Description

! 71661 Adjustable washer squeezer

The present invention relates to a liquid squeezing carriage comprising a wheeled stand and two vertical columns, the upper parts of which form a handle for pushing the carriage on a working plane. The posts support a carriage which is partly provided with a horizontal protruding shelf for placing a bucket or the like and partly with a latch by which the carriage can be locked to several different heights by the posts.

Devices of the same quality as those described above are already known. In them, the pressing unit and the associated bucket are placed in the immediate vicinity of the floor. The use of such compression units causes the user, on the one hand, an uncomfortable working position and, on the other hand, a heavy lifting of the bucket from the floor level to a higher level for emptying it. This can cause occupational back injuries, for example.

The object of the invention is to provide a device in which said work steps have been moved to a level suitable for the user's length. In addition, it becomes easier to empty the water bucket involved in the work. It does not need to be lifted down from the trolley, but can be lifted directly into the dump basin or toilet bowl. This is achieved by the invention as defined in the claims below.

An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical side view of a compression carriage according to the invention, Figure 2 is a vertical front view of the carriage and Figures 3 and 4 show the carriage latch on a larger scale in both side view and section.

The carriage consists of a base 10 to which four swivel castors are attached. The frame 10 is supported by two vertical, parallel posts 12, each of which forms a handle 13. A movable carriage 14 is placed along the posts. The carriage consists of two U-shaped profiles 15, each surrounding the other post 12. The profiles are connected to each other by a tie rod 16. at the bottom is a lattice shelf 17 extending horizontally from the profiles 15. Each profile has a pair of in-line lugs 18 with holes 19 through which the rod 20 passes. The rod 20 is provided at its other end with a rib 21 and a thickening 22 between each pair of lugs. , which can be made to engage a corresponding recess 23 in each post. When the rod 20 is twisted by the rib 21, the thickening 22 detaches from the recess 23, allowing the carriage to be raised or lowered relative to the carriage base and then locked in position by twisting the lever 21 back.

The squeezing unit for squeezing water from the washer can be attached to the upper tie iron 16, whereby the water squeezed from the washer flows into a bucket or the like placed on the truss shelf 17. Any other cleaning supplies can be stored in a removable basket in the trolley.
