Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tile washing brush comprising a liquid outlet regulator.
  • the regulation of the liquid flowing to the bottom is obtained in various ways.
  • One of these ways is to insert a tap (which can be a drip) immediately below the tank. Tap allows, in addition to opening and closing, to adjust as needed the importance of the flow of the liquid contained in the tank.
  • Another way of doing things that is more convenient in practice is to intervene. on the small tube connected to the reservoir, for the downward flow of the liquid, which for this must be done in a flexible material, by compressing more or less a section of this little tube. By completely crushing the small tube, it blocks the passage of the liquid. Yes no compression is applied to the small tube, the liquid flows freely downwards from the tank. If there is reduced pressure on the small flexible tube, performing a partial crushing thereof, the importance of the flow of the liquid flowing towards the bottom is determined based on the value of the crush.
  • the brushes which exist on the market whose tank is mounted on the handle and in which the adjustment of the flow of liquid from the reservoir is carried out by crushing a section of the small tube of flexible material connected to the lower part of the tank, are carried out as described below.
  • the tank has the shape of a bottle with a neck provided with a cap for its filling and it is provided at its lower part with a tubular appendage for its connection with one end of the small flexible tube.
  • a tank is provided with holes on its bottom and on its top, which are intended to be crossed by the handle, and the support is obtained at means of fittings or a specific seal made between the tank and the handle.
  • the distribution of the liquid in the lower part of the base board is produced by means of a mixed metal-resin pipe which presents a series of holes in a groove (provided with holes) which are made in the board basic itself.
  • the mixed metal-resin pipe is supplied from the small flexible tube at the place of a tubular appendage which is in the part top of the base board.
  • Tank brushes of the type described above in addition to being of a cost of high production and antieconomic from the handling point of view, present a series disadvantages that reduce their performance.
  • One drawback consists in making the reservoir intended to contain the liquids to be used for cleaning.
  • the tank To house the tank in a way symmetrical around the handle and to ensure the continuity of this handle, the tank has at its bottom and at its top two holes through which the handle passes. To allow the tank to function properly, it is necessary to remove, the location of the lower hole and the upper hole, suitable fittings which are held against the handle.
  • To protect the wall of the handle in its part which is found inside the tank in case the liquids introduced into the tank can be aggressive towards the material of the handle, the latter must be previously wrapped in a sheath of suitable material and maintaining the hole lower and the upper hole of the tank mounted on the handle is made against the protective shealth. In the latter case, the appropriate ones are chosen. materials of the tank and the sheath and instead of the use of the linings, it is possible to heat seal.
  • a type of tank produced as described above has a cost not negligible as a result of the adoption of the holding fittings and the sleeve sheathing. If heat sealing is carried out on the protective sheath, it is possible to damage the reservoir (for example the tubular appendix where the small flexible material can break) and this results in the replacement of the tank together with the handle, requiring complete disassembly of the entire structure.
  • the reservoir for example the tubular appendix where the small flexible material can break
  • the bottle-type tank is provided at its upper part with a neck with a closure cap. To fill the tank or empty it quickly, it there remains the problem that must be removed and then take the plug back previously removed, as happens with all normal bottles with a cork, this occupying one hand and taking a long time.
  • a mixed metal-resin type pipe provided a series of drainage holes, inserted into a hollowed out longitudinal groove in the lower plane of the base board.
  • Such a mixed metal-resin pipe is combined with the closing plane of the groove and this closing plane is provided with holes corresponding to those made in the metal portions of the pipeline.
  • the liquid that comes out of the holes formed in the metal portions of the pipe in addition to being able to exit through the holes in the closure plane, can fill the free interior of the groove provided for its housing, which has for disadvantage that the liquid continues to come out below the base board even when you want to interrupt the flow by blocking the small flexible tube.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a broom provided with a reservoir with a liquid outlet regulator which eliminates all the disadvantages associated with brushes provided with a reservoir and a liquid outlet regulator which exist on the market, thanks to new functional and structural concepts reducing the costs of production and handling.
  • the liquid reservoir which is not bottle-shaped but has a open mouth, is obtained in one piece and has a tubular cavity at the center whose wall, the same height as the external wall is in continuation, by through the bottom of the tank, with this outer wall.
  • the reservoir thus produced does not require handle retention pads.
  • the tank is easily replaceable in case of damage due to the fact that it can be removed from the handle. In the case presently considered, the handle does not in fact participate in the production of the reservoir.
  • the tank is open mouth, it is possible to insert, in its initial section, a cup-shaped filter, with a central tubular cavity and which, thereby prevents the introduction of any solid particles which could clog the flow of liquid at the points of a reduced diameter.
  • the closure of the tank mouth is achieved by means of a cover inverted cup-shaped, with a central tubular cavity sliding along the handle.
  • the external wall of the cover is provided with an internal border intended to mate with the corresponding external border of the tank.
  • the cover On its upper part external and close to the handle, the cover is provided with a tubular appendage fin.
  • This external upper part of the cover is configured in such a way that, when the cover is lifted upwards, it engages elastically on the part lower of the handle of the handle, in order to be retained by it. This allows the operator to have both hands without having to hold the cover during operations to be carried out with the mouth of the tank free.
  • Another object of the present invention is to carry out, in a simple and particularly economical, the device provided for crushing a section of the small flexible tube to adjust the flow of liquid from the tank downwards.
  • This device consists of a small piston provided with a transverse opening for the passage of the small flexible tube, and, in the lower part of this opening, of a small nose or enlargement, and a sleeve which can be provided with an opening corresponding for the passage of the small flexible tube and in which the small slide piston.
  • This crushing device consisting of the sleeve fixed firmly at the end lower of the tubular handle, the small piston provided with the nose and the push spring of the piston up, is housed in the handle holder connected by a cardan joint to the basic board.
  • the assembly and disassembly of this crushing device are in additionally made in a simple way by fixing or releasing the handle of the handle holder associated, and this by closing or opening the sleeve holder sleeve which ensures tightening.
  • the handle holder also has two opposite openings which cross its wall in being aligned with the openings of the sleeve and the opening of the small piston having the nose, to allow the passage of the small flexible tube.
  • Another object of the invention is that the actuation of the crushing device of the small flexible tube is not produced by pulling a wire but is obtained on the contrary by pressure on a rod which connects the knob located at the top of the handle of the handle, to the small piston with nose.
  • the thrust exerted by means of the rod, and which opposes the action of the spring arranged on the bottom of the handle holder, causes the lowering of the small piston whose nose, moving away from the edge of the wall of the sleeve against which it was pressing, reducing or completely crushing the small flexible tube.
  • a key is made on a sleeve with an external flange threaded in the upper end of the handle and, on a central male pin of the threaded knob in the aforementioned sleeve a hollow which has, at its internal end, a widening in which the key, after a slight rotation of the knob, can penetrate in thus keeping the knob in its lowered position.
  • Another innovation present in the patent according to the present invention concerns the distribution of the liquid in the base board.
  • the achievement is very simple and it does not involve the insertion of metal pipe portions.
  • On the upper part of the base board is made a longitudinal groove in the bottom of which are drilled a series of holes of a diameter decreasing from the center towards the end.
  • This groove is closed by a slender cover with a gasket underlying provided in the central area of a tubular appendage for the task of the small flexible tube from the tank.
  • a slender cover with a gasket underlying provided in the central area of a tubular appendage for the task of the small flexible tube from the tank In this case, there is no danger of spreading or which could disrupt the flow. In this case also there is no parts which may undergo corrosion or obstructions.
  • the possible cleaning of the groove is carried out with ease after removing the cover while cleaning the drain holes can be made directly from the fact that these holes are accessible to from the bottom surface of the base board.
