Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil de lavage et de récurage a usage domestique.The present invention relates to a washing and scouring apparatus for household use.

Il permet d'effectuer d'une façon durable des interventions énergiques de lavage, en particulier de récurage pour des ustensiles dont les adhésions carbonisées ne peuvent pas être otées par un simple savonnage.It makes it possible to carry out in a lasting way energetic interventions of washing, in particular scrubbing for utensils whose charred adhesions cannot be removed by a simple soaping.

On connaît un certain nombre de dispositifs manuels de lavage pour la vaisselle, les vitres ou les pare-brises ou carrosserie de voitures. Il s'agit de manches munis à une extrémité d'un tampon spongieux ou d'une brosse à poils plus ou moins durs. En général, le manche est plein et l'instrument doit être trempé dans une lessive liquide ou un détergent adéquat.A number of manual washing devices are known for dishes, windows or windshields or car bodies. These are sleeves provided at one end with a sponge pad or a brush with more or less hard bristles. In general, the handle is full and the instrument should be soaked in liquid detergent or a suitable detergent.

On connait aussi des dispositifs dont le manche est creux et capable de recevoir un liquide de lessive ou un détergent par un goulot situé à l'opposé du dispositif ae lavage, le goulot étant muni d'un bouchon ou d'une capsule bouchante. Le liquide contenu dans le manche vient par un orifice prévu à cet effet s'épanouir dans la partie spongieuse ou empoilée pour permettre le lavage ou le récurage.There are also known devices whose handle is hollow and capable of receiving a washing liquid or a detergent by a neck located opposite the washing device, the neck being provided with a stopper or a cap. The liquid contained in the handle comes through an orifice provided for this purpose to flourish in the spongy or stacked part to allow washing or scouring.

Le brevet FR-A-2507464 décrit un dispositif à manche creux encliqueté après glissement guidé sur une plaque de plastique rectangulaire munie d'une éponge dans sa partie inférieure. Une fois l'encliquetage réalisé, le liquide contenu dans le manche pénètre dans l'éponge grâce à deux petits trous coaxiaux réalisés l'un au bout du manche, l'autre à travers la plaque supportant l'éponge, les deux plans percés se trouvant l'un contre l'autre après montage.The patent FR-A-2507464 describes a device with a hollow handle snapped in after guided sliding on a rectangular plastic plate provided with a sponge in its lower part. Once the snap is made, the liquid contained in the handle enters the sponge through two small coaxial holes made one at the end of the handle, the other through the plate supporting the sponge, the two planes drilled are finding one against the other after mounting.

A l'usage cet appareil laisse apparaître un certain nombre d'imperfections.

  • 1°- L'éponge étant collée sur la plaque la supportant, il y a obligatoirement arrachement rapide de l'éponge lors d'interventions énergiques de récurage.
  • 2° - La nature quelle qu'elle soit de la colle utilisée est toujours incompatible avec un ou plusieurs lavages, les colles n'étant pas des produits chimiquement neutres.
  • 3° - Par le fait même que l'éponge est collée par l'une de ses grandes faces sur la plaque qui devient solidaire du manche par encliquetage, seule l'autre face de l'éponge reste opérante, ce qui revient à dire qu'il n'est pas possible dans le produit ci-dessus considéré d'utiliser par le dispositif proposé les deux faces d'une même éponge végétale ou synthétique, (l'une abrasive, l'autre douce).
In use this device reveals a number of imperfections.
  • 1 ° - The sponge being stuck on the plate supporting it, there is obligatorily quick tearing off of the sponge during energetic scrubbing interventions.
  • 2 ° - The nature whatever it is of the glue used is always incompatible with one or more washes, the adhesives are not chemically neutral products.
  • 3 ° - By the very fact that the sponge is glued by one of its large faces to the plate which becomes integral with the handle by snap-fastening, only the other face of the sponge remains operative, which amounts to saying that 'It is not possible in the above product considered to use by the proposed device the two sides of the same vegetable or synthetic sponge, (one abrasive, the other soft).

Pour pallier ces inconvénients, on a réalisé selon l'invention un appareil de lavage et de récurage comprenant un manche creux bouché à une extrémité et comportant à l'autre extrémité deux harpons en dents de scie opposées, symétriques l'un de l'autre par rapport à une canule communiquant avec le manche, lesdits harpons et la canule étant destinés à pénétrer dans le flanc d'une éponge à face abrasive.To overcome these drawbacks, a washing and scouring apparatus has been produced according to the invention comprising a hollow handle plugged at one end and comprising at the other end two opposite sawtooth harpoons, symmetrical to one another. with respect to a cannula communicating with the handle, said harpoons and the cannula being intended to penetrate the side of a sponge with an abrasive face.

Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, l'éponge est fendue perpendiculairement à ses grandes faces et surtout perpendiculairement aux harpons afin de conforter leur tenue dans l'éponge par élasticité des fentes.According to a characteristic of the invention, the sponge is split perpendicular to its large faces and especially perpendicular to the harpoons in order to consolidate their hold in the sponge by elasticity of the slots.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la canule pénètre jusqu'au milieu de l'éponge pour y écouler d'une façon continue le détergent contenu dans le manche.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cannula penetrates to the middle of the sponge to continuously discharge the detergent contained in the handle.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention,la forme du manche de l'appareil est telle. qu'au repos en station horizontale le liquide qu'il contient ne coule plus dans t'éponge.According to another characteristic of the invention, the shape of the handle of the device is such. that at rest in a horizontal station the liquid it contains no longer flows into the sponge.

L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de dessins représentant seulement un mode d'exécution.The invention is set out below in more detail with the aid of drawings representing only one embodiment.

Conformément à l'invention, l'appareil de lavage et récurage à usage domestique représenté comprend un manche creux 1 muni d'un bouchon 2 en sa partie postérieure.According to the invention, the washing and scouring appliance for domestic use shown comprises a hollow handle 1 provided with a plug 2 in its rear part.

La partie antérieure possède deux harpons 3 en dents de scie opposées, symétriques par rapport à une canule 4 par laquelle le liquide détergent contenu dans le manche peut s'écouler.The front part has two opposite sawtooth harpoons 3, symmetrical with respect to a cannula 4 through which the detergent liquid contained in the handle can flow.

Chacun des harpons 3 présente des dents 5 dans un plan horizontal, c'est à dire dans le plan du manche quand il repose horizontalement, les deux harpons 3 étant au même niveau.Each of the harpoons 3 has teeth 5 in a horizontal plane, that is to say in the plane of the handle when it rests horizontally, the two harpoons 3 being at the same level.

Les centres des bases des deux harpons 3 et de la canule 4 sont sur une même ligne droite.The centers of the bases of the two harpoons 3 and of the cannula 4 are on the same straight line.

Chacun des harpons 3 possède un profil effilé permettant une souplesse de l'extrémité.Each of the harpoons 3 has a tapered profile allowing flexibility of the end.

Les harpons 3 et la canule 4 sont solidaires du manche creux 1, soit qu'ils sont rapportés par vissage ou encliquetage à la base du manche, soit qu'ils sont réalisés en même temps que le manche, par exemple dans une matière plastique (polypropylène) et par le procédé connu du soufflage.The harpoons 3 and the cannula 4 are integral with the hollow handle 1, either because they are attached by screwing or snap-fastening to the base of the handle, or because they are produced at the same time as the handle, for example in a plastic material ( polypropylene) and by the known method of blowing.

Les deux harpons 3 et la canule 4 sont destinés à être enfoncés en force dans le flanc d'une éponge 6 présentant une face abrasive 7 et par l'un des quatre chants.The two harpoons 3 and the cannula 4 are intended to be forced into the side of a sponge 6 having an abrasive face 7 and by one of the four edges.

En fait pour que l'arrimage des harpons dans leflanc de l'éponge soit efficace et qu'il n'y ait nulle possibilité de retrait des harpons une fois enfoncés jusqu'à la garde du manche, il convient que l'éponge soit préalablement percée de fentes planes 8 et 9 perpendiculaires au plan de l'éponge.In fact for the stowage of the harpoons in the side of the sponge to be effective and that there is no possibility of withdrawal of the harpoons once pressed down to the hilt of the handle, the sponge should be previously pierced with flat slots 8 and 9 perpendicular to the plane of the sponge.

Les fentes 8 destinées à recevoir les deux harpons 3 ont la longueur (m) et la largeur (n) de ces mêmes harpons.The slots 8 intended to receive the two harpoons 3 have the length (m) and the width (n) of these same harpoons.

La fente 9 destinée à recevoir la canule 4 a la longueur (p) de la canule et une largeur (o) correspondant à une demi circonférence de la canule à sa base.The slot 9 intended to receive the cannula 4 has the length (p) of the cannula and a width (o) corresponding to a half circumference of the cannula at its base.

Les dimensions de l'éponge sont évidemment fonction de celles du manche 1 et des harpons 3.The dimensions of the sponge are obviously a function of those of the handle 1 and the harpoons 3.

Pour une meilleure rigidité du système une fois les harpons 3 et la canule 4 à l'intérieur de l'éponge 6, il convient que l'éponge 6, si elle est de forme rectangulaire, dépasse d'au moins la moitié de la valeur de (n) à gauche du harpon gauche et à droite du harpon droit, et qu'elle dépasse d'au moins la valeur (n) à la ligne de sommet des harpons.For a better rigidity of the system once the harpoons 3 and the cannula 4 inside the sponge 6, the sponge 6, if it is rectangular, should exceed at least half the value from (n) to the left of the left harpoon and to the right of the right harpoon, and that it exceeds at least the value (n) at the top line of the harpoons.

Par exemple pour le cas précis de fabrication d'un ins - trument à laver et récurer la vaisselle, il conviendrait de partir d'une éponge dont la largeur corresponde approximativement au diamètre d'un verre à vin (verre à pied au commerce) et la longueur approximativement à la profondeur d'un verre à eau (verre tronconique sans pied du commerce).For example, for the specific case of making a dishwashing and scouring instrument, it would be advisable to start with a sponge whose width corresponds approximately to the diameter of a wine glass (stalk glass at the store) and the length approximately to the depth of a water glass (frustoconical glass without a commercial stand).

La largeur (n) d'un harpon 3 est alors voisine du quart de celle de l'éponge 6.The width (n) of a harpoon 3 is then close to a quarter of that of the sponge 6.

Les harpons 3 pénètrent perpendiculairement aux fentes et provoquent une déchirure, mais l'élasticité des fentes comprime le corps spongieux au niveau des dents 5 des harpons d'ou la rigidité de l'arrimage.The harpoons 3 penetrate perpendicular to the slots and cause a tear, but the elasticity of the slots compresses the spongy body at the level of the teeth 5 of the harpoons, hence the rigidity of the stowage.

L'épaisseur de l'éponge 6 avec face abrasive 7 doit être égale ou supérieure à deux fois la largeur des fentes 8 et 9.The thickness of the sponge 6 with abrasive face 7 must be equal to or greater than twice the width of the slots 8 and 9.

En outre, les fentes 8 et 9 ne doivent pas entamer la partie abrasive, mais se situer au moins deux millimètres au-dessous, c'est à dire être prises dans la partie spongieuse pour la meilleure réaction d'élasticité au niveau des harpons 3.In addition, the slots 8 and 9 must not enter the abrasive part, but be located at least two millimeters below, that is to say be taken in the spongy part for the best elasticity reaction at the level of the harpoons 3 .

La longueur de la canule 4 est telle que le point d'écoulement du liquide détergent est approximativement au milieu de l'éponge.The length of the cannula 4 is such that the pour point of the detergent liquid is approximately in the middle of the sponge.

La longueur de la canule 4 est environ les deux tiers de celle d'un harpon 3.The length of the cannula 4 is approximately two thirds of that of a harpoon 3.

Chaque harpon 3 possède deux arêtes 10 qui en augmentent la rigidité mais convergent assez loin de l'extrémité, de telle façon que celle-ci puisse conserver de la souplesse pendant l'utilisation une fois l'éponge abrasive posée. Ensuite elles facilitent l'introduction des harpons 3 dans l'éponge 6, grâce à leurs effilements.Each harpoon 3 has two edges 10 which increase its rigidity but converge far enough from the end, so that the latter can retain flexibility during use once the abrasive sponge is placed. Then they facilitate the introduction of the harpoons 3 into the sponge 6, thanks to their tapering.

Le manche 1 est muni d'un bouchon fileté 2 permettant un bouchage hermétique.The handle 1 is provided with a threaded plug 2 allowing a hermetic closure.

Comme l'illustre la figure 3, la forme globale du manche 1 est réalisée de façon que l'instrument soit en équilibre stable, l'éponge 6 ne touchant pas le plan horizontal 11, avec ou sans liquide. La partie abrasive peut alors se trouver du côté du plan horizontal 11 ou de l'autre côté.As illustrated in FIG. 3, the overall shape of the handle 1 is produced so that the instrument is in stable equilibrium, the sponge 6 not touching the horizontal plane 11, with or without liquid. The abrasive part can then be on the side of the horizontal plane 11 or on the other side.

Il est évident que si la fonction récurage est prépondérante, il convient que la partie abrasive 7 soit évidemment du côté du plan horizontal 11.It is obvious that if the scouring function is predominant, the abrasive part 7 should obviously be on the side of the horizontal plane 11.

Si la fonction lavage doux est principale, la partie spongieuse 6, doit se trouver du côté du plan horizontal 11.If the gentle washing function is main, the sponge part 6 must be on the side of the horizontal plane 11.

Néanmoins compte tenu de la forme ergonomique appropriée du manche,l'appareil est utilisable efficacement en lavage ou en récurage quelle que soit la position de l'abrasif.However, given the appropriate ergonomic shape of the handle, the device can be used effectively in washing or scouring regardless of the position of the abrasive.

Le repère 12 figure 1 désigne un indicateur de niveau. Le liquide détergent doit remplir le manche creux 1 disposé verticalement jusqu'à l'indicateur de niveau. Ainsi, une fois l'appareil rempli et mis sur le plan horizontal 11, aucun écoulement de liquide ne peut avoir lieu dans l'éponge 6.The reference 12 in Figure 1 indicates a level indicator. The detergent liquid must fill the hollow handle 1 arranged vertically up to the level indicator. Thus, once the apparatus is filled and placed on the horizontal plane 11, no flow of liquid can take place in the sponge 6.

Il est en effet important qu'en position horizontale c'est à dire, hors d'utilisation, le détergent reste dans le manche 1 et ne coule pas dans l'éponge 6.It is indeed important that in the horizontal position, that is to say, out of use, the detergent remains in the handle 1 and does not flow into the sponge 6.

Bien que l'appareil s'applique principalement au lavage et au récurage de la vaisselle,rien n'empêche de réaliser des appareils dont les dimensions et les caractéristiques permettent à partir du même principe, de laver ou récurer toutes surfaces lisses de toutes origines, planes, concaves ou convexes.Although the device mainly applies to washing and scouring dishes, nothing prevents the realization of devices whose dimensions and characteristics allow from the same principle, to wash or scour all smooth surfaces of all origins, flat, concave or convex.
