Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning brush for in particular curved surfaces, in particular for use as a toilet brush, dish brush, brush for cleaning the gutter, cosmetic peeling brush or sauna brush.
  • Toilet brushes are used to clean today common toilet bowls, which are usually made of porcelain and have a U-shaped, downwardly open, inner edge, in which the water is flushed and in which also can settle dirt.
  • the toilet brush itself so especially their cleaning head, yet be designed so that the cleaning process in the cleaning head settling solid contaminants are also easily removable, preferably only by means of the flow of water toilet flushing inside the toilet bowl ,
  • the most common form consists of a cleaning head which is rotationally symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the stem, and which consists of bristles, usually bundles of bristles, which are received by the body of the cleaning head, which is a kind of extension in the axial direction of the stem.
  • both the bristles and the stem and the body of the cleaning head made of plastic.
  • the disadvantage of this design is that the bristles are relatively thin, usually less than 1 mm, and clean only a very narrow track when moving along with their free ends over a surface to be cleaned.
  • the ends of the individual bristles are relatively far apart, namely several millimeters, which is necessary in order not to complicate a subsequent cleaning of the bristles themselves too much, because the closer the bristles are together, the harder are therebetween deposited contaminants remove. This is particularly evident when the bristles are arranged in tufts, the more difficult they are to remove impurities from the interstices between the bristles, the closer they have penetrated the attachment point of the tuft to the base, and the closer the bristles are to one another.
  • the bristles In order to ensure a sufficient cleaning effect on the bottom and side surfaces of the toilet bowl, the bristles would have to have sufficient rigidity. However, this in turn prevents bending and penetration of the bristles under the cranked edge, and if so, then cleaning takes place only on the outside of the cranked edge, but not on the inside.
  • toilet brushes are known in which the cleaning head is a main body in the form of a small, stable plate, from which the bristles or bristle bundles substantially parallel running and only slightly diverging mostly in only one direction, approximately perpendicular to the main plane of the body or in both directions, which are perpendicular to this, protrude.
  • the plate plane of the body is attached bent on the stem.
  • a cleaning of the visible surfaces of the toilet can be done easily, but a cleaning under the bent edge is thus completely impossible.
  • bristle-free cleaning heads for example rotationally symmetrical bodies or irregularly shaped bodies with punctiform nubs, line-shaped projections, etc. on the surface, which can be differently arranged and shaped and only very slightly, usually 1-2 mm, projecting beyond the remaining surface.
  • the different flexibility of its edge regions relative to the central region has the advantage that on the one hand by pressing the relatively stiff central region on the bottom surface of the toilet bowl, a relatively high pressure can be applied, and on the other hand, the flexible Rims of the flat body with both sides of the main surfaces of the body protruding bristles can be easily inserted under the bent edge of the toilet bowl to effect a cleaning there.
  • cleaning elements On the surface of the body a plurality of cleaning elements are arranged, which protrude transversely from the surface of the body, and can protrude at the edge in the main plane of the body.
  • cleaning elements bristles can be used with different cross-sectional shapes, in particular in its cross-section hollow or solid cleaning elements.
  • the orientation of the cross section of such bristles can be selected in each case in the same direction, or viewed from the attachment point of the stem on the base body from each pointing radially outward, the latter simplifies a non-directional use of the brush.
  • the cleaning elements in particular the bristles, integrally formed with the base body of a plastic, such as a rubber-like plastic, and the transition from the body to the cleaning elements or bristles are rounded with a radius of curvature of at least 1 mm, better at least 2 mm, in particular at least 3 mm, thereby preventing the deposition of impurities which is easier in edges.
  • a plastic such as a rubber-like plastic
  • the cleaning elements such as the bristles, arranged on the body at a minimum distance of 3 mm or more, better 4 mm or 5 mm, and accordingly individually and not tufted summarized to also impede the deposition of impurities.
  • the total thickness of the cleaning head is - at least in some of its edge areas - measured including the extension of the cleaning elements attached to it slightly more than the free width in the U-shaped crank of the toilet bowl, so that when you go in with the edges of the brush under the cranked Edge forcibly cleaning takes place both on the inside and on the outside of the crank.
  • the individual edge regions of the base body which may be heart-shaped, kidney-shaped or freely designed in plan view, but preferably convex outward bulges, may be flexibly flexible.
  • one and the same edge region can be flexibly flexible in the two transverse directions to the main plane of the main body, which can easily be achieved, for example, by stiffening ribs present on one side of the main body.
  • the cleaning elements on the two sides of the body have a different rigidity and / or different cross-sectional contours and / or different cross-sectional dimensions to make the cleaning effect of the two sides of the body different, which is particularly advantageous if the stem from the body in its main extension direction protrudes, so that the main body can also be used on the bottom surface of the toilet bowl with both sides.
  • the attachment point of the stem may be arranged offset to the base instead of the edge of the body to the center, and even protrude from the main plane of the main body from perpendicular.
  • the main body of the cleaning head is hollow, which can be used for different purposes.
  • the wall of the main body outlet openings in particular in valve form, which opens only when pressure on the outer surface, be arranged to deploy a stored in the cavity disinfectant or cleaning agent.
  • the cavity in the body is in communication with a cavity in the stem, and the stem is designed as a pump, for example by a piston in its tubular cylinder is sealed displaced.
  • the brush has a locking device in order to maintain the increased pressure in the main body of the cleaning head, so for example to secure the pump piston in a forward pushed position.
  • the style is adjustable in its angular position to the body, preferably even designed to be folded from one to the other side of the body.
  • FIG. 1b shows the entire cleaning brush in the side view, consisting of a stem 1 and a cleaning head 2 , which is attached to the lower, free end of the stem 1.
  • the stem 1 is in the side view double S-shaped cranked by an angle of approximately 45 °, and consists of a preferably hollow profile, for example made of plastic or other easy-to-clean material, which leaves no abrasion on porcelain.
  • the lower end of the stem 1 is preferably provided with a reduced cross-section and inserted in a corresponding receptacle, which protrudes as an extension from the top of the main body 3 of the cleaning head 2 .
  • the stem 1 preferably has a non-round, but non-circular, for example, triangular, outer cross-section to avoid twisting in the hand.
  • the rear, upper end of the stem 1 , all handle 16 is formed, and if the stem 1 is hollow, as in the Figure 1 b , may be arranged at the upper end of a pump 14 in which a piston 17 can be pressed into the cavity 13 of the stem 1 and thereby pressure in the cavity 13 can be constructed, the sense later on hand FIG. 3 is explained.
  • the attached to the handle 1 cleaning head 2 is - as from FIG. 1a apparent from a extending in a main plane 10 main body 3 , such as a plate of increasing thickness to the attachment point 4 of the stem 1 out, and arranged thereon and projecting therefrom in transverse to the main plane cleaning elements 5 , hereinafter referred to as bristles shortly.
  • the main body 3 of the cleaning head 2 has the shape of a heart or leaf, pointing the tip of this shape in the opposite direction, in which the handle 1 is curved in the side view.
  • the bristles 5 are individually arranged on the base body 3 and not combined in bundles.
  • the bristles or cleaning elements 5 can be arranged on lines that run parallel to the edge contour of the main body 3 , as shown in the upper half of the picture, or on lines that are parallel to only part of the outer contour parallel, as shown in the lower half, approximately parallel to the outer contour of the bulges 9 of the heart shape.
  • the bristles 5 can - for example, if they have a non-circular shape such as the shape of a triangle, with its tip always radially away from the center of the body 3 outward, or always in the direction of the axis of symmetry 18 of the body 3 have.
  • the approximately plate-shaped base body 3 in the transverse direction 11 to its main plane 10 in its peripheral areas lighter bar all lying in the wider center areas may be formed on the top stiffening ribs 8 , located in the center, either in the center of gravity or in the attachment point 4 for hit the stem 1 , as in FIG. 1 a, where the attachment point 4, however, is located just behind the center of gravity of the heart shape, which here is the meeting point of the stiffening ribs 8 .
  • the thickness of the base body 3 from the edge portion 3a to the central portion 3 b of the base member 3 increase, as shown in Figure 1 b shown.
  • FIG. 2 shows possible cross-sectional shapes of the bristles or cleaning elements 5 , wherein forms without sharp convex indentations are preferred because it can settle too easily soiling:
  • Element 5 i shows a C-shape and element 5 k an X-shape, e.g. B. formed by two connected to back L-shapes.
  • the rounded transition radius 19 at the transition 6 between the main body 3 and the cleaning elements 5 is important to avoid the deposition of soiling in this area, and can best be achieved by integrally forming the cleaning elements 5 together with the main body part 3 , for example by molding them from a rubber-like plastic.
  • one of the manufacturing alternatives is in, as in Figure 1 b drawn in an element that the main body 3 has through holes through which the elements 5 are inserted through so that they protrude on the top and bottom of the main body part 3 .
  • the degree of supernatant of the cleaning elements from the body is important for the function:
  • constellations can be selected that are adapted to the object to be cleaned, so for example according to Figure 1 b a flat bottom of the base body 3 and a central region 3 b rising top, while in the solution according to FIG. 3 is just the other way round, so there is a flat top and a convex, in the central region 3 b above arched bottom is given.
  • FIG. 4 A typical adaptation to the object to be cleaned shows FIG. 4 when using the brush according to the invention as Toilettenbrüste to clean the free width 7 under the overhanging edge of a toilet key can.
  • cleaning elements 5 is the same size or preferably slightly larger than the free width 7 , to be able to excite both sides of this width simultaneously.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further variant of the cleaning head 2 'by this has a substantially over the entire surface in the main plane 10 extending cavity 12 , which communicates with a cavity 12 in the neck portion and this in turn with the cavity 13 in the then attached stem 1 in combination ,
  • Either the cavity 12 of the base body 3 is closed, then by increasing the pressure - depending on the stiffness of the material of the base body 3 - changed approximately the shape of the base body 3 , but above all significantly stiffened by the increasing pressure in the cavity 12 of the base body 3 , so that a greater mechanical cleaning effect with the same cleaning head 2 , but with reduced elasticity, can be achieved.
  • the cavity 12 may also serve for storing and dispensing a liquid, be it a cleaning liquid, a disinfecting liquid or an odorant liquid, in which outlet openings in the main body 3 , which are preferably designed as valves 15 , are arranged.
  • the outlet openings or valves 15 may be formed either in the cleaning elements 5 , namely its hollow interior, or also between the cleaning elements 5 , but a connection with the cavity 12 in the base body 3 must exist.
  • a pressure on the pump 14 would then spend a limited amount of the substance located in the cavity 12 thereafter.
