The brush body 2 includes a handle 4, an annular sponge support 5 integrally formed at one end of the handle 4, and a brush portion 6 provided on one side of the sponge support 5.
The handle 4 has a total length of about 165 mm, and includes a grip portion 41 and a neck portion 42 that is inclined downward with respect to the grip portion 41. A separate locking hook ( A hook hole 43 that can be locked is formed.
The sponge support 5 has an annular frame shape with an outer diameter of about 48 mm and an inner diameter of about 35 mm, and is provided at the tip portion of the neck portion 42 so as to be lifted in the direction opposite to the inclination direction of the neck portion 42. .
The brush portion 6 is formed by implanting a large number of synthetic resin-made hair bodies 600 on the side where the neck portion 42 is inclined along the frame shape of the sponge support body 5. Is about 27 mm.

  The sponge body 3 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 58 mm and a height of about 60 mm, and a concave bottomed hole 31 having a diameter of about 9 mm and a depth of about 45 mm is formed at the substantially central portion of one end face. ing.

By the way, when the sponge body 3 is attached to the brush body 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the sponge body 3 is inserted into the sponge support body 5 from the opposite side of the sponge support body 5 to the brush portion 6 formation side. As shown in FIG. 1, the substantially central portion in the length direction of the side surface portion of the sponge body 3 is held on the inner surface of the frame of the sponge support body 5.
Specifically, the end surface of the sponge body 3 on which the bottomed hole 31 is formed is disposed opposite to the side of the sponge support 5 opposite to the brush portion 6 formation side, and the sponge body 3 is attached to the frame of the sponge support 5. The sponge is compressed by hand to the extent that it can be inserted into the sponge support 5 and pushed into the frame of the sponge support 5 so that the end surface of the sponge 3 is almost the same height as the tip of the bristle 600 of the brush 6. The body 3 is arranged. When the hand is released from the sponge body 3, due to the elastic restoring force of the sponge body 3, the side surface of the sponge body 3 is pressed against the inner surface of the frame of the sponge support 5, and the sponge body 3 is held by the sponge support 5. In this way, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first cleaning portion 7 is formed on one side of the sponge support portion 5 on the brush portion 6 forming side by the combination of the brush portion 6 and the sponge body 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a second cleaning portion 8 made of the sponge body 3 is formed on the other side of the sponge support portion 5.

  Next, when using this brush 1 with a handle, first, a powdery or liquid detergent is put into the bottomed hole 31 of the sponge body 3 and the sponge body 3 is allowed to contain moisture. Thereafter, the grip part 41 is grasped with a hand, and any one of the first cleaning part 7 and the second cleaning part 8 is brought into contact with the surface to be cleaned according to the material and dirt condition of the surface to be cleaned. Clean while moving in the direction. After completion of cleaning, the sponge body 3 is removed from the sponge support portion 5, and the sponge body 3 and the brush body 2 are rinsed thoroughly with hot water and then drained. At this time, the hook hole 43 of the brush body 2 may be locked to a separate hook.

As described above in detail, according to the brush 1 with a handle of this embodiment,
Since the sponge body 3 is detachably attached to the sponge support portion 5, if the sponge body 3 fails to function sufficiently, for example, if it is deteriorated or severely soiled, the sponge support portion 5 The sponge body 3 can be removed and another new sponge body can be attached and reused. Therefore, it is economical, resources can be used effectively, and the amount of garbage can be reduced. Further, since the sponge body 3 can be removed from the sponge support portion 5, both the brush portion 6 and the sponge body 3 are well drained and are hygienic. Furthermore, a first cleaning portion 7 is formed on the sponge support portion 5 on the side where the brush portion 6 is implanted, and a combination of the brush portion 6 and the sponge body 3 is formed. Since the 2nd cleaning part 8 is formed, the 1st cleaning part 7 and the 2nd cleaning part 8 can be properly used according to the material and dirt condition of a cleaning location. Therefore, for example, when the cleaning part is made of a material that is relatively hard to be scratched such as stainless steel, or when dirt is stuck, the first cleaning part 7 provided with the brush part 6 may be used for cleaning. If the material is easily scratched, such as glass, enamel, or plastic, or if it is lightly soiled, it can be cleaned by the second cleaning unit 8 made of the sponge body 3.

  Further, the side surface of the sponge body 3 is held on the inner surface of the frame of the sponge support portion 5 by utilizing the elastic restoring force of the sponge body 3 by forming the diameter of the sponge body 3 larger than the inner diameter of the sponge support portion 5. Can be made. Further, the sponge body 3 can be easily attached to and detached from the sponge support body 5. Therefore, since a complicated attaching / detaching mechanism and attaching / detaching parts for attaching the sponge body 3 to the sponge support body 5 are unnecessary, it is easy to manufacture and the cost can be reduced.

  In addition, since the sponge body 3 is a continuous foam and has excellent water retention and detergent retention, water and detergent are appropriately applied from the sponge body 3 to the brush part 6 having little water retention and detergent retention. Can be supplied. Therefore, the operation | work which repeatedly immerses the brush part 6 in water or a detergent becomes unnecessary, and it can clean efficiently.

  Furthermore, since one end surface of the sponge body 3 is disposed at substantially the same height as the tip of the hair body 600 of the brush portion 6, sufficient moisture and detergent are sufficiently applied from the sponge body 3 to the tip of the hair body 600. And can be cleaned more efficiently. Further, since both the end surface of the sponge body 3 and the tip of the bristle body 600 of the brush portion 6 can be brought into contact with the surface to be cleaned, the brush portion 6 can remove dirt from the uneven portions of the surface to be cleaned. At the same time as scraping, the sponge body 3 can wipe off the scraped dirt. Therefore, it is possible to clean more efficiently and cleanly with the synergistic effect of the cleaning function of both the brush and the sponge.

  In addition, since the concave bottomed hole 31 for introducing the detergent is formed in the substantially central portion of the end surface of the sponge body 3, the detergent can be accommodated in the bottomed hole 31. Therefore, liquid detergents as well as powder detergents are not easily spilled from the sponge body 3 and can be used without waste. In addition, water and detergent can be blended efficiently inside the sponge body 3, Simple and comfortable cleaning can be performed. Further, since the depth of the bottomed hole 31 is about 45 mm and the bottom surface of the bottomed hole 31 has sufficiently reached the center of the sponge body 3, detergent is poured into the bottomed hole 31, and water is poured into the sponge body 3. If it contains, detergent can be spread over the whole sponge body 3, and it can clean suitably in any side of the 1st cleaning part 7 and the 2nd cleaning part 8. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the brush body 2 and the hair body 600 constituting the brush portion 6 are made of synthetic resin, and the sponge body 3 is formed of a continuous foam made of synthetic resin. It is not limited to the above. For example, the brush body 2 may be made of metal or wooden. Hair body 600 may be natural hair such as animal hair or palm hair, or may be metal hair. Furthermore, the sponge body may be made of an elastic material, and may be a net-like material made of synthetic fiber or metal, for example.

  Moreover, although this Embodiment was used especially for the cleaning of the water circumference part, if the material and shape of the brush main body 2, the hair body 600, and the sponge body 3 differ, it can be used for various uses. For example, it can be used for kitchen utensils such as pots and tableware, body washing of automobiles, and also suitable for washing shoes such as sneakers. Furthermore, it can also be used as a face washing brush or body brush.

  Further, since the sponge body 3 only needs to be compressed by hand and inserted into the sponge support 5, for example, on the end surface opposite to the side to be inserted into the sponge support 5, a different material having no elasticity, for example, pumice stone, is used. Etc. may be attached. In this way, the elasticity of the sponge body 3 can be used to hold it on the sponge support body 5, and a cleaning effect by using a different material can be obtained, and cleaning can be performed more effectively.

  The shape of the sponge support 2 may be an annular frame, and the shape of the frame may be circular or polygonal.

  Furthermore, when attaching the sponge body 3 to the sponge support body 5, the bottomed hole 31 forming surface may be on the first cleaning section 7 side or on the second cleaning section 8 side. Further, the number of the bottomed holes 31 is not limited to one and may be plural. Furthermore, it may be formed on both surfaces of the first cleaning unit 7 side and the second cleaning unit 8 side.

  Further, the shape of the concave portion formed in the sponge body 3 is not limited to the bottomed hole 31 and may be a concave groove, for example.

  Further, a misalignment prevention portion for preventing misalignment of the sponge body 3 may be provided on the inner surface of the sponge support 5. As the misalignment prevention unit, for example, a plurality of conical protrusions may be provided along the inner surface of the frame, or a rough uneven portion may be formed on the entire inner surface of the frame. In this way, the side surface portion of the sponge body 3 can be locked to the inner surface of the frame of the sponge support body 5, so that a synergistic effect with the pressure contact force to the sponge support body 5 due to the elastic restoring force of the sponge body 3 is achieved. The sponge body 3 can be more securely locked to the inner surface of the frame of the sponge support body 5. Therefore, even when an external force is applied to the sponge body 3 such as during a cleaning operation, the positional displacement of the sponge body 3 can be effectively prevented.

  Further, the handle 4 is not limited to the shape described above, and may have another shape. For example, the length may be increased so as to be suitable for cleaning the ceiling or the wall, or a structure that can be expanded and contracted may be provided. In the present embodiment, the handle 4 and the sponge support 5 are integrally formed. However, the handle 4 may be provided to be removable from the sponge support 5. In this way, when the handle 4 is unnecessary, the handle 4 can be removed and used, and when the handle 4 is damaged or deformed, it can be replaced with a new handle. In addition, if a plurality of patterns having different shapes are prepared as the handle 4 and can be replaced with respect to the sponge support 5, an optimum handle can be attached and used at the cleaning portion, so that cleaning can be performed more efficiently. it can.
