Benefits of technology

This invention aims to provide a wiping device that can make the most use of its wiping cloth in a single clamping, while also being simple and low-cost to produce. The device should clean well and be easy to use. Additionally, it should allow for a large degree of customization of the wiping cloth without requiring direct contact with it.

Problems solved by technology

This re-clamping is cumbersome and time-consuming and therefore the handling is not very satisfactory.
Furthermore, the magnetic clamping device is work-intensive and expensive in its production.
This makes the handling of the wiping device difficult and the hands of the user come into contact with the soiled and / or wet carrying body / wiping cloth.
That is unpleasant for the user.
Due to the relatively greater height of the front longitudinal side, the wiping device does not clean very well if, for example, the cleaning is to be carried out in corners or along baseboards.
In such cases, the high front longitudinal side cannot get close enough to the corners or the baseboards that are to be cleaned.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]An exemplary embodiment of a wiping device is shown in FIGS. 1-5. The wiping device includes a wiping cloth 2 having two functional surfaces 11, 12, which are configured differently from one another. The wiping cloth 2 is connected in a detachable manner with a wedge-shaped carrying body 1. The carrying body 1 includes two pressure plates 3, 4, which are connected with one another by a hinge 14. The hinge 14 extends parallel to the clamping edges 5, 6. Each of the pressure plates 3, 4 has a clamping edge 5, 6. The clamping edges 5, 6 are pressed against one another by means of two springs 7, 8. The springs 7, 8 are identically designed leg springs 17, 18 and enclose the axis 16 of the hinge 14. The legs of the leg springs 17, 18 are located on the side of the hinge facing away from the clamping edges 5, 6 such that the spring force holds the carrying body in its closed position 9. In this closed position 9, the two pressure plates 3, 4 are arranged relative to each other so as...

Abstract

A mopping device comprising a substantially wedge-shaped support body (1) and a mopping cloth (2) which is connected to the support body (1) in a detachable manner, wherein the support body (1) comprises two contact-pressure plates (3, 4) for pressing the mopping cloth (2) against a surface which is to be cleaned. wherein the two contact-pressure plates (3, 4) each have a clamping edge (5, 6) and are arranged in relation to one another in the manner of a V for the purpose of fixing the mopping cloth (2) between the clamping edges (5, 6) by means of at least one spring (7, 8) in a closed position (9), and can be moved against the spring force of the spring (7, 8) to an open position (10) for the purpose of receiving or removing the mopping cloth (2) from the support body (1).

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application is the national phase of PCT / EP2012 / 000028, filed Jan. 4, 2012, which claims the benefit of German Patent Application No. 10 2011 012 365.2, filed Feb. 24, 2011.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention concerns a wiping device comprising a carrying body and a wiping cloth, which is connected in a detachable manner with the carrying body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A wiping device such as described above is disclosed in EP 2 204 116 A2. In this reference, the carrying body has only one pressure plate to press a wiping cloth on a surface to be cleaned and a rocker-shaped clamping strip. The clamping strip is located so it can be swiveled into a closed position or an open position, on the upper side of the pressure plate. The rocker-shaped clamping strip includes two legs, which are in a magnetic operative connection with the pressure plate such that one leg magnetically clamps the wiping cloth in the closed pos...
