[0011]
According to the brush as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
(A) Since the synthetic resin base 10 and the second and third brush portions 12 and 13 are integrally formed, it is not necessary to plant the brush portions 12 and 13.
Therefore, the productivity is excellent.
(B) Since the first brush portion 11 is planted on one surface 10a of the plate-like base portion 10 made of synthetic resin, and the second brush portion 12 is integrally formed on the other surface 10b, these The first and second brush portions 11 and 12 can be used properly. Since the 1st brush part 11 is formed by flocking, it can be used as a comparatively soft brush part, and since the 2nd brush part 12 is shape | molded integrally with the base 10, the relatively hard brush part and can do.
And since the 2nd brush part 12 is shape | molded integrally with the base 10 not by flocking, the thickness (thickness for providing the hole similar to the said hole 16) of the plate-shaped base 10 required for flocking is obtained. It becomes unnecessary.
Therefore, according to this brush, although the different types of brush portions 11 and 12 are provided on both surfaces 10a and 10b of the plate-like base portion 10, it is not always necessary to form the plate-like base portion 10 thick. That is, the plate-like base portion 10 can be made thin.
(C) A plate-like base portion 10 made of synthetic resin, a brush portion 11 provided on at least one surface 10a of the plate-like base portion 10, and a gripping portion 20 provided integrally with the plate-like base portion 10. Therefore, the object to be cleaned (in this case, the shoes) can be cleaned with the brush unit 11 with the grip 20.
Since the U-shaped slit 14 is formed in the plate-like base portion 10 along the inner periphery of the peripheral edge portion 10d, the plate-like base portion 10 has portions 15 corresponding to both ends of the U-shaped slit 14. It becomes possible to rotate around the center. In addition, since the plate-like base portion 10 is rotatable around the portions corresponding to the both end portions 15 of the U-shaped slit 14, it is difficult for bending to occur, and as a result, the front end surface of the brush portion 11. 11a becomes difficult to bend.
Therefore, the brush surface 11a can be fitted to the object to be cleaned and cleaned.
Further, since the plate-like base portion 10 can be rotated around the portions corresponding to both end portions 15 of the U-shaped slit 14, a ball joint or the like is not required, and the structure is simplified.
That is, according to this brush, the base 10 provided with the brush portion 11 can be rotated, but the structure is simple and the tip surface 11a of the brush portion 11 is difficult to bend.
(D) A concave portion is formed in an inner portion 17 defined by the U-shaped slit 14 on the surface 10b opposite to the surface 10a on which the first brush portion 11 is provided in the plate-like base 10. Since the finger contact portion 18 is provided, it is possible to strongly wash the object to be cleaned by applying a finger (for example, thumb or index finger) to the finger contact portion.
Moreover, since the concave finger rest 19 is also provided at the connecting portion between the plate-like base 10 and the grip 20, the object to be cleaned can be strongly washed by placing a finger on the finger rest 19. In this case, since the plate-like base 10 can be rotated, the brush surface 11a can be fitted to the object to be cleaned for cleaning.
(E) The base 10 is provided with a rod-shaped gripping portion 20, and a brush portion for washing the toe portion on the inner side of the shoe at the tip portion 10 c on the opposite side of the base portion 10 provided with the gripping portion 20. Since 13 is integrally molded with the base portion 10, the toe portion inside the shoe can be washed well. Moreover, since the brush portion 13 is formed integrally with the base portion 10, it can be made relatively hard.
Therefore, dust and the like clogged in the toe portion inside the shoe can be removed well.
(F) The first brush portion 11 is a brush portion for washing the inner surface of the shoe, and the second brush portion 12 is a brush portion for washing the bottom surface of the shoe. The inner and bottom surfaces can be washed well.
(G) Brush portions 11, 12, and 13 for washing shoes are provided at one end of the rod-shaped gripping portion 20, and a protrusion portion 22 for removing pebbles and the like sandwiched between shoe soles is provided at the other end portion 21. Therefore, when the shoes are washed with the brush portions 11, 12, and 13 and pebbles or the like are sandwiched between the shoe soles, these can be removed by the protrusions 22.
