Description

The invention relates to a toilet brush with a self-cleaning for the handle handle.

After using the toilet, use the toilet brush - with unwashed hands. At the next toilet the same procedure. Changing users of the toilet increase the discomfort and germs on the handle of the toilet brush.

That this corresponds to the fact, everyone should be clear. It is customary to desire to wash one's hands afterwards. The quest for cleanliness has always been of great importance.

If the toilet brush remains untreated, germs and bacteria can accumulate on it. Coli bacteria z. B. can survive up to 7 days outside the body and are transmitted by mere touch. They lead to diarrhea etc.

This situation causes rather discomfort when the toilet is used by several strangers, such as in the office, at school, the disco, the restaurant, in the sports club, etc.

The cleaning of the stick handle of the toilet brush can be done by washing or wiping with a disinfectant, but is usually done only at certain intervals.

The object of the invention is to allow the cleaning of the handle handle the toilet brush with each use.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The toilet brush according to the invention, which has at least a toilet brush head and a handle associated with this, is characterized in that the handle handle with a disinfectant solution is arranged, the container opposite the toilet brush head has a valve with at least one outlet for the disinfectant solution, the valve an actuating head and the emerging disinfectant solution can be applied to the handle handle.

In this way it is achieved that by simply operating the actuating head disinfectant solution reaches the handle handle and disinfected it.

With an approximate length of the handle of 300 mm and an inner diameter of about 15 mm, a container can be arranged with a capacity of about 50 ml disinfectant solution. This makes 250-300 disinfections possible.

In an advantageous embodiment, the actuating head comprises the end of the handle handle, is displaceable relative to the handle handle and connected to the valve. A short press on the actuator head releases the disinfectant solution.

In a preferred embodiment, the actuating head is curved on the inside, so that the disinfectant solution emerging from the at least one outlet opening emerges from the actuating head distributed over the circumference of the handle.

Furthermore, an embodiment provides that the actuating head has in the region of the displaceability relative to the handle handle in handle handle longitudinal direction extending grooves through which the disinfectant solution can emerge directly on the handle.

The actuating knob is preferably arranged spring-loaded, such that the spring force of the spring increases when the valve is actuated. Thus, the actuating head is always returned to its original position after pressing.

As a container for the disinfectant solution, a pressure vessel can be used or the container further has a pump valve on the pump when moving the actuating head in the direction of toilet brush head air is pumped into the container. Through this air, the disinfectant solution is then pushed out of the container.

The container is preferably arranged interchangeably in the handle handle and fixable. Further, the actuator head is detachably connected to the valve.

In order to operate the operating head easily with one hand, the toilet brush head is preferably mounted in a receptacle which ensures a substantially vertical position of the handle handle.

The invention will be explained with reference to the drawing.

The 1 shows a toilet brush with a toilet brush head 1 and a handle 2 , The toilet brush head 1 is in a recording 9 stored, which is a substantially vertical position of the handle handle 2 guaranteed.

In the handle of the handle 2 is a container 4 arranged with disinfectant solution. The container 4 faces opposite of the toilet brush head 1 a valve 5 with several outlet openings 6 for the disinfectant solution. The valve 5 is by an actuating head 3 operable so that disinfecting solution can escape and settle on the handle 2 distributed.

The actuating head 3 includes the end of the handle 2 , is opposite the handle 2 slidable and with the valve 5 connected.

The actuating head 3 is formed curved inside, leaving the outlets 6 escaping disinfectant solution splashes against the wall of the curvature, so distributed, in the direction of the circumference of the handle 2 is derived and between the actuator head 3 and the handle of the handle 2 on the handle 2 distributing exit. The exit of the disinfecting solution is facilitated by the fact that the actuating head 3 inside in the region of the displacement relative to the handle 2 in the handle longitudinal direction extending grooves 7 having.

It is further shown that the actuating head 3 is arranged spring loaded, such that the spring force of the spring 8th when operating the valve 5 grows, and non-actuation of the actuator head to its original position by the force of the spring 8th is moved back. This closes the valve 5 ,

In the illustrated embodiment, the container 4 with the disinfectant solution a pressure vessel.

But there are also all other mechanisms can be used, which provide for a liquid transport from a container as a result of pressure on a valve, z. B. working on the spray bottle principle or the Parfumzerstäuberprinzip by using a pumping valve air into the container 4 is pumpable.

The container 4 should be interchangeable in the handle 2 arranged and in the handle 2 be fixable. The fixing can z. B. by a threaded connection 10 in an area between the container 4 and the inner wall of the handle 2 be made. Furthermore, the actuator head should 3 detachable with the valve 5 be connected.

With the proposed self-cleaning of the handle 2 a toilet brush is closed another hygiene gap.
