Device having a profile strip equipped with a squeeze element that is freely movable transversely to a working surface

Squeegee means (1) comprising a squeegee device (10), which has a profile strip (2) longitudinally extending therewith and which can be pressed by its squeegee working edge or face (3) against a working surface (4), the squeegee device (10) being pivotable by means of pivot bearings about a squeegee device pivot axis (30) coinciding with the squeegee working edge (3) or extending in the vicinity of a bearing edge or face, said pivot bearings (5) being located in the axial end regions of the squeegee device pivot axis (30) and fix the position thereof and in which the profile strip (2) is connected to a part (21), which projects over the working surface (4) in the direction of the profile strip longitudinal extension and is in engagement with a pivot bearing (5) located outside and laterally of the working surface (4), wherein the profile strip (2) is equipped with a squeegee element, and the squeegee device (10) is positioned loosely, i.e. freely movable via the squeegee element (300) in a direction at right angles to the working surface (4) resting on the latter, and a profile strip bearing part (6) engages loosely on pivot bearing guide surfaces (51) at right angles to the working surface (4) for fixing the pivot axis position and is inserted so as to be freely rotatable or pivotable in the pivot bearings (5) and at least one part (21) of the profile strip (2) projecting over the working surface (4) is fixed to the profile strip bearing part (6), which is located in the vicinity of the squeegee device pivot axis (30) and is circular or circular cylindrical;

• and without positive or non-positive fixing to the squeegee means (1), the squeegee device (10) can be pressed against the working surface (4) only with the magnetic force of a magnet device positioned below the working surface and/or with the weight of the squeegee device;
• and for controlling and the fixed setting of a squeegee device pivot angle, a portion of the profile strip or a part (7) is fixed to the squeegee device (10) and has a radial spacing (r) to the squeegee device pivot axis (30) and is in loose (fastening-free) engagement with a control part (8) movable and fixable transversely to the profile strip longitudinal extension.
