Cleaning Body And Squeeze Mop Comprising Said Cleaning Body

Abstract

The invention relates to a cleaning body comprising at least two part cleaning bodies (1, 2), each with a cleaning surface (3, 4), whereby the part cleaning bodies (1, 2) are made from differing materials, lie adjacent to each other and are connected to each other. The first part cleaning body (1) has greater flexibility than the second (2) with each in the dry state. A squeeze mop comprises said cleaning bodies and a support body (17), connected to the cleaning body, whereby the support body (17) has two wings (18, 19), connected to each other such as to fold together by means of a hinged joint (20). The joint (20) is exclusively arranged in the region of the surface (13) of the first part cleaning body (1).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention concerns a cleaning body and a butterfly mop that has said cleaning body as a component.PRIOR ART[0002]Cleaning bodies and butterfly mops with cleaning bodies are generally known.[0003]The cleaning bodies are designed as sponges and consist completely of cellulose or completely of polyurethane, for example. However, with this materially uniform design of the sponge it is disadvantageous that cleaning bodies of cellulose in dry state are difficult to bend or cannot be bent at all without damage and that sponges of polyurethane have only comparably low cleaning performance and therefore cannot absorb dirt particularly well, especially when the cleaning body is used in connection with a butterfly mop.PRESENTATION OF INVENTION[0004]The invention is based on the task of developing a cleaning body and a butterfly mop with a cleaning body further so that the cleaning body is well matched to the relevant conditions of use and the butterfly mop is easy to h...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]At least the first partial cleaning body can be designed as an open-pore cleaning sponge and preferably consists of PU, because of the good flexibility of the material. The second and/or the third partial cleaning bodies can also be designed to be open-pore sponges. They preferably consist of cellulose, because of its good cleaning performance.

[0018]Only the cleaning surface of the first partial cleaning body can have a microfiber wiper facing on the side turned toward the appropriate surface. The wiper facing is of advantage, since particularly when the first partial cleaning body consists of PU, it has only a comparably lower cleaning performance than when compared to cellulose. In order to combine on the one hand the excellent flexibility of the PU material of the first partial cleaning body with, on the other hand, good cleaning performance, the microfiber wiper facing is advantageous. The microfiber wiper facing has the form of a cloth and has negligibly small thickness compared to the thickness of the first partial cleaning body, so that the flexibility of the first partial cleaning body is not adversely affected by the use of the microfiber wiper facing.

[0019]The wiper facing can, for example, also consist of a material other than microfiber. If the use of a material that has greater abrasive effect is necessary, a wiper facing that consists of a portion of microfibers and a portion of viscose can be used.

[0020]The first partial cleaning body can have pocket hole recesses on the side turned away from the cleaning surface, which extend in the direction of the cleaning surface in which each have a shape congruent to knobs on the carrier element of a butterfly mop. Here it is advantageous that the clean
