Definitions
- the invention concerns a scraper for the cleaning of floors, windows etc., comprising a scraper part and a holder produced from a plastic material, said holder comprising a base plate.
- scrapers comprise a scraper which is configured with a bent-over base plate, and in said base plate there is inserted a folded-together sponge of foam rubber which by friction thus fastens itself to the scraper head, which can also be further provided with a bead of some form or another around which the foam rubber sponge also grips.
- the holder part of the scraper is produced of a plastic material moulded in one piece, and where on the centre part of the holder there is placed a rail of the same plastic material and preferably moulded in one piece with the holder part, there is achieved an area to which the actual scraper part can adhere.
- This scraper part is made of a plastic material of the same type, whereby during the production this will give rise to a fusing together with the rail due to the friction welding which will take place between the identical plastic materials. The result of such a welding together is thus that no areas can arise which can serve as breeding grounds for collections of bacteria.
- the invention also concerns a method for the production of a scraper such as this is disclosed in claim 7 to 9.
- the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, where
- fig 1 shows a perspective view of the scraper comprising a holder and a rail, but not including the scraper part
- fig 2 shows the scraper in fig 1 seen from the one end
- fig 3 shows a scraper on which the scraper part has been welded
- fig 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in fig 3
- the scraper 1 comprises a holder 2 which is made of a plastic material, preferably polypropylene, and which comprises a flat base plate 5, and opposite this base plate a curved upper surface 12 on which a holder 9 for the shaft of the scraper 1 is mounted, preferably by the moulding of this in one piece with the rest of the scraper 1
- a rail 4 which extends out from the base plate, in that the centreline of said rail intersects the centreline of the base plate
- the rail follows the total length of the holder 2 and along its longitudinal axis Seen in cross-section, the rail 4 can be compared with an equal-sided trapezoid with slightly converging walls, said converging walls lying at 10-20°, preferably 8-12°, and which end in a concluding edge 7 which is preferably plane and parallel with the plane surface of the base plate Opposite the concluding edge 7, the rail is in connection with the holder 2
- This connec- tion can possibly consist of gluing, but will typically be moulding in one piece together with the holder itself.
- the rail is made of the same plastic material as the holder.
- the rail and the holder have plane concluding areas 13 at each end.
- Projections 8 extend from the walls of the rail, said projections being evenly distributed over the surface of each wall.
- the projections are cylindrical in shape with a height of 1 -3 mm, and preferably 1 ⁇ -1 mm, and with a diameter of 4-8 mm. There will typically be five to ten projections distributed along each wall.
- the centre axes of the projections are substantially at right-angles to the walls. The object of these projections is to ensure that the holder with rail does not deflect during the moulding-on and welding of the actual scraper part 3, which will be dealt with in the following.
- the further object of the projections is to provide a greater surface area to which the scraper part can adhere.
- Fig. 2 shows the scraper without the scraper part and seen from the end of the scraper shown in fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 shows a scraper 1 to which the scraper part 3 has been welded
- fig. 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in fig. 3 transversely through the scraper.
- the scraper part is congruent with the rail 4, but where it continues past the concluding edge of the rail 4 it forms a flange 11 which has a certain flexibility and thus provides the scraper effect.
- the area of adherence between rail and scraper part ensures that the scraper part does not fall off, and that a secure connection is effected between the two elements.
- the scraper part is made of a thermoplastic material based on the same plastic material as the holder and the rail, typically a thermoplastic polypropylene material.
- the thickness of the thermoplastic material which is in abutment against the wall is typically 1 / -1 mm, and corresponding to the height of the projections 8.
- the scraper part 3 surrounds the walls 4 of the rail, the concluding edge 7 and edge surfaces 13.
- the rail will end with a projecting edge of approx. A ⁇ mm in the area up against the base plate 5 in order for the thermoplastic material to fit tightly, and so that an edge is not formed for the collection of dirt.
- the thermoplastic material can end right up against the base surface.
- the plastic material of which the holder and the rail are made can with advantage be mixed with glass fibre, and in this way increase the stiffness of this part of the scraper 1.
- the connection of the scraper part 3 to the holder 2 and the rail 4 is effected by a friction welding, where this fric- tion welding takes place between the inner surfaces of the scraper part 3 against the walls of the rail 4 and the concluding edge 7 and surfaces 13 of the rail.
- the scraper part is also friction welded against the base surface. This welding together is made possible as a consequence of the materials being of the same type.
- the actual production is effected by the holder 2 and the rail 4, projections 8 and the holder for the shaft 9 being moulded in one mould and typically in polypropylene.
- this polypropylene will often be mixed with glass fibre in order to increase the stiffness of the product.
- the stiffness is important when the scraper part is mounted or moulded on, so that the risk of deflection of the product is minimised, also during further processing.
- a hardness of 28-32 shore is selected, preferably 30 shore, so that the scraper is also effective over an uneven surface.
- the product is placed in a new mould where a moulding-on of the actual scraper part 3 is effected.
- high pressure typically around 800 bar
- thermoplastic material based preferably on polypropylene is injected into the mould, and as a consequence of the projections 8, which are provided on the rail 4, it is ensured that this does not deflect under the high pressure and the subsequent influence of heat, in that the end surfaces 9 of the projections 8 lie up against the inner walls of the mould and thus maintain the position of the scraper.
- the material moulded on thus also surrounds the projections 8, with the exception of their end surfaces 9, which after the moulding-on of the scraper part stand exposed without any covering of thermoplastic material.
- the moulding-on takes place at a high speed, in that the assembly which takes place between the elements, i.e. the holder and rail on the one side and the scraper part on the other side, is effected by a friction welding.
- This friction welding is thus a function of the friction heat which occurs and not the mould temperatures which are used.
- the basic material used for both scraper part and rail is the same in order for the fusing together to be possible.
- the head itself i.e. holder with rail and holder for the shaft, is typically moulded at a temperature of around 190°, while the actual rubber, the thermoplastic material which is injected into the mould to produce the scraper 3, is injected at a temperature of around 220-230°.
- the difference in temperature is not essential in order for the fusing together to take place, in that as mentioned this fusing together takes place as a consequence of friction welding.
- the projections 8 are of such a size and such an extent that the position of the rail 4 is maintained in the mould during the injection of the thermoplastic material, which is ensured by the end surfaces of these projections 8 lying up against the inner surfaces of the mould.
- the dimension of the rail measured from the base plate and at right-angles out from this to the concluding edge 7, is about 15-20 mm, while the breadth of the concluding edge 7 itself is typically 6-8, and the breadth of the area of the rail 4 adjoining the base surface lies at 12-14.
- the breadth of the base plate is typically 35-45 mm.
- Materials suitable for the moulding of a scraper according to the invention are typically of the EPDM type.
