Definitions
- the present invention relates to tea towel hooks or tea towel holders, used to hang or hang tea towels and hand towels.
- tea towel holders are simple hooks and the tea towel, in order to be suspended, must be provided with a hanging loop.
- both hands are necessary to seek the corner of the cloth carrying the strap, to spread it and to hang the cloth. This repeated and tiresome manipulation causes an annoying loss of time.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to avoid all of these drawbacks. It allows to hang a cloth by simple contact. It suffices, in fact, to put, with one hand, the edge or any other part of the cloth on the tiny device, object of the invention, to obtain instant hooking of the cloth without damaging its texture and without leaving any trace of attachment. The hanging cloth is released, also with one hand, by simply lifting it from the device.
- the device according to the invention comprises a bundle of rigid and short bristles, natural or synthetic, such as “Nylon”, glass fibers for example, encased in a tight manner in a capsule or in a ferrule, in the form of a brush. tiny, or one or more tufts of rigid and short bristles implanted directly in a plastic or other support, in the shape of a tiny brush, during its manufacture.
- a horizontal cut, made through the bundle or tufts there is an imperceptible difference in the height of the points, which instantly hang and firmly hold the part of the cloth placed on it, without however being able to penetrate or pierce the fabric, being blocked by the compact structure of the bundle or tufts.
- the fixing of the device to the wall or elsewhere can be carried out by any known means. It can be mounted isolated or grouped on a bar or on another support. Mounted in pairs, the device can support heavier parts, such as bath towels, bathrobes or the like.
- the device comprises a rod 1 with its capsule 2, in which the bundle 3 is crimped, forming a tiny brush, while FIGS. 2 and 3 show a tiny brush 4, made of plastic, in which tufts are implanted 5.
- a small plate 6 provided with a support 7 having a hole 8, in which the rod 1 is inserted in a removable manner and on the back a self-adhesive adhesive as a means of fixing.
- the suction cup 9 with its ring 10 represents another support for the device 4.
- FIG. 4 shows a bar 11 carrying three devices according to the invention.
- natural or synthetic fibers are used in the form of one or more blunt sticks, producing the same effects for retaining a cloth or a towel, without piercing or damaging their texture.
- the use of sticks makes it possible to eliminate capsules, ferrules and other metallic supports which can be altered by the humidity of the kitchens.
Description
- La présente invention concerne les accroche-torchons ou les porte-torchons, permettant d'accrocher ou de suspendre des torchons et des essuie-mains.
- Les porte-torchons habituels sont des crochets simples et le torchon, pour pouvoir être suspendu, doit être muni d'une ganse de suspension. En outre, les deux mains sont nécessaires pour chercher le coin du torchon portant la ganse, pour écarter celle-ci et pour suspendre le torchon. Cette manipulation répétée et lassante occasionne une perte de temps contrariante.
- On connaît bien des accroche-torchons qui maintiennent les torchons à l'aide de pinces à ressorts. D'autres dispositifs existent dans lesquels un bout du torchon est coincé dans une entaille en X, pratiquée dans un capuchon en caoutchouc ou en matière plastique souple. Or, de tels dispositifs sont encombrants, non hygiénique car difficiles à nettoyer, inesthétiques et leur action élastique décroît avec l'usage.
- Le dispositif suivant l'invention permet d'éviter tous ces inconvénients. Il permet d'accrocher un torchon par simple contact. Il suffit, en effet, de poser, d'une seule main, le bord ou n'importe quelle autre partie du torchon sur le minuscule dispositif, objet de l'invention, pour obtenir un accrochage instantané du torchon et ceci sans endommager sa texture et sans y laisser une trace quelconque d'accrochage. Le torchon accroché est libéré, également d'une seule main, en le soulevant simplement du dispositif.
- Le dispositif suivant l'invention, comporte un faisceau de poils rigides et courts, naturels ou synthétiques, tels que «Nylon», fibres de verre par exemple, enchassés d'une façon serrée dans une capsule ou dans une virole, en forme de pinceau minuscule, ou une ou plusieurs touffes de poils rigides et courts implantées directement dans un support en matière plastique ou autre, en forme de brosse minuscule, lors de sa fabrication. Par une coupe horizontale, effectuée à travers le faisceau ou les touffes, se produit une différence imperceptible dans la hauteur des pointes, qui accrochent instantanément et maintiennent fermement la partie du torchon posée dessus, sans toutefois pouvoir pénétrer ou transpercer le tissu, étant bloquée par la structure compacte du faisceau ou des touffes. Un effet comparable aux pointes du lit connu d'un fakir, lesquelles supportent bien son corps, sans égra- tignier sa peau.
- La fixation du dispositif au mur ou ailleurs peut êtré effectuée par n'importe quel moyen connu. Il peut être monté isolé ou groupé sur une barrette ou sur un autre support. Monté en couple, le dispositif peut supporter des pièces plus lourdes, telles que des serviettes de bain, peignoirs de bain ou analogues.
- Le dessin annexé illustre, à titre indicatif, non restrictif, plusieurs réalisations pratiques de l'invention dans lequel:
- - la figure 1 représente le dispositif selon l'invention conformé en pinceau
- - les figures 2 et 3 représentent le dispositif selon l'invention conformé en brosse
- - la figure 4 représente une barrette portant trois dispositifs selon l'invention.
- Tel qu'il est représenté figure 1, le dispositif comporte une tige 1 avec sa capsule 2, dans laquelle est serti le faisceau 3, formant un pinceau minuscule, tandis que les figures 2 et 3 montrent une brosse minuscule 4, en matière plastique, dans laquelle sont implantées des touffes 5.
- Comme supports et moyens de fixation de ces dispositifs, sont montrés, à titre d'exemples, une petite plaquette 6, munie d'un support 7 ayant un trou 8, dans lequel est insérée d'une façon amovible la tige 1 et au dos un adhésif autocollant comme moyen de fixation. La ventouse 9 avec son anneau 10 représente un autre support pour le dispositif 4.
- La figure 4 montre une barrette 11 portant trois dispositif suivant l'invention.
- Dans une autre réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention, des fibres naturelles ou synthétiques sont utilisées en forme d'un ou plusieurs bâtonnets épointés, produisant les mêmes effets pour retenir un torchon ou un essuie-mains, sans transpercer ou endommager leur texture. L'emploi de bâtonnets permet d'éliminer les capsules, viroles et autres supports métalliques pouvant être altérés par l'humidité des cuisines.
