Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] A plurality of brush pieces 2 are connected to each other by contacting their respective side surfaces 2b, and the opposite side surfaces 2b are formed into a convex curved surface. The body brush 1 is constructed by attaching 5a and 5b. [Effect] By brushing the gripping strings 5a and 5b in each hand, even on the undulating surface or curved surface of the body, the side surface 2b of each brush piece 2 or 2 is adjusted according to the change of the undulating surface or curved surface.
The brush is bent at 2b to form a continuous pseudo curved surface for the brush as a whole, and the entire surface of the brush comes into contact with the brush for efficient brushing.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a body brush for washing and rubbing parts of the body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a body brush, as shown in FIG. 7, there has been a brush composed of a brush body 11 having bristles planted on one surface and a string 12 provided at both ends thereof.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if the brush main body 11 is small, this brush can contact the entire surface of the brush regardless of the undulating surface or curved surface of the body, but the area that can be brushed at one time is small and the brushing operation must be increased.

On the other hand, if the brush main body 11 is large, the brush surface abuts a large area on the flat surface of the body and can brush at a time, but only a part of the brush surface abuts on the undulating surface or curved surface of the body. After all, the brushing operation must be increased.

Therefore, the present invention provides a body brush that allows even a large brush to contact the entire surface of the brush corresponding to the undulating surface or curved surface of the body, and to brush as efficiently as a flat surface. The task is to do.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve this problem, the present invention proposes a method in which a plurality of brush pieces with bristles planted on the lower surface are in contact with each other at their side surfaces and are connected to each other by a bendable string, and the opposite side surfaces of adjacent brush pieces are A body brush was constructed by forming a convex curved surface that bends convexly from one edge portion to the other edge portion of the side surface, and attaching gripping strings to the brush pieces at both ends, respectively.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, since the adjacent brush pieces make line contact with each other on the side surface formed on the convex curved surface, even on the undulating surface or curved surface of the body, the brushes corresponding to the continuous undulating surface or curved surface change. Each side is bent or twisted on each side, and the whole brush comes into contact with the entire brush surface as a continuous pseudo curved surface.

[0008]

【Example】

 The body brush 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is formed by connecting ten rectangular brush pieces 2 with their side surfaces 2b in contact, and each brush piece 2 has a long side, a short side, and a thickness. Are 7 cm, 3 cm, and 1 cm, respectively, and bristles 3 having a length of 1.5 cm for brushes are planted on the lower surface to form brush surfaces 2a, and each side surface 2b is projected from one edge to the other edge. In addition to being formed into a convex curved surface that bends, two parallel through holes 4a and 4b penetrating both side surfaces are provided.

The cords 5a, 5b are respectively passed through the through holes 4a, 4b of the ten brush pieces 2, and knots 6a, 6b are formed at the outer ends of the through holes of the brush pieces 2, 2 at both ends to connect them. 10 brush pieces 2 are locked. The strings 5a and 5b extending outward from the knots 6a and 6b are connected at their ends to form knots 7a and 7b.

The above-mentioned brush piece 2 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be an elliptical shape as shown in FIG. 5, a hexagonal shape, or another planar shape.

Further, one of the opposing side surfaces may be a flat surface, and the one shown in FIG. 6 has a brush piece 20 having convex curved surfaces on both side surfaces and a brush piece 2 having flat surface on both side surfaces. 1 are arranged alternately, and these are connected to form the body brush 1. As a modification, one side surface of the brush piece may be a convex curved surface and the other side surface may be a flat surface, and the brush piece may be connected so that the convex curved surface and the flat surface are in contact (not shown).

Further, the two through holes 4 a and 4 b are unnecessary if the strings 5 a and 5 b connecting the brush pieces 2 are fixed on the upper surface of each brush piece 2.

The cords 5a and 5b may be one cord or one cord may be folded and used, but two cords or one cord may be folded and arranged in parallel. Therefore, it is convenient that the brush surface of each brush piece is not uneven. Further, in the above embodiment, the strings 5a and 5b also serve as the strings for connecting the brush pieces and the grip strings, but they may be different strings.

In this body brush, since the adjacent brush pieces 2 and 2 are in line contact with each other at the side surfaces 2b and 2b formed on the convex curved surface, when the knots 7a and 7b at both ends of the cord are held in each hand and brushed, As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, even on an undulating surface or a curved surface of the body, each brush piece 2 or 2 is bent or twisted on each side surface 2b or 2b according to the change of the undulation or the curved surface. As a result, the entire brush becomes a continuous pseudo curved surface, and the entire surface of the brush comes into contact with the brush, so that brushing can be performed efficiently as with a flat surface.

[0015]

【effect】

 With the body brush according to the present invention configured as described above, even on the undulating surface or curved surface of the body, each side of each brush piece is bent or twisted depending on the change of the undulation or curved surface. As a whole, the brush becomes a continuous pseudo curved surface, and the entire surface of the brush comes into contact with the brush, so that brushing can be performed efficiently as with a flat surface.
