Definitions
- the invention relates to a hand brush with a handle part designed as a storage for a cleaning liquid and with a bristle carrier that has a central outlet opening in the region of the bristles for the cleaning liquid, which is provided with a plate-shaped closing element that is adjustable against spring force and that is on the inside of the bristle carrier is prestressed against the outlet channel opening and carries a pin-like projection which projects through the outlet channel at a distance from the wall thereof and whose protruding part from the outlet channel into the bristle region has a shorter length than the bristles both in their rest position and under normal working pressure loads .
- a hand brush with the above features is known from US-A-2 091 369.
- the dispenser brush described there is designed as a non-refillable disposable brush that is thrown away when its liquid container is empty. It is not designed like a refillable storage brush for a long life.
- the closing member sealing the outlet channel is loaded by a spring which acts on it and is supported on the bristle holder of the brush, which in the long term cannot guarantee a secure liquid-tight closure in the idle state.
- the spring which is supported only on one side, does not result in any surface pressure over the entire diameter range of the closing element, so that even the slightest spring fatigue is a risk of a reliable closure of the passage channel.
- the handle part and bristle carrier do not adjoin one another in this known hand brush. There is a seal between the two parts, the also tired over time.
- a refillable hand brush with a handle part designed as a memory in which a valve member controlling an outlet opening of the handle part is loaded by symmetrically acting suspension elements.
- the brush disclosed there has the disadvantage that the valve arrangement is arranged at the screw connection point of the handle serving as a liquid storage device with a brush head carrying the bristles, the valve seat being designed for a valve closing member mounted in the brush head at the screw end of the brush head, while the band-like return spring elements are attached with their ends to the inside of the handle so that each time the brush is opened the valve parts are exposed and detached from one another.
- the effect of the elastic spring bands on the locking member depends on how far the handle is screwed onto the screw end of the brush head.
- this brush has to be reckoned with continuously flowing cleaning fluid when the brush is placed on the brush head.
- the plunger is guided through a sleeve, so that when the brush is used, no tilting moment resulting from transverse forces on the plunger can be exerted on the closing member.
- the invention has for its object a hand brush of the type mentioned with regard to the safety of Closure of the outlet channel by the closing member and to improve refillability.
- the object is achieved according to the invention with the features listed in the characterizing part of the main claim.
- the closing member and the bending spring loading the closing member are arranged in such a way that they are not changed in their relative position to one another when the storage space of the brush is refilled, and also cannot be released from the valve seat or the spring anchorage.
- the web or plate-shaped spiral spring is supported with its ends or its edge on the inside of the handle part, which results in a symmetrical loading of the closing member. Since, when using the hand brush, the closing member is generally lifted off during a longitudinal movement of the brush, the closing member projection 21 and thus inevitably also the closing member connected to it are forced into an inclined position when lifting off.
- a symmetrical support and a correspondingly evenly distributed attack over the entire surface of the closing element of the spiral spring after relieving the closing element ensures a return to a safe closing position, in which the closing element seals the inner opening of the passage channel over its entire circumference.
- the handle and the bristle holder of the hand brush designed according to the invention always remain in a fixed relative position to one another. Accordingly, the spiral spring supported on the handle always remains in a fixed relative position both to the handle and to the closing member of the valve arrangement covering the passage opening in the bristle carrier.
- the spiral spring can expediently be designed as a plate spring provided with passage openings.
- the part of the closing member protrusion projecting into the bristle area, which strikes a surface to be cleaned when there is increased pressure on the hand brush can expediently be made of a soft, non-scratchy material, for example a shorter bristle or a shorter bristle tuft, so that the increased pressure on the hand brush while continuing the cleaning process can be exerted without the risk that an object to be cleaned is scratched by the locking member projection.
- the wall of the handle part can also be at least partially flexible, so that when the increased pressure is exerted on the bristles, pressure is also exerted on the handle part with a tendency to reduce the content of the storage space for the cleaning liquid leads to a squeezing of cleaning fluid through the raised closing member and makes separate ventilation of the storage space unnecessary or facilitates forced ventilation via the liquid outlet channel.
- a hand brush designed in accordance with the invention ensures a secure closure of the outlet channel, can be easily refilled and can be inexpensively manufactured from a few individual parts.
- the hand brush 10 which is designed to be rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis 11, has a round bristle carrier 12 or 12a which is covered with bristle tufts 13 on its outside and has a central through opening 14 which forms a liquid outlet channel.
- Adjoining the bristle carrier 12 is a rotationally symmetrical hollow handle part 15, the interior of which forms a reservoir 16 for cleaning liquid, which can be filled in through an upper opening 17 of the handle part 15.
- the upper opening 17 of the handle part 15 is provided with an internal thread 18 and can be closed by means of a screw cap 19 which is rounded in a convenient manner.
- the through opening 14 of the bristle carrier 12 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 forming the liquid outlet channel can be closed on the inside of the bristle carrier 12 by a plate-shaped closing member 20 which has a peg-like projection 21 which projects through the through opening 14 to the outside.
- the peg-shaped projection 21 is made of a soft, non-scratchy material and can have longitudinal grooves. Its part protruding into the region of the bristles 13 is considerably shorter than the length of the bristles 13 in their rest position shown in the drawing.
- a disk spring 22 bears against the closing member 20 and is supported in its edge area on an inner step 23 of the handle part 15.
- the plate spring 22 can be designed as a simple spiral spring provided with through openings (not shown) or can be replaced by a spring bar supported with both ends on the inside of the handle part 15.
- the length of the protrusion 21 of the closing member 20 protruding into the area of the bristles 13 is selected so that this protrusion does not come into contact with the surface to be cleaned even under normal working pressure and the bristles 13 bending out here. Only by increased pressure on the hand brush by the hand guiding it when working with the brush is the projection 21 acted upon and leads to the opening of the liquid outlet channel 14 by lifting off the closing member 20.
- the distance between the wall of the passage channel 14 and the projection 21 or Longitudinal grooves of the projection 21 is adapted to the The consistency of the cleaning liquid is chosen so large that cleaning liquid can escape and air can flow in through the opened liquid outlet channel.
- the wall of the handle part 15 can also be made flexible in places so that when the contact pressure on the hand brush is increased, a contact pressure on the cleaning liquid accommodated in the storage space 16 can be effective, which promotes the outflow of the cleaning liquid. Ventilation of the storage space 16 can, however, also be brought about by a flap valve which is arranged in the screw cap 19 and is not shown and is known per se, which prevents cleaning liquid from flowing out when the hand brush 10 is inclined.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handbürste mit einem als Speicher für eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit ausgebildeten Griffteil und mit einem Borstenträger, der einen zentralen, außen im Bereich der Borsten mündenden Auslaßkanal für die Reinigungsflüssigkeit aufweist, der mit einem gegen Federkraft verstellbaren plattenförmigen Schließglied versehen ist, das auf der Innenseite des Borstenträgers gegen die Auslaßkanalöffnung vorgespannt ist und einen durch den Auslaßkanal mit Abstand von dessen Wandung hindurch nach außen ragenden zapfenartigen Vorsprung trägt, dessen aus dem Auslaßkanal in den Borstenbereich herausragender Teil eine kürzere Länge als die Borsten sowohl in ihrer Ruhestellung als auch bei normaler Arbeitsdruckbelastung aufweist.The invention relates to a hand brush with a handle part designed as a storage for a cleaning liquid and with a bristle carrier that has a central outlet opening in the region of the bristles for the cleaning liquid, which is provided with a plate-shaped closing element that is adjustable against spring force and that is on the inside of the bristle carrier is prestressed against the outlet channel opening and carries a pin-like projection which projects through the outlet channel at a distance from the wall thereof and whose protruding part from the outlet channel into the bristle region has a shorter length than the bristles both in their rest position and under normal working pressure loads .
Eine Handbürste mit den vorstehend genannten Merkmalen ist durch die US-A-2 091 369 bekannt. Die dort beschriebene Spenderbürste ist als nicht nachfüllbare Einwegbürste ausgebildet, die weggeworfen wird, wenn ihr Flüssigkeitsbehälter geleert ist. Sie ist nicht wie eine nachfüllbare Speicherbürste für eine lange Lebensdauer konstruiert. Das den Auslaßkanal abdichtende Schließglied ist durch eine quasi punktuell an ihm angreifende und am Borstenträger der Bürste abgestützte Feder belastet, was auf längere Sicht keinen sicheren flüssigkeitsdichten Verschluß im Ruhezustand gewährleisten kann. Die nur einseitig abgestützte Feder ergibt keinen Flächendruck über den gesamten Durchmesserbereich des Schließgliedes, so daß bei der geringsten Federermüdung bereits ein sicherer Verschluß des Durchlaßkanales gefährdet ist. Außerdem grenzen bei dieser bekannten Handbürste Griffteil und Borstenträger nicht aneinander. Zwischen beiden Teilen liegt noch eine Dichtung, die ebenfalls im Laufe der Zeit ermüdet.A hand brush with the above features is known from US-A-2 091 369. The dispenser brush described there is designed as a non-refillable disposable brush that is thrown away when its liquid container is empty. It is not designed like a refillable storage brush for a long life. The closing member sealing the outlet channel is loaded by a spring which acts on it and is supported on the bristle holder of the brush, which in the long term cannot guarantee a secure liquid-tight closure in the idle state. The spring, which is supported only on one side, does not result in any surface pressure over the entire diameter range of the closing element, so that even the slightest spring fatigue is a risk of a reliable closure of the passage channel. In addition, the handle part and bristle carrier do not adjoin one another in this known hand brush. There is a seal between the two parts, the also tired over time.
Aus der US-A-2 493 990 ist zwar eine nachfüllbare Handbürste mit einem als Speicher ausgebildeten Griffteil bekannt, bei welcher ein eine Austrittsöffnung des Griffteiles kontrollierendes Ventilglied von symmetrisch angreifenden Federungselementen belastet ist. Die dort offenbarte Bürste weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß die Ventilanordnung an der Schraubverbindungsstelle des als Flüssigkeitsspeicher dienenden Handgriffes mit einem die Borsten tragenden Bürstenkopf angeordnet ist, wobei der Ventilsitz für ein im Bürstenkopf gelagertes Ventilschließglied am Schraubenende des Bürstenkopfes ausgebildet ist, während die bandartigen Rückstellfederelemente mit ihren Enden an der Innenseite des Handgriffes befestigt sind, so daß bei jedem Öffnen der Bürste die Ventilteile freigelegt und voneinander gelöst werden. Außerdem ist die Wirkung der elastischen Federbänder auf das Schließglied davon abhängig, wie weit der Handgriff auf das Schraubende des Bürstenkopfes aufgeschraubt wird. Bei dieser Ventilanordnung und -ausbildung besteht die Gefahr, daß das Ventil undicht wird, was bedeutet, daß gespeicherte Reinigungsflüssigkeit in den hohlen Bürstenkopf abtropfen und dort durch unverschließbare Auslaßkanäle in den Borstenbereich ausfließen kann.From US-A-2 493 990 a refillable hand brush with a handle part designed as a memory is known, in which a valve member controlling an outlet opening of the handle part is loaded by symmetrically acting suspension elements. However, the brush disclosed there has the disadvantage that the valve arrangement is arranged at the screw connection point of the handle serving as a liquid storage device with a brush head carrying the bristles, the valve seat being designed for a valve closing member mounted in the brush head at the screw end of the brush head, while the band-like return spring elements are attached with their ends to the inside of the handle so that each time the brush is opened the valve parts are exposed and detached from one another. In addition, the effect of the elastic spring bands on the locking member depends on how far the handle is screwed onto the screw end of the brush head. With this valve arrangement and design, there is a risk that the valve will leak, which means that stored cleaning fluid can drip into the hollow brush head and flow out there into the bristle area through unsealable outlet channels.
Wegen dieser unverschließbaren Auslaßkanäle muß bei dieser Bürste ohnehin dauernd mit nachfließender Reinigungsflüssigkeit beim Absetzen der Bürste auf den Bürstenkopf gerechnet werden. Zudem ist bei dieser Bürste der Stößel durch eine Hülse geführt, so daß beim Gebrauch der Bürste kein durch Querkräfte auf den Stößel herrührendes Kippmoment auf das Schließglied ausgeübt werden kann.Because of these non-closable outlet channels, this brush has to be reckoned with continuously flowing cleaning fluid when the brush is placed on the brush head. In addition, in this brush, the plunger is guided through a sleeve, so that when the brush is used, no tilting moment resulting from transverse forces on the plunger can be exerted on the closing member.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Handbürste der eingangs genannten Art im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit des Verschlusses des Auslaßkanals durch das Schließglied und auf die Nachfüllbarkeit zu verbessern.The invention has for its object a hand brush of the type mentioned with regard to the safety of Closure of the outlet channel by the closing member and to improve refillability.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruches aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst. Das Schließglied und die das Schließglied belastende Biegefeder sind so angeordnet, daß sie beim Nachfüllen des Speicherraumes der Bürste nicht in ihrer Relativstellung zueinander verändert werden und auch nicht vom Ventilsitz oder der Federverankerung gelöst werden können. Die steg- bzw. tellerförmige Biegefeder ist mit ihren Enden bzw. ihrem Rand an der Innenseite des Griffteiles abgestützt, wobei sich jeweils eine symmetrische Belastung des Schließgliedes ergibt. Da bei der Benutzung der Handbürste das Abheben des Schließgliedes in der Regel während einer Längsbewegung der Bürste erfolgt, wird der Schließglied-Vorsprung 21 und damit zwangsläufig auch das mit ihm verbundene Schließglied beim Abheben in eine Schräglage gezwungen. Hier gewährleistet eine symmetrische Abstützung und ein entsprechend gleichmäßig über die gesamte Fläche des Schließgliedes verteilter Angriff der Biegefeder nach einer Entlastung des Schließgliedes eine Rückstellung in eine sichere Schließstellung, in welcher das Schließglied die innere Öffnung des Durchlaßkanales über ihren vollen Umfang abdichtet. Der Handgriff und der Borstenträger der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Handbürste bleiben immer in einer festen Relativstellung zueinander. Dementsprechend bleibt auch die am Handgriff abgestützte Biegefeder immer in einer festen Relativstellung sowohl zum Handgriff als auch zu dem die Durchlaßöffnung im Borstenträger abdeckenden Schließglied der Ventilanordnung. Die Biegefeder kann zweckmäßig als mit Durchtrittsöffnungen versehene Tellerfeder ausgebildet sein.The object is achieved according to the invention with the features listed in the characterizing part of the main claim. The closing member and the bending spring loading the closing member are arranged in such a way that they are not changed in their relative position to one another when the storage space of the brush is refilled, and also cannot be released from the valve seat or the spring anchorage. The web or plate-shaped spiral spring is supported with its ends or its edge on the inside of the handle part, which results in a symmetrical loading of the closing member. Since, when using the hand brush, the closing member is generally lifted off during a longitudinal movement of the brush, the
Der in den Borstenbereich ragende Teil des Schließglied-Vorsprunges, der bei einem verstärkten Druck auf die Handbürste auf eine zu reinigende Fläche auftrifft, kann zweckmäßig aus einem weichen, nicht kratzenden Material gefertigt, beispielsweise aus einer kürzeren Borste oder einem kürzeren Borstenbüschel bestehen, so daß der verstärkte Druck auf die Handbürste unter Fortsetzung des Reinigungsvorganges ohne die Gefahr ausgeübt werden kann, daß durch den Schließglied-Vorsprung ein zu reinigender Gegenstand zerkratzt wird.The part of the closing member protrusion projecting into the bristle area, which strikes a surface to be cleaned when there is increased pressure on the hand brush, can expediently be made of a soft, non-scratchy material, for example a shorter bristle or a shorter bristle tuft, so that the increased pressure on the hand brush while continuing the cleaning process can be exerted without the risk that an object to be cleaned is scratched by the locking member projection.
Bei einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Handbürste kann die Wandung des Griffteiles auch mindestens teilweise flexibel ausgebildet sein, so daß bei der Ausübung des verstärkten Druckes auf die Borsten auch ein Druck auf den Griffteil mit der Tendenz einer Verkleinerung des Inhalts des Speicherraumes für die Reinigungsflüssigkeit ausgeübt wird, die zu einem Auspressen von Reinigungsflüssigkeit durch das abgehobene Schließglied führt und eine gesonderte Belüftigung des Speicherraumes überflüssig macht oder eine Zwangsbelüftung über den Flüssigkeitsauslaßkanal erleichtert.In a hand brush designed according to the invention, the wall of the handle part can also be at least partially flexible, so that when the increased pressure is exerted on the bristles, pressure is also exerted on the handle part with a tendency to reduce the content of the storage space for the cleaning liquid leads to a squeezing of cleaning fluid through the raised closing member and makes separate ventilation of the storage space unnecessary or facilitates forced ventilation via the liquid outlet channel.
Eine erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Handbürste gewährleistet einen sicheren Verschluß des Auslaßkanals, läßt sich leicht nachfüllen und aus wenigen Einzelteilen preisgünstig fertigen.A hand brush designed in accordance with the invention ensures a secure closure of the outlet channel, can be easily refilled and can be inexpensively manufactured from a few individual parts.
Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Die rotationssymmetrisch zu einer Achse 11 ausgebildete Handbürste 10 weist einen runden Borstenträger 12 oder 12a auf, der auf seiner Außenseite mit Borstenbüscheln 13 besetzt ist und eine zentrale Durchgangsöffnung 14 aufweist, die einen Flüssigkeitsauslaßkanal bildet. An den Borstenträger 12 schließt sich ein rotationssymmetrischer hohler Griffteil 15 an, dessen Innenraum einen Speicher 16 für Reinigungsflüssigkeit bildet, die durch eine obere Öffnung 17 des Griffteiles 15 eingefüllt werden kann. Die obere Öffnung 17 des Griffteiles 15 ist mit einem Innengewinde 18 versehen und mittels einer griffgünstig gerundeten Schraubkappe 19 verschließbar.The
Die den Flüssigkeitsauslaßkanal bildende Durchgangsöffnung 14 des Borstenträgers 12 der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 und 2 ist auf der Innenseite des Borstenträgers 12 durch ein plattenförmiges Schließglied 20 verschließbar, das einen zapfenartigen Vorsprung 21 aufweist, der durch die Durchgangsöffnung 14 hindurch nach außen ragt. Der zapfenförmige Vorsprung 21 ist aus einem weichen, nicht kratzenden Material gefertigt und kann Längsnuten aufweisen. Sein in den Bereich der Borsten 13 vorstehender Teil ist wesentlich kürzer als die Länge der Borsten 13 in ihrer in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ruhestellung. Am Schließglied 20 liegt eine Tellerfeder 22 an, die in ihren Randbereich an einer Innenstufe 23 des Griffteiles 15 angestützt ist. Die Tellerfeder 22 kann als einfache, mit nicht dargestellten Durchtrittsöffnungen versehene Biegefeder ausgebildet sein oder durch einen mit beiden Enden an der Innenseite des Griffteiles 15 abgestützten Federsteg ersetzt sein.The through opening 14 of the
Die Länge des in den Bereich der Borsten 13 vorstehenden Vorsprunges 21 des Schließgliedes 20 ist so gewählt, daß dieser Vorsprung auch bei normalem Arbeitsdruck und hierbei auftretender Ausbiegung der Borsten 13 noch nicht mit der zu reinigenden Fläche in Berührung kommt. Erst durch einen verstärkten Druck auf die Handbürste durch die sie führende Hand beim Arbeiten mit der Bürste wird der Vorsprung 21 beaufschlagt und führt zu einem Öffnen des Flüssigkeitsauslaßkanales 14 durch Abheben des Schließgliedes 20. Der Abstand zwischen der Wandung des Durchlaßkanales 14 und dem Vorsprung 21 oder Längsnuten des Vorsprunges 21 wird in Anpassung an die Konsistenz der Reinigungsflüssigkeit so groß gewählt, daß durch den geöffneten Flüssigkeitsauslaßkanal sowohl Reinigungsflüssigkeit austreten als auch Luft einströmen kann. Die Wandung des Griffteiles 15 kann auch stellenweise flexibel ausgebildet sein, so daß bei der Verstärkung des Anpreßdruckes auf die Handbürste ein Preßdruck auf die im Speicherraum 16 untergebrachte Reinigungsflüssigkeit wirksam werden kann, welcher das Ausfließen der Reinigungsflüssigkeit begünstigt. Eine Belüftung des Speicherraumes 16 kann aber auch durch ein in der Schraubkappe 19 angeordnetes, nicht dargestelltes und an sich bekanntes Klappenventil bewirkt werden, das ein Ausfließen von Reinigungsflüssigkeit bei schrägliegender Handbürste 10 verhindert.The length of the
