A mounting for a pipe cleaner around which mounting a twisted chenille wire piece (12) set with textile thread or fiber pieces can be wound, said mounting consisting of a cylindrical supporting body (11) with at least one spiral groove (17a; 17b) located in the surface area thereof and having at least one end a means (15a; 15b; 18) for securing the chenille wire piece against contortion, characterized in that the supporting body (11) has a portion (11a) with a larger diameter (D) and an adjoining portion (11b) with a smaller diameter (d), the means for securing against contortion is formed by a radial or axial bore (15a; 15b) for receiving one end of the chenille wire piece (12) and by a catch (18) disposed in the area of the end face of the supporting body, and that the surface areas of the supporting body (11) are provided with knurls or the like.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Pfeifenreiniger, welcher aus einem an sich bekannten und üblicherweise zum Reinigen der Rauchkanäle in Pfeifen verwendeten Chenilledrahtstück, welches mit quer zu zwei verdrillten Drähten angeordneten Textilfaden- bzw. -faserstücken besetzt ist, und einer dieses abstützenden Halterung, an welcher das Chenilledrahtstück befestigt ist, besteht.The invention relates to a pipe cleaner which consists of a piece of chenille wire which is known per se and is usually used for cleaning the smoke ducts in pipes and which is covered with textile thread or fiber pieces arranged transversely to two twisted wires, and a holder which supports this and on which the chenille wire piece is attached.

Pfeifen haben bekanntlich für den Durchgang des Rauchs enge Kanäle, welche mit den vorgenannten Chenilledrahtstücken relativ gut zu reinigen sind. Pfeifen besitzen aber bekanntlich neben den engen Rauchkanälen auch Bohrungen mit größerem Durchmesser, die einerseits zur Aufnahme von Filtern und andererseits zur Aufnahme des Pfeifenmundstücks dienen. Um diese größeren Bohrungen reinigen zu können, sind bereits Pfeifenreiniger bekanntgeworden (DE-GM 79 23 918), welche gleichfalls aus einem Chenilledrahtstück bestehen, jedoch sind bei diesen die Textilfaden- bzw. -faserstücke, die in den verdrillten Chenilledraht eingebunden sind, wegen der relativ großen Durchmesser der Bohrungen wesentlich länger als diejenigen der Pfeifenreiniger für die engeren Rauchkanäle in den Pfeifen. Der Nachteil derartiger bekannter Pfeifenreiniger besteht darin, daß infolge ihrer Länge und des ungenügenden Andrucks an die zu reinigende Fläche die Reinigungswirkung relativ schlecht ist. Man hat zwar die schlechte Wirkung dadurch zu verbessern gesucht, daß man den Textilfaserstücken stärkere und steifere Kunststoffaserstücke beigemischt _hat, um die weicheren Textilfaserstücke zu stützen, jedoch hat dies keine nennenswerte Verbesserung erbracht. Dies findet seine Bestätigung darin, daß Pfeifenreiniger der letzterwähnten Art in der Praxis nicht befriedigten.As is well known, pipes have narrow channels for the passage of smoke, which can be cleaned relatively well with the aforementioned Chenille wire pieces. In addition to the narrow smoke channels, pipes are also known to have bores with a larger diameter, which serve on the one hand to hold filters and on the other hand to hold the pipe mouthpiece. In order to be able to clean these larger bores, pipe cleaners have already become known (DE-GM 79 23 918), which also consist of a piece of chenille wire, but the textile thread or fiber pieces that are incorporated into the twisted chenille wire are because of this relatively large diameter of the holes much longer than those of the pipe cleaners for the narrower smoke channels in the pipes. The disadvantage of such known pipe cleaners is that due to their length and the insufficient pressure on the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning effect is relatively poor. While attempts have been made to improve the poor effect by adding stronger and stiffer plastic fiber pieces to the textile fiber pieces in order to support the softer textile fiber pieces, this has not brought about any appreciable improvement. This is confirmed by the fact that pipe cleaners of the latter type are unsatisfactory in practice.

Es sind auch bereits Pfeifenreiniger bekanntgeworden, die aus einer an einem Handgriff befestigten klingenartigen Halterung bestehen, an welcher das Reinigungsmaterial in Form eines saugfähigen Fadens oder eines Chenilledrahtstücks befestigt wird, wobei dieses dann entlang der klingenartigen Halterung von dieser abgestützt wird (GB-PS 608 608, US-PS 2 487 676, US-PS 2 388 016, US-PS 1 246 710). Bei allen diesen Pfeifenreinigern handelt es sich ausschließlich um solche zur Reinigung der relativ feinen Rauchkanäle mit sehr kleinem Durchmesser, nicht jedoch um solche zur Reinigung der Bohrungen mit größerem Durchmesser, für die der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Pfeifenreiniger ausschließlich Anwendung finden soll.Pipe cleaners have also become known which consist of a blade-like holder attached to a handle, to which the cleaning material is attached in the form of an absorbent thread or a piece of Chenille wire, which is then supported along the blade-like holder by the latter (GB-PS 608 608 , U.S. Patent 2,487,676, U.S. Patent 2,388,016, U.S. Patent 1,246,710). All of these pipe cleaners are exclusively for cleaning the relatively fine smoke channels with a very small diameter, but not for cleaning the bores with a larger diameter, for which the pipe cleaner designed according to the invention is to be used exclusively.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Pfeifenreiniger zu schaffen, mit dessen Hilfe es möglich ist, die größeren Bohrungen einer Pfeife in einfacher Weise mühelos reinigen zu können, um die sich dort ansammelnden Ablagerungen weitgehend entfernen zu können, und zwar in vollkommenerer und einfacherer Weise, als dies bisher möglich war.The invention has for its object to provide a pipe cleaner, with the aid of which it is possible to effortlessly clean the larger bores of a pipe in a simple manner in order to largely remove the deposits accumulating there, in a more perfect and simple manner than was previously possible.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, den Pfeifenreiniger der in Betracht kommenden Art in der Weise auszubilden, daß die Halterung aus einem zylindrischen Stützkörper besteht, in dessen Mantelfläche sich wenigstens eine schraubenlinienförmig verlaufende Nut befindet, auf welchem von einem Ende her das Chenilledrahtstück schraubenlinienförmig derart aufgewickelt ist, daß der Chenilledraht teilweise in der Nut liegt.To solve this problem, it is proposed to design the pipe cleaner of the type in question in such a way that the holder consists of a cylindrical support body, in the lateral surface of which there is at least one helically extending groove, on which the chenille wire piece is wound in a helical manner from one end is that the chenille wire is partially in the groove.

Bei diesem Pfeifenreiniger ist das Chenilledrahtstück an einem Ende des zylindrischen Stützkörpers befestigt und von dort aus zunächst über dessen Stirnfläche und anschließend schraubenlinienförmig über dessen Mantelfläche gebogen. Um die Lage des Chenilledrahtstücks auf dem Stützkörper zu sichern, besitzt dieser in seiner Mantelfläche wenigstens eine schraubenlinienförmig verlaufende Nut, die an einer der Stirnflächen beginnt und welche der teilweisen Aufnahme des schraubenlinienförmig um den Stützkörper herumgebogenen Chenilledrahtstücks dient, sowie weiterhin eine Bohrung im Bereich wenigstens des einen Endes des Stützkörpers, die dazu dient, das eine Ende des Chenilledrahtstücks aufzunehmen, um es zu befestigen.In this pipe cleaner, the Chenille wire piece is attached to one end of the cylindrical support body and from there it is first bent over its end face and then helically over its outer surface. In order to secure the position of the chenille wire piece on the support body, this has at least one helical groove in its lateral surface, which begins at one of the end faces and which serves to partially accommodate the chenille wire piece bent helically around the support body, as well as a bore in the area of at least the one end of the support body which serves to receive one end of the chenille wire piece in order to fix it.

Die Steigung dieser Nut bzw. der Nuten kann anfangs klein sein, um dann zunehmend größer zu werden, damit das Chenilledrahtstück am äußeren Ende dichter gewickelt ist, um dadurch eine gute Reinigung der Bohrungen an deren inneren Enden zu bewirken. Um den Chenilledraht an den Enden des zylindrischen Stützkörpers besser und sicherer festzuhalten, befindet sich im Bereich der Stirnfläche vorzugsweise ein kleiner Haken oder eine Rast oder dgl.The slope of this groove or of the grooves can be small at first, but then become increasingly larger, so that the chenille wire piece is wound more tightly at the outer end, in order thereby to bring about a good cleaning of the bores at their inner ends. In order to hold the chenille wire better and more securely at the ends of the cylindrical support body, there is preferably a small hook or a catch or the like in the area of the end face.

Da Pfeifen bekanntlich größere Bohrungen in zwei unterschiedlichen Durchmessern aufweisen, besitzt der zylindrische Stützkörper des erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Pfeifenreinigers vorzugsweise an seinem einen Ende einen Teil mit einem größeren Durchmesser und an seinem anderen Ende einen Teil mit einem kleineren Durchmesser.Since pipes are known to have larger bores in two different diameters, the cylindrical support body of the pipe cleaner designed according to the invention preferably has a part with a larger diameter at one end and a part with a smaller diameter at its other end.

Um die Handhabung, insbesondere das Drehen, des Pfeifenreinigers zu erleichtern, sind die Mantelflächen des Stützkörpers geriffelt, um ihn so leichter in die Bohrungen hineinschieben zu können.In order to facilitate the handling, in particular the turning, of the pipe cleaner, the lateral surfaces of the support body are corrugated, so that it can be pushed more easily into the bores.

Ein derart ausgebildeter Pfeifenreiniger gewährleistet eine gute Reinigung der Wandflächen größerer Bohrungen, weil die kurzen Faser- bzw. Fadenstücke des Chenilledrahtstücks, welches relativ dicht an der Wand der Bohrung durch den zylindrischen Stützkörper abgestützt ist, eine bessere Reinigung gewährleisten, und zwar eine gleich gute wie die der engen Rauchkanäle in den Pfeifen.Such a pipe cleaner ensures a good cleaning of the wall surfaces of larger holes, because the short fiber or thread pieces of the Chenille wire piece, which is supported relatively close to the wall of the hole by the cylindrical support body, ensure better cleaning, and an equally good as that of the narrow smoke channels in the pipes.

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 der Zeichnung ist der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Pfeifenreiniger anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels dargestellt, welches nachstehend im einzelnen näher beschrieben ist. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht des neuartigen Pfeifenreinigers;
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht des zylindrischen Stützkörpers für den Pfeifenreiniger nach Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 eine Aufsicht auf die Stirnseite des Stützkörpers in einer weiteren Ausführungsform.
In Figures 1 to 3 of the drawing, the pipe cleaner designed according to the invention is shown using a preferred embodiment, which is described in more detail below. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the novel pipe cleaner.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the cylindrical support body for the pipe cleaner according to Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the end face of the support body in a further embodiment.

Der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Pfeifenreiniger besteht, wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, aus dem zylindrischen Stützkörper 11 und dem an diesem befestigten, mit Textilfaden- bzw. -faserstücken besetzten, verdrillten Chenilledrahtstück 12, welches am Stützkörper 11 im Bereich der Stirnseite 13 befestigt und von dort über die Stirnfläche 13 hinweg und anschließend schraubenlinienförmig um den Stützkörper 11 herumgewickelt ist. Der Stützkörper 11 besteht aus einem Teil 11a mit größerem Durchmesser D und einem Teil 11b mit kleinerem Durchmesser d. In der Nähe der Stirnflächen 13 und 14 befindet sich je eine Bohrung 15a bzw. 15b für die Befestigung des einen Endes 16 des Chenilledrahtstücks 12. In der mit einer Riffelung versehenen Mantelfläche des Stützkörpers 11 befinden sich schraubenlinienförmig angeordnete Nuten 17a bzw. 17b, in welche das schraubenlinienförmig um den Stützkörper 11 gewickelte Chenilledrahtstück 12 teilweise hineinragt, so daß es bei axialen Bewegungen beim Reinigen der Bohrungen im Pfeifenkopf bzw. im Pfeifenmundstück festgelegt ist und sich nicht verschieben kann.The pipe cleaner designed according to the invention consists, as can be seen in FIG. 1, of the cylindrical support body 11 and the twisted chenille wire piece 12 fastened to it and covered with textile thread or fiber pieces, which is attached to the support body 11 in the region of the end face 13 and from there is wound over the end face 13 and then helically around the support body 11. The support body 11 consists of a part 11a with a larger diameter D and a part 11b with a smaller diameter d. In the vicinity of the end faces 13 and 14 there is a hole 15a and 15b for fastening one end 16 of the Chenille wire piece 12. In the circumferential surface of the support body 11, which is provided with corrugations, there are helically arranged grooves 17a and 17b, into which the Chenille wire piece 12 wound helically around the supporting body 11 partially protrudes so that it is fixed during axial movements when cleaning the bores in the pipe head or in the pipe mouthpiece and cannot shift.

Wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, befindet sich am äußeren Ende des Stützkörpers 11' vorzugsweise ein Haken 18, um welchen herum das in die Bohrung 15' eingesetzte Ende des Chenilledrahtstücks verläuft, bevor es auf die zylindrische Mantelfläche des Stützkörpers 11' aufgewickelt wird.As is apparent from FIG. 3, there is preferably a hook 18 at the outer end of the support body 11 ', around which the end of the chenille wire piece inserted into the bore 15' runs before it is wound onto the cylindrical outer surface of the support body 11 '.
