Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schmutzfänger für Waschtröge mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a strainer for Washing troughs with the characteristics of the generic term of Claim 1.

Ein solcher Waschtrog ist beispielsweise aus der DE-C-35 02 307 bekannt. Dieser Waschtrog ist im wesentlichen rechteckig ausgebildet, besitzt einen oberen Rand, auf dem eine Rolle für die Reinigung von Waschbrettern für Fliesenleger gelagert ist. Solche Waschbretter weisen eine Schaumstoff- oder Schwammauflage auf, mittels der Reste von Fugenmasse von den Fliesen gewaschen werden. Das Waschbrett wird zur Reinigung über der Rolle abgestreift und dann in das Wasser im Waschtrog getaucht, wonach der Waschvorgang wieder aufgenommen wird. Beim Abstreifen werden Partikel der Fugenmasse aus dem Schaumstoff gepreßt, die das Wasser verunreinigen und sich als Schlamm auf dem Boden des Waschtrogs absetzen. Dieser Schlamm wird aufgewirbelt, wenn das Waschbrett im Wasser bewegt wird, so daß das in dem Schaumstoff enthaltene Wasser von Mal zu Mal bereits vor dem Waschvorgang immer stärker verschmutzt ist. Es ist daher erforderlich, den Waschtrog von Zeit zu Zeit zu reinigen und mit frischem Wasser zu füllen. Dieser Vorgang ist zeitaufwendig und umständlich.Such a washing trough is, for example, from DE-C-35 02 307 known. This washing trough is essentially rectangular, has an upper edge, on which has a role for cleaning washboards for Tiler is stored. Such washboards point a foam or sponge pad, by means of Remnants of grout can be washed off the tiles. The washboard comes over the roll for cleaning stripped and then into the water in the wash trough dipped, after which the washing process resumed becomes. When wiping, particles of grout become squeezed out of the foam that the water contaminate and settle as mud on the bottom of the Set down the washing trough. This mud is whirled up if the washboard is moved in the water, so that the water contained in the foam from time to time increasingly dirty even before washing is. It is therefore necessary to wash the trough from time to time time to clean and fill with fresh water. This process is time consuming and cumbersome.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, einen Schmutzfänger für solche Waschtröge zu schaffen, mittels dem die Reinigung vereinfacht wird und durch den der Wasseraustausch weniger oft vorgenommen werden muß.The object of the present invention is therefore a Creating mud flaps for such washing troughs by means of which the cleaning is simplified and by which the water exchange is carried out less often got to.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen gelöst. Fortbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen umfaßt.This task is carried out in the characteristic part of the Features mentioned claim 1 solved. Training and advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the further claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Schmutzfänger für Waschtröge, in denen partikelbehaftete Arbeitsgeräte wie Waschbretter, Bürsten, Pinsel, Reibebretter mit Belägen oder dergleichen gereinigt werden, wobei der Waschtrog mit einer Reinigungshilfe wie einer Rolle, einem Abstreifgitter oder dergleichen versehen ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schmutzfänger ein in den Waschtrog eingehängter oben offener Einsatz mit einem geschlossenen Boden ist, daß der Einsatz wenigstens im Bodenbereich eine rundum verlaufende geschlossene Wand aufweist, daß der Einsatz in einem Abstand über dem Boden Öffnungen aufweist und daß der Einsatz unterhalb der Reinigungshilfe angeordnet ist.According to the invention, a dirt trap for washing troughs is in which work equipment with particles such as Wash boards, brushes, paint brushes, rubbing boards with coverings or the like can be cleaned, the washing trough with a cleaning aid like a roll, a Scraper grid or the like is provided, thereby characterized in that the strainer is one in the Wash trough with open insert closed bottom is that the use at least in Floor area an all-round closed wall has that the insert at a distance above the Floor openings and that the insert below the cleaning aid is arranged.

Durch diesen Aufbau wird gewährleistet, daß das aus dem Schaumstoff gepreßte verunreinigte Wasser zunächst in den Schmutzfänger gelangt, wobei sich die Partikel der Fugenmasse zu einem wesentlichen Teil auf dem Boden des Einsatzes sammeln und ein Flüssigkeitsausgleich durch die Öffnungen erfolgt. Das Wasser außerhalb des Einsatzes bleibt so länger sauber, als ohne Schmutzfänger und die Reinigung des Schmutzfängers ist relativ einfach, indem dieser aus dem Waschtrog gehoben wird und dessen Boden dann mit einem Spachtel ausgeschabt wird. Dies führt auch zu einem geringeren Wasserverbrauch. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ebenso für Reibebretter mit Belägen, Bürsten oder Pinsel benutzt werden, die mit Spachtelmasse, Mörtel, Zement, Putzen oder Farbe verschmutzt sind.This structure ensures that the Pressed contaminated water into foam first the dirt trap, the particles of Grout to a large extent on the floor of the Collect use and a fluid balance through the openings take place. The water outside the Use stays clean longer than without Mud flap and cleaning the mud flap is relatively easy by lifting it out of the washing trough and its bottom with a spatula is scraped out. This also leads to a smaller one Water consumption. The device according to the invention can also for rubbing boards with coverings, brushes or Brushes are used that are filled with filler, mortar, Cement, plaster or paint are dirty.

Vorteilhafterweise ist zwischen dem Boden des Einsatzes und dem Boden des Waschtrogs ein Abstand vorhanden, wodurch Wasser auch unterhalb des Einsatzes zirkulieren kann. Der Einsatz weist vorteilhafterweise Einhängemittel auf, die der Kontur der Oberkante des Waschtrogs angepaßt sind. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung sind die Öffnungen rechteckig und parallel zueinander in gleicher Höhe in den Wänden des Einsatzes angeordnet, wobei sich die Wände des Einsatzes nach unten hin verjüngen und der innere Querschnitt der Öffnungen größer ist als ihr äußerer Querschnitt.Advantageously, between the bottom of the insert and a distance from the bottom of the washing trough, whereby water also circulates below the insert can. The insert advantageously has Hanging on the contour of the top of the Washing troughs are adapted. According to a preferred According to the invention, the openings are rectangular and parallel to each other at the same height in the walls arranged of the insert, the walls of the Taper the insert downwards and the inner one Cross section of the openings is larger than their outer Cross-section.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen beispielhaft näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht eines Waschtrogs im Schnitt mit eingehängtem Schmutzfänger;
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht zu Fig. 1, wobei der Schnitt durch den Waschtrog und den Schmutzfänger verläuft;
  • Fig. 3 eine Draufsicht zu Fig. 1 und 2, wobei die Reinigungsrollen weggelassen sind.
    • The invention is described in more detail below by way of example with reference to drawings. Show:
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a washing trough in section with a dirt trap attached.
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of FIG. 1, the section running through the washing trough and the dirt trap;
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 1 and 2, with the cleaning rollers are omitted.

    • Die Fig. 1 - 3 zeigen einen Waschtrog 5 mit einem eingesetzten Schmutzfänger 1. Der Schmutzfänger 1 faßt dabei mit vier abgerundeten Krallen 6 um den wulstigen oberen Rand 5' des Waschtrogs 5. Der Schmutzfänger 1 ist ein eimerartiger Einsatz mit sich nach unten verjüngenden Wänden, in deren unteren Bereich, jedoch in einem Abstand über dem Boden rundum rechteckige Öffnungen 2 angeordnet sind. Zwischen dem Boden des Einsatzes 1 und dem des Waschtrogs 5 ist ein Zwischenraum angeordnet. Der Einsatz 1 hängt unter zwei Reinigungsrollen 3, die in seitlichen Halterungen 4 des Waschtrogs gelagert sind und erstreckt sich nur über den kleineren Teil der Länge des Waschtrogs 5.1 - 3 show a washing trough 5 with a used strainer 1. The strainer 1 holds doing so with four rounded claws 6 around the beaded one upper edge 5 'of the washing trough 5. The dirt trap 1 is a bucket-like insert with down tapered walls, in the lower area, however rectangular at a distance above the floor Openings 2 are arranged. Between the bottom of the Insert 1 and that of the washing trough 5 is a Intermediate space arranged. The insert 1 hangs under two Cleaning rollers 3, the side brackets 4 of the Washing troughs are stored and only extends over the smaller part of the length of the washing trough 5.
