DE3500036A1 - Manual cleaning device for cleaning hard floors - Google Patents

Abstract

As a substitute for devices currently used, such as scrubbing-brushes, buckets, floor-cloths or mops, the manual cleaning device is to be used for cleaning hard floors. It has in each case a dispenser for the cleaning agent and carrier material (e.g. cotton fabric, nonwoven or chemical pulp products) and combines the functions of scrubbing-brushes, buckets and floor-cloths. It serves for wiping and for picking up dirt and considerably reduces the fitting and preparation times existing in the devices previously used.

Description

3. Description

Description Manual cleaning device for cleaning hard floors.

Genre of the registration The invention relates to a cleaning device that a supply of detergent as well as of the carrier material carries with it.

The carrier material is used for 'wiping' (by adding cleaning agent) as well as for taking up the remaining liquid on the floor after the mopping process.

State of the art For damp cleaning of hard floors in buildings of all kinds such as hospitals, retirement homes, schools, office buildings, etc. used a variety of cleaning equipment and methods.

Motorized vehicles are often used for cleaning traffic areas Cleaning machines used.

The rooms are furnished with furniture and can be cleaned with them Machines not too.

The device used for these rooms comes from the scrubber with pick-up and buckets over the wap with press to the mop with mop frame.

Thereby: 1. the cleaning agent is placed separately in a (mostly open) Container carried.

2. after each process of wiping or picking up the carrier (pick-up, Wap or mop) by rinsing, wringing out or by changing for the new work process prepared.

When cleaning hospitals are to avoid the spread of germs and to take special measures to combat hospitalism.

The '2-mop system' is often used here, with 1 Mop is used for 'wiping' and 'picking up' per room.

Criticism of the state The following applies to the devices currently in use: the technology 1. Significant travel and set-up times between the 'wiping' and 'picking up' operations.

2. Insufficient dosage of detergent when wiping. (initially too wet, towards the end too dry) still 3rd, description 3. mostly insufficient scrubbing effect and thus insufficient cleaning 4. in hospitals There are significant costs involved in cleaning the dirty pugs.

Task The invention is based on the task: 1. Travel and set-up times during cleaning and thereby increase performance.

2. To reduce the cost of equipment and materials used.

3. To accomplish a better, more adapted dosage of the detergents.

4. To make work easier for the staff.

Solution This object is achieved according to the invention in that the Functions of scrubber, pick-up and bucket are combined in one device.

The cleaning agent is carried along in the container of the device.

Pressing the dosing lever on the handle opens the outlet valve of the container.

The leaking cleaning agent now penetrates through the holes fitted base plate of the device into the carrier material covering.

by the frequency and duration of the actuation of the metering lever determine the supply of cleaning agent relatively precisely.

The device carries a supply of carrier material with it.

The carrier material is stretched over the base plate of the device.

Here, when detergent is supplied, it is used for wiping without detergent used for recording.

The change of the carrier material takes place in the form that by actuation the device handle the used material is wound up and thereby from the The supply of new carrier material is stretched over the base plate.

3., Description Achievable advantages The advantages of the device are in addition to the 4 points mentioned under 'Task' in the universal applicability of cleaning, disinfecting and care products in liquid form.

In addition, it allows the use of a large number of carrier materials with their specific properties.

The most important advantage, however, is economy of the device, which is achieved by reducing set-up times and saving on material costs justified.
