A support (13) for the handle (9) can be pivoted by the base out of a tilted-up normal position on the handle (9) to an oblique supporting position between the frame (1) and the handle (9), in which it is supported, with the handle (9) slightly inclined, against an abutment (23) on the frame (1). The supporting arrangement is designed to be of such a stiffness that the cleaning device can be erected with a free-standing handle. If the cleaning device is lent against a wall by the handle, the handle is unable to slide to either side. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungsgerät, insbesondere für Böden, mit einem einen weichen, insbesondere fellartigen, Bezug haltenden, flachen, insbesondere länglich-rechteckigen, Rahmen, an dem mit einem Kardangelenk ein Stiel befestigt ist.The invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular for floors, with a soft, in particular fur-like, cover-holding, flat, in particular oblong-rectangular frame to which a handle is attached with a cardan joint.

Ein solches Reinigungsgerät ist durch Benutzung bekannt.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Handhabung dieses Reinigungsgerätes zu erleichtern.Such a cleaning device is known from use.
The invention has for its object to facilitate the handling of this cleaning device.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist zu diesem Zweck eine aus einer Grundstellung an dem Rahmen oder dem Stiel heraus in eine schräge Stützstellung zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Stiel verschwenkbare Stütze für den Stiel vorgesehen.According to the invention, a support for the handle, which can be pivoted from a basic position on the frame or the handle into an oblique support position between the frame and the handle, is provided for this purpose.

Mit der Stütze läßt sich verhindern, daß der kardangelenkig mit dem genannten Rahmen verbundene und infolgedessen in keiner Richtung von dem Rahmen gehaltene Stiel nach einer Seite abrutscht und umkippt, wenn er an eine Wand gelehnt wird.
Es sind sogar, weiter unten angegebene, Ausgestaltungen möglich, mit denen das Reinigungsgerät mit freistehendem Stiel aufgestellt werden kann.With the support it can be prevented that the gimbal connected to the said frame and consequently not held in any direction by the frame sticks to one side and tips over when it is leaned against a wall.
There are even configurations given below, with which the cleaning device can be set up with a free-standing handle.

Vorzugsweise ist die Stütze an dem Stiel angelenkt, in der Grundstellung nach oben an den Stiel herangeklappt und in der Stützstellung bei leicht übergeneigtem Stiel gegen ein Widerlager an dem Rahmen abgestützt.
Die Anbringung der Stütze und zugleich ihres Gelenkes an dem Stiel als dem primär bewegten Teil ist günstiger, als den über das Kardangelenk bewegten Rahmen zusätzlich mit dem Gewicht der Stütze zu belasten. An dem Stiel ist auch genug Platz, die Stütze in der Grundstellung daran anzulegen.
Die Stütze könnte an dem Widerlager auch eingehakt und auf Zug beansprucht sein. Der Stiel wäre dann nach der anderen Seite übergeneigt.The support is preferably articulated on the handle, folded upward on the handle in the basic position and supported against an abutment on the frame in the supporting position with the handle slightly inclined.
The attachment of the support and at the same time its joint on the handle as the primary moving part is more favorable than additionally burdening the frame moved via the cardan joint with the weight of the support. There is also enough space on the handle to place the support on it in the basic position.
The support could also be hooked onto the abutment and subjected to tension. The handle would then be inclined to the other side.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die, vorzugsweise als etwa U-förmiger Bügel gestaltete, Stütze in ihrem Gelenk nur um eine Achse schwenkbar und sonst starr gehalten. Sie läßt sich dann leichter verschwenken und kann bei entsprechender Anordnung auch mit der Fußspitze betätigt werden.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the support, which is preferably designed as an approximately U-shaped bracket, can only be pivoted about an axis in its joint and is otherwise held rigidly. It can then be pivoted more easily and can also be operated with the tip of the foot if arranged appropriately.

Die Lagerung in einem solchen Gelenk ist im übrigen besonders vorteilhaft in Kombination mit einem Widerlager, an dem die Stütze in einer zu ihrer Schwenkachse parallelen, langgestreckten Berührung gehalten ist, etwa in dem Winkel eines gekanteten Bleches.
Damit wird die Abstützung des Stieles durch die an dem Stiel angelenkte Stütze winkelsteif, und das Reinigungsgerät kann mit freistehendem Stiel unabhängig von einer Wand o. dgl. aufgestellt werden. Eine an dem Rahmen schwenkbar und sonst starr gelagerte Stütze kann den Stiel auch winkelsteif halten, wenn sie an diesem nur mit einer Spitze o. dgl. in ein taschenförmiges Widerlager greift, so daß dem Widerlager keine Querbewegung gegenüber der Spitze o. dgl. möglich ist.The bearing in such a joint is also particularly advantageous in combination with an abutment on which the support is held in an elongated contact parallel to its pivot axis, for example at the angle of a folded sheet.
The support of the handle is thus angularly rigid by the support articulated on the handle, and the cleaning device can be set up with a free-standing handle independently of a wall or the like. A support which can be pivoted and is otherwise rigidly mounted on the frame can also hold the handle angularly rigid if it grips only with a tip or the like in a pocket-shaped abutment, so that the abutment does not have any transverse movement with respect to the tip or the like .

Vorzugsweise wird als das Widerlager eine Aufkantung eines Bleches des Rahmens benutzt, auf der in an sich bekannter Weise eine Blechnase eines zum Einsetzen des Rahmens in den Bezug dienenden Mechanismus' eingerastet ist.An upturn of a sheet metal of the frame is preferably used as the abutment, on which, in a manner known per se, a sheet metal nose of a mechanism serving to insert the frame into the cover is engaged.

Als weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Stütze an dem Stiel in einer Halterung angelenkt ist, die mit der gleichen Schraube befestigt ist, mit der in an sich bekannter Weise der Stiel in einer mit dem Kardangelenk verbundenen Klammer-Muffe befestigt ist.
Diese Lösung verlangt keine weiteren Vorkehrungen für die Befestigung. Sie erlaubt auch das Nachrüsten der vorhandenen Reinigungsgeräte mit der Stütze.
Die Halterung wird dabei in Anpassung an die Klammer-Muffe, an der sie anliegt, gewölbt sein und dadurch auch mit der Befestigung mittels nur einer Schraube einen sicheren Halt haben.
Zweckmäßigerweise schließen sich an einen solchermaßen gewölbten Mittelabschnitt der Halterung zwei abgewinkelte, parallele Wangen an, an denen als das Gelenk in fluchtenden Bohrungen die, nach innen gewinkelten, Enden des erwähnten U-förmigen Bügels stecken.As a further advantageous embodiment it is proposed that the support is articulated on the stem in a holder which is fastened with the same screw with which the stem is fastened in a known manner in a clamp sleeve connected to the universal joint.
This solution does not require any further precautions for attachment. It also allows the existing cleaning devices to be retrofitted with the support.
The holder will be arched to match the clamp sleeve on which it rests and will therefore have a secure hold even with the fastening by means of only one screw.
Advantageously, two such angled, parallel cheeks adjoin such a curved central section of the holder, on which the inwardly angled ends of the aforementioned U-shaped bracket are inserted as the joint in aligned bores.

Schließlich wird vorgeschlagen, daß die an dem Stiel angebrachte Stütze in ihrer Grundstellung durch eine Raste gehalten ist oder, vorzugsweise, durch eine, beim Verschwenken in Stützstellung weiter angespannte, Feder.
Die Betätigung der Stütze, insbesondere der in den erwähnten Vorzugsformen gestalteten Stütze, ist dann besonders einfach: Die Stütze braucht lediglich mit der Fußspitze niedergetreten und durch leichtes Überneigen des Stieles an dem Widerlager eingesetzt zu werden.Finally, it is proposed that the support attached to the handle is held in its basic position by a catch or, preferably, by a spring which is further tightened when pivoting into the support position.
The actuation of the support, in particular the support designed in the aforementioned preferred forms, is then particularly simple: the support only needs to be depressed with the tip of the foot and inserted on the abutment by slightly tilting the handle.

Die Zeichnungen geben ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wieder.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt ein Reinigungsgerät ohne Bezug in einem Ausschnitt in isometrischer Darstellung,
  • Fig. 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt aus Fig. 1 in Seitenansicht gemäß Pfeil 11.
The drawings show an embodiment of the invention.
  • 1 shows an isometric view of a cleaning device without a cover,
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail from FIG. 1 in a side view according to arrow 11.

Ein länglich-rechteckiger Rahmen 1 besteht in bekannter Weise aus zwei im wesentlichen U-förmigen Bügeln 2 und 3 aus Rundeisen, die in einem Gelenk 4 miteinander verbunden und in ihrer Normalstellung ferner durch eine Rastvorrichtung 5 zusammengehalten sind. In der Mitte des Rahmens 1 ist auf dem Bügel 2 ein Blech 6 angebracht. An diesem ist in einem Kardangelenk 7 eine Klammer-Muffe 8 für einen Stiel 9 befestigt. Eine Schraube 10 mit Flügelmutter 11 klemmt den Stiel 9 zwischen den beiden Muffenhälften ein.An elongated-rectangular frame 1 consists in a known manner of two substantially U-shaped brackets 2 and 3 made of round bars, which are connected to one another in a joint 4 and are also held together in their normal position by a latching device 5. In the middle of the frame 1, a sheet 6 is attached to the bracket 2. A clamp sleeve 8 for a handle 9 is fastened to this in a universal joint 7. A screw 10 with a wing nut 11 clamps the handle 9 between the two sleeve halves.

Zugleich ist mittels der Schraube 10 und Flügelmutter 11 eine Halterung 12 für eine Stütze 13 befestigt.At the same time, a bracket 12 for a support 13 is fastened by means of the screw 10 and wing nut 11.

Die Halterung 12 liegt auf der einen Muffenhälfte mit einem gewölbten Mittelabschnitt 14, an den sich zwei Wangen 15 anschliessen.
Die Stütze 13 hat die Gestalt eines rechtwinkligen U-förmigen Bügels und steckt mit zwei nach innen gewinkelten Enden 16 in Bohrungen der Wangen 15.
Eine mit Windungen auf dem einen Ende 16 angeordnete Feder 18 greift mit einem Arm auf die Stütze 13 und ist mit ihrem anderen Ende an dem Mittelabschnitt 14 der Halterung 12 in einer nicht gezeichneten Kerbe o. dgl. abgestützt. Sie könnte dort auch in einem Haken, einer Öse o. dgl. gehalten sein.The holder 12 is located on the one half of the sleeve with a curved central section 14, to which two cheeks 15 adjoin.
The support 13 has the shape of a right-angled U-shaped bracket and is inserted with two inwardly angled ends 16 into bores in the cheeks 15.
A spring 18 arranged with turns on one end 16 engages the support 13 with one arm and is supported with its other end on the central section 14 of the holder 12 in a notch or the like, not shown. It could also be held there in a hook, an eyelet or the like.

Wie in Fig. 1 gestrichelt dargestellt und durch den Pfeil 21 verdeutlicht, kann die Stütze 13 gegen die Kraft der Feder 18 herabgeschwenkt und durch leichtes Überneigen des Stieles 9 in Pfeilrichtung 22 an der Rastvorrichtung 5 abgestützt werden.As shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 and illustrated by the arrow 21, the support 13 can be pivoted down against the force of the spring 18 and supported on the latching device 5 by slightly tilting the handle 9 in the direction of the arrow 22.

Diese Abstützung ist in Fig. 2 im einzelnen dargestellt. Der gerade Steg des U-förmigen Bügels liegt im Winkel einer Aufkantung 23 des Bleches 6, auf der als weiteres Teil der Rastvorrichtung 5 eine Blechnase 24 eingerastet ist.
Dem Bügel ist bei dieser Abstützung keine Verdrehung möglich, ohne daß er, was durch die Stützkraft verhindert wird, sich in der Abstützung anhebt, indem seine eine Ecke an der Aufkantung 23 nach oben und seine andere Ecke auf dem Blech 6 geringfügig zurück gleitet. Da ein Kippen des Stiels in Querrichtung des Rahmens 1 infolge der Steifigkeit des durch die Wangen 15 und Enden 16 gebildeten Gelenks mit einer Drehung der Stütze verbunden wäre, ist somit der, in Längsrichtung des Rahmens 1 durch die Stütze 13 gehaltene, Stiel 9 auch in Querrichtung des Rahmens 1 gehalten. Um die Haltekraft in Querrichtung zu verstärken, könnte man den aufgekanteten Blechabschnitt noch etwas weiter, über die Senkrechte hinaus, abwinkeln.This support is shown in Fig. 2 in detail. The straight web of the U-shaped bracket lies at the angle of an upstand 23 of the sheet 6, on which a sheet nose 24 is engaged as a further part of the locking device 5.
The bracket is not possible with this support twist without it, which is prevented by the supporting force, rises in the support by its one corner on the upstand 23 and its other corner slides back slightly on the sheet 6. Since a tilting of the handle in the transverse direction of the frame 1 would be associated with a rotation of the support due to the rigidity of the joint formed by the cheeks 15 and ends 16, the handle 9 held in the longitudinal direction of the frame 1 by the support 13 is thus also in Cross direction of the frame 1 held. In order to increase the holding force in the transverse direction, the bent sheet metal section could be angled a little further, beyond the vertical.

Wird der Stiel 9 aus seiner übergeneigten Stellung zurückbewegt, kommt die Stütze 13 frei und schnappt durch die Kraft der Feder 18 in ihre Grundstellung zurück.If the handle 9 is moved back from its inclined position, the support 13 is released and snaps back into its basic position by the force of the spring 18.
