2 AT 009 817 U1

The invention relates to a brush for cleaning aquariums o. The like., Containers and surfaces of various kinds, which are extremely difficult to clean with normal brushes. Brushes for cleaning aquariums, containers o. The like. Require to clean the inside of a special position of the stem to the brush, so that as possible in a vertical position, the brushes rest over the entire surface on the objects to be cleaned.

Furthermore, certain ribs or gaps can be reached, which both hard hard bristles need to remove the various coverings and flexible soft bristles to adapt to the different contours. For example, an algae layer forms in aquaria, which can not always be completely removed with the brush described above. It often remains a certain banding. To avoid this, you can z. B. use the brushes with the rear side with the there suitably made of fleece cushion. In a variety of other containers such cleaning problems arise in a variety of ways.

The invention achieves these necessary special uses in a variety of ways. Once the stalk has a special attitude that is adapted to the hand guide when cleaning such a surface from the inside. Hard bristles are additionally cut very short to achieve a certain pressing force - if appropriate. Slightly longer, softer bristles achieve this purpose particularly well if intermediate spaces, ribs or the like are to be cleaned. To remove stubborn dirt, you can pre-clean with a specially beveled edge by scraping. This scraping edge can also be additionally equipped with flexible, rubber-like elements. But, if necessary, blades made of steel or metal can also be interchangeable.

The top, fitted with the multipurpose pad, suitably made of non-woven fabric, is impervious to certain soiling such as e.g. greasy algae quickly become dirty.

That is why this pillow made of fleece-like material is easily replaceable. Since different heights can be achieved in aquariums and other containers, you can attach a handle to the brush body by various types, so as to clean with correspondingly long stems correspondingly high containers. The stems can be extended by a convenient device.

These objects are achieved according to the invention in that a specially shaped brush body is used which has a corresponding edge for scraping or the like. This brush body also has the ability to attach a stem, either fixed or interchangeable.

The brush surface is occupied by bristles with a straight cut but also expediently with bristles with an oblique cut. Also different hard bristles can be introduced at different locations. The cushion on the rear side of non-woven material o. The like. Can be conveniently fixed by attachment with brackets, screws, click bolts o. The like.
