Definitions
- the invention relates to a multifunctional plate for surface cleaning.
- This plate serves as a support for example to a woven or nonwoven textile cover which is used to clean and rub the surfaces, and the plate is mounted at the end of a sleeve or of a handle, advantageously using a ball joint.
- This flexible textile piece must be fixed to this support in a removable manner to be easily replaced and wrung out and it must be held securely there.
- a solution which consists in making a cover formed of a rectangular base, the two short sides of which are folded back to form fixing pockets intended to cover the ends of the support, which support is produced in two half parts articulated around a axis to allow the introduction of the support into the textile pocket, or its extraction out of the pocket.
- Other systems for holding a textile on a support are provided by flexible pieces, for example of the towel-hook type, arranged above the plate, and the textile which is folded down on the four sides is thus maintained by wrapping its support.
- a support plate capable of receiving elastic covers, but for their positioning, the plate is usually of trapezoidal shape.
- the invention provides a new solution to these difficulties thanks to a universal plate, suitable for receiving all types of surface cleaner, their replacement and their attachment is also easier for the user.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a multifunction plate for surface cleaner which consists of a plate of generally rectangular shape equipped firstly with gripping and handling means which are interchangeable and secondly with a plurality means for fixing various types of textile pieces, said means being:
- the interchangeable gripping and handling means comprise, between the broom handle or the holding handle, and a central rod linked to the plate, a pivoting articulation on the rod which is equipped with two flexible blades to separate the handle or the handle from the plate.
- the clamping mechanism consists of a profiled blade cooperating with at least one central window and two lateral cells provided on the upper face of the plate, the blade being profiled in the shape of an arch, the ends of the side wings are placed in the cells and a system for clipping the blade in the central window is provided in the center of the blade.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 perspective views of the upper face and of the lower face respectively. of the multifunction plate
- Figure 3 a perspective view of a clamping blade.
- Figures 4 and 5 views respectively in cross section and from the front of a system for clipping a handle (left part) or a handle (right part).
- FIG. 5b a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the joint.
- FIG. 9 a schematic sectional view of a sponge support.
- FIG. 10a a sectional view of an alternative embodiment of a clamping clamping system.
- the plate shown in the figures is presented as a plate 1 of generally rectangular shape pierced in its center with a through opening 2. On either side of the latter, on the upper face 3 of the plate, there are two profiled heels 4 between which extends a rod 5 for hooking a handle not shown.
- the lower sole 6 (FIG. 2) of the plate is hollowed out with recesses 7 in line with the heels 4.
- two flat longitudinal parts frame the recesses and serve to receive hook-and-loop strips 8.
- the plate 1 is crossed at each end of an oval hole 16. Between the hole and the neighboring heel 4, the upper face 3 of the plate is hollowed out with a central window 9 and two lateral cells 10 which, in the case shown, have a rectangular profile.
- the window and the cells which thus equip the upper face of the plate, on either side of the heels 4, are used for positioning a tightening mechanism consisting of a blade 11 shown in FIG. 3.
- This blade advantageously made made of plastic is profiled in the shape of an arch, and its lateral wings 12 are provided at the ends on their underside, with bosses 13 intended to be housed in the cells 10.
- two elastic bars 14 develop ending in lugs 15. By pinching the bars, we can easily introduce them into the central window 9. Thanks to the pins 15, there is clipping of the clamping blade on the upper face of the plate 1. Due to the elasticity of the blade, the bosses of end 13 exert a certain pressure on the plate which makes it possible to easily maintain the flaps of a textile cover of any type, the rectangular plate thus making it possible to receive surface cleaners having any cutout.
- the handling of the clamping blade is extremely simple, each of which can also be mounted in any direction on either end of the plate.
- the central rod 5, between the two heels 4 allows rapid disassembly of a conventional ball joint for a broom handle, or even a simple manipulation handle when it is desired to use the plate without its handle.
- FIGs 4 and 5a precisely show a simple clipping system of a broom handle 17 (left part) or a holding handle 18 (right part), on said central rod 5.
- the clipping system uses, between the handle or the handle and the rod a hinge 19 pivotally mounted on the rod 5, which is equipped in its center with two flexible blades 20 capable of being brought together by pinching at the base 21 of the blades to separate the handle or the handle from the joint.
- the blades 20 carry lugs 22 which can slide in positioning guides 23 which are part of a support sleeve 24 of the broom handle 17 or of the handle 18.
- the pinching of the blades at their base 21 makes the pins 22 escape from the guides 23, which allows rapid interchangeability between the two holding devices.
- FIG. 5b is shown a variant of the hinge 19 whose outer edge is provided with small clipping lugs 35 for locking the handle or the handle in the storage position.
- a hole 36 is provided at the right of each lug, provided in the wall of the joint, which increases the flexibility of the latter and makes it easier to collect the snap on the lug.
- a threaded sleeve permanently snapped onto the joint, sleeve on which is screwed either the handle or the handle.
- One can also have a handle which forms the sleeve itself and which is snapped on, and which can receive the handle by screwing.
- the fixed central rod 5 is replaced by a profiled axis 29 movable longitudinally relative to the plate 1, between the two heels 4, the axis being returned by a spring 25.
- the axis is provided with flats 26 oriented vertically with respect to the upper face of the plate.
- a joint 27 visible in FIG. 7 is profiled at its lower part and provided with notches 28 spaced apart like the flats 26.
- the articulation 27, as in the previous case serves as a support for a broom handle or a holding handle.
- the multifunctionality of the plate applies not only to the fixing of the textile parts, but also to that of its gripping and handling means.
- the parts intended for cleaning proper attached to the multifunction plate, apart from the tightening system described above with reference to FIG. 3, one can also take advantage of the hook-and-loop strips 8 to fix directly to the plate a usual rectangular cleaning pad.
- the two oval holes 16 can receive a conventional press button for a cover fitted with corresponding fixing clips.
- the oval profile of the holes allows easier insertion of the snap button, and the long axis of the oval hole is advantageously oriented in the longitudinal direction of the plate.
- the holes could also have a square, hexagonal shape or any shape that is not perfectly circular, as is a press stud.
- the flexibility of the structure thus obtained also makes the product life more reliable.
- the dimension of the hole in the longitudinal axis of the plate is greater than the diameter of the metal pressure, the perpendicular dimension being less than this same diameter.
- the walls are deformed until the dimension of the hole is equal to the diameter of the pressure, then these walls tighten while exerting a stress on the pressure to secure the maintenance of the textile cover during use.
- FIGs 10a and 11 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the clamping blade 11 shown in Figure 3.
- the blade 11 is hollowed out with a central notch 31 framed by two flexible longitudinal edges 32.
- Two rigid levers 33 develop in the notch from the ends of the blade, near the bosses 13.
- two small elastic bars 14 which are intended to penetrate into two neighboring central windows 9 (instead of the single window shown in FIG. 1) of the plate 1, for locking the clamping blade.
- the ribs 34 are supported on the upper face 3 of the plate.
- the tightening mechanism is provided by two rigid L-shaped levers 33 mounted on blades 11.
- the hollow of the lever is in abutment a bridge 37 secured to the plate.
- the end boss 13 frees up the space under the trigger guard, allowing the textile to be put in place.
- the boss 13 of the lever 33 clamps the fabric against the trigger guard.
- the clamping blade 11 could be produced as a "blistering" blade which can be actuated quickly in its center in order to release the bosses from their cells.
