Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a system for cleaning brush bristles which enables them to be cleared of brushing residues. The system is integrated into a brush body and is actuated by simply pressing with the thumb of the hand holding the brush. Thus, the force of the thumb is exerted on a push-button 7 embedded in the body of the brush and securely attached at its end to a small plate 6 traversed by all the bristles 8. The push-button 7 moves perpendicularly to the brush body and entrains the movable small plate 6 for cleaning, from the base of the bristles 8 as far as their end, which results in removal of residues tangled between them. When the force ceases, the small plate 6 for cleaning re-assumes its initial position at the base of the bristles 8 through the action of a return spring 5 and the brush equipped with this integrated cleaning system is once again ready for further efficient use.

Description

Il existe, à l'heure actuelle sur le marché une grande diversité de brosses, dont les différents modèles ont un usage dometique, familial, ou industriel. At the present time, there is a great variety of brushes on the market, the different models of which have domestic, family or industrial use.

Certains@modéles remplacent les peignes pour la coiffure. Aucune innovation, n'avait apporté jusqu'à ce jour une solution adéquate au problème du nettoyage des résidus de brossage, qui devait s'effectuer à l'aide d'un outil ou encore avec les doigts
La présente invention permet de réaliser une brosse perfectionnée, uti lisable comme toutes les autres brosses, mais présentant l1avantage d'un système de nettoyage intégré, commandé à volonté par un simple mouvement du pouce de la main tenant la brosse.Some @ models replace the combs for hairdressing. No innovation, had so far provided an adequate solution to the problem of cleaning brushing residues, which had to be done using a tool or even with the fingers
The present invention makes it possible to produce an improved brush, usable like all the other brushes, but having the advantage of an integrated cleaning system, controlled at will by a simple movement of the thumb of the hand holding the brush.

Son principe consiste à faire passer les poils de la brosse à travers une plaquette mobile dont le déplacement depuis la base des poils à leur extrémité, les débarasse de tous les résidus de brossage. Ainsi, (V@IR l)ESSIN) l'action du pouce sur l'extrémité du poussQir(4) déplace le tube(7) et la plaquette mobile (6) qui en est solidaire. Cette plaquette, au travers de laquelle passent toua les poils(8), repousse les résidus à l'extérieur du réseau de brossage. Its principle consists in passing the bristles of the brush through a movable plate whose displacement from the base of the bristles at their end, rids them of all brushing residues. Thus, (V @ IR 1) ESSIN) the action of the thumb on the end of the pusher (4) moves the tube (7) and the movable plate (6) which is integral therewith. This plate, through which pass all the bristles (8), pushes the residues outside the brushing network.

La réalisation consiste donc à fabriquer un corps de brosse tenant bien en main et à y adapter le système de nettoyage, objet de l'invention en y ménageant divers ouvertures et fixations. The embodiment therefore consists in manufacturing a brush body holding it well in hand and in adapting the cleaning system, object of the invention by providing various openings and fixings.

Dans le cas présent, l'intercalaire(5) est utilisé comme base de fixa tion des cils de la brosse qui sont ici de fines tiges d'acier. La fixation pouvant d'ailleur s'effectuer par collage, sertissage, coudage, écrasement, soudure ou extrusion {les tiges en fonction de la matière utilisée. In the present case, the interlayer (5) is used as the base for fixing the eyelashes of the brush which are here fine steel rods. The fixing can also be done by gluing, crimping, bending, crushing, welding or extrusion to the rods depending on the material used.

La plaquette mobile(6) est dotée d'autant de trous de passage que de tiges(8) fixées sur l'intercalaire(3) et d'un trou central destiné au passage de la vis de fixation(12) sur tube poussoir(7) traversant lui-même l'interca@ laire(3) dans une bague de guidagetI0). Un ressort spirale(5) prend appui sur l'épaulement de la bague de guidage(IO) de l'intercalaire(3) et se trouve en permanence, comprimé par la tête de pou@soir(7) ce qui permet de maintenir la plaquette de nettoyage(6) à la base des tiges/poils de brossage. The movable plate (6) is provided with as many through holes as there are rods (8) fixed on the interlayer (3) and a central hole intended for the passage of the fixing screw (12) on the push tube ( 7) passing itself through the intercal @ laire (3) in a guide ring I0). A spiral spring (5) is supported on the shoulder of the guide ring (IO) of the interlayer (3) and is permanently, compressed by the head of louse @ evening (7) which allows to maintain the cleaning pad (6) at the base of the brush rods / bristles.

La brosse se prend en main, comme une brosse classique. A la fin du brossage ou lorsque les poils de la brosse sont engorgés de résidus de matière brossée( poil animal, cheveux, filasse, particules diverse@..). il est necessaire de nettoyer le réseau de brossage. Pour ce foire, placer le pouce sur la tê- de vis- poussoir(4) et pousser perpendiculairement au corps de la brosse, jusqu' à provoquer l'enfoncement du tube-poussoir(7) et par cela même le déplacement de la plaquette. de nettoyage66) vers l'extrémité des tiges(8). A oe noient les résidus de brossage s'enchevêtrant entre tiges sont rejetés à leur extrémité et s'évacuent.Une fois cette opération de nettoyage terminéé, relever le pouce pour permettre au ressort de rappel(5) de jouer en ranenant la pleque de nettoyage(6) à la base des poils. Il est entendu que l'intercalaire(3) peut être constitué par divers matériaux: ( bois, métal, plastique, caoutchouc, baquélite, ébonite) et disposé sur tout ou patie du corps de brosse, visible ou non visible. The brush is taken in hand, like a conventional brush. At the end of brushing or when the bristles of the brush are engorged with residues of brushed material (animal hair, hair, tow, various particles @ ..). it is necessary to clean the brushing network. For this fair, place your thumb on the screw head (4) and push it perpendicularly to the body of the brush, until the push tube (7) is pushed in and thereby the movement of the plate . 66) towards the end of the rods (8). A oe drown the brushing residues entangled between rods are rejected at their end and are evacuated. Once this cleaning operation is completed, raise your thumb to allow the return spring (5) to play by bringing back the full cleaning (6) at the base of the hairs. It is understood that the interlayer (3) can be made up of various materials: (wood, metal, plastic, rubber, baquelite, ebonite) and disposed on all or part of the brush body, visible or not visible.

Le manche, sur le dessin en trois parties (I+2+3) peut aussi se pré- senter en un seul bloc, en fontion du material utilité. Le corps de la brosse
peut lui aussi être fabriquer en une ou plusieurs parties.The handle, in the three-part design (I + 2 + 3) can also be presented in a single block, depending on the useful material. The brush body
can also be manufactured in one or more parts.

L'équipage mobile(comprend, poussoir, plaquette @obile,) peut être @@- semblé par rivets, clips, sertissage, goupillage, ou traversé de tiges filetées. The mobile equipment (includes, push button, mobile plate,) can be @@ - similar by rivets, clips, crimping, pinning, or crossed by threaded rods.

D'autre part, il est entendu que les tiges de la brosse, peuvent être de section différente, telleque s R cylindrique, eo- nique, carrée, triangulaire, et de ratières divers tel que t ( métal, plastique,) et toutes matières souples ou rigides, pouvant convenir à la présente invention
Le galbe du systéme peut varier selon le besoin et la longueur des poils peut être rendue @églable facilement. On the other hand, it is understood that the rods of the brush, can be of different section, such as R cylindrical, economic, square, triangular, and of various dobbies such as t (metal, plastic,) and all materials flexible or rigid, which may be suitable for the present invention
The curve of the system can vary as required and the length of the bristles can be made easily adjustable.
