Cleaning head for a mopping device

Abstract

A cleaning head for a mop comprising a clamping strip and a cleaning body. The cleaning body fits in the clamping strip. The clamping strip is channel shaped and open towards the cleaning body and having two side walls and one connecting element connecting the side walls to each other. The connecting element has an inner side which faces the cleaning body and an outer side which faces away from the cleaning body. The clamping strip has a connecting region to connect the clamping strip to a mop adapter which accommodates the cleaning head. The connecting region has a stop which acts in an axial direction of a handle of the mop and is configured to be placed on a counter stop on the adapter. The stop is disposed in an imaginary plane extending parallel to the connecting strip. An attachment mechanism is in the imaginary plane.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning head for a mop, the cleaning head comprising:
 a clamping strip and a cleaning body, the cleaning body being accommodated in the clamping strip with at least one of a force fit or an interlocking fit, the clamping strip being substantially channel shaped and being open towards the cleaning body and having two side walls and one connecting element which connects the side walls to each other, the connecting element having an inner side which faces the cleaning body and an outer side which faces away from the cleaning body, the clamping strip having a connecting region which extends in a longitudinal direction of the cleaning head so as to connect the clamping strip to a mop adapter which accommodates the cleaning head, the connecting region having, on the outer side of the connecting strip, at least one stop which acts in an axial direction of a handle of the mop and which is configured to be placed on a counter stop on the adapter, the stop being disposed in an imaginary plane which extends parallel to the connecting strip;   wherein at least one attachment mechanism is disposed in the imaginary plane.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaning head according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting strip has, in the connecting region transverse to the longitudinal direction, an attachment mechanism on both sides, each attachment mechanism taking the form of a locking lug, and in that the locking lugs are disposed in the imaginary plane and extend transversely to the longitudinal direction beyond the respective side walls on which locking lugs are formed and delimit an undercut. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaning head according to  claim 2 , wherein the locking lug formed on one of the side walls is offset in the longitudinal direction from the locking lug on the other of the side walls. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning head according to  claim 2 , wherein the locking lugs are disposed directly opposite each other when viewed in the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning head according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer side in the longitudinal direction comprises, on at least one side of a region outside the connecting region, a positioning knob protruding beyond the imaginary plane and used to correctly position and attach the cleaning head to the adapter. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning head according to  claim 1 , wherein lead-in chamfers for a self-centering assembly of the clamping strip in the longitudinal direction relative to the adapter are positioned on sides of the side walls which face away from each other. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning head according to  claim 2 , wherein the clamping strip is formed integrally and of uniform material and comprises the locking lugs and at least one positioning knob protruding beyond the imaginary plane and used to correctly position and attach the cleaning head to the adapter. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning head according to  claim 1 , wherein the clamping strip is made of a corrosion-resistant material.
