Definitions
- the invention relates to a mopping device according to the preamble of claim 1 with the help of which surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth.
- a mopping device which has a bow-like frame through which a damp mop made of fabric can be stretched.
- the mop of the mopping device is moistened by the user, so that the surface to be cleaned can then be wiped with the mopping device.
- the wet mop made of fabric is naturally subject to a certain amount of wear when wiping, which leads to the wiping performance of the wet mop deteriorating and the wet mop having to be replaced sooner or later.
- the object of the invention is to provide a wiping device for wet mops with which a good wiping performance can be achieved over a long service life of the wet mops.
- the wiping device according to the application has a resilient element which presses at least part of the damp mop down. As a result, the wet mop with a comparatively large area lies on the one to be cleaned
- the wet mop Due to the distribution of the contact pressure in the wiping device according to the application, the wet mop can therefore be used with a good wiping performance over a relatively long operating time.
- a particularly advantageous design results if the damp mop is pressed down as far as possible in the entire inner region of the frame by the resilient element.
- a flat element is suitable for this, which can be permeable to water in order to ensure a good exchange of the washing water absorbed by the damp mop.
- This flat element can itself be designed as a resilient element in that it is made of a resilient material and is pretensioned in such a way that the damp mop is pressed down.
- this spring force can also be generated by a separate resilient element, which presses the flat element downwards.
- the flat element can be connected to the frame via the resilient element so that the flat element remains movable within certain limits, which has the advantage that the damp mop adapts better to uneven floors.
- the resilient element can also be arranged between the flat element and a holding part which can be fastened to the frame.
- the resilient element can be loosely inserted between the holding part and the flat element or attached to one of the components or both.
- the flat element and the holding part are connected to one another via resilient elements, this unit being provided with projections by means of which the unit can be snapped into the frame from above. To release the unit, it can be easily pushed out of the frame from below.
- a second frame encloses the first frame and, in order for the construction to be rigid, makes contact at several points.
- This contact point can be welded, for example.
- the outer frame In the construction with the widened ends, the outer frame has a conically widening shape towards the ends, so that the cleaning tube is increasingly tense.
- the floor contact area is considerably widened, i.e. no longer limited to one frame, which significantly improves the wiping effect. It has been found that practically only one hundred percent wiping effect occurs under the metallic frame parts. Nevertheless, since the holder or the frame is not solid, it is still light and therefore easy for the operating personnel to handle.
- Figure 2 shows the frame of the embodiment in cross section.
- the wiper device according to FIG. 1 has a central fastening element 1, to which the two-part frame 3 for the damp mop and the handle receptacle 7 for the work handle 6 is fastened.
- the left part 3 of the frame 3.5 can be folded down to enable the damp mop to be pulled onto the bow-like frame 3.5 z.
- the wet mop has a closed lower surface on the underside and has pockets on both sides at the top into which the ends of the bow-like frame 3.5 are inserted in order to clamp the wet mop over the frame 3.5 .
- the frame 13 of the exemplary embodiment has a round cross section.
- a pressure device can be used from above, which exerts a certain pressure on the damp mop.
- the pressing device consists of a flat element 12 and a holding part 14 and a plate spring 18 arranged between them.
- the flat element 12 has projections 19 which partially encompass the round cross section of the frame 13.
- the holding part 14, which is arranged above the flat element 12, has recesses 20 in the area of the projections 19, which allow the holding part 14 to be pressed into the frame.
- the holding part 14 is not attached to the snap fasteners, not shown shown central fastening part of the wiper un held on both ends of the frame 13.
- the diaphragm spring 18 is fastened to the flat element 12 made of metal by means of spot welding in the exemplary embodiment.
- a certain degree of mobility of the flat element 12 is ensured by the recesses 20 of the holding part 14 in the region of the projections 19 of the flat element 12; s, the flat element 12 can stand out from the frame 13 on one side or on all sides in order to follow unevenness over which wiping is taking place.
- the flat elements 12 with the plate springs 18 attached to them are first inserted from above into the fields of the frame 13.
- the flat elements 12 are then secured by snapping the holding parts 14 into the fields of the frame 1 from above.
- the damp mop can, as usual, be slipped over the frame 13 or removed from it again. If the pressure device is to be dismantled, for example for cleaning the wiping device, it is simply pressed out of the frame 13 from below after the damp mop has been removed. If vo is pressed down against the flat element 12, it passes the pressure on the plate spring 18 to the holding part 1, which jumps out of its snap locks when a certain pressure force is exceeded, so that the parts can be removed afterwards.
- the spring can also be cast with a plate on the upper part of the clamping part or can be cast in one part, for example in plastic, injection-molded or glued or lying loosely in between.
- the mopping device can have a wider frame.
- the inner frame R ie the previous frame or holder
- the interposed locking device for example a spring V
- the second frame 50 which widens at 54, parallel to the longitudinal side of the inner frame R runs, rounded at the corners and swings approximately in the middle of the end face at 52 and is welded to the water settling point, for example at 52, with the inner frame.
- the outer frame at 56 or 62 widens slightly conically, runs parallel to the inner frame R, the corner is rounded and swings at the end face at 60 and is welded there.
- the alternative of Figure 5 has the subject of a continuous widening. Since the frame is opened with the locking device, the outer frame cannot go through, but largely goes through.
- the outer frame swings, which extends obliquely sic in the area of the opening at 66 against the holder end, runs parallel at 6, swings in at 68 and is welded to the inner frame, then rounded again at the ends as before and sth swings inwards in the middle of the end face and is welded to the inner frame at 70 mi and runs back symmetrically on the other side at 78 and is also symmetrically welded to the inner frame at 7, runs parallel to 6 at 76 and is welded to the inner frame at 74 .
- an outer frame surrounds the inner frame and leaves a distance from the inner frame.
- the wiping effect is better due to the double contact surface, the cloth is stretched better, the cleaning effect is excellent.
