Abstract

A cleaning device has a support body with two foldable frame elements and a cloth which has two pockets for receiving the frame elements. The two frame elements can be detachably arranged in the pockets. A holder may be arranged inside each packet, the holders and the corresponding frame elements may be interconnected in a nondestructive manner.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cleaning device, comprising:
a support body including a first foldable frame element and a second foldable frame element; and
a cloth including a first pocket and a second pocket, each pocket being configured to receive a selected one of the frame elements,
wherein the frame elements are arranged so as to be detachable in the pockets,
wherein a holder is arranged inside each pocket, and
wherein the holders and corresponding frame elements are automatically, without manual connection, connected together in a non-destructively detachable manner during movement of the frame elements into the pockets.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the holders and the frame elements are connected together in each case in a positive locking manner.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the holders is a clip element.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the clip element is substantially C-shaped, and
wherein the clip element includes a lead-in chamfer configured for a corresponding frame element.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the holders is a barbed hook.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the holders is a barbed hook.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the barbed hook includes lamellae.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the lamellae have a height which is at least 1.1 times greater than a frame element height, which is received between the lamellae.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the holders include an elastically pliable, polymer material.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the holders comprise at least two receiving means for the respective frame elements, which receiving means are arranged located one behind another in the direction of insertion of the frame elements.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the holders are arranged at the back in the direction of insertion in each pocket, in the region of the closed end-face boundary of the pockets.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the holders are sewn, bonded or welded into the pockets.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the frame elements are formed in each case by a metal wire bracket.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein, when the frame elements are folded, the cloth has is substantially M-shaped.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the frame elements are clamping frame brackets.

16. The device of claim 1 , comprising no further frame elements.
