Description

DESCRIPCIÓN  DESCRIPTION
Lámina con abrasivo para fregado Blade with abrasive for scrubbing
La presente invención, tal como cita el enunciado de la memoria, considera la elaboración de una fregona para limpieza de suelos de las constituidas por un cabezal plástico que sujeta un grupo de hilos o tiras de microfibra muy absorbente y en su parte opuesta conectada a un mango. The present invention, as mentioned in the statement of the report, considers the development of a mop for cleaning floors of those constituted by a plastic head that holds a group of very absorbent microfiber threads or strips and in its opposite part connected to a mango.
La singularidad de esta fregona es la incorporación en su lado próximo al cabezal de un tejido abrasivo que permite quitar manchas o suciedad incrustada en el suelo de forma mucho más eficiente que con una fregona convencional, sin rayar el suelo. Campo de aplicación The uniqueness of this mop is the incorporation on its side next to the head of an abrasive fabric that allows to remove stains or dirt embedded in the soil much more efficiently than with a conventional mop, without scratching the floor. Scope
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se encuadra dentro del sector de la limpieza tanto doméstica como profesional. The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of both domestic and professional cleaning.
Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention
El método más extendido para la limpieza en húmedo de todo tipo de suelos es la popular fregona. Constituidas por tiras, hilos, trenzas o piezas de tejido fabricados de material absorbente, sujetas a un cabezal por su parte intermedia. Éste cabezal se une a un mango por su parte opuesta para facilitar la labor de fregado sin necesidad de agacharse. Como es bien sabido, la fregona se empapa de agua con agentes limpiadores y se escurre por presión en un cubo con un dispositivo colador. Su simplicidad, amplio campo de aplicación, eficiencia, fácil uso y bajo coste ha favorecido su implantación progresiva en todos los mercados, siendo uno de los inventos españoles de mayor difusión a nivel mundial. The most widespread method for wet cleaning of all types of floors is the popular mop. Consisting of strips, threads, braids or pieces of fabric made of absorbent material, attached to a head by its intermediate part. This head is attached to a handle on the opposite side to facilitate scrubbing without bending down. As is well known, the mop is soaked in water with cleaning agents and drained by pressure in a bucket with a strainer. Its simplicity, wide field of application, efficiency, easy use and low cost has favored its progressive implementation in all markets, being one of the most widely spread Spanish inventions worldwide.
La eficacia en la limpieza de suelos de toda fregona se basa en su capacidad de absorción y escurrido. El material absorbente que configura la fregona se empapa de agua con productos químicos friegasuelos que, una vez aplicado sobre el suelo, actúan como disolventes de la suciedad. Ésta suciedad disuelta en el agua se absorbe nuevamente por la fregona y se expulsa escurriéndola en el cubo. The efficiency in the cleaning of floors of any mop is based on its capacity of absorption and drained. The absorbent material that configures the mop is soaked in water with chemical floor scrubbers that, once applied to the floor, act as dirt solvents. This dirt dissolved in the water is absorbed again by the mop and ejected by draining it into the bucket.
Tradicionalmente se han empleado materiales de origen natural para como el algodón o la viscosa para dotar de capacidad de absorción a la fregona. Desde la irrupción de materiales sintéticos como las microfibras, de mayor capacidad de absorción, durabilidad y capacidad limpiadora han ido sustituyendo a los primeros. Traditionally, materials of natural origin have been used, such as cotton or viscose, to provide the mop with absorption capacity. Since the irruption of materials Synthetics such as microfibers, with greater absorption capacity, durability and cleaning capacity have been replacing the former.
Durante el proceso de fregado de suelos, en muchos casos la capacidad de absorción de la fregona o del líquido limpiador no son suficientes para limpiar suciedad más incrustada. Es necesario aplicar métodos mecánicos a tal efecto, como rascadores, cuchillas, estropajos u otros elementos para desprender manchas, restos de comida o líquidos adheridos al suelo. During the floor scrubbing process, in many cases the absorption capacity of the mop or cleaning liquid is not sufficient to clean more embedded dirt. It is necessary to apply mechanical methods for this purpose, such as scrapers, blades, scourers or other elements to remove stains, food debris or liquids adhered to the ground.
Descripción de la invención Description of the invention
La innovación que nos ocupa permite realizar la tarea de fregado y facilitar la labor de desincrustar la suciedad adherida al suelo. La fregona que comprende esta invención está compuesta de hilos, cordones, trenzas o tiras de microfibra, material muy absorbente y con alto poder de limpieza, sobre las cuales, en su parte próxima al cabezal, se coloca una banda de tejido con propiedades abrasivas, idóneas para rascar sobre las manchas o suciedad adherida al suelo sin dañarlo. The innovation at hand allows us to perform the task of scrubbing and facilitate the work of descaling the dirt adhered to the ground. The mop that comprises this invention is composed of threads, cords, braids or strips of microfiber, very absorbent material and with high cleaning power, on which, in its part near the head, a band of fabric with abrasive properties is placed, suitable for scratching on stains or dirt adhering to the ground without damaging it.
Este mocho, presenta una dualidad de funciones. Por un lado permite realizar la tarea de fregado de una fregona de microfibra convencional al tiempo que cuando se desea, basta con aplicar la banda de tejido abrasivo sobre la mancha y frotar sobre ella con la presión ejercida con mismo cabezal de la fregona. El tejido abrasivo desincrusta la suciedad adherida de una forma fácil, sin cambiar de utensilio. This guy presents a duality of functions. On the one hand it allows to perform the task of scrubbing a conventional microfiber mop at the same time as when desired, just apply the abrasive fabric band on the stain and rub on it with the pressure exerted with the same mop head. The abrasive fabric descales the adhered dirt in an easy way, without changing the tool.
Dado que las tiras, cordones, trenzas, cuerdas o hilos torsionados de microfibra están compuestos de material sintético, son termosoldables. A su vez, la banda de tejido con propiedades abrasivas también es de naturaleza sintética termosoldable. Ambos elementos, microfibras y tejido abrasivo, se sueldan a través de unos puntos determinados por medio de ultrasonidos o ultrafrecuencia. Por este método novedoso, ambas partes quedan Since the strips, cords, braids, ropes or twisted microfiber strands are made of synthetic material, they are heat sealable. In turn, the fabric band with abrasive properties is also of a heat-weldable synthetic nature. Both elements, microfibers and abrasive fabric, are welded through certain points by means of ultrasound or ultrafrequency. By this novel method, both parties remain
perfectamente unidas por soldadura, de modo que la fricción ejercida sobre el suelo no las desprende, como podría ocurrir si se cosiera con aguja e hilo, dado que el hilo suele cortarse por la fricción ejercida contra el suelo. perfectly welded together, so that the friction exerted on the ground does not release them, as could be the case if sewn with a needle and thread, since the thread is usually cut by friction exerted against the ground.
Este mocho es perfecto para el fregado de cocinas, terrazas, comedores, etc. Zonas propicias a las manchas y suciedades adheridas que una fregona convencional no puede limpiar. This mocho is perfect for scrubbing kitchens, terraces, dining rooms, etc. Areas conducive to stains and adhered dirt that a conventional mop cannot clean.
Breve descripción de los diseños Figura 1.- Describe la base que conformará la parte absorbente y abrasiva de la fregona una vez confeccionada y ensamblada con su cabezal. Está formada por una lámina de hilos torsionados, cuerdas, trenzas, cordones o tiras de microfibra (1) absorbentes y Brief description of the designs Figure 1.- Describe the base that will form the absorbent and abrasive part of the mop once made and assembled with its head. It consists of a sheet of twisted threads, ropes, braids, cords or microfiber strips (1) absorbent and
termosoldables, con una dimensión aproximadamente rectangular, que conforman una pieza tupida de cordones paralelos, cuyos bordes exteriores pueden estar cortados (2) o doblados formado una lámina en zigzag(3) con una misma cuerda de inicio a fin de la pieza . Sobre este soporte base se superponen, mediante soldadura con ultrasonidos, una tira ancha de unos 20 cms. o dos tiras más estrechas de unos 8 centímetros de material abrasivo (4). Estas láminas abrasivas, soldadas a la lámina base por dos o más líneas de pespuntes (5), son las que unen todos los cordones dando consistencia y uniformidad al conjunto. heat-sealable, with an approximately rectangular dimension, that make up a dense piece of parallel cords, whose outer edges can be cut (2) or folded formed a zigzag sheet (3) with the same starting rope at the end of the piece. Over this base support, a wide strip of about 20 cm is superimposed by ultrasonic welding. or two narrower strips of about 8 centimeters of abrasive material (4). These abrasive sheets, welded to the base sheet by two or more stitching lines (5), are the ones that join all the cords giving consistency and uniformity to the whole.
Figura 2.- Describe una vista en planta de la pieza de la pieza figura 1 confeccionada y ensamblada a su cabezal. Los extremos libres de las láminas abrasivas se han unido obteniendo así una forma circular (6). Los cordones que no han quedado unidos a la lámina abrasiva están libres, con facilidad de movimiento para recoger suciedad y adaptarse mejor a zonas difíciles (7). Por el canal estrecho intermedio entre las dos láminas abrasivas que configuran la madeja, se ha ensamblado el cabezal de plástico (8) mediante una brida en forma de "U". La lámina queda así sujeta al cabezal y por su lado opuesto se unirá el mango. Con esta disposición en forma circular, se realiza el fregado convencional. Figure 2.- Describe a plan view of the piece of the piece figure 1 made and assembled to its head. The free ends of the abrasive sheets have been joined thus obtaining a circular shape (6). The cords that have not been attached to the abrasive sheet are free, with ease of movement to collect dirt and adapt better to difficult areas (7). Through the narrow intermediate channel between the two abrasive sheets that make up the skein, the plastic head (8) has been assembled by means of a "U" shaped flange. The sheet is thus attached to the head and on its opposite side the handle will be joined. With this circular arrangement, conventional scrubbing is performed.
Figura 3.- Describe la vista de perfil de la fregona terminada. Se observa como el área abrasiva (9) se encuentra próxima al cabezal de la fregona y los cordones quedan libres por la parte opuesta al mismo. Figure 3.- Describe the profile view of the finished mop. It is observed how the abrasive area (9) is close to the mop head and the cords are free on the opposite side.
Figura 4.- Durante la maniobra de eliminación de manchas, se dispone el mango en un ángulo inclinado sobre la vertical, lo que permite que la parte abrasiva de la fregona contacte sobre el suelo y se pueda frotar sobre las manchas (10). Descripción de la invención (objeto) Figure 4.- During the stain removal maneuver, the handle is arranged at an angle inclined over the vertical, which allows the abrasive part of the mop to contact the floor and rub on the stains (10). Description of the invention (object)
Tal y como se ha descrito en las figuras de los dibujos, obtenemos tres partes bien As described in the figures of the drawings, we get three parts well
diferenciadas en la fregona. La parte superior o cabezal que sirve para unir el mango con la lámina de tejido, la cual en su parte próxima al cabezal presenta una franja abrasiva y en su parte inferior unos hilos, trenzas, cordones o tiras de microfibra. Con un suave movimiento rotatorio del mango sobre la vertical, conseguimos que la fregona se disponga en forma circular. La parte abrasiva quedaría vista en la parte superior y en la parte inferior, en contacto con el suelo, quedarían la microfibras absorbentes. Se procede así a la maniobra de limpieza, con las ventajas de cubrir un área mayor, acceder mejor zonas difíciles. differentiated in the mop. The upper part or head that serves to join the handle with the tissue sheet, which in its part next to the head has an abrasive strip and in its lower part threads, braids, cords or microfiber strips. With a gentle rotary movement of the handle on the vertical, we get the mop to be arranged in a circular shape. The abrasive part would be seen in the upper part and in the part lower, in contact with the ground, would be the absorbent microfibers. This proceeds to the cleaning maneuver, with the advantages of covering a larger area, better access difficult areas.
Por otro lado, disponiendo la fregona en forma de abanico, conseguimos que la zona abrasiva quede en contacto con el suelo sobre la mancha. Frotando ligeramente con la ayuda del movimiento del mango conseguiremos hacer saltar la mancha con facilidad, sin agacharse y sin dañar el suelo. On the other hand, by arranging the fan-shaped mop, we get the abrasive area to be in contact with the soil on the stain. By rubbing lightly with the help of the movement of the handle we will be able to make the stain jump easily, without bending down and without damaging the ground.
En una sola fregona tenemos una dualidad de funciones, fácil de cambiar de una función a otra y más eficaz en la limpieza. In a single mop we have a duality of functions, easy to change from one function to another and more effective in cleaning.
