Abstract

The brush has a handle (1), an articulation (2) and a brush head (3) with Z-shaped asymmetrical extension extended from an initial state. The head comprises three rigid plates that are connected among each other by flexible hinges so as to allow folding or unfolding the brush head according to three possible sizes while raising and lowering the head from the handle. The handle is fixed at center of an external plate of the rigid plates so as to support asymmetrical deployment of the head while raising and lowering the handle.

Description

1. Domaine technique1. Technical field

[0001] L’invention concerne l’amélioration des brosses classiques pour le nettoyage des sols. L’invention consiste en une brosse à taille facilement réglable qui rend aisément accessible certaines surfaces situées sous des meubles sans se baisser ni déplacer les meubles. The invention relates to the improvement of conventional brushes for cleaning floors. The invention consists of an easily adjustable sized brush which makes easily accessible some surfaces under furniture without bending or moving the furniture.

2. Description de l’invention2. Description of the invention

2.1 Etat de la technique2.1 State of the art

[0002] Actuellement pour nettoyer sous des meubles (ex: piano, lit, fauteuil, etc.), il est parfois nécessaire de les soulever, déplacer ou alors de se baisser à hauteur du sol pour nettoyer avec une brosse classique. Celles-ci sont soit trop épaisses, soit la distance entre le manche de la brosse et l’extrémité de la tête de brosse est trop faible, obligeant la personne à se courber pour nettoyer la totalité de la surface sous le meuble. Currently to clean under furniture (eg piano, bed, chair, etc.), it is sometimes necessary to lift, move or so to bend at ground level to clean with a conventional brush. These are either too thick, or the distance between the handle of the brush and the end of the brush head is too low, forcing the person to bend to clean the entire surface under the furniture.

[0003] Certaines évolutions de la brosse classique ont prévu des systèmes mécaniques permettant une extension de la tête de brosse. Ces inventions présentent l’inconvénient d’une part, de ne pas utiliser la totalité de la surface de la brosse sous le meuble à cause de l’extension symétrique par rapport au manche et, d’autre part, l’extension de la tête de brosse nécessite une opération fastidieuse qui doit se faire manuellement. Some developments in the conventional brush have provided mechanical systems for extending the brush head. These inventions have the disadvantage on the one hand, not to use the entire surface of the brush under the furniture because of the symmetrical extension relative to the handle and, on the other hand, the extension of the head brushing requires a tedious operation that must be done manually.

2.2 Inconvénients2.2 Disadvantages

[0004] Certaines personnes ne peuvent pas se baisser facilement ou encore déplacer des meubles dû à des problèmes de santé (ex: maux de dos, douleurs des articulations etc.). De plus, répéter ces actions pour nettoyer sous tous les meubles prend beaucoup de temps. Some people can not stoop easily or move furniture due to health problems (eg back pain, joint pain etc.). Moreover, repeating these actions to clean under all the furniture takes a lot of time.

[0005] Certains brevets prévoient une extension de la tête de brosse qui peut être réglée par l’utilisateur. Cependant, elles ont toutes besoin d’être ajustées et certaines bloquées manuellement par l’utilisateur. Ce réglage manuel de la tête de brosse impose à l’utilisateur de porter la brosse pour que la tête de brosse soit à hauteur de main ou alors de s’agenouiller pour atteindre la tête de brosse avec les mains. Ces systèmes sont généralement compliqués et nécessitent une certaine agilité des doigts. A titre d’exemple, les brevets US 1 555 630 A, US 1 689 109 A et US 2 921 327 A décrivent un mécanisme de déploiement vertical de la tête de brosse et symétrique par rapport au manche. Some patents provide an extension of the brush head that can be adjusted by the user. However, they all need to be adjusted and some blocked manually by the user. This manual adjustment of the brush head requires the user to wear the brush so that the brush head is at hand height or to kneel to reach the brush head with the hands. These systems are usually complicated and require some finger agility. For example, US Patents 1,555,630 A, US 1,689,109 A and US 2,921,327 A describe a mechanism for vertical deployment of the brush head and symmetrical with respect to the handle.

[0006] Le dispositif selon US 3 050 762 A permet le déploiement de la tête de brosse de façon partiellement asymétrique par le déplacement d’une moitié de la tête de brosse. Ce système est plus adapté mais plus compliqué et prend beaucoup de temps à régler. Le dispositif selon US 2005 044 648 A1 possède également un déploiement symétrique mais de façon horizontale. Le rabattement horizontal commandé grâce au pivotement du manche de brosse a l’avantage que l’utilisateur n’a pas besoin de s’agenouiller pour commander le déploiement de la tête de brosse et aussi de ne pas changer l’épaisseur de la brosse. Par contre, le mécanisme pour y parvenir nécessite une certaine épaisseur et une certaine rigidité. Cette rigidité peut devenir problématique pendant le nettoyage du sol et plus particulièrement lorsque l’on veut faire pivoter la tête de brosse. Sans blocage et sans articulation le pivotement du manche ne fait pas tourner la tête de brosse mais entraine le mécanisme de déploiement ou de rétraction (selon le sens de rotation du manche) de la tête de brosse. The device according to US 3,050,762 A allows the deployment of the brush head partially asymmetric manner by moving a half of the brush head. This system is more suitable but more complicated and takes a lot of time to adjust. The device according to US 2005 044 648 A1 also has a symmetrical deployment but horizontally. The horizontal folding controlled by the pivoting of the brush handle has the advantage that the user does not need to kneel to control the deployment of the brush head and also not to change the thickness of the brush. On the other hand, the mechanism to achieve this requires a certain thickness and rigidity. This rigidity can become problematic during the cleaning of the floor and more particularly when one wants to rotate the brush head. Without locking and without articulation the pivoting of the handle does not turn the brush head but causes the deployment mechanism or retraction (in the direction of rotation of the handle) of the brush head.

2.3 Problème technique2.3 Technical problem

[0007] Le but de la présente invention est de développer une brosse facilement extensible pour permettre à l’utilisateur de nettoyer le sol sous certains meubles dès que l’espace entre le meuble et le sol dépasse un centimètre sans que l’utilisateur n’ait besoin à se baisser. The object of the present invention is to develop an easily expandable brush to allow the user to clean the floor under certain furniture as soon as the space between the furniture and the floor exceeds one centimeter without the user does not needs to bend down.

2.4 Solution2.4 Solution

[0008] Les caractéristiques de l’invention décrites dans la revendication 1 permettent de résoudre les problèmes techniques. The features of the invention described in claim 1 can solve technical problems.

[0009] Les avantages résident dans les faits que l’utilisateur n’a plus besoin de se baisser ou de déplacer les meubles pour nettoyer le sol sous les meubles et de s’agenouiller pour régler la taille de la tête de brosse. En évitant de se baisser, de soulever ou de déplacer les meubles et en évitant les réglages manuels, l’utilisateur gagne du temps pour la réalisation des tâches ménagères et économise sa santé. De plus, cette invention rend accessible le nettoyage des sols sous les meubles aux personnes qui ont des problèmes de santé, notamment les personnes âgées. The advantages are in fact that the user does not need to bend or move the furniture to clean the floor under the furniture and kneel to adjust the size of the brush head. By avoiding bending down, lifting or moving furniture and avoiding manual adjustments, the user saves time for household chores and saves his health. In addition, this invention makes floor cleaning under furniture accessible to people with health problems, including the elderly.

2.6 Réalisations de l’invention2.6 Achievements of the invention

[0011] La fig. 1 montre une brosse dotée d’un manche (1) et d’une articulation (2) standard ainsi qu’une tête (3) qui peut être déployée de manière asymétrique. La matière de la tête de brosse (fig. 7 ) est en polymère injecté et renforcé par des fibres au niveau des charnières souples (4) pour avoir une meilleure résistance à l’usure. FIG. 1 shows a brush having a handle (1) and a hinge (2) standard and a head (3) which can be deployed asymmetrically. The material of the brush head (Fig. 7) is injected and fiber-reinforced polymer at the flexible hinges (4) for better wear resistance.

[0012] Les charnières souples sont réalisées par rétrécissement ponctuel de l’épaisseur de la tête de brosse. Cette brosse prévoit la solidarisation (ou la désolidarisation) du manche et de la tête de brosse par clipsage (ou déclipsage). The flexible hinges are made by punctual shrinkage of the thickness of the brush head. This brush provides for securing (or disengaging) the handle and the brush head by clipping (or unclipping).

[0013] La tête de brosse (3) est composée de trois plaques rigides reliées entre elles par lesdites charnières souples (4) pour permettre de plier ou déplier la tête de brosse. The brush head (3) is composed of three rigid plates interconnected by said flexible hinges (4) to allow folding or unfolding the brush head.

[0014] Le manche (1) est fixé au centre d’une des plaques externes des trois plaques rigides pour permettre le déploiement asymétrique de la tête de brosse (3) en levant et baissant le manche. The handle (1) is fixed in the center of one of the outer plates of the three rigid plates to allow the asymmetrical deployment of the brush head (3) by raising and lowering the handle.
