Description

SOPORTE PARA LIMPIEZA DE ALFOMBRILLAS  CARPET CLEANING SUPPORT
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN La presente invención permite la limpieza de alfombrillas de coches u otros vehículos. Adicionalmente el soporte de la presente invención presenta como ventaja su reducido tamaño, que permite instalarlo en lugares pequeños en los que otro tipo de dispositivos no cabría. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention allows cleaning of car mats or other vehicles. Additionally, the support of the present invention has the advantage of its small size, which allows it to be installed in small places where other types of devices would not fit. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Del estado de la técnica se conocen diferentes métodos para realizar la limpieza de las alfombrillas. Concretamente, cuando se trabaja con alfombrillas de vehículos, dicha limpieza se realiza generalmente de forma manual. Different methods for cleaning the mats are known from the state of the art. Specifically, when working with vehicle mats, such cleaning is generally done manually.
Se trata de una operación bastante incómoda porque el usuario tiene que estar al mismo tiempo sujetando la alfombrilla con una mano mientras que con la otra dirige hacia ella la aspiradora o un chorro de agua para su limpieza. Una solución para ese problema es colocarla sobre el suelo u otra superficie de apoyo para poder realizar la limpieza con mayor comodidad. La mayor desventaja de esta solución es que es muy fácil que la alfombrilla se manche de nuevo al apoyarla sobre dicha superficie. Además cuando se echa agua a presión para realizar el lavado, como la alfombrilla no está sujeta a nada, puede desplazarse de forma indeseada. De esta forma la limpieza no se lleva a cabo de forma correcta porque hay partes de la alfombrilla, que al haberse desplazado ésta no van a recibir la cantidad correcta de agua. También puede ser que al desplazarse la alfombrilla acabe en una zona del suelo o la superficie de apoyo que esté totalmente sucia con lo que habría que comenzar de nuevo el lavado. Estas desventajas, que afectan a los usuarios particulares cuando realizan la limpieza de alfombrillas se torna todavía más importante cuando dicha limpieza se realiza a nivel industrial, por ejemplo en empresas de alquiler de coches. Otro inconveniente es que en caso de que sea necesario limpiar ambas caras de la alfombrilla no es posible dejar sobre el suelo o la superficie de apoyo la alfombrilla sin que la cara que ya se ha lavado se manche. This is a very uncomfortable operation because the user has to be at the same time holding the mat with one hand while with the other he directs the vacuum cleaner or a water jet for cleaning. One solution to this problem is to place it on the floor or other support surface to be able to perform cleaning more comfortably. The biggest disadvantage of this solution is that it is very easy for the mat to stain again when resting on said surface. In addition, when water is put under pressure to perform the washing, as the mat is not subject to anything, it can move undesirably. In this way the cleaning is not carried out correctly because there are parts of the mat, which having moved it will not receive the correct amount of water. It may also be that when the mat is moved it ends up in an area of the floor or the support surface that is completely dirty, so the washing should begin again. These disadvantages, which affect private users when cleaning mats, become even more important when such cleaning is done at an industrial level, for example in car rental companies. Another drawback is that in case it is necessary to clean both sides of the mat it is not possible to leave the mat on the floor or the support surface without the face that has already been washed being stained.
Se conocen también del estado dispositivos que permiten simplificar las operaciones de limpieza de las alfombrillas pero ocupan demasiado espacio como para poder ser instalados en garajes particulares o en pequeños centros de limpieza de alfombrillas. Devices are also known from the state that simplify the cleaning operations of the mats but take up too much space to be installed in private garages or in small mats cleaning centers.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención propone un soporte de limpieza para alfombrillas que permite realizar el lavado de una forma sencilla y cómoda para el usuario, garantizando que la limpieza se realiza de forma correcta. Además el soporte propuesto está especialmente diseñado para ser empleado en espacios reducidos ya que tiene unas dimensiones que se adaptan al tamaño de la alfombrilla y tiene unos medios de anclaje a la pared. Los medios de anclaje a la pared permiten asegurar su posición en la pared pero manteniendo una separación entre la alfombrilla y la pared que permite el paso del aire y por tanto ayuda a que se seque la alfombrilla después de la operación de limpieza. The present invention proposes a cleaning support for mats that allows the washing to be carried out in a simple and comfortable way for the user, guaranteeing that the cleaning is carried out correctly. In addition, the proposed support is specially designed to be used in confined spaces since it has dimensions that adapt to the size of the mat and has means for anchoring to the wall. The means of anchoring to the wall allow to ensure its position in the wall but maintaining a separation between the mat and the wall that allows the passage of air and therefore helps the mat to dry after the cleaning operation.
Otra ventaja interesante del soporte de limpieza es que es sencillo de instalar porque simplemente hay que acoplarlo en la pared y que no necesita operaciones de mantenimiento porque no tiene elementos móviles. Así pues se trata de un soporte sencillo y económico. El usuario puede instalarlo a la altura que le resulte más cómoda para poder trabajar sin tener que agacharse o estar inclinado sobre el suelo. De esta forma se aumenta la facilidad y comodidad de empleo del dispositivo y se reducen riesgos de sufrir por ejemplo lesiones en la espalda o los ríñones. El soporte de la invención comprende un espacio libre destinado a recibir la alfombra y posicionarla de forma correcta para su lavado de forma que cuando se quiere limpiar la alfombrilla, el usuario apunta con agua presión hacia el soporte donde está situada, dirigiendo toda el agua a presión hacia la superficie de la alfombrilla. Another interesting advantage of the cleaning support is that it is simple to install because it simply has to be attached to the wall and that it does not need maintenance because it has no moving elements. So it is a simple and economical support. The user can install it at the height that is most comfortable to work without having to bend down or be leaning on the ground. In this way, the ease and comfort of use of the device is increased and risks of suffering for example injuries to the back or kidneys are reduced. The support of the invention comprises a free space intended to receive the carpet and position it correctly for washing so that when the carpet is to be cleaned, the user points with water pressure towards the support where it is located, directing all the water to pressure towards the surface of the mat.
Además el soporte puede ser alargado en dirección horizontal para poder recibir alfombrillas largas de las que se emplean normalmente en todoterrenos o furgones. Este tipo de soportes alargados también pueden utilizarse para más de una alfombrilla de las de tamaño estándar de coche turismo. In addition, the support can be lengthened in the horizontal direction to be able to receive long floor mats that are normally used in SUVs or vans. This type of elongated brackets can also be used for more than one mat of the standard-sized passenger car.
Como la alfombrilla está dispuesta en dirección vertical paralela a la pared, el agua que se lanza contra la alfombrilla, y que está sucia, cae directamente al suelo, es decir, no se queda en la propia alfombrilla como ocurre cuando ésta se coloca directamente sobre el suelo. As the mat is arranged in a vertical direction parallel to the wall, the water that is thrown against the mat, and that is dirty, falls directly to the floor, that is, it does not stay in the mat itself as it does when it is placed directly on soil.
Adicionalmente, en caso de que se quieran instalar en una misma pared al menos dos soportes, uno encima del otro, los medios de anclaje del soporte que se coloca en la posición inferior tienen una altura mayor por lo que este soporte inferior queda más separado de la pared que el soporte superior. De esta forma cuando se limpia la alfombrilla que está en el soporte superior y cae el agua sucia ésta cae en el espacio que queda entre la pared y la cara posterior del soporte inferior (este espacio es el determinado por la profundidad de los medios de anclaje a la pared). Adicionalmente, los medios de anclaje pueden ser unos tacos que permiten el desmontaje del soporte para labores de mantenimiento del propio soporte o de la pared en la que está instalado, sin necesidad de tener que volver a atornillar ni desatornillar. Additionally, in case at least two supports are to be installed on the same wall, one on top of the other, the support anchoring means that are placed in the lower position have a greater height so that this lower support is more separated from the wall that the upper support. In this way, when the mat that is in the upper support is cleaned and the dirty water falls, it falls into the space between the wall and the rear face of the lower support (this space is determined by the depth of the anchoring means to the wall). Additionally, the anchoring means can be tacos that allow the disassembly of the support for maintenance tasks of the support itself or of the wall on which it is installed, without having to re-screw or unscrew.
En esta realización se disponen unos tornillos u otro tipo de enganches mecánicos en la pared y los medios de anclaje que son unos tacos que pueden comprender un apoyo (por ejemplo un orificio o un resalte) y que se soportan sobre el tornillo o enganche mecánico colocado en la pared para mantener su posición. El soporte de limpieza tiene tanto aplicación industrial, por ejemplo en empresas de alquileres de coches, como aplicación doméstica, por ejemplo en garajes de casas particulares. In this embodiment, screws or other type of mechanical hooks are arranged in the wall and the anchoring means which are blocks that can comprise a support (for example a hole or a shoulder) and that are supported on the screw or mechanical hook placed on the wall to maintain its position. The cleaning support has both industrial application, for example in car rental companies, and domestic application, for example in private home garages.
Para proceder a la limpieza de la alfombrilla simplemente es necesano colocar la alfombrilla en el interior de un espacio libre que hay en el soporte y que está destinado a tal fin. Una vez que la alfombrilla está correctamente posicionada se lanza agua a presión contra ella. Esta agua puede llevar productos de limpieza para asegurar un mejor acabado. Para limpiar la otra cara de la alfombrilla es suficiente con sacarla del soporte, darle la vuelta y volver a introducirla (así la cara que se ha limpiado queda orientada hacia la pared y la que hay que limpiar queda orientada hacia el usuario). To proceed with the cleaning of the mat it is simply necessary to place the mat inside a free space that is in the support and is intended for that purpose. Once the mat is correctly positioned, pressurized water is released against it. This water can carry cleaning products to ensure a better finish. To clean the other side of the mat it is enough to remove it from the support, turn it over and reinsert it (so the face that has been cleaned is oriented towards the wall and the one to be cleaned is oriented towards the user).
Además el soporte puede comprender en su cara anterior (la más alejada de la pared) dos enganches formados por pasadores Beta tipo R que permiten la sujeción correcta de las alfombras sin la necesidad de elementos complejos. Estos enganches permiten sujetar la alfombrilla en el exterior del soporte para proceder a su limpieza por frotado. Gracias a esto se puede limpiar también la suciedad incrustada en las alfombrillas. En una realización de la invención el soporte tiene unas medidas que se ajustan a las medidas de una alfombrilla de coche estándar de forma que solo se puede introducir una alfombrilla cada vez para proceder a su limpieza. En otra realización de la invención el soporte es más alargado y en él se puede introducir más de una alfombrilla, colocando unas al lado de otras, para realizar la limpieza de todas ellas al mismo tiempo. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS DIBUJOS In addition, the support can comprise on its front face (the farthest from the wall) two hooks formed by Beta R type pins that allow the correct fastening of the carpets without the need for complex elements. These hooks allow you to hold the mat on the outside of the support to clean it by rubbing. Thanks to this, the dirt embedded in the mats can also be cleaned. In one embodiment of the invention, the support has measures that conform to the measurements of a standard car mat so that only one mat can be inserted at a time for cleaning. In Another embodiment of the invention the support is more elongated and in it more than one mat can be introduced, placed next to each other, to perform the cleaning of all of them at the same time.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A continuación se describe detalladamente un ejemplo de realización preferente de la invención, con ayuda de las figuras adjuntas 1 a 4. A preferred embodiment of the invention is described in detail below, with the help of the attached figures 1 to 4.
En la figura 1 se presenta un soporte de limpieza para alfombrillas que comprende un espacio libre (4) en el que se introducen las alfombrillas y donde se mantienen durante el lavado. Dicho espacio libre (4) está dispuesto entre una cara posterior (2) y una cara anterior (3) del soporte, que están unidas entre sí mediante unos medios de unión. La cara anterior (2) y la cara posterior (3) son preferentemente unas mallas para permitir que el agua de lavado llegue hasta la alfombrilla que se coloca en el espacio libre. Preferentemente son unas láminas malladas de configuración alargada. Figure 1 shows a cleaning support for floor mats comprising a free space (4) in which the floor mats are inserted and where They are maintained during washing. Said free space (4) is disposed between a rear face (2) and a front face (3) of the support, which are joined together by means of connection. The front face (2) and the rear face (3) are preferably meshes to allow the washing water to reach the mat that is placed in the free space. Preferably they are meshed sheets of elongated configuration.
La clave del soporte de la presente invención es que está especialmente diseñado para quedar anclado a la pared. La cara posterior (2) es la que queda unida a la pared para evitar que la alfombrilla pueda entrar en contacto con la pared y mancharse. Además se crea un espacio libre entre la alfombrilla y la pared que permite la circulación de aire para facilitar el secado después de la limpieza. Se trata de un soporte que ocupa poco espacio y que puede ser instalado en cualquier tipo de pared. The key to the support of the present invention is that it is specially designed to be anchored to the wall. The rear face (2) is the one that is attached to the wall to prevent the mat from coming into contact with the wall and staining. In addition, a free space is created between the mat and the wall that allows air circulation to facilitate drying after cleaning. It is a support that takes up little space and can be installed on any type of wall.
Preferentemente, para facilitar la introducción de la alfombrilla en el espacio libre (4) del dispositivo, la cara antenor (3) tiene un extremo superior inclinado. Adicionalmente, para facilitar todavía más la introducción de la alfombrilla en el espacio libre (4), dicho extremo superior de la cara anterior (3) puede ser curvo evitándose así posibles enganchones de la alfombrilla en dicho extremo superior. Preferably, to facilitate the introduction of the mat in the free space (4) of the device, the front face (3) has an inclined upper end. Additionally, to further facilitate the introduction of the mat into the free space (4), said upper end of the front face (3) can be curved thus avoiding possible hooks of the mat on said upper end.
En una realización de la invención la cara posterior (2) y la cara anterior (3) comprenden unos extremos inferiores y los medios de unión son una cara inferior (5) que une la cara posterior (2) y la cara anterior (3) por dichos extremos inferiores y sobre la que queda uno de los extremos de la alfombrilla cuando se introduce en el espacio libre (4). In one embodiment of the invention the rear face (2) and the front face (3) comprise lower ends and the joining means are a lower face (5) that joins the rear face (2) and the front face (3) by said lower ends and on which one of the ends of the mat remains when it is introduced into the free space (4).
En otra realización de la invención los medios de unión podrían ser unos tornillos, unas garras, etc. o cualquier otro medio de unión que permita unir la cara posterior (2) y la cara anterior (3) asegurando la posición de la alfombrilla en el espacio libre (4). En estas realizaciones se separar la cara anterior (3) de la cara posterior (2), se dispone la alfombrilla entre ellas y se unen de nuevo mediante dichos medios de unión apretando ambas caras (2, 3) entre sí para evitar que alfombrilla se salga del espacio libre (4) creando entre ambas caras. La cara posterior (2) y la cara anterior (3) comprenden unos extremos laterales y en una realización de la invención los medios de unión entre ellas pueden ser, además de la cara inferior (5), unas caras laterales (7) que unen dichos extremos laterales. Dichas caras laterales (7) evitan que la alfombrilla se salga del espacio libre (4) por los extremos laterales de las caras posterior (2) y anterior (3). In another embodiment of the invention the joining means could be screws, claws, etc. or any other means of connection that allow joining the rear face (2) and the front face (3) ensuring the position of the mat in the free space (4). In these embodiments, the anterior face (3) is separated from the rear face (2), the mat is arranged between them and they are joined again by said joining means by squeezing both faces (2, 3) with each other to prevent the mat from leaving the free space (4) creating between both faces. The rear face (2) and the front face (3) comprise lateral ends and in one embodiment of the invention the joining means between them can be, in addition to the lower face (5), side faces (7) that join said lateral ends. Said side faces (7) prevent the mat from leaving the free space (4) by the side ends of the back (2) and front (3) faces.
El soporte (1 ) comprende unos medios de anclaje (6), que están dispuestos en su cara posterior (2) y que permiten fijar su posición en la pared. Dichos medios de anclaje pueden ser unos medios de anclaje mecánicos. The support (1) comprises anchoring means (6), which are arranged on its rear face (2) and which allow its position to be fixed on the wall. Said anchoring means may be mechanical anchoring means.
Los medios de anclaje (6) también pueden ser unos tacos destinados a quedar unidos a unos medios mecánicos dispuestos en la pared. En este caso los medios de anclaje (6) comprenden unos orificios destinados a alojar los medios mecánicos que hay dispuestos en la pared. En un ejemplo de realización puede haber por ejemplo unas alcayatas en la pared y los medios de anclaje (6) se cuelgan de ellas. De esta forma los soportes se pueden retirar y volver a colocar sin necesidad de tener que atornillarlos y desatornillarlos cada vez. The anchoring means (6) can also be blocks intended to be attached to mechanical means arranged in the wall. In this case the anchoring means (6) comprise holes intended to accommodate the mechanical means that are arranged in the wall. In an exemplary embodiment, there may be, for example, wall gutters and the anchoring means (6) are hung thereon. In this way the supports can be removed and replaced without having to screw and unscrew them every time.
En una realización de la invención el soporte (1 ) incluye adicionalmente unos refuerzos (8) que están unidos al menos a la cara posterior (2) del soporte (1 ) y sobre ellos se pueden disponer los medios de anclaje (6) como se observa por ejemplo en la figura 2. In one embodiment of the invention the support (1) additionally includes reinforcements (8) that are attached at least to the rear face (2) of the support (1) and on them the anchoring means (6) can be arranged as see for example in figure 2.
Los refuerzos (8) pueden cubrir los extremos laterales de la cara posterior (2) y de la cara anterior (3), uniendo dichas caras entre sí como se observa por ejemplo en la figura 1 . En la realización en la que el soporte comprende unas caras laterales (7) los refuerzos (8) cubren parte de dichas caras laterales (7) desde la cara posterior (2) hasta la cara anterior (3). En otra realización de la invención los refuerzos (8) cubren los extremos laterales de la cara posterior (2) y de la cara anterior (3) y actúan como caras laterales (7), evitando que las alfombrillas puedan salirse por los laterales (en esta realización no hay caras laterales (7) propiamente dichas). The reinforcements (8) can cover the lateral ends of the rear face (2) and the front face (3), joining said faces to each other as seen for example in Figure 1. In the embodiment in which the support comprises lateral faces (7) the reinforcements (8) cover part of said lateral faces (7) from the back side (2) to the front side (3). In another embodiment of the invention the reinforcements (8) cover the lateral ends of the back face (2) and the front face (3) and act as side faces (7), preventing the mats from being able to run out the sides (in this embodiment there are no side faces (7) proper).
En la figura 3 se observa un ejemplo de instalación real en el que se han seleccionado dos soportes para alfombrillas de vehículos tunsmos y un soporte alargado para alfombrillas de vehículos todoterreno o furgones (o bien para colocar varias alfombrillas de vehículos turismos). En este caso los soportes más pequeños se van a instalar arriba y el soporte alargado por debajo de ellos. Como se ha descrito anteriormente, para evitar que el agua sucia que escurre desde los soportes superiores manche la alfombra (o alfombras) del soporte inferior, los medios de anclaje (6) de los soportes superiores y del soporte inferior tienen diferente profundidad. Figure 3 shows an example of a real installation in which two supports for car floor mats have been selected and an elongated support for mats for off-road vehicles or vans (or to place several car vehicle mats). In this case, the smaller brackets are to be installed above and the elongated bracket below them. As described above, in order to prevent dirty water running from the upper supports to stain the carpet (or carpets) of the lower support, the anchoring means (6) of the upper supports and the lower support have different depth.
Como se aprecia en dicha figura los soportes (1 ) superiores tienen unos medios de anclaje (6) de profundidad menor que los medios de anclaje (6) de los soportes (1 ) inferiores. La profundidad de los medios de anclaje (6) determina la separación que queda entre la cara posterior (2) y la pared. As can be seen in said figure, the upper supports (1) have anchoring means (6) of less depth than the anchoring means (6) of the lower supports (1). The depth of the anchoring means (6) determines the gap between the rear face (2) and the wall.
El soporte (1 ) puede estar hecho de diferentes materiales entre los cuales destacan materiales plásticos o metálicos. En caso de que se opte por materiales metálicos es necesario dar una capa de antioxidante al soporte (1 ) para evitar que el contacto directo con el agua (o agua con productos de limpieza) lo deteriore. The support (1) can be made of different materials among which plastic or metal materials stand out. In case of opting for metallic materials it is necessary to give a layer of antioxidant to the support (1) to prevent direct contact with water (or water with cleaning products) deteriorating it.
En una realización de la invención el soporte comprende dos enganches (9) de pasador Beta tipo R dispuestos en la cara anterior (3) destinados a sujetar la alfombrilla en el exterior del soporte para permitir su limpieza mediante frotado. Dichos enganches comprenden un extremo inclinado, tal y como se aprecia en la figura 1 , que permite la fácil colocación de la alfombrilla en ellos para su sujeción. Los operarios encargados de realizar dichas operaciones pueden colocar la alfombra con una sola mano y ésta queda bien fijada. Así se ahorra tiempo y se facilita la preparación para la limpieza. Asimismo, en otra realización de la invención el soporte puede tener unas medidas tal que permita introducir al mismo tiempo varias alfombrillas en el espacio libre (4), unas posicionadas al lado de otras, para poder limpiarlas de forma simultánea. En esta realización la cara anterior (2) y la cara posterior (3) son más alargadas (sus extremos longitudinales tienen una longitud mayor). Asimismo esta realización se puede utilizar para limpiar alfombrillas alargadas como las de los todoterrenos o los furgones. In one embodiment of the invention, the support comprises two hooks (9) of type R Beta pin arranged on the front face (3) intended to hold the mat outside the support to allow cleaning by rubbing. Said hooks comprise an inclined end, as shown in Figure 1, which allows easy placement of the mat on them for subjection. The operators responsible for carrying out these operations can place the carpet with one hand and it is well fixed. This saves time and facilitates cleaning preparation. Also, in another embodiment of the invention, the support can have measures such that it allows several mats to be introduced in the free space (4), some positioned next to each other, to be able to clean them simultaneously. In this embodiment the front face (2) and the rear face (3) are more elongated (their longitudinal ends have a longer length). This embodiment can also be used to clean elongated mats such as those of SUVs or vans.
Otra realización de la presente invención podría comprender unos postes verticales para apoyo de los medios de anclaje (6). Este ejemplo de realización se muestra en la figura 4. Another embodiment of the present invention could comprise vertical posts for support of the anchoring means (6). This exemplary embodiment is shown in Figure 4.
En este caso el soporte comprende adicionalmente dos postes (10) a los que se unen los medios de anclaje (6) y que están destinados a anclarse al suelo. En caso de que el soporte (1 ) comprenda dos espacios libres (4) como se observa en dicha figura 4, los postes (10) no son rectos sino que comprenden una porción desfasada respecto al resto del poste para que las alfombrillas que se van a limpiar no queden dispuestas en el mismo plano vertical. In this case, the support additionally comprises two posts (10) to which the anchoring means (6) are attached and which are intended to be anchored to the ground. In case the support (1) comprises two free spaces (4) as seen in said figure 4, the posts (10) are not straight but comprise an outdated portion with respect to the rest of the post so that the mats that leave to be cleaned are not arranged in the same vertical plane.
Este desfase se realiza para evitar que el agua sucia que cae de la alfombrilla (o alfombrillas) dispuestas en la parte superior no caiga sobre la alfombra o alfombrillas de la parte inferior. De esta forma se soluciona el mismo problema que variando la profundidad de los medios de anclaje (6) como se ha descrito anteriormente. This offset is made to prevent the dirty water that falls from the mat (or mats) arranged at the top from falling on the carpet or floor mats at the bottom. In this way, the same problem is solved as by varying the depth of the anchoring means (6) as described above.
