Surface Cleaning Device

Abstract

The invention relates to a surface cleaning device, comprising a support body ( 1 ), connected to a cleaning sponge ( 2 ), whereby the support body ( 1 ) has at least one plunger-shaped projection ( 3 ) on the side thereof facing the cleaning sponge ( 2 ), which is arranged in a corresponding recess ( 4 ) in the cleaning sponge ( 2 ).

1 . Surface cleaning device comprising a carrier body, which is connected to a cleaning sponge, where the carrier body presents at least one plunger-shaped projection on the side turned toward the cleaning sponge, which projection is arranged in a congruently shaped recess of the cleaning sponge, where the cleaning sponge comprises at least two partial cleaning sponges, each with a cleaning surface, where the partial cleaning sponges, which are made of different materials, are arranged next to each other and connected to each other, where the first partial cleaning sponge presents a greater flexibility than the second one, each in the dry state.  
   
   
       2 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the height of the recess to the height of the cleaning sponge is less than or equal to 1.  
   
   
       3 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 2 , wherein the ratio is 0.3-0.95.  
   
   
       4 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 2 , wherein the ratio is 0.5-0.75.  
   
   
       5 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning sponge presents a plurality of recesses, where a projection is arranged in each one of the recesses.  
   
   
       6 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 5 , wherein the recesses are arranged with regular distribution over the upper surface of the cleaning sponge, which is turned toward the carrier body.  
   
   
       7 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 5 , wherein the recesses are arranged only in a partial area of the cleaning sponge, and in that the partial area forms a power zone with increased cleaning effectiveness with respect to the areas of the cleaning sponge that border the partial area.  
   
   
       8 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning sponge is made of polyurethane.  
   
   
       9 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning sponge is made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).  
   
   
       10 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 7 , wherein the partial area is a component of the first partial cleaning sponge.  
   
   
       11 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein only the first partial cleaning sponge is made of polyurethane (PU).  
   
   
       12 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second partial cleaning sponge is made of cellulose.  
   
   
       13 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the partial cleaning sponges are each constructed as a single piece and of the same material.  
   
   
       14 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the partial cleaning sponges each present a substantially cuboid design, and they are connected to each other by their, in each case mutually facing, front sides.  
   
   
       15 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein on the front side of the first partial cleaning sponge, which is turned away from the second partial cleaning sponge, a third partial cleaning sponge is arranged and is connected to the first partial cleaning sponge.  
   
   
       16 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 15 , wherein the second and the third partial cleaning sponge are designed so they agree with regard to shape and/or material.  
   
   
       17 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein only the cleaning surface of the first partial cleaning sponge presents a microfiber wiping trimming on the side turned away from the upper surface.  
   
   
       18 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier body presents at least two flaps, which are connected to each other in such a way that they can be folded by an articulation designed like a hinge, where the articulation is arranged exclusively in the area of the surface of the first partial cleaning sponge.  
   
   
       19 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier body is made of a polymer material.  
   
   
       20 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the projections form a component of the carrier body, which component forms a single piece with the carrier body and is made of the same material.  
   
   
       21 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the projections are made of an elastomer material.  
   
   
       22 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the projections are designed so that they are elastically resilient in the axial direction.  
   
   
       23 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier body and the cleaning sponge are connected to each other in a detachable and destruction-free manner.  
   
   
       24 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier body presents a handle on the side turned away from the cleaning sponge.  
   
   
       25 . Surface cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier body and the handle are connected to each other by linkage with an articulation.
