Definitions
- the invention relates to a cleaning device with two brush rollers, which are mounted parallel to one another on a frame and are driven in opposite directions, and with a push handle which engages on the frame.
- Such a cleaning device is known for example from EP 0 286 328 AI.
- the push handles extend in a direction transverse to the direction of the axes of rotation of the brush roller, so that when the cleaning device is pushed or pulled over the push handle, the cleaning device is displaced transversely to the longitudinal direction of the brush rollers. In this way, the cleaning device can cover a surface to be cleaned.
- the push handle thus extends transversely to the direction in which a push handle normally runs in such two-brush devices.
- This new arrangement of the push handle makes it possible to transmit a torque via the push handle to the frame carrying the two brush rollers, the frame being pivoted about an axis which runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the brush rollers.
- This pivoting or tilting of the frame has the result that, depending on the pivoting direction, either one brush roller or the other brush roller is pressed more strongly against the surface to be cleaned than the other brush roller, which on the contrary is raised slightly.
- this can be done alternately, so that such a cleaning device is then periodically pushed back and forth without the user having to exert any force in the direction of displacement, it is sufficient to tilt the frame via the push handle, the displacement movement itself is carried out by the Brush roller drive executed.
- the push handle at its end remote from the frame has handle elements arranged at a distance transversely to its longitudinal direction. These spaced-apart grip elements can be used to transmit torques to the frame via the push handle, which lead to its tilting.
- the grip elements are arranged essentially symmetrically to a vertical plane lying parallel to the axes of rotation and lying between them, so that the tilting can be achieved in both directions with equally large forces.
- the push handle is pivotally connected to the frame about an axis extending transversely to the direction of the axes of rotation.
- the height of the push handle can be pivoted and, if necessary, also determined in different angular positions.
- a non-rotatable connection is only necessary in one direction. which runs parallel to the axes of rotation of the brush rollers.
- the push handle acts on the frame between the brush rollers, in particular the point of application of the push handle on the edge of the frame lies in the region of the ends of the brush rollers.
- the push handle can have the shape of a rod.
- the push handle can be pivoted about a pivot axis which is perpendicular to the frame into a position in which it projects from the frame perpendicular to the direction of the axes of rotation of the brush rollers.
- This is the usual position of the push handle for a two-brush cleaning device, in this position the cleaning device can be moved in the conventional manner by pushing and pulling forces.
- This possibility of pivoting the push handle thus enables the user to either move the device in a conventional manner or to move it by tilting the frame due to the movement of the brush rollers.
- the push handle in its two positions, in which it is in the direction of Axes of rotation of the brush rollers extends or can be fixed transversely thereto.
- the push handle can also be pivoted into a conventional position directed transversely to the axis of rotation of the brush rollers, it is advantageous if the point of application of the push handle lies on the edge of the frame in the region of the ends of the brush rollers. This makes it possible for the user to insert the frame with its end opposite the point of attack under objects, for example under cupboards, etc., without the push handle acting on the frame interfering with it.
- the push handle is divided into at least two sections which are fixed to one another in a working position, but can be folded together in a rest position.
- the folded sections of the push handle can be placed on the top of the frame.
- Such a construction makes it possible to fold the push handle to save space and, if necessary, to place it on the top of the device in such a way that overall a very compact structure is achieved when the device is not in use.
- Figure 1 is a sectional view taken along line 1-1 in
- Figure 2 in a cleaning device with a push handle in a conventional position
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the cleaning device of Figure 1 with two different positions of the push handle;
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the
- Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 when tilting the frame in the other direction;
- Figure 5 is a schematic front view of a
- Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 2 in the
- the cleaning device shown in the drawing comprises a hood-shaped housing 1 which is open at the bottom and in which, emerging from the housing 1 at a distance from one another, two brush rollers 2, 3 of the same type rotatable about axes of rotation which run parallel to one another are stored.
- the brush rollers are driven in opposite directions via a drive 4 and suitable transmission means, in the illustrated embodiment drive belts 5, 6.
- bearings can be arranged on a special frame or on the housing. In the context of this application, all of these parts that support the brush rollers 2, 3 are referred to as "frames".
- a push handle 8 On the top of the housing engages in the middle between the two brush rollers 2 and 3 and in the immediate vicinity of a side edge 7 of the housing 1, a push handle 8, which is connected to the housing 1 in a manner not clearly shown in the drawing about an axis rotatably which runs parallel to the axes of rotation of the brush rollers 2, 3.
- the push handle 8 can be pivoted both about a horizontal and a vertical pivot axis, both of which are perpendicular to the axes of rotation of the brush rollers 2, 3.
- the pivoting about the horizontal pivot axis means that the push handle 8 can be pivoted relative to the plane spanned by the two brush rollers 2, 3 in a different angle of inclination, by suitable means, not shown in the drawing, the push handle can optionally be fixed in different angular positions .
- a pivoting of the push handle 8 about the vertical pivot axis leads to the fact that the push handle 8 can be pivoted into a position from a position in which it extends in the direction of the axes of rotation of the brush rollers 2, 3 (with solid lines in FIG. 2) which it extends transversely to the axis of rotation of the brush rollers 2, 3 (shown in broken lines in FIG. 2).
- Suitable means can also be provided here to fix the push handle in both positions described.
- the housing 1 can be displaced by applying thrust and tensile forces, both brush rollers 2 and 3 pressing with equally large forces on a surface to be cleaned 9.
- the push handle 8 If the push handle 8 is pivoted into a position in which it extends in the direction of the axes of rotation of the brush rollers 2, 3 (solid lines in FIG. 2), a torque can be exerted on the housing 1 via the push handle 8, so that the housing 1 can be tilted.
- the axis of this tilt runs parallel to the axes of rotation of the brush rollers 2 and 3 and lies between them.
- the push handle 8 has at its free end a cross member 10, which is connected to the housing 1 via a rod-shaped section 11 in the manner described and which at its two ends in the stood mutually arranged handle elements 12, 13 carries.
- a cross member 10 which is connected to the housing 1 via a rod-shaped section 11 in the manner described and which at its two ends in the stood mutually arranged handle elements 12, 13 carries.
- the housing 1 can thus be alternately tilted in one direction or the other, and this leads to an alternating displacement of the housing 1 in one direction or in the other direction.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show a modified exemplary embodiment of a cleaning device which is constructed essentially the same as that of FIGS. 1 to 4. The same parts therefore have the same reference symbols.
- the push handle 8 is divided in its center into a lower section 14 and an upper section 15, which pivot with one another about an axis running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the push handle 8 are connected.
- the two sections 14 and 15 can be locked against each other by a suitable device, which is not specified in the drawing, so that pivoting of the sections 14 and 15 against each other is not possible.
- the push handle 8 can be pivoted on its mounting on the housing 1 about a further axis which runs parallel to the pivot axis of the sections 14 and 15 and can also be fixed if necessary.
- This configuration makes it possible to accommodate the push handle 8 in a space-saving manner on the top of the housing 1 when the device is not in operation.
- the lower section 14 is pivoted parallel to the upper side of the housing 1, the upper section 15 is turned over 180 ° with respect to the lower section 14 and also placed on the upper side of the housing 1, as can be seen from FIG. 5. This gives a very compact folding of the push handle on the top of the housing 1.
