Description

Outil brossant à profils combinés continus. Brushing tool with continuous combined profiles.
L ' invention se rapporte aux brosses de nettoyage à fonction multiple et concerne plus précisément un outil brossant ayant une forme nouvelle d'ossature qui permet de combiner avec l'objet à nettoyer des zones de contact qui sont à la fois arrondies ou planes ou semi-planes.The invention relates to cleaning brushes with multiple functions and relates more specifically to a brushing tool having a new form of framework which makes it possible to combine with the object to be cleaned contact areas which are both rounded or flat or semi -planes.
Il existe sur le marché des brosses de nettoyage à fonction généralement unique telles que des brosses de vaisselle, de W.C. ou des brosses de sol (balais), qui sont rondes, arrondies ou plates en fonction de l'usage recherché. Certaines combinent plusieurs formes de surfaces pour être adaptables à des objets irréguliers, par exemple une brosse de vaisselle plate se terminant par une portion de cylindre.There are generally single-purpose cleaning brushes on the market such as dish brushes, toilet brushes or floor brushes (brooms), which are round, rounded or flat depending on the intended use. Some combine several surface shapes to be adaptable to irregular objects, for example a flat dish brush ending in a portion of a cylinder.
En outre sur 1 ' ossature de ces brosses on trouve deux types d' empoilage différents, par exemple un souple sur la face inférieure à fonction de brossage ou lavage, et un plus rigide en partie avant pour permettre le grattage. D'autres brosses sont apparues qui apportent la fonction grattage par une zone empoilée supplémentaire sur le dessus de l'ossature, obtenue en reprise, ou par l'adjonction d'un goupillon recourbé et serti ou soudé dans la monture. Mais l'ergonomie de ces brosses, en fonction grattage notamment, n'est pas toujours évidente. De plus, la nécessité de devoir reprendre les pièces pour une opération supplémentaire d' empoilage ou de sertissage renchérit le prix de revient de la brosse. L'invention vise notamment à éviter ces inconvénients en proposant un nouveau concept de brosse dont l' empoilage est apte à atteindre simultanément toutes les surfaces continues à nettoyer et précisément celles qui sont plus difficiles d'accès. L'invention a donc pour objet principal un outil brossant à profils combinés continus essentiellement formé, d'une ossature portant un empoilage ou un revêtement nettoyant, et d'un moyen de préhension et/ou de fixation pour sa manipulation, l'ossature présentant une surface inférieure sensiblement plane et de forme générale triangulaire, outil selon lequel la partie pointue avant forme au moins une portion d'ovoïde prolongeant ladite surface et prolongeant également des parties latérales au moins partiellement toriques qui se développent vers le haut et sur les côtés de la surface triangulaire.In addition, on the framework of these brushes there are two different types of stacking, for example a flexible on the underside with a brushing or washing function, and a more rigid one at the front to allow scraping. Other brushes have appeared which provide the scraping function by an additional stacked zone on the top of the framework, obtained in recovery, or by the addition of a curved bottle brush and crimped or welded in the frame. But the ergonomics of these brushes, particularly in terms of scraping, is not always obvious. In addition, the need to have to take back the parts for an additional stacking or crimping operation increases the cost price of the brush. The invention aims in particular to avoid these drawbacks by proposing a new concept of brush, the stacking of which is capable of simultaneously reaching all of the continuous surfaces to be cleaned and precisely those which are more difficult to access. The main object of the invention is therefore a brushing tool with essentially combined continuous profiles, a frame carrying a stack or a cleaning coating, and a gripping and / or fixing means. for its manipulation, the framework having a substantially planar lower surface and of generally triangular shape, tool according to which the pointed front part forms at least a portion of ovoid extending said surface and also prolonging at least partially toric lateral parts which develop up and to the sides of the triangular surface.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 une brosse comportant une ossature désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 1, raccordée à un moyen de préhension et/ou de fixation, en l'occurrence un manche 2. L'ossature 1 de forme générale triangulaire présente une surface inférieure plane 10 se raccordant à l'arrière, selon la base du triangle, au manche 2. La partie pointue avant 11 de l'ossature forme au moins une partie d'ovoïde, et dans l'exemple représenté c'est une boule prolongeant la surface 10 et prolongeant également des parties toriques latérales 12 qui se développent vers le haut et sur les côtés de la surface triangulaire 10, éventuellement aussi à l'arrière du côté du manche. En variante de réalisation, au lieu de côtés rectilignes du triangle, on peut avoir un triangle curviligne dont les côtés sont des quart d'ellipse. De même le segment arrière peut être une corde, ce qui améliore l'esthétique et augmente la zone plane. Un empoilage 13 de fibres est assuré sur cette ossature y compris à l'arrière si nécessaire, ce qui favorise le nettoyage de plats type poêles par exemple. Dans le cas d'une brosse vaisselle réalisée ainsi, on peut accéder beaucoup plus facilement aux parties rayonnées des récipients à nettoyer. De plus le traitement d'une surface plane étendue est amélioré et réduit l'usure prématurée de la brosse puisque la pression est répartie. Cette forme est également efficace pour le nettoyage de récipients et/ou surfaces à dominante plane ou à grand rayon de courbure, par exemple une brosse à vaisselle pour les assiettes. Une zone plane 15 est prévue aussi à la partie supérieure.There is shown in Figures 1 to 3 a brush having a frame designated as a whole by the reference 1, connected to a gripping and / or fixing means, in this case a handle 2. The frame 1 of general shape triangular has a flat bottom surface 10 connecting at the rear, along the base of the triangle, to the handle 2. The pointed front part 11 of the framework forms at least one part of an ovoid, and in the example shown c ' is a ball extending the surface 10 and also extending the lateral toric parts 12 which develop upwards and on the sides of the triangular surface 10, possibly also behind the side of the handle. In an alternative embodiment, instead of rectilinear sides of the triangle, it is possible to have a curvilinear triangle whose sides are quarter of an ellipse. Likewise, the rear segment can be a cord, which improves the aesthetics and increases the flat area. A stack 13 of fibers is provided on this framework including at the rear if necessary, which promotes the cleaning of dishes like stoves for example. In the case of a dish brush made in this way, one can much easier access to the radiated parts of the containers to be cleaned. In addition, the treatment of an extended flat surface is improved and reduces the premature wear of the brush since the pressure is distributed. This shape is also effective for cleaning containers and / or surfaces with a predominantly flat or large radius of curvature, for example a dish brush for plates. A flat area 15 is also provided at the upper part.
L' empoilage est assuré à l'aide de fibres synthétiques, animales, végétales ou métalliques serties dans l'armature. On peut aussi prévoir des poils en thermoplastique élastomère injecté, clipsés ou surmoulés sur l'armature rigide. De même, à partir d'une même ossature, il est possible de faire évoluer la longueur des poils, ce qui permet d'obtenir des flexibilités différentes avec une même fibre. Dans la zone sphérique d'extrémité, (l'ovoïde ou la boule 11), il est avantageux d'augmenter la fonction nettoyante, en augmentant la raideur ou la densité des poils ou en recouvrant l'éponge d'une partie grattante. On peut aussi envisager une solution mixte utilisant une éponge plate découpée à l'emporte-pièce et collée ou clipsée par endroits sur l'ossature de façon à déborder légèrement de 1' empoilage voisin. Ainsi pour un nettoyage léger, c'est l'éponge qui agit, les poils ne touchant pas la surface. Pour un nettoyage plus accentué, la pression plus forte écrase l'éponge et les poils touchent la surface. La surface de nettoyage se compose ainsi de profils combinés continus. En variante, on peut utiliser aussi une éponge double face clipsée. Dans la variante de réalisation montrée aux figures 4 à 6, l'ossature est formée d'un demi-cône 14 dégressif à partir d'un rayon Ri, au dessus de la surface inférieure 10. Le demi-cône forme un angle α avec cette surface. On retrouve à l'avant une demi-sphère de rayon R2 en continuité avec le demi-cône. Une partie torique de rayon R s'étend tangentiellement aux trois surfaces ci-dessus.The stacking is ensured using synthetic, animal, vegetable or metallic fibers crimped in the frame. It is also possible to provide bristles made of injected elastomeric thermoplastic, clipped or overmolded on the rigid frame. Similarly, from the same frame, it is possible to change the length of the bristles, which makes it possible to obtain different flexibilities with the same fiber. In the spherical end zone (the ovoid or the ball 11), it is advantageous to increase the cleaning function, by increasing the stiffness or density of the bristles or by covering the sponge with a scraping part. One can also consider a mixed solution using a flat sponge cut out with a cookie cutter and glued or clipped in places on the framework so as to slightly overflow from the neighboring stack. So for a light cleaning, it is the sponge which acts, the hairs not touching the surface. For a more accentuated cleaning, the stronger pressure crushes the sponge and the hairs touch the surface. The cleaning surface thus consists of continuous combined profiles. Alternatively, you can also use a double-sided sponge clipped. In the alternative embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the framework is formed by a decreasing half-cone 14 from a radius Ri, above the lower surface 10. The half-cone forms an angle α with this surface. We find at the front a half-sphere of radius R 2 in continuity with the half-cone. A toric portion of radius R extends tangentially to the three above surfaces.
L'ossature présentée aux figures 7 à 9 illustre encore une autre variante de réalisation. La surface inférieure plane 10, triangulaire, est toujours pourvue en partie avant d'une portion de sphère 11, mais une zone plane 15 est prévue en partie supérieure, à la place de demi-cône de l'exemple précédent et en contrebas de la portion de sphère. Cette forme est particulièrement efficace pour le nettoyage de récipient et/ou surfaces à dominante plane ou à grand rayon de courbure, par exemple une brosse à vaisselle pour les assiettes.The framework shown in Figures 7 to 9 illustrates yet another alternative embodiment. The lower surface plane 10, triangular, is always provided in the front part with a portion of sphere 11, but a planar zone 15 is provided in the upper part, in place of the half-cone of the previous example and below the portion of sphere . This shape is particularly effective for cleaning containers and / or surfaces with a predominantly flat or large radius of curvature, for example a dish brush for plates.
Le type d'ossature selon les figures 1 à 3 peut convenir aussi pour une brosse à laver, si la surface inférieure triangulaire 10 est prolongée par une zone 16 à section constante munie aussi du quart de tore latéral, comme le montre la figure 10. On peut ainsi traiter des surfaces plus importantes, majoritairement planes. Si l'on cherche à obtenir une brosse plus précisément appropriée au nettoyage de formes arrondies, par exemple une brosse à vaisselle pour les bols, on pourra privilégier la réalisation montrée précédemment, on faisant en sorte que le plat triangulaire inférieur 10 soit un arc à grand rayon de courbure comme on voit plus précisément à la figure 11.The type of framework according to FIGS. 1 to 3 may also be suitable for a washing brush, if the triangular lower surface 10 is extended by a zone 16 of constant section also provided with the quarter toroidal side, as shown in FIG. 10. It is thus possible to treat larger surfaces, mainly flat. If we seek to obtain a brush more precisely suitable for cleaning rounded shapes, for example a dish brush for bowls, we can favor the embodiment shown above, making sure that the lower triangular dish 10 is an arc large radius of curvature as seen more precisely in Figure 11.
Avec l'ossature illustrée à la figure 7, on peut prévoir des variantes de réalisation montrées aux figures 12 et 13. Dans ce cas, au-dessus de la zone plane 15, on peut clipser une demi-sphère nettoyante de rayon R , laquelle est pourvue de poils 17 (figure 12) . Ou encore la sphère est recouverte d'une couche grattante 18 (figure 13). La liaison des sphères et de l'armature peut être définitive ou temporaire, ce qui permet dans ce cas de disposer de diverses pièces de rechange. L'outil précédemment décrit se prête également à recevoir des textiles rajoutés sur l'ossature, jetables ou non, éventuellement perméables ce qui lui permet d'être utilisé pour l'enduction, de lavage le séchage ou le lustrage de diverses surfaces. Les figures 14 et 15 montrent une ossature 1 équipée, au début du manche 2, d'un système de fixation 19 type accroche-torchon. On peut aussi prévoir à la place un système de fixation à bouton-pression non représenté, ou encore un textile en forme de housse fermée, l'ossature. En variante on pourrait imaginer un textile de type gant maintenu par un élastique ou un tissu élastique.With the framework illustrated in FIG. 7, it is possible to provide alternative embodiments shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. In this case, above the flat zone 15, it is possible to clip a cleaning half-sphere of radius R, which is provided with bristles 17 (Figure 12). Or the sphere is covered with a scraping layer 18 (FIG. 13). The connection of the spheres and the armature can be permanent or temporary, which in this case makes it possible to have various spare parts. The tool described above also lends itself to receiving textiles added to the framework, disposable or not, possibly permeable which allows it to be used for coating, washing, drying or buffing various surfaces. Figures 14 and 15 show a frame 1 equipped, at the start of the handle 2, with a fastening system 19 type hook-cloth. One can also provide instead a fastening system with a snap button not shown, or a textile in the form of a closed cover, the backbone. As a variant, one could imagine a glove type textile held by an elastic or an elastic fabric.
Les outils précédemment décrits peuvent être déclinés avec divers types de manches de formes et dimensions variées. Ainsi on utilise un manche à prise en main directe sur l'ossature, ou à manche décalé - court ou long...The tools previously described can be declined with various types of handles of various shapes and sizes. So we use a handle with direct grip on the frame, or with offset handle - short or long ...
Selon la variante de réalisation montrée à la figure 18 le manche 2 comporte une partie fixe 2a et une partie 2b qui est orientable de 180° par rapport à l'axe de la partie 2a. La poignée 5 du manche peut ainsi occuper les portions hautes ou basses représentées. De cette façon, on optimise les surfaces à traiter en n ' étant plus gêné par le manche.According to the alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 18, the handle 2 comprises a fixed part 2a and a part 2b which is orientable by 180 ° relative to the axis of the part 2a. The handle 5 of the handle can thus occupy the high or low portions shown. In this way, the surfaces to be treated are optimized by no longer being hampered by the handle.
D'autre part, à partir d'un évidement central 3 avantageusement obtenu en perçant 1 ' ossature 1 dans le sens de la longueur (figures 16 et 17), et de trous 4 répartis sur la surface 1 et la partie avant 11 et qui débouchant dans l' évidement, on peut raccorder l'outil à un système d'aspiration ou encore à un système de distribution, continu ou discontinu, de liquide ou de gel. Les trous 4 sont avantageusement certains de ceux qui sont percés directement par la machine sur 1 ' ossature en vue de l' empoilage, et qui ne sont volontairement pas garnis d'une touffe de poils. On évite ainsi de réaliser directement des trous venant du moulage, ce qui est une opération délicate et coûteuse.On the other hand, from a central recess 3 advantageously obtained by piercing the frame 1 lengthwise (Figures 16 and 17), and holes 4 distributed over the surface 1 and the front part 11 and which emerging in the recess, the tool can be connected to a suction system or to a distribution system, continuous or discontinuous, of liquid or gel. The holes 4 are advantageously some of those which are drilled directly by the machine on one frame for the purpose of stacking, and which are deliberately not furnished with a tuft of bristles. This avoids directly making holes from the molding, which is a delicate and expensive operation.
Dans la variante où l'outil est raccordé à un système d'aspiration, on dispose alors d'une brosse aspirante, dont les rangées de poils 17 sont judicieusement placées, et interrompues pour créer de larges espaces compartimentés nécessaires au passage des impuretés, comme on le voit plus précisément à la figure 16. En posant sur l'ossature, au- dessus des poils, un textile de type "bonnette" qui est perméable, on dispose alors d'un outil utilisable en zone propre de type hospitalier. En effet les raccordements sol- murs et murs-plafonds étant de plus en plus rayonnes pour minimiser la stagnation d'impuretés et faciliter leur extraction, la brosse aspirante selon l'invention est particulièrement appropriée, de préférence aux balais conventionnels et aspirateurs plats qui ne permettent pas de traiter simultanément les sols et de remonter dans les rayons .In the variant where the tool is connected to a suction system, there is then a suction brush, the rows of bristles 17 are judiciously placed, and interrupted to create large compartmentalized spaces necessary for the passage of impurities, such as this can be seen more precisely in FIG. 16. By placing on the framework, above the bristles, a textile of the "windscreen" type which is permeable, there is then a tool usable in a clean area of the hospital type. In fact, the floor-wall and wall-ceiling connections being more and more rayon to minimize the stagnation of impurities and facilitate their extraction, the suction brush according to the invention is particularly suitable, preferably with brooms. conventional and flat vacuum cleaners that do not allow simultaneous treatment of floors and to go back up on the shelves.
Dans l'autre variante où l'outil est raccordé à un système de distribution de liquide, une réalisation préférentielle est la brosse douchette montrée à la figure 19. Avantageusement réalisée en une seule pièce, 1 ' évidement central 3 de 1 ' ossature 1 communique avec un manche creux 2 dont l'extrémité est raccordée à un flexible 7 pour l'alimentation en eau. Comme dans la variante aspiration, on dispose dans l'ossature, d'un certain nombre de trous 4 encadrés de touffes de poils 17.In the other variant where the tool is connected to a liquid distribution system, a preferred embodiment is the shower brush shown in FIG. 19. Advantageously made in one piece, the central recess 3 of the frame 1 communicates with a hollow handle 2, the end of which is connected to a hose 7 for the water supply. As in the suction variant, there are a number of holes 4 framed in tufts of bristles 17 in the framework.
On peut prévoir aussi - pour ne pas modifier une douchette existante - de réaliser cette ossature particulière comme un accessoire brossant qui viendrait se clipser ou se fixer sur la pomme de douche.We can also provide - so as not to modify an existing hand shower - to make this particular frame as a brushing accessory which would be clipped or fixed to the shower head.
On voit qu'avec cette ossature de base et ses diverses variantes précédemment décrites, on dispose d'un outil- brossant qui, par homothétie, pourra se décliner en brosse- vaisselle de petite taille ou en brosse W.C. de plus grande taille ou encore en brosse pour nettoyage de grandes surfaces, en brosse aspirante ou en brosse-douchette etc. Les ossatures de ces brosses sont empoilées en fonction des besoins, comme indiqué précédemment. Enfin d'autres variantes de réalisation sont encore envisagées .We see that with this basic framework and its various variants described above, there is a brushing tool which, by homothety, can be declined as a small dishwashing brush or a larger WC brush or even brush for cleaning large areas, as a suction brush or a shower brush etc. The frames of these brushes are stacked as needed, as indicated above. Finally, other variant embodiments are also envisaged.
En ce qui concerne le manche 2 montré à la figure 18, on peut le remplacer par un manche auto-orientable et escamotable illustré par les figures 20 et 21. Le manche 2 est raccordé à l'outil 1 par une articulation 20 autorisant son pivotement d'un angle α de l'ordre de 80°, entre deux butées, une butée basse 21 formée éventuellement par la zone plane 15 et une butée haute 22 constituée par exemple d'un profil particulier réalisé sur la poignée 23 de l'outil. Celui-ci prend naturellement sa position angulaire sur la surface à traiter, les efforts étant transmis par le tourillon 24 entre l'outil 1 et le manche 2. En variante le tourillon et les butées pourraient être modifiées, ainsi que le débattement α selon l'intérêt d'avoir un outil à poignée comme représenté ou un outil à manche. On notera que l' empoilage 17 est réalisé, dans le cas de la figure 20, avec une hauteur variable, - entre hi et h3 - , sur le pourtour de 1 ' outil .Regarding the handle 2 shown in Figure 18, it can be replaced by a self-rotating and retractable handle illustrated in Figures 20 and 21. The handle 2 is connected to the tool 1 by a hinge 20 allowing its pivoting at an angle α of the order of 80 °, between two stops, a low stop 21 possibly formed by the flat area 15 and a high stop 22 made for example of a particular profile produced on the handle 23 of the tool . This naturally takes its angular position on the surface to be treated, the forces being transmitted by the pin 24 between the tool 1 and the handle 2. As a variant, the pin and the stops could be modified, as well as the clearance α according to the advantage of having a tool with a handle as shown or a tool with a handle. It will be noted that the stacking 17 is produced, in the case of FIG. 20, with a variable height, - between hi and h 3 -, around the periphery of the tool.
Pour l'usage de l'outil 1 comme brosse à grandes surfaces, on privilégie des réalisations illustrées aux figures 22 et 23. La liaison entre le manche 2 et l'outil 1 est assurée par une articulation 20 de type crabotage avec verrouillage par un système vis-écrou 25, simplement en moulant en une pièce l'outil brosse et une des deux parties crantées de la liaison.For the use of the tool 1 as a brush with large surfaces, preference is given to the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 22 and 23. The connection between the handle 2 and the tool 1 is ensured by an articulation 20 of the dog clutch type with locking by a screw-nut system 25, simply by molding in one piece the brush tool and one of the two notched parts of the connection.
Dans la variante illustrée aux figures 24 à 26, le maintien en position angulaire de l'outil brossant 1 par rapport au manche 2 est assuré par un plot élastique 26 dont la hauteur X et la souplesse sont compatibles, avec la hauteur d'écrasement Xi de crans d'indexage 27 mieux visibles sur la figure 26, mais aussi avec l'effort souhaité de maintien résiduel. Ce principe permet un indexage plus rapide que la solution par vissage selon les figures 22 et 23.In the variant illustrated in Figures 24 to 26, maintaining the angular position of the brushing tool 1 relative to the handle 2 is provided by an elastic pad 26 whose height X and flexibility are compatible, with the crushing height Xi indexing notches 27 better visible in FIG. 26, but also with the desired residual retention effort. This principle allows faster indexing than the solution by screwing according to Figures 22 and 23.
La réalisation de la figure 32 montre la possibilité d'un indexage de l'outil brosse sur le manche 2. Ce dernier peut tourner autour d'un axe horizontal. L'articulation 20 est pourvue d ' échancrures 32 coopérant avec des petits plots 33 en relief sur l'outil. Deux positions de verrouillage sont ainsi définies, le passage à force d'une position à 1 ' autre étant autorisé par la déformation des plots .The embodiment of FIG. 32 shows the possibility of indexing the brush tool on the handle 2. The latter can rotate around a horizontal axis. The articulation 20 is provided with notches 32 cooperating with small studs 33 in relief on the tool. Two locking positions are thus defined, the passage by force from one position to the other being authorized by the deformation of the studs.
Les figures 27 et 28 illustrent des concepts particuliers de brosses à laver. A la figure 27 l'outil de forme "fer à repasser" dispose d'une poignée 23 rapportée sur l'outil 1 lui-même et plus précisément sur la partie pointue avant (11) de l'ossature. Dans la version de la figure 28, la poignée 23 forme une anse surmoulée avec l'ossature de l'outil.Figures 27 and 28 illustrate particular concepts of washing brushes. In FIG. 27, the "iron" shaped tool has a handle 23 attached to the tool 1 itself and more precisely to the pointed front part (11) of the frame. In the version of Figure 28, the handle 23 forms a molded handle with the frame of the tool.
Aux figures 29 et 30, on voit que l'outil brossant 1 est clipsé sur une autre brosse rectangulaire 28 à laquelle est fixée la poignée 23. En variante de réalisation, on peut encore envisager une brosse notamment une brosse WC à diffuseur de liquide comme le montre la figure 31. A cet effet le manche 2 est creusé d'un conduit 29 débouchant vers la partie arrière et orienté vers un goupillon 30, rapporté sur l'outil, sous le manche ce qui permet dans le même geste que l'action de brossage, d'accéder au rebord interne de la cuvette.In FIGS. 29 and 30, it can be seen that the brushing tool 1 is clipped onto another rectangular brush 28 to which the handle 23 is fixed. In an alternative embodiment, it is also possible to envisage a brush, in particular a WC brush with liquid diffuser as shown in FIG. 31. To this end, the handle 2 is hollowed out of a conduit 29 opening out towards the rear part and oriented towards a brush 30 , attached to the tool, under the handle which allows in the same gesture as the brushing action, to access the internal rim of the bowl.
Avantageusement, une lingette 31 peut coiffer le goupillon. Advantageously, a wipe 31 can cap the brush.
