to a mop cover.

Fig. 1d zeigt die Variante aus Fig. 1a eines Verbindungselementes 4 zusätzlich mit einem Eingriff 8. Dieser ist vorzugsweise im unteren Bereich angeordnet, kann sich jedoch auch über die gesamte Länge des zylindrischen Teiles erstrecken. Fig. 1d shows the variant Fig. 1a This is preferably arranged in the lower region, but may also extend over the entire length of the cylindrical part.

Fig. 1e zeigt die Variante aus Fig. 1b, bei der der Befestigungsabschnitt 10 nach Art eines Niet ausgebildet ist, der den Moppbezug 1 durchsetzt. Fig. 1e shows the variant Fig. 1b in which the attachment portion 10 is formed in the manner of a rivet, which passes through the mop cover 1.

Fig. 1f zeigt die Variante aus Fig. 1c eines Verbindungselementes 4 mit einem Eingriff 8. Gestrichelt angedeutet ist die Variante mit kombiniertem Eingriff 8 und Untergriff 7. Ein entsprechend geformter Teil eines Mopphalters durchsetzt in Benutzungslage die Öffnung des Eingriffes 8, gleichzeitig wird befindet sich ein anderer Teil des Mopphalters unterhalb des Untergriffes 7, der diesen übergreift. Fig. 1f shows the variant Fig. 1c A correspondingly shaped part of a mop holder interspersed in the use position, the opening of the engagement 8, at the same time is another part of the mop holder below the lower handle 7, this overlaps.

Fig. 1g zeigt eine Variante eines Verbindungselementes 4 in Front- und Seitenansicht, welches als um 90° gewinkelter Finger ausgebildet ist. Das freie Ende 9 ist hier also gleichsam umgebogen und verläuft in etwa parallel zu einer Hauptfläche des Moppbezuges. Diese Ausgestaltung wirkt entweder als Übergriff für eine Wischerplatte eines Mopphalters, übergreift diese also, oder wirkt als ein Eingriff, der in eine Öffnung eines Mopphalters eingreift, insbesonder in eine Öffnung, die in der Schmalseite der Wischerplatte angeordnet ist. Fig. 1g shows a variant of a connecting element 4 in front and side view, which is designed as angled by 90 ° finger. The free end 9 is thus bent as it were and runs approximately parallel to a main surface of the mop cover. This embodiment either acts as an overlap for a wiper plate of a mop holder, thus engages over it, or acts as an engagement, which engages in an opening of a mop holder, in particular in an opening which is arranged in the narrow side of the wiper plate.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten Varianten von Befestigungsabschnitten 10 und Umgriffen, Eingriffen oder Untergriffen sind erfindungsgemäß alle miteinander kombinierbar, so dass beispielsweise der Befestigungsabschnitt 10 aus Fig. 1e mit dem Untergriff 7 aus Fig. 1a kombiniert ist.In the Fig. 1 illustrated variants of mounting portions 10 and enclosures, interventions or underrides according to the invention can be combined with each other, so that, for example, the attachment portion 10 of Fig. 1e with the lower handle 7 Fig. 1a combined.

Fig. 2 zeigt schematisch mehrere erfindungsgemäße Positionen von Verbindungselementen 4 auf einem schematischen Mopptuch 1. Diese sind beispielsweise eckständig, randständig, schmalseitenmittig, einzeln oder gepaart angeordnet. Erfindungsgemäß sind mindestens zwei Verbindungselemente 4 erforderlich, die ein leicht spannendes Halten des Moppbezuges 1 durch einen Mopphalter ermöglichen. Die Spannung sollte dabei möglichst über die gesamte Länge des in der Regel rechteckigen Mopptuches erfolgen, die Verbindungselemente 4 also möglichst weit voneinander entfernt angeordnet sein. Das Umklappen der Ecken wird erfindungsgemäß vermieden, indem entweder die Verbindungseelemente 4 möglichst eckständig angeordnet werden oder indem sich deren Befestigungsabschnitte möglichst eckständig bzw. ranständig erstrecken. Einzelne dieser Ausgestaltungen sind in den Varianten der Fig. 2 dargestellt, diese sind erfindungsgemäß sämtlich miteinander kombinierbar. Bevorzugt wird jedoch eine möglichst symmetrische Ausgestaltung mit gleichartig geformten Verbindungselementen. Nähte 12 sind teilweise angedeutet. Fig. 2 schematically shows several inventive positions of connecting elements 4 on a schematic mop cloth 1. These are, for example, eckständig, marginal, narrow side centered, arranged singly or paired. According to the invention, at least two connecting elements 4 are required, which allow a slightly exciting holding of the mop cover 1 by a mop holder. The tension should be made as possible over the entire length of the usually rectangular mop cloth, the connecting elements 4 so be as far apart as possible. The folding over of the corners is inventively avoided by either the Verbindungsseelemente 4 are arranged as possible eckständig or by their attachment sections extend as possible eckständig or ranständig. Some of these embodiments are in the variants of Fig. 2 represented, these are all inventively combinable with each other. However, one is preferred as possible symmetrical design with similarly shaped connecting elements. Seams 12 are partially indicated.

Fig. 3 zeigt skizzenhaft mehrere erfindungsgemäße Mopphalter 13 mit Wischerplatte 14, auf der oder in der oder an der zweite Verbindungselemente 15 angeordnet oder angeformt sind. Fig. 3 shows a sketch of several inventive mop holder 13 with wiper plate 14, are arranged or formed on or in or on the second connecting elements 15.

Fig. 3a zeigt zweite Verbindungselemente 15, die als einfache, stirnseitig angeordnete und stirnseitig geöffnete Schlitze in der Wischerplatte 14 ausgebildet sind. Punktiert gezeichnet sind die Schirmkappen der Untergriffe 7 der Verbindungseinrichtungen 4 des Moppbezuges 1, wie sie in Benutzungslage von den Verbindungselementen 15 untergriffen sind. Gestrichtelt dargestellt ist die Variante aus Fig. 1g, bei der das umgebogene freie Ende 9 parallel zur Hauptfläche eines Mopptuches verläuft und auf der Wischerplatte zu liegen kommt, bzw. von dieser untergriffen wird. Diese Ausgestaltung ist auch dazu geeignet, die Verbindungselemente 4 aus Fig. 1g zu kontaktieren, also in den Eingriff 8 mit dem Eingriffsteil 16 einzugreifen, bzw. dieses zu durchsetzen. Gleichzeitig umgreifen die beiden äußeren Stege 17 die Verbindungselemente 4 und kontaktieren die Kontaktfläche 11 des Untergriffes 7. Fig. 3a shows second connecting elements 15, which are formed as a simple, frontally arranged and frontally open slots in the wiper plate 14. Drawn dotted are the shield caps of the lower handles 7 of the connecting means 4 of the mop cover 1, as they are under attack in the use position of the connecting elements 15. Shaped shown is the variant off Fig. 1g in which the bent free end 9 runs parallel to the main surface of a mop cloth and comes to lie on the wiper plate, or is engaged by this. This embodiment is also suitable for the connection elements 4 Fig. 1g to contact, so to engage in the engagement 8 with the engaging member 16, or to enforce this. At the same time, the two outer webs 17 surround the connecting elements 4 and contact the contact surface 11 of the lower handle 7.

Fig. 3b zeigt eine Ausgestaltung, bei der ein Eingriffsteil 16 vorgesehen ist, das entlang der Längsachse der Wischerplatte 14 gesehen unterschiedliche Breiten aufweist. Diese Wischerplatte 14 ist daher dazu geeignet, mit dem Eingriff 8 zu wechselwirken, indem die Schmalseite der Wischerplatte 14 den Eingriff 8 durchsetzt und gleichzeitig auch dazu, zwei gestrichelt gezeichnete Untergriffe 7 zu untergreifen. So ist eine doppelte Kontaktierung der Verbindungselemente 4 ermöglicht. Fig. 3b shows an embodiment in which an engagement member 16 is provided, which has seen along the longitudinal axis of the wiper plate 14 different widths. This wiper plate 14 is therefore adapted to interact with the engagement 8 by the narrow side of the wiper plate 14 passes through the engagement 8 and at the same time to engage under two dashed subseats 7. Thus, a double contacting of the connecting elements 4 is possible.

Fig. 3c zeigt eine Ansicht einer Stirnseite eines erfindungsgemäßen Mopphalters 13, insbesondere von dessen Wischerplatte 14. Zu erkennen sind die Höhe H der Wischerplatte 14 von hier 10 mm sowie zwei zweite Verbindungselemente 15. Die linke ist als Ausnehmung 17 mit gerundetem Grund ausgebildet, in welches im Benutzungsfall der zylindrische Abschnitt des Verbindungselements 4 des Moppbezuges angeordnet ist, wobei die pilzförmige Kappe des freien Endes 9, bzw. ein in Richtung auf die Wischerplatte 14 weisendes, umgebogenes Ende 9 die Wischerplatte 14 übergreift. Rechts ist ein Verbindungselement 15 dargestellt, welches als Öffnung 19 ausgebildet ist, in welches ein Ende 9 eines Verbindungselementes 4 in Benutzungslage eingreifend ist. Die Verbindungselemente 4 sind punktiert dargestellt. Zu erkennen ist ebenfalls ein Gelenk und das Ende eines Stiels des Mopphalters. Fig. 3c shows a view of a front side of a mop holder 13 according to the invention, in particular of its wiper plate 14. To recognize the height H of the wiper plate 14 from here 10 mm and two second connecting elements 15. The left is formed as a recess 17 with a rounded base, in which in use case, the cylindrical portion of the connecting element 4 of the mop cover is arranged, the mushroom-shaped cap of the free end 9, or in the direction of the wiper plate 14 facing, bent end 9, the wiper plate 14 engages over. On the right, a connecting element 15 is shown, which is designed as an opening 19, in which an end 9 of a connecting element 4 is engaged in the use position. The connecting elements 4 are shown dotted. Also visible is a joint and the end of a handle of the mop holder.

Erfindungsgemäß sind alle zweiten Verbindungselemente 15 einer Wischerplatte 14 gleich ausgebildet, jedoch sind auch unterschiedliche zweite Verbindungselemente 15 pro Wischerplatte 14 erfindungsgemäß.According to the invention, all second connecting elements 15 of a wiper plate 14 are identical, but also different second connecting elements 15 per wiper plate 14 according to the invention.

Fig. 4 zeigt in drei Teilbildern eine Seitenansicht, eine Aufsicht und eine perspektivische Ansicht eines bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines Verbindungselements 4 eines schematisch angedeuteten erfindungsgemäßem Moppbezug 1 sowie skizziert die Lage eines erfindungsgemäßer Wischerplatte 14 eines Mopphalters 13 in einer Betriebsposition. Fig. 4 shows in three partial images a side view, a plan view and a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a connecting element 4 of a schematically indicated inventive mop cover 1 and outlines the position of an inventive wiper plate 14 of a mop holder 13 in an operating position.

Fig. 4a zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Bandes 22 als bandförmig steifem Verbindungselement 4,angeordnet auf der Halteseite 3 eines Moppbezuges 1 auf dessen Hauptebene 5. Zu erkennen sind die beiden endständigen Befestigungsabschnitte 10, die mit einer Naht 12 auf dem Moppbezug 1 aufgenäht sind. Von diesen aus erstreckt sich jeweils ein Abstandsabschnitt 23, der im Sinne der Erfindung orthogonal zu der Hauptfläche 5 verlaufend ist, insbesondere in einem Winkel von 45°, wobei Winkel von 30° bis 90° erfindungsgemäß sind, bevorzugt sind Winkel zwischen 45° und etwa 65°, insbesondere 60°. Diese Abstandsabschnitte 23 sind gleichzeitig Materialstärkenübergänge von einer höheren Materialstärke des Bandes 22 im Bereich der Befestigungsabschnitte 10 zu einer geringeren Materialstärke im Bereich des zwischen den Abstandsabschnitten 23 angeordneten Untergriffs 7. Der Untergriff 7 weist die geringste Materialstärke innerhalb des Verbindungselements 4 auf, so dass die materialstärkeren Enden des Bandes 22 dieses versteifen und den leichteren Untergriff 7 sicher beabstandet zur Halteseite haltend sind. Der Untergriff 7 ist damit besonders steif parallel zur Hauptfläche 5 verlaufend gehalten, ohne das er das Gewicht des Moppbezuges unnötig erhöhen würde. Der Abstand zwischen Halteseite und Unterseite des Untergriffs 7 beträgt zwischen 4 mm und 12 mm, bevorzugt zwischen 6 mm und 8 mm und erlaubt so eine für eine ausreichende Stabilität erforderliche Materialdicke der Wischerplatte, die den Untergriff 7 im Benutzungsfall untergreifend ist. Fig. 4a shows a side view of a belt according to the invention 22 as a band-shaped rigid connecting element 4, arranged on the holding side 3 of a mop cover 1 on the main plane 5. It can be seen the two terminal mounting portions 10, which are sewn with a seam 12 on the mop cover 1. Each of these extends from a spacing section 23, which is orthogonal to the main surface 5 extending in the sense of the invention, in particular at an angle of 45 °, wherein angles of 30 ° to 90 ° are according to the invention, are preferred Angle between 45 ° and about 65 °, in particular 60 °. These spacer sections 23 are at the same time material thickness transitions from a higher material thickness of the band 22 in the region of the fastening sections 10 to a lower material thickness in the region of the lower section 7 arranged between the spacer sections 23. The lower grip 7 has the lowest material thickness within the connecting element 4, so that the thicker material Ends of the belt 22 stiffen this and the lighter undergrip 7 safely spaced to the holding side are holding. The lower handle 7 is thus kept running particularly stiff parallel to the main surface 5, without which he would unnecessarily increase the weight of the mop cover. The distance between the holding side and underside of the lower handle 7 is between 4 mm and 12 mm, preferably between 6 mm and 8 mm, thus allowing a material thickness of the wiper plate required for sufficient stability, which undercut the undergrip 7 in use.

Fig. 4b zeigt eine Aufsicht auf dieses erfindungsgemäß bevorzugte, bandförmige Verbindungselement 4. Gut zu erkennen sind die Abschnitte 10, 23 und 7 und vor allem die Reduktion in der Breite des Bandes im Bereich des Untergriffes 7. Gut zu erkennen ist auch, dass dieses Verbindungselement 4 nur in seinen beiden Endbereichen, gebildet durch die Befestigungsabschnitte 10, an einem Moppbezug mittels einer Naht 12 aufgenäht ist und zwar so deutlich beabstandet zu diesen, dass auch ein Umgreifen durch die Wischerplatte 14 möglich ist. Dies ermöglicht ein Untergreifen durch eine hier mit einer strichpunktierten Linie angedeuteten Wischerplatte 14. Diese Wischerplatte 14 wird demnach von dem Verbindungselement 4 nur über einen sehr geringen Teilbereich ihrer axialen Länge 24 überdeckt, der deutlich geringer ausfällt, als bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Taschen, die das Ende der Wischerplatte vollständig überdecken, so dass dieses zwar die Taschen untergreift, diese aber nicht im Sinne der Erfindung durchgreift. Die Breitenreduktion macht dieses Verbindungselement 4 zum einen leichter und damit auch den damit versehenen Moppbezug 1 und dies, ohne Einbußen in der Stabilität hinnehmen zu müssen. Die Rundungen bei den Übergängen sowohl in der Breite als auch von den einzelnen Abschnitten des Verbindungselements 4 zu den anderen führen zu einem geringen Verletzungsrisiko, geringer bis keiner Beschädigung bei Reinigungsvorgängen des Moppbezuges, da scharfe, schneid- und/oder reißfähige Kanten vermieden sind. Fig. 4b Good to see are the sections 10, 23 and 7 and especially the reduction in the width of the band in the region of the lower handle 7. Good to see is that this connecting element 4 only in its two end regions, formed by the fastening portions 10, is sewn to a mop cover by means of a seam 12 and indeed so clearly spaced therefrom that a gripping by the wiper plate 14 is possible. This makes it possible to reach underneath by means of a wiper plate 14 indicated here by a dot-dash line. This wiper plate 14 is therefore covered by the connecting element 4 only over a very small portion of its axial length 24, which is significantly lower than in the case of those known from the prior art Bags that completely cover the end of the wiper plate, so that this indeed engages under the pockets, but this does not reach through the purposes of the invention. The Width reduction makes this connecting element 4 easier, and thus also the mop cover 1 provided with it, and this, without having to accept losses in stability. The curves in the transitions both in width and from the individual sections of the connecting element 4 to the other lead to a low risk of injury, little to no damage in cleaning operations of Moppbezuges, as sharp, cut and / or tear edges are avoided.

Fig. 4c zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht dieser bevorzugten, bandförmigen Ausführungsform eines Verbindungselements 4, angeordnet auf einem skizzierten Moppbezug 1. Zu erkennen ist, dass das Band 22 von dessen Schmalseite 18 zurückgesetzt ist und auch von dessen beiden Längsseiten 25, um sowohl ein Durchgreifen, bzw. Durchsetzen und ein Untergreifen sowie ein Umgreifen durch die erfindungsgemäße Wischerplatte 14 zu ermöglichen. Diese ist strichpunktiert dargestellt, ist ist mit ihrem sich verjüngenden Abschnitt 20 das Verbindungselement 4 untergreifend und durchgreifend, wobei durchgreifend und durchsetzend synonym zu verstehen sind. Die erfindungsgemäße Wischerplatte 14 weist hier jeweils benachbart zum Abschnitt 20 einen Steg 21 auf, der zusammen mit dem Abschnitt 20 dazu führt, dass das Verbindungselement 4 zusätzlich zur Untergreifung und Durchsetzung auch umgreifend gehalten ist. Die beiden Stege 21 und der zwischen ihnen angeordnete Abschnitt 20 ergeben zwei schlitzartige Ausnehmungen 17 in der Wischerplatte 14, die ebenfalls als zweite Verbindungselemente 15 im Sinne der Erfindung anzusehen sind. Diese werden bei dieser Ausführungsform also durch die Ausgestaltung der axialen Enden der Wischerplatte 14 gebildet, nämlich durch den sich dort jeweils in der Breite verjüngenden, insbesondere konisch verjüngenden, Abschnitt 20, sowie die beiden Stege 21, die die beiden Ausnehmungen 17 definieren. Fig. 4c shows a perspective view of this preferred, band-shaped embodiment of a connecting element 4, arranged on a sketched mop cover 1. It can be seen that the band 22 is set back from the narrow side 18 and also from the two longitudinal sides 25 in order to both a through and a gripping and embracing by the wiper plate 14 according to the invention to allow. This is shown by dash-dotted lines, is with its tapered portion 20, the connecting element 4 intervening and radical, which are to be understood interpenetrating and interspersive synonymous. The wiper plate 14 according to the invention has in each case adjacent to the section 20 on a web 21, which leads together with the portion 20 to the fact that the connecting element 4 is held in addition to the underreaching and enforcement encompassing. The two webs 21 and arranged between them portion 20 result in two slot-like recesses 17 in the wiper plate 14, which are also to be regarded as second connecting elements 15 in the context of the invention. These are thus formed in this embodiment by the configuration of the axial ends of the wiper plate 14, namely by the there in each case in the width tapered, in particular conically tapered, section 20, and the two webs 21 which define the two recesses 17.

Mit großem Vorteil schlägt die Erfindung so ein System aus zwei, aufeinander bezogenen und aneinander angepaßten Bestandteilen vor, die zusammen ein aufeinander gut abgestimmtes System aus Moppbezug und Mopphalter ergeben, welches die gewerbliche Reinigung erleichtert und verbessert.With great advantage, the invention proposes such a system of two, related to each other and matched components, which together give a well coordinated system of mop cover and mop holder, which facilitates and improves the commercial cleaning.
