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

[0006]To solve the task, a cleaning body is foreseen that consists of at least two partial cleaning bodies each with a cleaning surface, where the partial cleaning bodies consist of different materials and are arranged next to each other and are bonded together, where the first partial cleaning body has greater flexibility than the second, in each case referring to the dry state. Because the sponge-like cleaning body is functionally individualized, the sponge-like partial cleaning bodies are designed so that they are each especially suitable to solve the partial tasks given them. In the region of the first partial cleaning body the cleaning body is especially readily flexible, so that it can be readily used even in connection with a butterfly mop, and the butterfly mop can be operated without problem even when the cleaning body is in dry state without the cleaning body becoming damaged or destroyed.

[0007]The material of the second cleaning body can be designed for especially good cleaning performance without having to take into account whether it is flexible in dry state or not.

Problems solved by technology

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.
