Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a cloth with various types of pockets. Such a cloth can be a cleaning cloth, a drying cloth, a polishing cloth, another type of cloth, or even a cloth suitable for different applications. In particular, a cloth that can be used for cleaning purposes is described below.
[0002] In the cleaning industry, a comprehensive cleaning of the respective surfaces was previously carried out. Nowadays, however, a needs-based, modular system cleaning, also known as visual cleaning, is most commonly used. Unlike the previous comprehensive cleaning of the respective surfaces, this involves spot cleaning only where visible dirt is present.
[0003] A conventional cleaning cloth can be used for general surface cleaning. However, targeted mechanical treatment of specific areas is only partially possible with such a cloth. This is especially true for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like corners and edges. Cleaning in these areas is ineffective because the dirt is pushed into the corners or edges rather than removed. Furthermore, removing stubborn stains is difficult due to the lack of mechanical control over the cleaning action.
[0004] From DE 1 854 536 U1, a cleaning cloth is known that consists of at least two overlapping pieces of fabric of arbitrary shape. These are attached to one another in a suitable manner such that one or more pockets are formed between them. Four embodiments of the cleaning cloth with one pocket and one embodiment of the cleaning cloth with two pockets are described. In the embodiment with two pockets, two adjacent elongated pockets are formed by three parallel seams; these pockets do not extend into the corners of the cleaning cloth.
[0005] The cleaning cloth disclosed in DE 1 854 536 U1 allows the hand of a user to be placed in the respective pocket, preventing the cloth from bunching up or rolling up during use. However, this cloth, like other known cleaning cloths, is not suitable for the thorough cleaning of corners and edges.
[0006] The purpose of the invention is to provide a cloth that allows both the targeted removal of dirt from corners and edges and the powerful, yet targeted, treatment of stubborn soiling on surfaces.
[0007] This problem is solved with the cloth according to independent claim 1. Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims.
[0008] According to claim 1, a cloth with a front and a back, each bounded by an upper edge, a lower edge, a left edge, and a right edge, has at least two pockets on the back of the cloth. A first pocket has a substantially pentagonal shape, composed of a substantially rectangular shape and a substantially triangular shape. A first side of the substantially rectangular shape has the same length as a first side of the substantially triangular shape, and the substantially rectangular and the substantially triangular shapes are joined to each other at these two sides. A second pocket has a substantially rectangular shape.The first pocket is arranged such that one corner of the substantially triangular shape opposite its first side is located at the intersection of the upper edge and the left edge of the fabric, and the first pocket extends from there towards the center of the reverse side of the fabric. The second pocket is arranged such that one corner of the second pocket is located at the intersection of the upper edge and the right edge, and the second pocket extends from there along the upper edge and the right edge.
[0009] When a user of the cloth places a few fingers into the first pocket, the special shape of the pocket prevents the fingers from slipping sideways. The fingers are guided into a corner of the cloth formed by the left and top edges and held there. By gently lifting this corner using the first pocket, the user can then move it into a corner of the object being cleaned and precisely remove dirt. This prevents the formation of uncleaned corners during the cleaning process. Therefore, compared to a conventional cleaning cloth, which tends to push dirt further into the corner rather than remove it, this method achieves a superior cleaning effect.
[0010] Cleaning the edge of an object with the cloth is similarly advantageous. The person using the cloth can also selectively remove dirt there using the corner of the cloth, thus achieving an improved cleaning effect.
[0011] When the user places their hand in the second pocket, they can remove dirt from the surface of the object. This second pocket allows for targeted treatment of stubborn, localized soiling. Unlike a conventional cleaning cloth, the cloth doesn't slip while the dirt is removed by the user's applied force. The second pocket allows the cloth to be held precisely at the affected area, thus improving the transfer of force. This makes it possible to remove even particularly stubborn stains, resulting in a better cleaning effect than with a conventional cleaning cloth.
[0012] Depending on the area of application (corner, edge, or surface), the person using the cloth inserts their fingers or their entire hand into the corresponding pocket. The fingers or hand can be inserted flat into the pocket, which supports a natural cleaning motion and allows for ergonomic use of the cloth.
[0013] The person using the cloth then performs a mechanically controlled rubbing motion. This allows for improved cleaning results through increased force transmission and greater precision compared to conventional cloths without the special pockets. Thorough and hygienic cleaning can be carried out both horizontally and vertically.
[0014] All of this applies particularly when the cloth is used in combination with a spray cleaner that is sprayed directly and precisely from a bottle.
[0015] When the cloth is used for drying and / or polishing, it allows for drying or polishing right into all corners and edges. Therefore, in these and other applications, complete coverage of all areas of an object can be achieved.
[0016] According to claim 2, three pockets are provided on the reverse side of the cloth. A third pocket has the same shape as either the first or the second pocket. The third pocket is positioned in the same way as either the first or the second pocket, either at the intersection of the lower edge and the left edge of the cloth, or at the intersection of the lower edge and the right edge of the cloth. It extends from this point towards the center of the reverse side of the cloth, or extends from this point along the edges of the cloth, either in the same way as the first pocket or as the second pocket. This additional third pocket allows for the use of a larger area of the cloth for targeted cleaning of corners, edges, and surfaces, as well as for targeted drying and / or polishing, reaching into all corners and edges.
[0017] According to claim 3, four pockets are provided on the reverse side of the cloth. A third pocket has the same shape as the first or second pocket. A fourth pocket has the same shape as the first or second pocket. The third pocket is arranged in the same way as the first or second pocket in the region of the intersection of the bottom edge and the left edge of the cloth and extends from there towards the center of the reverse side of the cloth in the same way as the first pocket, or extends from there along the bottom edge and the left edge of the cloth in the same way as the second pocket.The fourth pocket is positioned in the same way as the first or second pockets, at the intersection of the bottom edge and the right edge of the cloth. It extends from there towards the center of the back of the cloth, or, like the first pocket, along the bottom edge and the right edge. These four pockets allow the entire surface of the cloth to be used for targeted cleaning of corners, edges, and surfaces, as well as for targeted drying and / or polishing, reaching into all nooks and crannies.
[0018] According to claim 4, at least one of the pockets is formed by attaching a flap, which has the same shape as the pocket, to the fabric. If the pocket is created using such a flap, then only one additional layer of fabric is required. This allows for efficient fabric production.
[0019] According to claim 5, at least one of the pockets is created by folding over a section of the fabric extending beyond an edge and attaching this section to the fabric. When the pocket is produced in this way, only a single piece of fabric is required. Therefore, the fabric can be manufactured quickly and cost-effectively.
[0020] According to claim 6, at least one substantially pentagonal pocket is created by attaching a substantially triangular flap extending from one edge of the fabric to an adjacent edge, or by folding over a section of the fabric extending beyond an edge of the fabric in the shape of this substantially triangular flap and attaching this section of fabric to the fabric in a first step, and then sewing it to the width of the substantially pentagonal pocket by means of two dividing seams in a second step. If the substantially pentagonal pocket is produced in this way, then no complex fabric cutting is required. Thus, efficient manufacturing of the fabric is possible.
[0021] According to claim 7, at least one of the pockets is a prefabricated pocket manufactured in a first production step and attached to the fabric in a second production step. If the pocket is manufactured in the first production step, this can be done, for example, by machine. In the second production step, the prefabricated pocket is then attached to the fabric, which can be done manually, for example. However, both production steps can also be performed by machine or manually. The two production steps can also be carried out at different production sites. This allows for efficient fabric production.
[0022] According to claim 8, at least one pocket is formed by attaching a flap, which has the same shape as the pocket, to the fabric or by folding over a section of the fabric extending beyond an edge of the fabric and attaching this section of the fabric to the fabric. At least one further pocket is a prefabricated pocket produced in a first production step and attached to the fabric in a second production step. For example, the substantially rectangular pockets can be prefabricated by machine. No complex fabric cutting is required for the substantially rectangular pockets, so that machine prefabrication is easier than for the substantially pentagonal pockets.The essentially pentagonal pockets can be created, as described above, by attaching an essentially triangular flap extending from one edge of the fabric to an adjacent edge, or by folding over a section of the fabric extending beyond an edge into the shape of this essentially triangular flap and attaching this section to the fabric in a first step, and then sewing it to the width of the essentially pentagonal pocket using two dividing seams in a second step. This eliminates the need for complex fabric cutting, allowing for efficient fabric production.
[0023] According to claim 9, the edge of the fabric is overlocked, with the overlocking serving to at least partially secure the handwarmer pockets. In this case, the overlocking not only prevents the fabric from fraying but also secures the handwarmer pockets along the edge of the fabric. Therefore, separate fastening of the handwarmer pockets in this area of the fabric is unnecessary. This allows for quick and cost-effective fabric production.
[0024] According to claim 10, a cleaning pad in the shape of the pocket is attached to at least one of the pockets. The cleaning pad may contain abrasive particles and can be used to remove particularly stubborn stains. Thus, no further cleaning utensil is required for such stains, enabling efficient cleaning.
[0025] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments in conjunction with schematic drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a top view of the reverse side of a cloth with two pockets; Fig. 2 a top view of the reverse side of the cloth with two pockets, showing the two possible positions of a hand; Fig. 3 a top view of the reverse side of a cloth with three pockets; Fig. 4 a top view of the reverse side of another cloth with three pockets; Fig. 5 a top view of the reverse side of a cloth with four pockets; Fig. 6 a top view of the reverse side of the cloth with four pockets, showing two possible hand positions as examples; Fig. 7 a top view of the reverse side of the cloth with four pockets, a hand being in a pocket used for surface cleaning; and Fig. 8 A top view of the reverse side of the cloth with four pockets, showing some fingers of a hand in a pocket used for cleaning corners.
[0026] Fig. Figure 1 shows a top view of the reverse side of a cloth 1 with two pockets according to a first embodiment. The reverse side and a front side of the cloth (not shown in the figure) are each bounded by an upper edge 2, a lower edge 3, a left edge 4, and a right edge 5. The front side of the cloth forms a cleaning surface, a drying surface, a polishing surface, or some other type of surface for treating an object and has no special features. Therefore, its depiction in the figures is unnecessary.
[0027] Nowadays, microfiber material is most commonly used for cleaning cloths because it can absorb more dirt than other materials. Furthermore, microfibers become electrically charged through friction, causing dirt particles to adhere to them. These properties enable particularly efficient cleaning. Therefore, cloth 1 is typically made of microfiber material. The front and back of cloth 1 can be made of the same microfiber material or of different microfiber materials.
[0028] Microfiber material consists primarily of synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide, which in turn are petroleum-based. The extraction and processing of petroleum are energy-intensive and environmentally damaging. Furthermore, microfibers are released from the material during washing. These enter the wastewater and are only partially filtered out by sewage treatment plants.
[0029] Therefore, cloth 1 can also be made of a different material that, while having a less effective cleaning action than microfiber, is more environmentally friendly. Non-woven fabric is one example of such a material.
[0030] In Fig. Figure 1 shows a square version of cloth 1 with straight edges 2, 3, 4, and 5. This is the most common form in practice. However, cloth 1 can also be rectangular with different edge lengths or any other shape. Furthermore, edges 2, 3, 4, and 5 do not have to be straight; they can also be concave or convex. Typically, the top edge 2, the bottom edge 3, the left edge 4, and the right edge 5 are each 40 cm long. However, cloth 1 can also be larger or smaller, for example, with edge lengths of 20 cm, 30 cm, or 50 cm. The thickness of cloth 1 is usually between 0.1 cm and 0.3 cm. However, cloth 1 can also be thinner or thicker. A typical thickness is 0.2 cm.
[0031] A first pocket 6 attached to the reverse side of the cloth 1 has a pentagonal shape. This pentagonal shape is composed of a rectangular shape 7 and a triangular shape 8. A first side a of the rectangular shape 7 has the same length as a first side c of the triangular shape 8. The sides a and c are in Fig. 1 is represented by a dashed line.
[0032] The rectangular shape 7 and the triangular shape 8 are connected to each other at the first side a of the rectangular shape 7 and the first side c of the triangular shape 8. The first pocket 6 is arranged such that one corner C of the triangular shape 8 opposite the first side c of the triangular shape 8 is located in the area of the intersection of the upper edge 2 and the left edge 4 of the cloth 1, and the first pocket 6 extends from there towards the center of the reverse side of the cloth 1.
[0033] The first pocket (6) has an opening that is usually between 8.5 cm and 10 cm wide, but can also be narrower than 8.5 cm or wider than 10 cm. A typical opening width is 9.25 cm.
[0034] A second pocket 9, attached to the reverse side of the cloth 1, has a rectangular shape. The second pocket 9 is positioned such that one corner of the second pocket 9 is located at the intersection of the upper edge 2 and the right edge 5, and the second pocket 9 extends from there along the upper edge 2 and the right edge 5. The second pocket 9 may extend to the midpoint of the upper edge 2 and the midpoint of the right edge 5, but this is not required.
[0035] The second slip pocket 9 has an opening that is usually between 10.5 cm and 12 cm wide, but can also be narrower than 10.5 cm or wider than 12 cm. A typical opening width is 11.25 cm.
[0036] The first pocket 6 and the second pocket 9 can be created by attaching tabs, each with the same shape as the corresponding pocket, to the fabric 1. Attaching a tab to the fabric 1 creates a pocket between the tab and the fabric 1. The tab can be sewn, tacked, glued, riveted, or otherwise attached to the fabric 1. It can be made of the same material as the front and / or back of the fabric 1 or of a different material.
[0037] The first pocket 6 and the second pocket 9 can also be created by folding over sections of a piece of fabric 1 that extend beyond its edges in the shape of the pockets and attaching these sections to the fabric 1. This creates a pocket between the folded section of fabric 1 and the fabric 1 itself. The folded section of fabric 1 can be sewn, tacked, glued, riveted, or otherwise attached to the fabric 1.
[0038] Furthermore, the first pocket 6 can be created by attaching a triangular flap extending from the left edge 4 to the upper edge 2 to the fabric 1, or by folding over a section of the fabric 1 extending beyond the left edge 4 or the upper edge 2 of the fabric 1 in the shape of this triangular flap and attaching this section of the fabric 1 to the fabric 1 in a first step, and then sewing it to the width of the first pocket 6 with two dividing seams in a second step. The triangular flap or the folded triangular section of the fabric 1 typically extends from the center of the upper edge 2 to the center of the left edge 4, as shown in Fig. Figure 1 is shown schematically. However, this does not have to be the case. Instead of defining the width of the first access pocket 6 by means of dividing seams, this can also be done, for example, by stapling or gluing.
[0039] If the triangular flap or the folded triangular section of the cloth 1 extends to the middle of the upper edge 2 and the second inset pocket 9 also extends to the middle of the upper edge 2 as described above and in Fig. If shown in Figure 1, then the entire length of edge 2 is covered, thus utilizing the largest possible area of the fabric 1. However, it is also possible that the triangular flap or the folded triangular section of the fabric 1 and / or the second pocket 9 do not extend to the middle of the upper edge 2, especially if the length of edge 2 is more than 40 cm.
[0040] Furthermore, it is also possible to produce the first pocket 6 and / or the second pocket 9 in a first production step and attach them to the fabric 1 in a second production step. The pre-made pocket can be sewn, tacked, glued, riveted, or otherwise attached to the fabric 1.
[0041] Furthermore, a cleaning pad in the shape of the pocket may be attached to the first access pocket 6 and / or the second access pocket 9. The thickness of the cleaning pad is usually between 0.9 cm and 1.0 cm. However, the cleaning pad may also be thinner or thicker.
[0042] Edges 2, 3, 4, and 5 are overlocked. This is in Fig. 1 is symbolized by a thicker line. The overlock stitching prevents the fabric from fraying. However, it can also serve to attach the first pocket 6 along the upper edge 2 and the left edge 4 and / or to attach the second pocket 9 along the upper edge 2 and the right edge 5. In other words, depending on the manufacturing process for the pockets, a flap, a folded section of the fabric 1, or a pre-made pocket can be at least partially attached to the fabric 1 by means of the overlock stitching.
[0043] The overlock stitching can also serve another function. By using yarn of different colors, the four-color system established in building cleaning can be implemented, in which each color is assigned to a specific area of application to prevent the spread of germs from one surface or room to the next. The cloth itself can be produced in a uniform color, and the intended application of each cloth can be indicated by using a yarn of the appropriate color for the overlock stitching.
[0044] When a person using the cloth 1 places some fingers of their hand, for example, the index, middle, and ring fingers, or the index, middle, ring, and little fingers, into the first pocket 6, the special shape of this pocket 6 prevents the fingers from slipping sideways. The fingers are guided into a corner of the cloth 1 formed by the left edge 4 and the upper edge 2, and held there. If the person then gently lifts this corner of the cloth 1 using the first pocket 6, they can move the corner of the cloth 1 into a corner of the object to be cleaned and selectively remove any dirt there by lowering the corner of the cloth 1. This also applies to cleaning an edge of the object with the cloth 1.
[0045] If, however, the person using cloth 1 places their hand in the second access pocket 9, they can remove dirt from surfaces of the object. The second access pocket 9 makes it possible to treat localized heavy soiling precisely. Cloth 1 can be held exactly at the affected area using the second access pocket 9, thus improving the transmission of force.
[0046] Fig. Figure 2 shows a top view of the reverse side of the cloth 1 with two pockets, illustrating the two possible positions of a hand.
[0047] Fig. Figure 3 shows a top view of the reverse side of a cloth 21 with three pockets according to a second embodiment. In addition to the elements described in connection with the first embodiment, a further pocket 10 is provided on the reverse side of the cloth 21, which is hereinafter referred to as the third pocket 10. Like the first pocket 6, it has a pentagonal shape, the pentagonal shape being composed of a rectangular and a triangular part. In this case, one corner of the triangular part is located in the area of the intersection of the left edge 4 and the lower edge 3 of the cloth 21, so that the third pocket 10 extends from there towards the center of the reverse side of the cloth 21.
[0048] Fig. Figure 4 shows a top view of the reverse side of a cloth 31 with three pockets according to a third embodiment. In addition to the elements described in connection with the first embodiment, a further pocket 11 is provided on the reverse side of the cloth 31, which is hereinafter referred to as the fourth pocket 11. This pocket, like the second pocket 9, has a rectangular shape. The fourth pocket 11 is arranged such that one corner of the fourth pocket 11 is located in the area of the intersection of the lower edge 3 and the right edge 5, and the fourth pocket 11 extends from there along the lower edge 3 and the right edge 5.
[0049] Fig. Figure 5 shows a top view of the reverse side of a cloth 41 with four pockets according to a fourth embodiment. In addition to the elements described in connection with the first embodiment, a third pocket 10 and a fourth pocket 11 are attached to the reverse side of the cloth 41. The third pocket 10, like the first pocket 6, has a pentagonal shape, the pentagonal shape being composed of a rectangular and a triangular element, as in the first pocket 6. In this case, one corner of the triangular element is located at the intersection of the lower edge 3 and the left edge 4 of the cloth 41, so that the third pocket 10 extends from there towards the center of the reverse side of the cloth 41. The fourth pocket 11, like the second pocket 9, has a rectangular shape.The fourth pocket 11 is arranged such that one corner of the fourth pocket 11 is located in the area of the intersection of the lower edge 3 and the right edge 5, and the fourth pocket 11 extends from there along the lower edge 3 and the right edge 5.
[0050] Fig. Figure 6 shows a top view of the reverse side of the cloth 41 with four pockets, illustrating two possible hand positions.
[0051] Fig. Figure 7 shows a top view of the back of the cloth 41 with four pockets, with a hand in a pocket used for surface cleaning and four arrows indicating that the cloth 41 is typically moved in four directions in this working mode to thoroughly clean a surface.
[0052] Fig.Figure 8 shows a top view of the back of the cloth 41 with four pockets, with some fingers of a hand in a pocket used for corner cleaning and an arrow indicating that in this working mode the cloth 41 is typically moved towards a corner or edge to clean it thoroughly.
[0053] The above describes wipes with one pentagonal pocket 6 and one rectangular pocket 9, two pentagonal pockets 6, 10 and one rectangular pocket 9, one pentagonal pocket 6 and two rectangular pockets 9, 11, and two pentagonal pockets 6, 10 and two rectangular pockets 9, 11. However, wipes can also have, for example, three pentagonal pockets and one rectangular pocket, or one pentagonal pocket and three rectangular pockets. Furthermore, wipes can have more than four pockets, particularly if they are not rectangular.
[0054] The pentagonal pockets 6, 10 and rectangular pockets 9, 11 are described above. However, the pockets 6, 9, 10, 11 need not have to be exactly pentagonal or exactly rectangular. They may also have a substantially pentagonal or a substantially rectangular shape, the substantially pentagonal shape being composed of a substantially rectangular shape and a substantially triangular shape. This may be the case, for example, if the fabric is not rectangular.
[0055] If the cloth described above (1, 21, 31, 41) is a cleaning cloth, then it can be used for numerous cleaning tasks. A few examples of its use will be mentioned below.
[0056] Cloths 1, 21, 31, and 41 can be used in the food retail sector, for example in supermarkets, discount stores, butcher shops, and bakeries. Glass or plexiglass display counters can be cleaned thoroughly and hygienically, right down to every corner. This also applies to freezer shelves.
[0057] Cloths 1, 21, 31, and 41 can be used in hotels. All surfaces, such as bedside tables and their drawers, window frames, glass surfaces in meeting rooms, etc., can be cleaned precisely and hygienically, right down to every corner.
[0058] Cloths 1, 21, 31, and 41 can be used in washrooms and on sanitary surfaces. They allow for precise and hygienic cleaning of all surfaces, mirrors, sinks, and toilets, reaching every corner. This also applies to shower walls.
[0059] Cloths 1, 21, 31, and 41 can be used in commercial and private kitchens. For example, drawers, refrigerators, and cooktops can be cleaned thoroughly and hygienically, reaching every corner. Similarly, thorough and hygienic cleaning of every corner is possible in restaurant dining areas.
[0060] Cloths 1, 21, 31, and 41 can be used for cleaning vehicle interiors. For example, they can be used to clean the corners of the windshield, rear window, and side windows, as well as crevices on the dashboard and display surfaces, precisely and hygienically.
[0061] Cloths 1, 21, 31, and 41 can be used for cleaning computer keyboards. They allow cleaning even between the keys.
[0062] In summary, the present invention relates to a cloth 1 with a front and a back, each bounded by an upper edge 2, a lower edge 3, a left edge 4, and a right edge 5. At least two pockets 6, 9 are provided on the back of the cloth 1. A first pocket 6 has a substantially pentagonal shape, composed of a substantially rectangular shape 7 and a substantially triangular shape 8, wherein a first side a of the substantially rectangular shape 7 has the same length as a first side c of the substantially triangular shape 8, and the substantially rectangular shape 7 and the substantially triangular shape 8 are connected to each other at these two sides a, c. A second pocket 9 has a substantially rectangular shape.If the cloth 1 is a cleaning cloth, then the pockets 6, 9 enable both the targeted removal of dirt from corners and edges as well as the broad and at the same time targeted powerful treatment of stubborn soiling on surfaces.
