Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wringer for a wiper device, comprising a basket-like receptacle, in which the wiper device can be wrung out by pressing in and a holder for attachment to the wringer in a mop bucket.
  • Such a wringer is known for example from DE 102 10 569 A1.
  • Such wiping devices are suitable for mops or for
  • Wiping device introduced into the receptacle, wherein the mop cover for
  • the receptacle has basket-like or sieve-like recesses, so that the water which is pressed out when the mop is pressed into the receptacle from the mop cover or from the mop, drips through the openings or recesses of the receptacle into the mop bucket.
  • mop covers for flat wipers which consist of synthetic textiles have only a low compressibility.
  • the low compressibility leads to a very steep increase in force at the end of the wiper cover in the wringer Press pathway.
  • the user receives no clear feedback regarding the compression of the mop cover, which complicates the correct dosage of the pressing force and the achievement of a desired Auswringgrades.
  • the invention has the object to provide a wringer for a wiper device, which is easy and ergonomic to use.
  • the receptacle is guided in the holder such that the receptacle is translationally movable in the insertion direction of the wiper device.
  • a wiper device is pressed into the receptacle, translationally in the direction of Wischerimer convinceds. This means that for wringing out a mop cover, the user must press the mop to a greater extent in the recording. This gives the user even with only slightly compressible mop covers
  • the translational movement of the receptacle takes place against the force of a spring.
  • the Eipresskraft steadily increases, if the
  • Wiper is pressed into the receptacle. Unlike compressible mop covers which are pressed into a rigid receptacle, the resistance to the impressions increases only gradually, so that the wringing of the mop cover can be very well dosed and the user a

  • the guide prevents the recording in the holder tilts or even rotatable. This can do that
  • Wiper device defined to be pressed into the receptacle. Furthermore, this results in a stable embodiment of the wringer.
  • the guide may consist of columnar protrusions and congruent
  • the columnar projections are also formed from the holder. Into the recording are
  • the projections take on two functions by the projections allows a translational movement of the receptacle relative to the holder and by the depressed in the recording mop is also performed. During the translational movement of the receptacle, the projections slide in the apertures back and forth. At the same time the mop is applied to the projections and is guided into the interior of the recording.
  • This embodiment is particularly space-saving due to the lack of wells, so that the clear width of the recording can be increased. This allows voluminous mops in the
  • the wringing device can be wrung out and the mops can be pressed deeper into the receptacle.
  • spring elements are provided, which are deformed during relative movement of the receptacle upon depression of the wiper device. These cause the translational movement of the recording against the force of a spring.
  • the spring elements may be provided in the receptacle or in the holder. In an advantageous embodiment, the spring elements are arranged in the holder.
  • the spring elements can be formed of the same material and in one piece from the holder.
  • the spring elements can be provided particularly cost-effective in the holder.
  • the assembly effort for mounting the wringer decreases.
  • the spring elements may be associated with punch body, which deform the spring body upon movement of the receptacle.
  • the punches are preferably designed so that they come to rest on the spring elements as soon as a wiper device is pressed into the receptacle.
  • Stamps cause a defined deformation, so that a unique
  • the plunger body are assigned to either the recording or the holder.
  • visual display means may be provided.
  • the holder is provided with a pointer which is associated with a mounted on the receptacle scale.
  • the scale can be provided with markings which signal depending on the pollution and the type of soil to be cleaned when the optimum pressing force is reached. For example, the mop cover for the cleaning of parquet with a lower
  • Amount of liquid to be loaded while the amount of liquid for cleaning of tiles can be larger. Accordingly, a first mark may indicate when the optimum pressing force for tile cleaning is present. A second mark may indicate when the optimum laminate press force is present. A third mark can indicate if the optimum pressing force for parquet is present. Upon reaching the third mark, the spring element is almost completely deformed and the recording is almost completely in
  • the holder can be held captive in the holder via snap hooks.
  • the snap hooks are designed so that always one
  • the opening may be assigned a funnel-shaped edge, which is higher on one side.
  • the higher edge is preferably assigned to the side which is remote from the insertion direction of the wiper device. This simplifies and improves the insertion of the wiper device and the funnel function of the recording.
  • the wringer may be associated with a tray.
  • the tray can be molded either in the holder or in the receptacle.
  • a simple embodiment of the tray is formed from a semi-circular recess which is formed in the holder or in the receptacle.
  • the shelf is used for the temporary fixation of wipers.
  • the tray is preferably arranged such that the wiper device can be placed in the mop bucket and held there. The shelf allows so far a non-tilting positioning of the wiper device when it is placed in the mop bucket.

  • Wiping devices in the form of a flat wiper with a folding wiper plate is suitable, on which a mop cover can be wrung from the wiper plate hanging down hanging in the wringing device 1.
  • the wringer 1 has a basket-like receptacle 2, in which the wiper device can be wrung out by pressing. To wring the wiper is inserted into the receptacle 2. By pressing into the receptacle 2, the mop cover of the mop is wrung out by compression and excess water passes through the introduced into the receptacle 2 slots 14 or other openings of the receptacle 2 in the mop bucket.
