Description

INSTRUMENT DE NETTOYAGE CLEANING INSTRUMENT
La présente invention concerne une brosse désincrustante, notamment pour tapis.The present invention relates to a scrub brush, in particular for carpets.
Les moyens usuels de brossage ou de nettoyage par aspirateur sont généralement assez inefficaces dans le cas de poils d'animaux ou d'amas de poussière collés-ou incrustés dans des tapis, des cou¬ vertures ou d'autres pièces de tissus.The usual means of brushing or vacuum cleaning are usually quite ineffective in the case of pet hair or dust heap-glued or embedded in carpets, neck ¬ vertures or other tissue parts.
Afin de remédier à ceci, l'invention propose une brosse compor¬ tant une partie en matière gommeuse fixée sur un support, la partie gommeuse présentant de préférence un profil en relief, soit une surface rainurée ou striée mais pouvant aussi être lisse, la partie gommeuse étant de préférence en caoutchouc ou en un mélange de caoutchouc et de plastique qui soit assez mou ou moyennement dur.In order to remedy this, the invention proposes a brush comprising a part made of gummy material fixed on a support, the gummy part preferably having a raised profile, either a grooved or striated surface but which can also be smooth, the part gummy being preferably rubber or a mixture of rubber and plastic which is rather soft or moderately hard.
Vu la simplicité de conception de la brosse, trois simples figures sont représentées (1, 2 , 3) ,étant entendu qu'elle est: constituée d'une partie support pouvant être munie d'un man¬ che, une partie en matière gommeuse étant fixée, de préférence par collage, sur une face de ladite partie support. La partie gommeuse étant de l'ordre de 20 cm pour une largeur d'environ 5 cm et une épaisseur d'environ 0,5 cm.Given the simplicity of the brush design, three simple figures are shown (1, 2, 3), it being understood that it is: made up of a support part which can be provided with a handle , a part made of gummy material being fixed, preferably by gluing, on one face of said support part. The gummy part being of the order of 20 cm for a width of approximately 5 cm and a thickness of approximately 0.5 cm.
Une telle brosse est facile à utiliser, en particulier pour un usage quotidien, pour un nettoyage approfondi des tapis, cou¬ vertures ou autres pièces de tissu, permettant de ramasser par la partie gommeuse de la brosse tous les poils d'animaux et amas de poussière incrustés ou collés dans la pièce à nettoyer. Such a brush is easy to use, in particular for daily use, for a thorough cleaning of carpets, blankets or other pieces of fabric, making it possible to pick up by the gummy part of the brush all animal hair and clumps of dust embedded or stuck in the part to be cleaned.
