Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Wischtuch mit einer Randverstärkung zur Verwendung mit einem Reinigungsgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a wipe with an edge reinforcement for use with a cleaning device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Wischtücher zur Fußbodennaßreinigung, die zusammen mit einem Schrubber verwendet werden, sind in vielfältiger Form bekannt. Sie bestehen aus den unterschiedlichsten MateriaLien wie Baumwolle, Vlies, SchwammvLies und Lederersatzstoffe und werden sowohl von Hand geführt, als auch um ein Reinigungsgerät, zum Beispiel Schrubber, herumgeschlungen. Diese Art der Reinigung des Fußbodens befriedigt die Hausfrau schon seit Langem nicht mehr. Insbesondere das umständliche HerumschLingen des feuchten Wischtuches um ein Reinigungsgerät ist äußerst unangenehm.Wipes for wet floor cleaning, which are used together with a scrubbing brush, are known in many forms. They consist of a wide variety of materials such as cotton, fleece, sponge fleece and leather substitutes and are both guided by hand and looped around a cleaning device, such as a scrubber. This way of cleaning the floor has not been satisfying the housewife for a long time. In particular, the cumbersome looping of the wet wipe around a cleaning device is extremely uncomfortable.

Die Erfindung geht nun davon aus, der Hausfrau im Zusammenwirken mit einem entsprechend präparierten Reinigungsgerät diese unangenehme Arbeit zu erleichtern. Insbesondere die HaLterung des Wischtuches am Reinigungsgerät aber auch die weitere Funktionsfähigkeit und HaLtbarkeit soll verbessert werden.The invention is based on the assumption that the housewife, in cooperation with an appropriately prepared cleaning device, can make this unpleasant job easier. In particular, the retention of the wipe on the cleaning device, but also the further functionality and durability should be improved.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.This is achieved according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dadurch wird eine höhere Steifigkeit des Wischtuches erreicht, so daß ein störungsfreies Arbeiten möglich ist. Das Wischtuch breitet sich immer schön der Breite nach aus. Die Standfestigkeit wird deutlich erhöht.This results in a higher rigidity of the wipe, so that trouble-free work is possible. The wipe always spreads nicely across the width. The stability is significantly increased.

Weitere AusgestaLtungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. So wird durch die Mittenverstärkung erreicht, daß sich das Wischtuch exakt in die Press- beziehungsweise Wringeinrichtung hineinziehen läßt und insbesondere nach ausgepreßtem Zusatand auch wieder ohne sich aufzufaLten ausstoßen Läßt.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims. The center reinforcement ensures that the wipe can be pulled exactly into the pressing or wringing device and, especially after being pressed out, can be ejected again without being noticed.

Durch die Anordnung der KnopfLöcher beziehungsweise der Befestigungsnocken in unsymmetrischen Abständen zur Mittellinie wird eine sehr gleichmäßige FaLtung des Wischtuches für den Preß- beziehungsweise Wringvorgang ermöglicht. Eine weitere Verbesserung bringt der richtungsmäßige VerLauf der Befestigungsnocken jeweils in Richtung der gedachten Tangente an die Kurve der Zugeinrichtung.The arrangement of the button holes or the fastening cams at asymmetrical distances from the center line enables the wiping cloth to be folded very evenly for the pressing or wringing process. A further improvement is the directional course of the fastening cams in the direction of the imaginary tangent to the curve of the traction device.

Die pilzförmige AusbiLdung der Befestigungsnocken mit breitem Kopfende ermöglicht die direkte Verschweißung der Randverstärkung mit Befestigungsnocken und Wischtuch. Dadurch wird eine besonders Lange Lebensdauer des Wischtuchs erreicht. ALs Rand- und Mittenverstärkung wird dabei vorzugsweise ein PVC-Material verwendet, das bei dem Schweißvorgang direkt in das Wischtuchmaterial einschmilzt und so eine praktisch homogene Verbindung geschaffen wird. Das Wischtuch kann dadurch sehr stark auf Zug belastet werden und hat zum anderen den angenehmen VorteiL, sich beim Ausstoßen aus der Preß- beziehungsweise Wringeinrichtung sicher zu entfalten.The mushroom-shaped design of the fastening cams with a wide head end enables the edge reinforcement to be welded directly to the fastening cams and wiping cloth. This ensures a particularly long service life for the wipe. A PVC material is preferably used as the edge and center reinforcement, which melts directly into the wipe material during the welding process and thus creates a practically homogeneous connection. As a result, the wiping cloth can be subjected to a great deal of tension and, on the other hand, has the pleasant advantage of being able to unfold safely when it is ejected from the pressing or wringing device.

Ein AusführungsbeispieL der Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is set out below explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  • Figur 2 eine Unteransicht auf das Wischtuch mit Befestigungsnocken aber ohne Wischkopf,
  • Figur 3 einen Schnitt gemäß der Linie III - III in Figur 2,
  • Figur 4 eine Ansicht gemäß der Richtung IV in Figur 3 und
  • Figur 5 eine Draufsicht gemäß V in Figur 4.
Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a wiping cloth with an indicated wiping head of a cleaning device,
  • FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of the wipe with fastening cams but without a wiper head,
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along the line III-III in FIG. 2,
  • Figure 4 is a view in the direction IV in Figure 3 and
  • 5 shows a plan view according to V in FIG. 4.

Ein Reinigungsgerät 1 mit Wischkopf 2 und Preßeinrichtung 3 ist mit einem Wischtuch 4 bestückt. Das Wischtuch 4 kann über eine Zugeinrichtung 5 in die Preßeinrichtung hineingezogen werden. Die Zugeinrichtung 5 verläuft dabei bogenförmig bis an den Randbereich 6 des Wischkopfs 2.A cleaning device 1 with wiping head 2 and pressing device 3 is equipped with a wipe 4. The wipe 4 can be pulled into the pressing device via a pulling device 5. The pulling device 5 runs in an arc shape up to the edge region 6 of the wiper head 2.

Das Wischtuch 4 hat auf der einen Seite einen rechteckigen Zuschnitt, während es stirnseitig zum Reinigungsgerät bogenförmig ausLäuft. Es übersteht etwas die Breite des Wischkopfs 2. Etwa in der Breite des Wischkopfs 2 ist stirnseitig 7 eine Randverstärkung 8 vorgesehen. Auf diese Randverstärkung 8 stößt etwa in der Mitte des Wischtuchs 4 T-förmig eine Mittenverstärkung 9 drauf. Die Randverstärkung 8 und die Mittenverstärkung 9 sind als PVC-Streifen ausgebildet, wobei die Mittenverstärkung 9 etwa ein Drittel schmäler als die Randverstärkung 8 ist.The wiping cloth 4 has a rectangular cut on one side, while it runs out in the form of an arc on the face side of the cleaning device. The width of the wiper head 2 protrudes somewhat. An edge reinforcement 8 is provided on the end face 7 approximately at the width of the wiper head 2. A center reinforcement 9 bumps into this edge reinforcement 8 approximately in the middle of the wipe 4 in a T-shape. The edge reinforcement 8 and the center reinforcement 9 are designed as PVC strips, the center reinforcement 9 being approximately one third narrower than the edge reinforcement 8.

In der Randverstärkung 8 sind pilzförmige Befestigungsnocken 10 angebracht. Diese Befestigungsnocken 10 bestehen aus einem breiten Kopfende 11, einem schmalen Schaft 12, der in einen Haltewulst 13 übergeht und zwei Versteifungsrippen 14. Die Befestigungsnocken 10 sind in unsymmetrischen Abständen 15, 16, 17, 18 zur MitteLLinie 19 angeordnet. Dabei ist die Differenz der Abstände zueinander bezüglich der Mittellinie zumindest so groß, daß im eingezogenen Zustand des Wischtuches die Befestigungsnocken berührungsfrei hintereinander Liegen. Im ausgefahrenen Zustand des Wischtuchs 4, also in der in Figur 1 dargestellten Lage, Liegen die Längsachsen 20 der Befestigungsnocken 10 als Tangente an der MitteLLinie 21 der Zugeinrichtung 5.Mushroom-shaped fastening cams 10 are attached in the edge reinforcement 8. These mounting cams 10 consist of a wide head end 11, a narrow shaft 12 which merges into a retaining bead 13 and two stiffening ribs 14. The mounting cams 10 are arranged at asymmetrical distances 15, 16, 17, 18 from the center line 19. The difference between the distances from one another with respect to the center line is at least so great that the fastening cams lie one behind the other without contact when the wiping cloth is drawn in. In the extended state of the wipe 4, that is to say in the position shown in FIG. 1, the longitudinal axes 20 of the fastening cams 10 lie as a tangent to the center line 21 of the pulling device 5.

Die Befestigung der Befestigungsnocken 10 an der Zugeinrichtung 5 erfolgt über LangLöcher 22 in einer biegsamen Stange 23 durch Hinterrasten des Haltewulsts 13.The fastening cams 10 are fastened to the pulling device 5 via elongated holes 22 in a flexible rod 23 by latching the retaining bead 13 behind.
