Description

The The invention relates to a mop-washing and wringing system for floor wipers with hinged on the handle attached holding plate, consisting of a relatively high container for the Intake of cleaning fluid, with a brushing device in it, and one in the upper area of the container arranged device for dehumidifying the previously in the cleaning liquid the brushed Wiping covering.

At the Wet mopping of floors are often used work tools, which a hinged on the stem attached retaining plate for recording have a mop.

cleaning systems for such implements consist of the prior art usually from a bucket and a associated Wringing or squeezing device.

The Cleaning the mop covers, is usually limited on the immersion, swinging and / or ejection with Dirty covers in the container located cleaning fluid or on the spraying of the wiper cover with cleaning fluid.

Of the Disadvantage of these cleaning methods is that the mop covers here only insufficiently clean, especially hair, lint and coarse Dirt stick to it, so that often refinished by hand must become. This work is for the executive Person very uncomfortable.

at progressive activity the wiping water gets more and more polluted and those in the water Dirt particles, especially hair and lint, remain when washing again on the mop covers hang, so that a hygienic cleaning of the floor without constant water or mop change hardly possible is.

In addition, must the soiled mop cover first completely or partially detached from the folding holder and after the cleaning and wringing be reapplied. This is awkward and time-consuming, because this process often does not succeed right away.

at progressive cleaning activity it is appropriate, the container accordingly to avoid long distances. Hereby prove The usually low and heavy buckets are quite impractical. The person using must bend down, the bucket with one hand lift and carry while she carries the mop with the other hand.

she is thus fully utilized and has no more free hand to more objects take.

Furthermore Most systems are due to their relatively large bucket footprint and the separately to stowing implement quite bulky and stress therefore a lot of storage space.

Of these, Based on the object of the invention, the above Eliminate problems and optimal cleaning of one on one Holding plate mounted mop cover and a particularly good To allow handling of the cleaning system.

By the protection specified in claim 1 invention is a mop wash and wringing system created, with very little physical and temporal effort the mop cover of a commercial Floor wiper with swivel joint, without this from the retaining plate to solve, satisfactorily cleans for the next cleaning process in just one operation and a regulation of the residual moisture in the mop allows.

Of the container has a relatively small footprint, is for that but much higher as a normal cleaning bucket, making the work comfortable while standing can.

The Clean the wiper lining is done by the vertical insertion of the with the mop covered holding plate in the container, wherein the implement is held on a stick. By then moving up and down the implement in the lower part of the container is the mop on the brushes therein, which is in the cleaning fluid are located, stripped and thus thoroughly washed out. hair and lint remain stuck in the brushes and thus pollute not the mop water.

in the upper area of the container is perpendicular over the brushing device arranged a squeezing, whereby the previously cleaned mop cover is dehumidified immediately when pulling out of the container.

Preferably the squeezing device is at least half the wiper lining length of the upper brush away. This will ensure that the squeezing process can be repeated several times if necessary, to reduce the residual moisture.

A significant advantage of the invention is that the wiper surface here with only a few up and down movements of stubborn dirt and it adhering hair and lint is released.

By the comfortable height the container is it is possible the mop in the container to leave while this is transported as the cleaning work progresses, which has the advantage that the wiper does not fall over during this time can and the cleaning person still has a hand free. During the Transportes there is no danger that liquid will be spilled, because the container edge is far above the Water level is located.

In the storage position, it is possible to turn the mop So with the stem down, put in the container, so that the Wiper surface can dry well. Remaining moisture remaining would be here drip down into the container. The storage is very due to the relatively small footprint space-saving.

In In a particularly preferred variant, the brushes are made a unit, which in the container solvable is attached. Thereby can These are removed for cleaning if necessary.

The Dehumidifying device may, for example, in the form of some with spacing strung stripping blades from light flexible, smooth material such as hard rubber, which when pulling the wiper from the container a Apply pressure to the mop pad and thus the excess moisture squeezes out and down into the container scrapes.

Preferably a mechanism is provided, which due to the insertion of the wiper carrier the preferably rotatably mounted scraper on this passed downwards and this afterwards returns to the horizontal extrusion position, which upwards is limited by a lock.

The The squeezing and wiping device is releasably secured in the container for removal the brushes positioned underneath to enable.

In a special embodiment variant is the squeezing and stripping device with the brushing device connected and locked together with this releasably in the container.

Of the container has centrally on a side wall a vertically extending guide rail to Pick up the wiper handle. The opening of the preferably C-shaped guide rail points inside the container, In contrast, the washing device, which in the form of preferably two vertically above the other arranged brushes is arranged.

Of the Distance from guide rail to the brushes is sized so that an optimal stripping of the mop cover allows becomes.

In a preferred embodiment Is it possible, the distance of the brushes and the squeezing device to change the guide rail to the Contact pressure for different thickness mop pads to be able to regulate.

In In another embodiment, the distance between the brushes to each other as well as the horizontal arrangement of the brushes are varied. this has the advantage that the device used for different lengths wiper covers can be.

advantageously, is the container provided at its lower end with wheels / wheels preferably are positioned such that the cleaning device from liquid container and Wet mopping device be moved in tilted position by pulling on the wiper handle can.

advantageously, located in the upper area of the container a handle and / or a support bracket where the container both pulled and carried.

Especially to facilitate pouring can the container identify a recessed grip on the floor.

The Mop washing and wringing system is for the private household, as also for suitable for use in commercial and public buildings.

The System consists of only a few simple components and is thus economical in comparison to elaborate ones Equipment.

In the drawing is an embodiment of Invention shown schematically and will be explained with reference to the figures.

1 shows a Wischmopwasch- and Auswringsystem invention in a Schnittdar tellung. The mop washer and wringer system consists of a liquid container ( 1 ), a brushing device ( 2 ), consisting of two horizontally extending to the container bottom brushes ( 5 . 6 ) and a squeezing device ( 3 ). The distance of the upper brush ( 5 ) to the container bottom is slightly larger than the length of the mop to be cleaned, so that it is reached in the uppermost area in its end position of the brush.

At the side opposite the brush side wall of the container is centrally a vertically extending guide rail ( 4 ) for receiving the wiper handle ( 13 ) of the wet mop.

The squeezing device ( 3 ) is located in the uppermost region of the container, just below its edge and is in one axis ( 7 ) rotatably mounted. It consists of several scrapers lined up at a distance from each other ( 8th ). The device is preferably provided with a mechanism which pushes the scrapers away when inserting the wiper plate (FIG. 14 ), as in 3 shown, allows and then brings them back into the horizontal position, which is bounded above by a stop / Sprerre.
