Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application] The present invention relates to a scrubber, particularly a type of scrubber in which synthetic resin fibers or single fibers such as Shiyuro are twisted between two wires.

[Prior art and its problems] As shown in Fig. 3, this type of scrubbing brush is
Single fibers are twisted between two steel wires to form a rod-shaped sliding body. Since the lengths of the single fibers (hair lengths) of this rod-shaped rubbing body are irregular, they are trimmed to a certain length using a well-known forming device to make the hair lengths uniform. The rod-shaped rubbing body has a structure in which bristles of a certain length are continuous around a wire core material. Then,
By bending this bar-shaped sliding body into a U-shape and joining both ends of the steel wire core material, a so-called turtle scrubbing brush is completed.

In the manufacturing process of this conventional tortoise scrubber, the bristles of the scrubbing body are set to a constant length suitable for scrubbing over the entire area. The length of this bristles can be adjusted in the above molding process, and in conventional scrubbing brushes, the optimal value of the bristles length is
Set empirically from both water retention capacity and frictional effect,
The single fiber of the rubbing part has a certain degree of softness and stiffness. Therefore, desired scrubbing can be achieved no matter which part of the scrubbing brush is used for scrubbing.

However, since the above-mentioned conventional device is used by grasping the rubbing portion made of the single fiber group during rubbing, there is a problem that it is difficult to grip.

This is because the rubbing portion made of a group of single fibers with a pile length suitable for the rubbing does not have sufficient stiffness to grip.

[Technical Issues] The present invention consists of twisting single fibers into a stranded wire made of a metal core material to form a rod-shaped sliding body, and bending this sliding body into a U-shape. In a type of scrubber in which a substantially annular rubbing part is formed and the core materials at the ends are joined together, the scrubber holding part is specified in order to make it easy to hold and grip during rubbing,
In addition, the technical problem is to strengthen the stiffness of the single fibers in this part.

[Technical Means] The technical means of the present invention designed to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is that a certain range from the joints at both ends of the sliding body is used as a gripping portion, and the length of the hair of this gripping portion is The length of the bristles is set to be shorter than the length of the bristles of the rubbing portion, and the length of the bristles of the gripping portion is set to a length suitable for gripping with the hand.

The above technical means of the present invention operates as follows.

The single fiber group in the gripping part, which has short bristles, has a stronger stiffness than that in the rubbing part, corresponding to the shorter bristles. Further, the strength of this waist is set to a strength suitable for gripping. Therefore, when you grip this gripping part and rub the target part with the rubbing part, the sliding force applied to the gripping part passes through the entire area of this gripping part through the single fiber group of this part. The desired sliding force is transmitted to the core material, and thus to the sliding portion.

In particular, in the sliding part, the sliding body is bent into a U-shape to form a substantially annular shape, and the gripping part is constituted by a pair of short bristles that follow this, so the entire sliding part The above-mentioned sliding force is efficiently transmitted.

[Effects] Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following unique effects.

The monofilament group of the gripping part has an appropriate stiffness, making it easy to grip.Moreover, since the metal core material is inserted throughout the gripping part, no matter which part of the gripping part is gripped, it will not slide. The frictional force is effectively transmitted to the single fiber group in the rubbing portion.

Furthermore, a core material other than a metal core material is not housed in the sliding member, and
Unlike the scrubbing brush disclosed in Publication No. 19324, it does not have a separate gripping means such as a handle, but it has a stiffness suitable for gripping by simply trimming the single fibers of the rubbing body in a certain range to reduce the diameter. This greatly simplifies the production of the scrubbing brush grip.

Further, since almost the entire gripping portion is covered with the single fiber group, even if the scrubbing brush is dropped on breakable items, the single fiber group exerts a protective function and can prevent damage to the tableware, etc.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 has the same overall shape as a conventional turtle scrubbing brush, and has a rod-shaped body (sliding cloth) in which a single fiber is twisted between two steel wires. A rubbing body) is bent into a U-shape and the hair in a certain range at both ends is shortened to form small diameter parts 1, 1, and these small diameter parts 1, 1 function as a grip part.

The scrubbing brush of this embodiment, as in the conventional case,
First, a uniform rod-shaped sliding body is formed, and then, as shown in Fig. 2, appropriate ranges at both ends are reduced in diameter.
Small diameter portions 1, 1 are formed. The length of the bristles of this small diameter portion is set in advance to a predetermined length so as to be suitable for gripping. Furthermore, the range of the small diameter portion is also set to a range suitable for gripping.

Next, the rod-shaped sliding body formed as described above is bent into a U-shape and the protruding ends 2, 2 of the stranded steel wire serving as the core material are entangled or twisted together to form a second A scrubbing brush as shown in Figure 1 is completed.

It goes without saying that the scrubbing brush of the embodiment configured as described above exhibits the above-mentioned effects, but in addition, the desired scrubbing brush can be produced by almost the same manufacturing process as the conventional turtle-ko scrubbing brush. Since this is completed, a scrubber equipped with a gripping part can be manufactured without changing conventional equipment.
