Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungstextil, umfassend eine Reinigungsseite mit einer Reinigungsfläche, die außenumfangsseitig von einem Rand begrenzt ist.The invention relates to a cleaning textile comprising a cleaning side with a cleaning surface which is delimited on the outer circumference by an edge.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Ein solches Reinigungstextil ist aus der US 2,366,877 A bekannt. Das vorbekannte Reinigungstextil weist, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig eine größere Flordichte als randseitig auf.Such a cleaning textile is from U.S. 2,366,877 A known. The known cleaning textile, viewed transversely to the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, has a greater pile density in the center than on the edge.

Weitere Reinigungstextilien sind allgemein bekannt, zum Beispiel aus der WO 2005/110182 A1 , der GB 2 004 735 A oder der US 2010/263152 A1 . Sie können zum Beispiel als Reinigungsbezüge für Flachwischer oder als Moppköpfe ausgebildet sein..Other cleaning textiles are generally known, for example from WO 2005/110182 A1 , the GB 2 004 735 A or the US 2010/263152 A1 . For example, they can be designed as cleaning covers for flat mops or as mop heads.

Die Reinigungsflächen der vorbekannten Reinigungstextilien weisen zumeist insgesamt, also auch quer zur Wischrichtung der Reinigungstextilien betrachtet, eine gleichmäßige Flordichte auf.The cleaning surfaces of the previously known cleaning textiles mostly have a uniform pile density overall, that is to say also viewed transversely to the wiping direction of the cleaning textiles.

Durch Reinigungstextilien, die eine Reinigungsfläche mit einer insgesamt gleichmäßigen Flordichte aufweisen, lässt sich nur dann ein gleichmäßiges Wischergebnis auf der zu reinigenden Fläche erzielen, wenn die Anpresskraft, mit dem die Reinigungsfläche des Reinigungstextils auf die zu reinigende Fläche gedrückt wird, gleichmäßig auf die Reinigungsfläche des Reinigungstextils verteilt ist.With cleaning textiles that have a cleaning surface with an overall uniform pile density, a uniform wiping result can only be achieved on the surface to be cleaned if the contact force with which the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile is pressed onto the surface to be cleaned is evenly applied to the cleaning surface of the Cleaning textile is distributed.

In den meisten Fällen ist das nicht der Fall.In most cases this is not the case.

Sobald die Anpresskraft auf die Reinigungsfläche des Reinigungstextils ungleichmäßig über die Reinigungsfläche verteilt ist, die Flordichte der Reinigungsfläche jedoch in allen Teilbereichen gleich ist, erfolgt eine relativ stärkere Reinigung durch die Teilbereiche der Reinigungsfläche, auf die die Anpresskraft relativ hoch ist und eine relativ schwächere Reinigung durch die Teilbereiche der Reinigungsfläche, auf die die Anpresskraft relativ gering ist.As soon as the contact pressure on the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile is unevenly distributed over the cleaning surface, but the pile density of the cleaning surface is the same in all sub-areas, a relatively stronger cleaning takes place through the sub-areas of the cleaning surface on which the contact force is relatively high and a relatively weaker cleaning the sub-areas of the cleaning surface on which the contact pressure is relatively low.

Außerdem ist von Nachteil, dass die Reinigungsfläche eines solchen Reinigungstextils durch die unterschiedlich starke Aufnahme von Verunreinigungen selbst ungleichmäßig verunreinigt und einem ungleichmäßigen Verschleiß ausgesetzt ist.In addition, it is disadvantageous that the cleaning surface of such a cleaning textile itself is unevenly soiled and exposed to uneven wear due to the different levels of absorption of soiling.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Reinigungstextil der vorbekannten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass bei einer verstärkten mittigen Anpressung der Reinigungsfläche auf eine zu reinigende Fläche in Wischrichtung ein gleichmäßiges Reinigungsergebnis erzielt wird. Die Schmutzaufnahme soll auch unter diesen Bedingungen, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, gleichmäßig sein, ebenso wie die mechanische Belastung, die durch das Wischen auf die Reinigungsfläche wirkt.The invention is based on the object of further developing a cleaning textile of the previously known type in such a way that a uniform cleaning result is achieved with increased central pressure of the cleaning surface on a surface to be cleaned in the wiping direction. The dirt pick-up should also be uniform under these conditions, viewed transversely to the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, as should the mechanical load that acts on the cleaning surface as a result of wiping.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.The subclaims refer to advantageous configurations.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Reinigungstextil vorgesehen, umfassend eine Reinigungsseite mit einer Reinigungsfläche, die außenumfangsseitig von einem Rand begrenzt ist, wobei die Reinigungsfläche, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig eine geringere Flordichte als randseitig aufweist.To achieve the object, a cleaning textile is provided, comprising a cleaning side with a cleaning surface which is delimited on the outer circumference by an edge, the cleaning surface being transverse to the wiping direction of the Considered cleaning textile, has a lower pile density in the middle than on the edge.

Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass das Reinigungstextil, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig durch eine größere Anpresskraft an die zu reinigende Fläche angedrückt werden kann als randseitig, wobei das Reinigungstextil trotzdem, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, ein vergleichmäßigtes Reinigungsergebnis der zu reinigenden Fläche bewirkt.The advantage here is that the cleaning textile, viewed across the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, can be pressed centrally against the surface to be cleaned by a greater contact pressure than on the edge, although the cleaning textile, viewed across the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, produces a more even cleaning result for the surface to be cleaned Surface causes.

Handelt es sich bei dem Reinigungstextil zum Beispiel um einen Reinigungsbezug für einen Flachwischer, ist die Anpresskraft, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig des Flachwischers am größten. Das ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass in diesem mittigen Bereich auf der der Reinigungsseite abgewandten Seite des Reinigungstextils der Stiel des Flachwischers angeordnet ist, mit dem der Benutzer den Flachwischer über die zu reinigende Fläche führt.If the cleaning textile is, for example, a cleaning cover for a flat mop, the contact pressure, viewed transversely to the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, is greatest in the center of the flat mop. This is due to the fact that the handle of the flat mop with which the user guides the flat mop over the surface to be cleaned is arranged in this central area on the side of the cleaning textile facing away from the cleaning side.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass in axialer Verlängerung des Stiels die Anpresskraft auf die Reinigungsfläche am größten ist, im randseitigen Bereich, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, relativ geringer. Durch diese ungleichmäßige Verteilung der Anpresskraft auf die Reinigungsfläche kommt es nur dann zu einem gleichmäßigen Reinigungsergebnis, wenn die Flordichte der Reinigungsfläche nicht, wie im Stand der Technik, über die gesamte Reinigungsfläche konstant, sondern derart unterschiedlich ist, dass die Reinigungsfläche, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig eine geringere Flordichte als randseitig aufweist. Durch die unterschiedlichen Flordichten der Reinigungsfläche werden die unterschiedlichen Anpresskräfte, die auf die Reinigungsfläche wirken, im Wesentlichen ausgeglichen, so dass, trotz der unterschiedlichen Anpresskräfte auf die Reinigungsfläche, eine Vergleichmäßigung des Reinigungsergebnisses bewirkt wird. Quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils wird beim Wischen in Wischrichtung deshalb ein gleichmäßiges Reinigungsergebnis erzielt.It has been shown that the pressing force on the cleaning surface is greatest in the axial extension of the handle, and relatively lower in the edge-side area, viewed transversely to the wiping direction of the cleaning textile. Due to this uneven distribution of the contact pressure on the cleaning surface, a uniform cleaning result is only achieved if the pile density of the cleaning surface is not constant over the entire cleaning surface, as in the prior art, but is so different that the cleaning surface is transverse to the wiping direction of the Considered cleaning textile, has a lower pile density in the middle than on the edge. Due to the different pile densities of the cleaning surface, the different pressing forces that act on the cleaning surface are essentially balanced out, so that, despite the different pressing forces on the cleaning surface, the cleaning result is made more uniform. A uniform cleaning result is therefore achieved when wiping in the wiping direction at right angles to the wiping direction of the cleaning textile.

Durch die an die unterschiedlichen Anpresskräfte angepassten unterschiedlichen Flordichten ist auch die mechanische Beanspruchung auf die Reinigungsfläche vergleichmäßigt, so dass das Reinigungstextil gleichbleibend gute Gebrauchseigenschaften während einer langen Gebrauchsdauer aufweist und am Ende seiner Benutzung über die gesamte Reinigungsfläche weitgehend gleichmäßig verunreinigt und/oder verbraucht ist.Due to the different pile densities adapted to the different contact forces, the mechanical stress on the cleaning surface is evened out, so that the cleaning textile has consistently good properties over a long period of use and at the end of its use is largely evenly contaminated and / or consumed over the entire cleaning surface.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Reinigungsfläche drei Reinigungszonen aufweist, die in Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils in einer funktionstechnischen Reihenschaltung angeordnet sind, wobei die in Wischrichtung vordere erste Reinigungszone einen ersten Reinigungsflor mit einer ersten Florhöhe und einer ersten Flordichte aufweist, die mittlere zweite Reinigungszone einen zweiten Reinigungsflor mit einer zweiten Florhöhe und einer zweiten Flordichte und die hintere dritte Reinigungszone einen dritten Reinigungsflor mit einer dritten Florhöhe und einer dritten Flordichte, wobei die in Wischrichtung mittlere zweite Reinigungszone, bezogen auf die in Wischrichtung vordere erste und hintere dritte Reinigungszone, eine jeweils relativ größere zweite Florhöhe und eine jeweils geringere zweite Flordichte aufweist und wobei jede Reinigungszone, quer zur Wischrichtung betrachtet, mittig eine geringere Flordichte als randseitig aufweist.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the cleaning surface has three cleaning zones which are arranged in a functional series connection in the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, the first cleaning zone at the front in the wiping direction having a first cleaning pile with a first pile height and a first pile density, the middle one second cleaning zone a second cleaning pile with a second pile height and a second pile density and the rear third cleaning zone a third cleaning pile with a third pile height and a third pile density, the second cleaning zone in the middle in the wiping direction, based on the front first and rear third cleaning zone in the wiping direction, each has a relatively larger second pile height and a respective lower second pile density and wherein each cleaning zone, viewed transversely to the wiping direction, has a lower pile density in the middle than on the edge side.

Ein derartiges Reinigungstextil ist besonders dann vorteilhaft, wenn es als Reinigungsbezug für einen Flachwischer verwendet wird.Such a cleaning textile is particularly advantageous when it is used as a cleaning cover for a flat mop.

Zur Funktion wird folgendes ausgeführt:
Hauptsächlich durch die zweite Reinigungszone werden Verunreinigungen von der zu reinigenden Fläche gelöst und anschließend in der zweiten Reinigungszone aufgenommen. Die Aufnahme von Verunreinigungen in der zweiten Reinigungszone wird dadurch vereinfacht, dass die zweite Florhöhe größer als die erste und dritte Florhöhe ist und zusätzlich dadurch, dass die zweite Flordichte geringer als die erste und dritte Flordichte ist.The following is carried out for the function:
Mainly through the second cleaning zone, contaminants are removed from the surface to be cleaned and then taken up in the second cleaning zone. The absorption of impurities in the second cleaning zone is simplified by the fact that the second pile height is greater than the first and third pile height and additionally in that the second pile density is less than the first and third pile density.

Durch den Höhenunterschied werden die Verunreinigungen beim Wischen in Wischrichtung zum Beispiel von der vorderen ersten Reinigungszone weitgehend ungehindert überwischt, bis sie durch die zweite Reinigungszone von der zu reinigenden Fläche gelöst und in der zweiten Reinigungszone aufgenommen werden.Due to the difference in height, the dirt is wiped over largely unhindered when wiping in the wiping direction, for example from the front first cleaning zone, until it is released from the surface to be cleaned by the second cleaning zone and taken up in the second cleaning zone.

Wird in Wischrichtung weitergewischt, sorgt die hintere dritte Reinigungszone dafür, dass von der zweiten Reinigungszone liegengelassene auch sehr kleine Verunreinigungen von der zu reinigenden Fläche mitgenommen werden und dadurch ein streifenfreies Reinigungsergebnis erzielt wird.If wiping is continued in the wiping direction, the rear third cleaning zone ensures that even very small contaminants left by the second cleaning zone are carried away from the surface to be cleaned, thereby achieving a streak-free cleaning result.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung können der erste und der dritte Reinigungsflor jeweils Mikrofasern umfassen. Mikrofasern sind besonders gut geeignet, auch kleinste Verunreinigungen an sich zu binden und dadurch von der zu reinigenden Fläche streifenfrei zu entfernen.According to an advantageous embodiment, the first and the third cleaning pile can each comprise microfibers. Microfibers are particularly suitable for binding even the smallest impurities and thus removing them from the surface to be cleaned without leaving streaks.

Der zweite Reinigungsflor kann bedarfsweise Mikrofasern und Abrasivfasern umfassen. Zur Reinigung stärker verschmutzter Oberflächen kann ein solcher zweiter Reinigungsflor von Vorteil sein. Stärkere Verschmutzungen werden dadurch besser von der zu reinigenden Oberfläche gelöst und anschließend im relativ höheren Reinigungsflor und der relativ geringeren Flordichte der zweiten Reinigungszone aufgenommen.The second cleaning web can, if necessary, comprise microfibers and abrasive fibers. Such a second cleaning pad can be advantageous for cleaning heavily soiled surfaces. As a result, heavier soiling is better loosened from the surface to be cleaned and then taken up in the relatively higher cleaning pile and the relatively lower pile density of the second cleaning zone.

Jede Flordichte kann, quer zur Wischrichtung betrachtet, von der jeweiligen Mitte einer jeden Reinigungszone bis zu dem jeweiligen Rand stetig vergrößert sein. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass auch dann die Reinigungsfläche des Reinigungstextils eine quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils gleichmäßige Reinigungsleistung aufweist, wenn ein Benutzer des Reinigungstextils, quer zur Wischrichtung betrachtet, mittig der Reinigungszonen die größte Anpresskraft auf die Reinigungsfläche aufbringt. Durch die sich in Richtung der jeweiligen Ränder vergrößernde Flordichte der jeweiligen Reinigungszonen wird die in Richtung der jeweiligen Ränder stetig verringerte Anpresskraft im Wesentlichen ausgeglichen, so dass sich trotz der ungleichmäßig belasteten Reinigungsfläche ein gleichmäßiges Reinigungsergebnis einstellt.Each pile density, viewed transversely to the wiping direction, can be steadily increased from the respective center of each cleaning zone to the respective edge. The advantage here is that the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile also has a uniform cleaning performance transversely to the wiping direction of the cleaning textile when a user of the cleaning textile, viewed transversely to the wiping direction, is centered Cleaning zones apply the greatest contact pressure to the cleaning surface. Due to the increasing pile density of the respective cleaning zones in the direction of the respective edges, the steadily reduced contact pressure in the direction of the respective edges is essentially compensated, so that a uniform cleaning result is achieved despite the unevenly loaded cleaning surface.

Generell besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Flordichte, quer zur Wischrichtung betrachtet, von der jeweiligen Mitte einer jeden Reinigungszone bis zu dem jeweiligen Rand stufenförmig zu vergrößern.In general, there is also the possibility of increasing the pile density, viewed transversely to the wiping direction, in steps from the respective center of each cleaning zone to the respective edge.

Das Verhältnis der mittigen Flordichte zur randseitigen Flordichte einer jeden Reinigungszone kann ≤ 0,8 sein. Ein solches Verhältnis hat sich insbesondere dann als vorteilhaft bewährt, wenn das Reinigungstextil als Reinigungsbezug für einen Flachwischer zur Anwendung gelangt. Bei einem derartigen Verhältnis ist die randseitige Flordichte einer jeden Reinigungszone derart bemessen, dass die Reinigungsleistung der randseitigen Bereiche im Wesentlichen der Reinigungsleistung des mittigen Bereichs des Reinigungstextils entspricht, wenn der mittige Bereich durch einen Stiel eines Flachwischers verstärkt an die zu reinigende Fläche angedrückt wird.The ratio of the central pile density to the edge pile density of each cleaning zone can be ≤ 0.8. Such a ratio has proven to be particularly advantageous when the cleaning textile is used as a cleaning cover for a flat wiper. With such a ratio, the edge-side pile density of each cleaning zone is dimensioned in such a way that the cleaning performance of the edge-side areas essentially corresponds to the cleaning performance of the central area of the cleaning textile when the central area is pressed more strongly against the surface to be cleaned by a handle of a flat mop.

Die vordere erste und die hintere dritte Reinigungszone können übereinstimmend ausgebildet sein. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, dass die Reinigungsfläche symmetrisch zur zweiten Reinigungszone ausgebildet ist und deshalb in und gegen die Wischrichtung verwendet werden kann und dabei übereinstimmende Gebrauchseigenschaften aufweist. Die Handhabung des Reinigungstextils ist durch diese Symmetrie vereinfacht.The front, first and rear, third cleaning zones can be designed to be identical. The advantage here is that the cleaning surface is designed symmetrically to the second cleaning zone and can therefore be used in and against the wiping direction and has matching usage properties. The handling of the cleaning textile is simplified by this symmetry.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Verhältnis aus zweiter Florhöhe zu erster und/oder dritter Florhöhe zumindest 1,2 beträgt. Weiter bevorzugt ist das Verhältnis ≤ 1,5. Einerseits ist die zweite Florhöhe ausreichend groß, so dass Verunreinigungen die erste oder dritte Reinigungszone passieren können, um in der zweiten Reinigungszone aufgenommen zu werden. Andererseits ist die zweite Florhöhe bei derartigen Verhältnissen nicht so groß, dass sich der zweite Reinigungsflor während des Wischens unerwünscht umlegt und dadurch das Reinigungsergebnis nachteilig beeinflusst.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the ratio of the second pile height to the first and / or third pile height is at least Is 1.2. The ratio is more preferably 1.5. On the one hand, the second pile height is sufficiently large so that contaminants can pass through the first or third cleaning zone in order to be taken up in the second cleaning zone. On the other hand, under such conditions, the second pile height is not so great that the second cleaning pile folds over undesirably during wiping and thereby adversely affects the cleaning result.

Nur die Abrasivfasern in der zweiten Reinigungszone können eine, bezogen auf die erste und die dritte Florhöhe, relativ größere zweite Florhöhe aufweisen. Umfasst die zweite Reinigungszone neben den Abrasivfasern auch Mikrofasern, können die Mikrofasern in einem solchen Fall dieselbe Florhöhe aufweisen, wie die erste oder die dritte Florhöhe. Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung ergibt sich eine noch offenere Struktur der zweiten Reinigungszone. Das kann zur Aufnahme und zum Halten von Verunreinigungen in der zweiten Reinigungszone von Vorteil sein.Only the abrasive fibers in the second cleaning zone can have a second pile height that is relatively larger in relation to the first and third pile height. If the second cleaning zone also comprises microfibers in addition to the abrasive fibers, the microfibers in such a case can have the same pile height as the first or third pile height. Such a configuration results in an even more open structure of the second cleaning zone. This can be advantageous for taking up and holding contaminants in the second cleaning zone.

Alle Reinigungszonen können, in Wischrichtung betrachtet, dieselbe Breite aufweisen. Die Reinigungsfläche ist bevorzugt im Wesentlichen rechteckig ausgebildet. Die Reinigungsfläche kann zwei sich quer zur Wischrichtung erstreckende Längsseiten und zwei sich in Wischrichtung erstreckende Querseiten aufweisen, wobei die Längsseiten eine erste Erstreckung aufweisen, die größer als eine zweite Erstreckung der Querseiten ist.All cleaning zones, viewed in the wiping direction, can have the same width. The cleaning surface is preferably designed to be essentially rectangular. The cleaning surface can have two longitudinal sides extending transversely to the wiping direction and two transverse sides extending in the wiping direction, the longitudinal sides having a first extent which is greater than a second extent of the transverse sides.

Das Verhältnis aus erster Erstreckung zu zweiter Erstreckung kann ≥ 2 sein. Derartige Reinigungstextilien haben für die meisten Anwendungen gute Gebrauchseigenschaften und ihre Handhabung ist einfach.The ratio of the first extension to the second extension can be 2. Such cleaning textiles have good usage properties for most applications and they are easy to handle.

Auf der der Reinigungsseite abgewandten Oberseite des Reinigungstextils kann zumindest eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung des Reinigungstextils an einer Trägerplatte eines Flachwischers angeordnet sein. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung kann durch Taschen und/oder Laschen und/oder Clips gebildet sein.On the top of the cleaning textile facing away from the cleaning side, at least one fastening device for fastening the cleaning textile to a carrier plate of a flat mop can be arranged. The fastening device can be formed by pockets and / or tabs and / or clips.

Gelangen Laschen zur Anwendung, können die Laschen Druckknöpfe zur Befestigung an der Trägerplatte umfassen.If tabs are used, the tabs can comprise snap fasteners for attachment to the carrier plate.

Befestigungsvorrichtungen zur Befestigung eines Reinigungstextils an Trägerplatten von Flachwischern sind allgemein bekannt. Die Befestigung des Reinigungstextils kann derart erfolgen, dass das Reinigungstextil an nur einer Seite der Trägerplatte beim Auswaschen und Auswringen befestigt bleibt oder an beiden Seiten der Trägerplatte befestigt bleibt und dann, wenn es sich bei dem Flachwischer zum Beispiel um einen Flügelmopp handelt, U-förmig von den zusammengeklappten Flügeln der Trägerplatte nach unten herab hängt, um in einem Eimer ausgewaschen und anschließend in einer Auswringvorrichtung ausgewrungen zu werden.Fastening devices for fastening a cleaning textile to carrier plates of flat wipers are generally known. The cleaning textile can be attached in such a way that the cleaning textile remains attached to only one side of the carrier plate during washing and wringing out or remains attached to both sides of the carrier plate and then, if the flat mop is, for example, a wing mop, U-shaped hangs down from the folded wings of the carrier plate to be washed out in a bucket and then wrung out in a wringer.

Druckknöpfe zur Festlegung an der Trägerplatte haben sich bewährt. Durch die Druckknöpfe wird eine zerstörungsfrei lösbare und dauerhaltbare Verbindung von Reinigungstextil und Trägerplatte erreicht.Snap fasteners for fixing on the carrier plate have proven themselves. The press studs create a permanent, non-destructive connection between the cleaning textile and the carrier plate.

Wie zuvor ausgeführt, ist die Verwendung des Reinigungstextils als Reinigungsbezug für einen Flachwischer besonders vorteilhaft. Insbesondere bei einer derartigen Verwendung wird die Reinigungsfläche des Reinigungstextils, quer zur Wischrichtung des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, üblicherweise ungleichmäßig stark belastet, so dass diese ungleichmäßige Belastung durch die quer zur Wischrichtung betrachtet geringere Flordichte in der Mitte des Reinigungstextils ausgeglichen wird, um zu einem gelichmäßigen Reinigungsergebnis zu gelangen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Reinigungstextils ist die Schmutzaufnahme der Reinigungsfläche weitgehend konstant, ebenso wie die mechanische Belastung auf die Reinigungsfläche beim Wischen, so dass die gesamte Reinigungsfläche, trotz der ungleichmäßigen Belastung durch die Anpresskraft, eine gleichmäßig gute und streifenfreie Reinigungsleistung aufweist.As stated above, the use of the cleaning textile as a cleaning cover for a flat mop is particularly advantageous. In particular with such a use, the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile, viewed across the wiping direction of the cleaning textile, is usually unevenly heavily loaded, so that this uneven load is compensated for by the lower pile density in the middle of the cleaning textile, viewed across the wiping direction, in order to achieve a uniform cleaning result reach. Due to the design of the cleaning textile according to the invention, the dirt absorption of the cleaning surface is largely constant, as is the mechanical load on the Cleaning surface when wiping, so that the entire cleaning surface has a consistently good and streak-free cleaning performance despite the uneven load from the contact pressure.

Ausführung der ErfindungImplementation of the invention

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Reinigungstextils gezeigt, das als Reinigungsbezug 29 für einen hier nicht dargestellten Flachwischer zu Anwendung gelangt.In the Figures 1 and 2 an embodiment of a cleaning textile is shown, which is used as a cleaning cover 29 for a flat mop, not shown here.

Das Reinigungstextil umfasst die Reinigungsseite 1 mit der rechteckig ausgebildeten Reinigungsfläche 2, die außenumfangsseitig von dem Rand 3 begrenzt ist.The cleaning textile comprises the cleaning side 1 with the rectangular cleaning surface 2, which is delimited on the outer circumference by the edge 3.

Die Reinigungsfläche 2 hat drei Reinigungszonen 4, 5, 6, die in Wischrichtung 7 des Reinigungstextils hintereinander liegend angeordnet sind.The cleaning surface 2 has three cleaning zones 4, 5, 6 which are arranged one behind the other in the wiping direction 7 of the cleaning textile.

Jede der Reinigungszonen 4, 5, 6 hat einen Reinigungsflor 8, 11, 14 mit jeweils einer Florhöhe 9, 12, 15 und jeweils einer Flordichte 10, 13, 16.Each of the cleaning zones 4, 5, 6 has a cleaning pile 8, 11, 14 each with a pile height 9, 12, 15 and each with a pile density 10, 13, 16.

Im hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die erste 4 und dritte Reinigungszone 6 übereinstimmend ausgebildet und im Wesentlichen symmetrisch zur zweiten Reinigungszone 5 angeordnet. Die übereinstimmende Ausbildung bezieht sich sowohl auf die Gestalt als auch auf das Material.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the first 4 and third cleaning zones 6 are designed to match and are arranged essentially symmetrically to the second cleaning zone 5. The matching training relates to both the shape and the material.

Der erste 8 und der dritte Reinigungsflor 14 umfassen jeweils Mikrofasern. Der zweite Reinigungsflor 11 umfasst demgegenüber eine Mischung aus Mikrofasern und Abrasivfasern.The first 8 and the third cleaning pile 14 each comprise microfibers. In contrast, the second cleaning web 11 comprises a mixture of microfibers and abrasive fibers.

Die Reinigungsfläche 2 weist, quer zur Wischrichtung 7 des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig eine geringere Flordichte 10, 13, 16 als randseitig auf. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die Reinigungsleistung des Reinigungstextils, quer zur Wischrichtung 7 des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, in jedem Teilbereich der Reinigungsfläche 2 übereinstimmend gut ist, wenn die Anpresskraft, quer zur Wischrichtung 7 des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig größer als randseitig ist. Das ist dadurch der Fall, dass quer zur Wischrichtung 7 des Reinigungstextils betrachtet, mittig einer nicht dargestellten Trägerplatte, an der der Reinigungsbezug für den Flachwischer befestigt ist, ein Stiel angeordnet ist, der vom Benutzer axial in Richtung der zu reinigenden Fläche gedrückt wird. Dadurch ist der mittige Bereich der Reinigungsfläche mit einer größeren Anpresskraft beaufschlagt als die randseitigen Bereiche. Zum Ausgleich dieses üblicherweise unerwünschten Effekts, insbesondere um das Reinigungsergebnis zu vergleichmäßigen, ebenso wie den Verbrauch des Reinigungstextils, ist mittig die geringere Flordichte 10, 13, 16 vorgesehen.The cleaning surface 2, viewed transversely to the wiping direction 7 of the cleaning textile, has a lower pile density 10, 13, 16 in the middle than on the edge. This ensures that the cleaning performance of the cleaning textile, viewed transversely to the wiping direction 7 of the cleaning textile, is consistently good in every sub-area of the cleaning surface 2 if the contact pressure, viewed transversely to the wiping direction 7 of the cleaning textile, is greater in the center than at the edge. This is the case that, viewed transversely to the wiping direction 7 of the cleaning textile, a handle is arranged in the middle of a carrier plate (not shown) to which the cleaning cover for the flat mop is attached, which is pushed axially by the user in the direction of the surface to be cleaned. As a result, the central area of the cleaning surface is subjected to a greater contact pressure than the areas on the edge. The lower pile density 10, 13, 16 is provided in the center to compensate for this usually undesirable effect, in particular to make the cleaning result more even, as well as the consumption of the cleaning textile.

Für ein weiter verbessertes Reinigungsergebnis weisen die unterschiedlichen Reinigungszonen 4, 5, 6 zusätzlich voneinander abweichende Florhöhen auf. Die mittlere zweite Reinigungszone 5 hat eine größere zweite Florhöhe 12 als die in Wischrichtung 7 beiderseits daran angrenzenden Reinigungszonen 4, 6 und außerdem auch eine geringere zweite Flordichte 13. Die größere zweite Florhöhe 12 sorgt zusammen mit der vergleichsweise offenen Struktur der zweiten Reinigungszone 5 dafür, dass Verunreinigungen von der zu reinigenden Fläche zunächst die erste 4 und die dritte Reinigungszone 6 passieren, in die zweite, mittlere Reinigungszone gelangen und dort gehalten werden. Je nach Wischrichtung 7 ist die dritte 6 oder die erste Reinigungszone 4 der zweiten Reinigungszone 5 funktionstechnisch nachgeschaltete und sorgt letztlich für eine streifenfrei gereinigte Fläche.For a further improved cleaning result, the different cleaning zones 4, 5, 6 additionally have pile heights that differ from one another. The middle second cleaning zone 5 has a greater second pile height 12 than the cleaning zones 4, 6 adjoining it on both sides in the wiping direction 7 and also a lower second pile density 13. The larger second pile height 12, together with the comparatively open structure of the second cleaning zone 5, ensures that impurities from the surface to be cleaned first pass through the first 4 and third cleaning zone 6, into the second, middle one Reach cleaning zone and be held there. Depending on the wiping direction 7, the third 6 or the first cleaning zone 4 is functionally connected downstream of the second cleaning zone 5 and ultimately ensures a streak-free cleaned surface.

Im hier dargestellten Beispiel ist das Verhältnis aus zweiter Florhöhe 12 zu erster 9 und/oder dritter Florhöhe 15 1,3.In the example shown here, the ratio of the second pile height 12 to the first 9 and / or third pile height 15 is 1.3.

In Figur 1 ist eine Ansicht des Reinigungstextils von unten auf die Reinigungsseite 1 mit der Reinigungsfläche 2 gezeigt. Die Reinigungsfläche 2 ist rechteckig ausgebildet und durch den umfangsseitigen Rand 3 begrenzt.In Figure 1 a view of the cleaning textile from below onto the cleaning side 1 with the cleaning surface 2 is shown. The cleaning surface 2 is rectangular and delimited by the peripheral edge 3.

An den Querseiten 22, 23, durch die die Längsseiten 20, 21 quer zur Wischrichtung 7 begrenzt sind, schließen sich, quer zur Wischrichtung 7, die Befestigungsvorrichtungen 27, 28 zur Befestigung des Reinigungstextils an einer Trägerplatte eines Flachwischers an. Die Befestigungsvorrichtungen 27, 28 sind als gummielastische Laschen ausgebildet und weisen Druckknöpfe zur Festlegung an einer Trägerplatte auf. Zur Montage des Reinigungstextils an der Trägerplatte werden die Laschen um die Querseiten der Trägerplatte geklappt und durch die Druckknöpfe zum Beispiel auf der Oberseite der Trägerplatte befestigt.On the transverse sides 22, 23, by which the longitudinal sides 20, 21 are delimited transversely to the wiping direction 7, the fastening devices 27, 28 for fastening the cleaning textile to a carrier plate of a flat wiper connect transversely to the wiping direction 7. The fastening devices 27, 28 are designed as rubber-elastic tabs and have press studs for fixing to a carrier plate. To mount the cleaning textile on the carrier plate, the tabs are folded around the transverse sides of the carrier plate and fastened, for example, to the top of the carrier plate with the push buttons.

In Figur 2 ist ein Schnitt durch das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 entlang der Linie A-A gezeigt.In Figure 2 is a section through the embodiment according to Figure 1 shown along the line AA.

Die mittlere zweite Reinigungszone 5 mit ihrem zweiten Reinigungsflor 11 und der zweiten Florhöhe 12 sowie der zweiten Flordichte 13 ist im Wesentlichen, in Wischrichtung 7 betrachtet, konvex ausgebildet und geht, in Wischrichtung 7 betrachtet, in die erste 4 und dritte Reinigungszone 6 über.The middle, second cleaning zone 5 with its second cleaning pile 11 and the second pile height 12 as well as the second pile density 13 is essentially in FIG Viewed in the wiping direction 7, it is convex and, viewed in the wiping direction 7, merges into the first 4 and third cleaning zones 6.

Der zweite Reinigungsflor 11 hat durch die vergleichsweise größere zweite Florhöhe 12 und die geringere Flordichte 13 eine offenere Struktur als die Reinigungszonen 4 und 6 und ist deshalb besonders gut geeignet, Verunreinigungen aufzunehmen und zu halten.The second cleaning pile 11 has a more open structure than the cleaning zones 4 and 6 due to the comparatively larger second pile height 12 and the lower pile density 13 and is therefore particularly well suited to absorbing and holding soiling.

Der Schnitt A-A verläuft, quer zur Wischrichtung 7 betrachtet, mittig durch das Reinigungstextil. Die gezeigte Flordichte 13 ist im Bereich dieses Schnitts am geringsten.The section A-A, viewed transversely to the wiping direction 7, runs centrally through the cleaning textile. The pile density 13 shown is lowest in the area of this section.

In Richtung der querseitigen Ränder nimmt die zweite Flordichte, ebenso wie die erste Flordichte und die dritte Flordichte jeweils zu, um die in diesen Bereichen verringerte Anpresskraft ausgleichen zu können, derart, dass das Reinigungsergebnis des Reinigungstextils, quer zur Wischrichtung betrachtet, bei der beschriebenen Verwendung praktisch übereinstimmend gut ist.In the direction of the transverse edges, the second pile density increases, as does the first pile density and the third pile density in each case, in order to be able to compensate for the reduced contact pressure in these areas, in such a way that the cleaning result of the cleaning textile, viewed transversely to the wiping direction, with the described use is practically consistently good.
