Description

Vorrichtung zur Entfernung von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln  Device for removing fibers, lint and / or particles
Technisches Gebiet Technical area
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Stand der Technik The present invention relates to a device for removing fibers, lint and / or particles according to the preamble of claim 1. Prior art
Zur Entfernung von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln auf einer Oberfläche, insbesondere einer glatten oder rauen textilen Oberfläche, kommen bislang Vorrichtungen zum Beispiel in Form von Kleider- oder Fusselrollen sowie entsprechende Bürsten oder spezielle Tücher zum Einsatz. To remove fibers, lint and / or particles on a surface, in particular a smooth or rough textile surface, hitherto devices for example in the form of clothes or lint rolls as well as corresponding brushes or special cloths are used.
Solche Vorrichtungen für textile Oberflächen, exemplarisch beschrieben in der DE 94 02 146, der DE 94 02 147 oder der DE 94 21 303, sind als sogenannte Kleider- oder Fusselbürsten bekannt. Sie sind derart aufgebaut, dass nach mehrfachem Entfernen von Fasern Fusseln und/oder Partikeln eine Reinigung der Vorrichtung selbst, im Falle von Bürsten durch Auswaschen, erforderlich ist. Diese Art von Kleiderbürsten verfügen dabei klassisch über eine bestimmte Anzahl von Bürstenhaaren oder Borsten, vorzugsweise Naturhaarborsten. Diese Naturhaarborsten, insbesondere Rosshaar- oder Schweinsborsten neigen dazu in Verbindung mit Wasser einen unangenehmen Geruch zu entwickeln. Moderne Bürsten verfügen daher über sogenannte Mikrofasereinsätze, welche zwar weniger Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikel aufnehmen können und daher häufiger gereinigt werden müssen, jedoch keine Eigengerüche entwickeln. Such devices for textile surfaces, described by way of example in DE 94 02 146, DE 94 02 147 or DE 94 21 303, are known as so-called clothes or lint brushes. They are constructed such that after multiple removal of fibers lint and / or particles cleaning of the device itself, in the case of brushing by washing, is required. This type of clothes brushes have classic about a certain number of brush hairs or bristles, preferably natural hair bristles. These natural hair bristles, especially horsehair or pig bristles, tend to develop an unpleasant odor when combined with water. Modern brushes therefore have so-called microfiber inserts, which although less fibers, lint and / or particles can absorb and therefore need to be cleaned more often, but do not develop their own odors.
Das Anwendungsprinzip von Mikrofasern ist auch für den Bereich der Entfernung von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln auf glatten Oberflächen bekannt und zwar nur nicht in Form von Tüchern oder Lappen, sondern auch als speziell hierfür vorgesehene Vorrichtungen, wie exemplarisch beschrieben in der DE 20 2009 000 870. Das Prinzip der mechanischen Reibung an der Oberfläche beim Entfernen der Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikel führt dabei gelegentlich zu Oberflächenbeschädigungen, beispielsweise in Form von Kratzern. The principle of use of microfibers is also known in the field of removal of fibers, lint and / or particles on smooth surfaces and not only in the form of towels or cloths, but also as specially provided for devices, as described by way of example in DE 20 2009 000 870. The principle of mechanical friction on the surface during removal of the fibers, lint and / or particles occasionally leads to surface damage, for example in the form of scratches.
Andere Vorrichtungen wie Kleiderrollen machen sich die Eigenschaft eines sich auf der mit Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln kontaminierten Oberfläche rollenden Zylinders zu Nutzen, dessen Oberfläche selbst mit einer endlich begrenzten Anzahl von Klebebandwindungen überzogen ist. Sobald die oberste Klebebandwindung mit Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln überzogen ist, muss der Vorgang abgebrochen werden und diese Klebebandwindung abgezogen werden. Solche Vorrichtungen sind in der Regel voluminöse Einwegartikel, umfassen sie doch Rollenhalter und den Rollzylinder selbst, sodass nach Verbrauch der letzten Klebebandwindung diese Art der Vorrichtung entsorgt werden muss. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist detailliert in der DE 1 908 307 beschrieben. Other devices, such as clothes rolls, take advantage of the property of a cylinder rolling on the surface contaminated with fibers, lint and / or particles, the surface of which is itself coated with a finite number of tape windings. Once the topmost tape wrap is covered with fibers, lint and / or particles, the process must be stopped and this tape wrap removed. Such devices are usually bulky disposable items, but they include roll holder and the roll cylinder itself, so disposed of after consumption of the last tape winding this type of device must become. Such a device is described in detail in DE 1 908 307.
Andere Ausführungen, sogenannte Fussel- oder Kleiderrollen basieren auf adhäsiven Rollenauflage aus technischen teils makro- oder mikrostrukturierten Silikon- oder gummiartigen Oberflächenauflagen, deren rein physikalisch mechanische Adhäsionskraft für Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikel gegenüber den chemischen Adhäsionskräften von Klebeschichten jedoch aufgrund des Wirkungsprinzips unterlegen sind. Ein häufigeres Reinigen derartiger Vorrichtungen ist dabei ebenso erforderlich wie eine Neuanschaffung nach bestimmter Nutzungsdauer aufgrund der Abnutzung oder Aushärtung der Silikone oder Gummiteile. Other designs, so-called lint or clothes rolls are based on adhesive roll support of technical partly macro- or microstructured silicone or rubber-like surface coatings, the purely physical mechanical adhesion force for fibers, lint and / or particles are inferior to the chemical adhesion forces of adhesive layers, however, due to the principle of action , More frequent cleaning of such devices is required as well as a new purchase after a certain period of use due to wear or hardening of the silicones or rubber parts.
Zusammenfassend weisen die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen zentrale Nachteile bei einer universellen Handhabung für textile und nichttextile Oberflächen unter intensiven Ressourcenaufwand auf, was die Nachreinigung der Vorrichtung selbst oder deren Ersatzbeschaffung anbelangt. In summary, the known from the prior art solutions have central disadvantages in a universal handling for textile and non-textile surfaces under intensive resources on what the post-cleaning of the device itself or their replacement procurement concerns.
In der DE 296 10 859 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Schmutzpartikeln, wie Fusseln, Fasern, Staub, Krümeln, Schuppen, Haaren oder dergleichen beschrieben, welche aus einer flexiblen Trägerbahn besteht, die auf einer Seite mit einer Haftbeschichtung belegt ist, wobei eine Vielzahl solcher haftenden Trägerbahnen blockartig übereinandergelegt sind. Das blockartige Übereinanderlegen der Trägerbahnen, beschichtet mit einer Haftschicht, ergibt einen starren blockförmigen Volumenkörper. Dieses Übereinanderlegen resultiert ferner in einem Verlust der Flexibilität der Vorrichtung selbst und hat somit zum Nachteil, sich jedem beliebigen von Schmutzpartikeln zu befreienden Untergrund anpassen zu können. In DE 296 10 859 a device for removing dirt particles, such as lint, fibers, dust, crumbs, dandruff, hair or the like is described, which consists of a flexible carrier web which is coated on one side with an adhesive coating, wherein a plurality such adhesive carrier webs are superimposed block-like. The block-like superimposition of the carrier webs coated with an adhesive layer results in a rigid block-shaped solid. This overlapping also results in a loss of flexibility of the device itself and thus has the disadvantage of being able to adapt to any dirt particles to be liberated underground.
In der DE 20 2013 104 323.0 U ist eine Vorrichtung zur Entfernung von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln von einer Oberfläche offenbart, welche durch eine Klebeschicht auf zumindest einer Umlauffläche einer Hülle gekennzeichnet ist. Diese Klebeschicht wird vor Ingebrauchnahme durch ein Schutzpapier abgedeckt. DE 20 2013 104 323.0 U discloses a device for removing fibers, lint and / or particles from a surface which is characterized by an adhesive layer on at least one circumferential surface of a casing. This adhesive layer is covered by a protective paper prior to use.
Diese Vorrichtung hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass ein insgesamtes Handling von Hülle und Schutzpapier nicht einfach ist. Hinzu kommt, dass das Schutzpapier nicht einfach von der Klebeschicht zu lösen ist. Weiterhin kann der für die Klebeschicht verwendete Klebstoff nicht für alle Textilien verwendet werden und ist darüber hinaus auch nicht auf die Qualität des Hüllenmaterials abgestimmt. However, this device has the disadvantage that a total handling of the envelope and protective paper is not easy. In addition, the protective paper is not easy to remove from the adhesive layer. Furthermore, the adhesive used for the adhesive layer can not be used for all textiles and moreover is not matched to the quality of the shell material.
Aufgabe der Erfindung Object of the invention
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu überwinden. Insbesondere soll eine Vorrichtung bereitgestellt werden, die einfach und schnell und insbesondere ressourcen- und oberflächenschonend zur Entfernung von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln auf sämtlichen, glatten und/oder rauen, Oberflächen, insbesondere textilen Oberflächen, durch einfache Handhabung und flexible Anpassung an eine solche Oberfläche beliebiger Geometrie, verwendet werden kann, ohne diese zu verkratzen oder in ähnlicher Weise zu beschädigen. The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a device is to be provided which is simple and quick and, in particular, resource and surface sparing for the removal of fibers, lint and / or particles on all, smooth and / or rough surfaces, especially textile surfaces, by simple handling and flexible adaptation to a such surface of any geometry can be used without scratching or otherwise damaging it.
Lösung der Aufgabe Solution of the task
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe führen die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 sowie des nebengeordneten Anspruches 2. To achieve the object, the features of claim 1 and the independent claim 2.
Zwei flexible, komplementäre Teilflächen aus ressourcenschonendem Material sind übereinanderliegend derart miteinander verbunden, dass sie eine hand- oder fingeraufnehmende Hülle bilden. Selbstverständlich soll auch daran gedacht sein, die Hülle aus einem Schlauch herzustellen bzw. die Hülle aus nicht komplementären Teilflächen zusammenzusetzen. Dies hätte den Vorteil, dass keine Naht vorhanden ist. Eine der beiden Teilflächen ist dabei öffnungsseitig, d.h. in Richtung einer Öffnung der Hülle länger ausgebildet als die andere Teilfläche, d.h. eine der beiden Teilflächen bildet eine verlängerte Teilfläche bzw. Überstand aus. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die beiden Teilflächen bei Gebrauch leichter voneinander lösen, um eine Hand und/oder einen oder mehrere einzelne Finger zwischen sich aufnehmen zu können. Two flexible, complementary partial surfaces of resource-saving material are connected to one another in such a way that they form a hand- or finger-receiving envelope. Of course, it should also be thought to make the shell of a tube or to assemble the shell of non-complementary faces. This would have the advantage that there is no seam. In this case, one of the two partial surfaces is designed to be longer on the opening side, ie longer in the direction of an opening of the sheath than the other partial surface, ie one of the two partial surfaces forms an extended partial surface or projection. In this way, the two faces can be easily separated from each other in use to accommodate a hand and / or one or more individual fingers between them.
Die Hülle kann eine beliebige dem Verwendungszweck dienende geometrische Aussenkontur aufweisen, vorzugsweise die eines Handschuhs - mit Fingerteilen oder ohne. The shell may have any intended for the purpose of use geometric outer contour, preferably that of a glove - with finger parts or without.
Eine oder beide oder auch nur Bereiche von Umlaufflächen der beiden Teilflächen der Hülle sind mit einer Klebeschicht beschichtet, sodass sie eine klebrige Oberfläche aufweisen. Die Klebeschicht nimmt dabei bevorzugt also nicht die vollständige Umlauffläche ein. Stattdessen verbleibt ein klebefreier Bereich auf zumindest einer der Umlaufflächen, welcher sich natürlich bevorzugt in einem Randbereich dieser Umlauffläche befindet. One or both, or even only areas of circumferential surfaces of the two partial surfaces of the envelope are coated with an adhesive layer so that they have a sticky surface. The adhesive layer preferably does not occupy the complete circulation area. Instead, a tack-free region remains on at least one of the circulation surfaces, which of course is preferably located in an edge region of this circulation surface.
Diese Klebeschicht kann aus Gründen der Handhabung durch eine Schutzfolie oder -papier oder dergleichen derart geschützt sein, dass zahlreiche Vorrichtungen dieser Art in beispielsweise einer Spendervorrichtung, ähnlich einem Papierhandtuchspender, einzeln entnehmbar gelagert werden können. This adhesive layer may be protected for reasons of handling by a protective film or paper or the like such that numerous devices of this type may be individually removably mounted in, for example, a dispenser, similar to a paper towel dispenser.
Die Schutzfolie gleicht in Form und Ausmass derjenigen Teilfläche, deren Klebeschicht sie abdecken soll. Damit überdeckt die Schutzfolie auch den klebefreien Bereich in einem Randbereich der Umlauffläche, was ein besseres Ergreifen und Abziehen der Schutzfolie ermöglichen soll. The protective film is similar in shape and extent of that part of the surface, the adhesive layer to cover them. Thus, the protective film also covers the tack-free area in an edge region of the rotating surface, which should allow better grip and removal of the protective film.
Das Aufziehen oder Überstreifen der Vorrichtung über eine Hand oder einen oder mehrere Finger und das Abziehen der Schutzfolie dienen als vorbereitende Massnahmen für das Entfernen von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln. Den Entfernungsschritt stellen nun beliebige Bewegungen wie ganz- oder teilflächiges Tupfen, Wischen, Reiben, Rubbeln mit der Vorrichtung auf beliebigen Oberflächen zur Entfernung von Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln dar. Pulling or tucking the device over one hand or one or more fingers and peeling off the protective film serve as preparatory measures for the removal of fibers, lint and / or particles. The removal step now represents any movements, such as or partial dabbing, wiping, rubbing, rubbing with the device on any surfaces to remove fibers, lint and / or particles.
Die klebrige Oberfläche bindet die Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikel und reinigt somit oberflächenschonend beliebige, textile oder nichttextile Oberflächen. Hierzu zählen nur beispielhaft Kleidung, Polstermöbel, Autositze und dergleichen mehr. The sticky surface binds the fibers, fluff and / or particles and thus cleans any surface, textile or non-textile surfaces. These include, by way of example only clothing, upholstered furniture, car seats and the like.
Die Vorrichtung kann durchaus mehrmals verwendet werden. Ein einmaliger Gebrauch ist ebenfalls denkbar, da aufgrund des ressourcenschonenden Materials die Vorrichtung direkt nach Gebrauch mitsamt den darauf permanent haftenden Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikeln direkt dem dualen System für Recycling zugeführt werden kann. Da bevorzugt ein lösungsmittelfreier Klebstoff für die Klebeschicht in Frage kommt, ist die Vorrichtung zu 100% recyclingfähig. The device can certainly be used several times. A single use is also conceivable, since due to the resource-saving material, the device can be fed directly after use, together with the permanently adhering fibers, lint and / or particles directly to the dual system for recycling. Since a solvent-free adhesive is preferred for the adhesive layer, the device is 100% recyclable.
Zumeist sind die Vorrichtungen mit LDPE (Low-density polyethylene)-Qualität vorgesehen. Jedoch sind auch Vorrichtungen in LDPE Post-Consumer- Recyling-Qualität, PP (Polypropylen) und aus Natron-Papier jeweils mit Schutzpapier vorgesehen. Der verwendete Klebstoff für die Klebeschicht ist dann auf die einzelnen Qualitäten abgestimmt. In most cases, the devices are provided with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) quality. However, devices in LDPE post consumer recyling quality, PP (polypropylene) and made of soda paper are also each provided with protective paper. The adhesive used for the adhesive layer is then matched to the individual qualities.
Der verwendete Klebstoff für die Klebeschicht soll jedoch nicht nur auf die einzelnen oben genannten Qualitäten abgestimmt sein, er soll ferner für auch für Naturfasern und Kunstfasern geeignet sein. However, the adhesive used for the adhesive layer should not only be tailored to the individual qualities mentioned above, it should also be suitable for natural fibers and synthetic fibers.
Weiterhin ist es denkbar, eine oder beide Flächen der Vorrichtung und/oder die Schutzfolie mit Werbung zu versehen. Furthermore, it is conceivable to provide one or both surfaces of the device and / or the protective film with advertising.
Ein Vorteil der vorliegenden Vorrichtung ist, dass sie flexibel zum Einsatz gebracht werden kann. Durch ihre Ausgestaltung passt sie in jede Tasche und kann überall hin mitgenommen werden. Zusätzlich weist sie ein einfaches Handling auf und Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikel und dergleichen werden schnell und zuverlässig entfernt. An advantage of the present device is that it can be used flexibly. Its design fits in any pocket and can be taken anywhere. In addition, it has a simple handling and fibers, lint and / or particles and the like are removed quickly and reliably.
Figurenbeschreibung figure description
Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels sowie anhand der Zeichnungen; diese zeigen in: Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment and from the drawings; these show in:
Figur 1 einen perspektivischen Querschnitt durch eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung; Figure 1 is a perspective cross-section through an inventive device;
Figur 2 eine perspektivische Ansicht der Vorrichtung nach Figur 1 beim Abziehen einer Schutzfolie; und Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device of Figure 1 when peeling off a protective film; and
Figur 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht der Vorrichtung nach Figur 1 in Gebrauchslage. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the device according to FIG. 1 in the position of use.
Gemäss den Figuren 1 bis 3 weist eine Vorrichtung P aus ressourcenschonendem Material bevorzugt zwei flexible und bevorzugt komplementäre Teilflächen 1 und 2 auf, welche übereinanderliegend derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass sie eine hand- oder fingeraufnehmende Hülle 10 bilden. Eine der beiden Teilflächen 1 oder 2 ist dabei öffnungsseitig, d.h. in Richtung einer Öffnung 7 der Hülle 10 länger ausgebildet als die andere Teilfläche 2 oder 1 , d.h. eine der beiden Teilflächen 1 oder 2 bildet eine verlängerte Teilfläche bzw. Überstand 1 1 aus, wie dies in Figur 2 gezeigt ist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die beiden Teilflächen 1 und 2 bei Gebrauch leichter voneinander lösen, um eine Hand 8 und/oder einen oder mehrere einzelne Finger zwischen sich aufnehmen zu können. According to FIGS. 1 to 3, a device P of resource-saving material preferably has two flexible and preferably complementary partial surfaces 1 and 2, which are connected to one another in such a way that they form a hand-held or finger-receiving casing 10. One of the two partial surfaces 1 or 2 is in this case the opening side, i. in the direction of an opening 7 of the shell 10 is made longer than the other part surface 2 or 1, i. one of the two partial surfaces 1 or 2 forms an extended partial surface or projection 11, as shown in FIG. In this way, the two faces 1 and 2 can be easily solved in use of each other to accommodate a hand 8 and / or one or more individual fingers between them.
Figur 1 zeigt eine mögliche Ausführungsform, bei der eine oder beide Umlaufflächen 3 und 4 der Teilflächen 1 und 2 der Hülle 10 mit einer Klebeschicht 5 derart beschichtet sind, dass sie eine klebrige Oberfläche aufweisen. Selbstverständlich können auch nur Bereiche der ein oder anderen oder beider Umlaufflächen 3 und 4 mit einer Klebeschicht 5 versehen sein. Die Klebeschicht 5 nimmt dabei bevorzugt also nicht die vollständige Umlauffläche 3 und/oder 4 ein. Stattdessen verbleibt ein klebefreier Bereich 12 auf der Umlauffläche 3 und/oder 4, welcher sich natürlich bevorzugt in einem Randbereich der Umlauffläche 3 und/oder 4 befindet, um die nachfolgend beschriebene Schutzfolie 6 ergreifen zu können. FIG. 1 shows a possible embodiment in which one or both circulating surfaces 3 and 4 of the partial surfaces 1 and 2 of the casing 10 are coated with an adhesive layer 5 in such a way that they have a sticky surface. Of course, only areas of one or the other or both circulating surfaces 3 and 4 may be provided with an adhesive layer 5. The Adhesive layer 5 thus preferably does not occupy the complete circumferential surface 3 and / or 4. Instead, a tack-free region 12 remains on the circulation surface 3 and / or 4, which of course is preferably located in an edge region of the circulation surface 3 and / or 4 in order to be able to grip the protective film 6 described below.
Die Klebeschicht 5 ist aus Gründen der vereinfachten Handhabung und zum Schutz vor Verkleben im Falle mehrerer Vorrichtungen untereinander mit besagter Schutzfolie 6 oder -papier oder dergleichen versehen. Die Schutzfolie 6 gleicht in Form und Ausmass derjenigen Teilfläche 1 bzw. 2, deren Klebeschicht 5 sie abdecken soll. Damit überdeckt die Schutzfolie 6 auch den klebefreien Bereich 12 in einem Randbereich der Umlauffläche 3 und/oder 4, was ein besseres Ergreifen und Abziehen der Schutzfolie 6 ermöglichen soll. The adhesive layer 5 is provided for reasons of simplified handling and to protect against sticking in the case of several devices with each other with said protective film 6 or paper or the like. The protective film 6 is similar in shape and size of those part of the surface 1 and 2, the adhesive layer 5 to cover them. Thus, the protective film 6 also covers the tack-free region 12 in an edge region of the circumferential surface 3 and / or 4, which should enable a better grip and removal of the protective film 6.
Bezugnehmend auf die Figuren 1 - 3 erklärt sich die Funktionsweise der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung P folgendermassen: With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the mode of operation of the device P according to the invention is explained as follows:
Die Vorrichtung P wird über die Hand 8 und/oder einzelne Finger gestreift. Die Hand 8 fährt dabei in die Öffnung 7 der Vorrichtung P zwischen den beiden Teilflächen 1 und 2 ein, was durch den Überstand 11 im Vergleich zu früher deutlich vereinfacht ist. The device P is striped over the hand 8 and / or individual fingers. The hand 8 moves into the opening 7 of the device P between the two faces 1 and 2, which is significantly simplified by the supernatant 11 compared to earlier.
Gemäss Figur 2 wird dann die Schutzfolie 6 von der darunter befindlichen Klebeschicht 5 abgezogen, was bevorzugt in Richtung der Finderspitzen erfolgen soll. Dies gelingt einfach, indem im Bereich des klebefreien Bereiches 12 unter die Schutzfolie 6 gegriffen wird, um dort dann die Schutzfolie 6 zu ergreifen und abzuziehen. According to FIG. 2, the protective film 6 is then removed from the adhesive layer 5 underneath, which is preferably to take place in the direction of the finder tips. This is easily achieved by gripping under the protective film 6 in the area of the tack-free area 12 in order then to grip and remove the protective film 6 there.
Die Vorrichtung P ist nun gebrauchsfertig. Sie kann nun, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, entsprechend von Pfeilen 9 bzw. durch beliebige Bewegungen in alle Raumrichtungen, durch ganz- oder teilflächiges Tupfen, Wischen, Reiben, Rubbeln, eingesetzt werden, um Fasern, Fusseln und/oder Partikel von einer nicht näher gezeigten Oberfläche zu entfernen. Die Klebeschicht 5 bindet dabei die Fasern, Fussel und/oder Partikel und reinigt damit oberflächenschonend beliebige, textile oder nichttextile Oberflächen. Obwohl nur eine/einige bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel/e der Erfindung beschrieben und dargestellt wurde/n, ist es offensichtlich, dass der Fachmann zahlreiche Modifikationen hinzufügen kann, ohne Wesen und Umfang der Erfindung zu verlassen. The device P is now ready to use. It can now, as shown in Figure 3, according to arrows 9 or by any movements in all directions, by wholly or teilflächiges dabbing, wiping, rubbing, scratching, are used to fibers, lint and / or particles of a remove surface not shown in detail. The adhesive layer 5 binds the fibers, lint and / or particles and thereby cleans any surface, textile or non-textile surfaces. Although only a / a few preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, it will be obvious that one skilled in the art can add numerous modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
