Abstract

A floor wiper has a carrier plate (1), to which there are attached two bow-type frame parts 5, 6 for receiving a changeable cover which is equipped along its longitudinal edges with flexible plastic parts which stiffen the longitudinal edges. One frame part 6 is mounted in the carrier plate 1 so as to be pivotable about a transverse axis A, and it is held in its extended position by a locking device 11. To pivot the frame part 6, a foot lever 12 is mounted on the carrier plate 1, which foot lever is pivotable about an axis 15 and is supported on the frame part 6 at a point 13 lying at a distance from the axis 15 and from the locking device 11. When the lever 12 is pushed down, the frame part 6 pivots downwards, overcoming the locking device 11. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fußbodenwischer zur Aufnahme eines Wechselbezuges entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a floor wiper for receiving an interchangeable cover according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einem bekannten Fußbodenwischer dieser Art (DE-A 31 37 791) erfolgt das Arretieren und das Loesen der Arretierung des schwenkbaren Rahmenteils durch Verschwenken des Stieles. Dabei ist mit der Lagerwelle, an welcher der Stiel kardanisch angesetzt ist, ein mehrfach abgebogener Buegel gekoppelt, der ein 180o umgebogenes Ende eines Schenkels des schwenkbaren Rahmenteils umgreift. Dieser Fußbodenwischer ist in der Handhabung nicht optimal, da zum Entriegeln des schwenkbaren Rahmenteils zwecks Abnahme des Wechselbezuges der Stiel in eine bestimmte Richtung um 180o geschwenkt werden muß, was bei beengten Platzverhaeltnissen fast unmoeglich ist. Außerdem besteht beim Aufziehen eines neuen Wechselbezuges die Gefahr eines Einklemmens der Finger, z.B. wenn der Stiel umfaellt. Schließlich ist dieser Fußbodenwischer aufwendig in der Herstellung.In a known floor wiper of this type (DE-A 31 37 791), the locking and releasing of the locking of the pivotable frame part is carried out by pivoting the handle. In this case, a multiply bent bar is with the bearing shaft to which the handle is attached cardanically coupled, which encompasses a 180 ° folded end of a leg of the pivotable frame part. This floor wiper is not optimal to handle, since the handle must be pivoted in a certain direction by 180 o to unlock the pivoting frame part in order to remove the interchangeable cover, which is almost impossible in confined spaces. In addition, when a new interchangeable cover is opened, there is a risk of the fingers becoming trapped, for example if the handle falls over. After all, this floor wiper is complex to manufacture.

Weiter ist auf die DE-C 31 39 245 hinzuweisen. Bei diesem Fußbodenwischer mit Wechselbezug ist der Zuschnitt der Textilbespannung so ausgebildet, daß auf allen Seiten der Aufnahmeflaeche fuer den Spannrahmen etwa 5 cm breite Raender gebildet werden, die durch Umschlagen nach oben und innen und durch Vernaehen oder Kleben versteift sind. Dadurch soll erreicht werden, daß sich die Raender hochstellen, wenn der Fußbodenwischer an den Fußleisten entlanggefuehrt wird, und dadurch die Fußleisten mit reinigen. Als nachteilig hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, daß damit die Ecken, also der Uebergang vom Fußboden auf die Fußleisten, nicht erfaßt werden, wie dies deutlich aus Fig. 3 dieser Druckschrift ersichtlich ist. Darueberhinaus knuddelt oder faltet sich der breite Rand schon dann, wenn der Fußbodenwischer mit geringer Kraft gegen die Wand gedrueckt wird. Dadurch wird der gewuenschte Effekt, die Fußleiste in einem Arbeitsgang durch Hochstellen der Raender zu reinigen, nicht erreicht. Die Praxis hat gezeigt, daß der breite Rand, insbesondere bei einer bereits haeufig benutzten Textilbespannung fuer ein einwandfreies Reinigen in Ecken und an den Kanten hinderlich ist.Reference should also be made to DE-C 31 39 245. In this floor squeegee with interchangeable cover, the cut of the textile covering is designed so that around 5 cm wide edges are formed on all sides of the receiving surface for the stenter frame, which are stiffened by turning upwards and inwards and by sewing or gluing. The aim of this is to ensure that the edges rise when the floor wiper is guided along the skirting boards, and thereby also clean the skirting boards. It has turned out to be disadvantageous, however, that the corners, that is to say the transition from the floor to the baseboards, are thus not detected, as is clearly evident from FIG. 3 of this document. In addition, the wide edge cuddles or folds when the floor wiper is pressed against the wall with little force. This creates the desired effect, the baseboard in one operation by raising the Clean the edges, not reached. Practice has shown that the wide edge, particularly with a textile covering that is already frequently used, is a hindrance to perfect cleaning in corners and on the edges.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemaeßen Fußbodenwischer zu schaffen, der sich durch eine aeußerst einfache Handhabung auszeichnet, der einen leichten Austausch des Wechselbezuges ermoeglicht, wobei der Wechselbezug derart ausgebildet sein soll, daß dessen Raender plan auf dem Fußboden aufliegen, daß er eine ausreichende Steifigkeit, um ein Falten und Knuddeln beim Anstoß gegen ein Hindernis zu verhindern, hat, und daß mit ihm auch die Ecke zwischen Fußboden und Fußleiste bzw. Wand erfaßt werden, und der mit geringem Aufwand hergestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a generic floor wiper, which is characterized by an extremely simple handling, which allows easy replacement of the interchangeable cover, the interchangeable cover should be designed such that its edges lie flat on the floor that he a has sufficient rigidity to prevent folding and cuddling when hitting an obstacle, and that the corner between the floor and the skirting board or wall can also be detected with it and which can be produced with little effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemaeß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale geloest.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Bei dem erfindungsgemaeßen Fußbodenwischer wird die Arretierung des schwenkbaren Rahmenteils durch einfaches Verschwenken des Hebels, beispielsweise durch einen Fußtritt, ueberwunden und gleichzeitig dieses Rahmenteil aus seiner Strecklage verschwenkt, so daß der Wechselbezug abgenommen werden kann oder von selbst abfaellt. Der Hebel und die Rahmenteile koennen durch Steckverbindungen mit der Traegerplatte verbunden sein, so daß sich eine aeußerst einfache Herstellung und Montage ergibt.In the floor wiper according to the invention, the locking of the pivotable frame part is overcome by simply pivoting the lever, for example by kicking, and at the same time this frame part is pivoted out of its extended position, so that the interchangeable cover can be removed or falls off by itself. The lever and the frame parts can be connected to the support plate by plug-in connections, so that the manufacture and assembly are extremely simple.

Entlang den Laengskanten der Textilbespannung sind von langgestreckten, flexiblen Kunststoffteilen gebildete Randversteifungen vorgesehen, die vorzugsweise durch Umschlagen und Vernaehen der laengsverlaufenden Raender der Textilbespannung gehalten sind.Along the longitudinal edges of the textile covering, edge reinforcements formed by elongated, flexible plastic parts are provided, which are preferably held by turning over and sewing the longitudinal edges of the textile covering.

Nach einem weiteren Aspekt wird zur Loesung der gestellten Aufgabe vorgeschlagen, die Randversteifungen durch zweimaliges Umschlagen und Vernaehen der Laengsraender zu bilden. Dadurch entfaellt auch die sonst erforderliche Randkettelung gegen Ausfransen.According to a further aspect, in order to solve the problem, it is proposed to form the edge stiffeners by turning over and sewing the longitudinal borders twice. This also eliminates the otherwise necessary bordering against fraying.

In beiden Faellen bleiben die Laengsraender der Textilbespannung beim Fuehren des Fußbodenwischers entlang einer Wand oder Fußleiste in der Ebene des Fußbodens und sie gelangen dadurch bis in die Ecken. Dabei sollten die verstaerkten Laengsraender eine Breite von nur max. 3 cm haben, wodurch ein Hochbiegen der Laengskanten und eine Faltenbildung laengs derselben vermieden wird.In both cases, the longitudinal edges of the textile covering remain in the plane of the floor when the floor wiper is guided along a wall or skirting board and thus reach the corners. The reinforced longitudinal borders should have a width of only max. 3 cm, which prevents bending of the long edges and wrinkling along the same.

Die Handhabung und die Wischqualitaet an den Ecken der Textilbespannung des Fußbodenwischers kann noch verbessert werden, wenn die den Spannrahmen aufnehmenden Taschen von Kunststoff-Formteilen gebildet sind, die sich bis in die Ecken der Textilbespannung erstrecken. Diese Kunststoff-Formteile wirken als zusaetzliche Randverstaerkungen im Eckenbereich. Diese Kunststoff-Formteile koennen mit einer der vorab geschilderten Maßnahmen kombiniert werden, sie erfuellen aber auch bereits allein und ohne zusaetzliche Versteifung der zwischen den beiden Kunststoffteilen liegenden Laengsraender die gestellte Aufgabe. Dies ganz einfach deshalb, weil die zwischen den Kunststoff-Teilen liegenden Laengsraender sich nicht mehr falten bzw. knuddeln koennen, da dieser Bereich gespannt bleibt. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Kunststoff-Formteile ist darin zu sehen, daß damit praktisch Taschen gebildet werden koennen, so daß ohne Schwierigkeiten der Spannrahmen eingefuehrt werden kann. Ein extra Anfassen und Buecken ist nicht erforderlich.The handling and the wiping quality at the corners of the textile covering of the floor wiper can be further improved if the pockets receiving the tenter frame are formed by molded plastic parts which extend into the corners of the textile covering. These molded plastic parts act as additional edge reinforcements in the corner area. These molded plastic parts can be combined with one of the measures described above, but they also already fulfill the task on their own and without additional stiffening of the longitudinal edges lying between the two plastic parts. This is simply because the long edges between the plastic parts can no longer fold or hug, as this area remains tense. Another advantage of these molded plastic parts is that they can be used to practically form pockets, so that the stenter can be inserted without difficulty. An extra touch and stooping is not necessary.

Um zu erreichen, daß diese Kunststoff-Formteile das Auswringen der Textilbespannung nicht behindern, koennen die den Seitenkanten der Textilbespannung benachbarten Raender dieser Formteile mit einer Aussparung versehen werden, so daß diese Teile in Draufsicht etwa U-foermig sind.In order to ensure that these plastic molded parts do not hinder wringing out of the textile covering, the edges of these molded parts adjacent to the side edges of the textile covering can be provided with a recess, so that these parts are approximately U-shaped in plan view.

Sowohl durch die etwa U-foermigen Formteile als auch durch die an den Laengskanten vorgesehenen Randversteifungen, die zwangslaeufig zu einer Aufdickung fuehren, wird ein leichtes aber sehr wirkungsvolles Auswringen erreicht. Dies hauptsaechlich deshalb, weil sich beim Aufrollen der Textilbespannung auf beiden Seiten radaehnliche Scheiben, die zum Auswringen leicht anzufassen sind und wodurch große Ringkraefte uebertragen werden koennen, bilden.A slight but very effective wringing out is achieved both through the approximately U-shaped molded parts and through the stiffeners provided on the longitudinal edges, which inevitably lead to a thickening. This is mainly because when the textile covering is rolled up, wheel-like disks are formed on both sides that are easy to grasp and which can transmit large ring forces.

Der in Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte Fußbodenwischer weist eine Traegerplatte 1 auf, an deren Oberseite ein Stiel 2 ueber eine Achse 3, die in Boecken 4 gelagert ist, kardanisch befestigt ist. An der Traegerplatte 1 sind zwei buegelfoermige Rahmenteile 5 und 6 angebracht, die in die endseitigen Taschen 21 eines in Fig. 5 dargestellten Wechselbezuges 20 einsteckbar sind. Die beiden Rahmenteile 5 und 6 sind identisch und an den Ecken 5a bzw. 6a ihrer Schenkel um 90o umgebogen. Die Schenkel liegen in seitlichen Rinnen 7 bzw. 8 der Traegerplatte 1. An den Enden der Rinnen befinden sich Sackloecher 9 bzw. 10, in welche die umgebogenen Enden 5a bzw. 6a eingreifen. Das Rahmenteil 6 ist aus der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Strecklage um die von den Enden 6a gebildete Achse A nach unten verschwenkbar, was dadurch ermoeglicht wird, daß die Rinnen 8 nach unten zu offen sind. Das Rahmenteil 6 ist dagegen nicht verschwenkbar, da die Rinnen 7 nach unten zu geschlossen sind. Das schwenkbare Rahmenteil 6 wird in seiner Strecklage durch eine Arretierung gehalten, die von Fortsaetzen oder Nasen 11 gebildet werden, die in den Rinnen 8 an die Traegerplatte 1 angeformt sind.The floor wiper shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has a carrier plate 1, on the top of which a handle 2 is gimbaled via an axis 3, which is mounted in blocks 4. Two bow-shaped frame parts 5 and 6 are attached to the carrier plate 1, which fit into the end pockets 21 of one in FIG. 5 interchangeable cover 20 shown can be inserted. The two frame parts 5 and 6 are identical and bent at the corners 5a and 6a of their legs by 90 o . The legs lie in lateral grooves 7 and 8 of the support plate 1. At the ends of the grooves there are pocket holes 9 and 10, in which the bent ends 5a and 6a engage. The frame part 6 can be pivoted downward from the extended position shown in FIG. 2 about the axis A formed by the ends 6a, which is made possible by the fact that the channels 8 are too open towards the bottom. The frame part 6, on the other hand, cannot be pivoted since the channels 7 are closed at the bottom. The pivotable frame part 6 is held in its extended position by a lock, which is formed by projections or lugs 11, which are formed in the channels 8 on the support plate 1.

Zum Verschwenken des Rahmenteils 6 ist ein buegelfoermiger Hebel 12 vorgesehen, der in der Traegerplatte 1 um eine zur Schwenkachse A des Rahmenteils 6 parallele Achse B schwenkbar gelagert ist. Der Hebel 12 liegt in einem Abstand von der Schwenkachse B und von den Nasen 11 bei 13 an den Schenkeln des Rahmenteils 6 an. Wird der Hebel 12 heruntergedrueckt, so drueckt er das Rahmenteil 6 nach unten, wobei die von den Nasen 11 bewirkte Arretierung durch Spreizen der Schenkel des Rahmenteils 6 ueberwunden wird. Der auf den Rahmenteilen 5,6 aufgeschobene Wechselbezug kann nun abgenommen und ersetzt werden.For pivoting the frame part 6, a bow-shaped lever 12 is provided, which is pivotably mounted in the support plate 1 about an axis B parallel to the pivot axis A of the frame part 6. The lever 12 lies at a distance from the pivot axis B and from the lugs 11 at 13 on the legs of the frame part 6. If the lever 12 is pressed down, it pushes the frame part 6 downward, the locking caused by the lugs 11 being overcome by spreading the legs of the frame part 6. The interchangeable cover pushed onto the frame parts 5, 6 can now be removed and replaced.

Zur Schwenklagerung des Hebels 12 ist die Traegerplatte 1 mit nach unten offenen Aufnahmen 14 (Fig. 4) versehen, in welche an den Enden des Hebels 12 angeformte Lagerbolzen 15 eingeclipst sind. Die Traegerplatte 1 weint nach unten zu offene Aussparungen 16 zur Aufnahme der Enden des Buegels 12 auf. Die schraegen oberen Waende 17 der Aussparungen 16 dienen als Anschlaege fuer das Rahmenteil 6 im nicht betaetigten Zustand, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist.For pivoting the lever 12, the support plate 1 is provided with receptacles 14 (FIG. 4) which are open at the bottom and into which bearing bolts 15 formed on the ends of the lever 12 are clipped. The carrier plate 1 cries down to open recesses 16 for receiving the ends of the bracket 12. The sloping upper walls 17 of the recesses 16 serve as stops for the frame part 6 in the unactuated state, as can be seen from FIG. 4.

Vorzugsweise bestehen die Traegerplatte 1 und der Hebel 12 aus Kunststoff und die Rahmenteile 5,6 aus Metall. Wie ersichtlich, sind der Hebel 12 und die Rahmenteile 5,6 durch einfache Schnappverbindungen mit der Traegerplatte 1 verbunden, so daß sich eine aeußerst einfache Montage ergibt.The carrier plate 1 and the lever 12 are preferably made of plastic and the frame parts 5, 6 of metal. As can be seen, the lever 12 and the frame parts 5, 6 are connected to the support plate 1 by simple snap connections, so that assembly is extremely simple.

Wenn der Fußbodenwischer mit einem Bezug versehen werden soll, tritt der Benutzer auf den Hebel 12, wodurch das Rahmenteil 6 unter Ueberwindung der Arretierung durch die Nasen 11 nach unten schwenkt. Nun kann der Bezug mit seinen endseitigen Taschen 21 auf die Rahmenteile 5,6 aufgeschoben werden. Dann wird das Rahmenteil 6 zurueckgeklappt, wodurch der Bezug gespannt wird. Dabei wird gleichzeitig der Hebel 12 von dem Rahmenteil 6 in seine Ausgangsstellung gemaeß Fig. 4 zurueckgefuehrt.If the floor wiper is to be provided with a cover, the user steps on the lever 12, as a result of which the frame part 6 pivots downwards, overcoming the locking by the lugs 11. Now the cover with its end pockets 21 can be pushed onto the frame parts 5, 6. Then the frame part 6 is folded back, whereby the cover is stretched. At the same time, the lever 12 is returned from the frame part 6 to its starting position according to FIG. 4.

In Fig. 5 ist ein fuer den in Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellten Fußbodenwischer, grundsaetzlich aber auch fuer andere Wischer der gattungsgemaeßen Art verwendbarer Textilbespannung 20 (Wechselbezug) dargestellt. Sie hat eine rechteckige Form und besteht aus einem saugfaehigen Material aufgebaut aus einem Grundgewebe 32 mit Florfaeden 33. An seinen Enden sind auf der Oberseite Taschen 21 vorgesehen, in welche die Rahmenteile 5,6 des Fußbodenwischers eingesteckt werden. Die Laengskanten 34 der Textilbespannung sind mit Versteifungen 23 versehen, die im Ausfuehrungsbeispiel von in die umgeklappten Laengsraender 36 eingenaehten Kunststoffdraehte bzw. Rundstaeben oder Kordeleinlagen 35 gebildet sind. Zur Verdeutlichung sind im Bereich der linken oberen Ecke ein laengsverlaufender Rand 36 und ein querverlaufender Rand 37 aufgeklappt dargestellt, um die Form des Zuschnittes des Grundgewebes 32 zu verdeutlichen und die unter den umgeschlagenen Raendern liegenden Teile sichtbar zu machen.5 shows a textile covering 20 (alternating cover) which can be used for the floor wiper shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, but in principle also for other wipers of the generic type. It has a rectangular shape and consists of an absorbent material made up of a base fabric 32 with pile threads 33. At its ends there are pockets 21 on the top, into which the frame parts 5, 6 of the floor wiper are inserted. The longitudinal edges 34 of the textile covering are provided with stiffeners 23, which in the exemplary embodiment are formed from plastic wires or round rods or cord inserts 35 sewn into the folded longitudinal edges 36. For clarification, a longitudinal edge 36 and a transverse edge 37 are shown unfolded in the area of the upper left corner in order to clarify the shape of the cut of the base fabric 32 and to make the parts lying under the folded edges visible.

Die Textilbespannung 20 weist an ihren Enden auf der Oberseite jeweils eine Tasche 21 auf, die von einem Kunststoff-Formteil gebildet und zur Aufnahme der Enden des Spannrahmens 5,6 des Fußbodenwischers bestimmt ist. Natuerlich koennen die Taschen, wie bekannt, auch aus einem Stoffteil gefertigt sein. Die Raender der Taschen 21 koennen an dem Grundgewebe 32 durch die Naht 39 befestigt werden, welche die Laengsraender 36 mit dem Grundgewebe 32 verbindet. Sie koennen jedoch auch fuer sich an das Grundgewebe angeheftet werden. Um das Auswringen der nassen Textilbespannung zu erleichtern, sind die den Querraendern 37 der Textilbespannung zugewandten Raender 310 der Taschen mit einer relativ tiefen Aussparung 311 versehen, so daß diese Taschen in der Draufsicht etwa U-foermig sind.The textile covering 20 has at its ends on the top each a pocket 21 which is formed by a plastic molded part and is intended for receiving the ends of the tensioning frame 5, 6 of the floor wiper. Of course, as is known, the bags can also be made from a piece of fabric. The edges of the pockets 21 can be fastened to the base fabric 32 by the seam 39, which connects the longitudinal edges 36 to the base fabric 32. However, they can also be attached to the base fabric by themselves. In order to facilitate wringing out of the wet textile covering, the edges 310 of the pockets facing the transverse edges 37 of the textile covering are provided with a relatively deep recess 311, so that these pockets are approximately U-shaped in plan view.

Die Kunststoffdraehte 35 versteifen die Laengsraender 36 der Textilbespannung 20 derart, daß, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, die Ecke 312 zwischen dem Fußboden 313 und der Wand 314 bzw. einer hieran befestigten Fußleiste erfaßt und gereinigt werden kann und auch eine Faltenbildung des Laengsrandes 36 vermieden wird. Die Breite der verstaerkten Laengsraender 36, d. h. der Abstand der Laengskanten 34 von der gestrichelt eingezeichneten Auflageflaeche 315 des Spannrahmens 6, betraegt vorzugsweise nur max. 3 cm, wodurch ein Hochbiegen des Randes beim Fuehren des Fußbodenwischers entlang der Wand, das zur Folge haette, daß die Ecke 312 nicht richtig erfaßt wird, vermieden wird. Die Ecken der Taschen 21 erstrecken sich, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, bis in die Ecken der Textilbespannung 20, so daß auch diese Ecken und gleichzeitig die querverlaufenden Raender 37 der Textilbespannung versteift werden.The plastic wires 35 stiffen the longitudinal edges 36 of the textile covering 20 in such a way that, as can be seen in FIG. 2, the corner 312 between the floor 313 and the wall 314 or a skirting board fastened thereon can be detected and cleaned and also a wrinkling of the longitudinal edge 36 is avoided. The width of the reinforced longitudinal borders 36, i.e. H. the distance between the longitudinal edges 34 and the dashed support surface 315 of the clamping frame 6 is preferably only max. 3 cm, which prevents the edge from bending up when the floor wiper is guided along the wall, which would result in corner 312 not being correctly grasped. The corners of the pockets 21, as can be seen from FIG. 1, extend into the corners of the textile covering 20, so that these corners and at the same time the transverse edges 37 of the textile covering are stiffened.

Beim Ausfuehrungsbeispiel gemaeß Fig 7 ist anstelle eines Kunststoffdrahtes ein flexibler Kunststoff-Streifen 316 entlang jeder Laengskante 34 der Textilbespannung vorgesehen. Dieser Streifen wird wie der Draht 35 in Fig. 5 und 6 durch den umgeschlagenen und vernaehten Laengsrand 36 gehalten.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7, instead of a plastic wire, a flexible plastic strip 316 is provided along each longitudinal edge 34 of the textile covering. This strip is held like the wire 35 in FIGS. 5 and 6 by the folded and sewn longitudinal edge 36.

Gegebenenfalls kann die Naht 39 auch durch den Streifen 316 hindurchgefuehrt sein. Die Befestigung der Taschen 21 erfolgt wie bei dem ersten Beispiel.If necessary, the seam 39 can also be passed through the strip 316. The pockets 21 are attached as in the first example.

Beim Ausfuehrungsbeispiel gemaeß Fig. 8 wird die Versteifung der Laengsraender 36 dadurch erreicht, daß die Raender 36 zweimal umgeschlagen und mit dem Grundgewebe 32 vernaeht sind. Durch diesen doppelten Umschlag kann die sonst zur Vermeidung eines Ausfransens der Kante erforderliche Randkettelung entfallen. Auch hier koennen die Taschen 21 gleichzeitig mit angenaeht werden.8, the stiffening of the longitudinal borders 36 is achieved in that the borders 36 are turned over twice and sewn to the base fabric 32. This double envelope means that the edge binding that is otherwise necessary to avoid fraying of the edge can be dispensed with. Here, too, the pockets 21 can be sewn at the same time.

Beim Ausfuehrungsbeispiel gemaeß Figur 9 erfolgt die Versteifung nur durch die Taschen 21 in den Eckbereichen 317. Auf eine weitere Randversteifung wie bei den vorangegangenen Beispielen wird dabei gaenzlich verzichtet. Es hat sich in der Praxis gezeigt, daß die Spannung des Spannrahmens 5,6 im Zusammenwirken mit den Versteifungen im Eckbereich vollkommen ausreichend ist. Die Ausbildung der Taschen 21 als Kunststoff-Formteil hat sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen. Durch die Moeglichkeit der Profilierung ist ein besonders leichtes Einfuehren des Spannrahmens 5,6 gewaehrleistet. Unterschiedliche Wandstaerken, so ist der mittlere Bereich 318 in der Wandstaerke deutlich duenner ausgefuehrt als der umlaufende Eckbereich 319, wird auf der einen Seite ein hoher Anpressdruck der Textilbespannung 20 auf den Boden und in Ecken ermoeglicht. Auf der anderen Seite ist dennoch ein Leichtes Wringen der Textilbespannung 20 moeglich. Natuerlich kann die Tasche 21 auf die Textilbespannung 20 aufgenaeht bzw. aufgeklebt oder aufgeschweißt werden. Es ist dennoch vorteilhaft, um eine Beschaedigung von empfindlichen Moebelteilen zu vermeiden, die Textilbespannung 20 ueber den Taschenrand 319 umzuschlagen und somit den Kunststoffbereich total abzudecken.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 9, the stiffening takes place only through the pockets 21 in the corner regions 317. A further edge stiffening as in the previous examples is completely dispensed with. It has been shown in practice that the tension of the tenter frame 5,6 in cooperation with the stiffeners in the corner area is completely sufficient. The design of the pockets 21 as a molded plastic part has proven to be particularly advantageous in several respects. The possibility of profiling ensures particularly easy insertion of the tensioning frame 5, 6. Different wall thicknesses, for example the middle area 318 in the wall thickness is made significantly thinner than the peripheral corner area 319, on the one hand a high contact pressure of the textile covering 20 on the floor and in corners is made possible. On the other hand, a slight wringing of the textile covering 20 is nevertheless possible. Of course, the pocket 21 can be sewn or glued or welded onto the textile covering 20. However, in order to avoid damaging sensitive furniture parts, it is advantageous to fold the textile covering 20 over the pocket edge 319 and thus to completely cover the plastic area.
