Description
MOYENS POUR L'ESSORAGE DE LA TETE D'UN BALAI MEANS FOR SPINNING THE HEAD OF A BROOM
La présente invention concerne des moyens pour l'essorage de la tête d'un balai.The present invention relates to means for wringing the head of a broom.
Les tampons de nettoyage généralement utilisés comportent le plus souvent des franges courtes type "peluche" ou des franges longues ayant des capacités d'absorption de liquide relativement importantes. Il convient donc de les essorer après leur rinçage afin de ne pas répandre sur le sol une quantité excessive d'eau.The cleaning pads generally used most often include short “plush” type bangs or long bangs having relatively high liquid absorption capacities. They should therefore be wrung after rinsing so as not to spill an excessive amount of water on the floor.
A cet effet, il est connu d'employer des presses aptes à serrer la tête du balai et le tampon qu'elle porte. Il est également connu de réaliser une tête de balai dont le corps est en deux parties pouvant pivoter l'une vers l'autre jusqu'à être parallèles et permettre le dégagement de la majeure partie du tampon, fixé par ses extrémités aux extrémités libres desdites parties. Le tampon ainsi dégagé peut ensuite être passé entre deux rouleaux presseurs assurant son essorage.To this end, it is known to use presses capable of tightening the head of the broom and the pad which it carries. It is also known to produce a broom head, the body of which is in two parts which can pivot towards one another until they are parallel and allow the major part of the pad to be released, fixed by its ends to the free ends of said pads. parts. The buffer thus released can then be passed between two pressure rollers ensuring its spinning.
Ces dispositifs présentent un double inconvénient.These devices have a double disadvantage.
D'une part, l'essorage produit est insuffisant. Trop d'eau est répandue sur le sol, ce qui, en diluant la saleté, nuit au nettoyage et conduit à un long temps de séchage ainsi qu'à des risques de nouvelles salissures si quelqu'un vient à marcher sur le sol mouillé.On the one hand, the spin produced is insufficient. Too much water is spilled on the floor, which, by diluting the dirt, interferes with cleaning and leads to a long drying time as well as the risk of further soiling if someone comes to walk on the wet floor.
D'autre part, le pressage tend à tasser les franges ainsi que les salissures qu'elles ont pu ramasser et qui n'ont pu être éliminées par le rinçage du tampon. Ces salissures encrassent rapidement les franges et peuvent être redéposées plus loin sur le sol. Le DE 150 022 décrit un dispositif d'essorage par centrifugation de la tête d'un balai, apte à remédier aux inconvénients précités mais obligeant l'utilisateur, à chaque opération d'essorage, à saisir la tête du balai, à la séparer du manche, à la mettre en place sur un support approprié, situé dans la cuve et ayant un axe orthogonal au plan de rotation de la tête, à entraîner manuellement la tête en rotation puis, après l'essorage, à retirer la tête de son support et à la replacer à l'extrémité du manche.On the other hand, pressing tends to pack the fringes as well as the dirt they may have picked up and which could not be removed by rinsing the pad. This dirt quickly fouls the fringes and can be deposited further on the ground. DE 150 022 describes a wiping device by centrifuging the head of a broom, capable of remedying the aforementioned drawbacks but obliging the user, at each spinning operation, to grasp the head of the broom, to separate it from the handle, to place it on a suitable support, located in the tank and having an axis orthogonal to the plane of rotation of the head, to manually drive the head in rotation then, after spinning, to remove the head from its support and replace it at the end of the handle.
Outre son caractère pour le moins rudimentaire, ce dispositif est donc particulièrement fastidieux et désagréable à utiliser, ces différentes opéra¬ tions devant se répéter un grand nombre de fois au cours du nettoyage d'un soi.In addition to its rudimentary character to say the least, this device is therefore particularly tedious and unpleasant to use, these different operations having to be repeated a large number of times during the cleaning of a self.
La présente invention vise à fournir des moyens qui remédient à ces inconvénients tout en restant très simples de réalisation et de fonctionne-
ment, et en ayant un prix de revient modéré.The present invention aims to provide means which remedy these drawbacks while remaining very simple to produce and operate. and having a moderate cost price.
A cette fin, ces moyens comprennent, en combinaison :To this end, these means include, in combination:
- une cuve, présentant une ouverture vers le haut permettant l'intro¬ duction de la tête du balai, et un berceau tournant disposé dans le fond de la cuve, apte à recevoir la tête du balai et à l'entraîner en rotation pour réaliser son essorage centrifuge, sans séparation de la tête du balai et du manche, et- A tank, having an opening upwards allowing the intro¬ duction of the head of the broom, and a rotating cradle disposed in the bottom of the tank, able to receive the head of the broom and to drive it in rotation to achieve its centrifugal spin, without separation of the broom head and the handle, and
- un balai dont la tête est articulée multidirectionnellement sur l'extrémité du manche. Grâce à cette articulation, il n'est plus nécessaire de prévoir une tête amovible et des moyens de maintien de cette tête en position adéquante lors de la centrifugation. II suffit à l'utilisateur d'introduire la tête du balai dans la cuve, de maintenir le manche en position plus ou moins verticale durant l'essorage et de retirer le balai une fois l'essorage réalisé. Grâce à ces moyens combinés, près des deux tiers de l'eau absorbée par le tampon lors de son rinçage est éliminée, contre seulement un tiers avec les presses de la technique antérieure. Les franges du tampon ne sont pas tassées, au contraire, et les salissures qui se seraient incrustées entre elles et qui n'auraient pas été éliminées lors du rinçage, sont éliminées par centrifugation.- a broom, the head of which is hinged multidirectionally on the end of the handle. Thanks to this articulation, it is no longer necessary to provide a removable head and means for holding this head in an adequate position during centrifugation. It suffices for the user to introduce the head of the broom into the tank, to maintain the handle in a more or less vertical position during the spin and to remove the broom once the spin has been carried out. Thanks to these combined means, nearly two thirds of the water absorbed by the tampon during its rinsing is eliminated, against only a third with the presses of the prior art. The fringes of the tampon are not packed, on the contrary, and the dirt which would have encrusted between them and which would not have been removed during the rinsing, are removed by centrifugation.
Le degré élevé d'essorage obtenu permet, de plus, d'utiliser le balai pour la récupération d'eau sur le sol.The high degree of spin obtained allows, moreover, to use the broom for water recovery on the ground.
Un tel essorage est obtenu avec des vitesses de rotation relativement faibles, de l'ordre de if-00 à 600 tours par minute, et avec un bref temps d'essorage, de l'ordre de trois à huit secondes. L'entraînement de la tête peut donc être réalisé au moyen d'un petit moteur électrique de faible puissance alimenté par des batteries d'accumulateurs de faible capacité, rechargeables la nuit.Such a spin is obtained with relatively low rotational speeds, of the order of if-00 to 600 revolutions per minute, and with a short spin time, of the order of three to eight seconds. Head training can therefore be achieved by means of a small, low-power electric motor powered by low-capacity accumulator batteries, which can be recharged at night.
Avantageusement, des moyens sont prévus pour permettre le maintien du manche du balai par l'utilisateur le temps de l'essorage. Ces moyens peuvent être tels qu'ils permettent une rotation de la tête par rapport au manche mais, de préférence, un manchon est engagé sur le manche avec possibilité de rotation, des bagues fixées au manche étant prévues pour maintenir ledit manchon en position le long du manche. Pour des raisons de sécurité, le dispositif comprend avantageusement deux moyens de commande de son fonctionnement devant être actionnés simultanément pour sa mise en fonctionnement. Ainsi, toute mise en fonc-
tionnement accidentelle, alors que la tête du balai est introduite dans la cuve de manière défectueuse, ce qui peut conduire au blocage de la rotation et à la détérioration du moteur, est éliminée. Lorsque le dispositif est monté sur un chariot de nettoyage, l'un de ces moyens peut être une pédale et l'autre un bouton-poussoir actionnable manuellement.Advantageously, means are provided to allow the user to maintain the handle of the broom for the duration of the spin. These means may be such that they allow rotation of the head relative to the handle but, preferably, a sleeve is engaged on the handle with the possibility of rotation, rings fixed to the handle being provided to maintain said sleeve in position along of the handle. For security reasons, the device advantageously comprises two means for controlling its operation which must be actuated simultaneously for it to operate. Thus, any activation accidental operation, when the brush head is inserted into the tank in a faulty manner, which can lead to the blocking of rotation and to the deterioration of the motor, is eliminated. When the device is mounted on a cleaning carriage, one of these means can be a pedal and the other a manually actuable push button.
Dans une forme de réalisation perfectionnée de l'invention, le dispositif comprend des moyens de commande permettant de régler le temps ou la vitesse de rotation de la tête du balai.In an improved embodiment of the invention, the device comprises control means making it possible to adjust the time or the speed of rotation of the head of the brush.
La cuve peut par ailleurs être équipée : - d'un couvercle amovible dans lequel est ménagée une ouverture pour le passage de la tête du balai, empêchant les projections d'eau sans gêner le nettoyage de la cuve ;The tank can also be equipped with: - a removable cover in which an opening is made for the passage of the head of the mop, preventing water splashes without hindering the cleaning of the tank;
- d'un rebord périphérique bordant le couvercle pour empêcher que l'eau de rinçage s'égouttant du tampon et qui tombe sur le couvercle ne coule sur le côté du dispositif ;- a peripheral rim bordering the cover to prevent the rinsing water dripping from the pad and falling on the cover from flowing on the side of the device;
- d'un fond et/ou, s'il y a lieu, d'un couvercle en forme de cuvette pour canaliser l'eau essorée ou égouttée du tampon ;- a bottom and / or, if necessary, a bowl-shaped cover for channeling the drained or drained water from the pad;
- d'un orifice d'évacuation de l'eau essorée ou égouttée, ménagé dans le fond de la cuve et, s'il y a lieu, dans le couvercle ; lorsque le dispositif est monté de manière surélevée sur un chariot de nettoyage, le ou lesdits orifices se trouvent au-dessus du seau d'eau sale dans lequel la tête est rincée ;- an outlet for drained or drained water, formed in the bottom of the tank and, if necessary, in the cover; when the device is mounted in an elevated manner on a cleaning carriage, the one or more orifices are located above the bucket of dirty water in which the head is rinsed;
- de moyens pour la fixation en position surélevée du dispositif à un chariot de nettoyage, avantageusement réglables pour pouvoir être adaptés aux différents types de chariots existants. De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée des moyens d'essorage qu'elle concerne.- Means for fixing the device in an elevated position to a cleaning trolley, advantageously adjustable so that they can be adapted to the different types of existing trolleys. In any case, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, a preferred embodiment of the wiping means which it relates .

Figure 3 est une vue de côté d'un chariot de nettoyage qui en est équipé. Les figures 1 et 2 représentent sous différents angles un dispositif 2 d'essorage d'une tête 3 d'un balai .-.Figure 3 is a side view of a cleaning cart which is equipped. Figures 1 and 2 show from different angles a device 2 for wiping a head 3 of a broom .-.
Le dispositif 2 comprend une cuve cylindrique 5 équipée d'un berceau
tournant 6 calé sur l'arbre d'entraînement d'un petit moteur électrique 7, aptes à entraîner la tête 3 en rotation de manière à réaliser l'essorage par centrifugation de ses franges longues 8.The device 2 comprises a cylindrical tank 5 equipped with a cradle turning 6 wedged on the drive shaft of a small electric motor 7, capable of driving the head 3 in rotation so as to spin by spinning its long fringes 8.
La tête 3 est articulée multidirectionnellement sur l'extrémité du manche 20 du balai .The head 3 is articulated multidirectionally on the end of the handle 20 of the brush.
Le berceau 6 est constitué par une tige centrale 10, aux extrémités recourbées vers le haut, solidaire de tiges transversales 11 dont les extrémités sont également recourbées vers le haut, les parties non recourbées des tiges 10 et I I correspondant sensiblement respectivement aux longueur et largeurThe cradle 6 is constituted by a central rod 10, with the ends curved upwards, integral with transverse rods 11 the ends of which are also curved upwards, the non-curved parts of the rods 10 and I I corresponding substantially to the length and width respectively.
10 de la tête 3.10 of head 3.
Le milieu de la tige 10 est solidaire d'un manchon tubulaire 15, d'axe orthogonal aux tiges 10 et 11, destiné à être engagé sur un manchon 16, orthogonal au fond 5a de la cuve 5 et fixé à lui avec étanchéité. Le manchon 15 loge une douille 17 coaxiale à l'arbre du moteur 7, dont la cavité a une forme complémentaire de celle de l'extrémité de l'arbre du moteur 7 et qui est destinée à être montée sur ce dernier avec engagement réciproque de manière à réaliser un accouplement permettant, outre la liaison en rotation du berceau 6 et de l'arbre du moteur 7, le maintien transversal du berceau 6. Ce dernier peut ainsi être aisément retiré de la cuve 5 aux fins de nettoyage. Les manchons 15 et 16 constituent une chicane empêchant l'écoulement de l'eau essorée sur le moteur 7.The middle of the rod 10 is integral with a tubular sleeve 15, of axis orthogonal to the rods 10 and 11, intended to be engaged on a sleeve 16, orthogonal to the bottom 5a of the tank 5 and fixed to it with sealing. The sleeve 15 houses a socket 17 coaxial with the motor shaft 7, the cavity of which has a shape complementary to that of the end of the motor shaft 7 and which is intended to be mounted on the latter with reciprocal engagement of so as to produce a coupling allowing, in addition to the rotational connection of the cradle 6 and the motor shaft 7, the transverse holding of the cradle 6. The latter can thus be easily removed from the tank 5 for cleaning purposes. The sleeves 15 and 16 constitute a baffle preventing the flow of the water drained on the motor 7.
Le moteur 7 peut entraîner le berceau 6 pendant trois à huit secondes et à une vitesse variant de 00 à 600 tours par minute. Il a donc une puissance limitée et fonctionne en quatre, huit ou douze volts au moyen d'une batterie d'accumulateurs (non représentée), rechargeable la nuit.The motor 7 can drive the cradle 6 for three to eight seconds and at a speed varying from 00 to 600 revolutions per minute. It therefore has a limited power and operates in four, eight or twelve volts by means of a storage battery (not shown), rechargeable at night.
Pour le maintien par l'utilisateur du manche 20 du balai k pendant l'essorage, ledit manche 20 comporte un manchon 21 engagé sur lui avec possibilité de rotation et deux bagues 22 fixées à lui permettant le maintien du manchon 21 en position. ™ En outre, la cuve 5 comporte une collerette interne 25 en retrait de son bord libre, pour l'appui d'un couvercle amovible 26 dans lequel est ménagée une ouverture 27 pour le passage de la tête 3. Le couvercle 26 empêche les projections d'eau lors de l'essorage et son amovibilité ne gêne pas l'accès à l'intérieur de la cuve 5. " La position en retrait de la collerette 25 permet de délimiter un rebord périphérique continu 28 empêchant l'écoulement sur la paroi extérieure de la cuve 5 de l'eau de rinçage qui s'égoutte des franges 8 avant l'essorage. Cette
eau s'évacue dans la cuve 5 grâce à un orifice 30 ménagé dans le couvercleFor the maintenance by the user of the handle 20 of the broom k during the spinning, said handle 20 comprises a sleeve 21 engaged on it with possibility of rotation and two rings 22 fixed to it allowing the maintenance of the sleeve 21 in position. ™ In addition, the tank 5 has an internal flange 25 set back from its free edge, for the support of a removable cover 26 in which an opening 27 is formed for the passage of the head 3. The cover 26 prevents projections of water during spinning and its removable nature does not hinder access to the interior of the tank 5. "The recessed position of the flange 25 makes it possible to define a continuous peripheral rim 28 preventing flow on the wall outside of the tank 5 of the rinsing water which drips from the fringes 8 before spinning. water is evacuated in the tank 5 through an orifice 30 formed in the cover
26 puis, avec l'eau résultant de l'essorage, dans le seau 35 contenant l'eau sale de rinçage (figure 3) grâce à un orifice 31 ménagé dans le fond 5a.26 then, with the water resulting from the spinning, into the bucket 35 containing the dirty rinsing water (FIG. 3) thanks to an orifice 31 formed in the bottom 5a.
La figure 3 représente un chariot .0 de nettoyage monté sur roulettes . 1. Il porte le seau 35 précité, un seau 36 d'eau propre ainsi que divers objets nécessaires au nettoyage (non représentés). Deux barres horizontales 42 supportant le dispositif 2 en position surélevée sont fixées, au moyen de pièces de connexion 43, au montant 4 du chariot 40.Figure 3 shows a cleaning cart .0 mounted on casters. 1. It carries the aforementioned bucket 35, a bucket 36 of clean water as well as various objects necessary for cleaning (not shown). Two horizontal bars 42 supporting the device 2 in the raised position are fixed, by means of connection pieces 43, to the upright 4 of the carriage 40.
Ce dernier comprend en outre une pédale 50 et un bouton-poussoir 51 d'actionnement de deux contacteurs électriques montés en série pour la commande du fonctionnement du moteur 7. Cette pédale 50 et ce bouton 51 doivent être actionnés simultanément pour la mise en fonctionnement du dispositif 2, ce qui prévient tout risque de mise en fonctionnement acciden¬ telle alors que la tête 3 est en cours d'introduction dans la cuve 5 ou qu'elle est positionnée de manière défectueuse.The latter further comprises a pedal 50 and a push button 51 for actuating two electrical contactors mounted in series for controlling the operation of the motor 7. This pedal 50 and this button 51 must be actuated simultaneously for the operation of the device 2, which prevents any risk of acciden¬ operating such that the head 3 is being introduced into the tank 5 or that it is positioned in a defective manner.
Cette description n'est pas limitative, ainsi que cela a déjà été indiqué. Le bloc moteur peut par exemple être rendu amovible de la cuve, les moyens de commande du fonctionnement du dispositif être électriques mais aussi mécaniques et l'entraînement de la tête du balai être éventuellement réalisé par un système manuel.
This description is not limiting, as has already been indicated. The motor unit can for example be made removable from the tank, the means for controlling the operation of the device can be electric but also mechanical and the drive of the head of the brush may be carried out by a manual system.
