ES1065366U - Bucket for a floor mop - Google Patents

Abstract

Bucket for floor scrubbing, of the type that incorporates two physically independent compartments, one for clean water and the other for dirty water, equipped with respective drainboards, characterized in that said compartments adopt a horizontally superimposed arrangement, so that one of them occupies approximately the lower half of the body of the cube, while the other occupies the remaining upper area, the lower compartment being accessible through a neck that crosses the upper compartment, a formal and dimensionally adequate neck to receive inside it the corresponding drainer, while the upper compartment has a wide mouth that mostly affects the mouth of the body, with the exception of the said drain rack and its own grill.

Description

Bucket for scrubbing.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a hub for scrub them, specifically to a compartmentalized bucket horizontally, of those with two compartments independent of each other, one for clean (superior) water and another for dirty (lower) water.

The object of the invention is to achieve a cube that besides offering the benefits of a compartmentalized cube classic, separate the clean water from the one already used in the action of scrubbing and presenting a high degree of stability during use thereof, especially during manipulations of drained from the mop mop.

Background of the invention

Conventionally the scrubber buckets they have a body tending to the truncated conical configuration and inverted, to whose mouth a drainer is attached that leaves free a wide sector of it, to be able to introduce the mocho in the water, drainer with a conical configuration also inverted, profusely lattice and of suitable dimensions for receive the mocho during the draining maneuver of the same.

These cubes present as a fundamental problem the fact that the dirty water generated during the use of the mop on the floor drains mixing with clean water in the single compartment of which the cube is provided, which makes that the cleaning conditions are good at the beginning of the themselves, progressively deteriorating until a moment comes the one that the water dirty more than clean.

Trying to ignore this problem are known compartmentalized buckets, which allow the clean water to become independent of dirty water, so that the first one, that is to say clean water, it remains in good condition until the exhaustion of it.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning, among others, Utility Models ES 1056973 U, ES 1041343 U, and ES 1071111 U, as well as the Invention Patent ES 2274371 A1.

They all present as common denominator the fact that the two compartments previously cited, that of the clean water and dirty water, are laterally adjacent, vertical distribution, so that in the initial phase of use of the cube, that is when it is full of water clean, usually with a capacity of the order of six to ten liters, its center of gravity is markedly offset laterally, causing a high degree of instability in the cube, with a significant risk of overturning the same. This problem is repeated in the terminal cleaning phase, in which most of the water is located in the other compartment, also in a markedly off-center position.

Description of the invention

The bucket for scrubber that the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, ensuring perfect stability for the same throughout the entire period of use, specifically based on keep its center of gravity in sensitive coincidence with its vertical and geometric axis, both when the cube is full of clean water like when it is dirty water and when find in any intermediate situation.

To do this and more specifically the cube that is preconiza focuses its characteristics on the fact that the two classic compartments are superimposed, independent through a horizontal partition, leaving the upper compartment directly open and intended for clean water, while at Lower compartment is accessed through a narrow neck that it crosses the upper compartment and it is finished off in the classic draining rack.

Said access neck to the lower compartment it can be placed in any appropriate place in the cube, both in the periphery of the same as in its middle zone, without affecting absolute to the essence of the invention.

The upper compartment will be in turn equipped with another draining rack, to remove over said compartment a possible excess of clean water absorbed by the mocho.

In this way both water housed in a certain moment in the upper compartment like the one housed in the lower extend mostly affecting the entire plant of the cube, with what the stability of the same is insured

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic plan, a bucket for floor scrubber made of according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows an elevation view lateral and section thereof.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can Observe how the cube that the invention proposes is constituted to from a container body (1), which can adopt any conventional configuration, such as a configuration troncopiramidal or inverted truncated conical, centers its characteristics in the fact that in said body they are established two horizontally superimposed compartments, one lower (2) and another superior (3), with the collaboration of a partition compartmentalizer and horizontal (4), located intermediate level in height.

The lower compartment (2) is accessed through of a neck (5), formally and dimensionally suitable to allow the coupling inside the classic drainer or rack drainer (6), while the upper compartment (3) counts in turn with its own draining rack (7).

According to this structuring the Upper compartment (3) is intended for clean water, resulting directly accessible through the wide mouth (8) of the cube, while the lower compartment (2) is intended for dirty water, coming from the mop of the mop to through the neck (5), during draining thereof.

This special superimposed arrangement of the compartments (2) and (3) means that, regardless of the amount of water that exists in any of them, the center of gravity of the assembly remains substantially coincident with the center of gravity of the empty bucket, that is to say, in an optimal situation of stability against the normal efforts to which the cube is going to be subjected during the draining of the
Water.

Precisely in this line to look for the maximum stability is why the drainers (6) and (7) are placed in the middle area of the cube, although there is no problem for place them in the extreme areas of it, since the stability is ensured by the positioning of the water in your inside.

Finally, the lower compartment (2) can have a drain plug (9) in order to drain the water dirty without the need to dump the bucket.

Claims (3)

1. Bucket for floor scrubbers, of the type that incorporate two physically independent compartments, one for clean water and one for dirty water, equipped with respective drains, characterized in that said compartments adopt a horizontally superimposed arrangement, so that one of them occupies approximately the lower half of the body of the cube, while the other occupies the remaining upper area, the lower compartment being accessible through a neck that crosses the upper compartment, formally and dimensionally suitable neck to receive in its bosom corresponding drainer, while the upper compartment has a wide mouth that mostly affects the mouth of the body, with the exception of the said draining rack and its own grid. 2. Bucket for floor scrubbers, according to claim 1, characterized in that the draining grates of one and another compartment are preferably placed in a disposition substantially centered on the mouth of the body, however, being able to adopt any other more or less marginal position. 3. Bucket for floor scrubber according to claim 1, characterized in that a drain plug is enabled at the base of the lower compartment.
