  In recent years, pets, such as pets, so-called dogs, cats, and birds, have been increasingly bred at home in tandem with the nuclear family, the declining birthrate, and the aging society and expecting a healing effect. . When these pets are placed close to one another and are carefully handled and comforted, the pets are often held or held, and at that time, the pet's hair and feathers often adhere to clothes. These attached hairs and feathers have long hair feet and are often fine in size, so they cannot be removed neatly even when brushed with a normal clothing brush, or once removed and reattached. It was difficult to completely remove such a material. Further, although the technique of Patent Document 1 can be evaluated as such, it requires a surface coated with an adhesive, and there is a problem in labor and cost for replacement.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has as its object the purpose of a clothing brush having a simple configuration capable of easily removing dust and dirt attached to clothing, including pet hair and feathers. Is provided.

  In order to achieve the above object, a clothing brush according to the present invention (claim 1) is a clothing brush having a brush surface comprising a short pile group on one side, the brush being brought into contact with the back surface of the brush surface of the short pile group. And a liquid retaining porous body is provided. Further, a clothing brush according to the present invention (claim 2) is characterized in that, in the clothing brush according to claim 1, the short pile group is constituted by an inclined pile group.

  If the brush surface composed of the group of short piles is brushed in a wet state, not only dust and dirt but also hairs and feathers can adhere to the brush surface and be efficiently removed. If the group of short piles on the brush surface is kept in a wet state, that is, a state in which the liquid seeps out to the extent that the liquid does not transfer to the clothes because it is too wet, the removal effect is large. For this reason, if the liquid holding porous body in which the liquid is held inside and the dripping state is provided over almost the entire back surface of the brush surface of the short pile group is provided, the holding of the liquid holding porous body is achieved. The liquid that has penetrated into the brush surface on which the short piles were planted by capillary action to keep the short piles moist. The function of the liquid is to promote the adhesion of dirt, dust, hair, feathers, etc. to the short pile group, and to prevent the generation of static electricity or to escape, thereby adhering dirt, dust, hairs, feathers, etc. Build an environment that is easy to do and does not re-scatter. This liquid may be water alone or water containing a surfactant. By making the short pile group into an inclined pile, if brushing is performed in the direction of the inclined pile to remove dust, dust, hair, feathers, and the like, the removal effect is increased. To replenish the liquid-retaining porous material, remove the liquid-retaining porous material from the brush, immerse it in the solution, and then squeeze it appropriately into the brush again, or refill the liquid-retaining porous material. The liquid may be dropped into the liquid and then immersed in the liquid, and then charged into the brush again. In the case of a handy type brush or a mittens type brush among clothes brushes, it is also possible to replenish the liquid by immersing the entire brush in the liquid and then squeezing as appropriate.

  The clothing brush according to the present invention (claim 3) is the clothing brush according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a liquid tank is provided on a back surface of the liquid-retaining porous body, and one or more liquid tanks are provided from the liquid tank. The liquid supply port is configured to be in contact with the back surface of the liquid-retaining porous body.

  In the case of a patterned clothing brush as shown in FIG. 3, one or more of the brush surface composed of the short pile group and the liquid-retaining porous body in contact with the brush surface of the short pile group and one or more of the liquid-retaining porous body are provided. When the liquid tanks whose liquid ports are in contact with each other are stacked in a sandwich shape, the brush surface can be constantly maintained in a wet state.

  The clothing brush according to the present invention (claim 4) is the clothing brush according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the liquid-retaining porous body is a rubber sponge, a synthetic resin sponge, or a sponge. , And paper felt.

  As described above, the clothing brush according to the present invention can efficiently remove not only garbage and dust attached to clothes but also hairs and feathers of pets and the like with a simple structure by attaching the brush to the brush surface. can do. In addition, the clothing brush according to the present invention can be appropriately applied to a handy-type clothing brush, a mitten-type clothing brush, and a patterned brush in consideration of a location when used. Further, the clothing brush can have aesthetics and fashionability, and can be economically practical household props.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view (a), a perspective view (b), and a cross-sectional view (A-A) of the hand-type clothes brush according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view (a) of the mitten type clothes brush according to another embodiment of the present invention, as viewed from the brush surface, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view (a) of a brush surface of a patterned clothing brush according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.

  The embodiment of the clothes brush according to the present invention has three main forms, a handy-type clothes brush, a mitten-type clothes brush, and a patterned clothes brush.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the handy-type clothes brush has a closed bag shape in which a brush surface 1 and a cover base 9 are sewn at the periphery, and fingers are inserted into the cover base 9 to make a handy-type clothes brush. Is provided with a finger passage 7 for facilitating rubbing in the brushing direction. From the brush surface 1 to the cover 9, the liquid-retaining porous body 2 and the backing plate 3 exist in a sandwich shape. The brush surface 1 has a multiplicity of inclined pile groups 1a arranged in the direction of the finger normally inserted, and the inclined direction of the inclined pile group 1a is generally a direction orthogonal to the direction of the finger. The material of the inclined pile group 1a is preferably made of polyester, nylon or polypropylene, and has a property of not breaking easily even when wet with a liquid, that is, a material which does not impair the function of scooping up and removing garbage and hair and the like required for clothes brushes. Good. In addition, the inclined pile group 1a, which is composed of a short nap group, is easily wetted over the entire nap group by the liquid brought from the liquid-retentive porous body 2 from the back of the brush surface 1, and the garment brush of the present invention. Function can be fully demonstrated. The inclination direction of the inclined pile group 1a may be a direction orthogonal to the finger inserted into the finger passage 7 of the handy-type clothes brush, and the inclination direction may be uniform in one direction.

  The liquid retaining porous body 2 that is in contact with the brush surface 1 of the inclined pile group 1a may be a sponge-like material having open cells so that the liquid is retained in the porous body and the liquid does not leak easily. Rubber sponge, synthetic resin sponge, sponge or paper felt similar to sponge may be used. The shape is preferably a width that can be inserted from the insertion opening 10 provided in the cover fabric of the handy-type clothes brush and that is in contact with almost the entire area of the brush surface 1, and the thickness also depends on the holding amount of the liquid. However, a range of 3 to 10 mm is preferable. As the liquid quality, it is easy to mix with the inclined pile material, and it is easy for dust, dust, hairs and feathers to adhere to the inclined pile material, and it is difficult for re-dispersion due to static electricity and the like to occur, and does not damage clothes cloth etc. The liquid quality is suitable, and the liquid is preferably an aqueous solution containing water or a trace amount of a surfactant.

  The backing plate 3 existing over the entire back surface of the liquid-retaining porous body 2 is desirably a plate made of a material having a certain degree of hardness without being wetted by a liquid, and is usually a plate made of synthetic resin and having a thickness of 1 to 2 mm. Is good. When this is present, the penetration of liquid from the liquid-retaining porous body 2 is prevented, the cover cloth is not wetted, and when a brush is used, local pressure reduction of the finger is relieved and the liquid-retaining porous body is softened. 2. Excessive liquid is suppressed by pressing too much. In addition, there is also an effect that the brush surface 1 can be easily brushed by making the brush surface 1 easily contact the clothes.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mitten-type clothes brush is manufactured in a mitten shape. Explaining only points that are structurally different from the handy-type clothes brush, when the liquid-retentive porous body 2 is inserted from the insertion opening 10 in the cover ground 9 of the mittens, the palm lacks the thumb part. It is preferable that the porous body is formed in the shape of a palm. It is also desirable to provide the short inclined pile group 1a as a whole as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the patterned clothes brush has a handle 8, and has a brush body 6 having an elliptical opening and an internal space formed by the opening and the back of the brush body 6. It is composed of a brush surface 1 fitted to the periphery of the opening. A liquid retaining porous body 2 is provided in contact with the inside of the brush surface 1 of the short inclined pile group 1a, and a liquid tank having one or more liquid supply ports 4a on the back surface of the liquid retaining porous body 2. 4 is provided. The liquid tank 4 can be bonded to the inside of the brush body 6, and the liquid supply section of the liquid tank 4 is provided with a replenishing liquid pipe 5 a penetrating the brush body 6 and a replenishing liquid stopper 5 b. The replenishing liquid stopper 5b is provided with a fine hole through which outside air flows, to facilitate the supply of the liquid discharged from the liquid tank 4 to the liquid retaining porous body 2 through the liquid supply port 4a, and to adjust the liquid amount. It is also possible to do. The backing plate 3 provided on the back surface of the liquid-retaining porous body 2 can be used as long as the liquid tank 4 is large enough to cover the back surface of the brush surface 1, and if the liquid tank 4 is small, the backing plate 3 can be used. It may be provided.

  The brushing using the clothing brush according to the present invention will be described. First, the liquid is contained in the liquid-retaining porous body 2. In the case of the handy-type or mitten-type clothing brush according to the present invention, the liquid-retaining property is improved. The porous body 2 is taken out from the insertion port 10 of the brush, immersed in the liquid, and then squeezed so that the liquid does not drip, and then returned to the brush. As another method, it is possible to make the liquid-retaining porous body 2 contain a liquid by immersing only the brush surface 1 in the liquid. The liquid-retentive porous body 2 is inside the brush, and the loss of the liquid other than during use is only spontaneous evaporation from the brush surface 1, so it is not necessary to supply the liquid repeatedly. Further, in the case of a brush for clothes with a handle, if the liquid is supplied to the liquid tank 4, the liquid can be supplied from the liquid tank 4 to the liquid-retaining porous body 2. In any of the clothes brushes, the brush surface 1 composed of the inclined pile group 1a can be wet by making the liquid-retaining porous body 2 contain a liquid.

  If the surface of the garment is brushed in the inclined direction of the inclined pile group 1a using the brush surface 1 composed of the moist inclined pile group 1a, dust, dust, hairs, feathers and the like are wetted by the moist brush surface 1. Alternatively, the dust or the like can be easily scooped and removed by the moist and inclined pile group 1a, and the dust and the like once adhered and removed do not scatter again because they are moist and have no static electricity. Further, the dust and the like adhered to and removed from the brush surface 1 can be easily removed by rubbing with the hand or another cloth in a direction opposite to the inclination of the inclined pile group 1a, so that the brush surface 1 is always kept clean. In addition, the wet state can be maintained. The effect of removing these adhesions is that the liquid mediates between the dirt, dust, hairs, feathers and the like and the inclined pile group 1a, thereby increasing the adhesion due to surface tension, and eliminating the influence of static electricity. This is presumed to be due to prevention of generation of static electricity due to wetting and grounding and discharging the generated static electricity.

  The handy-type clothes brush according to the present invention is easy to carry, and if it is put in a bag that seals the brush, the liquid does not evaporate and the surroundings are not moistened. The effect of can be fully exhibited. Also, the patterned clothes brush is suitable for home and other installations, and has a large brush surface 1, so that it is efficient to brush clothes. The mittens-type clothes brush is a brush located between the two clothes brushes described above.

  As described above, the clothing brush according to the present invention employs a simple configuration, and has an effect of easily removing the hair and feathers of a pet animal which has been difficult to remove in the past. It is.

  The clothing brush according to the present invention can be easily removed not only from garbage and dust but also from pets such as dogs, cats, birds, etc. It can be expected to expand applications in terms of surface.
