Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning tool for picking up dirt from a floor surface, which can be moved back and forth by means of a guide rod articulated on its housing and has a brush roller driven by the reciprocating movement and has dirt collecting spaces arranged on both longitudinal sides of the brush roller, in which the brush roller is located thrown up dirt particles are caught.
  • Such cleaning tools are generally known in cleaning devices on the market. From time to time, the dirt accumulated in the dirt collecting spaces must be removed from these cleaning tools. This is relatively cumbersome and, above all, unsanitary, since the dirt that has accumulated must be emptied freely into a waste container.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cleaning tool of the type described above so that the accumulated dirt can be removed from the dirt collecting spaces in a simple and hygienic manner.
  • a suction nozzle is articulated to the housing, which can be connected to a suction pipe connected or connectable to a vacuum cleaner, that in addition, suction openings are provided in the bottom of the dirt-collecting spaces, which by themselves under the effect of closing elements generated by the vacuum cleaner opening air flow are covered.
  • the cleaning tool is briefly connected to a vacuum cleaner and thereby the accumulated dirt is sucked out of the dirt collecting spaces.
  • the closure elements are opened by the suction air flow, so that the air flow can sweep through the collecting spaces and sweep away the accumulated dirt.
  • Such a cleaning tool can also be connected to a vacuum cleaner during the cleaning process itself.
  • a vacuum cleaner during the cleaning process itself.
  • the cleaning effect of less powerful vacuum cleaners can be improved, since dirt which has been loosened by the brush roller but has not been flung up is caught and sucked in by the suction air flow. If only small cleaning processes are to be carried out, the cleaning tool can be used alone without a vacuum cleaner.
  • a structurally particularly simple solution for closing the suction opening consists in that flaps which are arranged pivotably are provided as closure elements. It is advantageous that the flaps are pivoted by spring force into the position closing the suction opening.
  • the suction openings are as wide as the floor extending slots are formed. The dirt can be easily absorbed through such slots.
  • a suction pipe 3 connected to a vacuum cleaner or connectable to a vacuum cleaner can be inserted into the suction nozzle 2.
  • the cleaning tool can be moved back and forth on the floor surface to be cleaned.
  • a brush roller 4 is rotatably arranged, which is driven when moving back and forth by impellers arranged on the housing, which transmit their rotational movement to the brush roller 4.
  • the brush roller 4 rotates between the underside of the cleaning tool up to about the height of the axis of rotation 5 of the brush roller 4 and extends upwardly extending guide surfaces 6.
  • the dirt particles are guided by the brush roller 4 along these guide surfaces 6 and over the guide surfaces into the two long sides of the Brush roller 4 trained dust collection spaces 7 thrown.
  • suction openings designed as slots are provided, which are covered by pivotable flaps 10.
  • the flaps 10 can be pivoted into their position closing the slots 9 solely by gravity.
  • the spring force is dimensioned so that the suction air flow generated by the vacuum cleaner can pivot the flaps 10 away from the slot 5.
  • the flaps 10 are pivoted upward by the suction air flow, so that the air is announced via the suction openings 9.
  • the dirt accumulated in the dust collecting spaces 7 is entrained and transported to the vacuum cleaner. If the cleaning tool is already connected to a vacuum cleaner during a cleaning process, the cleaning effect of the suction air is supported by the brush roller, since the dirt that is only loosened by the brush roller but not absorbed can be carried away by the air flow.
  • vertically displaceable cover strips can also be provided. Such cover strips are pressed downwards against the suction openings by spring force. The cover strips are raised by the suction air flow of the connected vacuum cleaner, so that the air can enter the suction openings 9.
