Description

Bürstensvstem Bürstensvstem
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bürstensystem mit einem von einem Haltegriff gehaltenen Haltekörper, an dem ein Reinigungselement in einer ersten Gebrauchsposition festlegbar ist.The invention relates to a brush system with a holding body held by a handle on which a cleaning element can be fixed in a first position of use.
Derartige Bürstensysteme sind bekannt. Diese werden zu vielfältigen Reinigungszwecken verwendet. Insbesondere finden diese Bürstensysteme ihren Einsatz bei der Reinigung von glatten Flächen, vorzugsweise bei Glasscheiben. Es sind aber auch andere Reinigungsaufgaben, insbesondere aus dem Bereich des Haushalts mit dem Bürstensystem zu lösen.Such brush systems are known. These are used for a variety of cleaning purposes. In particular, these brush systems find their use in the cleaning of smooth surfaces, preferably in glass. But there are also other cleaning tasks, in particular from the household with the brush system to solve.
In der DE 199 05 871 A1 ist eine Reinigungsbürste offenbart. Die Reinigungsbürste weist einen Haltegriff und einen lösbar daran angebrachten Reinigungsaufsatz auf. Der Haltegriff und der Reinigungsaufsatz werden zueinander über eine Dichtung im wesentlichen unverrutschbar aber lösbar verklemmt. Der Reinigungsaufsatz besteht aus zwei ineinandergesetzten Bechern und zwar aus einem Innenbecher und einem Außenbecher. Der Innenbecher ist mit dem Außenbecher an seiner dem Haltegriff abgewandten Stirnseite rastend über einen Widerhaken verbunden. Um den Außenbecher herum liegt ein Reinigungstuch, welches an der Stirnseite des Außenbechers und an dessen Mantelfläche vollflächig und etwa plan anliegt und um den freien Rand der Mantelfläche des Außenbechers herum in einen Zwischenraum zwischen Außenbecher und Innenbecher mit seinen Lappen eingeführt ist und dort festgeklemmt liegt. Der Hauptnachteil bei dieser Reinigungsbürste ist darin zu sehen, daß das Reinigungstuch mit einer einzigen Bearbeitungsfläche stets an der Stirnseite des Außenbechers anliegt. Bei Verwendung der Reinigungsbürste kommt lediglich die an der Stirnseite anliegende einzige Bearbeitungsfläche des Reinigungstuchs mit der zu reinigenden Fläche in Kontakt. Hierdurch wird das Reinigungstuch lediglich an der einzigen Bearbeitungsfläche verschließen, so daß das Reinigungstuch bei Verschleiß der einzigen Bearbeitungsfläche insgesamt entsorgt werden muss, wobei die in dem Zwischenraum eingeklemmten Lappen noch unverschlissen sind.DE 199 05 871 A1 discloses a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush has a handle and a releasably attached cleaning attachment. The handle and the cleaning attachment to each other via a seal substantially unverrutschbar but releasably clamped. The cleaning attachment consists of two nested cups, namely an inner cup and an outer cup. The inner cup is connected to the outer cup on its side facing away from the handle end latching via a barb. Around the outer cup is a cleaning cloth, which lies against the front of the outer cup and on its lateral surface over the entire surface and approximately flat and is introduced around the free edge of the outer surface of the outer cup around in a space between the outer cup and inner cup with its lobes and is clamped there. The main disadvantage of this cleaning brush is the fact that the cleaning cloth always rests with a single processing surface on the front side of the outer cup. When using the cleaning brush, only the single machining surface of the cleaning cloth resting on the front side comes into contact with the surface to be cleaned. As a result, the cleaning cloth is closed only on the single processing surface, so that the cleaning cloth must be disposed of in total wear of the single processing surface, wherein the clamped in the gap cloths are still unworn.
Nachteilhaft ist ferner, daß die eingeklemmten Lappen für eine weitere Verwendung in der offenbarten Reinigungsbürste ungeeignet sind, obwohl die Lappen noch unbenutzt sind. Damit muss das Reinigungstuch, obwohl dieses teilweise noch zu Reinigungszwecken zu gebrauchen wäre, komplett entsorgt werden, so daß ein erheblicher Anteil an zu entsorgendem Wertstoff als Abfall die Umwelt unnötigerweise belastet.Another disadvantage is that the trapped flaps are unsuitable for further use in the disclosed cleaning brush, although the flaps are still unused. Thus, the cleaning cloth, although this would still be partly used for cleaning purposes, must be disposed of completely, so that a significant proportion of waste to be disposed of as waste pollutes the environment unnecessarily.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbessertes Bürstensystem zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem das Reinigungselement vollständig aufgebraucht werden kann.The present invention has for its object to provide an improved brush system available, in which the cleaning element can be completely used up.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß das Reinigungselement aus der ersten Gebrauchsposition in zumindest eine zweite Gebrauchsposition überführbar ist. Somit kann das Reinigungselement nach dem Verschleiß einerAccording to the invention, this is achieved in that the cleaning element can be transferred from the first use position into at least one second use position. Thus, the cleaning element after the wear of a
Bearbeitungsfläche, die der ersten Gebrauchsposition zugeordnet ist mittels desMachining surface, which is assigned to the first use position by means of
Überführens in die zweite Gebrauchsposition durch Bereitstellung einer neuen, unbenutzten Bearbeitungsfläche weiter verwendet werden, und muss nicht entsorgt werden. Ist die Bearbeitungsfläche, die der zweiten Gebrauchsposition zugeordnet ist verbraucht, wird das Reinigungselement einfach in eine dritteTransfer to the second position of use by providing a new, unused processing surface continue to be used, and must not be disposed of. If the processing area associated with the second use position is consumed, the cleaning element simply becomes a third one
Gebrauchsposition überführt. Diese Überführung von einer Gebrauchsposition mit einer verschlissenen Bearbeitungsfläche in eine jeweils folgendeUsed position transferred. This transfer from a use position with a worn processing surface in each case following
Gebrauchsposition mit einer jeweils neuen, unbenutzten Bearbeitungsfläche kann vorteilhaft bis zum vollständigen Verschleiß des Reinigungselementes durchgeführt werden. Damit das Reinigungselement in einfacher Weise aus der ersten Gebrauchsposition und in die jeweils folgenden Gebrauchspositionen überführt werden kann, ist das Reinigungselement zweckmäßiger Weise röhr- oder schlauchförmig ausgebildet und umgibt den Haltekörper. Durch die erfindungsgemäße röhr- oder schlauchförmige Ausgestaltung wird das Reinigungselement in einfacher Weise um den Haltekörper herum gedreht, wobei das Reinigungselement stets den Haltekörper umgibt.Use position with a respective new, unused processing surface can be advantageously carried out until complete wear of the cleaning element. So that the cleaning element can be transferred in a simple manner from the first position of use and in the subsequent use positions, the cleaning element is expediently tubular or tubular and surrounds the holding body. As a result of the tubular or tubular configuration according to the invention, the cleaning element is rotated in a simple manner around the holding body, with the cleaning element always surrounding the holding body.
Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß das Reinigungselement unter elastischer Vorspannung an dem Haltekörper anliegt und mittels des Haltegriffs an diesem festklemmbar ist. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß das Reinigungselement in der jeweiligen Gebrauchsposition unverrutschbar an dem Haltekörper gehalten wird. Günstig im Sinne der Erfindung ist hierbei, wenn das Reinigungselement einen geringfügig kleineren Umfang aufweist als der Haltekörper, wodurch der sichere und unverrutschbare Halt an dem Haltekörper weiter verbessert wird.It is further provided that the cleaning element rests under elastic bias on the holding body and by means of the handle on this is clamped. This ensures that the cleaning element is held undamaged on the holding body in the respective use position. Favorable in the context of the invention here is when the cleaning element has a slightly smaller circumference than the holding body, whereby the secure and unverrutschbare stop on the holding body is further improved.
Als Reinigungselement für das erfindungsgemäße Bürstensystem eignet sich in besondere Weise ein Reinigungsplüsch, da dieser besonders saugfähig ist und Reinigungsflüssigkeit speichern kann, wobei das Reinigungsplüsch zudem höchst strapazierfähig ist und eine besonders hohe Reinigungskraft aufweist.As cleaning element for the brush system according to the invention is in a special way a cleaning plush, since it is particularly absorbent and can store cleaning liquid, the cleaning plush is also highly durable and has a particularly high cleaning power.
Zur Verklemmung des Reinigungselementes zwischen dem Haltegriff und dem Haltekörper weist der Haltekörper seitliche Vertiefungen auf, in die der elastisch verformbare Haltegriff kraftformschlüssig eingreift.To clamp the cleaning element between the handle and the holding body, the holding body has lateral recesses, in which engages the elastically deformable handle frictionally engaged.
Erfindungsgemäß besteht der Haltekörper aus einem steifen, elastischen Schaumstoff, wodurch vorteilhaft eine gezielte Durchbiegung einer Bearbeitungsfläche des Haltekörpers erzeugt werden kann. Durch gezielte Durchbiegungen der Bearbeitungsfläche des Haltekörpers kann vom Benutzer die auf der zu reinigenden Oberfläche aufliegende Bearbeitungsfläche gezielt gesteuert werden. Zudem kann der Haltekörper vorteilhaft auch mit Bearbeitungsflächen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, die im Querschnitt gesehen unterschiedliche geometrische Ausgestaltungen aufweisen. Zur Entfernung von hartnäckigem Schmutz kann der Haltekörper eine im Querschnitt gesehen rechteckige Bearbeitungsfläche mit zwei geraden Bearbeitungskanten aufweisen. Um Kanten und Ecken zu reinigen, wird zweckmäßiger Weise ein Haltekörper mit einer im Querschnitt gesehen dreieckigen Bearbeitungsfläche mit einer spitz zulaufenden Bearbeitungskante verwendet. Insbesondere die spitz zulaufende Bearbeitungskante greift besonders gut in die schwer zugänglichen Ecken ein. Ein Haltekörper mit einer im Querschnitt gesehen runden Bearbeitungsfläche und einer runden Bearbeitungskante eignet sich vorteilhaft zum Reinigen von Fugen, wobei der Haltekörper bei dem Ziehen durch die Fuge eine alternierende Abrollbewegung ausführen kann. Hierbei wird nicht nur der Boden der Fuge gereinigt, sondern auch die begrenzenden Fugenwände.According to the invention, the holding body consists of a stiff, elastic foam, whereby advantageously a targeted deflection of a working surface of the holding body can be generated. By targeted deflections of the working surface of the holding body, the user can selectively control the resting on the surface to be cleaned processing surface. In addition, the holding body may advantageously also be provided with working surfaces which, viewed in cross-section, have different geometrical configurations. In order to remove stubborn dirt, the holding body may have a processing surface with two straight processing edges, which is rectangular in cross-section exhibit. In order to clean edges and corners, it is expedient to use a holding body with a working surface which is triangular in cross-section and has a tapering processing edge. In particular, the tapered machining edge engages particularly well in the hard to reach corners. A holding body with a cross-sectionally round processing surface and a round processing edge is advantageously suitable for cleaning joints, wherein the holding body can perform an alternating rolling movement when pulling through the joint. Here, not only the bottom of the joint is cleaned, but also the limiting joint walls.
Weiter ist vorgesehen, daß der Haltegriff eine im Querschnitt gesehen Ω-förmige Ausgestaltung aufweist, die sich in besonders ergonomischer Weise an die Handinnenfläche anlegen kann. Zur Einleitung des erforderlichen Druckes zur Durchbiegung der Bearbeitungsfläche und zur Führung des Haltekörpers bei seinen verschiedenen Reinigungsaufgaben weist der Haltegriff zwei zu seiner Mittelachse diametral gegenüberliegende, entgegengesetzt orientierte Druckstege auf, die senkrecht zum Haltekörper verlaufen. An diesen Druckstegen können sich vorteilhaft die Finger des Benutzers abstützen, so daß stets eine gezielte Kraft in den Haltekörper eingeleitet werden kann.It is further provided that the handle has a seen in cross-section Ω-shaped configuration that can create in a particularly ergonomic manner to the palm of the hand. To initiate the required pressure for bending the processing surface and for guiding the holding body in its various cleaning tasks, the handle has two diametrically opposite to its central axis, oppositely oriented pressure ridges, which extend perpendicular to the holding body. Advantageously, the fingers of the user can be supported on these pressure bars, so that a targeted force can always be introduced into the holding body.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist an den jeweils freien Enden der Druckstege ein senkrecht von diesen abstehender Fortsatz angeordnet, der parallel zum Haltekörper verläuft und zur Bearbeitungskante orientiert ist. An den Fortsätzen kann der Haltekörper und das Reinigungselement zusätzlich mit dem Haltegriff verklemmt werden.In an advantageous development, a projection projecting perpendicularly from these, which runs parallel to the holding body and is oriented towards the processing edge, is arranged at the respective free ends of the pressure webs. At the extensions of the holding body and the cleaning element can be additionally jammed with the handle.
Das erfindungsgemäße Bürstensystem eignet sich hervorragend für eine sorgfältige Fahrzeugreinigung. Vorteilhaft ist das Bürstensystem sowohl ideal für die Reinigung der Außenseite z.B. der Windschutzscheibe des Fahrzeugs zur Entfernung von starken Verschmutzungen wie z.B. Insektenbeschlag oder auch Fliegenkot etc. als auch für die Reinigung des Fahrzeuginneren wie z. B. Fensterecken oder -schrägen oder des Interieurs effizient einsetzbar. Weiterhin ist das erfindungsgemäße Bürstensystem enorm vielseitig einsetzbar. Vorteilhaft lassen sich kleine Fenster und Fensterrahmen in Haushalt effizient reinigen. Denkbar ist aber auch der Einsatz zur Kühlschrankinnenreinigung. Mittels des steifen, aber elastischen Haltekörpers liegt das Bürstensystem selbst an abgerundeten Flächen flächig an.The brush system according to the invention is ideal for a thorough vehicle cleaning. Advantageously, the brush system is ideal both for cleaning the outside of the windscreen of the vehicle for removing heavy soiling such as insects or fly mosquitoes, etc. as well as for cleaning the vehicle interior such. B. window corners or bevels or the interior can be used efficiently. Furthermore, the brush system according to the invention is enormously versatile. Advantageously, small windows and window frames can be cleaned efficiently in the home. It is also conceivable, however, the use of refrigerator interior cleaning. By means of the stiff, but elastic holding body, the brush system lies flat on even rounded surfaces.

Figur 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Bürstensystem 1 mit einem von einem Haltegriff 2 gehaltenen Haltekörper 3. An dem Haltekörper 3 ist ein Reinigungselement 4 in einer ersten Gebrauchsposition 6 festgelegt.FIG. 1 shows a brush system 1 according to the invention with a holding body 3 held by a handle 2. A cleaning element 4 is fixed in a first use position 6 on the holding body 3.
Das Reinigungselement 4 ist ein Reinigungsplüsch, wobei das Reinigungselement 4 röhr- oder schlauchförmig ausgebildet ist und den Haltekörper 3 umgibt. Das Reinigungselement 4 ist in Figur 1 schraffiert dargestellt.The cleaning element 4 is a cleaning plush, wherein the cleaning element 4 is tubular or tubular and surrounds the holding body 3. The cleaning element 4 is shown hatched in FIG.
In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform weist der Haltekörper 3 eine im Querschnitt gesehen rechteckige Bearbeitungsfläche 7 mit zwei geraden Bearbeitungskanten 8,9 auf. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Bearbeitungsfläche sind in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt. In Figur 3 weist der Haltekörper 3 eine im Querschnitt gesehen dreieckige Bearbeitungsfläche 11 mit einer spitz zulaufenden Bearbeitungskante 12 auf, wobei der Haltekörper 3 gemäß Figur 4 eine im Querschnitt gesehen runde Bearbeitungsfläche 13 mit einer runden Bearbeitungskante 14 aufweist.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the holding body 3 has a processing surface 7, seen in cross-section, with two straight processing edges 8, 9. Further advantageous embodiments of Processing surface are shown in Figures 3 and 4. In FIG. 3, the holding body 3 has a cross-sectionally triangular processing surface 11 with a tapering processing edge 12, wherein the holding body 3 according to FIG. 4 has a round processing surface 13 with a round processing edge 14.
In den Figuren 3 und 4 weisen die Bearbeitungsflächen 11 und 13 in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung zudem zunächst gerade verlaufende Bearbeitungskanten 9 auf, die in die Bearbeitungskanten 12 und 14 übergehen. Vorteile zu dieser Ausgestaltung werden weiter unten näher erläutert.In FIGS. 3 and 4, the machining surfaces 11 and 13 also have, in an advantageous development, initially straight machining edges 9 which merge into the machining edges 12 and 14. Advantages of this embodiment will be explained in more detail below.
Der Haltegriff 2 ist im Querschnitt gesehen Ω-förmig mit einer Einführöffnung 15 ausgebildet (Figur 2). An seiner Innenseite 16 sind Klemmnasen 17 angeordnet. Die Klemmnasen 17 greifen kraftformschlüssig in nicht dargestellte seitliche Vertiefungen in dem Haltekörper 3 ein und verklemmen das Reinigungselement 4 zwischen dem Haltegriff 2 und dem Haltekörper 3. Der Haltegriff 2 weist zwei zu seiner Mittelachse Y-Y diametral gegenüberliegende Druckstege 18 auf. Die Druckstege 18 sind zueinander entgegengesetzt orientiert und verlaufen senkrecht zum Haltekörper 3. In einer in Figur 1 dargestellten vorteilhaften Weiterbildung weisen die Druckstege 18 an ihren jeweils freien Enden 19 jeweils einen Fortsatz 21 auf. Die Fortsätze 21 verlaufen parallel zu dem Haltekörper 3 und sind in Richtung zur Bearbeitungskante 8, 12 oder 14 orientiert. Hierbei ist nun besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Bearbeitungsflächen 11 und 13 wie oben erwähnt zunächst die gerade Bearbeitungskante 9 aufweisen. Die Fortsätze 21 greifen ebenfalls kraftformschlüssig an dem Haltekörper 3 an, so daß das Reinigungselement 4 auch zwischen den Fortsätzen 21 des Haltegriffs 2 und dem Haltekörper 3 verklemmt ist.The handle 2 is seen in cross-section Ω-shaped with an insertion opening 15 (Figure 2). On its inner side 16 clamping lugs 17 are arranged. The clamping lugs 17 engage frictionally in unillustrated lateral recesses in the holding body 3 and clamp the cleaning element 4 between the handle 2 and the holding body 3. The handle 2 has two to its central axis Y-Y diametrically opposite pressure ridges 18. In one advantageous embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the pressure webs 18 each have an extension 21 at their respective free ends 19. The extensions 21 extend parallel to the holding body 3 and are oriented in the direction of the machining edge 8, 12 or 14. In this case, it is particularly advantageous if the processing surfaces 11 and 13, as mentioned above, initially have the straight processing edge 9. The extensions 21 also engage positively-lockingly on the holding body 3, so that the cleaning element 4 is clamped between the extensions 21 of the handle 2 and the holding body 3.
Der Haltekörper 3 weist einen sich an die jeweilige Bearbeitungsfläche 7,11 ,13 anschließenden Hals 22 auf, an dem sich ein zur Innenseite 16 des Haltegriffs 2 komplementär ausgestalteter Kopf 23 anschließt. Der Kopf 23 kann einen geringfügig kleineren Umfang aufweisen als die Innenseite des Haltegriffs 2.

The head 23 may have a slightly smaller circumference than the inside of the handle 2. In the neck 22, the lateral recesses, not shown, are arranged.
Zum Zusammenbau des Bürstensystems 1 wird nun zunächst das Reinigungselement 4 um den Haltekörper 3 gezogen. Zur Einführung des Haltekörpers 3 mit dem diesen umgebenden Reinigungselement 4 in den Haltegriff 2 wird dieser aufgebogen, so daß der Haltekörper 3 mit seinem Kopf 23 durch die Einführöffnung 15 eingeschoben werden kann. Eine beispielhafte Aufbiegung des Haltegriffs 2 ist in Figur 5 dargestellt. Nachdem der Kopf 23 in den Haltegriff 2 eingeführt ist, kehrt der Haltegriff 2 in seine ursprüngliche Position zurück. Mittels der Klemmnasen 17 greift der Haltegriff 2 in die seitlichen Vertiefungen des Haltekörpers 3 kraftformschlüssig ein. Damit ist das Reinigungselement 4 zwischen dem Haltekörper 3 und dem Haltegriff 2 verklemmt. Zum Überführen des Reinigungselementes 4 aus der ersten Gebrauchsposition 6 in die zweite oder jeweils folgende Gebrauchsposition wird der Haltegriff 2 lediglich aufgebogen, so daß das Reinigungselement 4 frei drehbar ist, da die kraftformschlüssige Verbindung aufgehoben ist. To assemble the brush system 1, the cleaning element 4 is first pulled around the holding body 3. To introduce the holding body 3 with this surrounding cleaning element 4 in the handle 2 it is bent, so that the holding body 3 can be inserted with its head 23 through the insertion opening 15. An exemplary bend of the grab handle 2 is shown in FIG. After the head 23 is inserted into the handle 2, the handle 2 returns to its original position. By means of the clamping lugs 17 of the handle 2 engages in the lateral recesses of the holding body 3 kraftformschlüssig a. Thus, the cleaning element 4 is clamped between the holding body 3 and the handle 2. For transferring the cleaning element 4 from the first use position 6 in the second or subsequent use position of the handle 2 is only bent so that the cleaning element 4 is free to rotate, since the kraftformschlüssige connection is repealed.
