Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kehrschaufel mit einem Grundkörper, der eine im Wesentlichen dreieckige Grundfläche aufweist, wobei eine Kante als Fegekante ausgebildet ist und die beiden anderen Kanten jeweils eine Seitenwand aufweisen, wobei an dem Grundkörper ein Stiel befestigbar ist.The invention relates to a dustpan having a base body which has a substantially triangular base surface, wherein one edge is designed as a sweeping edge and the two other edges each have a side wall, wherein on the base body a handle can be fastened.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der DE 41 29 246 C1 ist eine Kehrschaufel mit einer dreieckigen Grundform bekannt. Die Kehrschaufel weist eine symmetrische Grundform auf, wobei ein Schenkel als Fegekante ausgebildet ist und an den beiden anderen Schenkeln Seitenwände angeordnet sind. An der Spitze, an der die beiden Seitenwände zusammentreffen, ist ein Handgriff angeordnet. Die Reinigungsarbeit mit derartigen Kehrschaufeln ist nicht ergonomisch.From the DE 41 29 246 C1 is a dustpan with a triangular basic shape known. The dustpan has a symmetrical basic shape, wherein one leg is designed as a sweeping edge and on the two other legs side walls are arranged. At the top, where the two side walls meet, a handle is arranged. The cleaning work with such dustpans is not ergonomic.

Aus der GB 2168599 A ist eine Kehrschaufel bekannt, bei der an einem Grundkörper ein Stiel angeordnet ist, der bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung senkrecht von dem Grundkörper abragt. Des Weiteren ist die Verbindung zwischen Stiel und Grundkörper gelenkig ausgeführt, so dass der Grundkörper, um Platz zu sparen, in Richtung auf den Stiel schwenkbar ist.From the GB 2168599 A a dustpan is known in which a stem is arranged on a base, which protrudes perpendicularly from the base body when used as intended. Furthermore, the connection between the handle and the base body is articulated, so that the main body, in order to save space, is pivotable in the direction of the handle.

Aus der WO 03/059141A ist eine Kehrschaufel mit rechteckiger Grundform bekannt, wobei eine rückseitige Seitenwand als Stellfläche ausgebildet ist.From the WO 03 / 059141A is a dustpan with rectangular basic shape known, with a rear side wall is designed as a footprint.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Kehrschaufel bereitzustellen, die ergonomisch bedienbar ist und Platz sparend verstaut werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a dustpan, which is ergonomically operated and can be stowed away to save space.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. In advantageous embodiments, the dependent claims relate.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird eine Kehrschaufel mit einem Grundkörper vorgeschlagen, der eine im Wesentlichen dreieckige Grundfläche aufweist, wobei eine Kante als Fegekante ausgebildet ist und die beiden anderen Kanten jeweils eine Seitenwand aufweisen, wobei an dem Grundkörper ein Stiel befestigbar ist, der bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung im Wesentlichen senkrecht von der Grundfläche abragt, wobei zumindest eine Seitenwand als Stellfläche ausgebildet ist. Durch den Stiel kann die Reinigungsarbeit ohne Bücken und somit ergonomischer erfolgen. Dabei weist der Stiel eine Länge von etwa einem Meter auf. Durch die Ausbildung einer Seitenwand als Stellfläche kann die Kehrschaufel auf einer Seitenwand und damit auf einer besonders geringen Grundfläche stehend gelagert werden. Die Stellfläche kann dabei vollflächig durch die gesamte Seitenwand oder linienförmig entlang einer Kante erfolgen.To solve the problem, a dustpan is proposed with a base body having a substantially triangular base, one edge is designed as a sweeping edge and the other two edges each have a side wall, wherein on the base a handle can be fastened, the intended use protrudes substantially perpendicularly from the base, wherein at least one side wall is formed as a footprint. Through the handle cleaning work can be done without bending over and thus more ergonomic. The stem has a length of about one meter. By forming a side wall as a footprint the dustpan can be stored standing on a side wall and thus on a very small footprint. The footprint can be done over the entire surface through the entire side wall or linear along an edge.

Die Anbindung des Stiels an den Grundkörper kann asymmetrisch an einer Seitenwand erfolgen. Durch die asymmetrische Befestigung des Stiels an dem Grundkörper wird die Kehrschaufel beim Kehren automatisch immer so gehalten, dass die Fegekante in einem Winkel zu dem Reinigungsbesen ausgerichtet ist. Dadurch kann die Kehrschaufel mit diversen, insbesondere auch mit breiteren Reinigungsbesen genutzt werden. Die Kehrschaufel besteht vorzugsweise aus einem Kunststoff-Spritzguss. Dabei kann die Grundfläche als schiefwinkliges Dreieck ausgebildet sein. Bei einem schiefwinkligen Dreieck ergeben sich Schenkel mit jeweils verschiedenen Längen. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung verbessert nochmals die Ergonomie der Kehrschaufel.The attachment of the stem to the body can be asymmetric on a side wall. Due to the asymmetric attachment of the stem to the body, the dustpan is automatically always kept in sweeping so that the sweeping edge is aligned at an angle to the cleaning brush. Thus, the dustpan can be used with various, especially with wider cleaning brush. The dustpan is preferably made of a plastic injection molding. In this case, the base can be formed as a skewed triangle. In a skewed triangle, legs with different lengths each result. Such a configuration again improves the ergonomics of the dustpan.

Der Stiel kann gelenkig an dem Grundkörper befestigt sein. Die gelenkige Verbindung ermöglicht ein Zusammenklappen der Kehrschaufel, so dass diese besonders kompakt verstaut werden kann. Dabei können Rastmittel vorgesehen sein, durch die der Stiel in einer Arbeitsposition und in einer Lagerposition fixiert werden kann. Diese Rastmittel können als Schnappverbindung ausgebildet sein.The stem can be hinged to the body. The articulated connection allows folding the dustpan, so that it can be stowed very compact. It can be provided locking means by which the stem can be fixed in a working position and in a storage position. This locking means may be formed as a snap connection.

Der Stiel kann längenverstellbar sein. Besonders vorteilhaft erfolgt die Längenverstellung durch teleskopierbar ausgeführte Stielteile. Durch die Längenverstellung kann die Kehrschaufel nochmals kompakter verstaut werden. Des Weiteren kann die Länge des Stiels auf den Benutzer angepasst werden.The stem can be adjustable in length. Particularly advantageous length adjustment is done by telescopically executed stem parts. Due to the length adjustment, the dustpan can be stowed even more compact. Furthermore, the length of the stem can be adapted to the user.

Die Fegekante kann an dem längsten Schenkel des Grundkörpers angeordnet sein. Dadurch kann die Kehrschaufel noch besser mit anderen, insbesondere normalen oder auch breiteren Besen benutzt werden.The sweeping edge can be arranged on the longest leg of the base body. This allows the dustpan to be used even better with other, in particular normal or wider brooms.

Die Fegekante kann eine elastisch ausgebildete Lippe aufweisen. Die elastische Lippe kann mittels eines 2-Komponenten-Spritzguss an die Fegekante angespritzt sein oder aus einem separaten Bauteil aus elastomerem Werkstoff bestehen, die formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig an der Fegekante gehalten ist.The sweeping edge may have an elastically formed lip. The elastic lip can be injection molded by means of a 2-component injection molding to the sweeping edge or consist of a separate component made of elastomeric material which is held positively and / or non-positively on the sweeping edge.

Der Stiel kann einen T-förmigen Griff aufweisen. Der T-förmige Griff verbessert nochmals die Ergonomie der Kehrschaufel. Dabei kann der Griff zylindrisch oder auch tonnenförmig ausgebildet sein.The stem may have a T-shaped handle. The T-shaped handle further improves the ergonomics of the dustpan. In this case, the handle may be cylindrical or barrel-shaped.

An dem Stiel kann ein Besen befestigbar sein. Mit Besen und Kehrschaufel ergibt sich eine kompakte Reinigungseinheit. Die beiden zum Kehren notwendigen Reinigungsgeräte sind dabei jederzeit gemeinsam verfügbar. Der Besen kann einen Borstenkörper und einen Besenstiel umfassen, wobei der Besenstiel gelenkig mit dem Borstenkörper verbunden ist. Durch die gelenkige Verbindung kann auch der Besen zum Verstauen besonders kompakt zusammengeklappt werden. Das Gelenk kann dabei derart ausgeführt sein, dass der Besen Platz sparend in der zusammengeklappten Kehrschaufel untergebracht werden kannOn the stem, a broom can be fastened. With broom and dustpan results in a compact cleaning unit. The two cleaning devices necessary for sweeping are available together at any time. The broom may comprise a bristle body and a broomstick, the broomstick being hingedly connected to the bristle body. Through the articulated connection and the broom for stowing can be folded very compact. The joint can be designed such that the broom can be accommodated to save space in the folded dustpan

Der Besenstiel kann längenverstellbar sein. Besonders vorteilhaft erfolgt die Längenverstellung durch teleskopierbar ausgeführte Stielteile. Durch die Längenverstellung kann die Kehrschaufel nochmals kompakter verstaut werden. Des Weiteren kann die Länge des Stiels auf den Benutzer angepasst werden.The broomstick can be adjustable in length. Particularly advantageous length adjustment is done by telescopically executed stem parts. Due to the length adjustment, the dustpan can be stowed even more compact. Furthermore, the length of the stem can be adapted to the user.

Die Einrichtung zur Längenverstellung von Stiel und Besenstiel kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass eine Verstellung gemeinsam und gleichzeitig erfolgen kann. Das Zusammenklappen von Besen und Kehrschaufel kann dabei besonders schnell und effektiv erfolgen.The device for length adjustment of stem and broomstick can be designed such that an adjustment can be done together and simultaneously. The folding of broom and dustpan can be done very quickly and effectively.
