Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surface cleaning device with at least one blowing nozzle to which the cleaning agent is supplied via a pressure line and with at least one suction nozzle which is connected to a suction line.
  • the invention aims to provide a surface cleaning device that can be used practically for all types of surfaces.
  • the cleaning device according to the invention is characterized by the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
  • the main advantage of this device is that despite e.g. liquid detergent works almost dry because the detergent cannot flow out of the casing but is immediately absorbed again.
  • the surface cleaning device is provided with at least one blowing nozzle 1, to which the preferably liquid cleaning agent is supplied via a pressure line 2 at 4 atm pressure.
  • a blow nozzle actuating lever 3 With a blow nozzle actuating lever 3, the blow nozzle 1 can be opened by finger pressure against the pressure of a spring and closed again by releasing the finger pressure.
  • An elongate suction nozzle 4 arranged transversely to the working direction of the device is connected to a suction line 5.
  • An elongated brush 6 is located between the blowing nozzle 1 and the suction nozzle 4. This brush 6 can be exchanged accordingly, depending on the work to be performed.
  • brushes with pig bristles for cleaning windows and brushes with brass bristles or with hard polypropylene bristles for facade cleaning There are, for example, brushes with pig bristles for cleaning windows and brushes with brass bristles or with hard polypropylene bristles for facade cleaning.
  • the area of the blowing nozzle 1 and the area of the suction nozzle 4 are sheathed together in such a way with a tubular piece-like jacket 7 that the end 8 of the jacket 7 coming to lie on the surface to be cleaned is completely open, while the opposite end 9 is at least partially open.
  • the jacket 7 either consists entirely of rubber-elastic material or at least its end 8 lying on the surface to be cleaned. Natural rubber is particularly suitable as the rubber-elastic material.
  • the bristles of the brush 6 should in any case touch the surface to be cleaned, that is to say they should be flush with the end 8 of the jacket 7 or even protrude somewhat from the jacket end 8.
  • the blowing nozzle 1 and the suction nozzle 4 remain at least one centimeter from the end 8 of the jacket 7.
  • the suction power of the suction nozzle 4 corresponds to a water column of 2.8 m, ie it corresponds to 2800 mm water column.
  • the suction nozzle 4 can be 3 cm to 100 cm long. There may be at least five interchangeable brushes 6 with different types of bristles.
  • lamella 10 for example made of neoprene, between the mouth of the suction nozzle 4 and the inner wall of the jacket 7.
  • This semi-solid to solid lamella 10 has the purpose of supporting the soft jacket 7.
  • this slat 10 can be comb-shaped.
  • the teeth 11 protruding over the jacket 7 serve to be pulled through the grooves of the escalator. Characterized in that the teeth 11 penetrate the grooves of the escalator surface, the suction area of the suction nozzle 4 to the front of the device is almost airtight, which increases the suction power of the suction nozzle in the grooves and enables proper cleaning.
  • FIG. 3 Such a comb-like lamella is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the comb-like lamella or at least its teeth 11 suitably consist of rubber-elastic material. It goes without saying that interchangeable comb-like lamella.
  • two protective walls 12 are arranged in a V-shape so that their free ends are approximately directed towards the ends of the brush 6.
  • the brush 6 could be made to vibrate by means of a magnetic motor.
  • the jacket 7 can be reinforced, for example by overlapping.
  • the described surface cleaning device for facade cleaning means that scaffolding is no longer necessary; a ladder that complies with safety regulations is sufficient.
