Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning element comprising a support body and elongated textile fringes, at least some of the fringes comprising several strands.
  • the fringes are fastened to the supporting body in such a way that the fringes hang down from the supporting body in the shape of a bell.
  • a handle is also attached to the support body on the other side.
  • the cleaning element with the support body and fringes and the handle attached to the support body form a cleaning device in the form of a mop, the cleaning element in this context also being referred to as a mop head.
  • Mops are used to clean floors with a damp cloth. Such mops are also known as fringe mops.
  • the fringes can be designed as more or less wide strips made of a textile fabric, for example made of nonwoven. Such fringes have a relatively large contact area with the floor to be cleaned. However, it is disadvantageous that such fringes are relatively stiff and inflexible during the wiping process. It is also known to form fringes from individual fiber strands. These can move more flexibly when cleaning. It is known to form the fringes from single or multiple strands.
  • Fringes which comprise several strands, are usually comparatively voluminous and can therefore use a larger amount of cleaning fluid and pick up dirt. This increases the area performance of the cleaning element. At the same time, however, the wet weight of the cleaning element also increases, which impairs the application.
  • the textile fringes can be made of both synthetic fibers and natural fibers. The use of synthetic or natural fibers depends on the requirements of the cleaning work and sustainability.
  • the fringes attached to the support body each comprise three strands which are arranged next to one another and fixed to one another.
  • the fringes have a flat, strip-like shape.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a cleaning element which has an improved cleaning performance.
  • the cleaning element comprises a support body and elongated textile fringes, at least some of the fringes comprising several strands, a first strand and a second strand running along the fringes and a third strand running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the fringes.
  • the third strand is preferably arranged in a different plane than in the horizontal plane formed by the first strand and the second strand.
  • the third strand which runs transversely to the longitudinal direction, spans its own horizontal plane. This can run above, below or transversely to the horizontal plane of the first strand and the second strand.
  • This arrangement results in a three-dimensional fringe due to the manufacturing process.
  • the fringe can deform even more three-dimensionally as a result of the action of moisture and / or heat. Both natural and synthetic fibers change their length when they come into contact with moisture and / or heat.
  • the moisture can come from the air or be cleaning fluid. Heat can be added during the cleaning process, for example using warm cleaning water, or during the manufacturing process of the fringes.
  • the fibers of the textile strands are made from natural fibers or plastic fibers and accordingly also change their length and shrink when they come into contact with moisture and / or heat. Both the first strand and the second strand as well as the third strand contract and shorten on contact with moisture and / or heat. Because the third strand runs transversely to the longitudinal extension of the fringes, when it comes into contact with moisture, not only is the fringe formed from the strands shortened, but also a three-dimensional deformation. This creates three-dimensionally shaped, voluminous fringes, which have a high cleaning performance.
  • the third strand which runs transversely to the longitudinal extension of the fringe, a different pretension.
  • the third strand can be processed with a greater pretension than the first strand and the second strand during the production of the fringe.
  • the first strand, the second strand and the third strand can form a knitted fabric.
  • the strands are connected to one another by stitching and thus firmly fixed to one another. This creates a dimensionally stable structure, the third strand being fixed to the first strand and the second strand in such a way that the third strand runs transversely to the longitudinal extension of the fringe.
  • the third strand preferably runs in a zigzag shape between the first strand and the second strand.
  • the third strand can each run at an angle of 45 ° between the first strand and the second strand.
  • the fringes can comprise a fourth strand, wherein the fourth strand, like the first strand and the second strand, runs along the fringes and wherein the fourth strand is arranged between the first strand and the second strand.
  • the third strand preferably runs in a zigzag shape between the first strand and the second strand over the fourth strand.
  • the third strand runs between the first strand and the fourth strand and between the third strand and the fourth strand. The strands shorten on contact with moisture, with the first strand and the second strand moving in the direction of the fourth strand due to the transverse third strand.
  • the fringes are preferably three-dimensional when viewed in cross section. Because the third strand is arranged between the first strand and the fourth strand and between the second strand and the fourth strand, the fringe rolls up, the first strand and the second strand moving towards one another. As a result, the fringe forms a kind of tube which is open between the first strand and the second strand. Such a fringe has a particularly large volume and is particularly well suited to receiving cleaning fluid. Another advantage is that in the cavity formed inside the strand Soiling can be absorbed particularly well and released back into the mopping water.
  • the strands of the fringes can form a knitted fabric.
  • the strands can be fixed to one another by means of a retaining thread.
  • the retaining thread has a significantly lower length-related mass and is used exclusively to fix the strands to one another.
  • the third strand can be tied to the other strands running in the longitudinal direction by means of loop formation.
  • the strands can be formed from multiple yarns. It is particularly conceivable that the strands are formed from yarns that differ from one another.
  • the first strand and the second strand can be formed from soft yarns which have a particularly high water absorption capacity and the third strand can be formed from a yarn which has a comparatively low water absorption capacity but has an abrasive effect.
  • the yarns are formed from fibers, whereby the fibers can be natural fibers or synthetic fibers.
  • the fibers can be natural fibers or synthetic fibers.
  • strands made from natural fibers cotton, linen, wool or silk are particularly suitable. But other natural fibers can also be used.
  • the strands can also be made from semi-synthetic fibers such as viscose.

  • the support body 2 has a receptacle for a stem 9, the receptacle preferably being designed such that the stem 9 can be fastened to the support body 2 by means of a screw fastening. Alternatively, clamping the handle 9 to the cleaning element is also conceivable.
