The left side view of the brush 1, FIG. 6 is a plan view of the cleaning brush 1, FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the cleaning brush 1, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view in which the drip receiving portion 13 of the cleaning brush 1 is conical. FIG. 9 shows a state in which the pedestal portion 15 of the cleaning brush 1 is separated from the cleaning brush 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the total length H of the cleaning brush 1 is 100 mm or more and 1000 mm or less, preferably 200 mm or more and 800 mm or less, and more preferably 300 mm or more and 600 mm or less.

The cleaning brush 1 has a holder portion 11 for gripping the brush. The holder portion 11 may have a cylindrical shape as shown in the figure, or may have irregularities so as to fit a polygonal prism shape or a shape held by hand. The material of the holder portion 11 is not limited, but is preferably made of metal or plastic. The diameter D1 of the holder portion 11 is 10 mm or more and 100 mm or less, preferably 20 mm or more and 80 mm or less, and more preferably 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less.

The cleaning brush 1 has a handle portion 12 extending upward from the holder portion 11. As shown in the figure, the handle portion 12 has the same shape as the holder portion 11, and may be a cylindrical shape or a polygonal prism shape. The material of the handle portion 12 is not limited, but like the holder portion 11, it is preferably made of metal or plastic. The handle portion 12 is preferably light and durable, and the diameter D2 may be smaller or larger than D1 and is 2 mm or more and 40 mm or less, preferably 3 mm or more and 30 mm or less, and more preferably 5 mm or more and 20 mm or less. Further, the diameter D2 does not have to be uniform, and may be gradually reduced from the upper portion or gradually increased.

The cleaning brush 1 has a drop receiving portion 13 in the middle portion of the handle portion 12. The droplet receiver 13 shown in the figure has a bract shape in which the handle portion 12 is wrapped with a single plate-shaped member, and has a flower-shaped droplet receiver shaped like a petal of a color (Calla lily) which is a kind of flower. Part 13a. The best form is preferably the same shape that visually evokes an aesthetic appearance, but a simple conical drop receiving portion 13b may be used as shown in FIG.

In the present best embodiment, the length of the brush bristles 14a is adjusted so that the outermost shape thereof has a shape similar to the outer shape of a scrubbing brush (bundle) for cleaning.

The brush portion 14, the brush bristles 14a, and 14b are formed of, for example, a synthetic resin such as EVA resin (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin). EVA resin is a resin having excellent flexibility and water repellency. The brush bristles 14a and 14b are not limited to EVA resin, but may be animal bristles or other synthetic resins.

Since the surface of the recent toilet bowl itself is hard-coated, it is possible to reduce the adhesion of filth. Therefore, it is desirable that the brush portion 14 is made of a soft material rather than a hard material.

After cleaning is completed, the cleaning brush 1 is fixed upright with the brush portion 14 facing upward as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. As shown in the figure, the holder portion 11 may have a trapezoidal pillar shape, a cylindrical shape, or a polygonal pillar shape. The cleaning brush 1 is provided with a base portion 15 at the end of the holder portion 11 for the purpose of standing upright. In order to stand upright, the bottom diameter D3 of the stand portion 15 is 50 mm or more and 300 mm or less, preferably 80 mm or more and 200 mm or less, and more preferably 100 mm or more and 150 mm or less, which is larger than the diameter D1 of the holder portion 11.

The stand portion 15 may be integrated with the cleaning brush 1 or may be separable. As shown in FIG. 9, when separating, the drawing base portion 15 is provided with an insertion hole 16 having a diameter D4 which is several mm larger than the diameter D1 of the holder portion 11 so that the holder portion 11 can be inserted.

[Application form of the present invention]
As an application example of the present invention, the cleaning brush 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the cleaning brush 1c before the conical drop receiving portion 13b is attached, and FIG. 11 is a state of the cleaning brush 1c after the conical drop receiving portion 13b is attached.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the overall length H of the cleaning brush 1c is 100 mm or more and 1000 mm or less, preferably 200 mm or more and 800 mm or less, and more preferably 300 mm or more and 600 mm or less, as in the case of the cleaning brush 1, which is the best form. Is.

The cleaning brush 1c includes a holder portion 11 for gripping the brush, and the diameter D1 of the holder portion 11 is 10 mm or more and 100 mm or less, preferably 20 mm or more and 80 mm or less, more preferably, like the cleaning brush 1 which is the best form. Is 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less, but has a diameter smaller than the diameter D4 of the lower part of the conical drop receiving portion 13b. This is for mounting from the bottom.

The cleaning brush 1c has a handle portion 12 extending upward from the holder portion 11. As shown in the figure, the handle portion 12 has the same shape as the holder portion 11, but gradually becomes thicker toward the upper part. This is for fixing the conical drop receiving portion 13b.

The cleaning brush 1 has a non-slip portion 17 in the middle portion of the handle portion 12. The non-slip portion 17 is provided for fixing the conical drop receiving portion 13b. As shown in FIG. 11, when the conical drop receiving portion 13b is raised from the bottom and the diameter becomes D4, the conical drop receiving portion 13b is not raised any further and is fixed by the non-slip portion 17. The material of the member of the non-slip portion 17 is not limited, but rubber, plastic, etc., which are polymer materials having a high frictional force so that the conical droplet receiving portion 13b can be fixed by the frictional force, are preferable.

After cleaning is completed, the cleaning brush 1c is fixed upright with the brush portion 14 facing upward as shown in FIG. The cleaning brush 1c is provided with a base portion 15 at the end of the holder portion 11 as in the best form for the purpose of standing upright.

The stand portion 15 can be separated so that the conical drop receiving portion 13c can be attached. As shown in FIG. 11, when separating, the drawing base portion 15 is provided with an insertion hole 16 having a diameter D4 which is several mm larger than the diameter D1 of the holder portion 11 so that the holder portion 11 can be inserted.
