Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brush washing machine. 2. Description of the Related Art In general, a brush for a brush is obtained by bundling animal hair and the like into a spike and fixing the spike. The length of the spike is different between a long spike, a medium spike, and a short spike. The thickness is indicated by a symbol such as No. 1, No. 2, etc., and becomes thinner as the numerical value becomes larger.
In addition, these ears are broadly classified into hardened brushes hardened with cloth laver and loose brushes that have been loosened. When any of the brushes is left as it is after use, glue or the like contained in the ink is dried at the tip of the brush and the flexibility of the ear is impaired, which causes a shortening of the life of the brush. Therefore, it is generally said that it is better to wash the spikes with water after use, hang them with the spikes down using a string or the like attached to a shaft, and dry in the shade. [0003] By the way, it is difficult for beginners to use a loosening brush from the beginning, so in many cases a hardening brush is used by loosening the tip of the brush to a good length, usually about two-thirds of the ear, and after using the brush. When washing, only the used part is washed away. [0004] However, even with a hardened brush, it is actually difficult to wash only the used portion when washing the tip of the brush after use. Insufficient brush washing and ink remaining on the ears often result in solidification of glue and the like, impairing the flexibility of the ears. Also, if the hardened portion is washed beyond the loosened portion, the cloth will be washed away even in the hardened portion of the seaweed, making it impossible to use the hardened brush as it is. In addition, in the case of young children, there were some inconveniences such as soiling the surroundings when washing the brush. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a brush washing machine that can easily wash a brush even for beginners and children without damaging the tips. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a funnel-shaped support for supporting a spike with a brush tip facing downward in a water tank provided with a water injection section and a drain section. And an opening or notch provided on a side surface of the support portion so that the washing water flowing from the water injection portion reaches the drainage portion through the tip of the ear, and the support portion is provided with a root of the ear.
Hold the spikes so that the tip excluding the base is below the surface of the water
It is characterized by that. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a brush washer according to the present invention. In this brush washer 2, an inner bottom surface 3a of a water tub 3 is formed in an elliptical shape, and the bottom surface 3a is moved from the bottom surface 3a to an edge 3b. spread,
It is formed in a mortar shape. A handle 5 is integrally formed on one side in the major diameter direction of the edge 3b, and on the other side, a drain port 4a which is inclined downward as a drain section, and rises about 1 cm from the inner bottom face 3a on a wall surface 3c thereunder. A small drain port 4b is provided at the position. The handle 5
Is very convenient when used, but it is not necessary. A funnel-shaped support portion 8 into which the spike 7 of the brush 6 is inserted from the tip is provided at a position from the center of the inner bottom surface 3a of the water tank 3 by the drain port 4b, and the left side of the support portion 8 is a water injection portion 10. I have. Also, the mouth 18 of the support portion 8 is located at the edge 3b of the water tank 3.
It is provided to be higher. In addition, when the brush 6 is No. 3 or 4, the opening 18 of the support portion 8 is 13 mm to 15 mm in diameter.
mm. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of holes 9 are formed in the support section 8 so that water injected into the water tank 3 enters the support section 8. These holes 9 are formed with an inclination from top to bottom from the outer wall 8a of the support portion 8 toward the inner wall 8b, but the holes 9a of the pointed end 8c of the support portion 8 are upward from the inner wall 8b toward the outer wall 8a. It is opened with a downward slope. After the brush 6 is used, the spike 7 is inserted into the support portion 8. At this time, the portion containing ink is expanded and adheres to the inner wall of the support portion 8. The brush 6 does not fall down easily because it is pressed down integrally. Handle 5 widely opened as water injection section 10 in water tank 3
When water is injected from the side, the water flows through a plurality of holes 9 opened in the support portion 8. Since the drain port 4b is small, the water (indicated by an arrow) immediately fills the water tank, and the ink of the brush 6 inserted into the support portion 8 is washed off and the drain port 4a,
4b. At this time, even if the brush shaft 16 is moved up and down, the holes 9 except for the holes 9a formed in the support portion 8 are formed with an inclination from top to bottom from the outer wall 8a to the inner wall 8b of the support portion 8. So that the ear 7 of the brush 6 is not damaged. Further, water flows into the support portion 8 through a hole 9 having the same height or less as the edge 3b of the water tank 3, and the root 7a of the spike 7 of the brush 6 is located above the opening 18 of the support portion 8. Since the mouth 18 protrudes from the edge 3b of the water tank 3, the root 7a does not get wet. Further, since the drain port 4b is located at the bottom, the heavy ink which sinks is also washed away. After the ink has been washed away, the water in the water tank 3 is drained, and the brush 6 is inserted into the support portion 8 as it is. When the water contained in the spikes 7 passes through the hole 9a provided in the tip 8c of the support portion 8, Flow out. The water flowing out to the inner bottom surface 3a of the water tank 3 does not spill outside because the drainage port 4 is located about 1 cm above the inner bottom surface 3a. In addition, brush 6
Can be directly inserted into the support portion 8 and dried. Next, a brush washing machine according to a second embodiment is shown in FIGS. This brush washing machine 20 designed and arranged with fish has a water tank 30 as a body and a tail part formed like a trumpet as a water injection part 21. The bottom surface 31 is formed flat so that it is easy to stabilize, and the mouth portion and the gill portion of the fish are provided as drainage ports 22, 23, and 24 about 1 cm above the bottom surface 31. On the part corresponding to the back, two support parts 25 and 26 for inserting the brush from the tip
Is provided as if it were a dorsal fin. In this embodiment, the support 25 has a diameter of 13 to 15 mm for the third and fourth brushes,
Are provided with a size of 5 mm in diameter for brushes thinner than No. 7. If the diameter of the support portion 26 is changed, a thick brush can be used, and this is convenient particularly when it is necessary to measure the water surface as in the case of a short fist brush. As shown in FIG. 3, the support portion 25 has a funnel shape with an open bottom, and a comb-shaped notch 27 is provided around a portion that enters the water tank portion 30. . The edges of these notches 27 are all rounded, as shown in FIG. A rubber ring 28 that elastically holds the brush shaft 61 when the brush 60 is inserted is attached to the insertion port 26 a of the other support portion 26.
Therefore, the insertion length of the brush shaft 61 can be changed in the support portion 26. In addition, although the support parts 25 and 26 are detachable with respect to the water tank part 30, they may be fixed types. When water is injected from the water injection section 21 into the water tank 30, the water flows from the comb-shaped notch 27 provided in the support section 25. The brushes 6, 60 inserted into the support portions 25, 26
Is washed off and flushed out of the drain ports 22, 23, 24. At this time, brushes 6, ears 7 of 60, root 7 of 70
Since a and 70a are located above the ports 23d and 24d of the support portions 23 and 24 and protrude from the water tank portion 30, they do not get wet. The funnel-shaped support portion 25 is provided with two-thirds from the root 7a so that the spikes 7 expanded with ink and moisture lose their elasticity and lose stability after draining.
The step is supported so as to be gripped by the comb-shaped convex portion 25c. Since the edge of the notch 27 is rounded, the tip of the ear 7 does not hurt even if the brush shaft 16 is moved up and down. After the ink has been washed away, the water in the water tank 30 is drained, and the brushes 6, 60 are directly inserted into the support portions 23, 24.
It flows out from the hole 9a of the pointed end portions 23c and 24c of 24.
The water that collects in the water tank 30 has a drain port 22 that is 1
cm so it doesn't spill outside.
Alternatively, the brushes 6 and 60 can be directly inserted into the support portion 8 and dried. Next, a third embodiment is shown in FIG. In this brush washing machine 40, the water tank 43 extends from the inner bottom surface 43a to the edge 43b, and a handle 45 is formed on one side surface in the long diameter direction of the water tank 43 so as to be easy to handle, and the other is inclined downward as a drainage part. A drain port 44a is provided. And the support part 8 wound up spirally and formed in a funnel shape
Is provided from the center of the inner bottom surface 43a of the water tank 43 by the drain port 44, and the left side of the support portion 48 is
