Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mop for attachment to a broomstick, comprising a bracket on which a number of relatively movable, absorbent Strips of a textile material substantially transverse to the axis of the stem is fixed, and at least one spring body which interacts with the strips.
  • a mop for attachment to a broomstick including a bracket which is a number of relatively movable, absorbent strips of textile material is set essentially transverse to the axis of the stem, is from the German Utility model 76 25 260 known.
  • the in the bracket across Absorbent strips defined in the longitudinal direction of the broomstick usually made of a cotton fleece. They have particularly wet No elasticity at all and fall like the skeins of yarn swinging freely down. Due to the low fullness of the cotton fleece that forms it the result is a lean appearance. There is also the oscillating movement in the course of cleaning floor surfaces the latent Risk of mutual contact between the plastic bracket and Furniture or walls, which can lead to mutual damage and is not very satisfactory.
  • the invention has for its object a mop of the type mentioned to develop in such a way that avoiding any significant additional costs a fuller appearance when manufactured, even when wetted results as well as a reduction in the risk of damage to the Bracket and / or furniture in the event of accidental touches.
  • At least one spring body is provided in the mop according to the invention, which causes the strips to spread at least in the region of the holder. This gives the mop a fuller look even when the strips are wet Appearance, which makes it appear more appealing. Also be the stripes through the spring body on the pendulous hanging parallel to the Stem axis prevented. As a result, they tower even when wetted the bracket in the lateral direction, which causes the stiffeners at lateral contact of a fixed surface between the surface and the stop Bracket be upset. This causes shock absorption and prevents the occurrence of mutual damage when touched unyielding objects.
  • the spring body can be in the form of a foam body made of polymer Material present, for example from a polyurethane foam, which Strips supported loosely in at least one partial area.
  • the spring body is conveniently attached directly or indirectly to the bracket and arranged so that there is at least one inside support Part of the stripe results.
  • the spring body is dimensioned in this way is that it overlaps the bracket in the lateral direction. Even though Not readily recognizable from the outside, such a spring body acts elastic support on the stripes, which contributes significantly to Prevent damage when the mop is swinging sideways Movement touches an unyielding object.
  • the band is only provided in the area of the stem and overlaps the bracket in the lateral direction.
  • the one for achieving one good cleaning effect essential components of the strips and in particular the protruding ends of this can continue to be fine surface unevenness to penetrate what's important in terms of achieving a good cleaning effect.
  • the tape can generally consist of a film and / or a rubber band.
  • it has proven to be expedient if it is predominantly consists of synthetic fibers that are connected over a large area. Through the resulting breathability is such an execution of the Drying process after previous wetting favors and thus Rotten avoided the durability of the pug improved.
  • the tape points a particularly good resistance if the synthetic, forming it Fibers at geographically separate locations through mutual fusion are connected. This creates a particularly appealing look achieved when the fibers consist at least partially of split stone fibers. In addition to a velvety appearance of the surface results good elasticity and good resilience in such a design, combined with good abrasion resistance. Nevertheless, it is comparatively sufficient low basis weights to achieve the desired increase in To cause elasticity of the strips.
  • the tape can be sewn to the strips become.
  • it has proven to be useful both in terms of manufacturing technology Terms as well as hygienically when the tape connected to the strips by means of a hot melt adhesive at spatially separate locations is.
  • polyethylene powder can be used as the hot melt adhesive get, the adhesive particles after application a smallest have a current distance of about 2 mm. You are following the gluing is almost invisible.
  • the mop shown in Figures 1 and 2 is used in particular for wet cleaning of floors. It is intended for attachment to a broomstick 1 and comprises a holder 2 on which a simple, relatively movable, absorbent strip 3 made of a textile material is fixed essentially transversely to the axis 6 of the handle 1.
  • the textile material can be a cotton fleece with a basis weight of 100 to 300 g / m 2 , preferably with a basis weight of 180 to 220 g / m 2 , which can be provided with an improved abrasion resistance in the area of the top surface.
  • the print may consist of a foamed latex, for example, and contain components of a brand and / or graphic symbols. The printing should expediently be permitted in such a way that it does not cause any significant stiffening of the cotton material.
  • the strips 3, which are shown in the top view in FIG. 3, are laminated on the upper side in the middle region with a nonwoven fabric made of split chippings with a basis weight of 40 to 100 g / m 2 , expediently a basis weight of 60 to 80 g / m 2 ,
  • Split fibers of this type are processed in the form of staple fibers. They are united in the course of a carding process and subsequently subjected to spot welding, in which those forming the fleece Fibers fused into one another at spatially spaced locations become. Subsequently, the product obtained is very fine water jets directed against its surface under high pressure treated, which has the consequence that the microfibers forming the split fibers come apart from each other between the bond points, which is the product gives a puffy look and a fabric-like structure. nevertheless there is good elasticity.
  • the strips are inserted into the holder as in Figures 1 and 2 shown and anchored therein by means of a mushroom head 7.
  • This consists of Plastic and is on the underside with a spring body 4 made of a polyurethane foam connected, just like the bracket 2 of rotationally symmetrical Shape, but has a diameter D that is the diameter d overlaps the holder 2 in the lateral direction.
  • a spring body 4 made of a polyurethane foam connected, just like the bracket 2 of rotationally symmetrical Shape, but has a diameter D that is the diameter d overlaps the holder 2 in the lateral direction.
