Description
【０００１】[0001]
（発明の背景） 本発明は、特に自動車洗浄システム用に設計されたブラシに関する。 (Background of the Invention) The present invention relates to brushes designed especially for motor vehicle cleaning systems.
【０００２】[0002]
知られているように、自動車洗浄システム等に従来使用されているブラシは、
通常、シャフトを備えており、このシャフト上には、複数の様々に分配された剛
毛を支持する層が設けられている。As is known, the brushes that have been conventionally used in automobile cleaning systems, etc.
It typically comprises a shaft on which is provided a layer supporting a plurality of differently distributed bristles.
【０００３】
通常、ブラシ剛毛は、比較的重いプラスチック材料の押出し要素からなるため
、回転剛毛によって予想される運動エネルギーが、実質的に、洗浄ブラシと自動
車本体の間に複数の微小な衝撃が生じるということが頻繁に起こる。Since the brush bristles usually consist of extruded elements of a relatively heavy plastic material, the kinetic energy expected by the rotating bristles results in a number of microscopic impacts between the cleaning brush and the car body. That often happens.
【０００４】
そのため、自動車本体上に、ブラシ剛毛からのプラスチック材料の小片が堆積
することがある。As a result, small pieces of plastic material from the brush bristles may accumulate on the automobile body.
【０００５】
さらに、従来の洗浄ブラシは、剛毛を自動車本体と適切に接触させるべく駆動
することが困難である。Moreover, conventional cleaning brushes are difficult to drive in order to properly contact the bristles with the vehicle body.
【０００６】
上述の問題を解決するために、現在のところ、ブラシ駆動モータ電流が増加す

が設けられている。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, at present, a sensor is provided which displaces the brush shaft so as to follow the shape of the automobile body during cleaning when the brush drive motor current increases.
【０００７】[0007]
しかし、上述の解決法では、剛毛の集合体の運動エネルギーが高いため、洗浄
ブラシの転置が突然生じかねず、均一な洗浄を行うことができない。However, in the above-mentioned solution, since the kinetic energy of the bristles is high, displacement of the cleaning brush may occur suddenly, and uniform cleaning cannot be performed.
【０００８】
さらに、高い運動エネルギーの剛毛がバックミラー、アンテナ等の自動車の突
起部分の周囲をそれ自体が回転する傾向があり、その結果、先に述べた自動車の
突起部分にかかわる剛毛が破損する。Furthermore, the bristles of high kinetic energy tend to rotate themselves around the protrusions of the automobile, such as the rearview mirror and the antenna, which results in damage to the above-mentioned bristles involved in the protrusions of the automobile. .
【０００９】[0009]
（発明の概要）
従って、本発明の目的は、自動車本体へのあらゆる損傷を防止するために、ブ

本発明の別の目的は、剛毛がその軽量さのために運動エネルギーを大幅に減じ
ることで、剛毛が巻いてしまう、および／又は洗浄中の自動車本体の突起部分上
に係合することを防止する洗浄ブラシを提供することである。Another object of the invention is that the bristles significantly reduce their kinetic energy due to their light weight, which causes the bristles to curl and / or engage on the protruding parts of the vehicle body during cleaning. It is to provide a cleaning brush that prevents this.
【００１２】
本発明のさらに別の目的は、非常に信頼性が高く、安全に操作できるブラシを
提供することである。Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a brush which is very reliable and safe to operate.
【００１３】
本発明の１つの態様によれば、これ以降の記述により明白になる上述した目的
