Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for washing floors.
- One of the most practical and effective systems involves the use of a device that comprises a handle that can be gripped by the user and connected, at an end portion thereof, to a supporting element for a washing cloth made of microfiber or of other technofibers.
- the surface that supports the bars extends above the access mouth of the bucket and this limits and renders difficult the operations to insert and withdraw the cloth to be washed into and out of the bucket.
- the aim of the present invention is provide a device for washing floors which is capable of reducing, or at least drastically limiting, the above mentioned drawbacks.
- an object of the present invention is to make available a device for washing floors which is extremely practical to use.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a device for washing floors which allows great flexibility of use.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device for washing floors in the condition for use according to the invention
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the portion of the device in contact with the floor
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device during the condition for wringing and cleaning the cloth
- Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the device for washing floors in the condition for use
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view similar to the previous view of the device for washing floors in the condition for wringing and cleaning the cloth;
- Figure 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a variation of embodiment of the wringing device.
- the present invention relates to a device, for washing floors, generally indicated with the reference numeral 1.
- the device 1 comprises a handle 2 that can be gripped by the user and is connected, at an end portion 2a, to a supporting element 3 for at least one washing cloth 4.
- the washing cloth 4 has at least one working portion 4a, which is arranged on a respective plane of arrangement.
- the device 1 is adapted to pass between a condition for use (shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4) in which the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2 is incident to the plane of arrangement of the working portion 4a of the washing cloth 4, and a condition of wringing and cleaning the cloth 4 (shown in Figures 3 and 5) in which the washing cloth 4 is arranged with at least one plane of arrangement substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2.
- the device 1 comprises a wringing device 10 mounted so that it can slide on the handle 2.
- the wringing device 10 supports at least one friction tooth 11 , which is designed to act on the washing cloth 4, with the device 1 placed in the wringing and cleaning condition, as a consequence of a relative sliding motion of the wringing device 10 with respect to the handle 2.
- the supporting element 3 has an elongated shape structure that is substantially parallel to a main longitudinal direction 102.
- the main longitudinal direction 102 of the supporting element 3 is arranged substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2.
- the wringing device 10 can slide with respect to the handle 2 along a movement direction, indicated with the arrow 200, which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2.
- end portion 2a of the handle 2 prefferably be rotatable, about a pivoting axis 101, with respect to the supporting element 3.
- the movement direction 200 is substantially perpendicular to the pivoting axis 101.
- the transition of the device 1 from the condition for use to the condition for wringing and cleaning the cloth 4 occurs by way of raising the handle 2, which causes the oscillation of the supporting element 3 about the pivoting axis 101 and the arrangement, by gravity, of the working portion 4a, 4b on a substantially vertical plane.
- the pivoting axis 101 is arranged substantially parallel to the main longitudinal direction 102 of the supporting element 3.
- the washing cloth 4 comprises a cloth made of microfiber or of other technofibers.
- the supporting element 3 defines two substantially flat mutually opposite surfaces 3a, 3b which are associated with a respective working portion 4a, 4b of the washing cloth 4.
- the surfaces 3a, 3b are mutually opposite with respect to the plane of arrangement of the supporting element 3. As a consequence, the surfaces 3a and 3b are mutually opposite in the condition for use as well.
- the washing cloth 4 can be associated detachably with the supporting element 3, for example by way of strips of Velcro® or by way of elastic bands or retaining teeth.
- the wringing device 10 With reference to the embodiment that has the two working portions 4a, 4b, it is possible for the wringing device 10 to support at least two friction teeth 11 which are designed to act on a respective working portion 4a, 4b.
- the two working portions 4a and 4b can have different technical washing characteristics.
- the wringing device 10 comprises a supporting body 12 for the friction tooth or teeth 11.
- the supporting body 12 can be constituted by a pair of elongated bodies, which are arranged on opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2 and which support at least one respective friction tooth 11.
- the elongated bodies are likewise connected to a maneuvering portion 15, which is substantially tubular and is fitted around a portion of the handle 2.
- the supporting body or bodies 12 are associated with elastic loading means 13 that act, when the device 1 is placed in the condition for wringing and washing the cloth 4, between the working portion 4a, 4b and the respective friction tooth 11.
- the elastic loading means 13 are adapted to keep, during the condition for wringing and washing the cloth 4, the (or each) tooth 11 pressed against the respective working portion 4a, 4b.
- the washing cloth 4 comprises a plate-like element made of waterproof material which is arranged so as to face the supporting element 3.
- the wringing device 10 comprises, at the region that, in the condition for use, is directed toward the supporting element 3, an inclined guiding surface 16 that is adapted to facilitate, during the transition of the device 1 from the condition for use to the condition for wringing and cleaning the cloth 4, the rotation of the supporting element 3 in order to place the working portion or portions 4a, 4b on a plane of arrangement that is parallel to the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2.
- the wringing device 10 With reference to the variation of embodiment shown in Figure 6, it is possible for the wringing device 10 to support, on one or on both sides, two or more friction teeth 11 mutually spaced along a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis 100 of the handle 2. It has been found to be extremely advantageous to have at least one angle of incidence, indicated with a, defined between one side of the tooth 11 and the plane of arrangement of the respective working portion 4a be smaller than 45° and, preferably, comprised between 25° and 35°.
- the angle a is the angle directed toward the handle 2.
- the device 1 is gripped by the user by way of the handle 2 and the washing cloth 4, which is supported by the supporting element 3 that is pivoted to the end portion 2a of the handle 2, is pushed by the handle 2 which has its longitudinal axis 100 incident to the plane of arrangement of the working portion 4b.
- the user lifts the handle 2, bringing it, conveniently, to a vertical direction, and the wringing device 10 is moved slideably, with respect to the handle 2, by acting on the maneuvering portion 15.
