Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Besenblock gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a broom block according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die EP 1 595 473 A1 zeigt einen Borstenträger, an dem ein Lamellenbesatz angeordnet ist.The EP 1 595 473 A1 shows a bristle carrier on which a slat trim is arranged.

Die US 2004/0031116 A1 zeigt einen Zwei-in-eins-Besen, wobei ein Teil eine U-Form aufweist.The US 2004/0031116 A1 shows a two-in-one broom, with one part having a U-shape.

Aus der WO 2006/122607 A1 ist ein Besenkörper bekannt, der auf seiner Unterseite zwei Reinigungskörper aus voneinander abweichenden Werkstoffen aufweist, wobei ein Reinigungskörper durch einen Schaumstoffkörper gebildet ist.From the WO 2006/122607 A1 a broom is known, which has on its underside two cleaning body of divergent materials, wherein a cleaning body is formed by a foam body.

Die DE 10 2008 016 637 A1 zeigt eine Borstenträgerplatte, an der eine Verstärkungsplatte angebracht ist.The DE 10 2008 016 637 A1 shows a bristle carrier plate to which a reinforcing plate is attached.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Besenblöcke bekannt, die mit einem Stiel verbunden werden können. Ein solcher Besenblock umfasst einen Grundkörper mit einer Platte, von welcher Reinigungselemente zur Zuwendung an eine zu reinigende Fläche abragen. Von der Platte ragen außerdem Lamellen in Richtung der zu reinigenden Fläche ab, welche die Reinigungsleistung der Reinigungselemente unterstützen.Broom blocks are known from the prior art, which can be connected to a stem. Such a broom block comprises a base body with a plate, from which cleaning elements protrude for the attention to a surface to be cleaned. From the plate also lamellae protrude in the direction of the surface to be cleaned, which support the cleaning performance of the cleaning elements.

Die Lamellen können Schmutzpartikel oder Feuchtigkeit von einer zu reinigenden Fläche entfernen, welche durch die Reinigungselemente, insbesondere Borsten, nur unzureichend entfernt werden können.The fins can remove dirt or moisture from a surface to be cleaned, which can be removed only inadequately by the cleaning elements, in particular bristles.

Die Lamellen können entweder an der Platte befestigt sein oder an einer Kappe, welche eine Aufnahme für einen Stiel aufweist. Bei der Fertigung eines Besenblocks werden die Platte und die Kappe miteinander verbunden, um den Grundkörper zu bilden. Bei dieser Fertigungsmethode treten allerdings erhebliche Probleme bei der Lagerhaltung auf, da sowohl eine Platte mit Lamellen als auch eine Kappe mit Lamellen relativ sperrig und nur schlecht lagerbar ist.The lamellae may either be attached to the plate or to a cap which has a receptacle for a stem. In the manufacture of a broom block, the plate and the cap are joined together to form the body. In this manufacturing method, however, there are significant problems in storage, since both a plate with slats and a cap with slats is relatively bulky and poorly storable.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Besenblock anzugeben, der bei problemloser Lagerhaltung dessen Einzelteile gefertigt werden kann, wobei nach der Fertigung des Besenblocks die Einzelteile fest miteinander verbunden sind.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a broom block, which can be manufactured with trouble-free storage of its items, wherein after the production of the broom block, the items are firmly connected.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die zuvor genannte Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention achieves the aforementioned object by the features of patent claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die zweiten Reinigungselemente an einem Modul angeordnet, welches in die Platte als separates Einzelteil einfügbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist erkannt worden, dass ein separates Modul ermöglicht, die Platte und die Kappe als flache Einzelteile leicht zu stapeln und zu lagern, da diese selbst keine zweiten Reinigungselemente aufweisen. Das separate Modul ist ebenfalls flach ausgestaltet und daher leicht lagerbar. In einem Fertigungsprozess können diese drei Einzelteile rasch unverlierbar zusammengefügt werden und so einen Besenblock bilden. Die flachen Einzelteile erlauben eine einfache und kostengünstige Lagerhaltung und damit eine kostengünstige Herstellung des Besenblocks.According to the invention, the second cleaning elements are arranged on a module which can be inserted into the plate as a separate item. According to the invention, it has been recognized that a separate module makes it possible to easily stack and store the plate and the cap as flat individual parts, since these themselves have no second cleaning elements. The separate module is also flat and therefore easy to store. In a manufacturing process, these three items can be joined quickly captive and so form a broom block. The flat items allow a simple and cost-effective storage and thus a cost-effective production of the broom block.

Die Kappe weist eine Aufnahme für einen Stiel auf. Hierdurch kann ein Besenstiel an den Besenblock angesteckt oder angeschraubt werden.The cap has a receptacle for a stem. As a result, a broomstick can be attached to the broom block or screwed.

Folglich ist die eingangs genannte Aufgabe gelöst.Consequently, the object mentioned above is achieved.

Das Modul ist zwischen der Platte und einer Kappe fixiert. Hierdurch kann das Modul formschlüssig und/ oder stoffschlüssig zwischen Platte und Kappe aufgenommen werden. Die Platte und die Kappe können miteinander verklebt, verschweißt oder verrastet werden.The module is fixed between the plate and a cap. As a result, the module can be received positively and / or cohesively between the plate and cap. The plate and the cap can be glued together, welded or locked.

Das Modul kann einen Steg aufweisen, von dem die zweiten Reinigungselemente, insbesondere Lamellen, abragen, wobei die zweiten Reinigungselemente eine Ausnehmung in der Platte durchgreifen. Der Steg kann als Anschlag dienen, der an der Platte anlegbar ist. Überdies können mehrere einzelne, palisadenartig angeordnete zweite Reinigungselemente als Gesamtheit ergriffen und in die Platte eingesetzt werden.The module may have a web, from which protrude the second cleaning elements, in particular slats, wherein the second cleaning elements pass through a recess in the plate. The web can serve as a stop which can be applied to the plate. Moreover, a plurality of individual, palisading arranged second cleaning elements can be taken as a whole and used in the plate.

Die ersten Reinigungselemente können als Borsten ausgestaltet sein. Die Borsten können aus Kunststoffen oder aus Naturfasern gefertigt sein.The first cleaning elements may be configured as bristles. The bristles may be made of plastics or natural fibers.

Die zweiten Reinigungselemente können aus einem Elastomer gefertigt sein. Ein Elastomer, insbesondere Gummi, kann eine hervorragende Wischfunktion entfalten.The second cleaning elements may be made of an elastomer. An elastomer, especially rubber, can perform an excellent wiping function.

Die zweiten Reinigungselemente können aus einem Schaumstoff gefertigt sein. Schaumstoffe sind kostengünstig und leicht.The second cleaning elements may be made of a foam. Foams are inexpensive and lightweight.

Die zweiten Reinigungselemente können als Lamellen ausgestaltet sein. Lamellen können mit ihrer Lamellenfläche oder Wischfläche beim Kehren besonders gut Feuchtigkeit mitnehmen und verstreichen. Überdies können Lamellen hartnäckigen Schmutz lösen und Haare und kleinere Schmutzpartikel erfassen.The second cleaning elements can be configured as lamellae. Slats with their lamellar surface or wiping surface are especially good at taking moisture away and spreading when sweeping. In addition, slats can dissolve stubborn dirt and catch hair and small particles of dirt.

Die Lamellen können gerade, gebogen oder gewölbt ausgestaltet sein. Je nach Anforderung an die Wischfunktion kann die Geometrie der Lamellen gewählt werden. Es ist denkbar, U-förmige, V-förmige, X-förmige, runde oder ovale Lamellen einzusetzen.The slats can be straight, curved or arched. Depending on the requirements of the wiping function, the geometry of the slats can be selected. It is conceivable to use U-shaped, V-shaped, X-shaped, round or oval slats.

Der Besenblock kann aus drei Einzelteilen, nämlich einer Platte mit ersten Reinigungselementen, einer Kappe und dem Modul gefertigt sein. Diese drei Einzelteile können problemlos händisch zusammengefügt werden.The broom block can be made of three separate parts, namely a plate with first cleaning elements, a cap and the module. These three parts can be joined together by hand.
