Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool for cleaning the inside of a bathtub after use.

[Prior Art and its Problems] Conventionally, foamed resin brushes, scrubbers, and the like have been used to clean bathtubs, and the brushes have been soaked in a cleaning liquid to clean dirt inside and outside the bathtub.

However, when cleaning a conventional bathtub filled with water, you have to hold the brush in your hand and put your hand into the water, which is troublesome and inconvenient. Needless to say, it was extremely inefficient.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a bathtub cleaning tool that makes it possible to efficiently clean the inside of the bathtub without having to insert your hands into the water inside the bathtub. be.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a substantially T-shaped brush body in which a porous brush is attached to the tip of a support tube in which water absorption holes are formed, and the support tube described above. A drain pipe is detachably attached to the rear end of the pipe, a clamping part is formed at one end to detachably clamp the support pipe, and a hook part is formed at the other end to be hooked to the edge of the bathtub. The bathtub is characterized by comprising a holding rod that supports the brush body in an upright state within the bathtub.

[Function] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the rear end of the support tube is held by the holding part of the holding rod, and the hooking part of the holding rod is hooked to the edge of the bathtub to prevent the porous structure from forming. The brush is brought into close contact with the bottom of the bathtub to make the brush body stand up in the bathtub.

Water is absorbed into the support tube through the water absorption hole at the tip of the support tube and the opening at the tip of the support tube via the brushes filled in the bathtub, and is drained out of the bathtub via the drain tube.

After most of the water in the bathtub is drained by the water drainage, the inside of the bathtub is cleaned by grasping the brush body and moving the brush body according to the inner shape of the bathtub.
The waste water at this time is also drained through the above-mentioned route.

After cleaning, the brush body, drain pipe, and retaining rod are each individually removed and stored compactly.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on an illustrated example.

1 and 2 show the brush body of the present invention.
In the figure, the tip 2 of the support tube 3 is formed into a T-shape, and a plurality of water absorption holes 7 for sewage, etc. are punched through the inner and outer holes, and a porous brush is formed by compressing a large number of nonwoven fibers on the outer periphery of the tip 2. 1 is fitted and fixed. Support tube 3
is formed by screwing an on-off valve 6 into its upper periphery with a regulator 4 interposed therebetween. This support tube 3 may be a bendable flexible tube or the like.

A porous brush 1 is fitted and fixed to the outer periphery of the T-shaped end 2 of the support tube 3. A plurality of water suction holes 7 are inserted through the tip of the support tube 3 from inside to outside, and serve to suck in the dirty water sucked in by the porous brush. A regulator 4 for adjusting the water flow is loosely fitted into the upper inner periphery of the support tube 3. And support tube 3
A thumbscrew type connecting ring 8 of the drain pipe 12 is removably screwed and fixed to the rear end of the drain pipe 12 to connect the support pipe 3 and the drain pipe 1.
2 are connected.

Further, FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the drain pipe. This drain pipe 12 is formed of a flexible tube. A spherical elastic adjuster 14 connected to a thin tube is connected to the distal end of the drain pipe 12, and a butterfly-shaped connecting ring 13 is attached to the rear end. connected to.

Further, FIG. 6 shows the holding rod. This holding rod 15
is for holding the brush body in an upright position in the bathtub. The holding rod 15 has its rear end curved into a U-shape or C-shape to form a hook part 16, and its tip part curved inward into a nail-shaped shape relative to the left and right to form a clamping part 17. Become. This holding rod 15 is inserted into the small hole provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the support tube 3.
While opening the clamping part 17 to the left and right using the elasticity of the clamping part 17, the tip part is removably fitted and fixed, and the rear end of the holding rod 15 is fitted and fixed to the hook part 16 so as to straddle the upper side of the bathtub. It is designed to prevent the brush body from falling over.

A cleaning tool equipped with a brush body, a drain pipe, and a holding rod is used as shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing an example of use of the present invention.
Usually, people take a bath the night before and drain the bathtub the next day to drain the remaining hot water, but during the winter, the hot water is cold, and a drain hole in the inner bottom of the bathtub is made of elastic material. Since the stopcock is tightly inserted and closed,
The bathtub is filled with cold water.

Therefore, the upper end of the support tube 3 is supported by the holding portion 17 of the holding rod 15, and the hook portion 16 at the rear end of the support tube 3 is hooked across the edge of the bathtub b.
is brought into close contact with the inner bottom of bathtub b to raise the cleaning tool. At this time, if there is a large amount of bath water, the butterfly-shaped connecting ring 13 at the rear end of the drain pipe 12 shown in FIG. The elastic adjustment body 14 is suspended outside the bathtub and connected to the drain pipe 1.
Connect 2. When the elastic adjustment body 14 is compressed and operated to guide the cold water out of the bathtub, it is automatically discharged according to the siphon principle. When the cold water in the bathtub is running low, the user grips the rear end of the support tube 3 and moves the brush body under pressure to match the internal shape of the bathtub to clean it. In this way, dirty cold water and limescale are sucked into the brush 1, while dirty cold water flows into the support pipe 3 from both sides of the bottom surface of the tip 2 of the support pipe 3, and cold water inside the brush 1 passes through the water absorption hole 7. and gather inside the support tube 3. This collected waste water passes through the drain pipe 12 and collects in the elastic adjustment body 14, and since the flow path of the capillary tube is narrow, the cold water is quickly discharged with a strong force. Another method is to connect the connecting ring 8 connected to the rear end of the drain pipe 12 to the rear end of the support pipe 3, as shown in FIG. Elastic pipes 9 and 10 with elastic flanges are attached to the front end of the drain pipe 12 by screwing into the drain pipe 12. The elastic tubes 9 and 10 with elastic flanges are inserted into a drainage hole punched out in the bottom plate of the bathtub b and set in a sealed manner. Then, as described above, while supporting the brush body with the holding rod 15, hold the rear end of the support tube 3 and move it freely along the shape of the bathtub, and the remaining hot water or cold water will be sucked into the porous brush 1. The support tube 3 is formed so that the dirty water is collected and flows through the opening at the tip of the support tube 3 or the water suction hole 7, and is discharged together with dirt through the drain tube 12 to the outside of the bathtub b. In Fig. 5, 18 is a boiler, 19 is a circulation pipe, and the circulation pipe 19
is connected to a boiler 18 so that bath water is circulated and boiled.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, this invention has a simple structure, allows you to wash the inside of the bathtub without getting your hands dirty, separates each item after use, and puts it away in an organized manner.It is easy to operate and is practical. This is a very convenient and extremely effective idea.
