Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brush washer for washing a calligraphy brush and a paintbrush.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in various classrooms where brushes are used, each brush has been washed one by one after use. At that time, brush 1
Since it takes time to wash the books one by one, there is a risk that the washing place will be crowded. Also, if you flush the dirty water after washing,
Not only was it very troublesome that the washing place was dirty and had to be cleaned, it was not preferable in terms of environmental pollution.

[0003]

The present inventor has already proposed the brush-washing device of Japanese Patent Application No. 2-29866 in order to solve the above problems. This brush cleaner attaches a brush to the rotating plate,
Water is poured into a water receiver provided below the rotary plate, the brush is attached to the water receiver, and then the rotary plate is rotated. Then, by rotating the rotating plate, the dirty water attached to the hair of the brush is blown off by centrifugal force.

However, the brush-washing device having the above-mentioned structure has a problem that high-speed rotation is required in order to efficiently remove the dirty water by centrifugal force. In particular, a high-speed rotation cannot be obtained when the rotary plate is manually rotated, so a brush washer that can efficiently remove dirty water in the case of manual rotation has been desired.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a brush washer capable of efficiently removing dirty water from the brush hair not only when it is manually operated but also when it is rotated at high speed.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a rotating plate rotatably supported, a plurality of brush attachment portions provided on an outer peripheral portion of the rotating plate, and the rotating plate are provided. The gist is that it includes an enclosing wall portion and an interference member that is located inside the wall portion and that is arranged so as to interfere with the hair of the tip of the brush attached to the brush attachment portion when the rotating plate rotates.

[0007]

In the present invention, when the rotary plate is rotated with the brush attached to the brush attachment portion of the rotary plate, the dirty water attached to the brush hair is blown off from the hair by centrifugal force. Further, when the bristles of the brush hit the interference member, the bristles are squeezed by the interference member and the dirty water is splashed from the hair.

[0008]

When the gripping member 16 is pushed downward against the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 19, when the axis of the handle 52 of the brush 50 becomes parallel to the rotation center of the rotating plate 14, the gripping member 16 is moved by the stopper portion 20. It is supposed to be retained.

A supporting hole 21 is formed at the center of the rotating plate 14, and a cylindrical mounting member 22 with a lid is provided on the rotating plate 14 so as to project from the peripheral edge of the supporting hole 21 corresponding to the supporting hole 21. It is erected so as to be attachable to and detachable from the boss 22b. A suspension shaft 23 is inserted into the support hole 21, and the suspension shaft 2
The lower end of 3 passes through the pillar 10 and is rotatably inserted into a support plate 26 located above the base 2. This hanging shaft 23
Is fixed to the inner top surface of the mounting member 22. The wire 12 is inserted through the suspension shaft 23. Wire 12
Has an upper end fixed to the inner top surface of the mounting member 22 and a lower end fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 26. Further, the mounting member 22 can take an upper moving position separated upward from the boss 22b and a lower moving position mounted on the bearing 22b.

Four support arms 27 are formed on the support plate 26 at intervals of 90 degrees, and each support arm 27 extends to the outside of the column 10 through each notch 11 of the column 10. A water cylinder 28 having a bottomed double cylindrical shape is attached to each support arm 27 on the outer side of the column 10.
The inside is partitioned by a plurality of partition plates 29, and the same number of small chambers 30 as the mounting recesses 15 of the rotary plate 14 are arranged between the partition plates 29 side by side in the circumferential direction of the water receiver 28. A spreading plate 32 that spreads obliquely upward is formed on the entire outer circumference of the water receiver 28. An annular mark portion 33 is formed above the peripheral wall of the water receiver 28 on the side close to the outer circumference of the column 10.

A coil spring 34 as an interference member is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the wall portion 5, and the tip of the coil spring 34 extends toward the support column 10 side. When the rotary plate 10 rotates, the brush 50 attached to the gripping member 16 is attached. When it faces the outside, it hits the bristles 51 of the brush 50.

In this brush-washing device, the column 10 can be disassembled from the base 2, and each member can be washed. Now, when using the brush-washing device configured as described above, the following procedure is taken.

First, water is put in advance in each of the small chambers 30 in each of the water receivers 28 with a jug (not shown). Next, the rotating plate 14
In any mounting recess 15 of the
Insert the handle 52 of the brush 50 with the
When the appropriate position H of the handle is aligned with the mark 33, the handle 52
Is gripped by the gripping member 16. At this time, the gripping member 16
The handle 52 is set upright as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 1 without tilting. It should be noted that paper 53 such as calligraphy paper or sawdust is put in the container 1 in advance.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, when the mounting member 22 is lifted and the suspension shaft 23 is moved upward, each small chamber 3 of the water receiver 28 is moved.
The bristles 51 are dipped into the water in 0 to the position H as appropriate. . Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the mounting member 22 is moved downward to move the boss 2
When placed on 2b, the water receiver 28 is placed on the base 2 and returns to its original position.

Next, when each gripping member 16 is tilted upward as shown in FIG. 1, each brush 50 is tilted so that the hairs 51 of the brushes 50 face the wall portion 5. Then, when the handle 14a is gripped and the rotary plate 14 is rotated, the dirty water on the bristles 51 is removed by the centrifugal force.
Be skipped from 1. When the bristles 51 of the rotating brush 50 hit the coil spring 34, the bristles 51 are squeezed and the dirty water in the bristles 51 is efficiently ejected. The coil spring 34 bends in the rotation direction of the bristles 51 when the bristles 51 hit vigorously, but returns to the original position by its elastic force.
Also, the sewage that has been blown drops directly onto the paper 53 in the container 1 or drips from the hole 6. The dirty water is absorbed by the paper 53.

When the dirt on the hair 51 cannot be sufficiently removed by performing such an operation once, the series of operations described above is repeated. The paper 53 that has absorbed the dirty water in the container 1 is properly taken out of the container 1 and discarded.

As described above, in this embodiment, a plurality of brushes 50 are attached to each holding member 16 of the rotary plate 14, and the rotary plate 14 is attached.
Since the dirty water on the hair 51 of the brush 50 can be removed at the same time by the centrifugal force of, the cleaning of the brush 50 becomes very easy,
Further, the bristles 51 hit the coil spring 34, so that the dirty water is efficiently removed. In this case, since there is the wall portion 50 around each brush 50, there is no risk of sewage splashing outside.

Further, since the sewage falls into the container 1 and is absorbed by the paper 53, if the paper 53 is discarded, the sewage can be treated.
The collection and treatment of sewage is greatly simplified. Further, since there is a vertically movable water receiver, each gripping member 16 of the rotary plate 14
To the bristles 5 of the brush 50 without attaching or detaching a plurality of brushes 50.
1 can be immersed in the washing water in the water receiver 28, which is very convenient.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the interference member may be a bar member instead of the coil spring 34. Further, the suspension shaft 23 may be omitted and the support plate 26 may be supported only by the wire 12, or a string may be used instead of the wire. In the embodiment described above, the rotary plate 14
Is operated manually, the rotating plate 14 may be rotated at high speed by an electric motor.
