Brush, especially for cleaning toilet bowls

The present innovation relates to a brush, in particular for cleaning toilet bowls, which consists of a handle with a handle at one end and a plurality of bristles at the other end.

To ensure that toilet bowls are not breeding grounds for spores and bacteria, there are a number of toilet cleaners on the market whose active chemicals are acidic salts, such as hydrogen sulfates, or surfactants. Acidic wastewater, however, impairs the biological stage in sewage treatment plants, while surfactants are difficult to break down microbiologically.

Because of the disadvantages described, only mechanical means are suitable for keeping toilet bowls free of dirt, which can be breeding grounds for spores and bacteria. A large proportion of the known brushes are only suitable for cleaning the parts of the toilet bowl that are visible from the outside. In addition, a brush suitable for cleaning toilet bowls is known from the published patent application DE 43 45 118 A1, which consists of a brush handle with a handle at one end and a bristle area at the other end. A first part of the bristle area on the handle is arranged straight, while another part of the bristle area is bent, with both parts forming an acute angle.

The purpose of the present innovation is to provide a brush which is designed in such a way that toilet bowls can be completely cleaned with it, in particular the horizontally arranged drain pipe in the lower area of the toilet bowl which forms part of the odor trap.

The problem is solved according to the innovation in that the handle consists of an upper part and a lower part, whereby the upper part is connected to the handle and whereby the lower part is provided with the plurality of bristles at its end facing away from the upper part; that the upper part has a recess; that the lower part is provided with a pin; and that the lower region of the lower part consists of flexible material.

The brush according to the innovation can also optionally be designed in such a way that:

a) the recess is machined centrally into the upper part;

b) the recess is machined acentrically into the upper part;

c) a thread is cut into the recess;

d) the pin is inserted centrally into the lower part;

e) the pin is inserted acentrically into the lower part;

f) the pin is threaded.

The advantage of the new brush is that the lower part that carries the bristles can be replaced with a new lower part if the bristles become worn or very dirty, while the upper part and handle can still be used.

In the attached drawing, an embodiment of the innovation is shown schematically and in
Section shown.
Showing:

Figure 1 the overall view of a brush

Figure 2 shows the two separate parts of the brush.

The brush consists of a shaft ( 1 ) with a handle ( 2 ) at the upper end. The shaft ( 1 ) consists of an upper part ( 3 ) connected to the handle ( 2 ) and

a lower part (4), the lower area of which is facing away from the upper part and is provided with a plurality of bristles (5)

A recess (6) is incorporated into the upper part (3) of the handle (1) at the end facing away from the handle (2), into which a thread is cut.

A threaded pin {7) is inserted into the end of the lower part (4) facing away from the bristles (5).

The pin (7) and the recess (6) allow the lower part (4) and the upper part (3) to be connected to or separated from one another.

The upper part ( 8 ) of the lower part ( 4 ) is made of flexible material.

Claims (7)

Protection claims: 1) Brush, in particular for cleaning toilet bowls, consisting of a handle, at one end of which a handle is arranged and at the other end of which a plurality of bristles are arranged, characterized in that the handle (1) consists of an upper part (3) and a lower part (4), the upper part (3) being connected to the handle (2) and the lower part (4) being provided with the plurality of bristles (5) at its end facing away from the upper part (3); that the upper part (3) has a recess (6); that the lower part (4) is provided with a pin (7); and that the upper region (8) of the lower part (4) is made of flexurally elastic material. 2) Brush according to claim 1, characterized in that the recess (6) is machined centrally into the upper part (3). 3) Brush according to claim 1, characterized in that the recess (6) is machined acentrically into the upper part (3). 4) Brush according to claim 2 or 3, characterized in that a thread is cut into the recess (6). 5) Brush according to at least one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the pin (7) is inserted centrally into the lower part (4). 6) Brush according to at least one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the pin (7) is inserted acentrically into the lower part (4). 7) Brush according to claim 5 or 6, characterized in that the pin (7) is provided with a thread.
