Abstract

The brush (10) has a brush part (10a) arranged along a central core (10b) of the brush, and including a set of bristles (10c). An end brush part (10d) is arranged against a gripping handle, and forms bristle tufts (10e). Hardnesses of the brush part and the end brush part are different by defining soft and hard fibers allowing to have the brush parts with different characteristics so as to be adapted to zones of a container based on location of the zones. Hardness degree is given by diameter of the fibers of the corresponding brush parts.

Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des goupillons présentant une ou des parties de brossage pour le nettoyage de récipients du type biberons et similaires.The invention relates to the technical sector of the brushes having one or more brushing parts for cleaning containers such as baby bottles and the like.

Il est bien connu que le remplissage des récipients du type biberons par du lait ou un liquide similaire peut laisser, après absorption du produit par l'enfant, des grumeaux ou autres particules de déchets en fond du biberon ou dans la zone de raccordement entre le corps du biberon et le col de ce dernier. En cas d'absorption d'autres liquides, selon la nature de ceux-ci, un phénomène similaire apparaît.It is well known that the filling of the bottles of the bottle type with milk or a similar liquid may leave, after absorption of the product by the child, lumps or other particles of waste at the bottom of the bottle or in the connection zone between the bottle. body of the bottle and the collar of the latter. In case of absorption of other liquids, according to the nature of these, a similar phenomenon appears.

Dans ces conditions, et à des fins d'hygiène, on utilise généralement des goupillons qui sont représentés à titre d'exemple de l'art antérieur figure 1. Ces goupillons peuvent être agencés de manière classique avec un manche de préhension (1a) se prolongeant en extrémité par une partie brosse (1b). Cette brosse est constituée de plusieurs spires de poils disposées radialement à partir d'une âme centrale (1c) pour venir en contact avec l'intérieur du biberon. Le maintien des spires de poils s'effectue de manière connue par tout procédé de fabrication de tressage et de mise en forme. En extrémité opposée au manche, le goupillon peut aussi présenter des touffes de poils (1d) qui sont solidaires à l'âme centrale par agrafage ou similaire. Selon l'art antérieur, la brosse ainsi réalisée, aussi bien dans sa partie longitudinale le long de l'âme centrale, que dans sa partie d'extrémité avant en forme de touffes de poils, est réalisée à partir de poils de mêmes caractéristiques techniques et dimensionnelles (longueur, diamètre, matériaux), qui ont donc un toucher identique et homogène. Ces caractéristiques sont données pour avoir le même effet en toute partie du récipient ou du biberon traité.Under these conditions, and for hygienic purposes, it is generally used brushes which are represented by way of example of the prior art figure 1 . These brushes can be arranged in a conventional manner with a handle (1a) extending at the end by a brush portion (1b). This brush consists of several turns of bristles arranged radially from a central core (1c) to come into contact with the inside of the bottle. The maintenance of the hair turns is carried out in a known manner by any method of manufacturing braiding and shaping. At the end opposite the handle, the brush may also have tufts of bristles (1d) which are secured to the central core by stapling or the like. According to the prior art, the brush thus produced, both in its longitudinal part along the central core and in its front end portion in the form of tufts of bristles, is made from bristles of the same technical characteristics. and dimensional (length, diameter, materials), which therefore an identical and homogeneous touch. These features are given to have the same effect in any part of the container or processed baby bottle.

On connaît aussi des goupillons dits « 2 en 1 » commercialisés par le Demandeur qui prévoient un agencement du manche du goupillon pour recevoir à titre complémentaire une brosse de très petite dimension, outre la brosse principale extérieure.There are also known "2 in 1" brushes marketed by the Applicant which provide an arrangement of the handle of the brush to receive complementarily a brush of very small size, in addition to the outer main brush.

En pratique, il s'avère que l'utilisation de goupillons de ce genre présente certains inconvénients essentiellement dans l'insuffisance de qualité du nettoyage de certaines parties intérieures du biberon, en particulier dans les zones d'angles et près du col d'ouverture du biberon dans la zone de raccordement avec le corps. Il en résulte un nettoyage insuffisant, en laissant la possibilité à des particules ou déchets de matières de s'incruster le long des parois correspondantes du biberon, avec toutes les sources de contamination en résultant.In practice, it turns out that the use of such brushes has some disadvantages mainly in the lack of quality cleaning of some inner parts of the bottle, especially in the corner areas and near the opening neck bottle in the area of connection with the body. This results in insufficient cleaning, leaving the possibility of particles or waste materials to become embedded along the corresponding walls of the bottle, with all sources of contamination resulting.

La démarche du Demandeur a donc été de rechercher une solution qui puisse améliorer les conditions de nettoyage des biberons (B).The Applicant's approach was therefore to find a solution that could improve the cleaning conditions of baby bottles (B).

La démarche initiale du Demandeur a ainsi été de s'orienter vers un aménagement du biberon lui-même et de ses parois intérieures pour supprimer toutes les zones de recoins ou d'accès difficile au nettoyage. Cela a abouti à la mise en oeuvre d'un biberon décrit dans le brevet français n° 2866561 . Cette solution s'est avérée peu satisfaisante, car la qualité du nettoyage bien qu'améliorée reste discutable et aléatoire, en fonction de la nature des déchets, particules et similaires.The initial approach of the Applicant was thus to move towards a layout of the bottle itself and its inner walls to remove all areas of nooks or difficult access to cleaning. This resulted in the implementation of a bottle described in the patent French number 2866561 . This solution has proved unsatisfactory, as the quality of cleaning, although improved, remains questionable and uncertain, depending on the nature of the waste, particles and the like.

Par ailleurs, si l'on considère le coût de fabrication des biberons, et aussi des goupillons qui sont des produits à bas coûts, en fabrication de très grandes séries, les possibilités d'adaptation restaient très limitées.Moreover, if we consider the cost of manufacturing baby bottles, and also the bottles that are low-cost products, in manufacturing very large series, the possibilities of adaptation remained very limited.

La démarche du Demandeur s'est donc orientée différemment pour répondre au problème posé de l'amélioration du nettoyage des biberons et réceptacles similaires.The Applicant's approach is therefore oriented differently to address the problem of improving the cleaning of bottles and similar containers.

Cette démarche a ainsi consisté à l'analyse de la fonction brossage.This approach consisted of analyzing the brushing function.

La solution apportée par le Demandeur, à priori simple à condition de poser le problème et d'y répondre, offre les avantages recherchés.The solution provided by the Applicant, a priori simple provided the problem and the answer, offers the desired benefits.

Le goupillon est ainsi remarquable en ce que la partie brosse disposée le long de l'âme centrale du goupillon en prolongement de son manche, et au moins la partie d'extrémité formant touffe de poils, présente des caractéristiques de dureté différente dues au choix sélectif des poils avec des fibres douces et des fibres dures permettant d'avoir des parties de brosses aux caractéristiques différentes pour s'adapter aux zones du récipient ou du biberon à nettoyer en fonction de leur emplacement, en ce que le degré de dureté est donné par le diamètre des fibres des poils des parties de brosse correspondantes.The brush is thus remarkable in that the brush portion disposed along the central core of the brush in extension of its handle, and at least the end portion forming a tuft of bristles, has characteristics of different hardness due to the selective choice bristles with soft fibers and hard fibers making it possible to have parts of brushes with different characteristics to adapt to the areas of the container or bottle to be cleaned according to their location, in that the degree of hardness is given by the fiber diameter of the bristles of the corresponding brush portions.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These and other characteristics will be apparent from the rest of the description.

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un goupillon selon l'art antérieur.
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un goupillon agencé selon l'invention.
  • la figure 3 est une vue d'un biberon recevant le goupillon selon l'invention pour son nettoyage.

For fixing the object of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner to the figures of the drawings where:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a brush according to the prior art.
  • the figure 2 is a perspective view of a brush arranged according to the invention.
  • the figure 3 is a view of a bottle receiving the brush according to the invention for cleaning.
  • the figure 4 is a view of a brush according to the invention in an alternative embodiment.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

Le goupillon selon l'invention est référencé dans son ensemble par (10), et il peut être simple ou dans une conception 2 en 1 avec un manche (10g) recevant une partie brosse de petite section.The brush according to the invention is referenced as a whole by (10), and it can be simple or in a 2-in-1 design with a handle (10g) receiving a brush portion of small section.

Selon l'invention, le goupillon (10) est remarquable en ce qu'il comprend une partie brosse (10a) disposée le long de son âme centrale (10b) avec une pluralité de poils (10c) réalisés en forme de fibres ayant des caractéristiques de dureté (d1) déterminées et au moins une partie brosse (10d) en partie d'extrémité avant sous forme de touffes de poils (10e) ayant des fibres de caractéristiques de dureté (d2) différentes et supérieures à ladite dureté (d1) de la partie centrale, et en ce que le degré de dureté est donné par le diamètre des fibres des poils constitutifs.According to the invention, the brush (10) is remarkable in that it comprises a brush part (10a) arranged along its central core (10b) with a plurality of bristles (10c) made in the form of fibers having characteristics of hardness (d1) determined and at least a brush portion (10d) at the front end portion in the form of tufts of bristles (10e) having fibers of different hardness characteristics (d2) and greater than said hardness (d1) of the central part, and in that the degree of hardness is given by the diameter of the fibers of the constituent bristles.

En variante, les poils (10c) disposés le long de ladite âme centrale sont de dureté supérieure aux poils (10e).Alternatively, the bristles (10c) disposed along said central core are of greater hardness than the bristles (10e).

Ainsi, selon l'invention, les poils (10c) sont constitués par des fibres dites douces dont le diamètre se situe entre 0,1 et 0,4 mm. Les poils (10e) sont constitués pour ces fibres dites dures entre 0,20 et 0,70 mm, et on observe qu'en fonction des fourchettes de diamètres précisés, les poils (10c) ont toujours un diamètre inférieur au diamètre des poils (10e) pour un même goupillon pour avoir ainsi sur ledit goupillon deux zones distinctes de dureté réellement différente pour accomplir la fonction recherchée.Thus, according to the invention, the bristles (10c) are constituted by so-called soft fibers whose diameter is between 0.1 and 0.4 mm. The bristles (10e) are constituted for these so-called hard fibers between 0.20 and 0.70 mm, and it is observed that according to the specified diameter ranges, the bristles (10c) always have a diameter smaller than the diameter of the bristles ( 10e) for the same brush to thus have on said brush two distinct zones of really different hardness to perform the desired function.

En considérant les valeurs ainsi données, un goupillon selon l'invention peut comprendre par exemple des poils de 0,10 mm pour la partie brosse (10a) le long de l'âme centrale (10b), et des poils d'au moins 0,20 mm pour les poils (10e) de la partie d'extrémité avant, mais aussi toute autre combinaison de dureté. Les poils constitutifs de la brosse prise dans son ensemble peuvent être en fibre polyamide connue sous la marque « nylon » ou en polypropylène ou autres matières.Considering the values thus given, a brush according to the invention may comprise, for example, bristles of 0.10 mm for the brush part (10a) along the central core (10b), and bristles of at least 0 , 20 mm for the bristles (10e) of the front end part, but also any other combination of hardness. The constituent bristles of the brush as a whole may be polyamide fiber known under the trademark "nylon" or polypropylene or other materials.

La longueur respective des différentes zones de poils du dureté différente (d1-d2) est déterminée en fonction des besoins.The respective lengths of the different bristle areas of different hardness (d1-d2) are determined as needed.

Par ailleurs, et sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le goupillon peut être aménagé non plus avec deux zones de brossage distinctes de dureté différenciée, mais par exemple avec trois zones (10a), (10d), (10f), incluant une alternance de dureté différente de poils disposés le long et en extrémité de l'âme centrale. Une configuration peut être en alternance poils durs (10d) - poils doux (10a) - poils durs (10f), ou inversement poils doux - poils durs - poils doux. La longueur de chacune des zones peut varier selon les besoins et les applications.Moreover, and without departing from the scope of the invention, the brush can be arranged either with two distinct brushing zones of differing hardness, but for example with three zones (10a), (10d), (10f), including a alternation of different hardness of hairs arranged along and at the end of the central core. One configuration can be alternating hard bristles (10d) - soft bristles (10a) - hard bristles (10f), or conversely soft bristles - hard bristles - soft bristles. The length of each zone may vary according to needs and applications.

Dans le cas d'un goupillon dit 2 en 1, comme exposé précédemment, on peut concevoir que chacune des brosses disposées sur l'âme centrale du corps du manche, mais aussi pour le petit goupillon s'intégrant dans le manche du goupillon principal, soient agencées selon l'invention avec la brosse selon l'invention avec un agencement de zones à poils durs, à poils doux.In the case of a so-called 2-in-1 brush, as described above, it is conceivable that each of the brushes arranged on the central core of the body of the handle, but also for the small brush integrating into the handle of the main brush, are arranged according to the invention with the brush according to the invention with an arrangement of areas with hard bristles, soft bristles.

La solution proposée par l'invention répond au problème posé et permet une qualité de nettoyage optimisée à l'intérieur des récipients du type biberon.The solution proposed by the invention responds to the problem posed and allows optimized cleaning quality inside the bottle-type containers.
