Massage and cleaning brush

The invention relates to a massage and cleaning brush in the form of a glove, one surface of which is designed as a brush surface is.

Brushes with natural bristles or with artificial bristles in numerous designs are known for cleaning and massage purposes. Among other things, glove-like brushes with or without a thumb hole are also known, which are used in the manner of washing gloves will. For the substances that cause the massage, e.g. semi-rigid synthetic foams or Lofa, the dried one, can be used Find the framework of a certain type of cucumber.

Finally, it is also known to manufacture bristle goods in such a way that that on a non-rigid bristle carrier plastic threads are sewn in so that largely stiff, upright loops are formed in themselves, which are used to form the bristles their free vertices are cut open.

The main object of the invention is to provide a hand-fitted To create a brush for cleaning and / or massage purposes of an appropriate design, with which bt.i more extensive Gentle on the skin, achieve a high cleaning or massage effect and which can be used in a variety of ways, in particular for body care, sports massage and cosmetics.

According to the invention, the brush surface consists of a pliable, resilient one Pad with which the plastic threads Bristles are connected.

The said brush surface is preferably made from a plastic film formed, which is impermeable to water.

According to a further feature of the invention are with the base or the film plastic threads in the form of upright, the The loops forming the bristles are connected by sewing. The loops can be cut open to produce individual wire-shaped bristles be. It is more advantageous, however, with regard to a gentle treatment of the skin, if the grained loops only are partially cut open so that both loop-shaped bristles and cut bristles are distributed over the entire brush surface Loop bristles are present.

According to a further feature of the invention are in the middle range the bristles are arranged closer to one another on the brush surface than in the end areas of the brush surface. It is recommended that

sew a large number of parallel rows of loops running lengthways across the glove into the film forming the bristle carrier, the lateral distance between the rows of loops in the middle area of the film is smaller than in the edge areas thereof.

In the case of the cleaning and massage brush according to the invention, the bristles are thus applied to an elastic or resilient base which adapts closely to any body shape, whereby a high cleaning and massage effect is achieved. The impermeability of the carrier film also has the advantage that soap or soap foam or other agents used for cleaning, cosmetics or massage that are rubbed on the body cannot penetrate the glove through the brush surface and disappear here more or less unused. The fineness of the plastic threads forming the bristles also results in a high massage effect without triggering the risk or the feeling of scratching. This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the individual bristle threads are slightly curved or bent at the upper, cut-open ends and accordingly mainly act on the skin with these curved ends instead of the pointed cutting surfaces. The hardness of the brush can be adjusted practically as desired by the strength of the plastic threads forming the bristles.

There is the option of using both sides of the glove as a brush surface to train, whereby it is advisable to measure the hardness of the

Adjust the bristles on the two glove surfaces differently. On the other hand, according to the invention, the arrangement can also be made so that only one of the two surfaces of the Glove is designed as a brush surface, while the other surface of the glove is made of a wearable material, in particular Terrycloth or the like. consists.

In order to connect the two glove surfaces firmly and permanently at the edges, it is advisable to glue the surfaces together and also to be sewn together.

In the drawing is an embodiment of the invention Brush shown. Show it:

Fig. 1 shows a glove-like brush according to the invention in plan view on the brush surface;

FIG. 2 shows the brush according to FIG. 1 in a plan view of the rear hand s chuhfläehe;

3 shows a section through the brush surface.

The massage and cleaning brush shown has the shape of a glove (with or without a thumb hole), which is cut from two Surface parts 1 and 2, which are connected to each other at the two longitudinal edges 3 and 3 ', and on the one transverse side has an opening 4 for the insertion of the hand.

One of these two glove surfaces, namely surface 2,

consists of a thin, elastic and water-impermeable plastic film, which is expediently made of transparent film and which forms the actual bristle carrier. The other surface 1, however, consists of an absorbent material, preferably one Terrycloth fabric such as that used for washcloths. Instead of this However, this surface can also consist of other materials, e.g. also of a plastic film with or without bristles.

With the film forming the brush surface 2, thin plastic threads are sewn in such a way that they are parallel to the outside of the film Form rows of loops 5, which run longitudinally over the brush surface and their spacing in the middle area of the brush surface is smaller than in the edge areas. For example, the distance between the rows of loops 5 is 2-5 mm in the middle area and in the outer area 6-10 mm.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the upright loops 5 ^{1 are} partially cut open at their upper apex ^{ends, so that further bristles 5 '1 are} formed between the individual loop bristles, the free ends of which are slightly curved to the side according to the original loop shape.

The glove surfaces 1 and 2 are glued together at the edges and with a border 7 placed around the edges made of a textile fabric or the like. sewn. At the opposite of the hand opening 4 The transverse side is the one made of the absorbent terry cloth

standing surface 1 provided with an arcuate cutout 8, on which the two surfaces 1 and 2 are not connected to one another.

The plastic threads used for the loops or the bristles (e.g. nylon threads) expediently have a thickness which is approximately equal to 1/2 to 1/3 of the thickness of the film.

The brush described can be used for wet and dry cleaning will.
