FR2823432A1 - Wiper material gripping handle has two leaf springs fixed on it and is enclosed by sleeve comprising cheek webs connected by fixing washers - Google Patents

Abstract

The gripping handle (1) has two leaf springs (4) fixed on it finishing in a right angle (5). There is a sleeve comprising two cheek webs (6) connected by two fixing washers (7) which enclose the handle and its leaf springs. By sliding on the handle axis the user sets the leaf springs to separate or re-clamp the handle end to allow the gripping of the wiper material or to release the soiled material.

Description

in the flexible tube (8, 38, 48, 58, 68, 78).

  The present invention relates to a grip handle for wiping materials.

  This device allows the use of rags or disposable wiping papers

to wipe the floors.

  There are several systems on the market. - The round fringe which is screwed to a handle. This fringe which can be either paper or cotton is not disposable and must be rinsed -The sewn fringe which is attached to the handle using pliers but is not

disposable

  In addition, its attachment is not quick and can only be used with

  fringes provided for this clip.

  -The trapeze broom using cotton covers to the size of his

  support is still not disposable and always requires rinsing.

  These three systems have the drawback of not meeting precise hygiene criteria such as limiting the spread of germs by using disposable materials. Example: the floor of the washrooms of passenger trains must be wiped using disposable wiping paper in order to be used for one and only

single toilet.

  The fringes mentioned above have the disadvantage of being adaptable to a single type

of sleeve.

  The absence of handle allowing the fixing of paper, imposes on the user

to wipe by hand.

  This therefore requires the user to kneel and not adopt a

comfortable working position.

  The handle for gripping wiping materials according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks by allowing the user to be able to quickly and without any complex manipulation fix a disposable wiping cloth or paper to a handle. In addition, the grip handle according to the invention has the advantage of adapting to

many wiping materials.

  -2 All this makes the wiping material handle economical without

  forget that it meets specific hygiene criteria.

  In addition, the grip handle according to the invention improves the working conditions of the users. In order to achieve these results, the invention provides a grip handle for wiping materials comprising a handle (1) which has its end finished in point (2) C: this point (2) is coated with an anti-scratch rubber in order to

preserve the soil.

  On the bottom of the handle, two fixed nuts (3) allow the maintenance of two

Spring blades (4).

  The ends of the spring blades are terminated by a right angle (5),

  also coated with anti-scratch rubber.

  These blades (4) which are once fixed are designed to deviate from themselves from the

handle (1).

  Two identical flanges (6), in molded plastic, fixed by washers (7), form a sliding sleeve (8) and thus trap the handle (1) and its blades (4). Two ground rails (9) in the flanges (6) prevent deformation of the

  blades (4) and their twist on the axis of the handle (1).

  The sleeve (8) is fnished by teeth (12) which optimize the grip of the

wiping materials.

  the grip handle according to the invention is thus mounted and functional.

  According to the invention, which is simple and robust, the sleeve wiping material is entirely removable: this allows replacement

  of all damaged or broken parts.

  The spring leaves (4) can easily be changed by the user.

  It suffices to unscrew the four screws of the sleeve (8) on the washers (7) to separate the flanges. It only remains to unscrew the two countersunk screws which hold the blades (4) to the handle (1). At this stage the handle grips

is fully disassemble.

  -3 The blades are closed by pressing the user's foot down

  on the upper surface (10) of the sleeve (8).

  This pressure of the foot slides the sleeve (8) downwards, thus tightening the

  leaf springs (4) to grip the wiping material.

  The blades are opened by the central surface (11) of the sleeve (8) which is

  slides by pulling it up.

  This action causes the opening of the two blades (4) thus releasing the material

soiled wiping.

  This operation requires no contact of the user's hand with the

soiled wiping materials.

  In summary the invention consists of a handle-gripper wiping materials

  with two main elements.

  -a handle (l) on which is fixed thanks to two fixed nuts (3) two leaf springs (4) ending at a right angle (5) - a sleeve (8) composed of two flanges (6) joined by the fixing of two washer (7), and thus trap the handle (1) and its two blades (4) and according to the action of the user by sliding on the axis of the handle (1), imposes on the spring blades (4) move away or tighten from the end of the handle (1) allowing to grab clean wiping material or the

  release of soiled wiping materials.
