Description

DESCRIPTION

Support platform for mopping buckets

field of invention

The present invention relates to a support platform for mopping buckets, which allows the mopping bucket to be transported comfortably and, when in use, is sufficiently stable to prevent accidental tipping over.

Background of the invention

In the field of household cleaning products, mopping buckets play a crucial role in facilitating the task of cleaning floors and surfaces. However, conventional designs have certain drawbacks, especially in terms of transportation and stability during use.

Historically, mopping buckets have been designed without wheels, which significantly limits their portability. This lack of mobility makes it difficult for the user to move the cube from one place to another, especially in large spaces or in situations where it is necessary to carry the cube to different areas of the house or workplace.

Additionally, the incorporation of wheels in some designs to improve mobility has proven to be a suboptimal solution. The inclusion of wheels presents the risk of tipping over during use, which can result in water and detergent spills, increasing the risk of accidents and damage to the surrounding environment.

Description of the invention

Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide a support platform for mopping buckets that simultaneously addresses the problems of transportation and stability, providing a practical and efficient solution for users.

With the support platform for mopping buckets of the invention, the aforementioned drawbacks are solved, presenting other advantages that will be described below.

The mopping bucket support platform according to the present invention is described in claim 1, and the dependent claims include additional features that are optional.

In particular, the support platform for mopping buckets comprises wheels and at least one support foot, the wheels being movable between a transport position, in which the wheels protrude with respect to said support foot, and a use position. , in which said support foot protrudes with respect to said wheels.

In this way, in the transport position, the platform, with the mopping bucket on it, can move to the desired position, and in the use position, the at least one support foot blocks said movement and provides stability. necessary to use the bucket for washing, for example, to wring out a mop.

Advantageously, each wheel comprises a spring that pushes the wheel towards its transport position, so that when sufficient pressure is not applied to the platform, the wheels remain in the transport position by the action of the springs.

Preferably, each wheel is spherical in shape.

The support platform for mopping buckets according to the present invention may also comprise a plurality of guiding projections and a perimeter rim, for example inclined, to facilitate the attachment of a mopping bucket on the support platform.

Furthermore, the wheels can be housed inside the guiding projections.

Description of a preferred embodiment

The present invention relates to a support platform (1) designed for mopping buckets, with the aim of overcoming the drawbacks associated with the lack of portability and stability during use. This support platform (1) can be foamed, totally or partially.

As shown in the figures, the support platform (1) comprises wheels (2), preferably spherical, and at least one support foot (3). According to the illustrated embodiment, the support platform (1) comprises four wheels (2), although it could comprise any suitable number of wheels, for example, three or more wheels.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the wheels (2) are movable between a transport position and a use position. In the transport position, the wheels (2) protrude with respect to said at least one support foot (3), allowing easy movement of the mopping bucket. However, in the position of use, the support foot (3) protrudes from the wheels (2), providing stability during the scrubbing process.

Each wheel (2) includes a spring (4) that facilitates automatic return to the transport position, ensuring a smooth change between the two configurations.

Additionally, the platform can incorporate guiding projections (5) and an inclined perimeter rim (6) to facilitate the attachment of the scrubbing bucket, since the guiding projections (5) and the rim (6) are complementary to the bottom of the said cube.

In the embodiment shown, the wheels (2) are housed inside the guiding projections (5).

The operation is very simple, since as long as the springs (4) are not compressed, the bucket can be transported by moving it in any direction.

Once the springs (4) are compressed and at least one support foot (3) contacts the ground, the rotation and movement of the bucket is prevented, allowing torsional draining without the bucket itself tipping over.

Two alternative embodiments of the support platform according to the present invention are shown in Figures 4 and 5, the shapes of which are, respectively, circular and oval.

Although reference has been made to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is evident to a person skilled in the art that the described mopping bucket support platform is susceptible to numerous variations and modifications, and that all of the details mentioned can be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the attached claims.
