Abrasive Mop and A Method for Producing Such An Abrasive Mop

Abstract

An abrasive mop is proposed which comprises a tube-like carrier element and is characterized by at least two annular abrasive mop segments, which are slid onto the carrier element and are connected to the carrier element by a connective medium.

1 . An abrasive mop, comprising a tube-like carrier element, characterized by at least two annular abrasive mop segments, which are slid onto the carrier element and are connected to the carrier element by a connective medium. 
     
     
         2 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a centering element is disposed between adjacent abrasive mop segments in order to position the abrasive mop segments with respect to the carrier element. 
     
     
         3 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the abrasive mop segments each have an annular groove and the centering element is at least partially disposed in the annular grooves of adjacent abrasive mop segments. 
     
     
         4 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the connective medium comprises a resin. 
     
     
         5 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the carrier element comprises a wall having clearance holes, the connective medium passing through the clearance holes and being connected to the abrasive mop segments. 
     
     
         6 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 1 , characterized by two fixing elements, which are disposed on the ends and abut against abrasive mop segments on the ends in the abrasive-mop axial direction. 
     
     
         7 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the abrasive mop segments each comprise an annular core, abrasive lamellae and side surfaces disposed on the ends. 
     
     
         8 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the centering element comprises an inner ring for positioning the centering element with respect to the carrier element and an outer ring, which is connected to the inner ring, for positioning the abrasive mop segments with respect to the centering element, the inner ring abutting against the carrier element and the outer ring being disposed at least partially in the annular grooves of adjacent abrasive mop segments. 
     
     
         9 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the abrasive mop segments are between 20 mm and 500 mm wide. 
     
     
         10 . A method for producing an abrasive mop, the method comprising the following steps:
 a) selecting a carrier element from a plurality of carrier elements;   b) selecting at least two abrasive mop segments from a plurality of abrasive mop segments;   c) sliding the at least two abrasive mop segments onto the tube-like carrier element;   d) pouring a connective medium in the clearance holes of the carrier element from the interior of the carrier element toward the abrasive mop segments; and   e) curing of the connective medium.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , characterized in that the abrasive mop segments are slid onto the carrier element in such a manner that they each abut against an adjacent abrasive mop segment. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 10 , characterized in that at least one centering element is slid onto the carrier element in such a manner that it is disposed between two adjacent abrasive mop segments. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 10 , characterized in that a fixing element is slid onto each end of the carrier element in such a manner after step c) or step e) that it abuts against a corresponding abrasive mop segment disposed on the ends in the abrasive-mop axial direction. 
     
     
         14 . The abrasive mop according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the resin is an epoxy resin and/or a polyurethane material.
