Definitions

  • Cleaning devices for toilet bowls, but also for other bowls, which can have liquid in the floor area are known in various embodiments. Most common is the permanently mounted on a siteslformigen handle toilet brush whose cleaning head is made of natural or synthetic bristles on the entire circumference or only partially applied to the lower end of the stalk '. The shape of the brush head can be designed very differently.
  • the sleeve-shaped cleaning part only covers the lower end of the holding and operating rod and is pocket-shaped, it swells and expands when handled in water and can come off in an uncontrolled manner despite the projections provided on the outside of the plates. This does not guarantee a reliable fit of the cleaning part. If, on the other hand, the cleaning part is not completely soaked, but only moistened, as can occur, for example, when cleaning flat-rinsing toilets, there is a risk during the wiping process that the cleaning part will stick to one of the two plates.
  • the cleaning part since it sticks to the wetted plates, can only be pushed on with the help of the second hand, which is important for the User is an extremely unhygienic and uncomfortable process because touching the • plates wetted with dirty water cannot be avoided.
  • the plates must not deform significantly, so they cannot be flexible. This means that certain areas of the toilet bowl cannot be cleaned at all, or cannot be cleaned conveniently and effectively, e.g. the area of the upper rinsing rim, the bottom of the odor trap or generally strongly curved surfaces.
  • This reusable holding and operating stick which is to be kept after use, is therefore to be regarded as a potential carrier of bacteria and other germs like the conventional toilet brushes and is to be regarded as unsanitary.
  • the cleaning device according to GM 82 19 086 is therefore not an improvement since it is to be regarded as inadequate both in terms of hygiene and handling.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of developing a cleaning device for basins which can contain liquid in the floor area, in particular for toilet bowls, in such a way that the hygienic and technical disadvantages of conventional cleaning brushes and also more recent cleaning devices with disposable cleaning heads are avoided, wherein an easy and safe to use device is to be created, which the user can use without danger of coming into contact with dirt or moisture, directly and without complex constructions.
  • the cleaning device accordingly consists of a holding and operating part made of metal, wood or plastic and a cleaning part pushed onto it, intended only for single use, which consists of a sleeve part and a cleaning head that is firmly and preferably liquid-tightly connected to it.
  • the cleaning head can be used as a brush made of known materials such as natural, plastic or paper bristles or made of paper or wood wool, as a sponge, preferably made of foam or other plastics, as a tampon made of cellulose, cotton wool, cleaning wool or the like or as a scraper made of rubber, plastic, paper, foam, cardboard or cellulose.
  • the sleeve part is designed in the area of the greatest possible immersion depth as a protective zone which is designed in such a way that it either only allows moisture to penetrate to a small extent or at least for a limited time.
  • the protection zone may be in a bottom and a lateral protection zone are divided that may s su b-from the same or from different materials that are impervious to liquids during use time is preferably 'at least.
  • Possible materials are:. Plastic or metal foil 0 or paper, pulp or textile fabrics, chemicals which, if necessary, with Chemi ⁇ , varnishes, waxes, resins, "oils, paraffins, fats, Lösun ⁇ gen, bituminous materials, adhesives or glues are treated .
  • the lateral protection zone can extend over the entire length of the sleeve part. If it does not reach the upper end of the sleeve part, it must be at least longer than the greatest possible immersion depth in the toilet bowl. .
  • the holding and operating part can now be removed drip-free from the area of the toilet bowl and kept in a " hygienically perfect condition for reuse.
  • the length of the sleeve part should preferably be dimensioned such that it extends approximately a hand's width beyond the pool edge at the greatest possible immersion depth, so that it is ensured that it is handled in the clean area after use and by the holding and operating part can be stripped.
  • the sleeve part is designed in terms of material and dimensions so that it has the stiffness necessary for handling when dry. possesses the flexibility required to pass the odor trap curvature of the toilet bowl. It can be designed with a small cross section and thin wall thickness.
  • the sleeve part can be equipped with stiffeners, which can consist, for example, of adhesives, glues or other suitable materials if they are not achieved by material deformation or material reinforcements.
  • holes are provided above the largest possible immersion area in the sleeve part, which allow water to penetrate more easily when flushing away and thereby accelerate the submersion of the cleaning part.
  • the stripping device is outside the holding and operating part, it can e.g. are designed as a scraper ring which is pushed over the lengthwise split holding and operating part, as will be explained in detail later using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the cleaning device according to the invention offers over the known cleaning 'ungsettin toilet bowl following advantages: ⁇ It enables reliable and hygienic handling what one of the previously known and commonly used waters ⁇ devices can not be said with certainty.
  • the space required for storing both the holding and operating part and the stock of disposable cleaning parts is very small due to the narrow shape of the device, and the disposable cleaning parts can be stored in commercially available packaging boxes.
  • the cleaning device is to be handled hygienically, so that greater readiness for use and, consequently, greater cleanliness in toilet bowls can be expected.
  • the cleaning device according to the invention is particularly suitable for immediate use. Since dirt can be easily removed when wet, the cleaning part need not have a high strength and is therefore particularly suitable for washing away. 0
