Abstract

The invention relates to a mop cover (2) comprising two main sides and a looped fabric of threads (12, 13) which produce loops and fixing threads (14, 16) on each of the main sides (7, 8). The loop-producing threads for the loops of the first and second main sides (7, 8) are fixed by means of the same fixing threads (14, 16).

Description

mop

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a mop cover that is used in connection with a mop holder for cleaning floor surfaces.

A mop holder usually includes a mop holder and at least one mop cover. The mop cover is attached to the holder by means of a fastening device, so that it is firmly connected to the holder for the wiping process and any subsequent squeezing process

The fastening system should enable a quick attachment and removal to the mop holder so that the mop cover, if it is to be removed from the mop holder for larger cleaning processes, can be removed quickly and a new or a cleaned mop cover again without great expenditure of time can be mounted on the holder. It is also desirable that a mop cover can be attached to the holder without the help of the hands if possible, since this protects the cleaning worker from coming into contact with cleaning chemicals on the hands when the mop cover is pulled on or removed from the holder. rt H PJ tr CD tr CO tu ad CD H- CD h- 'rt to 3 CQ 3? r CQ tu

DE 44 23 280 A1 also describes a mop system that uses a Velcro fastener as a fastening device between the mop cover and the holder. For this purpose, a fleece carrier section is provided on the top of the mop cover, which has small loops. The loop density and size is selected so that the fleece carrier section adheres to a bristle piece of scrubber floor. The loop carrier section is sewn onto the cleaning section

Presentation of the invention

The invention has for its object to provide a mop cover that enables reliable cleaning of the floor and is inexpensive to manufacture.

This object is achieved by a mop cover with the features of claim 1.

The invention is based on the idea of producing a mop cover with double-sided sling fabric in such a way that the two-sided loops are woven in when the textiles are being produced. In particular, this means that, similar to towels, a fabric is produced that has loops on both main surfaces without having to join two individual pieces of fabric that have loops on one side in an additional work step. This completely eliminates the step of joining two fabrics with one-sided loop formation. By dispensing with one step of the manufacturing process, the mop cover according to the invention can be manufactured inexpensively.

Advantageous embodiments are characterized by the remaining claims.

Loop form are kept, but at the same time contribute to the formation of the tissue. There is therefore no need for a separate carrier fabric, but the loop-producing threads (pile threads) themselves contribute to the formation of the fabric.

Two pile threads are advantageously present, one of which forms the loops on the first main side and the other the loops on the second main side. As a result, different textile fibers can be used for the loops on the first main side and the loops on the second main side. In addition, a fabric can be produced that has sufficient strength and loop density.

Brief description of the drawings

The invention is described below purely by way of example with reference to the attached figures, in which:

Figure 1 shows a plan view of a mop cover in a state clamped on a holder;

Figure 2 shows a side view of the mop cover when clamped on the holder;

Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the fabric, showing only one pile thread; and

Figure 4 shows a schematic sectional view of the fabric, with both pile threads are shown.

Ways of Carrying Out the Invention

Figures 1 and 2 show a mop cover 2 m in a state clamped on a mop holder. The mop holder comprises a support plate 6, a joint device 4 and a handle 5. As can be seen from FIG. 2, in the arrangement 1 shown, the mop cover 2 is placed in a U shape around the mop holder and in particular the mop holder plate 6. As a result, two cleaning surfaces are formed which, depending on the position of the joint 4, can be used to clean a floor surface. This means that the mop cover can subsequently be used on both cleaning surfaces before the mop cover itself needs to be cleaned. Alternatively, it is of course conceivable that the mop cover is only stretched on one of the plate rarely, so that only one cleaning surface is available The mop cover 2 has on its outside 7 a Schlmgengewebe, which is indicated in Figures 1 and 2 by dashed lines. On the opposite side, which is not visible in FIG. 1 and, as can be seen in FIG. 2, bears against the holding plate 6 of the mop holder, a sling fabric is also provided which has shorter loops than the loops on the outside 7. This Schlmgengewebe 8 on the inside rests on the holding plate of the mop holder and is in interaction with counterparts provided on the holding plate 6 (not shown), so that a Velcro fastener is produced between the holding plate 6 and the mop cover 2. Counterparts can be provided on both sides of the holding plate, so that the Velcro fastener is produced on both sides. Furthermore, it is possible to form the counterparts on the holding plate 6 over the entire surface of the holding plate, or, alternatively, to provide only partial regions of the holding plate 6 with counterparts. Due to the variations in the area that the counterparts of the Velcro fastener occupy on the holding plate 6, the adhesive effect can be adapted to the circumstances. In particular, in the case of mop covers that are used for wet cleaning, a larger adhesive surface can be used, so that the wet mop cover also has a secure fit on the holding plate.

Figures 3 and 4 show enlarged sections of the fabric of the mop cover 2. Figure 3 shows a plan view, only one of the two pile threads 12 being shown of the fabric consisting of a weft thread 14, a knitting thread 16 and two pile threads 12, 13. The second of the pile threads 13 is mirror-symmetrical to the first of the pile threads and forms the loops on the underside 8 of the fabric.

It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the pile threads 12 are directly knitted with the weft thread 14 and the knitting thread 16 for the fabric. What is alternatively conceivable will not initially be a self-supporting fabric In a second step, the loop-forming thread is woven in, but the loop-forming pile thread 12 is woven directly with the weft thread 14 and the knitting thread 16, so that an interrelated fabric is formed which is on both main sides 7, 8 Has fringes m loop shape.

For this purpose, the loops, which are also referred to as pile loops, are formed on both sides in each course

As can be seen from FIG. 3, both the pile threads 12, 13 and the weft thread 14 m run in a serpentine configuration, the pile threads running serpentine from top to bottom (m in the drawing shown in FIG. 3). The pile threads 12, 13 are each knitted into the fabric as a single thread m, while the weft thread 14 is knocked out in such a way that the thread comes to lie several times next to one another in some areas. The weft thread 14 also has a serpentine course, which is likewise created in the vertical direction (m in FIG. 3). It should also be noted that the terms vertical and horizontal, top-bottom, left, right here refer exclusively to the drawings and should not restrict the design of the fabric. The knitting threads 16 each form stitches that enclose and thereby fix the pile thread and weft thread. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the knitting threads run essentially in the vertical direction, forming stitch rows lying one above the other.

FIG. 4 finally shows a cross section through the fabric shown in FIG. 3, both pile threads 12, 13 being shown. The first pile thread 12 forms the loops of one main side, the second pile thread 13 those of the other main page. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that in the embodiment shown the loops of the first main side 7 are approximately twice as high as the loops of the second main side 8.
