SCRAPER FOR CLEANING UTENSILS WITH HANDLE AND BRUSH OR MOCHO

EXTREME

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a scraper for cleaning utensils with handle and brush, mocho or the like, arranged at the end of said handle to facilitate foot cleaning or to reach hard to reach areas.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the search for devices similar to that presented in the present invention, the utility model 201231068 was first found, referring to a scraper device with a thread adapter for attaching brooms and mops, comprising a single piece scraper body of floors, and a double-threaded cylinder-shaped adapter to fit on all types of brooms, brushes, mops, mops or any other cleaning tool. The double thread is universal male-female and it is not necessary to buy, neither a new handle, nor a new brush or mop, such that from the cylinder that houses the upper thread or female the scraper, which consists of an arm or base that starts perpendicular to said cylinder, about 2 cm. of length and that is reinforced or is of double thickness, with an angle of at least 120 °, and from which arises the part destined to scratch, which has the shape of a spatula and about 4 cm. of length. It has the disadvantage that the spatula is very short and narrow, which makes it necessary to manipulate the handle of the broom, mop or mop in little ergonomic positions to perform scratching, which is also not very effective due to the narrowness of the spatula.

The utility model 201400106 has also been found, which discloses a mop or broom scraper device, intended for a mop or broom replacement body, comprising an element or flange with a sharp, sharp edge at its distal edge, arranged in the lower edge of the perimeter of the mop or broom replacement body, to enable a scratch of the floor in case of finding dirt stuck, but that forces the change of inclination of the stick or handle, adopting little ergonomic positions, and also can not scratch and sweep or scrub at the same time.

Therefore, based on this background, the existence of scrapers for cleaning utensils with handle and brush or extreme mop (mops, mops, brooms, etc.), comprising a spatula with fixing means to an area close to the area brush or mocho and lateral configuration with respect to said brush or mocho.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The scraper for cleaning utensils with handle and brush or end mocho of the invention has a configuration that allows to carry out the scratching with comfort, even simultaneously to the operation of sweeping, scrubbing or cleaning.

The scraper is of the type comprising a spatula with fixing means to an area close to the brush or mocho and lateral configuration (substantially parallel) with respect to said brush or mocho, where according to the invention:

-the spatula has a width similar to that of the brush or mocho (that is, equal or different at most 10-20%, of the width of the brush or mocho), and

-the spatula has a height equal to or greater than the distance between the fixing means and the end of the bristles, strips or filaments of the brush or mocho to generate a projection with respect to said end.

In this way you can sweep and scratch the floor simultaneously without adopting little ergonomic postures, with the advantage that the width of the spatula manages to cover the entire width of the brush or moo by limiting the number of passes.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The scraper (1) for cleaning utensils (2) with handle (3) and brush (4) or end mojo of the invention is of the type comprising a spatula (5) with fixing means to an area close to the brush (4 ) or mocho and lateral configuration substantially parallel with respect to said brush (4) or mocho, where according to the invention:

-the spatula (5) has a width similar to that of the brush (4) or mocho, and

-the spatula (5) has a height equal to or greater than the distance between the fixing means and the end (40) of the bristles, strips or filaments of the brush (4) or mocho to generate a projection (6) with respect to said end (40) (see fig 5).

In the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, the spatula (5) has a width equal to that of the brush (4) or mocha of the utensil (2) carrying the scraper (1), since it is the most efficient for sweeping and scratching both.

Ideally, the projection (6) is between 1 and 2 centimeters, since it serves to adopt an ergonomic posture, coinciding with the natural inclination of the stick, when sweeping or scrubbing.

It is preferred that at least one of the ends of the spatula (5) comprises a lower lateral projection (50) to reach the corners (see Figures 1 and 4).

As for the fixing means, they comprise in this example, for their simplicity of adaptation to existing utensils, a piece (7) provided with an upper coupling (70) to the handle (3) (see figs 1 to 3), of a lower coupling (71) to the brush (4) or mocho, and an intermediate coupling (72) for the spatula (5). This allows it to be removable and easily adaptable. Furthermore, it is preferred that the intermediate coupling (72) may comprise a longitudinal track (73) (in the axial direction of the handle) while the spatula (5) comprises a slide (55) along said track (73); comprising longitudinal interlocking means (crimping, clipping, screws, etc.) to regulate the relative position of the slide (55) along the track (73) and the magnitude of the projection (6) of the spatula (5) with respect to the end (40) of the Bristles, strips or filaments of the brush (4) or mocho -as seen in fig 5-, to achieve greater scratching force.

Finally, indicate that the spatula (5) and / or the fixing means thereof to the area near the brush (4) or mocho are materialized in plastic.

In addition, the spatula (5) may comprise an opening (8) with means for fixing a bag, not shown, for collecting animal feces, the opening (8) being able to comprise a lid (9) for closing, for liquid collection. The fixing means of the bag may comprise, for example, clipping or tightening areas around the opening (8).

Sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner in which it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are subject to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
