Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wischbezug für die Reinigung von Fußböden mit einem textilen Trägergebilde in länglicher Form mit oberseitig an beiden Enden aufgebrachten Haltereinschubtaschen aus Textilmaterial ohne Verstärkungen in Form von eingezogenen steifen Plastikstreifen oder ähnlichen Stegen oder Streifen aus wasseraufnahme- und quellfähigem Material und mit unterseitig angebrachtem Material zur Aufnahme von Schutz und Feuchtigkeit in Form von Zotteln, Fransen, Schlingen, Schwammtuchstreifen u.dgl. The invention relates to a mop cover for cleaning floors with a Textile carrier structures in an elongated form with the top applied to both ends Holder insert pockets made of textile material without reinforcements in the form of retracted rigid plastic strips or similar webs or strips of water absorption and swellable material and with material attached on the underside Protection and moisture absorption in the form of shag, fringes, loops, Sponge cloth strips and the like
Solche Wischbezüge werden bei der Fußbodenreinigung verwendet, wozu die Wischbezüge auf Halter aufgezogen werden. Dabei werden die Enden der Halter in die Haltereinschubtaschen eingefügt. Die Halter weisen einen Stiel auf, so daß die Halter mit aufgezogenem Wischbezug bequem über die zu reinigenden Fußböden geführt werden können.Such mop covers are used in floor cleaning used, for which the mop covers on holder be raised. The ends of the holders inserted into the holder insertion pockets. The holder have a stem, so that the holder with open Mop cover conveniently over the floors to be cleaned can be performed.
Ein gattungsgemäßer Wischbezug, bei welchem die Haltereinschubtaschen aus textilem Flächengebilde gebildet sein können, ist aus der DE-PS 38 09 279 bekannt. Bei einem derartigen Wischbezug kann die Einführung des Halters in die Haltereinschubtaschen aber nur bei geöffneten bzw. offen stehenden Taschen erfolgen. Da die Wischbezüge bei der Benutzung aber häufiger zur Entwässerung Pressen zugeführt werden und in regelmäßigen Abständen auch in Waschmaschinen gewaschen und gereinigt werden, kommt es vor, daß die Taschen nicht offen stehen, sondern auf dem textilen Trägergebilde aufliegen. Um den Halter einführen zu können, müssen die Taschen dann zunächst von Hand aufgerichtet werden.A generic mop cover, in which the holder insert pockets made of textile fabric can be formed is from DE-PS 38 09 279 known. With such a mop cover, the Insert the holder into the holder insert pockets but only when the bags are open or open respectively. Since the mop covers when used presses are fed more frequently for dewatering and also at regular intervals in washing machines washed and cleaned, it happens that the bags are not open, but on the lie on textile carrier structures. To insert the holder to be able to, the bags must first of all Be raised up by hand.
Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, sind Wischbezüge bekannt, die im Bereich der Taschenöffnungen Verstärkungen in Form von eingezogenen steifen Plastikstreifen oder ähnliche Stege aufweisen. Diese sind in den Haltereinschubtaschen eingenäht. Solche Verstärkungen weisen aber eine Reihe von Nachteilen auf. Zunächst einmal verursachen diese steifen Stege beim Auspressen der Wischbezüge in Pressen Probleme. Die Wischbezüge klemmen häufig zwischen den Pressrollen der Pressen ein. Auch wird bei Verstärkungsstreifen aus Plastik oder Kunststoff häufig eine Zerstörung der Verstärkungen festgestellt, so daß die Funktion des Offenhaltens der Taschenöffnungen anschließend nicht mehr gegeben ist. Des weiteren weisen die bekannten Lösungen Nachteile bei der Reinigung, also beim Waschen der Wischbezüge auf. Die versteiften Bereiche behindern den Walkprozeß beim Waschen der Wischbezüge in Waschmaschinen. Außerdem scheuern die steifen Stege und Taschen beim Waschprozeß auf dem Trägergebilde und führen so zu einer frühzeitigen Zerstörung des Wischbezuges. Auch wird das Gewicht der Waschgutmenge durch die Versteifungen erhöht, da die Haltereinschubtaschen nunmehr schwerer sind.To remedy this, there are mop covers known, the reinforcements in the pocket openings in the form of retracted stiff plastic strips or have similar webs. These are in the Holder insert pockets sewn in. Such reinforcements however, have a number of disadvantages. First of all, these stiff webs cause when Squeezing out the mop covers in press problems. The mop covers often jam between the press rolls the presses. Also with reinforcement strips plastic or plastic often a destruction of the reinforcements so that the function of the Do not keep the pocket openings open afterwards more is given. Furthermore, the known Solutions disadvantages in cleaning, that is Wash the mop covers on. The stiffened areas hinder the flexing process when washing the Mop covers in washing machines. Also scrub the stiff webs and pockets during the washing process on the carrier structure and thus lead to an early Destruction of the mop cover. That too will Weight of the amount of laundry due to the stiffeners increased because the holder insert pockets are now heavier are.
Es ist auch ein gattungsgemäßer Wischbezug der Anmelderin bekannt geworden (DE-PS 40 25 646), bei welchem die Haltereinschubtaschen im Bereich der Taschenöffnung Streifen aus wasseraufnahme- und quellfähigem Material aufweisen. Bei einem solchen Wischbezug kommt vor der ersten Benutzung der zunächst trockene, aus wasseraufnahme- und/oder quellfähigem Material bestehende Streifen mit Flüssigkeit in Berührung und saugt diese auf, wodurch sich das Volumen der Streifen vergrößert bzw. diese sich ausdehnen. Hierdurch wird ein selbsttätiges Öffnen bzw. das Offenhalten der Haltereinschubtaschen bewirkt, wobei die wasseraufnahme- und/oder quellfähigen Streifen elastisch bleiben und somit die Nachteile der vorbeschriebenen weiteren bekannten Lösungen nicht aufweisen.It is also a generic mop cover Applicant became known (DE-PS 40 25 646), at which the holder insertion pockets in the area of Pocket opening strips of water absorption and have swellable material. With such a Mop cover comes before the first use of the initially dry, from water absorption and / or swellable material consisting of strips with liquid touches and sucks it up, causing the Volume of the strips increases or they expand. As a result, an automatic opening or keeping the holder insert pockets open, where the water absorption and / or swellable Stripes remain elastic and therefore have the disadvantages of other known solutions described above exhibit.
Es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, daß bei einem solchen Wischbezug nach mehrmaliger Wäsche ein selbsttätiges Offenhalten der Haltereinschubtaschen doch nicht ohne weiteres gewährleistet ist, da beim Aufnähen der mit den betreffenden Streifen ausgerüsteten Taschen auf das Trägergebilde es nur möglich ist, die Taschen geringfügig erhaben anzuordnen. Dadurch ist aber die jeweilige Taschenöffnung für den Halter nahezu paßgenau. Da beim Waschen mit Waschtemperaturen von etwa 60°C das Taschen-/Trägergebildegewebe schrumpft, hat es sich herausgestellt, daß es dann nur noch schwer möglich ist, den Halter noch in die Taschen einzuführen.However, it has been found that one such a mop cover after repeated washing automatic holding of the holder insert pockets is not easily guaranteed because when sewing on the one equipped with the relevant strips Bags on the support structure it is only possible that Arrange bags slightly raised. This is but the respective pocket opening for the holder almost a perfect fit. Because when washing with washing temperatures the pocket / carrier fabric at about 60 ° C shrinks, it has been found that it then it is difficult to keep the holder still in to insert the bags.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist deshalb die Schaffung einer Lösung, mit der ein Offenhalten der Taschen auch nach mehrmaliger Wäsche des Wischbezuges zu bewirken ist, ohne die weiteren Gebrauchseigenschaften eines solchen Wischbezuges zu beeinträchtigen.The object of the invention is therefore to create a solution that also keeps the bags open after washing the mop cover several times effect without the other properties of such a mop cover.
Mit einem Wischbezug der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das längliche Trägergebilde wenigstens im Bereich der Haltereinschubtaschen aus einem gegenüber dem Textilmaterial der Haltereinschubtaschen stärker wärmeschrumpfenden Material besteht.With a mop cover of the type mentioned at the beginning This type of task according to the invention solved that the elongated support structure at least in Area of the holder insertion pockets from one opposite the textile material of the holder insert pockets more heat shrinkable material.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Wischbezuges wird das selbsttätige Offenhalten der Haltereinschubtaschen durch mehrmalige Wäsche des Wischbezuges noch verbessert. Durch das Waschen schrumpft nämlich das Gewebe des Trägergebildes stärker als das Gewebe der Taschen, so daß die Taschen sich zwangsweise zusätzlich wölben müssen, d.h. durch das unterschiedliche Schrumpfverhalten öffnet sich die Tasche automatisch und zusätzlich, wodurch die Haltereinführung deutlich begünstigt wird. Gleichzeitig ist auch die Herstellung des Wischbezuges vereinfacht, da keine zusätzlichen Elemente aus Plastikstreifen oder aus wasseraufnahme- und/oder quellfähigen Streifen erforderlich sind, die mit den Taschen vernäht werden müssen. Da sowohl das Gewebe der Taschen als auch des Trägergebildes elastisch ist, wird der Walkprozeß in Waschmaschinen nicht behindert und die Bezüge werden auch in Pressen anschließend nicht deformiert. Außerdem ist das Mischgewebe des Trägergebildes saugfähig, so daß auch das Trägergebilde am Reinigungsprozeß teilnimmt.This configuration of the invention The wiping cover will automatically keep it open the holder insert pockets through repeated washing of the mop cover still improved. By the Washing shrinks the fabric of the support structure stronger than the fabric of the pockets, so that the bags have to bulge additionally, i.e. due to the different shrinkage behavior the bag opens automatically and additionally, whereby the holder insertion is significantly favored. At the same time is the manufacture of the mop cover simplified because there are no additional elements made of plastic strips or from water absorption and / or swellable Strips are required with the pockets need to be sewn. Because both the fabric of the Bags as well as the support structure is elastic the milling process in washing machines is not hindered and the covers are also subsequently in presses not deformed. In addition, the blended fabric is the Carrier structure absorbent, so that the carrier structure participates in the cleaning process.
In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Trägergebilde aus einem Baumwoll-Kunststoff-Mischgewebe und die Haltereinschubttaschen aus einem reinen Kunststoffgewebe bestehen. Das Mischgewebe des Trägergebildes ist dabei so zu wählen, daß ein ausreichend unterschiedliches Schrumpfverhalten zwischen dem Trägergebildegewebe und dem Taschengewebe gewährleistet ist.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the support structure from a Cotton-plastic blend and the holder insert pockets from a pure plastic fabric consist. The mixed fabric of the carrier structure is to choose so that a sufficiently different Shrinkage behavior between the carrier fabric and the pocket fabric is guaranteed.
Vorzugsweise besteht das Trägergebilde aus einem Mischgewebe aus Baumwolle/Polyester, Baumwolle/Polyamid oder auch aus Baumwolle/Polypropylen.The carrier structure preferably consists of a Blended fabrics made of cotton / polyester, cotton / polyamide or also made of cotton / polypropylene.
Das Kunststoffgewebe der Haltereinschubtaschen besteht vorzugsweise aus Polyester, wobei grundsätzlich auch andere Kunststoffgewebe einsetzbar sind. Polyestertaschen sind allerdings besonders strapazierfähig und reinigungsinaktiv.The plastic fabric of the holder insertion pockets consists preferably of polyester, whereby basically other plastic fabrics can also be used. However, polyester bags are particularly hard-wearing and cleaning inactive.
Besteht beispielsweise das Mischgewebe des Trägergebildes aus 65 % Polyester und 35 % Baumwolle und das Kunststoffgewebe der Taschen aus Polyester, so hat sich herausgestellt, daß nach fünfmaliger 60°-Wäsche eines erfindungsgemäßen Wischbezuges das Trägergebilde um 4 % schrumpft, während die Taschen nur um 1 % schrumpfen, so daß sich der gewünschte Offenhalteeffekt durch Wölbung der Taschen einstellt.For example, there is the mixed fabric of the support structure 65% polyester and 35% cotton and the plastic fabric of the polyester bags, it has been found that after five 60 ° washes of a mop cover according to the invention Carriers shrink by 4% while pockets only shrink by 1% so that the desired one Holds open effect by arching the pockets.
