Wiping system with wiping device and squeezing out device
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a wiping device, a squeezing out device and a container device enabling a textile wiping element located on a wiping panel of the wiping device to be squeezed out simply and reliably. The wiping panel is provided with edge fixing sections which can be held from behind by a counter bearing device of the squeezing out device in order to prevent the wiping panel from being moved out of the squeezing out device unintentionally when the textile element is squeezed out on a bearing surface, or which have an insertion ramp which facilitates the optionally jamming insertion between the bearing surface and a counter bearing surface that is set apart from said bearing surface.
1. A wiping system comprising:
a wiping device,
at least one container for receiving liquid, and
a squeezing-out device for the wiping device and coupled with the container, wherein the wiping device has a handle and a wiping panel,
the wiping panel having a substantially planer underside, an upper side, a longitudinal axis, a longitudinal edge extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and at least one holding portion, wherein the wiping panel is attached to the handle by a universal joint and is substantially rigid, the wiping panel being configured to hold a flat wiping element on the underside of the wiping panel, and the wiping panel defining a stop for the handle, the stop being on the upper side of the wiping panel and remote the holding portion, and
the at least one holding portion projects from the wiping panel upper side remote from the wiping panel underside and is adjacent to the longitudinal edge of the wiping panel, and
wherein the squeezing-out device has a support face provided with perforations and a counter-support device spaced a distance from the support face such tat the wiping panel of the wiping device can be introduced between the support face and the counter-support device with a downwardly directed insertion movement and can be pressed against the support face,
the counter-support device being configured to engage the holding portion of the wiping device and having a counter-support face, the counter-support face being a distance from the support face, the distance corresponding substantially to the insertion thickness of the wiping panel and the wiping element.
2. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein the counter-support device comprises a counter-support arm extending substantially parallel to the support face and forming the counter-support face.
3. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein the counter-support device comprises at least two counter-support elements and are arranged along a longitudinal edge of the support face.
4. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein the support face is inclined to the horizontal by 30° to 60° in the service position.
5. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein a region of the support face remote from the counter-support device and the counter-support device are movable relative to one another when the underside of the wiping panel is pressed against the support face.
6. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein the support face is tiltably mounted.
7. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein that the squeezing-out device comprises a fastening element for detachably fastening the squeezing-out device to the container.
8. The wiping system of claim 7 , wherein the fastening element comprises grooves to engage with spring elements of the container.
9. The wiping system of claim 7 , wherein the fastening element comprises a substantially U-shaped holding element for cooperation with an edge of the container.
10. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein the wiping system further comprises a chassis.
11. The wiping system of claim 1 , wherein the container has a base and comprises a disc or perforated plate arranged at a distance from the container base.
12. A wiping system comprising:
a wiping device,
at least one container for receiving liquid,
a squeezing-out device for the wiping device and coupled with the container, and
a chassis,
wherein the wiping device has a handle and a wiping panel,
the wiping panel having a substantial ally planer underside, an upper side, a longitudinal axis, a longitudinal edge extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and at least one holding portion, wherein the wiping panel is attached to the handle by a universal joint and is substantially rigid, the wiping panel being configured to hold a flat wiping element on the underside of the wiping panel, and the wiping panel defining a stop for the handle, the stop being on the upper side of the wiping panel and remote the holding portion, and
the at least one holding portion projects from the wiping panel upper side remote the wiping panel underside and is adjacent to the longitudinal edge of the wiping panel, and
wherein the squeezing-out device has a support face provided with perforations and a counter-support device spaced a distance from the support face such that the wiping panel of the wiping device can be introduced between the support face and the counter-support device with a downwardly directed insertion movement and can be pressed against the support face,
the counter-support device being configured to engage the holding portion of the wiping device and having a counter-support face, the counter-support face being a distance from the support face, the distance corresponding substantially to the insertion thickness of the wiping panel and the wiping element.
13. The wiping system of claim 12 , wherein the squeezing-out device is attached to the container or the chassis.
14. The wiping system of claim 12 , wherein the squeezing-out device is interlockingly attachable to the container.
15. The wiping system of claim 12 , wherein the container is releasably attachable to the chassis.
16. The wiping system of claim 12 , wherein the chassis comprises a handle mount for fixedly attaching the handle of the wiping device during transport.
