Description

MANGO PARA ÚTILES DE LIMPIEZA Y SIMILARES OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN HANDLE FOR CLEANING AND SIMILAR TOOLS OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención, tal y como se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un mango para útiles de limpieza y similares, cuya finalidad consiste en proporcionar un mango para elementos tales como escobas, fregonas, cepillos, etc., que presente características ventajosas frente a los mangos existentes en lo que se refiere a resistencia, ergonomía, ecología y aspecto estético.The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a handle for cleaning tools and the like, whose purpose is to provide a handle for elements such as brooms, mops, brushes, etc., which present advantageous characteristics over existing handles in terms of resistance, ergonomics, ecology and aesthetic appearance.
Además de los útiles de limpieza para los que se realiza específicamente el mango de la invención, éste puede aplicarse en general a cualquier objeto que incorpore mango . DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNIn addition to the cleaning tools for which the handle of the invention is specifically made, it can be applied in general to any object incorporating handle. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Para lograr los objetivos indicados anteriormente, la invención consiste en un mango para útiles de limpieza y similares que cuenta con un cuerpo base prefe-* rentemente constituido por un tubo metálico que aporta la forma general del mango.In order to achieve the objectives indicated above, the invention consists of a handle for cleaning tools and the like which has a base body preferably consisting of a metal tube that provides the general shape of the handle.
Sobre la superficie de este cuerpo base se incorpora una primera capa de adhesivo. A continuación, sobre esta capa de adhesivo se incorpora una segunda capa de material plástico, preferentemente un polímero. A su vez y por último, sobre la referida segunda capa se dispone una tercera capa de material plástico, también preferentemente de polímero.A first layer of adhesive is incorporated on the surface of this base body. Next, a second layer of plastic material, preferably a polymer, is incorporated on this adhesive layer. At the same time and finally, on the said second layer a third layer of plastic material is disposed, also preferably of polymer.
Con esta estructura se obtiene un mango de características ventajosas frente a los existentes en el mercado. Dichas características ventajosas consisten en:With this structure a handle of advantageous characteristics is obtained compared to those existing in the market. Such advantageous features consist of:
- Perfecto acabado exterior y brillo, mejores que los de los mangos pintados convencionales .- Perfect exterior finish and shine, better than those of conventional painted handles.
- Resistencia total y por tiempo prácticamente indefinido a cualquier producto químico de limpieza (aunque sean puros o en muy altas concentraciones). Esto implica resistencia a la corrosión, y que ningún producto de los empleados en limpieza cambia el aspecto y el brillo de la superficie del mango de la invención.- Total and indefinite resistance to any chemical cleaning product (even if they are pure or in very high concentrations). This implies corrosion resistance, and that no product of those employed in cleaning changes the appearance and brightness of the surface of the handle of the invention.
- Efecto colchón al tacto al presentar sus capas un espesor mayor que en los mangos convencionales- Mattress effect to the touch when presenting its layers a thicker than in conventional handles
(300 mieras frente a 50 ó 70 mieras de la pintura convencional). Este efecto colchón proporciona mayor protección en caso de golpes. Este mayor espesor del mango de la invención aumenta en más de medio milímetro el diámetro del cuerpo base y da efecto de colchón al tacto.(300 microns versus 50 or 70 microns of conventional paint). This mattress effect provides greater protection in case of bumps. This greater thickness of the handle of the invention increases the diameter of the base body by more than half a millimeter and gives a mattress effect to the touch.
- Posibilidad de hacer mangos con perfil y decoraciones variables, sin limitaciones y sin comprometer la uniformidad de espesor.- Possibility of making handles with profile and variable decorations, without limitations and without compromising the uniformity of thickness.
- Mango más ergonómico. El mango de la invención es muy confortable en la mano, no da sensación de frío y es menos deslizante. Al mismo tiempo da efecto de calidez .- More ergonomic handle. The handle of the invention is very comfortable in the hand, does not feel cold and is less slippery. At the same time it gives warmth effect.
- Mango ecológico. En los mangos pintados convencionales una parte de los costos son por desperdicios y por energía de calentamiento, creando problemas ecológicos . Con el mango de la invención se resuelven problemas ecológicos, tanto en producción como en utilización y reciclaje del producto final. En producción, no hay pinturas ni disolventes que perjudiquen el medio ambiente, y además hay ausencia de desperdicios. En la utilización no se producen pérdidas de pintura que perjudican y crean problemas de higiene. Y en el reciclaje, se puede reciclar el metal del cuerpo base de manera que en la correspondiente fundición de dicho cuerpo base, las capas que rodean al mismo queman sin crear gases peligrosos y aportando calor al proceso de reciclado.- Organic mango. In conventional painted handles a part of the costs are for waste and heating energy, creating ecological problems. With the handle of the invention ecological problems are solved, both in production and in use and recycling of the final product. In production, there are no paints or solvents that harm the environment, and there is also no waste. In use there are no paint losses that harm and create hygiene problems. And in recycling, the metal of the base body can be recycled so that in the corresponding foundry of said base body, the layers surrounding it burn without creating dangerous gases and providing heat to the recycling process.
A continuación, para facilitar una mejor comprensión de esta memoria descriptiva y formando parte integrante de la misma, se acompaña una figura única en la que con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo se ha repre- sentado el objeto de la invención.Next, in order to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and as an integral part of it, a unique figure is attached in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, it has been represented sitting the object of the invention.
