Zwei Wischplatten 1 und 2 sind unter Zwischenschaltung eines Doppelgelenkes 3 miteinander verbunden. Das Doppelgelenk 3 wird durch zwei Scharniere 4 und 5 gebildet, die die Verbindung von einer Zwischenplatte 6 zu den beiden Wischplatten 1 und 2 bilden. Auf der Zwischenplatte 6 sind zwei Gelenkgrundteile 7 angeformt, die ein Kardangelenk 8 aufnehmen. Das Kardangelenk 8 besteht dabei aus einer in den Gelenkgrundteilen 7 gelagerten Längsachse 9 mit einem Achsenkopf 10, der wiederum von einer Querachse 11 durchdrungen ist, an der eine Stielaufnahme 12 drehbar gelagert ist. Mit der Stielaufnahme 12 ist ein Stiel 13 verbunden.Two wiper plates 1 and 2 are interposed by a double joint 3 connected with each other. The double joint 3 is formed by two hinges 4 and 5, which form the connection from an intermediate plate 6 to the two wiper plates 1 and 2. Two joint base parts 7 are formed on the intermediate plate 6 and have a universal joint 8 take up. The universal joint 8 consists of one in the joint base parts 7 mounted longitudinal axis 9 with an axis head 10, which in turn is from a transverse axis 11 is penetrated, on which a handle receptacle 12 is rotatably mounted. With the stem holder 12 a stem 13 is connected.

Auf dem Stiel 13 ist eine Verschiebehülse 14 bis zu einem Anschlag 15, der am Stiel 13 befestigt ist, verschiebbar gelagert. Die Verschiebehülse 14 setzt sich aus einem Griffteil 16, dem Gleitbereich 17 mit einem Führungsschlitz 18 und den gabelförmig angeformten Druckarmen 19 und 20 zusammen. On the handle 13 there is a sliding sleeve 14 up to a stop 15 which is on the handle 13 is attached, slidably mounted. The sliding sleeve 14 is composed of a handle part 16, the sliding area 17 with a guide slot 18 and the fork-shaped Print arms 19 and 20 together.

Die Druckarme 19, 20 sind zum Pressvorgang über die Verschiebehülse 14 mit den Wischplatten 1 und 2 in Wirkverbindung bringbar. Dazu sind auf den Wischplatten 1 und 2 jeweils gelenkseitig ein Mitnehmerteil 21, 22 angeformt. Die Mitnehmerteile 21, 22 stehen senkrecht auf den Wischplatten 1, 2 und liegen mit einer Fläche 23, wie in Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich, an einer Rückfläche 24, der Gelenkgrundteile 7 an. Wenn die Verschiebehülse 14 in Pfeilrichtung 25 aus ihrer Stellung gemäß Figur 1 verschoben wird, kommen die Druckarme 19, 20 mit den Mitnehmerteilen 21 und 22 in Eingriff. Dazu haben die Druckarme 19 und 20 jeweils eine Nut 26, die an den Enden 27 durch je eine Wand 28 abgeschlossen sind. Durch die Nachgiebigkeit der Konstruktion weichen beim Auftreffen der Druckarme 19, 20 auf die Mitnehmerteile 21, 22 die Wände 28 derart zurück, dass sie, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, hinter L-förmige Fortsätze 29, die die Form einer Kugel 30 haben, rasten. Der L-förmige Fortsatz 29 hat dabei die Querschnittsform der Nute 26, sodass ein gutes Gleitverhalten und eine sichere Führung gewährleistet ist.The pressure arms 19, 20 are for pressing operation via the sliding sleeve 14 with the Wiper plates 1 and 2 can be operatively connected. For this purpose, wipers 1 and 2 in each case a driver part 21, 22 integrally formed on the joint side. The driver parts 21, 22 stand perpendicular to the wiper plates 1, 2 and lie with a surface 23, as in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen, on a rear surface 24, the joint base parts 7. If the sliding sleeve 14 is moved in the direction of arrow 25 from its position according to Figure 1, the come Pressure arms 19, 20 with the driver parts 21 and 22 in engagement. To do this, the pressure arms 19 and 20 each have a groove 26 which is closed at the ends 27 by a wall 28 each are. The flexibility of the construction gives way when the pressure arms hit 19, 20 the walls 28 back onto the driver parts 21, 22 in such a way that, as in FIG shown, snap behind L-shaped extensions 29 which have the shape of a ball 30. The L-shaped extension 29 has the cross-sectional shape of the groove 26, so that a good Sliding behavior and safe guidance is guaranteed.

Durch weiteres Verschieben der Verschiebehülse 14 in Pfeilrichtung 25 erfolgt ein Einklappen der Wischplatten 1 und 2 gemäß der Ansicht in Figur 3 und ein Auspressen des Wischpads 35. Dabei gleiten Druckrippen 31 auf ansteigenden Druckflächen 32 auf den Wischplatten 1 und 2.Further displacement of the sliding sleeve 14 in the direction of arrow 25 results in a Folding in the wiper plates 1 and 2 according to the view in FIG. 3 and pressing out the Wiping pads 35. Pressure ribs 31 slide on rising pressure surfaces 32 on the Mop plates 1 and 2.

Nach dem Auspressen des teilweise nicht dargestellten Wischpads über die Wischplatten 1 und 2 wird die Verschiebehülse 14 entgegen der Richtung 25 zurückgezogen, bis die Wände 28 an die Kugel 30 stoßen und so die Wischplatten 1, 2 strecken und in die in Figur 2 dargestellte Lage bringen. Durch Weiterziehen der Verschiebehülse 14 weichen die Wände 28 durch die natürlichen Federeigenschaften der Materialien unter Druck so weit zurück, dass die in Figur 1 dargestellte Stellung wieder erreicht wird. In dieser Stellung ist durch das Kardangelenk ein Wischen in jeder Richtung möglich. Auch bei sehr weit schräg gestelltem Stiel 13 treffen die Druckarme 19 und 20 sicher die Mitnehmerteile 21 und 22, wozu die Einlaufradien 33 am Ende 34 der Druckarme 19, 20 beitragen.After pressing out the wiping pad, which is not shown in part, over the wiping plates 1 and 2, the sliding sleeve 14 is retracted against the direction 25 until the Bump the walls 28 against the ball 30 and thus stretch the wiper plates 1, 2 and into the in FIG. 2 bring shown position. By pulling the sliding sleeve 14 away Walls 28 through the natural spring properties of the materials under pressure so far back that the position shown in Figure 1 is reached again. Is in this position The cardan joint allows wiping in any direction. Even at a very wide angle provided arm 13, the pressure arms 19 and 20 safely meet the driver parts 21 and 22, to which the inlet radii 33 at the end 34 of the pressure arms 19, 20 contribute.
