Description

"Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines ersten Gegenstandes an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand" "Device for fastening a first object to a second stem-shaped object"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines ersten Gegenstandes an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand mit einem mit dem ersten Gegenstand verbindbaren Halterungselement, welches zur Befestigung am stielförmigen Gegenstand wenigstens zwei axial beabstandete teilringförmige Klemmfederelemente mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern aufweist.The invention relates to a device for fastening a first object to a second stem-shaped object with a mountable element which can be connected to the first object and which has at least two axially spaced partially ring-shaped clamping spring elements with different diameters for fastening to the stem-shaped object.
Eine solche clipsförmige Befestigungsvorrichtung ist aus DE 100 26 522 A1 bekannt. In dieser Druckschrift ist eine Vorrichtung zur dosierten Abgabe von Reinigungsmittel an eine Reinigungsbürste, insbesondere zur Toilettenreinigung, mit einem Produktbehältnis für das Reinigungsmittel beschrieben, wobei das Produktbehältnis mittels einer gattungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung lösbar am Bürstenstiel der Reinigungsbürste anklemmbar ist. Dazu weist die Befestigungsvorrichtung ein mit dem Produktbehältnis verbindbares Halterungselement auf, das als Klemmelement ausgebildet ist und zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Bürstenstieldurchmesser mehrere axial voneinander beabstandete teilringförmige Klemmfederelemente mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern aufweist. Durch diese Mehrzahl von Klemmfederelementen ist ein Anklemmen an Bürstenstiele mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern möglich. Hat sich diese Befestigungsvorrichtung zwar bereits bewährt, so ist sie doch noch verbesserungswürdig.Such a clip-shaped fastening device is known from DE 100 26 522 A1. This document describes a device for the metered delivery of cleaning agent to a cleaning brush, in particular for toilet cleaning, with a product container for the cleaning agent, the product container being releasably clampable on the brush handle of the cleaning brush by means of a generic fastening device. For this purpose, the fastening device has a holding element which can be connected to the product container and which is designed as a clamping element and, in order to adapt to different brush handle diameters, has a plurality of partially annular clamping spring elements with different diameters. This plurality of clamping spring elements makes it possible to clamp onto brush handles with different diameters. Although this fastening device has already proven itself, it is still in need of improvement.
Aus DE 39 05 760 A1 ist ebenfalls eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Teiles eines Bodenreinigungsgerätes an einem Schrubberstiei bekannt, diese Befestigungsvorrichtung weist jedoch Feststellschrauben auf und ist relativ umständlich zu handhaben.DE 39 05 760 A1 also discloses a fastening device for fastening a part of a floor cleaning device to a scrubbing device, but this fastening device has locking screws and is relatively cumbersome to handle.
Grundsätzlich gibt es eine Vielzahl von Einsatzzwecken, bei welchen es wünschenswert ist, einen ersten Gegenstand mit Hilfe einer Befestigungsvorrichtung an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand klemmend zu befestigen, die beiden vorgenannten Einsatzfälle stellen nur Beispiele dar.Basically, there are a variety of uses in which it is desirable to attach a first object using a fastening device to be clamped to a second stem-shaped object, the two aforementioned applications are only examples.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung so zu verbessern, dass einerseits eine rutschsichere belastbare Fixierung erreicht wird, andererseits aber auch ein Wiederlösen ohne Hilfsmittel möglich ist, wobei die Vorrichtung zur Befestigung an stielförmigen Gegenständen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern geeignet sein soll.The object of the invention is to improve a generic device so that on the one hand a non-slip resilient fixation is achieved, but on the other hand it is also possible to detach it without aids, the device being intended to be suitable for attachment to stem-shaped objects of different diameters.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Enden der teilringförmigen Klemmfederelemente jeweils in nach außen gerichtete Federlaschen verlängert sind, welche endseitig mit dem ersten Gegenstand verbindbar sind.This object is achieved according to the invention with a device of the type described at the outset in that the ends of the part-ring-shaped clamping spring elements are each extended into outwardly directed spring tabs which can be connected at the end to the first object.
Anders als bei der gattungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung ist somit das Halterungselement mit den Klemmfederelementen nicht in erster Linie rückseitig auf der dem Einführschlitz abgewandten Seite mit dem ersten Gegenstand zu verbinden, sondern über die Enden der nach außen gerichteten Federlaschen, wodurch das Aufspreizen der Klemmfederelemente sicher begrenzt wird und bei etwaiger unsachgemäßer Handhabung auch ein Abbrechen der Federlaschen verhindert wird, da diese nicht frei enden, sondern mit dem ersten Gegenstand verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise wird eine wesentlich bessere Klemmverbindung erreicht, so dass eine belastbare Fixierung gewährleistet ist. Aufgrund der Flexibilität der Klemmfederelemente ist es aber möglich, die Befestigungsvorrichtung auch ohne Hilfsmittel wieder zu lösen, d.h. den ersten Gegenstand vom zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand wieder zu trennen, in dem die Laschen manuell auseinandergedrückt werden. Dabei ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung für stielförmige Gegenstände mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern geeignet, da mehrere unterschiedlich große Klemmfederelemente vorgesehen sind. Diese Variabilität der Einsatzmöglichkeit bezieht sich dabei sowohl auf unterschiedliche stielförmige Gegenstände als auch ein und denselben stielförmigen Gegenstand, wenn dieser konisch ausgebildet ist. In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass das Klemmfederelement mit größerem Durchmesser annähernd geschlossen ringförmig ausgebildet ist. Dieses Klemmfederelement dient dann unabhängig vom Durchmesser des stielförmigen Gegenstandes als Schutz gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des ersten Gegenstandes vom zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand, selbst bei mechanischer Beanspruchung. Da dieses Klemmfederelement annähernd geschlossen ringförmig ausgebildet ist, steht nämlich in Ruhelage nur ein sehr schmaler Schlitz zur Verfügung, der sich nach dem Anklemmen fast vollständig wieder schließt. Zum gewollten Lösen der Befestigungsvorrichtung sind dann manuell die nach außen gerichteten Federlaschen auseinanderzubiegen, um den Schlitz entsprechend zu verbreitern.In contrast to the generic fastening device, the mounting element with the clamping spring elements is therefore not primarily to be connected on the rear side on the side facing away from the insertion slot with the first object, but rather via the ends of the outwardly directed spring tabs, which reliably limits the spreading of the clamping spring elements and in the event of improper handling, the spring clips are also prevented from breaking off, since these do not end freely but are connected to the first object. In this way, a much better clamping connection is achieved, so that a reliable fixation is guaranteed. However, due to the flexibility of the clamping spring elements, it is also possible to loosen the fastening device again without aids, ie to separate the first object from the second stem-shaped object by manually pushing the tabs apart. The fastening device is suitable for handle-shaped objects with different diameters, since several differently sized clamping spring elements are provided. This variability of use relates both to different stem-shaped objects and to one and the same stem-shaped object if it is conical. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the clamping spring element with a larger diameter is designed to be approximately closed in a ring shape. This clamping spring element then serves, irrespective of the diameter of the stem-shaped object, as protection against inadvertent detachment of the first object from the second stem-shaped object, even under mechanical stress. Since this clamping spring element is designed to be approximately closed in the form of a ring, there is in fact only a very narrow slot in the rest position, which closes almost completely again after the clamping. To deliberately loosen the fastening device, the outwardly directed spring tabs must then be bent apart to widen the slot accordingly.
Eine weitere ganz besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass wenigstens das Klemmfederelement mit kleinerem Durchmesser innenseitig mit einer rutschfesten Beschichtung versehen ist. Durch diese rutschfeste Beschichtung, z.B. aus TPE, ist sicher gewährleistet, dass der erste Gegenstand nicht entlang des stielförmigen Gegenstandes verrutschen kann, er ist in einer bestimmten Position sicher fixiert. Wenn, was bevorzugt ist, die Vorrichtung aus Kunststoff im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt wird, kann bevorzugt die rutschfeste Beschichtung aus einem weicheren Material im Zweistufenspritzverfahren unlösbar mit dem übrigen Material während des Herstellungsprozesses verbunden werden.Another very particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that at least the clamping spring element with a smaller diameter is provided on the inside with a non-slip coating. This non-slip coating, e.g. Made of TPE, it is guaranteed that the first object cannot slip along the stem-shaped object, it is securely fixed in a certain position. If, what is preferred, the device is made of plastic using the injection molding process, the non-slip coating made of a softer material can preferably be inseparably connected to the rest of the material during the manufacturing process using the two-step spraying process.
Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die rutschfeste Beschichtung sich bereichsweise axial außerhalb des Klemmfederelementes erstreckt. Dadurch wird eine axiale Verschiebung in Richtung des Überstandes erschwert, da die weiche Beschichtung beim Verschieben nach Innen zwischen das Klemmfederelement und den stielförmigen Gegenstand einzurollen versucht, wodurch der Widerstand vergrößert wird.It is very particularly preferably provided that the non-slip coating extends axially in some areas outside the clamping spring element. This makes axial displacement in the direction of the protrusion more difficult, since the soft coating tries to roll between the clamping spring element and the stem-shaped object when it is moved inwards, as a result of which the resistance is increased.
In ganz besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung mit einem Produktbehältnis zur Aufnahme einer wasserlöslichen Wirksubstanz verbunden ist und an eine Reinigungsbürste anklemmbar ist. Dabei ist die Vorrichtung bevorzugt einteilig mit dem Produktbehältnis ausgebildet. Die Vorrichtung ist also ganz bevorzugt dazu geeignet, ein solches Produktbehältnis an einer Reinigungsbürste zu befestigen. Sie ist selbstverständlich auch für alle möglichen anderen Einsatzzwecke geeignet, bei denen ein erster Gegenstand an einem stielförmigen zweiten Gegenstand zu befestigen ist.In a very particularly preferred embodiment it is provided that the device has a product container for holding a water-soluble active substance is connected and can be clamped to a cleaning brush. The device is preferably formed in one piece with the product container. The device is therefore very preferably suitable for attaching such a product container to a cleaning brush. It is of course also suitable for all possible other uses in which a first object is to be attached to a stem-shaped second object.

Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen dient eine erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung eines ersten Gegenstandes, der als Produktbehältnis 1 zur Aufnahme einer Wirksubstanz zur Toilettenreinigung ausgebildet ist, an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand, nämlich am Bürstenstiel 2 einer Reinigungsbürste zur Toilettenreinigung.6 is a side view, partly in section, of FIG. 5. In the illustrated embodiments, a fastening device according to the invention is used to fasten a first object, which is designed as a product container 1 for receiving an active substance for toilet cleaning, on a second stem-shaped object, namely on the brush handle 2 of a cleaning brush for toilet cleaning.
Allgemein ist die eifindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung grundsätzlich geeignet, einen ersten Gegenstand, mit dem die Vorrichtung zu verbinden ist oder einteilig mit dieser ausgebildet ist, an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand klemmend bzw. clipsförmig zu befestigen.In general, the fastening device according to the invention is fundamentally suitable for fastening a first object, with which the device is to be connected or formed in one piece with it, in a clamp-like or clip-like manner to a second stem-shaped object.
Bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen ist die in den Figuren 3 und 4 allgemein mit 3 bezeichnete Befestigungsvorrichtung einteilig mit dem Produktbehältnis 1 ausgebildet, d.h. beispielsweise gemeinsam aus Kunststoff im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt.In the exemplary embodiments shown, the fastening device generally designated 3 in FIGS. 3 and 4 is formed in one piece with the product container 1, i.e. For example, jointly made of plastic by injection molding.
Das Produktbehältnis 1 ist in Gebrauchslage geschlossen, innerhalb des geschlossenen Produktbehältnisses 1 ist eine Aufnahmekammer gebildet, in welcher beispielsweise eine nicht dargestellte Wirksubstanz aufgenommen ist. Das Produktbehältnis 1 weist ober- und unterseitig Öffnungen auf, die unterschiedlich gestaltet sein können und die bei diesem Produktbehältnis zum Eintreten von Wasser und zum Austreten (und ggf. Eintreten) desselben mit gelöster Wirksubstanz dienen.The product container 1 is closed in the position of use, within the closed product container 1 a receiving chamber is formed in which, for example, an active substance, not shown, is received. The product container 1 has openings on the top and bottom which can be designed differently and which, in this product container, serve for the entry of water and for the exit (and possibly entry) of the same with dissolved active substance.
Das Produktbehältnis 1 besteht aus einem Oberteil 4 und einem Unterteil 5, die jeweils etwa halbschalenförmig ausgebildet sind und einteilig miteinander verbunden sind. Dazu sind sie über Filmscharniere 6 aneinander angelenkt und weisen korrespondierende Rastelemente 7, 8 auf. Nach der Eingabe einer Wirksubstanz werden das Oberteil 4 und das Unterteil 5 zusammengeschwenkt und miteinander mit Hilfe der Rastelemente 7, 8 arretiert, so dass ein in Gebrauchslage geschlossenes Produktbehältnis 1 zur Verfügung steht, so wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist.The product container 1 consists of an upper part 4 and a lower part 5, each of which is approximately half-shell-shaped and is connected to one another in one piece. For this purpose, they are hinged to one another via film hinges 6 and have corresponding latching elements 7, 8. After input of an active substance, the upper part 4 and the lower part 5 are pivoted together and locked together with the aid of the latching elements 7, 8, so that a product container 1 which is closed in the position of use is available, as shown in FIG.
Das Produktbehältnis 1 weist eine seitliche schlitzförmige Aussparung 9 auf, derart, dass das Produktbehältnis 1 von oben gesehen C- bzw. U-förmig ist. Diese Aussparung 9 dient zur Aufnahme einer erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung 3, welche in die Aussparung 9 fest eingesetzt sein kann oder, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel, einteilig mit dem Produktbehältnis 1 ausgebildet ist.The product container 1 has a lateral slot-shaped recess 9, such that the product container 1 is C-shaped or U-shaped when viewed from above. This recess 9 serves to receive a fastening device 3 according to the invention, which can be firmly inserted into the recess 9 or, as in the exemplary embodiment, is formed in one piece with the product container 1.
Die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 weist beim Ausführungsbeispiel ein Halterungselement mit zwei axial voneinander beabstandeten teilringförmigen Klemmfederelementen 10 und 11 auf, welche zur Aussparung 9 hin geschlitzt und aufspreizbar ausgebildet sind. Dabei ist wesentlich, dass die Enden der teilringförmigen Klemmfederelemente 10, 11 jeweils in nach außen gerichtete Federlaschen 10a, 11a verlängert sind, welche endseitig mit dem Produktbehältnis 1 verbunden sind, diese Verbindungspunkte sind mit 10b bzw. 11b bezeichnet.In the exemplary embodiment, the fastening device 3 has a holding element with two axially spaced, partially annular clamping spring elements 10 and 11, which are slotted toward the recess 9 and can be expanded. It is essential that the ends of the partially annular clamping spring elements 10, 11 are each extended into outwardly directed spring tabs 10a, 11a, which are connected at the end to the product container 1, these connection points are designated by 10b and 11b, respectively.
Erkennbar ist der Durchmesser des in Gebrauchslage unteren teilringförmigen Klemmfederelementes 11 größer als derjenige des anderen Klemmfederelementes 10. Das Klemmfederelement 11 mit größerem Durchmesser ist annähernd geschlossen ringförmig ausgebildet, d.h. in Ruhelage ist der Schlitzbereich 12 wesentlich kleiner als der entsprechende Schlitzbereich des anderen Klemmfederelementes 10.The diameter of the partially annular clamping spring element 11, which is lower in the position of use, can be seen to be larger than that of the other clamping spring element 10. The larger diameter clamping spring element 11 is approximately closed, i.e. in the rest position, the slot area 12 is significantly smaller than the corresponding slot area of the other clamping spring element 10.
Das Klemmfederelement 10 mit kleinerem Durchmesser ist innenseitig mit einer rutschfesten Beschichtung 13, beispielsweise aus TPE, versehen, die sich vorzugsweise bereichsweise axial außerhalb des Klemmfederelementes 10 erstreckt, dieser Bereich ist mit 13a bezeichnet. Diese Beschichtung 13 aus weicherem Material wird bevorzugt im Zweistufenspritzverfahren unlösbar mit dem übrigen Material während des Herstellungsprozesses verbunden.The clamping spring element 10 with a smaller diameter is provided on the inside with a non-slip coating 13, for example made of TPE, which preferably extends axially in some areas outside the clamping spring element 10, this area is designated by 13a. This coating 13 made of softer material is preferably inseparably bonded to the remaining material during the manufacturing process in the two-stage spraying process.
Das mit der Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 ausgerüstete Produktbehältnis 1 gemäß Figur 2 kann auf einfache Weise an den Bürstenstiel 2 einer Reinigungsbürste angeklemmt werden. Dabei ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 zur sicheren Befestigung an unterschiedlichen Stieldurchmessern geeignet, beispielsweise ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel das kleinere Klemmfederelement 10 bevorzugt für Stieldurchmesserzwischen 8 und 14 mm ausgelegt, während bei Stieldurchmessern von 12 bis ca. 20 mm das größere Klemmfederelement 11 zum Tragen kommt. Bei größeren Stieldurchmessern ist dann das kleinere Klemmfederelement 10 entsprechend weit aufgespreizt und bildet im Wesentlichen keinen geschlossenen Ring mehr.The product container 1 equipped with the fastening device 3 according to FIG. 2 can be easily clamped onto the brush handle 2 of a cleaning brush. The fastening device 3 is suitable for secure fastening to different stem diameters, for example in the exemplary embodiment the smaller clamping spring element 10 is preferably designed for stem diameters between 8 and 14 mm, while the larger clamping spring element 11 is used for stem diameters from 12 to approximately 20 mm. In the case of larger stem diameters, the smaller clamping spring element 10 is then spread out accordingly and essentially no longer forms a closed ring.
Unabhängig davon dient das größere Klemmfederelement 11 aufgrund seiner annähernd geschlossenen Ringform (enger Schiitzbereich 12) als Schutz gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Produktbehältnisses 1 vom Bürstenstiel 2, selbst bei mechanischer Beanspruchung. Ein Lösen ist nämlich nur dann möglich, wenn vom Nutzer manuell die Federlaschen 11a nach außen gedrückt werden.Regardless of this, the larger clamping spring element 11, due to its approximately closed ring shape (narrow protective area 12), serves as protection against unintentional detachment of the product container 1 from the brush handle 2, even under mechanical stress. A release is only possible if the user manually pushes the spring tabs 11a outwards.
Aus den Figuren 3 und 4 geht die besondere Funktionsweise der inneren Beschichtung 13 des kleineren Klemmfederelementes 10 hervor, wobei der axial vorstehende Bereich 13a beispielsweise um ca. 2 bis 5 mm über das eigentliche Klemmfederelement 10 nach oben hinausragt. Wird nun versucht, die Befestigungsyorrichtung 3 im Sinne des Pfeiles der Figur 3 nach oben zu verschieben, so wirkt die Beschichtung 13 bzw. der vorstehende Bereich 13a derselben dem entgegen, da die weiche Beschichtung beim Nachobenverschieben nach innen zwischen das Klemmfederelement 10 und den Reinigungsstiel 2 einzurollen versucht, wie dies Figur 4 zeigt. Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen noch einmal in anderen Darstellungen die Befestigungsvorrichtung in Befestigungslage.FIGS. 3 and 4 show the special mode of operation of the inner coating 13 of the smaller clamping spring element 10, the axially projecting area 13a projecting upwards, for example by approximately 2 to 5 mm, beyond the actual clamping spring element 10. If an attempt is now made to move the fastening device 3 upwards in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3, the coating 13 or the projecting region 13a counteracts this, since the soft coating moves inwards between the clamping spring element 10 and the cleaning handle 2 when it is moved upwards tries to roll, as shown in Figure 4. Figures 5 and 6 show again in other representations the fastening device in the fastening position.
Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind möglich, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So eignet sich die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 generell für verschiedene Anwendungszwecke, bei denen es darum geht, einen ersten Gegenstand an einem zweiten stielförmigen Gegenstand zu befestigen. Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Further configurations are possible without leaving the basic idea. Thus, the fastening device 3 is generally suitable for various applications in which it is a matter of fastening a first object to a second stem-shaped object.
