Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foldable mop plate having a first plate wing that is articulatedly connected directly or indirectly to a second plate wing, the first and the second plate wing carrying at least one mopping cover, for example a sponge, that can be squeezed out by folding the two plate wings toward one another.
  • a mopping cover for example a sponge
  • EP 1 208 788 A1 discloses a wet mop for planar surfaces having two mopping plates connected with interposition of a double joint and pressable toward one another.
  • the wet mop comprises a swingable handle mounted on the double joint.
  • a foldable mop plate which is characterized in that the spacing of the plate wings in the region of the articulated connection is enlargeable upon folding of the two plate wings toward one another.
  • the foldable mop plate according to the present invention is embodied in such a way that during the operation of folding the plate wings toward one another, additional space is created in the region of the articulated connection, i.e.
  • the foldable mop plate according to the present invention has the enormous advantage that a substantially better drying result is achieved, thus enabling even liquid-sensitive floors such as, for example, parquet, to be cared for.
  • the first plate wing and/or the second plate wing are arranged displaceably relative to one another. Provision can be made for this purpose, for example, that the first plate wing and/or the second plate wing, or parts of the first plate wing or parts of the second plate wing, are respectively arranged displaceably in a linear guide.
  • the plate wings are pushable apart from one another in the region of the articulated connection, at least upon folding of the two plate wings toward one another.
  • the foldable mop plate can be embodied in such a way that the mopping cover pushes the plate wings apart from one another—in particular as a result of the material buildup occurring upon creasing together—in the region of the articulated connection upon folding of the two plate wings toward one another.
  • the first plate wing is arranged rotatably and/or swingably about a first pivot, the first pivot being arranged displaceably relative to the second plate wing. Provision can be made, in particular, that the second plate wing is rotatable and/or swingable about a second pivot different from the first pivot.
  • At least the first pivot is arranged displaceably relative to the second pivot. Provision can be made, for example, that both the first pivot and the second pivot are arranged displaceably, for example relative to a common retaining element. Preferably the first and/or the second pivot are arranged displaceably perpendicularly to their lengthwise extension.
  • a spring apparatus is provided. Provision can further be made, advantageously, that the first plate wing and/or the second plate wing and/or the first pivot and/or the second pivot are displaceable against a spring force of the spring apparatus.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that in the mopping position in which the first plate wing is arranged in one plane with the second plate wing, the spring apparatus pulls the plate wings or the pivots toward one another and thus ensures, after the squeezing-out operation, the position of the plate wings with respect to one another, or of the plate wings with respect to a retaining element, that is necessary for mopping.
  • the spring apparatus or a further spring apparatus pushes and/or pulls the first and the second plate wing into a position folded apart from one another (mopping position). Provision can be made here that the first plate wing and the second plate wing are foldable toward one another against the spring force of the spring apparatus or of the further spring apparatus.
  • first plate wing and the second plate wing are each arranged rotatably and/or swingably on a common retaining element.
  • This can be implemented, for example, by the fact that the first pivot and the second pivot are arranged on the common retaining element.
  • a linear guide in particular in [sic] an oblong-hole guide, is preferably provided.
  • the linear guide can be provided, for example, on the common retaining element.
  • the first pivot is guided in a linear guide, in particular in an oblong hole.
  • both the first pivot and the second pivot are each guided in a linear guide.
  • the foldable mop plate is configured in such a way that the first plate wing and the second plate wing, while squeezing out the mopping cover, are foldable toward one another beyond a parallel position. This embodiment enables a particularly good drying result.
  • the foldable mop plate according to the present invention can be used on mopping devices of all kinds, for example floor mopping devices, window mopping devices, motor vehicle mopping devices, or furniture mopping devices, to name only a few examples.
  • the mopping device has a squeezing fork for folding the first and the second plate wing toward one another.
  • the spacing of the fork tines of the squeezing fork with respect to one another becomes smaller toward the ends of the fork tines. This embodiment allows the first plate wing and the second plate wing to be foldable toward one another beyond a parallel position.
  • the squeezing fork is displaceable over the plate wings, preferably in guided fashion, for example guided on a handle.
  • the handle is connected to the mop plate in articulated fashion, for example in the fashion of a gimbal or a universal joint.
  • a squeezing fork provision can also be made, for example, to use for folding the first and second plate wings toward one another a preferably funnel-shaped or V-shaped squeezing sieve [?into] which the foldable mop plate is introduced.
  • FIG. 1 shows a mop having a foldable mop plate in the mopping position (folded apart), according to the existing art
  • FIG. 2 shows a mop having a foldable mop plate according to the existing art, during squeezing-out;
  • FIG. 3 shows a foldable mop plate according to the present invention in the mopping position (folded apart);
  • FIG. 4 shows the foldable mop plate according to the present invention during squeezing-out using a squeezing fork
  • FIG. 5 shows the foldable mop plate according to the present invention in the final position of the squeezing-out operation.
  • FIG. 1 shows a foldable mop plate 1 according to the existing art on which is mounted a handle 3 , in the mopping position (folded apart).
  • a first plate wing 5 is arranged with rotation pivot 7 articulatedly on a retaining element 9 .
  • a second plate wing 13 is also arranged on retaining element 9 with second pivot 11 .
  • First plate wing 5 and second plate wing 13 together carry a mopping cover 15 that is embodied as a sponge. After a first mopping operation, the mopping cover together with the foldable mop plate is swung out in a liquid-filled bucket, and must then be dried.
  • FIG. 2 shows the mop according to the existing art being squeezed out.
  • First plate wing 5 and second plate wing 13 are swung toward one another with the aid of a squeezing fork 17 that is slid over the foldable mop plate.
  • the material of the mopping cover that is creased there builds up and continuously brakes the squeezing-out motion of the plate wings and of the squeezing fork.
  • the ultimate consequence of this is that the parts of the mopping cover that are arranged at the free ends of the first and second plate wings can be squeezed only insufficiently or not at all.
  • FIG. 3 shows a foldable mop plate 19 according to the present invention in the mopping position (folded apart).
  • the foldable mop plate according to the present invention comprises a first plate wing 5 and a second plate wing 13 . Both first plate wing 5 and second plate wing 13 are mounted in articulated fashion on a common retaining element 9 .
  • the articulated connection between first plate wing 5 and common retaining element 9 is implemented with the aid of a first pivot 7 that is guided in a first oblong-hole guide 21 .
  • the articulated connection between second plate wing 13 and common retaining element 9 is implemented with the aid of a second pivot 11 that is guided in a second oblong-hole guide 23 .
  • first plate wing and second wing are arranged displaceably relative to one another.
  • a spring element 25 embodied as a spiral spring 27 is provided in order to hold the plate wings, with the aid of spring force, in the mopping position and to transfer the plate wings, after completion of the squeezing-out operation, back into the mopping position.
  • the spiral spring is embodied as a tension spring and is mounted, with the aid of retaining studs 29 , with one end on each of the plate wings.
  • FIG. 4 shows foldable mop plate 19 according to the present invention during the squeezing-out operation with the aid of squeezing fork 31 .
  • first pivot 7 and second pivot 11 respectively migrate, in their oblong-hole guides 21 , 23 in common retaining element 9 , outward onto the squeezing-fork tines.
  • the spacing of the plate wings in the region of the articulated connection is thereby increased, so that a material buildup of mopping cover 15 does not occur.
  • squeezing fork 31 can easily be slid over plate wings 5 , 13 , not only to the point of a V-shape but in fact to a parallel position of the plate wings and beyond, as shown in FIG. 5 (spiral spring 27 is indicated in FIG. 4 simply by a line).
  • FIG. 5 shows the foldable mop plate according to the present invention in the final position of the squeezing-out operation.
  • first pivot 7 and second pivot 11 in their respective oblong-hole guides 21 , 23 are pushed by the creased mopping cover all the way out against the force of spiral spring 27 .
  • squeezing fork 31 is embodied in such a way that the spacing of the fork tines becomes smaller toward the ends of the fork tines, thus enabling plate wings 5 , 13 to be folded together beyond the parallel position. It is clearly apparent that the foldable mop plate according to the present invention allows even those parts of the mopping cover that are at the free ends of the plate wings to be adequately squeezed out.
  • the present invention relates to a foldable mop plate having a first plate wing that is articulatedly connected directly or indirectly to a second plate wing, the first and the second plate wing carrying at least one mopping cover, for example a sponge, that can be squeezed out by folding the two plate wings toward one another.
