Definitions

  • a cleaning device of this type is already known as is apparent, for example, from EP 0 753 279 A1.
  • the exit plate forms a wall of the cleaning head.
  • the cleaning fluid is from an interior of the cleaning head the sponge or the bristles over the openings of the Dosed perforated plate supplied.
  • the dosage is however not controllable, so that the cleaning fluid from Sponge can drip off, especially if the cleaning device is pressed against the surface to be cleaned.
  • Another disadvantage is that the replacement of the plaster surface elements only together with the perforated plate and if necessary with a surrounding frame is possible.
  • DE 94 05 755.9 is a device for cleaning to remove windows, which also has a handle owns with a cleaning head.
  • the cleaning head has a water reservoir and a single one Outlet opening through which the cleaning fluid can be pumped into a cleaning sponge.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a cleaning device specify for soils of the type mentioned, the with simple and inexpensive construction, a large cleaning Floor surfaces with one during cleaning constantly remoistenable plaster surface element allows.
  • this object is achieved in that the Cleaning fluid reservoir a taken in and / or integrally formed, outwardly open pump chamber and that the cleaning liquid pump by a the pump chamber sealing, elastically deformable cover element is formed, which has a guide flange and a having flexible pump plate.
  • the pump plate By a force on the pump plate, in particular with the foot is easy to exercise, the pump plate, the for example, consists of an elastomer deformed, whereby the pressure in the under the pump plate lying fluid-filled chamber rises and cleaning fluid through the at least one nozzle recess from the reservoir is pressed onto the plaster surface element.
  • the Liquid is either in a distribution channel introduced or directly into a liquid distribution area injected where it absorbs from the plaster surface element becomes.
  • the detergent reservoir is at a first preferred embodiment of the hollow body formed himself, which one taken in his back and / or molded, outwardly open pump chamber having. It is particularly advantageous if the Body is a blow-molded plastic hollow body, the simple and inexpensive to produce. The relatively large one Opening of the pump chamber with the cover element removed also has a funnel effect and allows a simple Filling the body. Only two elements fulfill this namely, the main body and the lid member, all Functions according to the prior art by a Variety of different modules are formed.
  • a further preferred embodiment provides that the Cleaning fluid reservoir through a hollow, formed on the base body additional tank is formed, the one in his back recessed and / or molded, has pump chamber open to the outside.
  • the guide flange of the lid member may be in both Embodiments in a completed, with at least continue a storage chamber provided with a nozzle recess.
  • this pantry cleaning agents in particular in concentrate form, to be kept in stock at Pressure on the pump plate dosed in through the Basic body or additional tank formed and, for example introduced with pure water filled main reservoir become.
  • the entire cover element with storage chamber is preferably formed like a bellows from an elastomeric material.
  • An advantageous variant further provides that several Pump chambers with corresponding cover elements with and are provided without pantry.
  • the pump chambers are fluid conducting with each other and / or with the liquid distribution area connected.
  • either different Cleaning fluids in the storage chambers of the Cover elements are kept or it is for the pure Pumping provided a first cover member and a second lid element, with the detergent concentrate if necessary can be injected into the reservoir.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention Cleaning device 100 facing the back 12 of the main body 10.
  • the main body 10 is preferably a hollow blow molded plastic, for example made of polyethylene, and also serves as a cleaning fluid reservoir.
  • the Cleaning surface element 20 is preferably a section of a textile cleaning cloth of microfiber fabric or fleece, in particular, in the humidified state a known good cleaning effect on all common household soiling like dust and grease deposits, has.
  • the retaining elements 21, ..., 24 are preferably around discs of a flexible material, in each case a cross or star-shaped slot 22.1 is introduced.
  • a plaster surface element 20 can around the front 11 of the body 10 and by pressing in the slots 22.1 the holding elements 21, ..., 24 are fixed.
  • Fig. 2a shows the main body 10 with a view of the front 11.
  • the front 11 has recesses 11.3, 11.4 on, in which Kletthakenb S sunk fastened.
  • Kletthakenb sunk fastened.
  • an unillustrated sponge element attached be that between body 10 and plaster surface element 20 is arranged. It can be used as a cache for Serve liquid and / or by its elasticity bumps balance and so the outside Plaster surface element 20 over the entire surface of the surface to be cleaned to press.
  • liquid distribution areas 11.1, 11.2 provided, respectively formed by one or more DüsenausEnglishstead 13 are, by the cleaning liquid from the through the Base 10 formed cleaning fluid reservoir can escape.
  • an outwardly open pump chamber 16 is formed.
  • At least one handle or handle adapter receptacle 14 molded on the handles or longer stems, provided with compatible adapter elements 60, 61 are, can be fixed, for example, by simple Engage.
  • each At the corners are each wageschausEnglishept 18.1, ..., 18.4 formed in the cleaning device 100 each, as shown in FIG. 1, with a holding element 21, ..., 24 are covered.
  • the receiving chamber recesses 18.1, ..., 18.4 allow it, those formed by the cuts 22.1 Segments of the retaining elements 21, ..., 24 to deform down and also in the holding elements 21, ..., 24 trapped Tip of the textile cleaning surface element 20 record.
  • the pump chamber 16 is, as shown in Fig. 1, at Proper use of the cleaning device 100 covered with a cover member 40, in particular mushroom-shaped with a tubular guide flange 41 (see. Fig. 3) and a convex, over the back 12 of the Base 10 raised pump plate 42 is formed.
  • the compatible pump chamber 16 is preferably cylindrical educated. Through the guide flange 41 is the pump plate 42 centered in the pump chamber 16, also is circumferentially on the guide flange 41 an air and liquid - tight clamping connection with the wall of the Pump chamber 16 made.
  • the convex, over the surface of the back 12 raised Pump plate 42 may be used to pump cleaning fluid deformed by a force exerted in particular by the foot, that means being pushed inward. Thereby increases the pressure in the pump chamber 16 and the himself subsequent liquid-filled base body 10, see that cleaning fluid through the at least one Auslassausappelung 13 in the liquid distribution areas 11.1, 11.2 is ejected.
  • the cleaning liquid is then either initially in the sponge element, not shown cached and with appropriate dehydration taken up by the plaster surface element 20 or by punching in the sponge element directly on the Cleaning surface element 20 passed.
  • a separate auxiliary tank 50 is provided, which is detachably connected to the base body 10 '.
  • Base 10 ' also has at least one handle or handle adapter receptacle 14 and receiving chamber recesses 18.1, ..., 18.4, in which holding elements 21, 22 use are.
  • the base body 10 ' at least two locking recesses 19 'on, extending consistently from the front 11 'to the back 12' extend.
