The invention relates to a window-cleaning device comprising a replaceable flexible lip (1) suitable for mounting on a support part (2) such that one edge of the flexible lip (1) is arranged in a use position, forming a linear contact area with the window to be cleaned. The flexible lip (1) has a quadrangular cross-section with four longitudinal edges (11, 12, 13, 14) at which two larger faces and two smaller faces of the quadrangular cross-section meet. Guides (21, 22) are provided on two facing surfaces of the support part (2) for the coupling of projections (15, 16) defined in the longitudinal mid-area of the larger faces of the flexible lip (1), and said guides are arranged in such a way as to determine four possible mounting positions, in each of which one of the four edges of the flexible lip is disposed in the use position.
Description
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Dispositivo limpiacristales. Objeto de la invención. Glass cleaner device. Object of the invention.
El dispositivo limpiacristales objeto de esta invención es del tipo de los que comprenden un labio flexible, recambiable, adecuado para montarse en una pieza de soporte fijada a un mango de agarre, de modo que una arista de dicho labio flexible quede dispuesta en una posición de uso, conformando una zona de contacto lineal del mencionado labio flexible con el cristal a secar y limpiar. The glass cleaner device object of this invention is of the type comprising a flexible, replaceable lip, suitable for mounting on a support piece fixed to a grip handle, so that an edge of said flexible lip is disposed in a position of use, forming a linear contact zone of said flexible lip with the glass to be dried and cleaned.
Este dispositivo limpiacristales presenta unas particularidades constructivas orientadas a incrementar la vida útil del labio flexible, duplicando al menos el número de usos o servicios del mismo. This glass cleaner device has constructive features aimed at increasing the life of the flexible lip, doubling at least the number of uses or services thereof.
Estado de la técnica. State of the art
Actualmente son ampliamente conocidos los dispositivos limpiacristales que presentan una configuración en "T" constituida por un mango al que se encuentra fijada una pieza de soporte adecuada para permitir el montaje recambiable de un labio flexible. En dicha posición de montaje una arista de labio flexible queda dispuesta en una posición sobresaliente de uso, conformando dicha arista una zona de contacto lineal con el cristal a secar y limpiar. Currently, glass cleaner devices that have a "T" configuration consisting of a handle to which a suitable support piece is attached to allow replaceable mounting of a flexible lip are widely known. In said mounting position a flexible lip edge is arranged in an outstanding position of use, said edge forming a linear contact area with the glass to be dried and cleaned.
Los labios flexibles utilizados en este tipo de dispositivos limpiacristales pueden presentar diferentes medidas, pero mantienen un mismo diseño; presentando de forma generalizada una sección rectangular que presenta en uno de sus laterales menores un regruesamiento redondeado y en el otro extremo menor dos aristas paralelas que se extienden a lo largo del mencionado labio flexible. The flexible lips used in this type of glass cleaner devices can have different measures, but they maintain the same design; presenting in a generalized way a rectangular section that presents in one of its minor sides a rounded thickening and in the other minor end two parallel edges that extend along said flexible lip.
Esta configuración del labio permite su montaje en la pieza de soporte en dos posiciones simétricas, de forma que una de las dos aristas de la cara menor
opuesta quede en posición de uso. This configuration of the lip allows its mounting on the support piece in two symmetrical positions, so that one of the two edges of the smaller face opposite is in use position.
De este modo, cuando una de las aristas se ha deteriorado por el uso, el usuario pueda desmontar el labio flexible y volver a montarlo girado 180° de forma que la arista deteriorada quede en una posición inoperante y que la otra arista, sin utilizar, quede en posición de uso. Thus, when one of the edges has deteriorated by use, the user can disassemble the flexible lip and reassemble it rotated 180 ° so that the damaged edge is in an inoperative position and that the other edge, unused, stay in use position.
El problema técnico que se plantea es el desarrollo de un dispositivo limpiacristales que, sin incrementar el número de elementos de un limpiacristales convencional, permita duplicar la vida útil y el número de usos o servicios del labio flexible. The technical problem that arises is the development of a glass cleaner device that, without increasing the number of elements of a conventional glass cleaner, allows doubling the life and the number of uses or services of the flexible lip.
Descripción de la invención. Con el fin de conseguir los objetivos propuestos, el dispositivo limpiacristales objeto de esta invención comprende un labio flexible que presenta una sección cuadrangular con cuatro aristas longitudinales en las que convergen dos caras mayores y dos caras menores de dicha sección cuadrangular; y una pieza de soporte del labio que presenta en dos superficies enfrentadas unas guías para el acoplamiento de unas prominencias definidas en la zona media longitudinal de las caras mayores del labio flexible y dispuestas de forma adecuada para determinar cuatro posibles posiciones de montaje en las que cada una de las cuatro aristas del labio flexible queda dispuesta respectivamente en posición de uso. La definición de las prominencias en la zona media longitudinal de las caras mayores de labio flexible permite que dicho labio flexible disponga de cuatro aristas longitudinales, dos en cada cara menor, utilizables de forma individual para el secado y limpieza de los cristales, duplicando de este modo el número de utilizaciones de dicho labio flexible respecto a los conocidos y utilizados actualmente. Description of the invention In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the glass cleaner device object of this invention comprises a flexible lip that has a quadrangular section with four longitudinal edges in which two major faces and two minor faces of said quadrangular section converge; and a lip support piece that has on two facing surfaces guides for the engagement of defined prominences in the longitudinal middle area of the larger faces of the flexible lip and arranged in an appropriate manner to determine four possible mounting positions in which each one of the four edges of the flexible lip is disposed respectively in the use position. The definition of the prominences in the middle longitudinal area of the greater faces of flexible lip allows said flexible lip to have four longitudinal edges, two on each minor face, individually usable for drying and cleaning the crystals, doubling of this mode the number of uses of said flexible lip with respect to the known and currently used.
Según la invención las prominencias definidas en las caras mayores de labio flexible son simétricas y de igual sección, de forma que en cualquiera de las
cuatro posiciones posibles de montaje la arista en uso, queda siempre en la misma posición respecto al dispositivo limpiacristales. According to the invention, the prominences defined in the larger sides of the flexible lip are symmetrical and of equal section, so that in any of the four possible mounting positions the edge in use, is always in the same position with respect to the glass cleaner.
