Description

DUST REMOVER FOR REMOVING DUST, HAIR OR OTHER LOOSE PARTICLES FROM OBJECTS SUCH AS CLOTHES, TEXTILES, FURNITURE ETC
The present invention relates to a dust remover for removing dust, hair or other loose particles from the surface of objects such as clothes, textiles, furniture etc, comprising a substantially cylindrical roller which is rotatably supported on a holder, the peripheral surface of said roller being provided with an adhesive layer for removing said dust particles etc by adhesion when the roller is brought into rol¬ ling contact with the surface of the object to be cleaned. Dust removers of the kind mentioned are pre¬ viously known and referred to on the market as "clothe-care rollers, dust rollers" etc. Such dust removers which provide an efficient means for its in¬ tended purpose, include a substantially cylindrical roller mounted on a holder, said roller having wound thereon in a number of layers a strip of paper which on its outwardly facing surface is coated with a non-drying, highly adhesive substance. When brought into rolling contact with an object to be cleaned, e.g. an article of clothing, dust particles, hair etc on the surface of the object will get stuck on the adhesive layer of the roller, thus providing a most efficient cleaning of the object. When not in use, the adhesive surface must be protected in order not to become saturated with dust particles and also to avoid unintentional adhesion to objects in the vicin¬ ity of the roller. In the most common dust removers of this kind available on the market, this usually is achieved by wrapping a protective glossy piece of paper or film around the roller surface or by passing a protective tubular cover over the roller from the end thereof. A disadvantage -fn using a glossy piece of paper to protect the adhesive layer of the roller is that said piece of covering paper must be removed 5 from the roller before using it for cleaning purpose, and must be stored and then rewrapped around the rol¬ ler when the used part of the adhesive paper has been torn away. When removing the protective paper it runs a risk of being damaged, as is also the case during
10 storage, particularly if it is stored in a pocket or the like. Even if the use of a separate, tubular pro¬ tective cover to be passed over the roller involves a more simple procedure, a remaining disadvantage is that during the use of the roller for cleaning pur-
15 pose the tubular cover must be stored in a suitable way and be reintroduced on the roller when the clean¬ ing operation has been finished and the used adhesive paper strip has been torn off. Still another disad¬ vantage of the tubular cover that it must be passed
20 over the roller from one end thereof, which means that it cannot be used for such dust removers wherein the roller is mounted between the legs of a fork-like holder. A further disadvantage is that it easily ad¬ heres to the roller surface, which makes it more dif-
25 ficult or even impossible to remove the cover when the roller shall be used.
According to another previously known type of dust removers the cylindrical dust roller is enclαsed within a protective casing comprising one tray-like
30 part having two end walls in which the roller is ro¬ tatably supported and a cover divided into two sepa¬ rate pieces, each one being swingably connected to the tray-like member by means of a pair of links, for swinging said cover pieces in opposite directions in
35. the longitudinal direction of the roller between a position above the tray-like member, thereby enclos¬ ing said roller, and a position underneath the tray-- -like member, protruding perpendicularly therefrom thereby forming a handle for holding the dust remover during use thereof.
According to another known dust remover of a similar type, the cover is made in one piece having a tray-like configuration, one end of said cover being swingably connected to the tray-like member support- ing said roller, for swinging movement between a po¬ sition in which the two tray-like members together form an enclosure for the roller, and a position in which the cover is swung 180° longitudinally with respect to the roller and in this position forming an axially protruding handle.
Being advantageous in that the protective cover for the roller does not have to be removed and stored somewhere during use of the roller for cleaning pur¬ pose, the dust removers described above are of a rather complicated design including, in the first case mentioned, a tray-like holder for the roller, two separate cover-pieces, two pairs of links having one end pivotally connected to a cover piece and the opposite end pivotally connected to the holder, and in the second case a tray-like holder for the roller, a tray-like cover, one end of which being pivotally connected to one end of the holder and being provided with means for keeping the cover fixed either in a. closed position enclosing the roller or in a fully open position forming a handle. This results in dif¬ ficulties as well as respect to manufacture and as¬ sembly of the dust remover as with respect to the use thereof for its purpose.
One object of the present invention is to pro- vide a dust remover of the kind mentioned initially
-^_ ET~ and referred to above, which does not involve the disadvantages discussed above although including a cover permanently attached to the holder of the rol¬ ler, said cover being easily adjustable into a posi- tion in which the roller may be brought into contact with an object to be cleaned, and which in simple manner may be brought into a position for protecting the adhesive layer of the roller when the cleaning operation has been finished. Another object of the invention is to proved a dust remover having a simple design which may be ma¬ nufactured and assembled without difficulties and which is easy to use.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved by designing a dust remover with the fea¬ tures defined in the appended claims.
The invention will now be -described in greater detail with reference to embodiments illustrated on the accompanying drawings, in which FIG 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a dust remover according to the invention, illust¬ rating a position in which the adhesive surface of the roller is completely enclosed in a pro¬ tective casing, FIG 2 is a similar longitudinal sectional view through the dust remover, illustrating a posi¬ tion in which the cover part of said casing is moved into an open position,
FIG 3 is a section as indicated at A - A in FIG 1,
FIG 4 is a section as indicated at B - B in FIG 2,
FIG 5 illustrates an alternative design of the guiding arrangement for guiding the relative ro- tational movement between the parts of the pro
OM tective casing,
FIG 6 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of a dust remover according to the invention, the dust remover being shown in' open position, ready for use, and
FIG 7 is a perspective view of the dust remover illustrated in FIG 1 shown in a closed position completely enclosing the dust collecting roller. The dust remover illustrated in the drawings comprises a cylindrical roller 1 consisting of a tu¬ bular core 2 which by means of radially extending flanges 3 is connected with a hub 4, each end of which being provided with an axially protruding stub shaft 5. On the peripheral surface of the tubular core 2 are wound a number of layers 6 of a paper strip coated on its outwardly facing surface with a layer of highly adhesive, non-drying glue. The roller 1 thus is provided with an adhesive peripheral outer surface to which dust particles, hair etc adhere when the roller 1 is brought into rolling contact with an object fouled with such particles e.g. clothes, tex¬ tiles etc.
The roller 1 is supported by a holder comprising a primary casing part 7 in the form of a tray-like, substantially half cylindrical member 9, said casing being provided at its ends with end walls 8. The stub shafts 5 protruding axially from the roller 1 are mounted in grooves or slots provided in said end walls 8, said grooves or slots preferably being de- signed so that the stub shafts 5 will slide into a locked position within said grooves or slots due to a small pressure force exerted on the roller 1 in the direction towards the bottom of said grooves or slots. The grooves or slots are designed so as to provide a resilient locking function for blocking the falling out from the casing part 7 when the roller is used. In the embodiment shown in FIG 1 - 4, said end walls protrude in the radial direction beyond the outer surface of the half cylindrical tray-like mem- ber 9, the surfaces of said protruding portions of the end walls 8 facing each other being provided with half circular grooves 10 forming guide grooves for a second casing part 11 which may be slidably displaced within said grooves for rotational movement with respect to said primary casing part 7.
The secondary casing part 11 comprises a sub¬ stantially half cylindrical shell having a width sub¬ stantially corresponding to the distance between the grooves 10 in said end walls 8, except for a certain clearance. As mentioned, the secondary casing part 11 is displaceable in the guiding arrangement formed by the grooves 10 and may by turning it around the cy¬ lindrical shell 9 of the primary casing part 7 be brought into the position shown in FIG 3 enclosing the peripheral surface of the roller, or into the po¬ sition shown in FIG 4, completely displaced into the grooves 10 enabling a part of the cylindrical, peri¬ pheral surface of the roller 1 to be brought into rolling contact with the surface of an object e.g.. an articles of clothe, to be cleaned from dust, hair or other loose particles. The peripheral length of the secondary casing part 11 should be long enough for making its edges 12 extend a certain distance into the grooves 10 when said secondary casing part or co- ver 11 is in the closing position indicated in FIG 3. The peripheral length should also be long enough to allow the edges 12 of the secondary cover 11 to pro¬ trude a certain distance from the primary casing part 7 when said secondary casing part or cover 11 is ful- ly displaced into the grooves as indicated in FIG 4. The longitudinal edges 12 should preferably be shar¬ pened for facilitating tearing off a paper strip which has been clogged with dust particles. Alterna¬ tively, it is possible to having the edges of. the primary casing part 7 sharpened instead of the edges of the secondary casing part 11, or to sharpen the edges of both casing parts 7 and 11. The primary and secondary casing parts 7, 11 may preferably be locked with respect to each other in the open position shown in FIG 3 and in the closed position shown in FIG 4 by means of locking means of the snap-action type ar¬ ranged between said casing parts. FIG 5 illustrates an alternative guiding arrangement for the rotational movement between the primary and secondary casing parts 7, 11. In this arrangement the end walls 8 ex¬ tend in the radial direction only to the inside sur¬ face of the half cylindrical shell 9 of the primary casing part 7. Instead said shell 9 protrudes beyond the end walls 8 forming guiding edges 13 cooperating with corresponding guide grooves 14 at the ends of the secondary casing part 11.
The primary casing part 7 is preferably rigidly connected with, a handle protruding in the axial di¬ rection of the roller as indicated in FIG 1 - 7. According to an embodiment not illustrated in the drawings, the handle may have the form of an U-shaped gable having two parallel protruding branches, the free ends of which being rigidly connected with the end walls 8, the opposite ends of said branches being interconnected by a bar etc from which the handle ex¬ tends perpendicularly with respect to the roller.
FIG 6 and 7 illustrate a further embodiment according to the present invention. In this embodi¬ ments also the secondary casing part 11 has the form of a substantially half cylindrical shell provided
___O P with end walls 81 at the ends thereof. The internal dimensions of the secondary casing part 11 are so much larger than the outside dimensions of the prima¬ ry casing part 7 that a small gap is formed, thus providing a clearance between the casing part 7 and the casing part 11 enabling relative rotational move¬ ment without interference. In the embodiment illust¬ rated in FIGs 6 and 7 the relative rotational move¬ ment is not obtained by means of circular guiding grooves as in the embodiments previously described. Instead the secondary casing part 11 is rotatably supported at one side by the stub shaft 5 protruding through end wall 8 of the primary casing part 7, or by the outer surface of an angular collar surrounding said stub shaft 5 on the outside end of wall 8. At the other end the secondary casing part 11 is rota¬ tably supported on the handle 15 protruding axially from the corresponding end of the primary casing part 7. For this purpose the secondary casing part 11 is provided with a partly tubular attachment means act¬ ing as a kind of bushing having a C-like cross sec¬ tion with a gap slightly smaller than the outer dia¬ meter of the corresponding part of said handle 15, for enabling attachment thereto by pressing it over the handle in the transversal direction thereof, thus providing a rotational support for the secondary cas¬ ing part 11 on said handle 15. The embodiment accord¬ ing to FIGs 6 and 7 correspond in other respects with the embodiment previously described and will thus not be described in further detail with reference to FIGs 6 and 7. The dust remover illustrated in FIGs 6 and 7 is advantageous from manufacturing point of view, and due to this it represents the preferred embodiment of the invention. The invention is not limited to the embodiments
- jHE^ described above but may be subject ot variations within the scope of the appended claims.
