Description

The invention relates to cleaning textiles including a cleaning side with a cleaning surface that is bounded by an edge on the outside side.

Such cleaning textiles are generally known and, for example, can be formed as a cleaning cover for a flat mop.

The cleaning surface of previously known cleaning textiles has, in general, i.e. also looking across the direction of washing the textile for cleaning, a uniform pile density.

Using cleaning textiles, which has a cleaning surface with a uniform, in general, pile density, a uniform wiping result is achieved on the surface being cleaned only when the pressing force with which the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile is pressed against the surface being cleaned is evenly distributed over the cleaning surface surface textile for cleaning.

In most cases this does not happen.

As soon as the force of pressing on the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile is unevenly distributed over the cleaning surface, however, the density of the pile of textile for cleaning is the same in all areas, there is a relatively stronger cleaning by those areas of the cleaning surface where the pressing force is relatively high, and relatively weaker cleaning by areas of the cleaning surface on which the pressure is relatively small.

In addition, the disadvantage is that the cleaning surface of such cleaning textiles due to different strong absorption of contaminants is itself unevenly contaminated and subject to uneven wear.

The objective of the invention is to improve the previously known type of textile for cleaning in such a way that when the middle pressing the cleaning surface on the surface to be cleaned in the direction of wiping, a uniform cleaning result is achieved. The dirt absorption also under these conditions, when viewed across the direction of wiping the cleaning textile, should be uniform, as well as the mechanical load acting on the cleaning surface due to wiping.

This problem is solved in accordance with the invention by the features of paragraph 1 of the claims.

Preferred embodiments are disclosed in the dependent clauses.

To solve this problem, cleaning textiles are provided that include a cleaning side with a cleaning surface that is bounded by the edge on the outer perimeter, and the cleaning surface, when viewed across the direction of wiping the cleaning textiles, has a lower pile density in the middle than the edge.

It is preferable that the textile for cleaning, when viewed across the direction of wiping the textile for cleaning, in the middle can be pressed against the surface to be cleaned with a greater pressure force than from the side of the edge, and the textile for cleaning, however, when viewed across the direction of wiping textile for cleaning, contributes to the even result of cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

If in the case of cleaning textiles we are talking, for example, about a cleaning cover for a flat mop, then the pressing force, if you look across the direction of wiping the textile for cleaning, in the middle of the flat mop is the largest. This should be explained by the fact that in this middle area, on the side of the cleaning textile facing away from the cleaning side, there is a handle of a flat mop, which, when used, guides the mop along the surface to be cleaned.

It turned out that in the axial lengthening of the handle, the pressure on the cleaning surface is greatest, in the edge region, when viewed across the direction of wiping the textile for cleaning, it is relatively less. Due to this uneven distribution of the pressing force on the cleaning surface, a uniform cleaning result is obtained only when the density of the pile of the cleaning surface is not constant over the entire cleaning surface, as in the prior art, but differs in such a way that when viewed across the wiping direction, it has a center lower pile density than from the edge. By using different densities of the pile of the cleaning surface, the different pressing forces acting on the cleaning surface are substantially aligned, so that despite the different pressing forces on the cleaning surface, the cleaning result is aligned. Therefore, across the direction of wiping the cleaning textiles, a uniform cleaning result in the wiping direction is achieved when wiping.

By means of various pile densities adjusted to different pressing forces, the mechanical effect on the cleaning surface is also leveled, so that cleaning textiles have permanently good consumer properties during long duration of use and at the end of their use, for the most part, they are uniformly soiled over the entire cleaning surface and / or used up.

According to one preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the cleaning surface has three cleaning zones located in the direction of wiping the textile for cleaning according to a functional-technical sequential scheme, the front in the direction of wiping, the first cleaning zone having a first cleaning pile with a first pile height and the first pile density, the middle, the second cleaning zone is the second cleaning pile with a second pile height and the second pile density and the back, the third cleaning zone is the third cleaning pile with t etey pile height and a third density of the pile, with the average in the direction of wiping, the second cleaning zone relative to the front in the direction of wiping, the first and rear third cleaning zone has a correspondingly relatively b of greater second height pile and respectively less than the second density of the pile, and each cleaning the zone, when viewed across the direction of rubbing, has a lower pile density in the middle than from the edge.

This kind of cleaning textile is especially preferred when it is used as a cleaning case for a flat mop.

For functioning, the following is performed:

Basically, the second cleaning zone removes contaminants from the surface being cleaned and then is absorbed in the second cleaning zone. The absorption of contaminants in the second cleaning zone is simplified by the fact that the second pile height is greater than the first and third pile height, and additionally, the second pile density is less than the first and third pile density.

Due to the difference in the height of the contamination, wiping in the direction of wiping is almost unimpeded to be wiped, for example, with the front first cleaning zone until they are separated by the second cleaning zone from the surface to be cleaned and absorbed in the second cleaning zone.

If wiping is continued further in the direction of wiping, the rear third cleaning zone ensures that even very small contaminants remaining from the second cleaning zone are captured from the surface to be cleaned, and thus a cleaning result without streaks is achieved.

According to one preferred embodiment, the first and third cleaning pile may include microfibres, respectively. Microfibers are particularly well suited to retain even the smallest contaminants and thereby remove from the surface to be cleaned without streaks.

The second cleaning pile may optionally include microfibers and abrasive fibers. For cleaning heavily soiled surfaces, such a second cleaning pile may be preferred. Stronger impurities are thus better separated from the surface being cleaned and then absorbed in a relatively higher cleaning pile and a relatively lower density of the pile of the second cleaning zone.

Each pile density, when viewed across the direction of wiping, can be continuously increased from the corresponding middle of each cleaning zone to the corresponding edge. Moreover, it is preferable that even then the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile has a uniform cleaning efficiency across the direction of the cleaning textile, when the cleaning user, when viewed across the cleaning direction, applies the greatest pressure on the cleaning surface in the middle of the cleaning zones. Due to the density of the pile of the respective cleaning zones increasing in the direction of the respective edges, the pressing force constantly decreasing in the direction of the corresponding edges is substantially equalized, so that, despite the unevenly loaded cleaning surface, a uniform cleaning result is established.

Basically, it is also possible to stepwise increase the density of the pile when viewed across the direction of wiping, from the corresponding middle of each cleaning zone to the corresponding edge.

The ratio of the pile density in the middle to the pile density from the edge of each cleaning zone may be ≤0.8. This ratio, in particular, has proved to be preferable when cleaning textiles are used as a cleaning case on a flat mop. With this kind of ratio, the pile density on the side of the edge of each cleaning zone is commensurate in such a way that the cleaning efficiency of the edge areas substantially corresponds to the cleaning efficiency of the middle area of the cleaning textile, if the middle area is pressed firmly on the surface to be cleaned with a flat mop handle.

The front first and rear third cleaning zones can be formed identically. It is preferable that the cleaning surface is formed symmetrically to the second cleaning zone and therefore can be used in the opposite direction of wiping and at the same time has identical consumer properties. The handling of textile for cleaning due to this symmetry is simplified.

According to one preferred embodiment, it may be provided that the ratio of the second pile height to the first and / or third pile height is at least 1.2. Further, a ratio of ≤1.5 is preferred. On the one hand, the second pile height is large enough so that contaminants can bypass the first or third cleaning zone to be absorbed in the second cleaning zone. On the other hand, the second pile height at such ratios is not so high that the second cleaning pile during the rubbing is undesirably bent and, thus, negatively affects the cleaning result.

Only abrasive fibers in the second cleaning zone can have a relatively higher second pile height relative to the first and third pile heights. If, along with abrasive fibers, the second cleaning zone also includes microfibers, then microfibers in this case can have the same pile height as the first or third pile height. With this embodiment, an even more open structure of the second cleaning zone is obtained. It may be preferable to absorb and retain contaminants in the second cleaning zone.

All cleaning zones can have the same width when viewed in the direction of wiping. The cleaning surface is preferably formed substantially rectangular. The cleaning surface may have two longitudinal sides extending across the wiping direction and two transverse sides extending in the wiping direction, the longitudinal sides having a first extension that is greater than a second extension of the transverse sides.

The ratio of the first extent to the second extent may be ≥2. This kind of cleaning textile has good consumer properties for most applications and is easy to handle.

At least one fastening device for attaching the cleaning textiles to the flat mop support plate may be located on the outside of the cleaning textile facing away from the cleaning side. The fastening device may be formed by pockets and / or pads and / or clips.

If linings are used, the linings may include push buttons for mounting on a carrier plate.

Fasteners for attaching textiles for cleaning on supporting plates of flat mops are generally known. The cleaning textile can be fixed in such a way that the cleaning textile remains fixed only on one side of the carrier plate when washing and wringing out by unscrewing or remains fixed on both sides of the carrier plate and then, if in the case of a flat mop, for example, a mop with “Wings”, U-shaped hangs down from the folded “wings” of the carrier plate so that it can be washed in a bucket and then squeezed out by twisting in a squeeze-out device.

The push buttons for mounting on the carrier plate have paid off. With the help of push buttons, a textile joint for cleaning and a carrier plate is shared without destruction and long-lasting.

As indicated previously, the use of cleaning textiles as a cleaning case for a flat mop is particularly preferred. In particular, with this kind of use, the cleaning surface of the cleaning textile, when viewed across the direction of cleaning, is usually unevenly loaded, so that this uneven load is less equal when viewed across the direction of cleaning with a pile density in the middle of the cleaning fabric, to achieve a uniform cleaning result . Using this embodiment of the cleaning textile in accordance with the invention, the absorption of dirt by the cleaning surface is substantially constant, as well as the mechanical load on the cleaning surface when wiped, so that the entire cleaning surface, despite the uneven load from the pressing force, is uniformly good and does not have streaks cleaning efficiency.

An example of the execution of the inventive textile for cleaning is described in more detail below with the help of figures 1 and 2.

They show respectively in a schematic representation:

Figure 1 is a view of the inventive textile for cleaning from the bottom to the cleaning side,

Figure 2 a section along the line aa of the textile for cleaning according to figure 2.

1 and 2 show an example of a textile for cleaning, which is used as a cleaning cover 29 for a flat mop not shown here.

The cleaning textile includes a cleaning side 1 with a rectangular cleaning surface 2 formed, which is bounded by an edge 3 from the outer perimeter side.

The cleaning surface 2 has three cleaning zones 4, 5, 6, which are located lying one after the other in the direction 7 of the textile for cleaning when wiping.

Each of the cleaning zones 4, 5, 6 has a cleaning pile of 8, 11, 14 with a corresponding pile height of 9, 12, 15 and a corresponding pile density of 10, 13, 16.

In the exemplary embodiment presented here, the first 4 and third cleaning zone 6 are formed identically to each other and are substantially symmetrical to the second cleaning zone 5. The identical formation refers to both the shape and the material.

The first 8 and third cleaning pile 14 include microfibres, respectively. The second cleaning pile 11 includes, on the contrary, a mixture of microfibers and abrasive fibers.

The cleaning surface 2 has, when viewed across the direction 7 of wiping the textile for cleaning, in the middle a lower density 10, 13, 16 of the pile than from the side of the edges. This ensures that the cleaning efficiency of the textile for cleaning, when viewed across the direction 7 of cleaning textiles for cleaning, in each individual area of the cleaning surface 2 is identically good, if the pressing force, when viewed across the direction 7 of cleaning textiles for cleaning, in the middle is greater than to the edges. This occurs when, when looking across from the direction of wiping the textile for cleaning, in the middle of the carrier plate not shown, on which the cleaning cover for the flat mop is mounted, there is a handle on which the user presses axially in the direction of the surface to be cleaned. Thereby, the middle area of the cleaning surface is exposed to a greater pressure force than the edge area. To even out this usually undesirable effect, in particular to even out the cleaning result, as well as the consumption of cleaning textiles, a lower density of 10, 13, 16 pile is provided in the middle.

For the next, improved cleaning result, the various cleaning zones 4, 5, 6 additionally have different pile heights. The middle second cleaning zone 5 has a greater second pile height 12, than the cleaning zones 4, 6 adjacent to it on both sides in the wiping direction 7 and, in addition, also have a lower second pile density 13. Bytes of lshaya second pile height 12, together with the relatively open structure of the second cleaning zone 5 helps to ensure that contaminants on the cleaning surface is first passed the first 4 and third zone 6 clean, fall into the second, the average cleaning zone and there retained. Depending on the direction of wiping 7, the third 6 or first cleaning zone 4 is functionally-technically connected after the second cleaning zone 5 and ultimately helps to achieve a cleaned surface without streaks.

In the example presented here, the ratio of the second pile height 12 to the first 9 and / or third pile height 15 is 1.3.

Figure 1 shows a view of the textile for cleaning from the bottom to the cleaning side 1 with the cleaning surface 2. The cleaning surface 2 is formed rectangular and bounded around the perimeter by the edge 3.

To the transverse sides 22, 23, which are limited to the longitudinal sides 20, 21 across the direction of wiping 7, adjacent to the direction of wiping 7, fasteners 27, 28 for attaching the cleaning textiles to the carrier plate of the flat mop. The fastening devices 27, 28 are formed as resiliently elastic pads and have push buttons for fastening to the carrier plate. For mounting cleaning textiles on a carrier plate, the pads are folded around the transverse sides of the carrier plate and secured with push buttons, for example, on the outside of the carrier plate.

Figure 2 shows a section along the line aa of the exemplary embodiment according to figure 1.

The middle second cleaning zone 5 with a second cleaning pile 11 and a second pile height 12, as well as a second pile density 13, when viewed across the wiping direction 7, is formed substantially convexly and passes, when viewed across the cleaning direction 7, into the first 4 and third cleaning zone 6.

The second cleaning pile 11, due to the relatively larger second pile height 12 and lower density 13 of the pile, has a more open structure than cleaning zones 4 and 6, and is therefore particularly well suited to absorb and retain contaminants.

Section AA passes if viewed across the direction of wiping 7, in the middle through the textile for cleaning. The shown density of 13 pile in the area of this section is the smallest.

In the direction of the transverse edges, the second pile density, as well as the first pile density and the third pile density, respectively increases in order to be able to equalize the pressure reduced in these areas so that the cleaning result of the cleaning textile, when viewed across the wiping direction, is almost identical good with the described application.
