Abstract

Electric doormat for washing soles. For equipment capable of sanitizing with liquid (water and / or detergents) and motor-driven brushes without the user having to remove footwear for washing by simply climbing onto the main platform of the equipment. The present equipment, object of the present patent, contains three stages in the cleaning: a first stage composed by a mat 1 of natural or synthetic bristles responsible for the previous removal of the "thick" of the dirt. The second stage, consisting of a case 2 containing liquid and brushes 4 driven by a motor 12, is responsible for the brushing of the soles whose activation is automatic when stepping on platform 7. The third stage consists of felts 3 for drying the soles.

Description

“ELECTRIC FOOTBALL WASHER” This patent - Utility Model - is intended for electrical equipment capable of sanitizing, by washing with water and / or cleaning product, footwear welders in general before entering certain enclosures without that it is necessary to remove the shoes simply by climbing on the main platform of the equipment. Rugs and mats are known for dry brushing the soles requiring some effort from the user with respect to the movement of the feet against these objects. The fact is that not always all dirt can be removed dry.

In order to optimize the cleaning of footwear soles in general, the present equipment was developed, object of the present patent, containing three stages in cleaning: A first step composed by a mat of natural or synthetic bristles responsible for the previous removal of the “thick”. ”From the dirt. The second stage, consisting of a box containing liquid and brushes, is responsible for brushing the soles whose activation is automatic when stepping on the platform. The third stage consists of felt for drying the soles.

In accordance with the above description, in the drawing fig. 1 annex, said perspective product where the first sanitization step is represented by the mat 1. The second and main sanitization step is carried out in box 2, which may be made of high strength plastic, cast aluminum or equivalent containing (4x) brushes 4 inwardly interlocked and driven by a motor 12 via (2x) worm threads 13 reversing each other over brushes 4 on the brushes 4 perforated platform 7 which is fitted with (4x) securing pins 8, containing (4x) springs for displacing the platform and respective (4x) snap locking rings 10. In the center of box 2 is the on / off switch (11) and can be in any other position in box 2. Said box 2 contains water inlet nozzle 5 and its leveling float whose (thin ) Hose can be connected a tap for automatic maintenance of water level. The box 2 contains, at the diagonally opposite end, a tap dirt drain 6 and a leveling thief 15 for possible excess liquid outflow, always maintaining the proper level. In drawing fig 3, we can see spacer rings 14, used to raise the height of the brushes 4, which will be offered in various thicknesses to determine the useful height of the bristles that will cross the platform 7 making the cleaning and also compensate for the natural wear of the bristles. . The third step, consisting of felt drying soles 3, can also be seen in fig 1.

It stands out: The necessity and importance of the mechanical resistance of the product in general; The need for rigidity of the platform 7 due to the huge amount of holes contained in it as it must support the full weight of the user; The need for several platform support points 7 well distributed in box 2, among them: The entire inner side of box 2 according to section A-A drawing fig 2; center of box 2 housing the power button 11 as shown in section B-B of drawing fig 2; the axes of the brushes as shown in drawing 3 and others that can be strategically added as needed by the physical testing of the first prototypes; The drilling of the platform 7 should be optimized so as not to allow children to stick their fingers in the gears and at the same time promote maximum cleaning of the sole and to ensure the longest life of the bristle brushes 4, including the holes of said platform 7 must have its edges rounded for this purpose; The motor 12 must have its housing sealed against the liquid or be housed in a watertight compartment always with sealing gasket on the shaft; The inner bottom of the housing 2 has a slope to facilitate the natural purge of small impurities from the inlet nozzle 5 (highest point) toward drain 6 (lowest point); The outer bottom of the box 2 should be covered with a rubber blade to prevent slipping and unpleasant noises;

There should be a support flap on the outer side skirting of the box 2 as shown in section A-A of drawing fig 2 by improving the support lever by inadvertently stepping on the side of the box 2 preventing it from turning;

A “panic button” is provided over the engine shutting down the power when the engine is started. This button is not drawn. Motor 12 must have sufficient horsepower to move the entire set of gear brush 4 and brush the soles;

It is further suggested that each time motor_12 'is started, it will rotate in the opposite direction or alternate motions. This will prevent the bristles from becoming bent and twisted to the same side, and also, if any “pebbles” fall there at the next switch on, as the gears will rotate to the opposite side, this unwanted object will fall.

It is also suggested that the gear teeth, which are positioned on the outer face of the brushes 4, be made of sufficiently soft material to avoid "grinding" noise whenever dirt falls there.

A possible junction between parts 1, 2 and 3 may be the dovetail hitch. It is highly recommended that, near the equipment mentioned, there is a “hand run or point that can be held” so as not to lose balance while using the equipment because sometimes it is necessary to change the foot position so that the whole area of the sole is reached by the bristles that go through the holes of the platform 7 only. Of course, this “hand run” is not part of this product.

Finally, it is planned to provide some spare parts of the product such as doormat 1, felts 3, spacer rings 14 and even cleaning product to be added to the water and help in the hygiene and conservation of the soles.
