Description

The present invention relates to a broom

  mechanical of the rotary brush type, improved.

  Today there are a large number of devices and devices, more or less sophisticated, which are used as brooms and crumbs, most devices have a large number of

  parts whose assembly is complicated.

  The object of the invention is an improved broom with rotating brushes of simple construction, which can be used easily and which is

simultaneously very effective.

  The simplicity of construction means that the parts which wear out or which are liable to break can be easily changed, i.e. these parts are mounted in a manner which

  allows their easy assembly and disassembly.

  These objectives, which are required for a broom for household use, are obtained according to the invention by using simple construction characteristics, a minimum number of parts and an assembly and a

  easy and secure cooperation between these parts.

  The improved rotating brush mop according to the invention is characterized in particular in that it comprises an open prismatic body comprising in its rear part an inclined plane which goes up towards the front part and which delimits a receptacle in which is deposited a little water to collect crumbs and particles and avoid

dust formation.

  The upper part of the prismatic body is closed by a removable closing plate in which is provided a tubular part inclined in

  which adjusts the handle or the handle of the broom.

  In the prismatic body is mounted a transverse axis which has at its ends wheels which press on the surface to be cleaned and which are made of a material such as rubber or similar soft plastic, on which wheels press and bear tangentially two other ribbed wheels which are themselves mounted at the ends

  a parallel axis carrying one of the brushes of the broom.

  In the front part of the prismatic body is provided a third axis for a second brush which

  also has wheels at its ends.

  The three aforementioned axes are parallel and are spaced apart so as to allow a tangential pressure of the wheels and the driving of the rotating brushes, which rotate in opposite directions, to pick up the crumbs and particles and introduce them between the brushes, so that , under the effect of the circular movement of the brushes, the crumbs and particles are deposited in the receptacle located behind the brushes and containing a

little water.

  In the brush region, the surface

  support of the prismatic body is open.

  At the front of the rotating brush broom, there are two small fixed brushes inclined towards the outside with bristles directed towards the inside of the surface to be swept, which favors the collection of crumbs and particles to be collected along the walls. in

bringing them back to the center.

  Of course, the axes of rotation of the brushes are mounted in support sockets of

adequate bearing.

  Depending on the use of the device, you can

  possibly incorporate a small motor into it.

  The rotating brush broom can also be used as a simple crumb brush

  to pick up the bread crumbs placed on a table.

  Another application of the broom can be the cleaning of dust and duvets on seats of

  especially car seats and armchairs.

  The invention and its implementation will be better understood, with reference to the appended drawings giving by way of nonlimiting example a mode of

  possible realization of the invention.

  In these drawings: Figure 1 shows a perspective view

  of the rotating brush broom according to the invention.

  Figure 2 shows a top plan view of this same brush, the closure plate having

been dismantled.

  Referring to the drawings, the whole of the

device.

  The brush 1 comprises a prismatic body 2 open in its front part 3 of support, as well as on the front of its lateral faces and the front of its upper part. In the lateral parts of the body 2, is mounted the rear horizontal axis 4 which projects on each side of the body and to which the wheels are connected 5. Parallel to the axis 4, are arranged two other axes 6 and 7 carrying the brushes 8 and 9, the ends of which rotate tangentially in opposite directions. At the ends of the brush 8 are mounted two ribbed wheels 10 which rest on the wheels 5, so that when the brush is moved over the surface to be cleaned, the wheels 5 drive the ribbed wheels 10 and with them the brush 8 (reverse

wheel rotation 5).

  With regard to the brush 9, these are the wheels 11 mounted at the end of this brush, which, by bearing on the surface to be cleaned, rotate the

brush 9.

  The brushes 8 and 9 rotating in opposite directions while being tangent to one another, they pick up the crumbs and particles deposited on the surface to be cleaned and cause them to rise between said brushes; the brush 8 transfers these particles which fall on the inclined plane 13 and are collected in

  the receptacle 12 in which there is water.

  The products collected on the surface to be cleaned are collected in the rear part of the body

prismatic 2.

  On the prismatic body, there is the closing plate 14 which has at its rear end a return 15 which is articulated on the edge 16 of

the rear wall 17 of the body 2.

  The closure plate comprises an inclined central tube 18 in which the end of the handle or of the operating handle 19 is adjusted.

get out.

  In the front part of the broom, we see the side brushes 20 inclined towards the outside allowing perfect collection along the walls to be swept. The invention having thus been described in relation to the embodiment shown by way of example in the drawings, it is of course not limited to this embodiment to which the person skilled in the art can make modifications to detail he

  without departing from the scope of the claims which

follow.

Claims (3)

  1. Improved broom of the rotating brush type, characterized in that it comprises a prismatic body (2) open at its front part on its bearing surface, as well as on its lateral faces and on its upper face, comprising a plate removable closure (14) provided with an inclined tube (18), in which the handle (19) for operating the brush can be adjusted, a horizontal axis (4) being mounted in the side walls of the prismatic body projecting at outside the body and at the ends of which are mounted wheels (5) which press tangentially two other serrated wheels (10) which are mounted on a second axis (6) parallel to the first axis (4), around which is mounted and turns a first brush (8) which is tangent to a second brush (9) mounted on a third axis (7) parallel to the previous two and ending at its ends, outside the prismatic body (2), by wheels (11), the brushes turning in the opposite direction   when the broom is moved over the surface to be cleaned.   2. Broom according to claim 1, characterized in that the receptacle 2 comprises an inclined plane (13) on which are deposited the particles brought back between the rotating brushes, the particles thus descending towards the rear of the receptacle formed by the prismatic body (2).   3. Broom according to one of claims 1   or 2, characterized in that, in front of the prismatic body, are mounted two fixed brushes (20) inclined outwards to bring back towards the center the particles scanned.
