Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Reinigen und Polieren von Oberflächen, wobei auf der Außenseite eines handschuhartig ausgebildeten Trägers Faserstücke aufgebracht sind, die aus Kunststoffasern bestehen und mit einem Ende am Träger befestigt und mit ihrem anderen Ende frei vom Träger abstehen, wobei auf der von den Faserstücken abgewandten Seite des Trägers eine weitgehend feuchtigkeitsundurchlässige Kunststoffolie und ein weiteres Flächengebilde aufgebracht sind.The invention relates to a device for cleaning and polishing surfaces, fiber pieces are applied to the outside of a glove-like carrier, which consist of plastic fibers and attached at one end to the carrier and with their other end freely from the carrier, on which of the A largely moisture-impermeable plastic film and a further flat structure are applied to the side of the carrier facing away from the fiber pieces.

Aus der DE-U-90 10 901 ist eine Einrichtung zum Reinigen und Trocknen von Oberflächen bekannt, bei der zum Trocknen ein saugfähiges und wischfestes Material vorgesehen ist. Reinigen und Polieren ist mit dieser Einrichtung jedoch nicht möglich.From DE-U-90 10 901 a device for cleaning and drying surfaces is known, in which an absorbent and smudge-proof material is provided for drying. However, cleaning and polishing is not possible with this device.

In der DE-C-730 258 ist ein Putz- und Reinigungshandschuh beschrieben, dessen beide Außenseiten durch Zusammenfalten eines durchgehenden Zuschnittes gebildet und damit aus dem gleichen Material hergestellt sind. Damit sind beide Oberflächen auch nur zu einem einheitlichen Zweck einsetzbar. Zum gleichzeitigen Reinigen und Polieren ist dieser bekannte Handschuh daher nicht einsetzbar.DE-C-730 258 describes a cleaning and cleaning glove, the two outer sides of which are formed by folding together a continuous blank and are therefore made of the same material. This means that both surfaces can only be used for a single purpose. This known glove cannot be used for simultaneous cleaning and polishing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, mit der ein Reinigen und Polieren von beliebigen Flächen leicht und bequem ermöglicht wird.The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which cleaning and polishing of any surface is easily and conveniently possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das weitere Flächengebilde aus einem Gewebe, Gewirke od.dgl. Werkstoff besteht, daß die Kunststoffasern verhältnismäßig weich ausgebildet sind und vorzugsweise aus Polyacryl bestehen, daß die Kunststoffolie aus Polyäthylen gebildet und einerseits mit dem Träger und andererseits mit dem Gewebe od.dgl. zusammenkaschiert ist, und daß die beiden Außenseiten des handschuhartige ausgebildeten Trägers unterschiedlich gekennzeichnet sind.This object is achieved in that the further fabric made of a woven fabric, knitted fabric or the like. Material is that the plastic fibers are relatively soft and preferably consist of polyacrylic, that the plastic film is made of polyethylene and the like with the carrier on the one hand and the fabric on the other hand. is laminated together, and that the two outer sides of the glove-like carrier are marked differently.

Zum Auftragen von Reinigungs- und Poliermitteln hat sich eine derartige Einrichtung hervorragend bewährt, da diese Mittel in den Fasern verbleiben und somit vollständig verwertet werden können. Darüber hinaus wird durch die eingebrachte Folie ein Beschmutzen der Hände vermieden. Das auf der Handschuh-Innenseite angebrachte Gewebe oder dergleichen wirkt sich dagegen hautsympatisch aus und vermeidet ein Schwitzen der Hände. Durch die weiche Ausbildung der Kunststoffasern aus vorzugsweise Polyacryl, ist besonders das Polieren sehr effektiv. Die unterschiedliche Kennzeichnung der beiden Außenseiten des handschuhartig ausgebildeten Trägers erleichtert den Gebrauch der Einrichtung, da damit ohne Verwechslungsgefahr die eine Seite zum Auftragen des Poliermittels und die andere Seite zum Nachpolieren einsetzbar ist.Such a device has proven itself extremely well for the application of cleaning and polishing agents, since these agents remain in the fibers and can therefore be fully utilized. In addition, soiling of the hands is avoided by the introduced film. The fabric or the like on the inside of the glove, on the other hand, has a skin-friendly effect and prevents sweating of the hands. The soft design of the synthetic fibers, preferably made of polyacrylic, makes polishing particularly effective. The different identification of the two outer sides of the glove-like carrier facilitates the use of the device, since one side can be used for applying the polishing agent and the other side for polishing without risk of confusion.

Diese Kennzeichnung der beiden Seiten kann erfindungsgemäß dadurch erfolgen, daß die auf den beiden Außenseiten des Trägers aufgebrachten Kunststoffasern unterschiedlich eingefärbt sind.This identification of the two sides can be done according to the invention in that the plastic fibers applied to the two outer sides of the carrier are colored differently.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

Fig.1
eine Ansicht eines Polierhandschuhs mit eingefaßtem Bund und Aufhängelasche,
Fig.2
eine Ansicht eines weiteren Polierhandschuhs der zusätzlich an seinem offenen Ende mit einem Strickbund versehen ist und
Fig.3
einen Schnitt durch die eine Wand eines Polier-Handschuhs in vergrößertem Maßstab.
The invention is illustrated in the drawing using two exemplary embodiments. Show:
Fig. 1
a view of a polishing glove with edged waistband and hanging tab,
Fig. 2
a view of another polishing glove which is additionally provided with a knitted cuff at its open end and
Fig. 3
a section through the wall of a polishing glove on an enlarged scale.

Mit 1 ist in Fig.1 eine Einrichtung bezeichnet, die in Form eines Handschuhs ausgebildet ist, einen Träger 2 aufweist, der aus einem Gewirke aus Kunststoff-Fasern besteht und an diesem befestigte Kunststoff-Fasern 3 aufweist. Diese Kunststoff-Fasern 3 bestehen aus Polyacryl und sind besonders weich ausgebildet. Sie sind mit ihrem einen Ende in nicht dargestellter Weise an dem Träger 2 angeklebt. Am offenen Ende ist der Handschuh mit einem Band 8 eingefaßt und trägt eine Aufhängeschlaufe 9.1 in FIG. 1 denotes a device which is designed in the form of a glove, has a carrier 2 which consists of a knitted fabric made of plastic fibers and has plastic fibers 3 fastened thereon. These plastic fibers 3 consist of polyacrylic and are particularly soft. They are glued to the carrier 2 with one end in a manner not shown. At the open end, the glove is edged with a band 8 and carries a hanging loop 9.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.2 ist am offenen Ende eines Handschuhs 10 ein Strickbund 11 angeordnet, durch den der Handschuh besser an der Hand hält.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, a knitted cuff 11 is arranged at the open end of a glove 10, by means of which the glove holds better on the hand.

Der Aufbau der Wände ist bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen gleich.The structure of the walls is the same in both embodiments.

Auf die von den Kunststoffasern abgekehrte Innenseite des Trägers 2 ist eine Kunststoffolie 4 aufkaschiert, die widerum ein Gewebe 5 trägt. Anstelle des Gewebes ist auch ein Gewirke, ein Vlies oder ähnliches einsetzbar; es muß nur jeweils eine feste Verbindung zwischen der Folie und dem aufkaschierten Flächengebilde hergestellt sein.A plastic film 4, which in turn carries a fabric 5, is laminated onto the inside of the carrier 2 facing away from the plastic fibers. Instead of the fabric, a knitted fabric, a fleece or the like can also be used; it only has to be a firm connection between the film and the laminated fabric.

Für die Kunststoffolie kommt zweckmäßigerweise eine Polyäthylenfolie zum Einsatz, da diese sich leicht verarbeiten läßt und verhältnismäßig preisgünstig ist.A polyethylene film is expediently used for the plastic film, since this is easy to process and is relatively inexpensive.

Die Fasern 3 haben auf den beiden Seiten des Handschuhs 1 bzw. 10 unterschiedliche Farben, wodurch die eine Handschuhseite zum Auftragen eines Poliermittels auf eine zu polierende Fläche und die andere Handschuhseite zum Nachpolieren verwendet werden kann, ohne daß diese verwechselt werden.The fibers 3 have different colors on the two sides of the glove 1 and 10, as a result of which one side of the glove for applying a polishing agent to one surface to be polished and the other side of the glove can be used for polishing without being mixed up.

Anstelle der unterschiedlichen Farbe der Fasern 3 ist jedoch auch eine andere Kennzeichnung der beiden Seiten möglich.Instead of the different color of the fibers 3, however, a different identification of the two sides is also possible.
