Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mop intended to be applied to the mop holder mops.
- the housewife dives the traditional mop in water to which we previously added a detergent, it spreads the traditional mop on the floor to be cleaned and eventually it fold it up appropriately. Then she applies over the mop a traditional broom and she can start cleaning.
- the party bottom of the traditional mop which is supported on the ground becomes dirty, once the brush broom removed, turn it upside down, manually, the mop traditional in order to prolong the cleaning action, without having to immediately rinse the swab. Then, after placing the broom again over the mop, we can resume cleaning.
- the board supporting the mop consists of a flat element (configured and articulated in different ways) having dimensions in plan allowing to keep the entire mop for mop in contact with the ground and in practice dimensions roughly corresponding to those of the mop to be maintained.
- these mops In these mops the surface which is opposite to the active surface is provided of the two fins. Therefore, due to their configuration, these mops are obligatorily applied to the board which supports them, by adhering to it, by their surfaces provided with fins. In fact, the fins are fixed in a position practically parallel to the surface, at the ends of this surface, and they are directed towards each other. When, as a result of wear and tear resulting from use, the active part of the fabric is consumed, such mops should be discarded because they are no longer suitable for the purpose, even if the tissue opposite the active surface and the fins themselves are still in fair condition.
- the way the fins are attached to the mop that is to say fixed over the surface opposite the active surface, parallel to the latter and one towards the other, allows the fixing of the mop only one way on the plane of the support board, without possibility of upside down inversion of the mop.
- Such a way of arranging the fins on the mop is imposed by the insertion of these fins, without having to fold them down, between the clips of the plan. Because the fins should not be bent and to facilitate their insertion under the clamps, it is advantageous to make them in a semi-rigid or much less flexible material by relative to the tissue plane to which they are attached. But the need to use such semi-rigid material, not very flexible or of a certain thickness causes the drawback to have to use, during the manufacture of the mop and in particular during the phase for attaching the fins to the flat piece of fabric, machines and more particularly sewing machines suitably sized for this purpose.
- This mop allows you to use the two surfaces of a single and same mop which have different structures adapted to two necessities which saves the user from having to go near the cart or the reserve for replacement mops.
- the mop according to the present invention makes it possible to obtain, in addition to a reduction in the number of operator trips, optimal use of materials because when one of the two active surfaces of the mop is worn out, can also use the opposite surface which can be made so as to be also active.
- the two active surfaces are in fact served by a unique pair of fins.
- the mop according to the present invention in which the fins are in the extension, with the same position, of the surface of the mop allows the use of traditional mops on the market by folding them over and sewing them to form a bundle.
- the mop according to the present invention thus obtained from of the traditional mop, allows to use its two surfaces, it no longer requires use of the broom and it no longer requires handling with the hands from the operator for replacement and for spinning.
- the mop as well obtained from traditional mops actually behaves like a real mop for broom to equip the support board with a broom. There is no question that in the latter case we obtain a considerable economic advantage from the fact that we realizes a mop for broom starting from traditional mops existing on the relatively low cost.
- the invention also avoids the significant drawbacks due to sewing difficult to attach the fins to the fabric surface of the mop for broom.
- the invention consists of a mop for broom intended to be applied to a board supporting the mops, comprising a pair of fins, a piece of fabric for cleaning floors, the edges of which are made integral with the fins in order to fix the mop to the support board, the fins being fixed, on this mop, symmetrically with respect to the two surfaces of the fabric, in the extension and in the same position as these surfaces. In this way, this mop can be used for cleaning using both surfaces of the piece of fabric.
- the fixing the fins of the mop to the structure supporting this mop allows, by following their particular attachment, in a symmetrical manner, in relation to the two surfaces, the use, at various times, of the two sides of the fabric and this simply by turning the mop over 180 °.
- the fins can be folded down on either side to engage with the clips carried by the board.
- the invention advantageously uses, for the production of the fins, a material reasonably flexible, can be folded on both sides and also facilitates sewing operations necessary for their attachment to the flat piece of fabric of the swab.
- Another advantage is due to the fact that it is possible to use, for the fins, a rather rigid material, by performing, in this case, the fold of the end directly on the mop.
- the invention makes it possible to use the mops according to the present invention also with support boards whose length is different from that which is generally standardized for above-mentioned flat pieces of fabric.
- the folding of the ends for the application of the mop on the broom support board can be made either on the fins or directly on the active piece of flat fabric in case the support board is more short than expected.
- the fins are advantageously fixed in the extension of the piece of flat fabric and in the same position. This allows, if the flat piece of fabric is made in all in an active material, to be able to use both surfaces.
- the fins are arranged in the extension of the flat piece of fabric and that it has its two active surfaces made in different materials.
- each of the two active surfaces can be used for one of two different cleaning requirements. This translates into more employment convenient and more economical compared to current mops. In fact it is enough turn the mop upside down to have an active surface suitable for a specific task depending on the material of which it is made. We save in in this case one of the two mops that would be used if the mops were made of materials different.
- Another advantage obtained is the saving of time during manufacturing which requires fewer side seams if a piece of single fabric folded longitudinally.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a support board for brushes cotton existing on the market, provided at its ends with clamping devices fins connected to the mop to be maintained.
- Figure 2 is a plan view of a portion of a floor cloth existing on the market and whose fins are sewn on the end of the upper surface (carrier) of the mop.
- the flexible material fin is in a position parallel to the surface of the mop and its liftable part is turned towards the central area of this surface.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une serpillière destinée à être appliquée sur les planchettes supports de balais porte-serpillière.The present invention relates to a mop intended to be applied to the mop holder mops.
On utilise actuellement, pour le nettoyage des sols dans le domaine domestique, les serpillières traditionnelles avec les balais-brosses associés ou bien des serpillières particulières avec les balais porte-serpillière associés.Currently used for cleaning floors in the domestic area, traditional mops with associated brooms or mops particular with associated mop brushes.
Lors de l'utilisation des serpillières traditionnelles, la maítresse de maison plonge la serpillière traditionnelle dans de l'eau à laquelle on a ajouté préalablement un détergent, elle étend la serpillière traditionnelle sur le sol à nettoyer et éventuellement elle la replie d'une façon appropriée. Ensuite, elle applique par-dessus la serpillière traditionnelle un balai-brosse et elle peut commencer le nettoyage. Lorsque la partie inférieure de la serpillière traditionnelle qui est appuyée sur le sol, devient sale, une fois le balai-brosse enlevé, on retourne sens dessus dessous, manuellement, la serpillière traditionnelle afin de prolonger l'action de nettoyage, sans devoir rincer immédiatement la serpillière. Ensuite, après avoir de nouveau placé le balai-brosse par-dessus la serpillière, on peut reprendre le nettoyage.When using traditional mops, the housewife dives the traditional mop in water to which we previously added a detergent, it spreads the traditional mop on the floor to be cleaned and eventually it fold it up appropriately. Then she applies over the mop a traditional broom and she can start cleaning. When the party bottom of the traditional mop which is supported on the ground, becomes dirty, once the brush broom removed, turn it upside down, manually, the mop traditional in order to prolong the cleaning action, without having to immediately rinse the swab. Then, after placing the broom again over the mop, we can resume cleaning.
A la suite de ces opérations, pour le rinçage de la serpillière traditionnelle, on la prend à la main, on la rince, on l'essore avantageusement et on la replace sur le sol.Following these operations, for rinsing the traditional mop, it is take by hand, rinse it, wring it out advantageously and replace it on the floor.
De telles opérations exigent de nombreuses interventions avec les mains de la part de l'opérateur. Pour cette raison est apparue une autre façon d'effectuer le nettoyage des sols qui utilise des serpillières particulières conjointement avec des balais associés pourvus à la base d'un support de la serpillière. Ces serpillières pour balai sont constituées d'une bande de tissu ou également de chiffon ou de non tissé, d'une largeur appropriée, aux extrémités de laquelle sont fixées des ailettes pour la fixation de la bande de tissu au balai porte-serpillière. Ces ailettes peuvent être également des appendices assumant une fonction analogue. Par conséquent, dans la description qui va suivre, l'expression "ailette" est destinée à englober également ces appendices.Such operations require numerous interventions with the hands of the from the operator. For this reason another way of cleaning appeared. floors that use special mops in conjunction with associated brooms provided at the base with a support for the mop. These broom mops are made of a strip of fabric or also of cloth or nonwoven, of a width suitable, at the ends of which are attached fins for fixing the strip of cloth with the mop holder. These fins can also be appendages assuming a similar function. Therefore, in the following description, the expression "fin" is intended to also encompass these appendices.
La planchette supportant la serpillière est constituée d'un élément plan (configuré et articulé de différentes façons) ayant des dimensions en plan permettant de maintenir la totalité de la serpillière pour balai en contact avec le sol et en pratique de dimensions correspondant à peu près à celles de la serpillière à maintenir.The board supporting the mop consists of a flat element (configured and articulated in different ways) having dimensions in plan allowing to keep the entire mop for mop in contact with the ground and in practice dimensions roughly corresponding to those of the mop to be maintained.
Sur la surface supérieure du plan de la planchette support sont prévus, à proximité de ses extrémités, des moyens pour maintenir la serpillière. Ces moyens sont pratiquement des pinces (articulées et formées de différentes façons) qui viennent en prise et maintiennent, une fois serrées, les ailettes de la serpillière.On the upper surface of the plane of the support board are provided, near its ends, means for holding the mop. These means are practically clamps (articulated and formed in different ways) which come in grip and hold, when tightened, the fins of the mop.
Avec de telles serpillières, une fois celles-ci fixées à la planchette support, il n'est plus nécessaire de procéder à aucune opération pour la remise en état, l'essorage, le rinçage, parce que beaucoup d'opérations sont effectuées à l'aide d'un dispositif d'essorage.With such mops, once they are attached to the support board, it is no longer necessary to carry out any operation for reconditioning, spinning, rinsing, because a lot of operations are carried out using a device spin.
Dans ces serpillières la surface qui est opposée à la surface active est pourvue des deux ailettes. De ce fait, par suite de leur configuration, ces serpillières sont obligatoirement appliquées sur la planchette qui les supporte, en adhérant à celle-ci, par leurs surfaces pourvues des ailettes. En fait, les ailettes sont fixées dans une position pratiquement parallèle à la surface, aux extrémités de cette surface, et elles sont dirigées l'une vers l'autre. Lorsque, par suite de l'usure résultant de l'utilisation, la partie active du tissu est consumée, de telles serpillières doivent être jetées du fait qu'elles ne sont plus appropriées au but à atteindre, même si le tissu opposé à la surface active et les ailettes elles-mêmes sont encore dans un état correct.In these mops the surface which is opposite to the active surface is provided of the two fins. Therefore, due to their configuration, these mops are obligatorily applied to the board which supports them, by adhering to it, by their surfaces provided with fins. In fact, the fins are fixed in a position practically parallel to the surface, at the ends of this surface, and they are directed towards each other. When, as a result of wear and tear resulting from use, the active part of the fabric is consumed, such mops should be discarded because they are no longer suitable for the purpose, even if the tissue opposite the active surface and the fins themselves are still in fair condition.
Comme il a été exposé précédemment, la façon dont les ailettes sont fixées à la serpillière, c'est-à-dire fixées par-dessus la surface opposée à la surface active, parallèlement à cette dernière et l'une en direction de l'autre, permet la fixation de la serpillière d'une seule manière sur le plan de la planchette support, sans possibilité de retournement sens dessus dessous de la serpillière.As discussed above, the way the fins are attached to the mop, that is to say fixed over the surface opposite the active surface, parallel to the latter and one towards the other, allows the fixing of the mop only one way on the plane of the support board, without possibility of upside down inversion of the mop.
Une telle façon de disposer les ailettes sur la serpillière est imposée par l'insertion de ces ailettes, sans devoir les rabattre, entre les pinces du plan. Du fait que les ailettes ne doivent pas être pliées et pour faciliter leur insertion sous les pinces, il est avantageux de les réaliser en une matière semi-rigide ou beaucoup moins flexible par rapport au plan de tissu auquel elles sont attachées. Mais la nécessité d'utiliser une telle matière semi-rigide, peu flexible ou d'une certaine épaisseur entraíne l'inconvénient d'avoir à utiliser, pendant la fabrication de la serpillière et en particulier pendant la phase d'attache des ailettes à la pièce de tissu plane, des machines et plus particulièrement des machines à coudre dimensionnées d'une façon appropriée à cet effet.Such a way of arranging the fins on the mop is imposed by the insertion of these fins, without having to fold them down, between the clips of the plan. Because the fins should not be bent and to facilitate their insertion under the clamps, it is advantageous to make them in a semi-rigid or much less flexible material by relative to the tissue plane to which they are attached. But the need to use such semi-rigid material, not very flexible or of a certain thickness causes the drawback to have to use, during the manufacture of the mop and in particular during the phase for attaching the fins to the flat piece of fabric, machines and more particularly sewing machines suitably sized for this purpose.
On sait que parmi les diverses phases du nettoyage il est prévu, en plus du lavage, également le rinçage et éventuellement un séchage. Dans ce but il serait nécessaire d'effectuer les diverses phases du cycle de nettoyage avec des serpillières en matières diverses. Il apparaít donc nécessaire de changer de type de serpillière lorsque l'on décide de passer du lavage au rinçage. Pour cette phase opérationnelle, il est nécessaire de se rendre alors près du chariot portant des articles de rechange pour le nettoyage ou au dépôt où est conservée la nouvelle serpillière devant être utilisée pour le rinçage.We know that among the various phases of cleaning it is planned, in addition to washing, also rinsing and possibly drying. For this purpose it would be necessary to carry out the various phases of the cleaning cycle with mops in various matters. It therefore appears necessary to change the type of mop when we decide to go from washing to rinsing. For this operational phase, it is necessary to go then near the trolley carrying spare articles for the cleaning or at the depot where the new mop to be used for cleaning is kept rinsing.
Pour satisfaire aux diverses exigences inhérentes aux types particuliers de nettoyage (lavage, rinçage, séchage, etc...) il est nécessaire de disposer d'une réserve d'un certain nombre de serpillières appropriées.To meet the various requirements inherent in particular types of cleaning (washing, rinsing, drying, etc ...) it is necessary to have a reserve of a number of appropriate mops.
Pour remédier aux inconvénients énoncés précédemment, on utilise la serpillière suivant la présente invention. Cette serpillière permet d'utiliser les deux surfaces d'une seule et même serpillière qui ont des structures différentes adaptées à deux nécessités différentes, ce qui évite à l'utilisateur de se rendre près du chariot ou au magasin de réserve pour obtenir des serpillières de rechange.To overcome the drawbacks mentioned above, we use the mop according to the present invention. This mop allows you to use the two surfaces of a single and same mop which have different structures adapted to two necessities which saves the user from having to go near the cart or the reserve for replacement mops.
La serpillière suivant la présente invention permet d'obtenir, en plus d'une réduction du nombre des déplacements de l'opérateur, une exploitation optimale des matières parce que, lorsque l'une des deux surfaces actives de la serpillière est usée, on peut utiliser également la surface opposée qui peut être réalisée de manière à être aussi active. Les deux surfaces actives sont en fait servies par une paire unique d'ailettes.The mop according to the present invention makes it possible to obtain, in addition to a reduction in the number of operator trips, optimal use of materials because when one of the two active surfaces of the mop is worn out, can also use the opposite surface which can be made so as to be also active. The two active surfaces are in fact served by a unique pair of fins.
La serpillière suivant la présente invention dans laquelle les ailettes sont dans le prolongement, avec la même position, de la surface de la serpillière permet d'utiliser les serpillières traditionnelles du marché en les repliant sur elles-mêmes et en les cousant pour former un paquet. La serpillière suivant la présente invention, ainsi obtenue à partir de la serpillière traditionnelle, permet d'utiliser ses deux surfaces, elle n'exige plus l'emploi du balai-brosse et elle ne nécessite plus en outre la manipulation avec les mains de la part de l'opérateur pour la remise en place et pour l'essorage. La serpillière ainsi obtenue à partir des serpillières traditionnelles se comporte en fait comme une vraie serpillière pour balai pour équiper la planchette support d'un balai. Il est incontestable que dans ce dernier cas on obtient un avantage économique considérable du fait que l'on réalise une serpillière pour balai en partant de serpillières traditionnelles existant sur le marché et d'un coût relativement bas.The mop according to the present invention in which the fins are in the extension, with the same position, of the surface of the mop allows the use of traditional mops on the market by folding them over and sewing them to form a bundle. The mop according to the present invention, thus obtained from of the traditional mop, allows to use its two surfaces, it no longer requires use of the broom and it no longer requires handling with the hands from the operator for replacement and for spinning. The mop as well obtained from traditional mops actually behaves like a real mop for broom to equip the support board with a broom. There is no question that in the latter case we obtain a considerable economic advantage from the fact that we realizes a mop for broom starting from traditional mops existing on the relatively low cost.
L'invention évite également les inconvénients importants dus à la couture difficile de l'attache des ailettes au plan de tissu de la serpillière pour balai.The invention also avoids the significant drawbacks due to sewing difficult to attach the fins to the fabric surface of the mop for broom.
L'invention consiste en une serpillière pour balai destinée à être appliquée sur une planchette support des balais porte-serpillière, comprenant une paire d'ailettes, une pièce de tissu pour le nettoyage des sols dont les bords sont rendus solidaires des ailettes afin de fixer la serpillière à la planchette support, les ailettes étant fixées, sur cette serpillière, symétriquement par rapport aux deux surfaces du tissu, dans le prolongement et dans la même position que ces surfaces. De cette façon, cette serpillière peut être employée pour le nettoyage en utilisant les deux surfaces de la pièce de tissu. En fait, la fixation des ailettes de la serpillière à la structure supportant cette serpillière permet, par suite de leur attache particulière, d'une manière symétrique, par rapport aux deux surfaces, l'utilisation, à des moments divers, des deux faces du tissu et ce simplement en retournant sur elle-même de 180° la serpillière. Par suite de leur attache particulière en position de symétrie, les ailettes peuvent être rabattues indifféremment des deux côtés pour venir en prise avec les pinces portées par la planchette.The invention consists of a mop for broom intended to be applied to a board supporting the mops, comprising a pair of fins, a piece of fabric for cleaning floors, the edges of which are made integral with the fins in order to fix the mop to the support board, the fins being fixed, on this mop, symmetrically with respect to the two surfaces of the fabric, in the extension and in the same position as these surfaces. In this way, this mop can be used for cleaning using both surfaces of the piece of fabric. In fact, the fixing the fins of the mop to the structure supporting this mop allows, by following their particular attachment, in a symmetrical manner, in relation to the two surfaces, the use, at various times, of the two sides of the fabric and this simply by turning the mop over 180 °. As a result of their special attachment to symmetrical position, the fins can be folded down on either side to engage with the clips carried by the board.
L'invention utilise avantageusement, pour la réalisation des ailettes, une matière raisonnablement flexible, pouvant être pliée des deux côtés et facilitant également les opérations de couture nécessaires pour leur attache à la pièce de tissu plane de la serpillière. The invention advantageously uses, for the production of the fins, a material reasonably flexible, can be folded on both sides and also facilitates sewing operations necessary for their attachment to the flat piece of fabric of the swab.
Un autre avantage est dû au fait qu'il est possible d'employer, pour les ailettes, une matière plutôt rigide, en effectuant, dans ce cas, le pli de l'extrémité directement sur la serpillière.Another advantage is due to the fact that it is possible to use, for the fins, a rather rigid material, by performing, in this case, the fold of the end directly on the mop.
D'une façon particulièrement avantageuse, l'invention permet d'employer les serpillières suivant la présente invention également avec des planchettes supports dont la longueur est différente de celle qui est, d'une manière générale, normalisée pour les pièces de tissu planes précitées. Le pliage des extrémités pour l'application de la serpillière sur la planchette support du balai peut être effectué soit sur les ailettes soit directement sur la pièce de tissu actif plane dans le cas où la planchette support est plus courte que prévue.In a particularly advantageous manner, the invention makes it possible to use the mops according to the present invention also with support boards whose length is different from that which is generally standardized for above-mentioned flat pieces of fabric. The folding of the ends for the application of the mop on the broom support board can be made either on the fins or directly on the active piece of flat fabric in case the support board is more short than expected.
Les ailettes sont avantageusement fixées dans le prolongement de la pièce de tissu plane et dans la même position. Ceci permet, si la pièce de tissu plane est réalisée en totalité en une matière active, de pouvoir utiliser les deux surfaces.The fins are advantageously fixed in the extension of the piece of flat fabric and in the same position. This allows, if the flat piece of fabric is made in all in an active material, to be able to use both surfaces.
Un autre avantage est obtenu si les ailettes sont disposées dans le prolongement de la pièce de tissu plane et que celle-ci présente ses deux surfaces actives réalisées en matières différentes. Dans ce cas, chacune des deux surfaces actives peut être utilisée pour l'une de deux exigences de nettoyage différentes. Ceci se traduit par un emploi plus commode et plus économique par rapport aux serpillières actuelles. En fait il est suffisant de retourner la serpillière sens dessus dessous pour avoir une surface active adaptée à une tâche spécifique dépendant de la matière dont elle est constituée. On économise dans ce cas l'une des deux serpillières qui seraient utilisées si les serpillières étaient en matières différentes.Another advantage is obtained if the fins are arranged in the extension of the flat piece of fabric and that it has its two active surfaces made in different materials. In this case, each of the two active surfaces can be used for one of two different cleaning requirements. This translates into more employment convenient and more economical compared to current mops. In fact it is enough turn the mop upside down to have an active surface suitable for a specific task depending on the material of which it is made. We save in in this case one of the two mops that would be used if the mops were made of materials different.
Un autre avantage obtenu est l'économie de temps au cours de la fabrication qui nécessite un nombre moindre de coutures latérales dans le cas où on utilise une pièce de tissu unique repliée longitudinalement.Another advantage obtained is the saving of time during manufacturing which requires fewer side seams if a piece of single fabric folded longitudinally.
On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, diverses formes d'exécution de la présente invention, en référence aux dessins annexés.Various embodiments will be described below, by way of nonlimiting examples. of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
