Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Haaren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for removing hair according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Das Entfernen von Haaren aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, Badewannen oder Duschwannen ist nach Benützung der entsprechenden Waschbecken oder Wannen eine notwendige aber gemeinhin lästige Aufgabe, um Verstopfungen zu vermeiden und ein problemloses Ablaufen des Wassers durch den Abfluss und das Abflussrohr zu gewährleisten. Mit dem ablaufenden Wasser werden in diesem vorhandene Haare und sonstige Verunreinigungen mit in den Abfluss gezogen, wobei sich insbesondere Haare häufig zu Knäueln verwirren und an Ecken, Kanten oder anderen Unebenheiten oder Vorsprüngen, die an Einläufen von Abflüssen oder den zugehörigen Rohrteilen vorhanden sind, hängen bleiben. Die Entfernung solcher Haarrückstände in Abflusseinläufen und/oder Abflussrohren ist eine unangenehme und manchmal nicht ganz einfach zu bewerkstelligende Aufgabe, da ein Waschbeckenstopfen häufig mit einer in dem Abflussrohr vorhandenen Stangenmechanik bewegt wird. Diese Stangenmechanik erstreckt sich oft erheblich in das Abflussrohr hinein, so dass Haare, die an dieser Mechanik hängen bleiben, häufig nicht ohne Hilfsmittel erreicht werden können. Vielfach werden deshalb zum Entfernen der Haare Pinzetten oder ähnliche Gegenstände verwendet, die in das Abflussrohr eingebracht werden können, was jedoch die Gefahr birgt, dass dieses Hilfsmittel in das Abflussrohr fallen und dieses zusätzlich verstopfen.The removal of hair from drains, especially from sinks, bathtubs or shower trays is a necessary but generally annoying task after use of the corresponding sinks or tubs, to avoid blockages and to ensure easy drainage of the water through the drain and the drainpipe. With the draining water in this existing hair and other contaminants are drawn into the drain, in particular, hair often confused to tangles and at corners, edges or other bumps or protrusions that are present at inlets of drains or the associated pipe parts hang stay. The removal of such hair debris in drains and / or drains is an awkward and sometimes uneasy task, since a sink plug is often moved with a rod mechanism present in the drainpipe. This rod mechanism often extends considerably into the drainage tube, so that hair that sticks to this mechanism, often can not be achieved without tools. In many cases therefore tweezers or similar objects are used to remove the hair, which can be introduced into the drain pipe, but this carries the risk that this aid fall into the drain pipe and this clogged in addition.

Bei Abflusseinläufen, die mit einem mit Öffnungen versehenem Sieb abgedeckt sind, fließen die beim Ablaufen des Wassers in diesem vorhandenen Haare darüber hinaus nicht nur in eine Öffnung, sondern in der Regel, je nach Länge des Haares in mehrere Öffnungen gleichzeitig und verfangen sich auf diese Weise in dem Sieb, wobei sich die Haare jedoch aufgrund der beim Ablaufen des Wassers entstehenden Wasserwirbel oft unterhalb des Siebs mit ihren Enden regelrecht verknoten, so dass eine Entfernung der Haare nicht ohne weiteres möglich ist.In drain drains, which are covered with an apertured sieve, the existing in the expiration of the water in this hair beyond not only in an opening, but usually, depending on the length of the hair in several openings simultaneously and catch on this Way in the sieve, the hair but due to the water swirls arising during the drainage of water often below the sieve literally knot with their ends, so that a removal of the hair is not readily possible.

Des weiteren ist es bisher praktisch immer notwendig die zu entfernenden Haare mit der Hand anzufassen, was oft eine unangenehme und unhygienische Tätigkeit ist, die deshalb häufig vernachlässigt wird, so dass die Abflüsse durch weitere mit dem Ablaufwasser ablaufende Haare immer stärker verstopft werden und eine Reinigung immer problematischer wird.Furthermore, it is practically always necessary to handle the hair to be removed by hand, which is often an unpleasant and unhygienic activity, which is why often is neglected, so that the outflows are increasingly blocked by more running with the drainage hair hairs and a cleaning is increasingly problematic.

Die US 6,131,229 hat eine biegsame Rohrreinigungsvorrichtung zum Gegenstand, wobei ein flexibles Seil tief in ein gebogenes Rohr eingeführt wird und mit an seinem Ende befestigten Widerhaken Verunreinigungen aufgreifen kann.The US 6,131,229 has a flexible pipe cleaning device to the object, wherein a flexible rope is inserted deep into a bent tube and can pick up with fastened at its end barbs impurities.

Gegenstand der US 5,769,960 ist ebenfalls ein flexibles Rohrreinigungsgerät, welches den Biegungen eines Rohrs folgen und mit Hilfe von an seinem Ende angeordneten Hervorstehungen Schmutz innerhalb des Rohrs beseitigen kann.Subject of the US 5,769,960 is also a flexible pipe cleaning device that can follow the bends of a pipe and eliminate dirt within the pipe by means of protrusions located at its end.

Die US 1,751,415 hat eine biegsame Vorrichtung zur Reinigung von gewundenen Rohren zum Gegenstand, an deren Ende abkippbare Gewindestangen vorgesehen sind.The US 1,751,415 has a flexible device for cleaning wound pipes on the subject at the end of tiltable threaded rods are provided.

Die in den genannten US Schriften beschriebenen Vorrichtungen eignen sich zur Reinigung gebogener Rohrabschnitte.The devices described in the mentioned US documents are suitable for cleaning bent pipe sections.

Gegenstand der US 5,836,032 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Entfernung von Haaren aus einem Abfluss, welche einen stabförmigen Haltestab aufweist und der Entfernung von Haaren unmittelbar aus dem Abflussbereich dient. Diese Vorrichtung weist an ihrem Ende eine Vielzahl hakenförmiger Hervorstehungen auf, die nach hinten gekrümmt sind und die Gestalt einer Bürste bilden.Subject of the US 5,836,032 is a device for removing hair from a drain which has a rod-shaped holding bar and serves to remove hair directly from the drainage area. This device has at its end a plurality of hook-shaped protrusions, which are curved backwards and form the shape of a brush.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kostengünstige Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zum Entfernen von Haaren oder dergleichen wickelbarer Verunreinigungen aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, sowie Bade- und Duschwannen zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche die vorgenannten Probleme löst.The invention is based on the object, a cost-effective device and a method for removing hair or the like windable impurities To provide drains, in particular from drains of sinks, and bath and shower trays available, which solves the above problems.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is achieved by a device having the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the dependent claims.

Ein wesentlicher Punkt der Erfindung liegt darin, dass der Haltestab stabförmig, also lang gestreckt, ausgebildet ist und ein Einführen in Abflussrohre ermöglicht. Am Funktionsende des Haltestabs sind umfänglich zumindest zwei Stifte angeordnet. Mit diesen Stiften können Haare, die sich bereits im Abflussrohr oder an dessen Einlauf befinden eingefangen bzw. eingesammelt werden. Dies wird üblicherweise dadurch erreicht, dass der Haltestab gemeinsam mit den fix an diesem befestigten Stiften zumindest etwas gedreht wird. Die Drehung kann in einer hin- und her Drehung, aber auch in einer ein- oder mehrmaligen vollen Umdrehung bestehen.An essential point of the invention is that the support rod is rod-shaped, so elongated, formed and allows insertion into drain pipes. At the functional end of the retaining rod circumferentially at least two pins are arranged. With these pins, hair that is already in the drainpipe or at its inlet can be caught or collected. This is usually achieved in that the holding rod is at least slightly rotated together with the fixedly attached to this pins. The rotation can consist in a back and forth rotation, but also in a one or more full turn.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist es möglich, den stabförmigen Haltestab so weit in das Abflussrohr des Wasch- oder Spülbeckens bzw. der Bade- oder Duschwanne einzuführen, dass ein effektives Entfernen der darin befindlichen Haare oder sonstiger Verunreinigungen, wie beispielsweise von aufgeweichtem Papier und/oder Gegenständen, die sich gemeinsam mit den Haaren in dem Abflussrohr verfangen haben, möglich ist.Advantageously, it is possible to introduce the rod-shaped holding rod so far into the drainage pipe of the washing or sink or the bath or shower tray, that effectively removing the hair or other contaminants therein, such as softened paper and / or objects that are caught in the drain pipe together with the hair is possible.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Stifte an dem Haltestab in verschiedenen Ebenen angeordnet. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet dies, dass die Stifte im Endbereich, insbesondere Funktionsabschnitt, des Haltestabs in unterschiedlichem Abstand vom Ende des Haltestabs angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich den Wirkbereich des Funktionsabschnitts zu vergrößern, so dass gleichzeitig ein größerer Bereich bzw. Abschnitt des Abflussrohres gereinigt werden kann.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pins are arranged on the support rod in different planes. In other words, this means that the pins in the end region, in particular functional portion, of the holding rod are arranged at different distances from the end of the holding rod. In this way, it is possible to increase the effective range of the functional section, so that at the same time a larger area or section of the drainage pipe can be cleaned.

Des weiteren sind die Stifte in vorteilhafter Weise hakenförmig, insbesondere widerhakenförmig und/oder in der Art von Klett-Haken ausgebildet, so dass ein Hängen bleiben von in dem Abflussrohr oder Abflusssieb befindlichen Haaren leichter möglich ist.Furthermore, the pins are advantageously hook-shaped, in particular barb-shaped and / or designed in the manner of hook-and-loop, so that it is easier to hang from hairs located in the drainage tube or drainage sieve.

Die Stifte sind an dem Funktionsabschnitt im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig angeordnet, wobei auch eine leichte Aufwärtsorientierung in Richtung eines Halteabschnitts des Haltestabs vorteilhaft sein kann, da bei einer solchen Anordnung beim Zurückziehen des Haltestabs aus dem Abflussrohr eine gewisser Fang- bzw. Sammeleffekt auf in dem Abflussrohr vorhandene Haare ausgeübt wird.The pins are arranged substantially at right angles to the functional section, whereby a slight upward orientation in the direction of a holding section of the retaining bar may also be advantageous, since with such an arrangement, when the retaining bar is withdrawn from the drainage pipe, some collecting effect will be present in the drainage tube Hair is exercised.

Alternativ ist es möglich, dass die Stifte an dem Funktionsabschnitt in einem Winkel im Bereich von 10° bis 70°, vorzugsweise im Bereich von 20° bis 50°, und besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 50° bis 40° angeordnet sind. Mit dieser Ausführungsform ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich die Stifte in Öffnungen eines Siebes, dass am Abflusseinlauf vorhanden ist, einzuführen. In diesem Fall sind die Stifte vorzugsweise haken- oder widerhakenförmig ausgebildet oder weisen zusätzliche Widerhaken auf, an denen sich die in dem Abfluss bzw. Sieb befindlichen Haare verfangen können.Alternatively, it is possible that the pins are arranged on the functional portion at an angle in the range of 10 ° to 70 °, preferably in the range of 20 ° to 50 °, and particularly preferably in the range of 50 ° to 40 °. With this embodiment, it is advantageously possible to insert the pins into openings of a screen that is present at the drain inlet. In this case, the pins are preferably hook-shaped or barb-shaped or have additional barbs on which the hairs located in the drain or sieve can get caught.

Selbstverständlich können auch an dem Funktionsabschnitt im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig angeordnete Stifte mit Widerhaken versehen sein.Of course, it is also possible for barbs to be provided on the functional section substantially at right angles.

Der Funktionsabschnitt ist mit dem Haltestab lösbar, insbesondere steck- und/oder schraubbar, verbunden. Auf diese Weise ist eine einfache Reinigung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Haaren oder dergleichen wickelbaren Verunreinigung aus Abflüssen möglich, indem der Funktionsabschnitt einfach von dem Haltestab gelöst und durch einen neuen Funktionsabschnitt ersetzt wird. Der verschmutzte Funktionsabschnitt kann anschließend entweder separat gereinigt oder entsorgt werden. Die Befestigung des Funktionsabschnitts an dem Haltestab kann beispielsweise mittels einer Rast- und/oder Schnappverbindung hintersichert werden, um ein unbeabsichtigtes Abrutschen des Funktionsabschnittes von dem Haltestab zu vermeiden.The functional portion is releasably connected to the holding rod, in particular plug and / or screw connected. In this way, a simple cleaning of the device according to the invention for removing hair or the like windable contamination from drains is possible by the functional section is simply detached from the support rod and replaced by a new functional section. The soiled functional section can then either be cleaned or disposed of separately. The attachment of the functional portion to the support rod can be backed up, for example by means of a latching and / or snap connection in order to prevent accidental slipping of the functional portion of the support rod.

Vorteilhaft ist ein Haltestab aus Kunststoff, Metall und/oder Holz und die Stifte aus einem starren Material insbesondere aus Metall oder einem festen Kunststoff ausgebildet, wobei der Haltestab insbesondere auch schlauchförmig flexibel sein kann, um ein tieferes Einführen desselben in ggf. gewinkelte Abflussrohre zu ermöglichen.Advantageously, a support rod made of plastic, metal and / or wood and the pins of a rigid material, in particular made of metal or a solid plastic, the support rod in particular can also be flexible hose to allow deeper insertion of the same in possibly angled drain pipes ,

Des weiteren ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Stifte sowie ggf. die zusätzlichen Widerhaken antirutschbeschichtet und/oder aufgerauht sind, um eine möglichst optimierte Fang- bzw. Sammeleigenschaft derselben zu gewährleisten.Furthermore, the invention provides that the pins and possibly the additional barbs are anti-slip coated and / or roughened to ensure the best possible catch or collection property thereof.

Gemäß einer besonders einfachen Ausführungsform sind die Stifte durch jeweilige an dem Haltestab, insbesondre Funktionsabschnitt, vorgesehene Bohrungen geführt und in diesen fixiert; eine alternative Variante besteht darin, die Stifte an dem Haltestab, insbesondere Funktionsabschnitt, dadurch zu befestigen, dass diese in den Abschnitt des Haltestabs eingesteckt und/oder eingeschraubt sind.According to a particularly simple embodiment, the pins are guided through respective bores provided on the holding bar, in particular the functional section, and fixed therein; an alternative variant is to attach the pins to the retaining bar, in particular functional section, by inserting and / or screwing it into the section of the retaining bar.
