Definitions

  • the invention relates to a head for cleaning flat surfaces suitable for use with a device for cleaning by liquid dispersion and suction of dirt.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a head for cleaning flat surfaces comprising a device for dispensing a cleaning liquid which comprises an injection nozzle connected to a washing means situated in a zone for cleaning the head, and a chamber. suction which is connected to a suction pipe and which is arranged near the cleaning area between a scraper device and the washing means, so as to suck the liquid and dirt.
  • the washing means for example felt or sponge
  • the suction chamber traverses it to evacuate the liquid-dirt mixture and partially dry the surface.
  • this type of head is preferably used in a back-and-forth movement, which causes the disadvantage of leaving the floor wet when the user brings the cleaning head in the reverse pass, since the cleaning device passes Lastly.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and, in particular, to provide a cleaning head which is particularly easy to use while being effective and inexpensive.
  • the washing means comprises a permeable body into which the nozzle opens and which is flanked by two friction means comprising brushes distributed on either side of the permeable body and disposed substantially transversely to the surface to be cleaned, while a second suction chamber is arranged symmetrically with respect to the permeable body between one of said brushes and a second scraper device.
  • the user can carry out in a single operation both a cleaning by application of liquid and a suction of dirt while eliminating traces of moisture, whatever the direction of use of the head, since the chambers suction and scraping devices are distributed on each side of the washing means.
  • the user can therefore use the head in a back and forth movement without worrying about its position.
  • the association of the permeable body with the brushes allows perfect cleaning. Indeed, the permeable body allows to soak the surface to be cleaned and to rub it, while the brushes make it possible to remove dirt by brushing. Cleaning is therefore more efficient.
  • the scraping devices they prevent the liquid from escaping and thus to trap it under each suction chamber so that it is vacuumed.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the cleaning head according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a bottom view of Figure 1, on a different scale.
  • the head for cleaning flat surfaces shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a device 1 for dispensing cleaning liquid which comprises an injection nozzle 2 connected to a washing means 3 located in a cleaning zone 4 of the head.
  • the washing means 3 comprises a permeable body 5 into which opens the nozzle 2 and which consists of a porous absorbent material such as, for example, sponge or foam made of plastic cellular material.
  • the permeable body 5 is flanked by two friction means 6, 7 comprising brushes distributed on either side of it and arranged substantially transversely to the surface to be cleaned (not shown).
  • the liquid distribution device 1 advantageously comprises a diffusion chamber 9 interposed between the injection nozzle 2 and the permeable body 5 so as to distribute the cleaning liquid over the entire extent of the permeable body 5.
  • the cleaning head comprises two suction chambers 10, 11 which are connected to a suction pipe 12 by means of openings 10 ', 11' formed in the head and which are arranged near the cleaning zone 4, so as to aspirate the liquid-dirt mixture.
  • a first chamber 10 is located between a scraper device 13 and a brush 6 of the washing means 3, while a second suction chamber 11 is arranged symmetrically relative to the permeable body 5 between the other brush 7 and a second scraping device 14.
  • the scraping devices 13,14 consist of blades of flexible material such as, for example, rubber, and are arranged substantially transversely to the surface to be cleaned.
  • the brushes 6,7 and the scraping devices 13,14 are arranged, on the one hand, symmetrically and parallel to the permeable body 5 and, on the other hand, transverse to the direction D of work of the head, and s extend practically the entire width of the cleaning head.
  • the cleaning head further comprises a pair of rollers 15 intended to balance the force applied to the head via the pipe 12.
  • the rollers contribute to preventing premature wear of the scraping device and the crushing of the brushes, because only the end of the brushes must be in contact with the surface for good friction.
  • the rollers 15 are arranged in the lateral regions of the cleaning head behind the scraper blade 14 so as to avoid traces of the wheels.
  • the suction pipe 12 is pivotally mounted on the cleaning head, so as to facilitate the operation of the cleaning head by a tube forming a handle (not shown).
  • the operation of the cleaning head according to the invention is particularly simple.
  • the user passes the cleaning head over the surface to be cleaned in a back and forth movement.
  • the injection nozzle 2 sends cleaning liquid to the diffusion chamber 9 which distributes the liquid over the entire extent of the permeable body 5.
  • the permeable body 5 then rubs and soaks the surface, and the back and forth movement of the head contributes to dissolving and loosening the dirt.
  • the brushes 6, 7 remove the dirt which adhered more strongly to the surface. Cleaning is therefore more efficient.
  • the liquid-dirt mixture is sucked at the suction chambers 10, 11, since the scraper blades 13, 14 help to keep the liquid under each suction opening 10 ', 11'.
  • suction openings 10 ′, 11 ′, the scraper blades 13,14 and the brushes 6,7 are distributed symmetrically on each side of the permeable body 5 allows the user to proceed, in a single operation, both cleaning and vacuuming, regardless of the direction of direction D of work. Indeed, one of the suction chambers 10 or 11 always passes after the cleaning zone 4, whatever the orientation of the head.
  • the user need only cut in a manner known per se, the supply of liquid to the cleaning device 1, and thus the suction removes all traces of moisture.
  • the permeable body 5 is itself continuously washed because the renewal in clean cleaning liquid expels the dirty liquid which has been in contact with the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning is therefore done both by the back and forth movements printed by the user and the action of the clean liquid which drives out the dirty liquid.
  • the scraper blades 13,14 As they are chosen slightly longer than the brushes and protrude from the rollers. They bend during the back and forth movement so as to more effectively scrape the surface. Indeed, the scraper blade 13 or 14 which passes after the cleaning zone 4 curves towards the outside of the corresponding suction chamber 10 or 11 so that said chamber 4 is perfectly clear, and the extent of the suction is increased.
