Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung mit wenigstens einem Bürstenteil, welches wenigstens einen mit Borsten bestückten Bürstenkopf in Form einer Flachbürste aufweist, und mit einer Wandhalterung zur Befestigung des Bürstenteils an einer Wand, insbesondere in einer Dusche oder dergleichen, oder an einem Objekt, insbesondere einer Stuhlrückenlehne oder dergleichen.The present invention relates to a washing and massage device having at least one brush part, which has at least one brush head equipped with bristles in the form of a flat brush, and with a wall bracket for fixing the brush part to a wall, in particular in a shower or the like, or to an object , in particular a chair back or the like.
Vor allem älteren Menschen oder Personen mit eingeschränkter Beweglichkeit bereitet es Schwierigkeiten, den Rückenbereich des eigenen Körpers mit den Händen zu erreichen, um diesen zu waschen oder zu massieren.Especially elderly people or people with limited mobility, it is difficult to reach the back of your body with your hands to wash or massage.
Herkömmlicherweise werden zu diesem Zweck langstielige Rückenbürsten verwendet, deren Handhabung für den genannten Personenkreis jedoch oftmals ebenfalls nur schwer zu bewerkstelligen ist.Conventionally, long-handled back brushes are used for this purpose, but their handling is often difficult to accomplish for the mentioned group of people.
Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, offenbart beispielsweise die
Aus der
Die vorstehend beschriebenen, vorbekannten Wasch- und Massagevorrichtungen sind jedoch in ihrer Ausgestaltung aufwändig und komplex und in ihrer Wasch- bzw. Massagewirkung beschränkt.However, the above-described prior art washing and massage devices are complex and complex in their design and limited in their washing or massage effect.
Der Erfindung liegt davon ausgehend die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung anzugeben, die sich durch einen vereinfachten, insbesondere kostengünstigeren Aufbau und eine verbesserte Wasch- bzw. Massagewirkung auszeichnet.The invention is based on the object to provide a washing and massage device, which is characterized by a simplified, in particular cost-effective design and improved washing or massage effect.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des beigefügten Patentanspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a washing and massage device with the features of the appended
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstands sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben, deren Wortlaut hiermit durch ausdrückliche Bezugnahme in die Beschreibung aufgenommen wird, um unnötige Textwiederholungen zu vermeiden.Advantageous developments of the subject invention are set forth in the subclaims, the wording of which is hereby incorporated by express reference into the description in order to avoid unnecessary text repetitions.
Die Erfindung schafft eine Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung mit wenigstens einem Bürstenteil, welches wenigstens einen mit Borsten bestückten Bürstenkopf in Form einer Flachbürste aufweist, und mit einer Wandhalterung zur Befestigung des Bürstenteils an einer Wand, insbesondere in einer Dusche oder dergleichen, oder an einem Objekt, insbesondere einer Stuhlrückenlehne oder dergleichen, bei der die Wandhalterung wenigstens zweiteilig ausgebildet ist, wobei ein erstes Halteteil der Wandhalterung zum Verbinden des Bürstenteils mit der Wandhalterung und ein zweites Halteteil der Wandhalterung zum Befestigen der Wandhalterung an der genannten Wand oder dem genannten Objekt ausgebildet ist, so dass der Bürstenkopf im Wesentlichen parallel zur Wandebene oder zu einer Befestigungsfläche des Objekts angeordnet ist.The invention provides a washing and massage device with at least one brush part, which has at least one brush head equipped with bristles in the form of a flat brush, and with a wall mount for fastening the brush part to a wall, in particular in a shower or the like, or to an object. in particular, a chair backrest or the like in which the wall mount is formed at least in two parts, wherein a first holding part of the wall mount is formed for connecting the brush part to the wall mount and a second holding part of the wall mount for attaching the wall mount to said wall or said object, so that the brush head is arranged substantially parallel to the wall plane or to a mounting surface of the object.
Anders als die vorbekannten Wasch- und Massagevorrichtungen verzichtet die vorliegende Erfindung ihrem Grundgedanken nach auf rotierende, walzenartige Rundbürsten und sieht einen mit Borsten bestückten Bürstenkopf nach Art einer Flachbürste vor, der zusammen mit dem Bürstenteil mittels der Wandhalterung parallel zu der Wandebene bzw. zu der Befestigungsfläche des Objekts befestigbar ist, um die angestrebte Wasch- und Massagewirkung zu erreichen.Unlike the previously known washing and massaging devices, the present invention dispenses with its basic idea on rotating, roller-like round brushes and sees a brush head equipped with bristles in the manner of a Flat brush ago, which is fastened together with the brush part by means of the wall bracket parallel to the wall plane or to the mounting surface of the object in order to achieve the desired washing and massage effect.
Zu diesem Zweck kann das Bürstenteil gemäß einer besonderen Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung parallel zu der Wandebene beweglich sein. Die genannte Beweglichkeit parallel zu der Wandebene umfasst neben einer vertikalen Auf- und Abbewegung insbesondere auch eine horizontale Hin- und Herbewegung, was im Wesentlichen von einer Orientierung der Wandhalterung an der Wand abhängt.For this purpose, the brush part according to a particular embodiment of the present invention may be movable parallel to the wall plane. In addition to a vertical up and down movement, said mobility parallel to the wall plane also includes, in particular, a horizontal reciprocating movement, which essentially depends on an orientation of the wall mount on the wall.
Der Begriff "beweglich" umfasst in diesem Zusammenhang einerseits eine Verschieb- bzw. Einstellbarkeit des Bürstenteils an oder in der Wandhalterung mit anschließender Fixierung oder Arretierung, woraufhin sich der Benutzer anschließend selbst relativ zu der erfindungsgemäßen Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung bewegt, um die angestrebte Wirkung zu erzielen. Andererseits umfasst der Begriff auch eine andauernde Bewegung des Bürstenteils an oder innerhalb der Wandhalterung in bzw. parallel zu der Wandebene zum Erzielen der angestrebten Wasch- und Massagewirkung.The term "movable" in this context comprises on the one hand a displacement or adjustability of the brush part on or in the wall bracket with subsequent fixation or locking, whereupon the user then moves itself relative to the washing and massage device according to the invention to the desired effect achieve. On the other hand, the term also includes a continuous movement of the brush part on or within the wall bracket in or parallel to the wall plane to achieve the desired washing and massage effect.
Im einfachsten Fall ist die Wandhalterung als zweiteiliges Element ausgebildet, welche bzw. welches ein erstes und ein zweites Halteteil umfasst. Bei den genannten Halteteilen muss es sich nicht um körperlich getrennte Elemente handeln. Beispielsweise weist bereits ein doppelseitiges Klebeband ein derartiges erstes und ein derartiges zweites Halteteil auf, wenn man die beiden Klebeflächen mit den genannten Halteteilen identifiziert. Gleiches gilt beispielsweise für eine Wandhalterung aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, die beidseitig mit Saugnäpfen ausgestattet ist, wobei die Saugnäpfe auf der einen Seite das erste Halteteil und die Saugnäpfe auf der anderen Seite das zweite Halteteil bilden.In the simplest case, the wall mount is designed as a two-part element which comprises a first and a second holding part. These holding parts do not have to be physically separate elements. For example, even a double-sided adhesive tape on such a first and such a second holding part, if one identifies the two adhesive surfaces with said holding parts. The same applies for example to a wall mount made of a plastic material which is equipped on both sides with suction cups, wherein the suction cups on one side the first holding part and the suction cups on the other side form the second holding part.
Eine solche Wandhalterung dient einerseits - mit dem ersten Halteteil - zum Verbinden des Bürstenheils mit der Wandhalterung und andererseits - mit dem zweiten Halteteil - zum Befestigen der Wandhalterung selbst an der Wand oder dem Objekt, an welcher bzw. welchem die erfindungsgemäße Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung angebracht werden soll.Such a wall bracket serves on the one hand - with the first holding part - for connecting the brush to the wall bracket and on the other - with the second holding part - for attaching the wall bracket itself to the wall or the object to which or which the washing and massage device according to the invention attached shall be.
Die beiden Halteteile der Wandhalterung lassen sich im Rahmen bestimmter Ausgestaltungen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu einer zusammengesetzten Wandhalterung verbinden oder zusammensetzen.The two holding parts of the wall mount can be connected or assembled in the context of certain embodiments of the present invention to form a composite wall mount.
Vorteilhafterweise umfasst die Wandhalterung im Zuge einer derartigen Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Klettverbindungssystem, bei welchem das eine Halteteil als Haken- oder Pilzelement oder dergleichen und das andere Halteteil als zum dem Haken- oder Pilzelement komplementäres Flausch-, Pilz- oder Velourselement ausgebildet ist. Im Zuge dieser Ausgestaltung lässt sich das eine Halteteil mit dem Bürstenteil verbinden, beispielsweise durch Kleben, Schrauben oder dergleichen, während das komplementäre Halteteil an der Wand oder dem Objekt angeordnet wird, ebenfalls beispielsweise durch Kleben, Schrauben oder dergleichen. Über das Klettverbindungssystem lässt sich dann die Wandhalterung zusammensetzen und die Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung leicht und ohne weiteres an der Wand oder dem Objekt befestigen.In the course of such an embodiment of the present invention, the wall mount advantageously comprises a hook-and-loop fastening system in which the one holding part is designed as a hook or mushroom element or the like and the other holding part is designed as a looping, mushroom or velor element which is complementary to the hook or mushroom element. In the course of this embodiment, the one holding part can be connected to the brush part, for example by gluing, screws or the like, while the complementary holding part is arranged on the wall or the object, also for example by gluing, screws or the like. About the Velcro connection system can then assemble the wall bracket and attach the washing and massage device easily and easily to the wall or the object.
Eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Wandhalterung bewirkt, dass zumindest die Verbindung zwischen erstem Halteteil und zweitem Halteteil eine insbesondere wiederholt lösbare Verbindung ist, so dass sich insbesondere das Bürstenteil der Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung nach Gebrauch durch Trennen der Wandhalterung wieder von der Wand oder dem Objekt entfernen lässt.Such a configuration of the wall mount causes at least the connection between the first holding part and the second holding part is a particularly repeatedly releasable connection, so that in particular the brush part of the washing and massage device can be removed after use by separating the wall bracket again from the wall or the object ,
Vorteilhafterweise ist eines der beiden Halteteile als selbstklebendes Hakenband und das andere der beiden Halteteile als selbstklebendes Flauschband ausgebildet. Zur Anbringung der erfindungsgemäßen Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung wird dann einfach eines der beiden Bänder an die Wand oder an das Objekt geklebt, während das andere der beiden Bänder auf die den Borsten abgewandte Rückseite des Bürstenkopfes bzw. des Bürstenteils geklebt wird. Ein Anbohren der Wand oder des Objekts zum Anschrauben der Vorrichtung ist folglich nicht erforderlich. Anschließend kann über das Klettverbindungssystem der Bürstenkopf bzw. das Bürstenteil an der Wand oder dem Objekt befestigt und nach Gebrauch wieder entfernt werden. Schrauben können sich dagegen insbesondere bei Verwendung in einer Dusche leicht mit Kalk oder anderen Ablagerungen zusetzen, wodurch ein Lösen erschwert oder gar unmöglich gemacht wird.Advantageously, one of the two holding parts is designed as a self-adhesive hook tape and the other of the two holding parts as a self-adhesive loop tape. To attach the washing and massage device according to the invention, one of the two strips is then simply glued to the wall or to the object, while the other of the two strips is glued to the back side of the brush head or the brush part facing away from the bristles. A drilling of the wall or the object for screwing the device is therefore not required. Subsequently, the brush head or the brush part can be attached to the wall or the object via the Velcro fastening system and removed again after use. Screws, however, especially when used in a shower easily with lime or others Add deposits, making solving difficult or even impossible.
Im Zuge der vorstehend erläuterten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die den Borsten abgewandte Rückseite des Bürstenkopfes im Wesentlichen flach ausgebildet ist, um eine möglichst gute Haltewirkung des Klettverbundssystems zu erreichen.In the course of the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it is advantageous if the back side facing away from the bristles of the brush head is substantially flat, in order to achieve the best possible holding effect of the Velcro system.
Im Zuge einer anderen Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst die Wandhalterung ein Profilteil, das im Querschnitt einseitig offen ist und somit einen im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Querschnitt besitzt. In diesem Profilteil kann ein Bürstenkörper, der mit dem genannten Bürstenkopf verbunden ist und mit diesem zusammen das Bürstenteil bildet, verschiebbar aufnehmbar sein, beispielsweise indem das C-förmige Profilteil mit den Enden seiner freien Schenkel in entsprechende seitliche oder rückseitige Ausnehmungen (Nuten) in dem Bürstenkörper eingreift.In the course of another development of the present invention, the wall mount comprises a profile part which is open on one side in cross section and thus has a substantially U-shaped cross-section. In this profile part, a brush body, which is connected to said brush head and forms together with the brush part, be slidably receivable, for example by the C-shaped profile part with the ends of its free legs in corresponding lateral or rear recesses (grooves) in the Brush body engages.
Um eine schnelle, einfache und dennoch dauerhafte Befestigung des Profilteils an der Wand oder dem Objekt zu ermöglichen, sieht eine andere Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstands vor, dass das Profilteil insbesondere an seiner Rückseite, ein Klebemittel umfasst, über welches es - beispielsweise nach Abziehen einer Schutzfolie - (selbst-)klebend an der Wand oder dem Objekt befestigbar ist. Allerdings ist die vorliegende Erfindung, wie der Fachmann erkennt, nicht auf eine derartige Befestigbarkeit des Profilteils beschränkt; vielmehr können hier auch alternative Befestigungsmöglichkeiten, wie die bereits angesprochene Schraubbefestigung, das weiter oben detailliert beschriebene Klettverbindungssystem oder dergleichen, zum Einsatz kommen.In order to enable a fast, simple and yet permanent attachment of the profile part to the wall or the object, another development of the subject invention provides that the profile part, in particular on its back, comprises an adhesive over which it - for example, after peeling off a protective film - (self-) adhesive to the wall or the object is attachable. However, as the skilled artisan will appreciate, the present invention is not limited to such fastenability of the profile member; Rather, here also alternative mounting options, such as the already mentioned screw fastening, the above-described in detail Velcro connection system or the like, are used.
Wie der Fachmann erkennt, kann bei Verwendung des vorstehend beschriebenen Profilteils dieses selbst bzw. der zum Aufnehmen des Bürstenkörpers dienende innere Bereich des Profils mit dem erfindungsgemäßen ersten Halteteil identifiziert werden, welches zum Verbinden des Bürstenteils mit der Wandhalterung dient. Entsprechend stellt dann der mittlere Schenkel des Profilteils bzw. dessen Rückseite das erfindungsgemäße zweite Halteteil der Wandhalterung dar, welches zum Befestigen der Wandhalterung an der Wand oder dem Objekt dient. Im einfachsten Teil bildet also das Profilteil selbst die Wandhalterung mitsamt erstem und zweitem Halteteil.As one skilled in the art will appreciate, when using the profiled member described above, this or the inner portion of the profile serving to receive the brush body can be identified with the first retainer member of the invention which serves to connect the brush member to the wall retainer. Accordingly, then the middle leg of the profile part or its back is the second holding part of the wall bracket according to the invention, which for fixing the wall bracket to the wall or the Object serves. In the simplest part so the profile part itself forms the wall bracket together with the first and second holding part.
Zusätzlich kann jedoch zwischen dem Profilteil und der Wand bzw. dem Objekt eine weitere Wandhalterung der weiter oben detailliert beschriebenen Art angeordnet sein, so beispielsweise in Form eines Doppelklebebands, eines Klettverbundssystems oder einer doppelseitigen Saugnapf-Anordnung. Erfindungswesentlich ist es in jedem Fall, dass sich auf diese Weise ein Bürstenkopf in Form einer Flachbürste derart bezüglich der Wand oder des Objekts anordnen lässt, dass sich der Bürstenkopf anschließend im Wesentlichen parallel zur Wandebene oder zu einer Befestigungsfläche des Objekts befindet.In addition, however, between the profile part and the wall or the object, a further wall mount of the type described in detail above can be arranged, for example in the form of a double adhesive tape, a Velcro system or a double-sided suction cup arrangement. In any case, it is essential to the invention that in this way a brush head in the form of a flat brush can be arranged with respect to the wall or the object such that the brush head is then substantially parallel to the wall plane or to a mounting surface of the object.
Um insbesondere den Bürstenkopf der Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung in einer gewünschten Höhe arretieren zu können, sieht eine andere Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstands vor, dass die Wandhalterung zum lösbaren Halten des Bürstenkörpers im Presssitz, durch Verklemmen, durch Verrasten oder dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Dazu kann die Wandhalterung das weiter oben beschriebene Profil umfassen, in welchem der Bürstenkörper entsprechend lösbar gehalten ist.In order in particular to be able to lock the brush head of the washing and massaging device at a desired height, another development of the subject invention provides that the wall mount is designed for releasably holding the brush body in a press fit, by clamping, by latching or the like. For this purpose, the wall mount may comprise the profile described above, in which the brush body is held correspondingly releasably.
Wenn die Wandhalterung - wie oben beschrieben - als U-förmiges Profilteil ausgebildet ist, kann das bewegliche Bürstenteil praktisch vollständig im Innern des Profilteils aufgenommen sein, so dass im Wesentlichen nur die Borsten des Bürstenkopfs durch die Öffnung in dem Profilteil aus diesem hinausragen, um die gewünschten Wasch- und Massagevorgänge ausüben zu können.If the wall mount - as described above - is designed as a U-shaped profile part, the movable brush part can be almost completely received in the interior of the profile part, so that essentially only the bristles of the brush head through the opening in the profile part protrude from this to the to perform desired washing and massage procedures.
Zum Bewegen des Bürstenteils können an diesem erste Mittel insbesondere in Form wenigstens eines Griffs oder Hebels vorgesehen sein. Die Bewegung des Bürstenteils erfolgt dabei vorzugsweise handbetätigt, das heißt ohne weitere elektrische Antriebsmittel oder dergleichen.To move the brush part can be provided on this first means, in particular in the form of at least one handle or lever. The movement of the brush part is preferably carried out manually, that is without further electrical drive means or the like.
Aus ergonomischen Gründen können die genannten Bewegungsmittel bezogen auf das Bürstenteil in ihrer Lage verstellbar, insbesondere verschwenkbar sein.For ergonomic reasons, the said movement means can be adjustable relative to the brush part in position, in particular be pivoted.
Um die Wasch- und Massagewirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung noch zu verbessern, sieht eine andere Weiterbildung derselben vor, dass zumindest ein Teil des Bürstenteils, insbesondere zumindest der Bürstenkopf, parallel zur Wandebene schwenkbar ist. Auch hierbei erfolgt das Verschwenken des Bürstenteils vorzugsweise in einem rein handbetätigten Modus, insbesondere über die weiter oben bereits erwähnten Griff- oder Hebelmittel.In order to improve the washing and massage effect of the device according to the invention, another development provides the same that at least a part of the brush part, in particular at least the brush head, is pivotable parallel to the wall plane. Again, the pivoting of the brush part is preferably carried out in a purely manual mode, in particular on the above-mentioned grip or lever means.
Im Zuge einer anderen Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung kann überdies vorgesehen sein, dass der Bürstenkopf relativ zu der Wandhalterung drehbar ist, wobei die Drehachse entweder senkrecht oder parallel zu der Wandebene orientiert sein kann.In the course of another embodiment of the washing and massage device according to the invention may also be provided that the brush head is rotatable relative to the wall bracket, wherein the axis of rotation can be oriented either perpendicular or parallel to the wall plane.
Auch die Drehbewegung des Bürstenkopfs ist vorzugsweise über handbetätigte Antriebsmittel bewirkt. In diesem Zusammenhang kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass der Bürstenkopf ein erstes Antriebsmittel aufweist, welches bei einer Bewegung des Bürstenteils relativ zu der Wandhalterung zum Drehen des Bürstenkopfs mit einem an bzw. in der Wandhalterung angeordneten zweiten Antriebsmittel zusammenwirkt.The rotational movement of the brush head is preferably effected via manually operated drive means. In this context, it can be provided in a development of the invention that the brush head has a first drive means which cooperates with a movement of the brush part relative to the wall bracket for rotating the brush head with a arranged on or in the wall bracket second drive means.
Im Zuge einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstands ist das erste Antriebsmittel als Zahnrad und das zweite Antriebsmittel als Zahnstange ausgebildet, und die miteinander in Eingriff stehen.In the course of a preferred embodiment of the subject invention, the first drive means is designed as a gear and the second drive means as a rack, and which are engaged with each other.
Um eine optimale ergonomische Einstellbarkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung zu erreichen, sieht eine andere Weiterbildung derselben vor, dass zumindest das Bürstenteil in seiner Länge veränderbar oder teleskopierbar ist.In order to achieve an optimal ergonomic adjustability of the washing and massage device according to the invention, another development provides the same that at least the brush part is variable in its length or telescopic.
Eine andere, grundlegende Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung sieht vor, dass wenigstens ein das Bürstenteil aufnehmender Teil der Wandhalterung und/oder das Bürstenteil selbst um eine Längsachse der Wandhalterung bzw. des Bürstenteils schwenk- oder drehbar ist.Another fundamental embodiment of the present invention provides that at least one part of the wall mount receiving the brush part and / or the brush part itself is pivotable or rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the wall mount or of the brush part.
Mit anderen Worten: bei dieser Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Wasch- und Massagevorrichtung ist zusätzlich zu der relativen Beweglichkeit des Bürstenteils bezogen auf die Wandhalterung insbesondere auch ein Verschwenken des Bürstenteils und gegebenenfalls der Wandhalterung selbst um die Längsachse der Vorrichtung möglich.In other words, in this embodiment of the washing and massage device according to the invention is in addition to the relative mobility of the brush part in particular also a pivoting of the brush part and possibly the wall bracket itself about the longitudinal axis of the device relative to the wall bracket.
Hierzu können insbesondere handbetätigte Mittel zum Drehen der Wandhalterung bzw. des Bürstenteils vorgesehen sein, die insbesondere in Form eines Hand- oder Tellerrads ausgebildet sein können. Zur Vermittlung der Drehbewegung kann zwischen den genannten handbetätigten Mitteln und dem Bürstenteil bzw. der Wandhalterung ein weiteres Antriebsmittel vorgesehen sein, welches im Zuge einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung in Form eines Winkelantriebs ausgebildet ist.For this purpose, in particular hand-operated means for rotating the wall mount or the brush part may be provided, which may be formed in particular in the form of a hand or ring gear. To mediate the rotational movement can be provided between the said hand-operated means and the brush part or the wall mount another drive means, which is formed in the course of a particular embodiment of the present invention in the form of an angular drive.
