Claims

1. Device for removing fibres, lints and/or particles from a surface, having an adhesive layer (5) on at least one circumferential surface (3, 4) of a cover (10), whereby the cover (10) is composed of at least two flexible, complementary partial surfaces (1, 2), wherein one of the two partial surfaces (1, 2) forms a protrusion (11).

2. Device for removing fibres, lints and/or particles from a surface, having an adhesive layer (5) on at least one circumferential surface (3, 4) of a cover (10), wherein the cover (10) is composed of at least two flexible, complementary partial surfaces (1, 2), and wherein the circumferential surface (3) and/or the circumferential surface (4) has an non-adhesive area (12).

3. Device according to claim 2, wherein the non-adhesive area (12) is located in an edge area of the circumferential surface (3, 4).

4. Device according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion (11) is arranged in the region of an opening (7) of the cover (10).

5. Device according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive layer (5) is provided with a protective film (6).

6. Device according to claim 5, wherein the protective film (6) is similar in shape and extent to the partial surface (1, 2) whose adhesive layer (5) it is to cover.

7. Device according to claim 5, wherein the protective film (6) covers the non-adhesive area (12) in the edge region of the circumferential surface (3, 4).

8. Device according to claim 1, wherein the cover (10) can be guided over a hand (8), one or more fingers or the like.

9. Device according to claim 1, wherein the casing (10) consists of resource-saving and/or recyclable material.

[0026] Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred embodiment and from the drawing; these show in

[0027] FIG. 1 a perspective cross-section of a device according to the invention;

[0028] FIG. 2 a perspective view of the device according to FIG. 1 while removing a protective film; and

[0029] FIG. 3 a perspective view of the device according to FIG. 1 in the position of use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] According to FIGS. 1 to 3, a device P made of resource-saving material preferably has two flexible and preferably complementary partial surfaces 1 and 2, which are connected to each other in a superimposed manner in such a way that they form a hand- or finger-receiving cover 10. One of the two partial surfaces 1 or 2 is thereby formed longer on the opening side, i.e. in the direction of an opening 7 of the cover This makes it easier to separate the two partial surfaces 1 and 2 from each other during use in order to accommodate a hand 8 and/or one or more individual fingers between them.

[0031] FIG. 1 shows a possible embodiment in which one or both of the circumferential surfaces 3 and 4 of the partial surfaces 1 and 2 of the cover 10 are coated with an adhesive layer 5 so that they have a sticky surface. Of course, it is also possible that only areas of one or the other or both circumferential surfaces 3 and 4 are coated with an adhesive layer 5. The adhesive layer 5 does not take up the entire circumferential surface 3 and/or 4. Instead, an non-adhesive area 12 remains on the circumferential surface 3 and/or 4, which is of course preferably located in an edge area of the circumferential surface 3 and/or 4 in order to be able to grip the protective film 6 described below.

[0032] The adhesive layer 5 is covered with the said protective film 6 or paper or the like in order to simplify handling and to prevent sticking in case of several devices to each other. The protective film 6 is similar in shape and size to the partial surface 1 or 2 whose adhesive layer 5 it is to cover. Thus, the protective film 6 also covers the non-adhesive area 12 in an edge area of the circumferential surface 3 and/or 4, which should enable a better gripping and removal of the protective film 6.

[0033] According to FIGS. 1-3, the functioning of the device P according to the invention is described as follows:

[0034] The device P is slipped over the hand 8 and/or individual fingers. The hand 8 moves into the opening 7 of the device P between the two partial surfaces 1 and 2, which is considerably simplified compared to the past by the projection 11.

[0035] According to FIG. 2, the protective film 6 is then peeled off the adhesive layer 5 underneath, preferably in the direction of the finder tips. This can be done simply by reaching under the protective film 6 in the area of the non-adhesive area 12 and then grasping and pulling off the protective film 6.

[0036] The device P is now ready for use. It can now be used, as shown in FIG. 3, in accordance with arrows 9 or by any movement in all directions in all dimensions, by whole or partial dabbing, wiping, grinding, rubbing, to remove fibres, lints and/or particles from a surface not shown in detail. The adhesive layer 5 binds the fibres, lints and/or particles and thus cleans any textile or non-textile surface.

[0037] Although only one or a few preferred embodiment(s) of the invention has been described and presented it is obvious that the skilled person can add numerous modifications without leaving the essence and scope of the invention.
