Definitions

  • Cleansing assembly comprising a grip and one or more cleansing elements
  • the present invention relates firstly to a cleansing assembly at least comprising one or more cleansing elements and a grip, which grip comprises one or more attachment openings for attachment of a cleansing element through frictional interaction of the cleansing element with the one or more attachment openings .
  • a cleansing assembly of this nature is known in the prior art and is described, for example, in EP-A-0 568 150.
  • the abovementioned European Patent Application discloses a cleansing device which comprises a grip to which a support plate with an opening is attached.
  • a sheet of water-dispersible cleansing material can be attached to the support plate as a result of the support plate, with the sheet of cleansing material on it, being pressed against a press-on projection, with the result that a section of the cleansing material is pressed into the opening.
  • the pad of cleansing material can be removed by actuation of an ejector member which is present in the grip.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the abovementioned problems, and to this end it is characterized in that the cleansing element consists of sheet material which, in the dry state, is substantially rigid and dimensionally stable, and comprises prefabricated, coupling components which, after the cleansing element has been attached to the grip, project into one or more attachment openings.
  • the cleansing assembly is particularly suitable for use when cleaning lavatory bowls, although it is not limited to this application. It is also suitable for cleaning urinals, shower trays, washbasins, etc.
  • a cleansing element can be attached to the grip by placing the cleansing element against the grip and pressing the one or more coupling components of the cleansing element into the attachment openings in the grip .
  • the coupling components of the cleansing elements are not particularly limited, although they preferably consist of the same sheet material as the cleansing element and are integral with the cleansing element. This enables cleansing elements with coupling components according to the invention to be produced easily and inexpensively.
  • the cleansing assembly according to the invention comprises release means for releasing the cleansing element from the grip.
  • Release means of this nature may, for example, be designed in the form of a push rod in the grip, optionally provided with suitably designed ejector components.
  • the coupling components comprise one or more areas in the cleansing element which are at least partially delimited by incisions and/or lines of weakening, which areas can be bent out of the plane of the cleansing element when the cleansing element is attached to the grip.
  • these areas which are delimited by incisions or lines of weakening are substantially U-shaped, V-shaped or T-shaped. These areas thus comprise one or more lips in the cleansing element which can easily be bent over.
  • At least one area comprises a section whose width is greater than the internal dimension of the attachment opening which it is intended to be coupled to. After the cleansing element has been fitted, that section of the area which is wider than the attachment opening with which it interacts projects out of the opening and over the material of the grip, thus completely eliminating the possibility of the cleansing element falling out of the grip.
  • the coupling components comprise one or more raised projections.
  • these projections are moved frictionally into the attachment openings which they are intended to be coupled with.
  • the raised projections are not subjected to any particular limitation and may, for example, be rod-shaped or spherical, but are preferably substantially conical. This ensures that the projections are easy to arrange in the attachment openings while still allowing sufficient frictional force to be developed to ensure that the cleansing element is securely attached to the grip.
  • the raised projections may also be so-called protuberances.
  • a protuberance is understood to mean either a solid or a hollow body. Protuberances or projections of this nature may be of any desired form, but are preferably best described as "peaked” . Consideration may also be given to smooth conical, frustoconical, triangular or round shapes.
  • the attachment openings may be of the same shape as the raised projections, but other combinations are also possible, for example round attachment openings with square or star-shaped raised projections or star-shaped attachment openings with conical raised projections. A few examples of such combinations of attachment openings and raised projections are further illustrated and explained in more detail below in the drawing and the description of the figures.
  • the projections may be formed in a variety of ways in or on the cleansing element.
  • the cleansing element and the projections may be produced separately, in order subsequently to be joined together by means of pressure or adhesive bonding.
  • the projections are produced integrally with the cleansing element.
  • the cleansing elements with the one or more projections can thus be produced, for example, in a simple manner by pressing a mass of material which is to be moulded or a substantially flat sheet into a mould.
  • the projections may be entirely or partly solid or may also be hollow.
  • one coupling means is sufficient for attaching a cleansing element to the grip.
  • This provides more secure attachment, in particular between the edge of the cleansing element and the edge of the grip in the vicinity of the attachment openings.
  • the coupling means are present in the vicinity of the edge of the cleansing element.
  • the invention furthermore provides a holder comprising a cleansing assembly according to the invention, which holder comprises at least two compartments, a first compartment for cleansing elements and a second compartment for a grip. Since the cleansing elements are rigid and dimensionally stable, it is easy for a stack of cleansing elements to be introduced into the first compartment, and when used, one of these cleansing elements can be removed from this compartment in order to be attached to the grip.
  • a cleansing element with coupling components which comprise areas which are at least partially delimited by incisions and/or lines of weakening can be arranged on a grip as a result of the cleansing element being placed against the grip and the coupling components of the cleansing element being bent into the attachment openings in the grip.
  • This bending may take place in a variety of ways, for example by hand or using a separate press-on component.
  • one or more press-on components which are intended to interact with the one or more coupling components of a cleansing element, are located on the base of the second compartment of the holder.
  • a cleansing element on the grip as a result of the cleansing element being moved into the second compartment of the holder, after which it falls to the base.
  • the grip with the cleansing element then being pressed against the one or more press-on projections the areas in question will bend into the attachment openings in the grip, thus bringing about the attachment .
  • the said press-on projections are not absolutely necessary, since simply pressing the grip and cleansing element together onto the base of the second compartment could be sufficient to press the projections into the attachment openings .
  • the cleansing elements may be attached manually one by one, it is preferable for the holder to comprise means for moving a cleansing element out of the first compartment into the second compartment. This further improves hygiene.
  • the invention provides a holder in which the compartments are substantially tubular and are arranged vertically next to one another, while they are also in communication with one another, via an opening, in the vicinity of the base, and the first compartment comprises ejector means for ejecting a cleansing element out of the first compartment into the second compartment. This ensures that a compact design is combined with actuation which is as hygienic as possible.
  • the ejector means for ejecting a cleansing element from the first compartment into the second compartment may be designed in many ways. They may be means which can be actuated by hand or by foot, such as for example a slide or a revolving disc.
  • the invention also provides a grip which is obviously intended for a cleansing assembly according to the invention.
  • the said grip preferably comprises additional attachment means which are able to interact with one or more coupling components of a cleansing element, which have been moved into the attachment openings of the grip. This allows the cleansing element to be even more reliably attached to the grip. This embodiment will be explained in more detail below in the description of the figures.
  • the grip preferably comprises a pivotable head which comprises the attachment openings .
  • the presence of a pivotable head makes the grip easier to handle while it is being used to clean a lavatory bowl, for example.
  • the pivotable head ensures a better cleaning action.
  • the invention furthermore provides a cleansing element which is obviously intended for a cleansing assembly according to the invention.
  • the said cleansing element preferably consists of a water-dispersible sheet material.
  • the cleansing element can be flushed or rinsed away in the lavatory, the shower tray, etc.
  • Materials of this nature are known in the prior art and may be appropriately selected by the person skilled in the art.
  • the water-dispersible material is a biodegradable material.
  • the material can be dissolved completely. Examples of such material are paper, papier-mache, nonwoven material, or some other, for example cellulose-based, material.
  • the cleansing element locally comprises areas of increased stiffness. This makes the cleansing element easier to handle. Areas of increased stiffness may, for example, be created by applying a stronger material or a material which is more difficult to dissolve in water. Preferably, however, increased stiffness is provided by local compression of the material of the cleansing element.
  • a fold line for the coupling means may be provided by reducing the thickness of the cleansing element at the location of the intended bending direction, for example as a result of material being compressed or omitted. This makes the coupling means function even more reliably.
  • the surface of the cleansing element prefferably be provided with a certain surface structure in order to increase its roughness. This is achieved, for example, by stamping in a structure or pattern, for example ribs, indentations, teeth or zigzag lines. This structure intensifies the cleaning action.
  • the cleansing element advantageously comprises a cleansing surface of slightly convex shape. With a convex shape it is possible in particular for concave surfaces to be cleaned very successfully.
