Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a sponge plate which is good in supplying dust and small sand, mud, etc. adhering to a vehicle body such as a vehicle, tires, wheels, etc. Rinse and wash with running water and fountain from inside,
Immediately after that, the present invention relates to a cleaning and water-absorbing tool that simply squeezes the water content of the sponge plate to absorb the residual water remaining on the vehicle surface for cleaning, and then to dry it to give a mirror surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the following methods have been used to wash a vehicle. Rotating brush type car wash 2. Water jet type washing machine, 3. It is roughly divided into three types: bristle brush hand washing. 1. In washing with a rotary brush type car washer, water is poured onto the surface of the vehicle by a power pump, and at the same time, mud or dust is washed off with a motor-driven rotary bristle brush. The tip is broken, and small sand etc. is bitten into it, and it is struck on the vehicle surface with the tip of the brush by the rotating force and slides up, so many scratches are generated and the wax applied to the surface is also scraped off. I was cleaning. Furthermore, the water droplets remaining on the surface after washing were blown off by the wind force of a powerful blower, but it was dried to completely remove the water droplets on the shadows of the protrusions, the front, the rear, etc. and the dust and small sand that remained thinly on the whole. The entire surface was again wiped manually with a towel etc., and the towel was replaced, and the towels were repeatedly replaced to finish. Therefore, a large number of scratches are generated by wiping the towel, and at the same time, the wax is also wiped off, so that the durability of the wax is also reduced and scratches due to the brush tips during the cleaning and consumption of the wax are added. Since the gloss is damaged and becomes unsightly, the use of the rotary brush type car wash machine is gradually stopped. 2. In water-jet cleaning, ultra-high-pressure water is sprayed on small parts of the vehicle body, etc. to wash away mud adhered by water pressure for a long time, and then a dry towel is constantly replaced manually.ゝ Although it absorbs all water droplets, even if the above-mentioned ultra-high pressure water pressure is used, if the injection state is widened, it immediately drops to normal pressure and the cleaning efficiency deteriorates. Small sand, dust, etc. remain as they are, but only water is attached. Since it was only about the level and could not be completely washed, when the residual water was wiped off, it was caught by the surface of the towel and wiped off, resulting in many scratches on the surface of the vehicle. 3. In the case of hand washing with a bristle brush, hold the bristle brush in one hand and the water supply hose in the other hand, and use both hands to slowly pour water on the entire surface of the vehicle etc. Since a small piece of sand or the like was sandwiched between the flocked surfaces and rubbed, scratches occurred on the painted surface, which was a problem. In addition, it took a lot of work to finish by replacing several dry towels to wipe off water droplets and small sand that remained thin, dust etc. I was in trouble. In the above methods 1 to 3, a towel is used by hand to pressurize the residual water, so the wax applied to the vehicle surface is wiped off. It had a loss of aesthetics and luster.

[0003]

The conventional ones have the following drawbacks. In the case of water washing with a rotating brush in a car wash machine, a bristle brush is struck by the high-speed rotation of the motor on the painted surface of the vehicle, and the area between the flocked or the tips of the flocked is broken, and a small amount of sand etc. is picked up and lifted up So
A large number of small scratches were generated, and the water drops left after the water washing was blown off by the wind force, but a considerable amount remained, and the dry towel was often replaced, and the small sand, dust, etc. that remained thinly were done manually. Since it remains, it is wrapped around the surface of a thin towel and sticks to it, and it wipes off the painted surface of the vehicle with the pressure of the hand and creates many small scratches. Causes scratches and also wipes off wax to reduce durability,
It had lost its luster. Therefore, although many dry towels were used, it was not possible to prevent the above-mentioned adverse conditions. The water jet cleaning 2) and the hair brush hand cleaning 3) also have the disadvantages of causing small scratches and reducing the durability of the wax as in 1 and require a lot of labor. As described above, as for 1 to 3, washing and water absorption are performed by separate means or devices, which is inconvenient and inefficient, and a large amount of washing water is used at one time, resulting in a large number of small scratches as described above. Occurrence,
It has a drawback that the wax is consumed and much labor is required.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A predetermined width, length and wall thickness (several times the towel thickness) from the outer peripheral upper part of a pipe for a core having a predetermined length and a large number of small water passage holes on the lower surface. ), A sponge plate of open cells having flexible water permeability and water absorption of the elastic body is draped over the same length on the left and right, and the lower side is polymerized almost double,
Sew the specified parts of the tip and end, apply the fixing member from the top of this, and fix it to the pipe with the bolts of the fixing member together to make a horizontal hand brush-like tool, and at the time of cleaning, supply water from the pipe and cover it. While letting water flow downward from the gap between the lower sides of the two sponge plates that are in contact with each other,
Since water is spouted (blown out) more than all the bubbles of continuous water-permeable bubbles, even if small sand, dust, etc. are contained on the surface of each bubble, they are immediately pushed out by the running water and the fountain, causing scratches. Has never occurred. Also, when cleaning residual water after cleaning, the connection with the water supply hose can be easily removed with the separate joint part, and the water absorbed on the sponge plate can be lightly squeezed by hand to remove residual water on the vehicle surface. After one contact, the surface becomes dry quickly, easily and completely while simultaneously absorbing water. Even if there is a small amount of sand left over after washing, it is wrapped with the surface of each air bubble of a flexible elastic sponge plate with a thick wall and flows out together with water when squeezing out the absorbed water. The pressure applied by hand to the vehicle surface is smaller than that of a towel (a fraction of the pressure applied to the towel), and the hardness of the material is softer than that of a towel, so the pressure applied to the surface of the paint is small. There are no scratches at all, and it is polished up with a sponge plate made of a flexible material every time it is washed or sucked up to increase the gloss and become a mirror-like state, eliminating the need for waxing, etc. It is intended to provide a cleaning and water absorption tool with reduced adhesion.

[0005]

[Function] A pipe for a core having a water supply hose joint at the other end made of metal or synthetic resin, closed at one end, and having a plurality of water passage holes on one side of the lower surface, is formed on the outer periphery of the pipe. As a water-permeable and water-absorbing part of a sponge plate with good water absorption and water absorption of an appropriate length, thickness, and width, cover with this to hang it so that the lower side is almost doubled, and the length of this A predetermined part inside the tip part and the end part is sewn, and a fixing member having a horseshoe-shaped cross section is fixed from the upper surface to the pipe with a few bolts to form a horizontal hand brush-like tool, to which the water supply is applied. When water is supplied from the hose to the joint through the joint, running water and fountain (blurring ejection) are directed outward from the lower side of the substantially double seam of the sponge plate and the inside of each continuous bubble. With this, when the vehicle surface is pushed, mud or dust will be held by each bubble surface of the flexible sponge, and at the same time sand will be swept away and held by the running water from the inside of the fountain and the bottom of the second sheet. Since it does not slide up, there are no scratches on the coated surface, rather it is polished by a soft sponge surface and the adhesion of mud after that is reduced. In addition, even if the wheel surface is uneven, the tip of the sponge plate is applied at a right angle to perform cleaning, and when it is necessary to wipe off residual water, separate the water supply hose from the joint and When the residual water supplied to the sponge plate is hand-wound as a hand-brush-like tool, the water flows out from the joint through the water passage hole inside and outward from the inside of each continuous bubble. Because it flows out,
Even if small sand or dust adheres to the surface of the bubbles, it will be completely discharged at this time and the remaining surface water of the vehicle etc. will be wiped off to make it a dry state and it will be in a dry state, and it will be soft like the above-mentioned cleaning. Polished with a sponge surface, the gloss increases and it becomes a mirror surface. Further, when the wheel surface is uneven, the tip of the sponge plate is applied at a right angle to wipe it up to make it dry, and when the sponge plate contains a large amount of water, the process of rolling and squeezing as described above is repeated. As described above, the functions of rapid cleaning, water absorption, drying, and scratches are prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments shown in the drawings will be described in detail below.

As a first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of water passage holes 2 are opened in one side 1 of a lower surface made of metal or synthetic resin having an appropriate length, one end 3 thereof is closed, and the other end 4 thereof is formed. A pipe 14 for a core is provided with a free coupling / separation type joint portion 14 to which a water supply hose 5 is fixed, and one end 3 thereof has an appropriate length as a projecting portion 15 as shown in FIG. A sponge plate 7 (commercial name: Sakubi sponge, or rubber, or a synthetic resin material) having good water permeation and water absorption of open cells of a required thickness, width, and length from the portion 12 to the end portion 8 Sponge) is hung to the same width on the left and right, and the lower side 9 is formed almost like a double cross section (see FIG. 3). The part formed by the lower side 9, the tip portion 12, and the end portion 8 together The water and water absorption portions 16 are provided with appropriate widths and lengths, and the remaining surface is covered with a thin plate 17 made of rubber or synthetic resin having elasticity and water resistance to make the surface watertight. A fixing member 10 having a cross section (see FIG. 3) which is curved in a substantially horseshoe shape with a synthetic resin or the like and whose lower side ends 19 of both sides are slightly outwardly folded back is polymerized, and the fixing member 10 and the thin plate 17 and water passage are formed. The horizontal core handbrush-like tool 18 is constructed by fixing the pipe 6 for the core with the fixing member 11 such as a plurality of bolts provided through the water absorbing portion 16. In addition, the free connection / separation type joint portion 14 is abolished, and the water supply hose 5 is directly attached to the other end 4 of the core pipe 6, and the elastic waterproof thin plate 1.
7 may be eliminated, or a waterproof coating material may be applied to the portion of the sponge plate 7 in contact therewith to prevent water absorption from the outer surface.

As a second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, a sponge plate 7 having good open-cell water permeability and good water absorption is formed on a horizontal hand brush-like tool 18, and a pipe 6 for a core is formed. At the time of water supply for cleaning, the inner portions of the tip portion 12 and the end portion 8 having the length of the lower side 9 hanging down from the upper surface to the left and right and substantially doubled are fixed by the adhesive means 13 (sewn or adhesive). The water supplied from the pipe 6 for the core is the tip portion 12 and the end portion 8
It is a gap to stop running water more easily, and Fig. 3
As shown in FIG. 5, the lower portion of the lower side end 19 of the fixing member 10 is clamped gently so that the lower portion of the sponge plate 7 is gently pressed, and the water supply is evenly accumulated over the entire length of the inside 20 so that the flowing water from the lower side 9 has an appropriate amount. At the same time as letting the air flow out, the continuous bubbles of the sponge plate 7 are passed through and jetted (blurred and jetted) to the entire left and right outer sides, even if small sand or the like is held on the outside of the bubbles.
The structure is such that it will flow out together with the more flowing running water, and will constantly perform complete cleaning and water saving on a new surface.

As a third embodiment, a free hand connection / separation type joint portion 14 is attached to the main body of the horizontal hand brush-like tool 18 constructed according to the first and second embodiments shown in FIG. 2, and the water supply hose 5 is attached thereto. When water is attached and water is supplied to the entire length of the inside 20 of the sponge plate 7 through the pipe 6 for the core, an appropriate amount of water is flowed downward from the lower side 9 of the sponge plate 7, and each bubble is evenly passed through the tip 12 and both sides. A small amount of sand or dust adhering to the front, rear, bonnet, roof, both side surfaces, uneven surfaces of the wheel, tire side surface, etc. of the vehicle that causes a jet flow (blurring jet) to the outside is used as the flexible sponge plate 7 surface. Even if the sand or the like is washed away with the water flow and is trapped in each bubble, it is blown out by the fountain and the running water from the inside 20 as described above, and it is possible to prevent scratches due to sand scraping and to clean the sand. When done,
In addition to lightening the total amount to improve the workability, the water supply hose 5 is separated by the free connection and separation type joint part 14 for discharging water, and the water content of the sponge plate 7 is wound around the pipe 6 by hand. Alternatively, it is compressed by a motor-driven sponge roll mechanism and squeezed to flow out from the lower side 9, the side end portions 12, the end portions 8, and the pipe 6 for the core, and then the water passage and the water absorption portion 16 of the sponge plate 7 are applied to the surface of the vehicle. Gently push it to the front with a hand and pull it slightly forward to collect the residual water after washing with the elastic water-proof thin plate 17 to collect the residual water and make it into a lump of water. )), A small amount of water remaining after being flushed out is completely absorbed by the continuous air bubble passing water and the water absorbing sponge plate 7 appearing at the end of the thin plate 17, and the dry state is instantaneously performed. The bumps are thick and soft and have a soft elastic body. Di plate 7 can be of interest as water drying along completely the curve. For the convex and concave portions on the wheel surface of the vehicle, the tip portion 12 of the sponge plate 7 is inserted at a right angle and lightly rubbed around to dry the water. Side of the vehicle,
The same operation is performed on the front and rear surfaces to perform water absorption and drying, and at the same time, the surface of the vehicle is polished by the surface of the flexible sponge plate 7 during the cleaning and the water absorption, so that a glossy surface is formed and a wax is formed. Polishing is unnecessary. When the sponge plate 7 contains a large amount of water during the above-described operation, the above-mentioned squeezing operation and water absorption operation are continued to complete the entire dry finish. As shown in FIG. 4, a handle portion 21 is formed on the upper end of the fixing member 10 to provide a convenient structure for use. In addition, as described above, when the water supply hose 5 is attached to the horizontal hand brush-like tool 18 and is used only for the cleaning step, and when the water supply hose 5 is separated into the horizontal hand brush-like tool 18, the water absorption and drying steps are performed. There is also a method of using the two separately, as in the case of using only for.

【The invention's effect】

1. When contact cleaning the entire vehicle surface with water using this machine, the water flow downward from the inside of the thick flexible sponge plate of this machine and downward from the inside, and through the continuous air bubbles from the inside to the outside of the side surface. The fountain (bleeding jet) causes a small amount of sand, etc., to flow out from the inside with running water just before it is held, so no scratches are caused on the vehicle surface (reciprocating with a hair brush, towel, deer bark, etc.). When used with sliding and one-point water injection method, many scratches occur because the small sands mentioned above are held up and slid up as is). Therefore, it will be polished with a flexible sponge plate, and even when absorbing residual water after washing, it will not reciprocate, but will have a slight pressure contact in only one direction (about several tenths compared to towel wiping). As a result, the gloss of the vehicle surface increases more and more, and at the same time, most of the water droplets after washing are extruded as water lumps with a waterproof and elastic thin plate to drain the running water, and the remaining water is followed by thick, flexible, continuous air bubble absorption. Since the water can be absorbed at the end or side of the sponge plate and can be dried almost immediately, the work efficiency is improved (the water absorption efficiency is several times higher than the towel absorption). 2. Since the wiping area where the sponge plate hits the vehicle surface and the absorption efficiency are several times that of the towel, the wiping can be completed in a short time. 3. The thick and soft sponge plate completely follows the unevenness of the vehicle surface and does not cause cleaning residue and water absorption residue. 4. When the sponge plate that has absorbed water is squeezed and dehydrated, it can be dehydrated instantly because the pipe for the inner core and the lower side, both sides, front and rear are discharged in six directions. 5. Due to the flexibility of the sponge plate and slight pressure washing and water absorption,
The durability of the wax applied to the vehicle surface becomes longer, the surface is polished and the gloss of the fabric increases and it becomes a mirror surface, so it is unnecessary to apply the wax, so the amount of mud adhered in the rain is small. Even if water is applied, almost all the water flows out, and cleaning and finishing can be completed in a short time. 6. Since the water supply accumulates inside the tool and is evenly distributed over the entire length, pressurized and flows out, it is completed with a fraction of the amount of water compared to the conventional single-point water injection method of the water supply hose for hand brush cleaning, which saves water. It becomes big. Since the amount of water is small, the water supply hose also has a small diameter, and therefore the load carried by the hand is also light, so that it can be used lightly during cleaning. 7. It is convenient because you can carry out water injection and cleaning with only one hand holding the brush. 8. It is convenient because it is possible to use the same tool for cleaning and water absorption and drying by changing it instantly (separating the water supply hose). 9. Since the washing water is evenly distributed over the entire length of the brush surface, less water is scattered to the feet as well as water is saved, and there is little water on the hands, so it is easy to use in winter. 10. Every time the water content of the sponge plate is squeezed during water absorption, even if there is dust remaining after cleaning that adheres to the sponge plate, it will flow out together with the squeezing water, and you can constantly wipe it with a new surface to absorb water and dry it. Beautifully finished. 11. Compared to a bristle brush that has been planted at intervals, a sponge plate that is softer and more absorbent than water is attached to the entire horizontally elongated horizontal handbrush, so there is no residue when cleaning, and compared to wiping with a towel, Since this machine makes contact with the entire horizontally long surface, it can finish without leaving any residue. 12. Since the structure is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost.
