Definitions
- the present invention relates to a squeegee according to claim 1.
- a squeegee In order to free flat surfaces such as glass panes or tiles from dirt or liquids, e.g. for drying a tiled floor or cleaning a shower wall, squeegees are known to be used. This
- Squeegees have a rubber lip that moves across the surface to collect dirt or liquid and wipe it off the surface.
- a major disadvantage of conventional squeegees is that they can only be moved over the surface in one direction or only at a certain angle in order to achieve the desired effect: the rubber lip is attached to the handle at a fixed angle and only has one acute angle to the surface their effect. Most of them
- the rubber lip on the handle is arranged in such a way that the water slide has to be pulled over the surface. This is impractical, especially for cleaning vertical surfaces to the floor, because a standing user can pull the squeegee from above to about waist level, but then cannot push it down any further. In order to be able to clean the surface down to the floor, he has to bend down or even kneel down.
- US 2004/0226126 A1 presents a water slide in which the rubber lip is pivotably and resiliently connected to the handle, so that the angle between the handle and the rubber lip is variable. This allows the rubber lip to be guided over the surface at the appropriate acute angle, regardless of the angle at which the handle is held by the user.
- US 5,539,949 discloses a similar water slide, but this time with two rubber lips that are always in contact with the surface at the same time. The additional rubber lip is used to guide the first rubber lip and ensures that the first rubber lip is always in contact with the surface at the optimum angle.
- Both of the water squeegees presented enable continuous wiping of vertical surfaces down to the floor and the removal of water by pushing.
- a particular disadvantage of this known water slide is that when continuously wiping vertical surfaces, traces are left on the surface, because the uniform movement of the water slide is interrupted at the transition from a pulling movement to a pushing movement.
- the manufacture of these water squeegees laborious with a movable joint and this joint must be serviced in order to function properly.
- the present invention now has the task of providing a water slide which enables the removal of water by pulling and pushing and a continuous wiping of horizontal and vertical surfaces without leaving any traces on the surface.
- FIG. 1 water slide, perspective view
- Figures 4-6 design variants of the water slide
- the water slide according to the invention comprises a handle
- first lip retainer 21 with a first lip 22 and a second lip retainer 31 having a second lip 32 ( Figure 1).
- the first and second lips 22, 32 are for
- Wiping liquids, dust and other dirt from a flat surface is suitable.
- they are essentially shaped as flat strips and are preferably made of flexible material such as rubber.
- the first lip 22 is attached to the first lip holder 21 in such a way that an elongated edge 221 of the first lip 22 can be guided unimpeded over a flat surface.
- the lip holders 21, 31 are made of rigid material and distribute the force exerted by the user on the handle 1, uniformly over the entire length of the lips 22, 32 and the elongated edges 221, 321. For use in a damp environment
- the lip holders 21, 31 are also ideally made of rust-free material, such as aluminum, stainless steel or plastic.
- the first lip retainer 21 and / or the second lip retainer 31 has an extension 211, 311 which runs along one side of the first lip 22 and / or the second lip 32 and restricts its bending when this is done with great force is pressed against a surface.
- the handle 1 is on the first lip retainer 21 and / or fixed immovably on the second lip retainer 31. In the variant embodiment according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the handle 1 is attached to the first lip retainer 21, and the second lip retainer is fastened to the first lip retainer, for example to the extension 211.
- the first lip 22 and the second lip 32 are included in the water slide according to the invention firmly connected to the first lip retractor 21 and the second lip retractor 31, respectively.
- the first and the second lip holder 21, 31 are also immovably connected to the handle 1.
- the lip holders 21, 31 can be firmly connected to one another or made from one piece and these are both connected to the handle 1 together.
- first lip 22 and the first lip retainer 21 or the second lip 32 and the second lip retainer 31 are each made of one piece or cast, that is, they do not consist of two parts the lip 22, 32 to the lip retainer 21, 31 can vary.
- Lip retainer 21, 31 and lips 22, 32 made of one piece or cast, the material properties of the handle 1 and the lip retainer 21, 31 being rather solid or rigid and the lips 22, 32 made of flexible or pliable material consist.
- the lips 22, 32 have their desired wiping effect at an acute angle to the surface, an angle of approximately 45 ° being ideal.
- the first lip 22 is accordingly attached to the handle in such a way that when it is placed on the surface to be cleaned it forms an acute angle with it.
- the first plane E1 in which the first lip 22 lies has a first angle of at least 10 °, preferably of at least 25 °, ideally about 45 ° to the longitudinal axis A of the handle 1 ( Figure 2). The water slide can thus be guided at the ideal angle if the handle 1 is held approximately parallel to the surface (FIG. 3a).
- the second lip 32 starts at the desired acute angle, since it is arranged behind the first lip 22 in the direction of movement.
- This second lip 32 is preferably attached to the water slide between the first plane E1 of the first lip 22 and the longitudinal axis A of the handle 1 and is oriented in such a way that it comes into contact with the surface shortly before the first lip 22 does not have an acute angle to the surface has more and is then lifted from it. Since the second lip 32 wipes after the first lip 22, the second lip 32 removes any traces left by the first lip 22.
- the second plane E2 in which the second lip 32 lies has a second angle ß of at least 70 °, preferably about 90 ° to the longitudinal axis A of the handle 1 ( Figure 2). This alignment ensures that the second lip 32 when Pushing the water slide down is at the appropriate acute angle to the surface.
- the water slide according to the invention thus has two lips 22, 32 which are arranged at an angle ⁇ + ⁇ of at least 95 ° relative to one another: the first lip 22 has a first angle of at least 25 ° to the longitudinal axis A of the handle 1, and the second lip 32 has a second angle ⁇ of at least 70 °, the lips 22, 32 being inclined in opposite directions on both sides of the longitudinal axis A of the handle 1.
- the handle 1 can also be curved or curved, in which case the longitudinal axis A forms a tangent to the shape of the handle, which is approximately perpendicular to the surface at the time of the change from the first lip 22 to the second lip 32.
- the second lip retainer 31 is attached to the end of the extension 211 of the first lip retainer 21.
- This arrangement has the advantage that the desired second angle ⁇ can be achieved with a second lip 32 which is identical to the first lip 22, in particular has the same length.
- the use of two identical lips 22, 32 reduces the number of different components and simplifies the manufacture of the one according to the invention
- the second lip retainer 31 can also be attached to other Place the first lip retainer 21 or be attached directly to the handle 1, but this requires an adaptation of the second angle ⁇ and the length of the second lip 32 (Figure 5).
- the water slide additionally has a central lip holder 41 with a central lip 42 which is similar to the first and second lips 22, 32 and is arranged between the first and second lips 22, 32 (FIG. 4).
- the middle plane Em in which the middle lip 42 lies, roughly halves the angle ⁇ + ⁇ between the first plane E1 and the second plane E2 and is thus preferably at an angle g of approx. 20-25 ° to the longitudinal axis A des Handle 1. With the additional middle lip 42, the transition between the various lips 22, 32, 42 is even easier and smoother.
- middle lip holders 41 with middle lips 42 can be provided, which are oriented at regular angular distances between the first plane E1 and the second plane E2.
- a surface can be cleaned in one go from top to bottom, without having to start again and without leaving traces, especially not during the transition from the pulling movement to the pushing movement.
- the cleaning of an entire surface in one go from the top to the floor is possible even in confined spaces and without any extension of the handle 1 with a stick hindering the work.
- the new squeegee is therefore very pleasant to use, as the lower areas of a surface can also be worked on without having to bend down very much.
