Definitions

the invention relates to a wiper device according to the preamble of claim 1.
the object of the invention is to provide a mopping device in which the actuation of the device is attributed to an actuating element which is light and which can be easily assembled during manufacture.
the special design of the wiping chamber in cooperation with the roller support channel and the handle channel results in a particularly compact, lightweight device.
the wiper essentially consists of a handle 1, a pull handle 2, a pressing device 3, a wiping head 4 with a wipe 5 and a pulling device 6.
This pulling device 6 is formed by two cross-sectionally T-shaped grooves 7 which in the wiper head 4 from the lateral ends 8 into the pressing device 3 run through this and continue in the handle 1, 7 guided rods 9 and the pull handle 2 formed in these grooves. 4 fastening cams 10 for the wiping cloth 5 are formed on the rods 9 in the area of the wiping head.
the rods 9 are provided with notches 11.
the wiping head 4 is provided on the side facing away from the wiping cloth 5 with bristles 12 in the manner of a scrubber. It is also possible and useful for certain applications to replace the bristles 12 with an elastic plate.
the pressing device 3 begins at the transition area 13 between the wiping head 4 and the handle 1.
the pressing device 3 consists of a sleeve 14 with an inlet area 15 and a wiping-cloth chamber 16 of reduced height, as well as a handle channel 17 and roller carrier channel 18 formed thereon a roller carrier 19 with three guide rollers 20 inserted.
inclined guides 22 are provided in the form of elongated holes, in which a pinch roller 23 is slidably mounted. These inclined guides 22 lie in the inlet area 16 and end approximately above the middle pair of guide rollers 24.
the wiper device is shown in FIG. 1 in the wiping position.
the wipe 5 is shown in dash-dotted lines. If water has now been taken up from the surface to be cleaned with the wiping cloth 5, the wiping cloth 5 is drawn into the pressing device by means of the pull handle 2, which is axially displaceably mounted on the handle 1.
the fastening cams 10 migrate inwards and thus automatically fold the wiping cloth 5 to the width of the sleeve 14.
the squeeze roller 23 moves from the position shown in broken lines in the direction of the arrow 25 into the end position shown the middle pair of guide rollers 24.
the wipe is squeezed by further pulling in and the water is squeezed out.
the guide rollers 20, which protrude slightly above the roller carrier 19, allow the wipe to slide easily into the wipe chamber 16.
