Abstract

Work clothes for cleaning work, characterized in that on the back of the work clothes a fixed or elastic hook or loop tape is attached to a Velcro strip and that the counterpart to the hook or loop strip of a Velcro strip is attached to the individually used long-handled cleaning utensils such as brooms, wipers or poles , whereby a shelf made of solid material on the shoulder prevents long-handled cleaning utensils such as broomsticks, wipers or poles from slipping off while working.

Description

Work clothing, e.g. work vests of the usual type, which are used in the cleaning area, consist of an upper and lower part, with various pockets being attached to the lower part of the work vest in the hip area in order to insert small cleaning utensils such as cleaning cloths, cloths, spray bottles, etc.

When wearing such a work vest, the cleaner would also have to carry the long-handled tools such as brooms, wipers or poles etc. separately with their hands, which means that they cannot carry out any cleaning work on the way upstairs.

From the DE 20 2013 002 298 U1 , U.S. 5,991,925A , U.S. 5,651,141 A and U.S. 3,535,709 A Garments are already known to which a wide variety of objects can be fastened.

The object of the present invention is to integrate an easily accessible and tangible holder for long-handled cleaning utensils such as broomsticks or poles on a work vest.

This object is achieved with the features listed in claim 1.

With the invention it is achieved that a cleaning worker is able to fasten vertical, long-handled cleaning utensils such as broomsticks or poles in a simple and effective way by wearing a work vest which has a fixed or elastic hook strip or loop strip of a Velcro strip on the back. Furthermore, the long-handled cleaning utensils are prevented from slipping off by a shelf made of solid material on the shoulder. The cleaner's hands remain free and ready for use, so that work can be carried out in an upright position when walking up the stairwell, which is extremely time-saving, as a lot of time is saved when walking up and down to the parked long-handled cleaning utensils.

The long-handled cleaning utensils themselves have the counterpart to the hook and loop fasteners integrated into the back of the work vest.

The shelf on the shoulder is made of a solid material such as plastic, metal or wood etc. and can be moon, L or U shaped.

The shelf enables upright work, which is very easy on the joints. Furthermore, by placing it on the shoulder, two operations can be carried out in a row without having to run up and down the stairs again, which also saves time.

The pre-treated damp rags with cleaning agent are distributed in the stairwell and then first the handle of the wiper with the rag is placed on the shelf on the shoulder when cleaning the stairs and four steps are swept with the long-handled broom. After the four steps, the broomstick is placed on the shelf to then use the wiper to wipe the four swept steps. This work is done in permanent alternation until all stages are cleaned with this working method.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is presented in claim 2.

According to this, at least two device holders are attached one above the other at hip height on the back of the work vest instead of the hook tape or loop tape of a Velcro tape, which are used with their two holding jaws made of plastic or rubber to lock the long-handled cleaning utensils.
