  • the receiving part via an overflow device and / or connected via at least one outlet opening with the cleaning liquid container.
  • the invention has the object of providing an electrical cleaning device for a razor in such a way that it can be produced with little effort and requires the smallest possible footprint.
  • the razor cleaning device has an upper part with a cleaning container for receiving the razor in the region of its shaving head and with a cleaning device for a cleaning liquid driven by an electric motor.
  • the peculiarity of the cleaning device according to the invention is that the upper part is supported on a replaceable cartridge for storing the cleaning liquid.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that it has a replaceable cartridge and yet is compact and simple.
  • the upper part and the cartridge can be releasably connected to each other by a coupling device.
  • the coupling device can be formed by cooperating coupling elements on the underside of the upper part and on the upper side of the cartridge. Such arranged coupling elements are not visible in the coupled state of the upper part and the cartridge from the outside and thus do not interfere with the visual impression.
  • the coupling device may be formed, for example, as a screw, which made with little effort can be and is easy to use.
  • the upper part may have feet for parking the upper part when the cartridge is removed.
  • the upper part may have an activation device for the at least temporary commissioning of the shaver.
  • the activation device can be designed in particular as at least one electrical contact.
  • the outer shape of the cartridge in the transition region to the upper part is adapted to the outer shape of the upper part, in order to allow an optimal connection between the upper part and the cartridge and to achieve a pleasing visual appearance.
  • the invention relates to a system consisting of a razor and the cleaning device according to the invention.
  • the shaver has a cleaning function that can be activated by the cleaning device for the temporary operation of the shaver during the cleaning process. This has the advantage that the razor can be equipped with an optimal for his design cleaning program and the cost of implementing the cleaning program can be omitted in the cleaning device.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the cleaning device 1 according to the invention in a perspective view.
  • the cleaning device 1 has an upper part 2 with a receiving opening 3 into which an electric shaver 4 is inserted in the region of its shaving head.
  • the components required for the operation of the cleaning device 1 are arranged. These components are not visible from the outside and therefore in Fig. 1 are not shown, it is for example a conveyor for conveying a cleaning liquid, an electric motor for driving the conveyor, etc.
  • an interchangeable cartridge 5 is arranged, which is designed as a lower part of the cleaning device 1 and carries the upper part 2. In addition to its function as a supporting part of the cleaning device 1, the cartridge 5 is used to store the cleaning liquid.
  • the cleaning liquid is used up or heavily soiled, then by replacing the cartridge 5 fresh cleaning liquid is provided.
  • the outer lateral surfaces of the upper part 2 and the cartridge 5 merge into each other without radial offset, so that the cartridge 5 visually does not appear as a foreign component in appearance, but forms an integral part of the cleaning device 1.
  • the cleaning device 1 tapers from bottom to top. This applies both to the upper part 2 and to the cartridge 5. In this case, both the upper part 2 and the cartridge 5 have a circular cross-section in wide areas.
  • Fig. 2 shows the embodiment Fig. 1 without the razor 4, so that the view is released to a cleaning container 6 accessible via the receiving opening 3, in which the razor 4 is immersed during the cleaning process.
  • the cleaning container 6 can be filled with cleaning liquid, which is conveyed by the conveyor from the cartridge 5 into the cleaning container 6.
  • electrical contacts 7 are arranged, which abut against corresponding contact points of the shaver 4, when immersed in the cleaning container 6.
  • an electrical terminal 8 is provided, via which the upper part 2, an operating voltage can be supplied.
  • the upper part 2 may also have a figuratively not shown switch for starting the cleaning process, if an automatic starting of the cleaning operation when touching the electrical contacts 7 by the razor 4 is not desired.
  • a cleaning program stored in the razor 4 can be started via the electrical contacts 7, with which the shaving head is automatically put into operation for one or more periods of time.
  • a soaking time without shaving head operation is provided in each case between the operating phases.
  • the deposit of the cleaning program in the shaver 4 allows a relative
  • a razor 4 which is operated with a battery, via the electrical contacts 7, a charging current to be supplied.
  • the shaving head of the shaver 4 is surrounded by a liquid flow during the cleaning process, which is generated by the conveyor, or immersed in the rather static in the cleaning tank 6 existing cleaning liquid. After the cleaning process, the cleaning liquid, including the contaminants detached from the shaving head, flows back into the cartridge 5, in which the contaminants sediment over time.
  • a filter can be provided.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the cleaning device 1 according to the invention with removed cartridge 5 in a perspective view.
  • the upper part 2 has on its underside in a central position a tubular extension 9, which is provided with an internal thread 10 at least in a subsection adjacent to the underside.
  • the cartridge 5 has on its upper side also in a central position a circular opening 11, the edge of which is provided with an external thread 12.
  • the internal thread 10 and the external thread 12 are coordinated so that the upper part 2 can be screwed onto the cartridge 5 and thereby a releasable mechanical connection between the upper part 2 and the cartridge 5 can be made.
  • the tubular extension 9 of the upper part 2 is inserted into the opening 11 of the cartridge 5 so far that the internal thread 10 bears against the external thread 12.
  • the upper part 2 and the cartridge 5 are rotated against each other and thereby screwed.
  • the tubular extension 9 dives so far through the opening 11 in the cartridge 5, that a promotion of the cleaning liquid from the cartridge 5 is possible.
  • a viewing window 13 is inserted into the lateral surface of the cartridge 5, through which the level of the cleaning liquid can be read. If the filling level is too low, the cartridge 5 is unscrewed from the upper part 2 and a new cartridge 5 is screwed to the upper part 2.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of the cleaning device 1 according to the invention with removed cartridge 5 in a perspective view.
  • This embodiment differs from the embodiment of Fig. 3 in particular with regard to the formation of the coupling mechanism between the upper part 2 and the cartridge 5.
