Broom with scrapers offset between the bristles:

The invention relates to a broom in which scrapers are inserted between the bristles in different widths and, depending on the application, in different m/m thicknesses.

Brooms have always been part of life in human history. It all began with the twig broom. Basically, not much has changed, apart from the fact that synthetic or other artificial materials are used instead of natural products.

Only recently has a different variant been offered to the public, deviating from the centuries-old tradition.

This variant, a type of dry foam, may be appropriate in living areas, but is probably not the appropriate solution for larger waste and especially in outdoor areas, such as on sidewalks, etc.

Therefore, the object of the invention is to create a device that can ensure the best possible cleaning work both indoors and outdoors.

According to the invention, this can be done as follows.

A broom usually consists of five rows of bristles.

Two outer and three inner. The inner rows of bristles can then be arranged offset from the specified brushes.

Width, thickness and arrangement can be optional.

For example, it can be an advantage that scrapers in street brooms have a higher strength than in residential areas.

What should always be common is that the scrapers in question have the same abrasion resistance as the other bristles.

It is generally known that all indoor and outdoor brooms have relatively light bristles that fold over after frequent sweeping and the rubbish remains lying there. This means that the sweeping work has to be repeated over and over again.

However, if scrapers are installed, they can do the rough work and the remaining bristles are left only to do the fine work.

This saves time and, due to the reduced back and forth, also manpower.

There is certainly no need for additional financial expenditure.

If brooms are primarily or exclusively intended for outdoor use, scrapers can be provided in a narrower formation or wider and reinforced. This means that specific variants can be offered for the respective application.

Whether the scraper and bristles are built into a wooden or plastic tine has nothing to do with the invention.

In both cases it is only necessary that, in deviation from the previous processing, appropriate conditions must be provided for the installation of scrapers.

It shows:

schematically shown is a broom with scrapers alternately arranged between the bristles.

The broom back 10 has bristles 11 which are continuously covered along the outer edges.

Only in the inner rows of bristles 13 can the scrapers be provided offset.

This arrangement results in the alternating

always results in a double occupation in the outer areas of the W bristles, so that always on one side depending on the

whichever side the broom is guided on, a clean side is occupied twice.

If the broom is to be used for extremely bulky rubbish, it can be advantageous to provide full-side scrapers in between.

Claims (3)
