Description

SCOURING BODY
Description Technical Field The invention relates to a scouring body including a textile sheet which is provided with a scouring agent composition, whereby the scouring agent composition includes a binder and scouring particles, whereby the textile sheet has a cleaning surface with a relief pattern.

State of the Art The scouring body is known from DE 298 02 421 U1 which includes as carrier material a textile sheet that is provided with a scouring agent composition.
The textile sheet consists of a non-woven material which was mechanically consolidated by needling or water jets. A scouring agent composition is applied to the sheet which includes a chemical binder and abrasive particles. The known scouring body is suited for the take-up or absorption of aqueous substances and the loosening of strongly adhered soiling on the basis of the abrasive action of the scouring agent composition.
It is a disadvantage of a thin, flexibly constructed scouring body that the transfer of force is limited because of limited gripping options. Furthermore, the force transfer occurs mainly only at that location at which pressure is exerted onto the scouring body.

Description of the Invention It is an object of the invention to provide a scouring body with an effective force transmission.
This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments are dealt with in the dependent claims.
For the achievement of this object, the sheet is provided with a sponge body.
The textile sheet is thereby constructed as a non-woven fabric made of artificial fibers and preferably consolidated by water jets. The thickness of the sheet is between 0.8 and 3 mm and the surface weight is between 50 and 200 g/mm2. Such sheets have a low surface weight and a low density and simultaneously a high tensile strength. The sponge body forms a carrier body which offers a plurality of gripping options.
In this manner, a force can be effectively transferred in different manner onto the sheet provided with the scouring agent composition, so that a good cleaning performance is achieved with respect to strongly adhered soiling. The relief pattern further improves the cleaning effect of the scouring body. The relief pattern can thereby be formed by a nub structure, whereby the nubs are hexagonally positioned. It can be avoided with this that dirt packs the abrasive surface, since the dirt accumulates in the recesses between the nubs and thereby does not influence the scouring process.
The sponge body can be formed of an open porous plastic foam or a natural sponge. The foam can thereby be made especially of polyurethane or rayon.
Foams made of these materials are cost efficiently manufactured and have good mechanical properties so that they can be easily gripped and can transmit forces. Rayon has a high water absorption capacity.
A further textile sheet can be positioned on the sponge body. The scouring body is preferably shaped as a rectangular prism and has two main surfaces.
The sheet with the scouring composition is thereby positioned on a first main surface.
The further textile sheet is positioned on the second main surface located opposite the first main surface. This sheet preferably also consists of a non-woven fabric with artificial fibers, whereby the non-woven fabric is constructed such that the second sheet has a high water absorption. The second main surface is useful for the after treatment of surfaces which were already cleaned with the first main surface and for the take-up of liquids.

The further sheet can include microfibers. Microfibers have a fiber diameter which is smaller than one m. The sheets of microfibers which are used have a high absorptive capacity for liquids such as water and fats.
The scouring agent composition can include granular glass. Granular glass has a high hardness and is especially suited for the cleaning of glass or ceramic surfaces, for example ceramic glass cooking surfaces or fireplace windows.
The binder can be latex, phenolic resin and/or acrylate-based. A phenolic resin-based binder has a high hardness and a high abrasion resistance. In another embodiment, the binder can be acrylate. Acrylate-based binders have a pleasing hand.
Latex-based binders have a high elasticity. Mixtures of the latex and phenolic resin binders have, because of the phenolic resin, a high torsional rigidity, whereby the torsional rigidity is lowered by the latex portion to such a degree that the scouring body can be well wrung out. In a further embodiment, the binder consists of a mixture of acrylate and phenolic resin. The properties of both binder materials then influence the hand and the hardness of the material. The binder can then be formed on the sheet in such a way that the sheet is essentially water impermeable. A film of cleaning liquid thereby remains between the sheet with the scouring agent composition and the surface to be cleaned. Dirt is dissolved in the cleaning liquid and a gentle and effective cleaning of the surface to be cleaned is achieved. The binder can also be formed in such a way that the sheet is flexurally resistant. This results in an especially good force transmission and an improved cleaning effect with respect to strongly adhered dirt. Further possible binders are melamine resin, nitrile caoutchouc , polyurethane or compositions of all mentioned binders.
The sponge body can be rectangular, whereby the edges have a wavy contour.
Hard to reach locations can thereby be effectively cleaned. A multitude of possible gripping options result.
The mutually opposingly positioned edges can be congruent to one another.
The scouring body is mostly produced from a web-based pre-product by stamping out. By way of this shaping, a loss-free and thereby cost efficient manufacture of scouring bodies with wavy edge shape is achieved.
The scouring body can have a thickness of 2 to 5 cm. Many gripping options and a good force transmission result especially with a thickness of the scouring body of 4 cm.
The prescribed scouring body is suitable because of its advantageous construction especially for the use of the cleaning of glass and/or ceramic surfaces.
Brief Description of the Drawings Several embodiments of the scouring body in accordance with the invention are in the following further described by way of the Figures. They respectively schematically illustrate:

Fig. 1 shows a scouring body in perspective illustration;
Fig. 2 shows a scouring body according to Figure 1 in a side view.
Embodiment of the Invention Figure 1 shows a scouring body 1 especially for the cleaning of glass and/or ceramic surfaces. The scouring body 1 consists of a textile sheet 2 which forms a cleaning surface 6 with a relief pattern 7 formed by protruding nubs. The sheet 2 is positioned on a sponge body 8 and directly connected therewith by an adhesive bond.
The sponge body 8 is formed in this embodiment of an open-celled polyurethane foam. The scouring body 1 is rectangularly shaped and the edges 10,11, 12, 13 of the scouring body I have a curved contour, whereby the usually opposingly located edges and 11 as well as 12 and 13 are respectively congruently shaped to one another.
10 The scouring body 1 has a thickness of 4 cm. A textile sheet 9 which has microfibers with a fiber diameter of less than 1 gm is positioned on the side of the sponge body 8 which lies opposite the cleaning surface 6. The further sheet 9 is also directly connected with the sponge body 8 by adhesive bonding.
Figure 2 shows the scouring body 1 according to Figure 1 in another view.
The sheet 2 consists of a water jet consolidated non-woven material of artificial fibers with different surfaces weights between 15 and 200 g/m2. The sheet 2 is provided with a scouring agent composition 3 which itself includes a binder 4 and scouring particles 5. The binder 4 consists in this embodiment of a composition of latex and phenolic resin. The scouring particles 5 consists of glass granulate. The composition of the binder 4 is selected such that the sheet 2 is water impermeable and stiff to bend and can be well wrung out. The properties of binder 4 can be achieved by a downstream heat treatment. The total thickness of the sheet 2 is between 0.9 and 2 mm.

For the manufacture of the scouring body 1, a textile sheet 2 formed of a non-woven material is first manufactured from a fiber material. The consolidation of the textile sheet 2 occurs by way of water jet consolidation. The shaping of the cleaning surface 6 occurs in the same process step. The relief pattern 7 with the nubs is also produced by water jet consolidation. The scouring agent composition 3 is produced by mixing of the binder composition 4 with the scouring particles 5 of glass granulate.
The scouring agent composition 3 is applied by spraying onto the cleaning surface.
The sheet 2 can be heat treated in an oven for the hardening of the scouring agent composition 3. The sheet 2 is subsequently glued onto a pre-product web consisting of an open-celled polyurethane foam. In other embodiments, the sponge body 8 can also consist of rayon. A further sheet 9 is glued onto the oppositely located side.
The scouring body 1 with the curved edges 10, 11, 12, 13 is subsequently stamped out of the web-shaped pre-product.
