Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwashing brush, a detergent dispenser and a system for dishwashing.
  • the items may be washed directly under the running faucet.
  • Detergent is then deposited on the item, which is then cleaned, and rinsed using the brush under the running water from the faucet.
  • a brush for dishwashing said brush comprising a head and a handle, characterized in that the brush comprises a wireless transmitter adapted for transmitting an activation signal to a detergent dispenser, and an activation means for activating said transmitter to send the activation signal.
  • a system for dishwashing comprising a dishwashing brush according to the first aspect of the invention and a detergent dispenser comprising a mount and a receptacle adapted for holding a detergent bottle, where the detergent dispenser comprises a receiver adapted to receive an activation signal, an actuator adapted to influence a detergent bottle held in said receptacle in response to the activation signal received by said receiver.
  • Providing a push-button in a convenient place on the brush for activating the transmitter provides an intuitive interface with tactile feedback, in turn, securing that the transmitter is not inadvertently activated.
  • the actuator of the detergent dispenser is adapted to influence a valve mechanism forming part of said detergent bottle.
  • the detergent dispenser being able to activate the built-in valve mechanism of the detergent bottle the activating the dispenser may be made small as it basically needs only to comprise a mount and a head, but not larger reservoir, thus taking up only little of the valuable space around the kitchen sink.
  • the actuator comprises a beak adapted to engage a flange part of said detergent bottle, and means for moving said beak in response to said activation signal.
  • said means for moving said beak comprises an electric motor.
  • Electric motors such as servo-motors come cheap and may be operated at very low current consumption, in turn allowing the dispenser to be battery powered.
  • a kitchen sink 1 embedded into a tabletop 2 of a piece of kitchen furniture 3 is schematically shown.
  • a faucet 4 is suitably arranged in connection with the kitchen sink 1 so as to allow water to be let into the kitchen sink 1 and drained therefrom via a drain in the bottom (not shown).
  • a dispenser 5 is also arranged in a suitable place in connection with the kitchen sink 1 .
  • the dispenser comprises a mount 6, such as a column, and a receptacle 7 for a detergent bottle 8.
  • the receptacle 7 is preferably so arranged with respect of the mount 6, e.g.
  • the receptacle 7 also comprises a beak 27 forming part of the actuator.
  • the beak 27 has a cut-out 28 with a recess 29 for accommodating the pull-flange 30 of the valve mechanism of the detergent bottle 8.
  • the cut-out 28 may be largely semi-circular with a concentric semi-circular recess 29, or any other shape ensuring a good engagement with the pull-flange 30 of the detergent bottle 8.
  • the beak 27 is pivotally arranged in the receptacle 7 so as to be able to pivot about an axis A arranged away from the cut-out 28 and recess 29, i.e. in the view of Fig. 3 in the body behind the cut-out 28 and recess 29.
  • the beak 27 may be pivoted slightly as indicated with the double arrow in Fig. 3 , e.g. in the range of 0° to 10°, preferably approximately 6°. This pivotal movement is effected by a drive means such as the electric motor 15, upon receipt of the activation signal 12.
  • the beak 27 may be provided as an interchangeable part, in order to allow for different detergent bottles 8 and constructions of the valve 10.
  • the activation signal 12 is preferably a radiofrequency signal, but other electromagnetic signals, such as infrared or optical could be used.
  • the activation signal 12 is preferably a coded signal, such as a PCM signal or the like, allowing the receiver 11 to identify it as an activation signal 12.
  • the push-button 19 is preferably arranged in an ergonomically suitable place on the dishwashing brush 14. If as illustrated the dishwashing brush 14 is of the type with a curved proximal handle 21 and a distal head 22 with bristles 23, the push-button 19 is preferably arranged on the lengthwise convexly curved surface of the handle 21, i.e. the upper side, allowing it to be operated by the thumb of the hand with which the user holds the handle 21. It is, however, not excluded that the push-button 19 could be arranged on the lengthwise concavely curved surface of the handle 21, i.e. the underside, where is will be readily operable by an index or middle finger of the hand. Lateral arrangement, although also possible, is less preferred as this would result in the need for both left-hand and right-hand dishwashing brushes 14.
  • this process may then be repeated as long as necessary, without the person ever having to put the dishwashing brush down 14 to dispense further detergent.
  • the dishwashing process may thus be carried out substantially faster than in the prior art, where the dishwashing brush 14 repeatedly has to be put down and picked up, because the hand holding the dishwashing brush 14 is needed for dispensing the detergent.
  • the dispenser may be adapted to other types of detergent bottles than the one use for illustration purposes.
  • the skilled person will e.g. understand that for detergent bottles with other types of valves the dispenser needs to be devised differently, or even so that the actuator influences the flexible body of the detergent bottle rather than the valve thereof.
  • the skilled person will also realize that the incorporation of the transmitter in the dishwashing brush for the remote control of the dispenser, is largely independent of the ergonomic design of the dishwashing brush.
  • the handle of the brush could thus be straight rather than curved, or the dishwashing brush could even be of a type without an elongate handle.
