Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor wiper with two pivotally connected to a wiper handle, an absorbent mop pad supporting Moppivaerieln and with a sliding along the wiper handle extrusion press with two rigid Auspressarmen whose ends are each engageable with a guide surface on the back of each associated Moppnatureeriels.
  • the wiper handle is rigidly connected to a support center piece of a triangular-shaped support plate whose two side parts form hinged mop support wings.
  • a wire clip is folded down, which acts via two Auspressrollen on the two Moppivaeriel.
  • the achievable extrusion forces are therefore only relatively low.
  • the mop carrier has on its front side a projecting corner and can therefore only be guided with one of its oblique side edges along a straight bottom boundary.
  • the wiper handle is pivotally connected to the two mop carrier wings which are pivotally connected to one another directly.
  • the Auspressschieber consists of a slidable along the wiper handle, longitudinally slotted sleeve in its lower portion, in which the two Moppivalus be pulled in the folded state.
  • the two sleeve parts which are separated from one another by the longitudinal slot act in each case via a roller on a guide surface on the rear side of the respective associated mop carrier wing.
  • the mop support surface on its front side a projecting corner, so that it can be moved with sloping side edges along a straight bottom boundary.
  • the Moppieriel are designed rectangular.
  • the required water level in the cleaning bucket for rinsing the mop must be at least chosen so that the rectangular Moppieriel, which are usually introduced obliquely for ergonomic reasons in the bucket, completely immersed in the cleaning water.
  • this minimum height of the cleaning water is relatively high, so that a relatively large amount of water in the bucket must be provided so that the bucket is heavy.
  • the maximum force required for the squeezing of the mop is essentially determined by the required for the pivoting of Moppivargicrgic moment at the end of the pivoting movement.
  • the areas furthest away from the pivot axis contribute the most to the squeezing moment, since they attack the farthest surface areas each with the largest lever arm. Therefore leverage ratios must be provided in the squeezing devices in order to apply the required squeezing moment at the end of the squeezing movement.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a floor wiper of the type mentioned in such a way that it is easy to handle and easy to squeeze and manages with a lower cleaning water level.
  • the handle stem is pivotally connected to a support center piece on which the two Moppihoffl are pivotally mounted with a hinge edge, that each Moppihoffl forms a right angle trapezoid or triangle whose larger base line forms the hinge edge, and that the two perpendicular to the hinge edge extending edges of Moppieriel form a common straight, continuous front edge of the floor wiper.
  • Each mop carrier wing is thus wider at its hinge edge than at its edge opposite the hinge edge. Compared to a rectangular mop carrier wing therefore reduces its width and thus its area with increasing distance from the pivot axis at the hinge edge. Thus, those areas are reduced, which attack with a larger lever arm. In this way, the required maximum Auspressmoment is reduced, so that the squeezing of the mop can be done with less force. Working with the floor wiper is therefore less exhausting.
  • the smaller width at the ends of the two mop support wings also makes it easier to insert the floor wiper into narrow corners and gaps so that a more thorough cleaning effect is achieved even in difficult to reach areas of the floor surface to be cleaned. Obstacles on the ground can be easily avoided.
  • each mop carrier wing forms a right angle trapezoid whose larger base line forms the hinge edge.
  • the mop In its grounded position, therefore, the mop has a continuous leading edge containing the two right-angled side edges and two narrower ends which may eventually become a corner so that each mop carrier wing forms a triangle.
  • the continuous straight front edge of the floor wiper makes it possible to bring this up to a straight, running transversely to the working direction boundary edge of the floor to be wiped.
  • the wiper handle is connected via a universal joint with the support center piece and the ends of the Auspressarme are each engageable with a guide surface on the back of the respectively associated Moppivaziels.
  • the Auspressschieber is here performed non-rotatably on the wiper handle.
  • the guide surface drops on the free end of the plate facing the side of the survey to Moppivaziel out. This ensures that the force to be applied to the squeezing slide falls after exceeding the elevations at the end of the squeezing process and thus gives the user a clear indication that the squeezing process is completed and completed.
  • the floor wiper shown in Figs. 1-5 has a wiper handle 1, which is non-rotatably connected via a universal joint 2 with a support center piece 3, but on all sides.
  • the support center piece 3 is connected via hinges 4 mounted on both sides, each with a mop carrier wing 5.
  • the two Moppieriel 5 and the support center piece 3 carry an absorbent, auspressbaren mop pad 6, which consists of a sponge layer 7 and a pile cover 8 in a conventional manner.
  • a squeezing slide 9 is displaceable along the wiper handle 1.
  • the Auspressschieber 9 has a guide sleeve 10 which is guided longitudinally displaceably on the wiper handle 1.
  • a longitudinal groove 10 a is provided, into which engages a mounted on the wiper handle 1 pin 1 a.
  • the sleeve 10 is rigidly connected to two Auspressarmen 11 which carry in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-5 at their ends 11a as a rotatable roller body each having a rotatably mounted roller 12.
  • Fig. 6 it is shown that the roller 12 is mounted on an axis 13 which can be attached on both sides (Fig. 6a) or on one side (Fig. 6b) on the Auspressarm 11. Instead, it is also possible (Fig. 6c), as a rolling body to provide a rotatably received in a recess 14 at the end 11a of the Auspressarms 11 ball 15. Another possible alternative is that the end 11a of each extrusion arm 11 has a convexly curved pressure surface 16 (FIG. 6d).
  • the Auspressschieber 9 is withdrawn back to its original position.
  • the two mop carrier wings 5 are moved into their extended position by a spring device, for example a leg spring 18 (FIG. 5), whose legs are connected to the mop carrier wings 5.
  • the hinges of the mop carrier wings 5 are designed so that the Moppivaeriel 5 can not be folded beyond its extended orientation upwards.
  • Fig. 8 shows a further modified embodiment in which the rolling body on Auspressarm 11 is provided on the periphery with recesses 19 wheel 20 which engages with at least one projection 21 and 22 at the back of Moppivaulatels 5 at the end of the Auspressvorgangs.
  • Each of the two Moppstilhoffl 5 forms a right angle trapezoid.
  • the hinge edge 5b respectively forms the larger base line of the trapezoid.
  • Each trailing edge 5e of each mop carrier blade 5 extends at an acute angle to the hinge edge 5b forming the hinge 4, and is inclined toward the leading edge 5d, which is at right angles to the hinge edge 5b.
  • each mop carrier wing 5 is substantially narrower in the region of its free edge 5a than in the region of its hinge edge 4.
  • the edge 5a can also be reduced down to a point, so that the ground plan surface of the mop carrier wing 5 forms a triangle (FIG. 11). With a small increase in the required pressure, this results in a further substantial increase in the wiping width without increasing the immersion depth.
  • the illustrated floor wiper with inclined trailing edge 5e comes out with a lower water level in the cleaning bucket.
  • the immersion depth of the Floor wiper is less in the conventional inclined position shown in Fig. 15 as rectangular mop carrier wings.
  • Fig. 9 it is shown that the distance b of the point of application of the Auspressarms 11 on the guide surface 17 of the hinge edge 5b is at least equal to the width a of the support center piece 3.
  • the distance b of the point of application of the Auspressarms 11 of the hinge edge 5b is at least 1/5 of the width c of the Moppivargics. 5
  • the wiper handle 1 engages in the longitudinal center of the support center piece 3. Instead, the wiper handle 1 can also be offset from the longitudinal center of the carrier centerpiece 3 to the front edge 5d.
  • the oblique trailing edge 5e of each mop carrier blade 5 forms with the hinge edge 5b an angle ⁇ of 50 ° -70 °.
  • the roller 12 may have a circumferential groove running on the bead-shaped guide surface 17 (Figure 12).
  • a groove-shaped guide surface 17 (FIG. 13)
  • the ball 15 of the extrusion arm 11 can run on the longitudinal edges of the groove.
  • a disk-shaped rolling body 12 (FIG. 14) can roll on the bottom of a channel-shaped guide surface 17.
