Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bucket with wringer, which is intended to clean floors by means of a mop which is wrung in the wringer, the bucket being of the type that includes moving elements, such as wheels, in order to facilitate the sliding thereof on the surface to be mopped, and which aims to improve the aesthetics, movement and stability of the bucket, by means of a novel configuration of the base of the bucket.
  • the front part of the bucket has a configuration oriented outward and upward, such that it enables the bucket to tilt on the moving elements and rest on the wheels.
  • This configuration makes the aesthetics of the bucket irregular and causes them to have an unstable appearance. Furthermore, the movement achieved with this bucket configuration can be improved.
  • Document ES1016710U discloses a mop bucket having an axle of wheels at each side of the center of gravity of the bucket so that at rest position or while the bucket is moving, the two axles of wheels are in contact with the floor and in working position the mop makes pressure on the bucket, which tilts and an adge of the bucket contacts the floor, so that one of the axles of wheels separates from the floor.
  • Document US2007/294853A1 refers to a bucket equipped with a rinsing basket installed in its open end and wheels installed in its bottom part. It is characterized in that it incorporates a pair of wheels going in the same direction placed before a crossectional plane that contains the center of gravity.
  • the bottom part contains an ample rear section (8) behind the pair of wheels (5) and a narrow frontal portion (7) that extends upwards and outwards and located before the wheels (5), configured in such a manner that when the bucket is in the at rest or stationary position it is only supported by that posterior portion (8), while during the rinsing of the mop, when we press down the frontal part of the bucket with said mop, the bucket will oscillate slightly and will be able to travel if it is set to rest on the wheels (5) by elevating the rear part (8) that will leave the floor during this travelling stage.
  • the invention provides a novel bucket with wringer for a mop, which, like those foreseen in the state of the art, comprises at least three moving elements of the bucket on the floor, such that two of the moving elements are mutually facing in a transversal plane of the bucket and located displaced towards the front part of the bucket, in relation to the transversal plane containing the centre of gravity of the bucket.
  • the wringer like the conventional buckets, is located in the rear part of the mouth of the bucket, and the third moving element is arranged in front of the transversal plane containing the two moving elements.
  • the invention is novel since it is characterised in that the rear part of the base, located behind the transversal plane containing the two moving elements, comprises at least one relief which, together with said mutually facing moving elements, touch the floor both when the bucket is at rest and when pressure is applied to the wringer with the mop; in which position the third moving element is separated from the floor, without touching the same.
  • the at least one relief is made up of a plurality of reliefs, which for example are lugs.
  • the bucket has the novelty that at least the contour of the base of the bucket is parallel to the floor in the resting position, in which position said contour is separated from the floor by the at least one relief, or plurality of reliefs, and by the two mutually facing moving elements, which provides a structure with greater stability and a better aesthetic.
  • the base comprises a concavity flanked by the contour, but it is also foreseen that the base can be flat and parallel to the floor, which, as described, also establishes that the contour of the base is parallel to the floor. It is possible that the base can adopt any configuration, provided that the contour thereof is parallel to the floor.
  • the described configuration has the advantage that since the third element is separated from the floor, but very close to the same, the tilting that the bucket must perform to move when the pressure is applied to the front part thereof is very small, which greatly facilitates performance of the displacement manoeuvre of the bucket, while providing a stable structure with a regular aesthetic.
  • the at least one relief or reliefs are arranged in the contour of the base, but they can also be distributed on the rear part of the surface of the base, always behind the transversal plane containing the two mutually facing moving elements, regardless of whether it is flat or concave curved or has any other configuration that it may adopt.
  • the third moving element is a roller, but it can also be a wheel.
  • the bucket 1 of the invention comprises a wringer 2 which is foreseen in the rear part of the mouth of the bucket 1 in order to wring a mop (not depicted) by means of which floors are mopped.
  • the bucket 1 comprises two moving elements 4, which are preferably two wheels, which are mutually facing in a transversal plane of the bucket 1 and are arranged displaced towards the front part of the bucket 1, with respect to the transversal plane 5 containing the centre of gravity of the bucket.
  • the wheels 4 are located in front of the centre of gravity of the bucket.
  • the base 3 of the bucket 1 comprises a third moving element 6, preferably a roller, which is arranged shifted forward with respect to the wheels 4.
  • the base 3 has a configuration wherein, at least, the contour 3a thereof is parallel to the floor wherein the bucket is located.
  • the base is concave curved and the contour 3a thereof is parallel to the floor, but the base 3 could be flat and parallel to the floor.
  • the front part of the concave curved area of the base 3 includes the roller 6 which protrudes with respect to the contour 3a of the base 3.
  • the rear part of the base 3, more specifically the part which is located behind the transversal plane containing the wheels 4, comprises at least one relief 7, which in the exemplary embodiment comprises a plurality of reliefs 7, which can be lugs for example, which are arranged in the contour 3a of the base 3, although they could also be distributed on the rear part of the base 3.
  • the plurality of reliefs 7 are foreseen to provide a means of resting the base on the floor when the bucket is at rest, in which position the base further rests on the wheels 4 and the roller 6 is separated a small distance from the floor, such that said roller 6 does not touch the floor.
  • This position of the bucket is maintained when it is at rest and when the wringer 2 is pressed in order to wring the mop, since the pressure is applied on the wheels 4 and ribs 7 of the rear part of the bucket, such that they maintain the bucket in this stable position.
