Abstract: In the process according to the invention molding compounds based on duroplastic bonding agents are produced thereby that the bonding agents are mixed as a melt with the filler and additive substances. Curing is achieved thereby that the temperature of the mixture during the mixing process increases above the onset temperature of the curing reaction and, after the desired degree of curing has been attained, is suddenly lowered.

Abstract: A cleaning cloth for stretching onto a wiper frame intended for such a cleaning cloth, with pockets for receiving the opposite stretching bow ends (S), and is distinguished by a bead or stiff edge (18) which extends along the longitudinal sides of the cleaning cloth and lies to the outside relative to a seam (16) parallel to the cloth, and by a bead (20) which lies to the inside relative to the seam (16), said seam (16) forming a sort of tilting articulation for the stiffening (18; 20) consisting of the two beads.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved cleaning appliance used to clean floors, walls or the like, with a cardanic or semi-cardanic fastening of the handle to the basic body portion or the cleaning device which does the actual cleaning, scrubbing, wiping or other cleaning function. The invention permits the particular appliance and the handle, semi-cardanically attached thereto, to be fixed in a substantially upright position permitting it to be leaned against a fixed object and thus making the handle accessible to the user without the user or operator having to bend over to pick up the appliance. A setting-up stirrup is articulatably attached on the cleaning device and is caused to articulate by an operator thereby engaging behind a projection, screw or peg on the handle or for catching in a horizontal groove of this handle.

Abstract: A cleaning tool having a basic body which exhibits a handle and a holding device for the reception of a liquid-absorbing element for moistening an object to be wiped, most particularly a flat surface. The cleaning tool also has a mounting for a scraping element for sweeping the object in order to dry it, wherein the holding device is disposed between the mounting and the handle in such a way that, by changing the inclination of the basic body relative to the object, the latter can either be moistened or the moisture upon the object can be stripped off by the cleaning tool, and in a sweeping setting of the cleaning tool, the swept-off moisture being able to be absorbed by the liquid-absorbing element. The basic body may be pivotable relative to the handle from a first spring-loaded position into a second spring-loaded position. The scraping element may have two rubber lips. A wiping cloth, preferably having a cross section which is V-shaped, may be held by the holding device.
