Beschreibungdescription
Technisches GebietTechnical area
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungsgerät, umfassend einen an dem ein in der Draufsicht sechseckig oder zitronenförmig ausgebildeten Tragkörper Reinigungskörper lösbar befestigbar ist, wobei der Tragkörper einen Begrenzungsrand aufweist.The invention relates to a cleaning device, comprising one to which a in the plan view hexagonal or lemon-shaped support body cleaning body is releasably fastened, wherein the support body has a boundary edge.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Derartige Reinigungsgeräte sind aus der DE 201 20 211 U1 bekannt. Das vorbekannte Reinigungsgerät weist einen plattenförmigen Tragkörper an dem auf einer Seite Halteleisten angeordnet sind, mittels derer ein als Schwamm ausgebildeter Reinigungskörper lösbar an dem Tragkörper fixiert werden kann. Das vorbekannte Reinigungsgerät findet seinen Einsatz vorwiegend bei der Reinigung von Scheiben von Kraftfahrzeugen, die meistens konvex ausgebildet sind. Bei der Reinigung von konkaven Flächen, beispielsweise im Sanitärbereich ist nachteilig, dass der Reinigungskörper im Bereich des Begrenzungsrandes stark komprimiert wird und der Begrenzungsrand des Tragkörpers mit der zu reinigenden Fläche in Eingriff gelangen kann. Dabei kann der zu reinigende Gegenstand beschädigt werden und das Reinigungsergebnis verschlechtert sich. Darstellung der ErfindungSuch cleaning devices are known from DE 201 20 211 U1. The previously known cleaning device has a plate-shaped support body on which retaining strips are arranged on one side, by means of which a trained as a sponge cleaning body can be releasably fixed to the support body. The previously known cleaning device finds its use mainly in the cleaning of windows of motor vehicles, which are usually convex. When cleaning concave surfaces, for example in the sanitary area is disadvantageous that the cleaning body is highly compressed in the region of the boundary edge and the boundary edge of the support body can engage with the surface to be cleaned. In this case, the object to be cleaned can be damaged and the cleaning result deteriorates. Presentation of the invention
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Reinigungsgerät bereitzustellen, welches eine verbesserte Reinigungswirkung auf konkav ausgebildeten Flächen aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a cleaning device having an improved cleaning effect on concave surfaces.
Die Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.The object is achieved with the features of claim 1. In advantageous embodiments, the dependent claims relate.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe überragt der Reinigungskörper den Begrenzungsrand des Tragkörpers. Dabei ist der Reinigungskörper flexibel ausgebildet und folgt dadurch der Kontur des zu reinigenden Gegenstandes. Der Begrenzungsrand kann dabei nicht mit dem zu reinigenden Gegenstand in Berührung gelangen. Allerdings vergrößert sich im Bereich des Begrenzungsrandes die Anpresskraft des Reinigungskörpers an den zu reinigenden Gegenstand, so dass sich eine verbesserte Reinigungswirkung insbesondere stärker konkav gekrümmter Flächen ergibt. Dadurch ist das Reinigungsgerät insbesondere zur Reinigung von Gegenständen im Sanitärbereich geeignet. Die Kontur des Reinigungskörpers ist durch zumindest zwei Linien gebildet, die an zumindest zwei Stellen spitz zusammenlaufen. Dabei ist der Reinigungskörper in der Draufsicht betrachtet in einer Ausgestaltung zitronenförmig ausgebildet. Durch die beiden Spitzen verbessert sich die Reinigungswirkungswirkung in schwer zugänglichen Ecken. Der Tragkörper weist in dieser Ausgestaltung eine ähnliche Form auf. In der anderen Ausgestaltung ist der Reinigungskörper sechseckig ausgebildet. In dieser Ausgestaltung ergeben sich ebenfalls zumindest zwei Spitzen die die Reinigung schwer zugänglicher Ecken verbessern und darüber hinaus zumindest zwei gerade ausgebildete Kanten, die an gerade verlaufenden Kanten des zu reinigenden Gegenstandes angelegt werden können. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Reinigungskörper so ausgebildet, dass er direkt mit der zu reinigenden Oberfläche in Kontakt gebracht werden kann. Beispielweise kann er durch einen offenporigen Schaumstoff gebildet sein, der eine hohe Wasseraufnahmekapazität aufweist, so dass der Reinigungskörper mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit getränkt werden kann. Die Befestigung des Reinigungskörpers an dem Tragkörper erfolgt vorzugsweise derart, dass er zum Wechseln leicht lösbar ist.To solve the task, the cleaning body projects beyond the boundary edge of the support body. In this case, the cleaning body is flexible and thus follows the contour of the object to be cleaned. The boundary edge can not come into contact with the object to be cleaned. However, in the region of the boundary edge, the contact pressure of the cleaning body on the object to be cleaned increases, so that an improved cleaning effect, in particular of more concave curved surfaces, results. As a result, the cleaning device is particularly suitable for cleaning objects in the sanitary area. The contour of the cleaning body is formed by at least two lines that converge at least two points pointed. In this case, the cleaning body in a plan view is formed lemon-shaped in an embodiment. The two tips improve the cleaning effect in hard to reach corners. The support body has a similar shape in this embodiment. In the other embodiment, the cleaning body is hexagonal. In this embodiment, at least two tips also improve the cleaning hard to reach corners and beyond at least two straight edges that can be applied to straight edges of the object to be cleaned. According to the invention, the cleaning body is designed so that it can be brought into direct contact with the surface to be cleaned. For example, it can be formed by an open-cell foam having a high water absorption capacity, so that the Cleaning body can be soaked with cleaning fluid. The attachment of the cleaning body to the support body is preferably such that it is easily removable for changing.
Der Reinigungskörper kann eine Längserstreckung und eine Quererstreckung aufweisen, wobei die Längserstreckung größer ist als die Quererstreckung. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ergibt sich eine Wischrichtung mit einer breiten Wischfläche und eine weitere Wischrichtung bei der schmale Bereiche besonders gut zugänglich sind.The cleaning body may have a longitudinal extent and a transverse extent, wherein the longitudinal extent is greater than the transverse extent. In this embodiment, a wiping direction with a wide wiping surface and a further wiping direction results in the narrow areas are particularly well accessible.
Der Tragkörper kann mit einem Stiel verbunden sein. Dabei kann die Verbindung über ein Gelenk erfolgen, wodurch sich die Flexibilität erhöht. Durch den Stiel verbessert sich Ergonomie des Reinigungsgerätes, da tiefe Flächen ohne Bücken erreichbar sind. Des Weiteren kann die Reinigungskraft über den Stiel leicht dosiert werden und das Reinigungsgerät kann gegebenenfalls mit beiden Händen bedient werden.The support body may be connected to a stem. The connection can be made via a joint, which increases the flexibility. The handle improves the ergonomics of the cleaning device, as deep surfaces can be reached without bending over. Furthermore, the cleaning power can be easily dosed on the stem and the cleaning device can optionally be operated with both hands.
Der Stiel kann eine Länge von 30 bis 140 cm aufweisen. Dadurch weist das Reinigungsgerät einen geringen Plattbedarf auf und das Reinigungsgerät ist mit Unterstützung des Stiels auch zur Reinigung von Flächen einsetzbar, die oberhalb des Bodenniveaus liegen.The stem may have a length of 30 to 140 cm. As a result, the cleaning device has a low plate requirement and the cleaning device can be used with the support of the handle also for cleaning surfaces that are above the floor level.
Der Reinigungskörper kann kraft- und/der formschlüssig an dem Tragkörper befestigbar sein. Dabei ist der Reinigungskörper leicht und zerstörungsfrei von dem Tragkörper lösbar, um beispielsweise für einen anderen Reinigungszweck einen angepassten Reinigungskörper an dem Tragkörper befestigen zu können oder den Reinigungskörper durch einen neuen Reinigungskörper zu ersetzen. In einer Ausgestaltung kann die Befestigung mittels einer Schwalbenschwanz- Verbindung oder eine andere Klemmverbindung erfolgen.The cleaning body can force and / or be fastened to the support body in a form-fitting manner. In this case, the cleaning body is easily and non-destructively detachable from the support body, for example, to be able to fasten a matched cleaning body to the support body for another purpose of cleaning or to replace the cleaning body with a new cleaning body. In one embodiment, the attachment can be done by means of a dovetail connection or another clamping connection.
Der Reinigungskörper kann mittels eines Klettverschlusses an dem Tragkörper befestigbar sein. Durch den Klettverschluss ergibt sich ein fester Halt bei gleichzeitig leichter Lösbarkeit. Die Befestigung ist besonders einfach und die Verbindung kann sich während der Reinigung verstärken.The cleaning body can be fastened to the support body by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. The Velcro closure results in a firm grip at the same time easier solubility. The attachment is particularly easy and the connection can strengthen during cleaning.
Die Haken des Klettverschlusses können materialeinheitlich und einstückig mit dem Tragkörper ausgebildet sein. Ein Klettverschluss weist Haken undThe hooks of the hook and loop fastener can be formed of the same material and in one piece with the support body. A velcro has hooks and
Schlaufen auf, wobei zum Befestigen Schlaufen und Haken in Eingriff gebracht werden und miteinander verhaken. Die Schlaufen können durch ein Polyamid- Gewebe gebildet sein, welches auf der dem Tragkörper zugewandten Seite des Reinigungskörpers angeordnet ist. Durch die materialeinheitliche Ausführung von Haken und Tragkörper reduzieren sich die Herstellungsschritte und die Herstellungskosten des Reinigungsgerätes.Loops, which are used for fastening loops and hooks engaged and hooked together. The loops can be formed by a polyamide fabric, which is arranged on the side facing the support body of the cleaning body. Due to the uniform material design of hooks and support body reduce the manufacturing steps and the manufacturing cost of the cleaning device.
Der Reinigungskörper kann aus einem Schaumstoff gebildet sein. Dabei kann der Reinigungskörper aus einem Polyurethan- oder einen Zelluloseschaum gebildet sein, der auch offenporig ausgebildet sind kann. Schaumstoff, insbesondere ein offenporiger, ist durch eine hohe Wasseraufnahmekapazität gekennzeichnet. Des Weiteren ist der Schaumstoff je nach Ausgestaltung zumindest im nassen Zustand sehr flexibel.The cleaning body may be formed from a foam. In this case, the cleaning body may be formed from a polyurethane or a cellulose foam, which may also be open-pored. Foam, in particular an open-pore, is characterized by a high water absorption capacity. Furthermore, the foam is very flexible, at least when wet, depending on the design.
Der Reinigungskörper kann eine Abrasivschicht aufweisen. Die Abrasivschicht kann durch zerkleinerte Polyurethan-Partikel gebildet sein. Durch die Abrasivschicht verbessert sich die Reinigungswirkung gegenüber fest anhaftenden Verschmutzungen, beispielsweise von Seifenrändern in Badewannen. Die Abrasivschicht kann auch aus Fasern bestehen, die mit einem Klebstoff getränkt sind.The cleaning body may have an abrasive layer. The abrasive layer may be formed by comminuted polyurethane particles. The abrasive layer improves the cleaning effect against firmly adhering soiling, for example from soap edges in bathtubs. The abrasive layer can also consist of fibers that are impregnated with an adhesive.
Der Reinigungskörper kann den Begrenzungsrand des Tragkörpers um mindestens 1 cm überragen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine hohe Flexibilität des Reinigungskörpers.The cleaning body may project beyond the boundary edge of the support body by at least 1 cm. This results in a high flexibility of the cleaning body.
An dem Tragkörper kann ein Reinigungstuch befestigbar sein. Durch ein zusätzlich anbringbares Reinigungstuch erhöht sich das Nutzungsspektrum des Reinigungsgerätes. Je nach Ausgestaltung des Reinigungstuches ist das Reinigungsgerät zum Staubwischen oder zur Zwischendurch-Feuchtreinigung von Böden einsetzbar. In der ersten Ausgestaltung können vorzugsweise trockene Vliesstofftücher aufgespannt werden und in der zweiten Ausgestaltung können mit einer Reinigungslösung vorbefeuchtete Reinigungstücher aufgespannt werden.On the support body, a cleaning cloth can be fastened. An additional attachable cleaning cloth increases the range of use of the Cleaning device. Depending on the configuration of the cleaning cloth, the cleaning device for dusting or for intermediate-wet cleaning of floors is used. In the first embodiment, dry nonwoven fabrics can preferably be stretched and in the second embodiment, pre-moistened cleaning cloths can be stretched with a cleaning solution.
Der Reinigungskörper kann eine Erhebung aufweisen, die im Wesentlichen kongruent zu einer Ausnehmung des Tragkörpers ausgebildet sein kann. Die Erhebung kann dabei gleichzeitig als Handgriff und als Befestigungselement dienen. Dabei können zumindest zwei einander gegenüber liegende Seiten der Erhebung als Schwalbenschwanzprofil ausgebildet sein, wobei die Erhebung in eine kongruent ausgebildete Vertiefung des Tagkörpers eingreift.The cleaning body may have a protrusion, which may be formed substantially congruent to a recess of the support body. The survey can serve at the same time as a handle and as a fastener. In this case, at least two mutually opposite sides of the survey may be formed as a dovetail profile, wherein the survey engages in a congruently formed depression of the Tagkörpers.
