Description

DESCRIPTION

SCRUB HEAD

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the field of cleaning tools, more specifically to floor cleaning tools, such as mops, and more specifically to floor cleaning tools that comprise an interchangeable head with a plurality of textile elements used for cleaning. scrubbing and / or drying surfaces.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, mops or mops are widely known that comprise at least one longitudinal element connected at one of its ends with a head that comprises a plurality of textile elements used to clean and dry the traversed surfaces.

These textile elements have a high power of absorption of liquids, however, none of them is capable of achieving a descaling of dirt, due to their low mechanical resistance.

That is why numerous documents belonging to the state of the art have been directed to achieve scrub heads that present substantial improvements in descaling operations to achieve a better finish with the dirt that is more difficult to remove.

For example, we can find document ES1138465, which describes a head for a mop mop, with a lower assembly piece composed of a fluffy body of spherical or substantially spherical shape, formed by a mass of polyurethane foam or similar. , which will be covered by a flexible and absorbent laminar material that, on its face facing the upper part, has a stem with a polygonal section, finished in a pyramidal finish that assembles and fixes the mop and is attached to its upper part.

Document ES1078469 also belongs to the state of the art, which describes a head for mops in which the strips of textile material, made from a flexible laminar material, which are comprised of two microfiber cords, and between each of them a material with descaling properties is incorporated.

We can also find document ES1209989, which describes a head with additional fixing means between the different strips of textile material, which have the advantage of collaborating in the retention of said strips, remaining joined together, achieving a head configuration. more efficient and durable.

Finally, we can also find document ES1214419, which describes a scrubbing head that comprises two lower extensions finished off by barbed claws, and a cover with windows configured to insert the previous extensions, achieving anchoring through the use of the claws, achieving a means of reinforcing the head itself, with a compact and resistant configuration.

However, none of the previous documents achieves a true descaling of dirt, since the improvements in the anchors or in the configurations of the textile elements do not satisfy the cleaning needs, since they do not allow the use of resistant elements that allow re-offending on the dirt present on the surfaces, achieving the desired descaling.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The scrubbing head that the invention proposes is therefore configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since in accordance with its implementation and in an exhaustive manner, the indicated objectives are satisfactorily achieved, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish them conveniently collected in the final claims that accompany the present description.

The present invention proposes a scrubbing head that achieves a complete descaling of the dirt present on the surfaces covered, while improving the cleaning and absorption of said surfaces through improvements introduced in the set formed by the plurality of longitudinal textile elements.

To achieve this, the incorporation of some elements in the head is proposed that allow the descaling of the dirt more adhered to them, that allow the dirt embedded in the surfaces to be directly attacked.

In particular, the scrubbing head will comprise a main body, in the form of a concave structure or inverted cup, that configures a more pronounced concavity than those existing in the market, so that the greater binding of the textile elements that make up the mop is achieved, improving the general properties of the product itself.

Additionally, and to improve the descaling of dirt, the head will comprise at least one protrusion on its outer perimeter, which will be made of the same material as the mop head, that is, of a plastic material or of similar characteristics, with sufficient mechanical resistance to be used against surfaces during descaling tasks.

In other words, according to the invention, these protrusions will be used to directly attack the dirt embedded in the surfaces, using them as scrapers, which achieve complete descaling.

In this way, we are able to improve the descaling characteristics of the scrub head, allowing the dirt that is more adhering to the surfaces to be cleaned to be removed.

The scrubbing head and the set of elements described represent an innovation with structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide it with a sufficient basis to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part of this specification, and in which specific preferred embodiments in which the invention may be carried out are shown by way of illustration. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to carry out the invention, and it is understood that other embodiments may be used and that structural, mechanical, electrical, and / or chemical logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. of the invention. To avoid details not necessary to enable those skilled in the art to carry out the detailed description, it should not, therefore, be taken in a limiting sense.

Specifically, the present invention proposes a scrubbing head that comprises at least one main body 1, with means of connection to a longitudinal element at one of its ends, such as a pole or extension element; and also comprising a plurality of textile elements, mechanically attached to the main body 1, which will be characterized in that the main body 1 comprises a concave or substantially concave shape, in the shape of an inverted cup, and comprises at least one protrusion 2 on its outer perimeter , configured as a descaling element for dirt adhering to surfaces.

In this way, by incorporating the protrusions 2 to the main body 1, an element is achieved that can be used to descale the dirt directly, by rubbing or directly attacking the dirt using said protrusions 2.

Preferably, these protrusions 2 will be made of the same material as the main body 1, although not in a limiting way, since any material that has sufficient mechanical characteristics to achieve the proposed objective of descaling the dirt by direct attack of the bumps 2.

In another preferred embodiment, the protrusions 2 will have a rounded lip shape, so that the objective of descaling the dirt is achieved, but without damaging the surface to be cleaned, since it will not include cutting edges that can cause damage to the surface. herself.

In a last preferred embodiment, the concavity of the main body 1 is between 45 ° and 60 ° of opening, so that a compact configuration of the textile elements is achieved, significantly improving the cleaning and liquid absorption operation of the surfaces. traveled with the head object of the present invention.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, Within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other forms of implementation that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified. .
