Descriptionί

The invention relates to a brush for cleaning glasses with a brush handle at the end of at least one Brush head is attached with transverse bristles, the axial length of which corresponds approximately to the depth of the glass.

Brushes for cleaning glasses are known in many forms. When cleaning the hand, the Brush head with transverse bristles pressed into the inside of the glass using the handle and one subjected to rotating motion. The disadvantage of these brushes is the fact that the glasses with the brush can only be cleaned from the inside, but not from the outside. On the outer edge, however, is often closed removing impurities such as lipstick or the like. These impurities contained on the outer edge of the glass are not removed by the conventional brushes, which are only inserted into the interior of the glass. Sensitive glasses with However, very thin walls or glasses with a gold rim should generally not be cleaned in dishwashers as they can suffer damage as a result. In such glasses, therefore, impurities must be on the outer edge of the glass using additional means such as cleaning cloths or by brushing the outside of the glass can be removed with the brush.

In catering establishments, beer glasses or the like are cleaned by means of standing or rotating Brushing made, whereby the glass is turned up on the brushes. Such brushes are also available in pairs arranged side by side so that the outside of the glasses is also subjected to cleaning. These cleaning equipment however, they are not suitable for sensitive glasses and especially for household use.

The invention is based on the object / to propose a brush of the characterizing type which especially for cleaning delicate thin Glasses or glasses with Göldi'änd ö. Ägl. suitable is, d * hi glaziers that are not easily in one Dishwasher can be cleaned.

Based on a cleaning brush of the type mentioned in the introduction, this object is achieved in that two Brush heads arranged in parallel next to one another are provided, the bristles of which at least partially interlock and that the brush heads are of different lengths.

The invention is based on the principle of the brushes used in restaurants, the principle of brushes arranged next to one another is transferred to a greatly simplified hand brush. This results in an extremely simple but practical cleaning device, especially for cleaning glasses that are not used for Cleaning in a dishwasher are suitable. Of course, other glasses can also be used with the Clean hand brush according to the invention.

According to the invention, the bristles of the two brush heads arranged next to one another interlock so that at the same time both the inside and the outside of the glass can be cleaned properly.

The measures listed in the subclaims are an advantageous development and improvement of the im Main claim specified hand brush possible.

According to the embodiment of the invention according to dependent claim 2, the brush heads are designed so that the longer

Brush head has a larger bristle diameter for cleaning the inside of the glass and the shorter brush head has a smaller bristle diameter for cleaning the outside of the glass.

According to the embodiment of the invention according to dependent claim 3, the core wire for fastening the brush heads is as Continuous wire formed up to the handle. Let by bending the core wire in a U-shape twice the brush heads are arranged parallel to each other, making the production extremely simple Hand brush according to the invention is achieved.

An advantageous and expedient embodiment of the The invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. The figure shows a schematic representation of the hand brush according to the invention.

The hand brush (10) shown in the figure for cleaning glasses consists of a handle (11) and two parallel juxtaposed brush heads (12, 13). The longer brush head (12) has a length of 1-, on, which is about the length of the frequently cleaned Glasses corresponds. This length 1-, can be about the depth of the inside of a wine glass.

The length 1 corresponds to the shorter brush head (13) about half the length of length 1-, the longer brush head (12).

The distance s between those arranged in parallel next to one another Brush heads (12, 13) are dimensioned in such a way that the laterally protruding bristles of the two brush heads (12, 13) overlap each other. Through this it is

ensures that both the inside of the glass through the longer brush head (12) and at the same time the outer area of the glass through the shorter brush head (13) is cleaned.

According to the invention, the diameter D. of the bristles of the longer brush head (12) must be the same size or larger than the bristle diameter D ^ of the shorter brush head K (13). With a larger bristle diameter D.

Cleaning effect of the inside of the glass increased depending on the type of glass will.

The core wire (14) for fastening the brush heads (12, 13) is bent in a U-shape at the leg distance s, so that the Corrmen brush heads (12, 13) parallel to each other. The further course of the core wire (14) to Connection of the same with the handle (11) takes place in such a way that this is in the upper region (15) of the shorter U-shaped Leg of the core wire is in turn bent U-shaped and directly next to the shorter U-shaped Leg (16) of the shorter brush head (13) is guided. The core wire is then bent again in the area (17) of the handle (11) so that the handle comes to lie below the U-shaped configuration of the core wire to form the brush heads (12, 13).

The lower part of the U-shaped formation of the core wire (14) is extended by a length 1, which has no bristles. This ensures that the longer Brush head (12) can be inserted deep enough into the respective glass.

In addition, the core wire (14) is based on the handle (11) to the tip of the longer brush head (12) made in one piece. By appropriate
