Description

The present invention relates to a toilet brush.

Today's toilet bowls are coated to prevent them from getting dirty and have an automatic cleaning function to prevent them from getting dirty.

However, it is well known that many detergents and cleaning tools for removing stains and water stains are developed and sold because these functions are not all-purpose, and toilet brushes are a typical manufacturing tool. Yes, this is mainly in the form of a pair with the storage container, and there is a protrusion on the handle or part of the handle of the brush, and it is common to set it in the storage container by hooking it on the storage container. The brush and storage container are designed as one.

JP-A-2018-143741

However, since the brush is a consumable item, a replacement brush is required depending on the frequency of use, but it may be difficult to obtain the replacement brush again due to problems such as discontinuation of the brush. Further, as a method of setting the brush in the storage container, examples of the ones currently distributed are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 as examples currently distributed.

As in this example, it is the mainstream that the handle or the protruding portion 100 of the handle is set by hooking it on a storage container.

Therefore, when setting, the lengths of the distance a in FIG. 7 and the distance b in FIG. 8 are important. For example, the toilet brush 50 cannot be set in the storage container 61 because the distance a is short.

On the contrary, the toilet brush 51 cannot be set in the storage container 60 because the distance b is long.
In this way, since the distance differs depending on the storage container, it can only be used with a dedicated replacement brush, and the current situation is that replacement by purchase is urged.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a toilet brush that enables reuse of a discarded storage container.

The toilet brush according to the present invention is a trebrush 11 having a handle portion 1 for holding by a user, a handle portion 2 extending downward from the handle portion, and a brush portion 3 provided at an end portion of the handle portion. It is characterized in that a protrusion 12 is attached to the handle 2.

In the toilet brush 11 described above, the handle portion 2 has two or more holes between the handle portion 1 and the brush portion 3 (here, three holes are used as an example, and the holes 41, in order of proximity to the handle portion 1). It has holes 42 (referred to as holes 42 and 43), and the protrusions 12 are attached to holes at locations suitable for the distance a and b of the storage container to be held, and can be used again by being caught in the storage container.

As described above, according to the present invention, the storage container to be disposed of can be reused, which can contribute to the reduction of waste.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet brush 11 without protrusions 12 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram of a protrusion 12 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view when the protrusion 12 of the toilet brush 11 according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of AA'when the protrusion 12 is attached in FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the protrusion 12 is attached to the hole 43 of the toilet brush 11 and stored in the storage container 60. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the protrusion 12 is attached to the hole 41 of the toilet brush 11 and stored in the storage container 61.

A toilet brush according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the toilet brush 11 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a view of a protrusion 12 attached to the toilet brush 11. FIG. 3 is a view when the protrusion 12 is attached to the handle 2 of the toilet brush 11 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view when the protrusion 12 is attached to the handle 2.

The toilet brush of this embodiment is composed of a toilet brush 11 and a protrusion 12.

The toilet brush 11 is composed of a handle portion 1 provided at the upper end, a handle portion 2 extending from the handle portion 1, and a brush portion 3 provided at the lower end of the handle portion 2, and the handle portion 2 has a hole. A plurality of locations (for example, three locations are used here, and holes 41, 42, and 43 are provided in order of proximity to the handle portion). The diameter of the hole is large enough to accommodate the protrusion 5 of the protrusion 12.

The protrusion 12 has a protrusion 5 and one end is open, and the other end has an arm shape 6 that covers more than half of the outer peripheral circumference of the cross section of the handle 2.

The protrusion 5 has a positioning effect by inserting the protrusion 5 into a hole at an appropriate position with respect to the distance a or distance b of the storage container held by the user, and the arm shape 6 has the toilet brush 11 when the protrusion 12 is inserted. At the same time, it also has a function of making it difficult for the protrusion 5 to come out of the hole.

Further, in this description, the handle portion 2 has a hole and the protrusion 12 has the protrusion 5, but since it is a component for positioning, the handle portion 2 has a protrusion and the protrusion 12 has a hole. It does not matter if it has.

The toilet brush 11 and the protrusion 12 are formed of, for example, a synthetic resin such as ABS resin or polypropylene.

The brush portion 4 is not too hard, but a polypropylene material having strong elasticity is used, and the hair is not densely transplanted in order to prevent the hair from getting entangled during cleaning.
