Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'essorage pour balai serpillière.The invention relates to a wiping device for a mop.

On connaît déjà des balais serpillières comprenant une tête de balai présentant une surface plane sur laquelle peut être montée une serpillière. Ces balais sont généralement désignés par l'expression « balais plats » ou bien par l'expression « balai à tête plate ».Mops are already known comprising a mop head having a flat surface on which a mop can be mounted. These brooms are generally designated by the expression "flat brooms" or else by the expression "flat head broom".

Certains balais plats comprennent une tête comprenant :

  • une monture centrale adaptée pour être assemblée à un manche du balai, et
  • deux plaques latérales montées pivotantes sur ladite monture centrale entre :
    • une première position, dite position de nettoyage, dans laquelle les plaques latérales s'étendent dans un même plan, dit plan de nettoyage, dans une même direction et selon deux sens opposés à partir de ladite monture centrale, et
    • une deuxième position, dite position d'essorage, dans laquelle les plaques s'étendent en regard l'une de l'autre parallèlement à un axe orthogonal au plan de nettoyage.
Some flat brooms include a head comprising:
  • a central mount adapted to be assembled with a handle of the broom, and
  • two side plates pivotally mounted on said central mount between:
    • a first position, called the cleaning position, in which the side plates extend in the same plane, called the cleaning plane, in the same direction and in two opposite directions from the said central mount, and
    • a second position, called the wiping position, in which the plates extend facing each other parallel to an axis orthogonal to the cleaning plane.

Une serpillière peut être assemblée à des extrémités longitudinales distales des plaques latérales de façon à pouvoir :

  • être étendue contre les plaques latérales lorsque les plaques latérales sont dans une position de nettoyage et
  • être suspendue aux plaques latérales lorsque les plaques latérales sont dans une position d'essorage.
A mop can be assembled at distal longitudinal ends of the side plates so that it can:
  • be extended against the side plates when the side plates are in a cleaning position and
  • be suspended from the side plates when the side plates are in a wringing position.

EP 2 545 837 décrit un tel balai plat par exemple. EP 2 545 837 describes such a flat broom for example.

On connait également des dispositifs d'essorage pouvant être utilisés pour essorer par effet centrifuge une serpillière maintenue aux plaques latérales pivotantes d'un balai plat.There are also known wringing devices which can be used to wring, by centrifugal effect, a mop held on the pivoting side plates of a flat broom.

En particulier, de façon à pouvoir essorer une serpillière par effet centrifuge, la tête de balai est montée rotative autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire audit plan de nettoyage par rapport à au moins une partie du manche du balai. En outre, le dispositif d'essorage comprend un support (par exemple un seau) et un panier d'essorage assemblé au support de façon à pouvoir être entraîné en rotation par rapport au support autour d'un axe de rotation passant par une ouverture principale du panier et un fond du panier. Le panier d'essorage peut être entraîné en rotation par un dispositif d'entraînement du dispositif d'essorage tel qu'un moteur ou un mécanisme à pédale, ou bien par la tête de balai lorsque le balai comprend un dispositif d'entraînement en rotation de la tête de balai (voir notamment WO 2016/011829 ) et quand la tête de balai est placée dans le panier d'essorage. Lorsque le panier d'essorage est entraîné en rotation par un dispositif d'entraînement du dispositif d'essorage, la tête de balai est entrainée en rotation par le panier d'essorage.In particular, so as to be able to wring out a mop by centrifugal effect, the mop head is rotatably mounted around an axis of rotation perpendicular to said cleaning plane with respect to at least part of the mop handle. Furthermore, the wringing device comprises a support (for example a bucket) and a spin basket assembled on the support so as to be able to be driven in rotation relative to the support around an axis of rotation passing through a main opening of the basket and a bottom of the basket. The wringer basket may be rotated by a wringer drive device such as a motor or pedal mechanism, or by the mop head when the mop includes a spin drive of the broom head (see in particular WO 2016/011829 ) and when the mop head is placed in the spin basket. When the wringing basket is driven in rotation by a driving device of the wringing device, the mop head is driven in rotation by the wringing basket.

Un essorage par effet centrifuge nécessite une stabilité de la tête de balai dans le panier d'essorage. En effet, l'axe de rotation de la tête de balai doit être aligné sur l'axe de rotation du panier pour assurer une transmission du mouvement de rotation entre le panier d'essorage et la tête de balai. Il est donc nécessaire d'éviter tout basculement du balai par rapport au panier d'essorage.Spinning by centrifugal effect requires stability of the mop head in the spinner basket. Indeed, the axis of rotation of the mop head must be aligned with the axis of rotation of the basket to ensure transmission of the rotational movement between the wringing basket and the mop head. It is therefore necessary to avoid any tilting of the broom relative to the wringing basket.

Les dispositifs d'essorage connus prévoient donc généralement des paniers d'essorage de forme adaptée pour guider et stabiliser les plaques latérales de la tête de balai dans une position dans laquelle l'axe de rotation de la tête de balai et l'axe de rotation du panier d'essorage sont confondus.Known wringing devices therefore generally provide wringing baskets of suitable shape to guide and stabilize the side plates of the mop head in a position in which the axis of rotation of the mop head and the axis of rotation of the spin basket are confused.

Par exemple, CN 108478130 décrit un panier d'essorage pour balai plat comprenant une tête de balai avec deux plaques latérales pivotantes. Chaque plaque présente un rail de guidage s'étendant sur la longueur de cette plaque. Le panier présente une paroi formant une cavité adaptée pour recevoir la tête de balai dans une position d'essorage. En particulier, la paroi du panier forme deux rainures longitudinales en regard l'une de l'autre dans la cavité. Le rail de guidage de chaque plaque de la tête de balai est adapté pour coopérer avec les rainures du panier de façon à faciliter l'insertion de la tête de balai dans la cavité du panier et stabiliser la tête de balai dans la cavité du panier.For example, CN 108478130 discloses a flat mop wringer basket comprising a mop head with two pivoting side plates. Each plate has a guide rail extending along the length of this plate. The basket has a wall forming a cavity adapted to receive the mop head in a wringing position. In particular, the wall of the basket forms two longitudinal grooves facing each other in the cavity. The guide rail of each plate of the mop head is adapted to cooperate with the grooves of the basket so as to facilitate the insertion of the mop head into the cavity of the basket and to stabilize the mop head in the cavity of the basket.

Ainsi, le panier d'essorage et les plaques latérales de la tête de balai décrits par CN 108478130 présentent une forme relativement complexe (rails de guidage des plaques latérales et rainure du panier d'essorage) pour assurer un guidage et une stabilisation de la tête de balai dans la cavité du panier d'essorage. En outre, un utilisateur doit manipuler le balai de façon à placer le rail de guidage en regard des rainures du panier d'essorage avant d'insérer les plaques latérales de la tête de balai dans le panier d'essorage. Une telle manipulation du balai est complexe et laborieuse pour l'utilisateur.Thus, the wringing basket and side plates of the mop head described by CN 108478130 have a relatively complex shape (guide rails of the side plates and groove of the spin basket) to provide guidance and stabilization of the mop head in the basket cavity wringing. Further, a user must manipulate the mop so that the guide rail is aligned with the grooves of the spin basket before inserting the side plates of the mop head into the spin basket. Such manipulation of the broom is complex and laborious for the user.

Par ailleurs, WO 2005/027707 décrit un panier d'essorage pour balai plat comprenant également une tête de balai avec deux plaques latérales pivotantes. Le panier d'essorage définit une cavité dans laquelle une serpillière suspendue aux plaques latérales de la tête de balai peut être insérée avec lesdites plaques latérales. En particulier, le panier d'essorage présente deux parois latérales de forme adaptée pour définir une fente permettant aux plaques latérales de la tête de balai et à la serpillière d'accéder à la cavité du panier d'essorage. Cette fente est disposée de façon à centrer la tête de balai sur l'axe de rotation du panier d'essorage et d'empêcher tout basculement de la tête de balai par rapport au panier d'essorage.Moreover, WO 2005/027707 discloses a flat mop wringer basket also including a mop head with two pivoting side plates. The wringing basket defines a cavity into which a mop hanging from the side plates of the mop head can be inserted with said side plates. In particular, the wringer basket has two side walls of a shape adapted to define a slot allowing the side plates of the mop head and the mop to access the cavity of the wringer basket. This slot is arranged so as to center the mop head on the axis of rotation of the wringing basket and to prevent any tilting of the mop head relative to the wringing basket.

Un tel panier d'essorage pour balai plat présente une forme complexe et donc plus difficile à fabriquer. Un tel panier d'essorage ne présente pas une stabilité satisfaisante compte tenu de la forme du panier.Such a wringing basket for a flat mop has a complex shape and is therefore more difficult to manufacture. Such a wringing basket does not have satisfactory stability given the shape of the basket.

L'invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients.The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

L'invention vise donc à proposer un dispositif d'essorage permettant de faciliter l'insertion d'une tête de balai et l'essorage d'une serpillère équipant ladite tête de balai.The invention therefore aims to propose a wringing device making it possible to facilitate the insertion of a mop head and the wringing of a mop fitted to said mop head.

L'invention vise également à proposer un tel dispositif qui permette de stabiliser une tête de balai dans un panier d'essorage d'un tel dispositif d'essorage sans présenter une structure complexe telle que celle d'un panier d'essorage selon WO 2005/027707 .The invention also aims to provide such a device which makes it possible to stabilize a mop head in a wringing basket of such a wringing device without having a complex structure such as that of a wringing basket according to WO 2005/027707 .

L'invention concerne donc un dispositif d'essorage comprenant :

  • un panier d'essorage comprenant une paroi ajourée délimitant une cavité s'étendant à partir d'une ouverture principale du panier jusqu'à un fond du panier opposé à l'ouverture principale,
  • un support du panier,
  • un dispositif de guidage en rotation du panier par rapport au support autour d'un axe, dit axe longitudinal, passant par l'ouverture principale et le fond du panier, le dispositif de guidage étant assemblé au support et au panier,
caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend deux languettes en regard l'une de l'autre montées solidaires du panier d'essorage et s'étendant selon l'axe longitudinal à partir de la cavité du panier jusqu'au-delà de l'ouverture principale à l'extérieur du panier, lesdites languettes étant espacées l'une de l'autre de façon à permettre :
  • de guider une insertion de deux plaques pivotantes, dites plaques latérales, d'une tête de balai dans la cavité du panier entre les deux languettes lorsque ces plaques sont orientées de façon à être parallèles à l'axe longitudinal, et
  • d'empêcher un entraînement en rotation desdites plaques autour dudit axe longitudinal dans au moins un sens de rotation par rapport au panier lorsque ces plaques sont insérées dans la cavité du panier.
The invention therefore relates to a wiping device comprising:
  • a wringing basket comprising a perforated wall delimiting a cavity extending from a main opening of the basket to a bottom of the basket opposite the main opening,
  • a basket support,
  • a device for guiding the basket in rotation relative to the support around an axis, called the longitudinal axis, passing through the main opening and the bottom of the basket, the guiding device being assembled with the support and with the basket,
characterized in that it comprises two tabs facing each other mounted integral with the wringing basket and extending along the longitudinal axis from the cavity of the basket to beyond the opening main outside the basket, said tabs being spaced from each other so as to allow:
  • to guide an insertion of two pivoting plates, called side plates, of a mop head into the cavity of the basket between the two tongues when these plates are oriented so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis, and
  • to prevent said plates from being driven in rotation about said longitudinal axis in at least one direction of rotation relative to the basket when these plates are inserted into the cavity of the basket.

Un tel dispositif d'essorage selon l'invention présente l'avantage de procurer une facilité d'utilisation améliorée sans toutefois présenter une structure complexe. En particulier, de telles languettes d'un dispositif d'essorage selon l'invention permettent de centrer efficacement la tête de balai au cours de son insertion, dès qu'elle entre au contact d'au moins l'une desdites languettes, c'est-à-dire sans avoir à viser particulièrement précisément en manoeuvrant le balai.Such a wiping device according to the invention has the advantage of providing improved ease of use without however having a complex structure. In particular, such tongues of a wiping device according to the invention make it possible to effectively center the mop head during its insertion, as soon as it comes into contact with at least one of said tongues, it that is, without having to aim particularly precisely when maneuvering the broom.

Dans certains modes de réalisation conformes à l'invention, les languettes comprennent chacune une extrémité longitudinale, dite extrémité extérieure, s'étendant à l'extérieur du panier.

Le dispositif 1 d'essorage illustré aux figures 1 à 11 comprend :

  • un panier 2 d'essorage comprenant une paroi 3 ajourée délimitant une cavité 4 s'étendant à partir d'une ouverture 7 principale du panier jusqu'à un fond 5 du panier opposé à l'ouverture 7 principale,
  • un support 10 du panier,
  • un dispositif 11 de guidage en rotation du panier par rapport au support autour d'un axe, dit axe longitudinal 50, passant par l'ouverture 7 principale et le fond du panier, le dispositif de guidage étant assemblé au support 10 et au panier 2,
  • deux languettes 32, 34 en regard l'une de l'autre assemblées au panier 2 d'essorage et s'étendant selon l'axe longitudinal 50 à partir de la cavité 4 du panier 2 jusqu'au-delà de l'ouverture principale à l'extérieur du panier, lesdites languettes 32, 34 étant espacées l'une de l'autre.
The wiping device 1 illustrated in figures 1 to 11 understand :
  • a wringing basket 2 comprising a perforated wall 3 defining a cavity 4 extending from a main opening 7 of the basket to a bottom 5 of the basket opposite the main opening 7,
  • a support 10 of the basket,
  • a device 11 for guiding the basket in rotation relative to the support around an axis, called the longitudinal axis 50, passing through the main opening 7 and the bottom of the basket, the guiding device being assembled to the support 10 and to the basket 2 ,
  • two tongues 32, 34 facing each other assembled to the wringing basket 2 and extending along the longitudinal axis 50 from the cavity 4 of the basket 2 to beyond the main opening outside the basket, said tabs 32, 34 being spaced from each other.

Le dispositif 1 d'essorage peut être associé à un balai comprenant ladite tête 60 de balai reliée à l'extrémité d'un manche 64 du balai de façon à former un kit de nettoyage.The wiping device 1 can be associated with a broom comprising said broom head 60 connected to the end of a handle 64 of the broom so as to form a cleaning kit.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 7, une serpillère 70 peut également être fixée à la tête de balai, et plus particulièrement aux plaques latérales 61, 62. Cette serpillère 70 peut se présenter sous différentes formes, par exemple sous la forme d'une bande de tissu absorbant.As can be seen on the figure 7 , a mop 70 can also be attached to the mop head, and more particularly to the side plates 61, 62. This mop 70 can take different forms, for example in the form of a strip of absorbent fabric.

De telles languettes sont adaptées pour permettre d'une part, de guider une insertion de deux plaques latérales 61, 62 pivotantes d'une tête 60 de balai dans la cavité 4 du panier entre les deux languettes 32, 34 lorsque ces plaques latérales 61, 62 sont orientées de façon à être parallèles à l'axe longitudinal 50, et, d'autre part, d'empêcher un entraînement en rotation des plaques latérales 61, 62 autour de l'axe longitudinal 50 dans au moins un sens de rotation par rapport au panier 10 lorsque ces plaques latérales 61, 62 sont insérées dans la cavité 4 du panier 2 d'essorage.Such tongues are adapted to allow on the one hand, to guide an insertion of two side plates 61, 62 pivoting of a mop head 60 in the cavity 4 of the basket between the two tongues 32, 34 when these side plates 61, 62 are oriented so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis 50, and, on the other hand, to prevent the side plates 61, 62 from being driven in rotation around the longitudinal axis 50 in at least one direction of rotation by relative to the basket 10 when these side plates 61, 62 are inserted into the cavity 4 of the basket 2 spin.

Chaque plaque latérale 61, 62 de la tête 60 de balai est assemblée à une plaque centrale 63 de la tête de balai par une liaison pivotante de manière à pouvoir être déplacée entre au moins une position de nettoyage, dans laquelle lesdites plaques latérales s'étendent dans un même plan, et, au moins une position d'essorage (représentée en figure 7), dans laquelle lesdites plaques 61, 62 sont orientées de façon à être parallèles à l'axe longitudinal 50.Each side plate 61, 62 of the mop head 60 is joined to a central plate 63 of the mop head by a pivoting connection so as to be able to be moved between at least one cleaning position, in which said side plates extend in the same plane, and at least one spin position (shown in figure 7 ), wherein said plates 61, 62 are oriented so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis 50.

Le panier 2 d'essorage présente une paroi 3 ajourée symétrique de révolution autour de l'axe longitudinal 50. Une telle paroi permet un équilibrage et une stabilité du panier d'essorage lorsque celui-ci est entraîné en rotation lors d'un essorage.The wringing basket 2 has a perforated wall 3 symmetrical in revolution around the longitudinal axis 50. Such a wall allows balancing and stability of the wringing basket when the latter is rotated during wringing.

La paroi 3 ajourée présente une pluralité de lumières 6 de passage pour un liquide s'échappant d'une serpillère 70 d'un balai lors de l'essorage. Ces lumières 6 peuvent présenter toutes formes et dimensions. Ces lumières 6 sont disposées autour de l'axe longitudinal 50. En particulier, chaque lumière 6 s'étend dans un plan radial à l'axe longitudinal 50 et contenant cet axe longitudinal 50. En outre, les lumières 6 s'étendent sur une partie de la hauteur de la partie latérale de la paroi 3 ajourée. Ainsi, les lumières 6 séparent la paroi 3 ajourée en fuseaux.The perforated wall 3 has a plurality of passage openings 6 for a liquid escaping from a mop 70 of a broom during spin-drying. These lights 6 can have any shape and size. These slots 6 are arranged around the longitudinal axis 50. In particular, each slot 6 extends in a plane radial to the longitudinal axis 50 and containing this longitudinal axis 50. In addition, the slots 6 extend over a part of the height of the side part of the perforated wall 3. Thus, the slots 6 separate the perforated wall 3 into spindles.

Les lumières 6 présentent en particulier une largeur comprise entre 2 mm et 7 mm, plus particulièrement de l'ordre de 4 mm. Les lumières 6 permettent l'évacuation en dehors de la cavité 4 de réception d'un liquide provenant d'un essorage d'une serpillère 70 d'un balai plat.The openings 6 in particular have a width of between 2 mm and 7 mm, more particularly of the order of 4 mm. The slots 6 allow the evacuation outside the cavity 4 of reception of a liquid coming from a wringing of a mop 70 of a flat broom.

Les languettes 32, 34 sont espacées l'une de l'autre de façon à former entre elles un passage d'insertion des plaques pivotantes. Les languettes 32, 34 comprennent chacune une extrémité longitudinale, dite extrémité extérieure 33, 35, disposée à l'extérieur du panier et présentant une forme adaptée pour définir un évasement du passage d'insertion vers l'extérieur du dispositif d'essorage.The tongues 32, 34 are spaced apart so as to form between them a passage for inserting the pivoting plates. The tongues 32, 34 each comprise a longitudinal end, called the outer end 33, 35, arranged outside the basket and having a shape adapted to define a widening of the insertion passage towards the outside of the wiping device.

Les languettes 32, 34 permettent de guider la tête 60 de balai depuis l'extérieur de la paroi 3 ajourée du panier 2 d'essorage lorsque cette dernière est insérée dans le panier et donc de faciliter l'insertion de la tête de balai avec la serpillère dans la cavité 4 du panier. Ceci permet en particulier d'éviter d'avoir à viser précisément en manoeuvrant le balai comme avec un panier d'essorage selon CN 108478130 . En effet, avec un dispositif d'essorage selon l'invention, même si la tête de balai est approchée de la cavité du panier d'essorage sans être exactement axialement en translation selon l'axe longitudinal 50, c'est-à-dire en étant légèrement décalée à l'extérieur du panier, les languettes permettent de centrer ensuite progressivement la tête de balai au cours de l'insertion, en particulier dès qu'elle entre au contact d'une seule des languettes 32, 34. Lorsque la tête 60 de balai est positionnée à l'intérieur de la cavité 4 du panier d'essorage, les languettes 32, 34 permettent de centrer la tête 60 de balai et de coupler en rotation le panier 2 d'essorage et la tête 60 de balai.The tabs 32, 34 make it possible to guide the mop head 60 from the outside of the perforated wall 3 of the wringing basket 2 when the latter is inserted into the basket and therefore to facilitate the insertion of the mop head with the mop in cavity 4 of the basket. This makes it possible in particular to avoid having to aim precisely when maneuvering the broom as with a wringing basket according to CN 108478130 . Indeed, with a wiping device according to the invention, even if the mop head is approached to the cavity of the wiping basket without being exactly axially in translation along the longitudinal axis 50, that is to say by being slightly offset on the outside of the basket, the tabs then make it possible to gradually center the mop head during insertion, in particular as soon as it comes into contact with only one of the tabs 32, 34. When the mop head 60 is positioned inside the cavity 4 of the wringing basket, the tongues 32, 34 make it possible to center the mop head 60 and to couple in rotation the wringing basket 2 and the mop head 60 .

L'extrémité extérieure 33, 35 de chaque languette 32, 34 présente une forme adaptée pour définir une butée 40, 41 adaptée pour bloquer dans un même sens de rotation une plaque centrale de la tête de balai, la plaque centrale s'étendant orthogonalement audit axe longitudinal et en saillie au-delà des plaques latérales 61, 62 lorsque lesdites plaques latérales sont orientées de façon à être parallèles à l'axe longitudinal 50. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, chaque butée 40, 41 est formée par une incurvation de chaque languette de façon à présenter une section en L par exemple.The outer end 33, 35 of each tab 32, 34 has a shape adapted to define a stop 40, 41 adapted to block in the same direction of rotation a central plate of the brush head, the central plate extending orthogonally to said longitudinal axis and projecting beyond the side plates 61, 62 when said side plates are oriented so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis 50. In the embodiment shown, each abutment 40, 41 is formed by a curvature of each tongue so as to present an L-section for example.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 11, les languettes 32, 34 présentent une longueur telle qu'elles s'étendent jusqu'au fond du panier, la longueur desdites languettes 32, 34 étant au moins égale à la longueur de chaque plaque latérale 61, 62. Toutefois, il est également possible de prévoir des languettes 32, 34 ne s'étendant pas jusqu'au fond 5 du panier 2 d'essorage. La longueur de chaque portion de languette 32, 34 s'étendant au-delà de l'ouverture 26 principale du panier 2 d'essorage, c'est-à-dire à l'extérieur de la cavité du panier 2 d'essorage peut varier et être légèrement supérieure ou inférieure à celle du mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 11.In the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 11 , the tabs 32, 34 have a length such that they extend to the bottom of the basket, the length of said tabs 32, 34 being at least equal to the length of each side plate 61, 62. However, it is also possible to provide tabs 32, 34 not extending to the bottom 5 of the basket 2 spin. The length of each tongue portion 32, 34 extending beyond the main opening 26 of the basket 2 spin, that is to say outside the cavity of the basket 2 spin can vary and be slightly higher or lower than that of the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 11 .

Chaque languette du dispositif d'essorage peut également présenter un épaulement (non représenté) de façon à pouvoir servir de butée axiale ou d'appui pour ladite plaque centrale de ladite tête de balai en formant un rétrécissement apte à bloquer en translation axiale vers l'intérieur du panier d'essorage ladite plaque centrale (sans empêcher l'insertion desdites plaques pivotantes). Chaque épaulement peut par exemple être formé d'une rainure centrale (s'étendant longitudinalement), chaque rainure présentant des bords latéraux permettant d'empêcher un entraînement en rotation de la tête de balai par rapport au panier d'essorage. Chaque rainure forme alors une butée adaptée pour bloquer dans un même sens de rotation la plaque centrale de la tête de balai telles que les butées 40, 41. Une telle variante est particulièrement avantageuse lorsque le fond ne sert pas de support à la tête de balai.Each tab of the wiping device may also have a shoulder (not shown) so as to be able to serve as an axial stop or support for said central plate of said mop head by forming a constriction capable of blocking in axial translation towards the interior of the spin basket said central plate (without preventing the insertion of said pivoting plates). Each shoulder can for example be formed by a central groove (extending longitudinally), each groove having side edges making it possible to prevent the mop head from being driven in rotation relative to the wringing basket. Each groove then forms a stop adapted to lock the central plate of the mop head in the same direction of rotation, such as the stops 40, 41. Such a variant is particularly advantageous when the bottom does not serve as a support for the mop head. .

L'extrémité extérieure 33, 35 de chaque languette 32, 34 présente un bord latéral définissant ladite butée adaptée pour bloquer dans un même sens de rotation la plaque centrale de la tête de balai.The outer end 33, 35 of each tongue 32, 34 has a lateral edge defining said abutment adapted to lock the central plate of the brush head in the same direction of rotation.

Chaque languette 32, 34 est assemblée de façon amovible au support du panier et au panier d'essorage, par exemple à l'aide d'au moins un crochet configuré pour pouvoir se fixer sur un bord supérieur dudit panier d'essorage. En particulier, dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 11, chaque languette comprend deux crochets 36, 38 coopérant chacun avec une fente 37, 39 ménagée dans le bord supérieur du panier d'essorage comme on peut le voir sur la figure 9.Each tongue 32, 34 is removably assembled to the support of the basket and to the spin basket, for example using at least one hook configured to be able to be fixed on an upper edge of said spin basket. In particular, in the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 11 , each tab comprises two hooks 36, 38 each cooperating with a slot 37, 39 formed in the upper edge of the spin basket as can be seen in the figure 9 .

Le panier 2 d'essorage est configuré pour permettre à la tête 60 de balai de reposer sur ledit fond du panier d'essorage de façon à pouvoir bloquer axialement la tête de balai et à faciliter l'entraînement en rotation du panier d'essorage. Cela permet également de bloquer axialement le balai. Les butées des languettes permettent également de transmettre le couple de rotation de la tête de balai au panier d'essorage.The wringing basket 2 is configured to allow the mop head 60 to rest on said bottom of the wringing basket so as to be able to block the mop head axially and to facilitate the driving in rotation of the wringing basket. This also makes it possible to block the brush axially. The tab stops also transmit the torque from the mop head to the spin basket.

Le panier 2 d'essorage est guidé en rotation par rapport au support 10 du dispositif 1 d'essorage. Pour ce faire, un anneau centré sur l'axe longitudinal 50 est par exemple placé sur une partie de la paroi du support 10 s'étendant autour de la partie latérale ajourée, autour de l'axe longitudinal et étant orthogonal à cet axe longitudinal 50. L'anneau présente une gorge circulaire sur une face opposée à une face de l'anneau placée contre la paroi du support 10. Une cage comprenant des organes roulants est placée sur la gorge de l'anneau. En particulier, les organes roulants sont des billes. La couronne rapportée du panier 2 d'essorage comprend un collet s'étendant en saillie de la paroi cylindrique. Le collet présente une gorge circulaire en regard de la gorge de l'anneau et placée sur la cage et les organes roulants de façon à former un dispositif 11 de guidage en rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal 50 du panier 2 d'essorage par rapport au support 10.The wringing basket 2 is guided in rotation with respect to the support 10 of the wringing device 1. To do this, a ring centered on the longitudinal axis 50 is for example placed on a part of the wall of the support 10 extending around the perforated side part, around the longitudinal axis and being orthogonal to this longitudinal axis 50 The ring has a circular groove on a face opposite a face of the ring placed against the wall of the support 10. A cage comprising rolling members is placed on the groove of the ring. In particular, the rolling members are balls. The attached crown of the wringing basket 2 comprises a collar extending projecting from the cylindrical wall. The collar has a circular groove opposite the groove of the ring and placed on the cage and the rolling members so as to form a device 11 for guiding in rotation around the longitudinal axis 50 of the wringing basket 2 with respect to to bracket 10.

Le panier 2 d'essorage pourrait également être guidé en rotation par rapport au support 10 du dispositif 1 d'essorage à l'aide d'un panier assemblé à la paroi interne du seau par une liaison pivot, la partie de la paroi interne assemblée au panier s'élevant par exemple jusqu'à mi-hauteur du seau. Une telle liaison pivot peut comprendre une tige de pivot assemblée à la paroi à une de ses extrémités et au panier à son autre extrémité. En variante, un panier d'essorage actionné à l'aide d'une pédale pourrait également être utilisé.The wringing basket 2 could also be guided in rotation relative to the support 10 of the wringing device 1 using a basket assembled to the internal wall of the bucket by a pivot connection, the part of the internal wall assembled to the basket rising, for example, halfway up the bucket. Such a pivot connection can comprise a pivot rod assembled to the wall at one of its ends and to the basket at its other end. Alternatively, a spin basket operated by a foot pedal could also be used.

Le dispositif 1 d'essorage comprend également un capot 25 anti-projection placé au-dessus de l'ouverture 7 principale du panier 2 d'essorage et présentant une ouverture 26 de passage d'une tête 60 d'un balai. En particulier, l'ouverture 26 de passage du capot 25 anti-projection est de préférence circulaire. Par exemple, l'ouverture 26 de passage du capot 25 anti-projection présente un diamètre compris entre 100 mm et 150 mm, plus particulièrement de l'ordre de 128 mm.The wiping device 1 also comprises a splash guard 25 placed above the main opening 7 of the wiping basket 2 and having an opening 26 for the passage of a head 60 of a broom. In particular, the passage opening 26 of the anti-projection hood 25 is preferably circular. For example, the passage opening 26 of the anti-projection cover 25 has a diameter of between 100 mm and 150 mm, more particularly of the order of 128 mm.

Le dispositif 1 peut également être associé à un seau 75 tel que représenté en figure 11 auquel peut être assemblé le support du panier.The device 1 can also be associated with a bucket 75 as shown in figure 11 to which the basket support can be assembled.

L'invention peut faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes et applications autres que celles décrites ci-dessus. En particulier, il va de soi que sauf indication contraire les différentes caractéristiques structurelles et fonctionnelles de chacun des modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus ne doivent pas être considérées comme combinées et/ou étroitement et/ou inextricablement liées les unes aux autres, mais au contraire comme de simples juxtapositions. En outre, les caractéristiques structurelles et/ou fonctionnelles des différents modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus peuvent faire l'objet en tout ou partie de toute juxtaposition différente ou de toute combinaison différente. Par exemple, la paroi du panier d'essorage peut présenter toute autre forme adaptée pour permettre l'essorage d'une serpillère.The invention may be the subject of numerous variants and applications other than those described above. In particular, it goes without saying that, unless otherwise indicated, the various structural and functional characteristics of each of the embodiments described above should not be considered as combined and/or closely and/or inextricably linked to each other, but to the opposite as mere juxtapositions.
