Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adjustable broom, which has the special feature of incorporating a mechanism, based on which it can be achieved that the corresponding broom bristles emerge at a greater or lesser length through the orifices of a plate connected to the broom casing.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a broom which can be used as a normal sweeping brush when the bristles emerge in their greater length and a broom for sweeping grime, with total emergence of the bristles in the first case and partial emergence of the bristles in the second case.
  • patent US 3795024 discloses the head of a broom with said characteristics, basically comprising an upper casing, an intermediate plate holding the corresponding bristles, which is fixed to the casing via an interlock gear, and a lower grille whereby the bristles emerge, said grille being connected to the body via a tubular threaded portion emerging from the inner side of the grille, which goes through the intermediate plate and screws onto an inner neck of the casing.
  • patent US 3803663 discloses another broom with characteristics similar to those stated in the aforementioned United States patent, so that in this second patent 38036663 , an intermediate part is included between the casing and the bristle support plate with a neck which is connected to a grille rod, whereby the bristles emerge, which is connected by a rib of that neck which is located in a helicoidal cavity established in the grille rod, so that the rotation in one or the other direction of said part involves the inwards or outwards displacement of the grille and, therefore, the greater or lesser emergence of the bristles.
  • the mechanism is complicated with respect to the previous patent, in addition to also requiring additional means to fix and assemble the handle.
  • Said mechanism is problematic, or at least uncomfortable for the user, who should manipulate or actuate it to have bristles with greater or lesser emergence.
  • the broom of the invention also being based on a casing, with a bristle support plate and a grille whereby the bristles emerge, has the special feature of incorporating a rotating part that is positioned on the upper part of the casing, specifically in a window established for this purpose therein and which may be positioned by rotation in perpendicular position to the casing or in oblique position, so that said part has pins which are connected to the bristle support plate in order that, according to the position thereof, said plate displaces upwards or downwards with respect to the casing and therefore performs a partial concealment of the bristles with respect to the grille, or a total emergence.
  • the broom of the invention has the special feature that said rotating part, and based on which a greater or lesser emergence of the bristles is attained, forms the fixing support by screwing the corresponding broom handle, so that the vertical position of said handle corresponds to the downwards displacement of the bristle support plate, and in consequence, the total emergence thereof, whilst in oblique or inclined position of the handle with respect to the casing, it rotates or turns the part which forms the mechanism and with it the inward retraction of the bristle support plate, and therefore the shortening of the bristles.
  • the broom of the invention and more specifically the head thereof, comprises a general casing (1), a plate (2) which is mounted on the inside of the casing (1), and whose plate (2) holds the corresponding bristles (not represented), having bushings (3) whereon flexible elements (4) are positioned belonging to the casing (1) and which tend to constantly push towards the outside of the plate (2).
  • Said head is complemented with a grille (5) provided with a plurality of orifices (6) whereby the corresponding bristles emerge which are joined to the lower side of the support plate (2), this grille (5) being permanently fixed on the lower part or edge of the casing (1).
  • the novelty of the invention is the incorporation of a part (7) by way of a guard and internally provided with a thread (8) for the fixing of the corresponding handle (9), having provided that said part (7) has diametrically opposed protuberances (10) on an external part, which can be positioned in cavities (11) established in the casing, corresponding to a vertical position of the part (7) and therefore of the handle (9), or instead position these diametric protuberances (10) in indentations (12) of the casing (1), both the part (7) and the handle (9) remaining in an inclined position, as is represented in figure 5 .
  • the part (1) also has lower lugs (13) with orifices wherein protuberances (14) belonging to the bushings (3) of the support plate are fitted, in this way the part (7) being able to turn in its assembly.
  • said part (7) by virtue of its characteristics and assembly can turn and holds a vertical position as is represented in figures 2 and 3 , and which logically corresponds to a vertical position of the handle (9), so that in that position, the bristle support plate (2) is projected downwards, i.e. until making contact with the grille (5), in which case, the bristles corresponding to that plate (2) totally emerge with respect to the broom head unit, constituting a normal sweeping brush, i.e. for soft surfaces.
  • the part (7) may hold, by virtue of its rotation, an inclined position as is represented in figures 4 and 5 , in which case, logically the handle (9) is also inclined, so that this rotation of the part (7) involves the dragging and upwards displacement of the plate (2), so that the bristles thereof will be shortened with respect to the grille (5), emerging in a shorter length, which constitutes a harder brush for dirty surfaces.
