Device for cleaning records and pick-up needles

The innovation relates to a device for cleaning records and pick-up needles, consisting of from a cuboid-like wiper body with one integrated into the handle part and removable from it Brush element with needle and cleaning lining as well as a tub-like, the wiper body in the area - ^ of the cleaning coating all around the lower part.

For proper record playback, it is necessary, among other things, to check the groove area of the record and to clean the stylus thoroughly beforehand. This cleaning is often carried out with wiper elements, which, in addition to a cleaning pad made of velvet or the like, contain a brush element integrated in the handle part, with which it is possible to clean both the stylus and the cleaning coating. The use

- 2 - VPA _{78 G 9 5 0} such cleaning devices depends to a large extent on their ease of use.

The present innovation is therefore based on the task to create a cleaning device for records that is quick and easy to use enables.

According to the innovation, this is achieved in a device of the type described in more detail in such a way that the brush element embedded flush in the handle part of the wiper body, the wiper body and the lower part, respectively have several grip edges distributed over the entire surface.

The innovation and its further developments specified in the subclaims are described below using an in The embodiment illustrated in the drawing explained in more detail.

The device shown in a perspective exploded view consists in detail of a tub-like Lower part 1, a wiper body 2 and a brush element 3. The brush element 3, which is designed in the form of a rod is releasably attached to the handle part 4 of the wiper body 2 and on the one hand has an attached to the underside Cleaning brush 5 and, on the other hand, an upwardly directed one attached to one end of the brush element Needle brush 6 on. The entire brush element 3 is designed in such a way that it fits into a corresponding recess 7 can immerse in the handle part 4 of the wiper body 2 and is flush with its surface. At the A cleaning pad 8 made of velvet or the like is provided on the underside of the cuboid handle part 4, the one on the outer surface of two parallel ones

Half-roller body 9, 10 is attached. This double roller shape has the consequence that when the wiper body swings about its longitudinal axis during the wiping process, one half-roller body 9 first collects a first amount of dust and pulls it up when it is pivoted upwards, and then the same thing happens again with the half-roller body 10. This double wiping effect enables both faster and more thorough cleaning to be carried out. The dust collected by the cleaning pad 8 is finally wiped off with the aid of the cleaning brush 5 provided on the brush element 3. After this cleaning process, the wiper body 2 is placed on the trough-like lower part 1, the cleaning covering 8 being completely immersed and thus itself being protected from possible contamination. For easy handling of the entire device, the brush element 3 embedded flush in the handle part 4 of the wiper body 2 I, the wiper body 2 and the lower part 1 are each provided with several handle edges distributed over the entire surface. These grip edges are expediently implemented by a rib profile, the individual ribs of which preferably run parallel and with the same mutual spacing from one another. The individual ribs, each having a rectangular cross section, run transversely to the longitudinal axis of the wiper body, because it improves the grip of the | entire device and especially the removal! and pushing back the brush element in advantageous |

Way is facilitated. I.
