Patent number: 7670073Abstract: A device, for applying a flowable medium to a surface, includes a container, equipment to be worn on a back, a hose and a hose adapter, which can attach the hose to an outlet opening of the container, and which includes a ventilating element. The device further includes a handle having an end to which a wiping or applying device is mounted. The equipment includes a mounting plate attached to supporting straps to hold the container; and the container includes coupling elements for coupling the container to the mounting plate. A duct of the device extends from a first end of the hose, such that, when the hose is attached to the container, at the first end thereof, by the hose adapter, the duct conducts the flowable medium, from the container, to an outlet of the handle, which outlet is spaced apart from the wiping or applying device.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2009Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: Hans-Leo Fernschild, Heiko Faubel, Karl-Heinz Rogmann, Ulrike Scheuvens

Patent number: 5975544Abstract: The present trolley is suitable for accommodating and conveying containers and apparatus for the commercial cleaning and disinfecting of floors and other surfaces, and as a collector for valuable substances and for other tasks involved in the commercial cleaning of buildings. The trolley has a base plate and substantially vertically aligned uprights. The base plate comprises at least one downwardly projecting shaft which is suitable for accommodating the uprights, and is additionally connected by struts to the underside of the base plate. The danger of breakage at the points where the uprights are secured to the base plate is considerably reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1996Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Henkel-Ecolab GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5913528Abstract: A cleaning vehicle which is suitable for holding and transporting containers and devices for the commercial cleaning and disinfection of floors and other surfaces, consists of a main vehicle with wheels and a trailer with wheels and a coupling for connecting the trailer to the main vehicle. The coupling consists of at least one tow-hook and corresponding eyes in which the hook can engage. The shape of the hook and eyes is such that the coupling allows the trailer to rotate about the connecting line of the eyes of the main vehicle and/or the vertical movement of the trailer in relation to the main vehicle, but no movement of the trailer in the plane of travel in relation to the main vehicle. The wheels of the main vehicle do not lock when taking curves and are stable even on uneven surfaces. At the same time the trailer can be properly steered by the main vehicle without any undesired movements of the trailer. The improvement is also simple and economical.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1996Date of Patent: June 22, 1999Assignee: Henkel-Ecolab GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5680667Abstract: A floor-cleaning mop head includes an oblong textile base fabric with, attached to the top at both ends, slide-in pockets for the head-holder and, attached underneath, material designed to collect moisture and dirt in the form of hair tufts, fringes, loops, foam-rubber strips, and so forth. The oblong base fabric consists, at least in the zone of the slide-in pockets, of a material which is more highly heat-shrinking than the textile material of which the pockets are made, in order to ensure that the pockets on top of mop remain open even after repeated washing of the mop head, without effecting other useful characteristics of the mop.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1996Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Assignee: Henkel-Ecolab GmbH & Co.
