Then, the projection 23a is inserted into a holding hole 6x formed in the distal end wall 6 of the outer case body 5. In addition, a cylindrical protrusion 24a is integrally formed on the base end wall 24 of the inner cylinder 3 so as to protrude toward the base end. Then, the pin 2 fitted into the round hole of the cylindrical projection 24a
The inner cylinder 3 is rotatable with respect to the outer case body 5 by holding the inner case 3 in the holding hole 7 x of the base end wall 7 of the outer case body 5. The inner cylinder 3 is attached to the outer case main body 5 with a part of the cylindrical surface protruding slightly below the lower end edge of the outer case main body 5 and the backing plate 16 provided thereon.

As shown in FIG. 9 (A), the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 3 has its distal end at the opening end side of the inner cylinder 3 (in the direction away from the central ) Are provided. The inclined pile group 27 (27a, 27b) is formed of a short nap group inclined toward ().

When the inner cylinder 3 is attached to the outer case main body 5, the left and right inclined pile groups 27 (27a, 2a)
7b) are the inclined pile groups 1 of the left and right backing plates 16 respectively.
7 (17a, 17b). That is, in the present embodiment, as described above, the contact plate 16 is urged to abut on the inner cylinder 3 by the spring force of the second coil spring, so that the inclined pile group 17 provided on the contact plate 16 is provided. Contact the inclined pile group 27 of the inner cylinder 3.

A knob 28 is provided at the upper end of the base wall 24 of the inner cylinder 3 to protrude upward. The knob 28 protrudes into a notch groove 7b formed along the circumferential direction on the cylindrical surface at the upper end of the handle 4 side of the outer case body 5, and
It is arranged so as to protrude above the upper surface of the outer case 2. Therefore, by moving the knob 28 in the circumferential direction along the cutout groove 7b, as shown in each of FIGS.
, The inner cylinder 3 can be relatively rotated. In a state where the inner cylinder 3 is rotated relative to the outer case main body 5 at the maximum, either the left or right inclined pile group 2 of the inner cylinder 3 is rotated.
7 is arranged corresponding to the lower opening of the outer case body 5.

The lower end of the knob 28 (the base wall 24 of the inner cylinder 3)
An engagement release portion 29 for releasing the engagement between the locking portion 9 of the outer case body 5 and the engaged portion 22 of the lid 1 is provided at the upper end portion). In the present embodiment, the inner cylinder 3 is formed by a small plate piece extending to the distal end side. The engagement release portion 29 is elastically deformed by pushing the knob 28 toward the distal end, and is slightly movable toward the distal end.

Now, as shown in FIG.
Considering the state where the locking portion 9 of the cover 1 is engaged with the engaged portion 22 of the lid 1 and the lid is closed, the engagement release portion 29 of the knob 28 is provided.
Is disposed below the locking portion 9 of the outer case 2. The engaged portion 22 of the lid 1 is disposed close to the tip of the engagement release portion 29 of the knob 28. Therefore, in this state, when the knob 28 is pushed toward the distal end, the engagement release portion 29 elastically deforms the engaged portion 22 toward the distal end, and the engagement between the engaged portion 22 and the locking portion 9 is performed. Cancel.

When the engagement between the engaged portion 22 and the locking portion 9 is released, the lid 1 is automatically opened by the spring force of the first coil spring 13. Here, as shown in FIG.
The extension 13 b of the first coil spring 13 contacts the contact wall 21 of the attached portion 19 of the lid 1 and opens the lid 1, and the extension 13 b reaches the lower end of the notch 14 of the lid attachment 10. As a result, further rotation is prevented, and the lower end edge of the attached portion 19 of the lid 1 on the distal end side hits the lower end of the outer case 2, so that the opening of the lid 1 stops in the state of FIG. That is, it is possible to prevent the lid 1 from being unnecessarily opened too much.

On the other hand, when it is desired to close the lid 1, the lid 1 may be rotated in the closing direction while opposing the spring force of the first coil spring 13. Thereby, the attached portion 19 of the lid 1
Abuts against the extending portion 13b of the first coil spring 13 to compress the extending portions 13a and 13b of the coil spring 13 in a direction in which they approach each other. When the lid 1 is closed, the distal end of the engaged portion 22 of the lid 1 comes into contact with the locking portion 9 of the outer case main body 5. Thus, the locking portion 9 and the engaged portion 22 can be engaged. After the engagement, the engagement is released and the lid does not open unless the engagement release portion 29 of the knob 28 is operated.

Next, the use state of the brush of the above embodiment will be described. While holding the handle 4 of the brush of this embodiment with one hand, the knob 28 is moved in one circumferential direction along the cutout groove 7b of the outer case 2 with a finger, and the knob 2 is attached to one end of the cutout groove 7b.
The inner cylinder 3 is rotated in one direction until 8 hits. As a result, for example, the state shown in FIG.

Further, in the state shown in FIG. 9 (B), when the brush is moved in the direction of the arrow while stroking the surface of the clothes, the inclined pile exposed downward from the lower opening of the outer case body 5 is obtained. The dust on the clothes surface is scooped and removed by the group 27a.

Next, in order to change the direction of brushing, the knob 28 is moved in the opposite direction along the cutout groove 7b with a finger, and the inner cylinder 3 is rotated until the knob 28 hits the other end of the cutout groove 7b. . As a result, the state of FIG. 9B is changed to the state of FIG. 9C through the state of FIG. Therefore,
By moving the brush in the direction of the arrow in the state shown in FIG. 9C, the inclined pile group 27b exposed downward from the lower opening of the outer case body 5 allows dust on the surface of the clothes to be sucked up. Removed.

If it is desired to further change the brushing direction, the knob 28 may be operated to return from the state shown in FIG. 9C to the state shown in FIG. 9B. In this way, it is possible to remove dust and the like by brushing in one direction in a state in which the inner cylinder 3 is relatively rotated with respect to the outer case main body 5 and further relative rotation is disabled.

By the way, for example, when switching from the state of FIG. 9B to the state of FIG. 9C, the inner cylinder 3 rotates in the direction indicated by the dotted arrow in FIG. 9A. At this time, dust and the like that have been scooped up between the other inclined pile group 27b of the inner cylinder 3 move to the inclined pile group 17b of the other abutment plate 16 of the outer case 2. Thereby, the inclined pile group 27b of the inner cylinder 3 is automatically cleaned. Also, at this time, dust and the like of the inclined pile group 17a of the one backing plate 16 of the outer case 2 are pushed upward by the bristle tips by the propulsion of the one inclined pile group 27a of the inner cylinder 3.

On the other hand, when switching from the state shown in FIG. 9C to the state shown in FIG. 9B, the inner cylinder 3 rotates in the direction opposite to the dotted arrow in FIG. The dust and the like that have been scooped up
Then, one of the inclined pile groups 27a of the inner cylinder 3 is cleaned. At this time, the inclined pile group 17 of the other backing plate 16 of the outer case 2
The dust b is pushed upward by the tip of the bristles by the propulsion of the other inclined pile group 27b of the inner cylinder 3.

As described above, the surface of the clothes is brushed, and the inner cylinder 3 is used to switch the brushing direction.
Can be further rotated in the opposite direction for further brushing. By repeating such forward and reverse rotation of the inner cylinder 3, dust and the like of the inclined pile group 27 of the inner cylinder 3 move to the inclined pile group 17 of the backing plate 16, and moreover, the inclined pile group of the backing plate 16. 17 will be moved upward. Therefore, the dust eventually falls off the contact plate 16 and falls into the dust collection chamber in the inner cylinder 3.

Incidentally, the inner cylinder 3 is adjusted so that its upper opening does not face the lower opening side of the outer case main body 5 even if it is rotated relative to the outer case main body 5 at maximum. Further, a lid 1 is formed at an upper opening of the outer case main body 5. Accordingly, there is no possibility that dust entering the inner cylinder 3 may fall out during use.

Further, since the lid 1 has transparency at least in part, the amount of dust accumulated in the inner cylinder 3 can be immediately confirmed. When the user wants to discard the accumulated dust, the user operates the knob 28 to open the lid 1 and the first coil spring 1
Since the cover 1 is automatically opened by the urging force of 3, the dust is easily thrown away.

Further, since the engaging portion between the engaging portion 9 of the outer case main body 5 and the engaged portion 22 of the lid 1 is located at the center of the cutout groove 7b, the lid 1 can be opened. The knob 28 having the engagement release portion 29 for releasing the engagement is formed by the notch groove 7b.
Must be placed in the center of the And in that state,
As shown in FIG. 9A, the upper opening of the inner cylinder 3 is necessarily arranged at a position corresponding to the upper opening of the outer case body 5. Therefore, when the lid 1 is opened, the upper openings of the inner cylinder 3 and the outer case main body 5 always correspond to each other, so that dust can be easily discarded. That is, when the lid 1 is opened in the state shown in FIGS.
However, the lid 1 does not open in such a state, thereby preventing the inconvenience from occurring.

According to the brush of the above embodiment, since the lid 1 is a skeleton, it is easy to grasp the amount of dust. Further, since the lid 1 is opened only at the center, it is possible to prevent dust from being thrown away in a state where the opening of the dust collection chamber of the inner cylinder 3 does not correspond to the opening of the outer case 2. Furthermore, since the knob 28 has multiple functions of rotating the inner cylinder 3 and opening the lid 1, it can exhibit multiple functions with a simple structure.

By the way, the clothes brush of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, but can be changed as appropriate. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the removal of dust on the surface of clothing has been described as an example. For example, it can also be used as dust for carpets and sofas.
In the above embodiment, the inclined pile group 17 of the outer case 2 is used.
Is provided on the backing plate 16 separate from the outer case body 2,
The inclined pile group 17 may be provided directly inside the outer case body 5.

[0044]

As described above in detail, according to the clothes brush of the present invention, the garbage removed from the clothes and the like is automatically collected, the amount of the collected garbage can be easily grasped, and the garbage can be easily discarded. Can be.
