Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wischtuchreinigungssystem bestehend aus einem Behälter für eine Flüssigkeit, wobei der Behälter eine Sollfüllstand definiert, und einer mit dem Behälter verbindbaren Pressvorrichtung, die einen Griff aufweist, der so positioniert ist, dass er bei zum Sollfüllstand gefüllten Behälter in der Senkrechten oberhalb des gemeinsamen Schwerpunkts von Wischtuchreinigungssystem und Flüssigkeit liegt.The invention relates to a wiping cloth cleaning system comprising a container for a liquid, wherein the container defines a desired level, and a compressible device which can be connected to the container and which has a handle which is positioned so that it is in the vertical above the container filled with the desired filling level common focus of wiper cleaning system and liquid lies.

Aus der BE 513026 A ist ein derartiges Wischtuchreinigungssystem mit einer Presse für Wischtücher bekannt, bei dem eine an einem Eimer befestigbare Walzenpresse mit einem Henkel derart positioniert ist, dass der Henkel in der vertikalen Ebene des Schwerpunktes angeordnet ist. Dieses Wischtuchreinigungssystem erlaubt zwar den Transport an dem Henkel, ohne dass der Eimer kippt, ist aber hinsichtlich der Gefahr des Überschwappens von Flüssigkeit nicht optimal. Gleiches gilt für eine ähnliche Pressvorrichtung, die aus der EP 1 138 246 A2 bekannt ist.From the BE 513026 A is such a wipe cleaning system with a press for wipes is known in which a fastened to a bucket roller press is positioned with a handle such that the handle is arranged in the vertical plane of the center of gravity. Although this wipe cleaning system allows the transport to the handle without the bucket tips, but is not optimal in terms of the risk of spilling over liquid. The same applies to a similar pressing device, from the EP 1 138 246 A2 is known.

Aus EP 0 442 647 B1 wiederum ist eine Auswringvorrichtung mit einem Putzeimer bekannt. Der Putzeimer ist mit Rollen versehen, um einen Transport der gefüllten Auswringvorrichtung zu ermöglichen. Zum Ausgießen des Wischwassers muss die Auswringvorrichtung vom Putzeimer abgenommen werden.Out EP 0 442 647 B1 in turn, a wringer with a cleaning bucket is known. The cleaning bucket is provided with rollers to allow transport of the filled wringer. To pour out the wiper water, the wringer must be removed from the cleaning bucket.

Aus DE 196 01 665 A1 ist eine Presseinrichtung mit einer wasserabführenden Pressauflage und einem die Winkelbewegung einer Presseinheit relativ zu der eines Betätigungshebels vergrößernden Übertragungssystem, wobei sowohl die Pressauflage als auch die Presseinheit gegeneinander konkav ausgeführt und mit ineinandergreifenden Durchbrüchen bzw. Zinken versehen sind, bekannt. Zum Transport oder zum Ausgießen muss die Presseinrichtung umständlich von untern gegriffen und balanciert werden.Out DE 196 01 665 A1 is a pressing device with a wasserabführenden pressing pad and the angular movement of a pressing unit relative to that of an actuating lever magnifying transmission system, both the pressing pad and the pressing unit against each concave and provided with interlocking openings or tines are known. For transport or pouring the press device must be cumbersome grasped and balanced from below.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wischtuchreinigungssystem anzugeben, das - insbesondere gefüllt - sicherer und einfacher transportiert werden kann und das ein einfaches und sicheres Ausgießen der Flüssigkeit erlaubt.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a wipe cleaning system, which - in particular filled - safer and easier to be transported and which allows a simple and safe pouring the liquid.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Wischtuchreinigungssystem gelöst, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Pressvorrichtung ein Verschlusselement aufweist, mit dem die Öffnung des Behälters zumindest teilweise verschließbar ist.The object is achieved by a wipe cleaning system, which is characterized in that the pressing device has a closure element, with which the opening of the container is at least partially closed.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass das Wischtuchreinigungssystem nicht nur an dem Griff, der vorzugsweise als Tragegriff ausgebildet ist, einfach und sicher transportiert werden kann. Ein Tragebügel am Behälter (Putzeimerbügel), der möglicherweise aufwendig über die Pressvorrichtung hinweg geschwenkt werden muss, ist, wie auch bei den bekannten Vorrichtungen vollkommen überflüssig.The invention has the advantage that the wipe cleaning system can not only be easily and safely transported to the handle, which is preferably designed as a carrying handle. A carrying handle on the container (cleaning ruler), which may need to be pivoted over the pressing device time consuming, is completely superfluous, as in the known devices.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Pressvorrichtung nun ein Verschlusselement auf, mit dem die Öffnung des Behälters zumindest teilweise verschließbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann der gefüllte Behälter gefahrlos transportiert werden ohne dass Putzwasser austreten kann. Ganz besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Variante, bei der das Verschlusselement mit dem verschwenkbaren Presselement verbunden ist.According to the invention, the pressing device now has a closure element, with which the opening of the container is at least partially closed. In this way, the filled container can be transported safely without the cleaning water can escape. Especially advantageous is a variant in which the closure element is connected to the pivotable pressing element.

Die erfindungsgemäße Pressvorrichtung ist in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsform zumindest teilweise in oder auf den Behälter ein- bzw. aufsetzbar. Um ein Verrutschen der Pressvorrichtung zu vermeiden, ist vorzugsweise eine Rastvorrichtung zur wieder lösbaren Festlegung der Pressvorrichtung vorgesehen. Die Rastvorrichtung kann beispielsweise den Rand eines Behälters umgreifen. Die Pressvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, dass sie auch auf ein Waschbecken oder einer Duschtasse auf- oder einsetzbar ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the pressing device according to the invention is at least partially insertable into or onto the container. In order to avoid slippage of the pressing device, a locking device for releasably securing the pressing device is preferably provided. The latching device can embrace, for example, the edge of a container. The pressing device is preferably designed such that it is also on a sink or a shower tray or can be used.

In einer besonderen Ausführungsform bedeckt die auf den Behälter aufgesetzte Pressvorrichtung die Öffnung des Behälters nur teilweise. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass auf einfache Weise Flüssigkeit - vorzugsweise Wasser mit einem Reinigungszusatz - in den Behälter gefüllt und Flüssigkeit aus dem Behälter ausgegossen werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist durch die verbliebene Öffnung ein Wischtuch zum Ausspülen in den Behälter einführbar.In a particular embodiment, the pressing device placed on the container only partially covers the opening of the container. This ensures that in a simple manner liquid - preferably water with a cleaning additive - filled in the container and liquid can be poured out of the container. In addition, a wipe for rinsing in the container can be inserted through the remaining opening.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Variante weist die Pressvorrichtung zumindest ein verschwenkbares Presselement auf. Vorzugsweise ist durch Verschwenken des zumindest einen Presselements ein Pressvolumen, in das ein Wischtuch einbringbar ist, verkleinerbar. Vorzugsweise ist das Presselement konkav ausgebildet, wobei die konkaveSeite dem Pressvolumen zugewandt ist. In einer besonderen Variante sind zwei Presselemente vorgesehen, die das Pressvolumen zumindest teilweise umschließen. Die Presselemente können Durchbrüche und/oder Zinken aufweisen, die beim Verschwenken ineinander greifen.In a particularly preferred variant, the pressing device has at least one pivotable pressing element. Preferably, by pivoting the at least one pressing element, a pressing volume into which a wipe can be introduced can be reduced. Preferably, the pressing member is concave, with the concave side facing the pressing volume. In a particular variant, two pressing elements are provided which at least partially enclose the pressing volume. The pressing elements may have openings and / or prongs, which engage in each other during pivoting.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der der Griff an und/oder in dem verschwenkbaren Presselement angeordnet ist. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders elegant, da im wesentlichen keine zusätzlichen Bauteile nötig sind, die zusätzlichen Bauraum in Anspruch nehmen würden. Hierdurch ist das erfindungsgemäße Wischtuchreinigungssystem kompakt herstellbar und leicht zu verstauen.Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the handle is arranged on and / or in the pivotable pressing element. This embodiment is particularly elegant, since essentially no additional components are needed, which would take up additional space. As a result, the wipe cleaning system according to the invention is compact to produce and easy to stow.

Aus analogen Gründen kann das Verschlusselement an dem verschwenkbaren Presselement angebracht sein oder sogar mit diesem einstückig hergestellt sein. In einer Variante ist der Griff an und/oder in dem Verschlusselement angeordnet.For analogous reasons, the closure element can be attached to the pivotable pressing element or even made in one piece with it. In a variant, the handle is arranged on and / or in the closure element.

Vorzugsweise ist eine Federvorrichtung vorgesehen, die das Presselement in die Stellung drückt, in der der Griff in der Senkrechten oberhalb des gemeinsamen Schwerpunkts von Wischtuchreinigungssystem und Flüssigkeit liegt.Preferably, a spring device is provided which pushes the pressing member into the position in which the handle lies in the vertical above the common center of gravity of the wipe cleaning system and liquid.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsform ist das verschenkbare Presselement in zumindest einer Stellung - beispielsweise der Transportsstellung - arretierbar.In a preferred embodiment, the verschenkbare pressing element in at least one position - for example, the transport position - can be locked.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Variante ist ein Wischtuchträger, an dem ein auszupressendes Wischtuch befestigt ist, derart mechanisch mit der Pressvorrichtung verkoppelbar, dass die Kraft zum Verschwenken des Presselements über den Wischtuchträger übertragbar ist. Vorzugsweise wirkt der mit der Pressvorrichtung verkoppelbare Wischtuchträger als Hebel. Diese Variante hat den Vorteil, dass zum Ausführen des Auspressvorganges kein separater Bedienhebel bedient werden muss. Daher muss der Benutzer weder zur Handbedienung eine Hand frei machen oder zur Fußbedienung umständlich auf einen Bein balancieren.In a particularly preferred variant, a wiping cloth carrier, to which a wiping cloth to be pressed out is fastened, can be mechanically coupled to the pressing apparatus such that the force for pivoting the pressing member can be transferred via the wiping cloth carrier. Preferably, the wiping cloth carrier which can be coupled to the pressing device acts as a lever. This variant has the advantage that no separate control lever must be operated to carry out the Auspressvorganges. Therefore, the user does not need to make a hand free for manual operation or to curb foot control cumbersome on one leg.

In einer bedienerfreundlichen Ausführungsform ist ein, vorzugsweise trichterförmiger, Einführschacht zum Einbringen eines Wischtuchs in das Pressvolumen vorgesehen.In a user-friendly embodiment, a, preferably funnel-shaped, insertion chute is provided for introducing a wiping cloth into the pressing volume.

Insbesondere zum Erleichtern des Ausgießens kann der Behälter einen oder mehrere weitere Griffe aufweisen.In particular, to facilitate pouring, the container may have one or more additional handles.

In einer besonderen Variante ist die Pressvorrichtung auch als Handpresse einsetzbar. Vorzugsweise ist in dieser Variante zumindest ein Handgriff vorgesehen.In a particular variant, the pressing device can also be used as a hand press. Preferably, at least one handle is provided in this variant.
