Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a replacement nozzle attached to an electric suction cleaner used in general households.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, the tip of the suction port of a vacuum cleaner is configured to effectively suck dust and dirt in various situations by replacing the nozzle. Such replacement nozzles include a gap nozzle with a narrow tip, a nozzle with a wide tip, a nozzle with a brush attached on the tip, a brush attached on the wide tip, and a rotor attached to vibrate tatami mats and carpets. The nozzles that have been given can be effectively selected and used according to the purpose of use.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the vacuum cleaners that are commonly used, the standard attachment / detachment / replacement nozzles are the uniform gap nozzles, wide tatami / floor / carpet nozzles, and circular nozzles with an annular brush embedded. Equipped with. In addition, nozzles other than the above standard are sold separately and can be installed and used according to the application.

As a special application of a vacuum cleaner, when combing the hair of a pet such as a dog or a cat, it is used for immediately sucking the shed hair while brushing the pet. Conventionally, it is common to suck animal hair, hair, dust, etc. that have fallen on the floor.When using this conventional nozzle, the brush is too soft, especially in the case of a nozzle with an annular brush embedded. Since the density of the brush is high, the hair is caught between the brushes and it is very difficult to remove it, and the hair released from the skin of dogs and cats is not disturbed by the brush and sucked into the suction port. There was the inconvenience of floating around. Also, due to the structure of the conventional nozzle, it was not suitable for brushing pets and the like.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, in the present invention, the above-mentioned defect can be eliminated by using a nozzle provided with a hairbrush-like brush, and the constitution thereof is as follows.

A connecting portion connected to a suction hose or a suction pipe of a vacuum cleaner, a nozzle body formed integrally with the connecting portion, a suction port formed by opening a part of the nozzle body, and the suction port A nozzle made of an annular brush-like body or a comb-like body arranged around the brush-like body or the comb-like body, wherein the brush-like body or the comb-like body is formed of plastic or metal, and each brush element or comb-like element is arranged at a predetermined interval. A brush-shaped body or a comb-shaped body with a suction port opened on the outer circumference, a brush-shaped body or a comb-shaped body with a suction port opened on the outer and inner circumferences, a brush-shaped body or a comb-shaped body The present invention can take a form such as a detachably attached body, and is provided with a plurality of connecting portions in consideration of operability in use.

[0007]

【Example】

 A more detailed description will be given below based on the illustrated embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a brush-like element, which is formed integrally with a base 2. A fixed base 3 is formed integrally with the nozzle main body 6 or is fixed integrally to the nozzle main body 6 and the base 2 is fixed to the fixed base 3 by an openable / closable claw 4. Reference numeral 5 is a suction port formed around the fixed base 3 between the nozzle body 6 and the fixed base 3. Reference numeral 7 is a connecting portion that connects the nozzle body 6 and a cleaner (not shown), and 8 is a suction hole that communicates from the connecting portion 7 through the nozzle body 6 to the suction port 5. Reference numeral 9 denotes a suction port that communicates with the suction port 5 and penetrates through the base 2 and the fixed base 3, and communicates with the suction hole 8 similarly to the suction port 5. Reference numeral 10 is a modification of the brush-like element 1, which is a comb-like element. Reference numeral 11 is a locking groove arranged in the base 2.

Now, in such a configuration, in use, first, an optimum brush shape is selected and fixed to the fixing base 3. In fixing, when pushing the base 2 of the brush from above the claws 4 formed on the fixing base 3, the claws 4 are opened to the outside and the base 2 is brought into close contact with the fixing base 3, and the claws 4 are preliminarily attached to the base 2. The base 2 is fixed to the fixed base 3 by fitting in the formed locking groove 11 and closing.

The brush may have a shape shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a vertical brush portion parallel to the connecting portion 7, or a comb shape shown in FIG. Structurally, in addition to the structure shown in the figure, in a structure conventionally used as a hair brush, for example, the brush-like elements 1 are extended row by row on the base 2 and holes through which the brush-like elements penetrate each row. It can be effectively used by fixing with a rubber-like plate having a hole.

In FIG. 2, the fixing base 3 is connected to the nozzle main body 6 by a rib-shaped member, but any structure that can be functionally connected to the nozzle main body 6 may be used. The function can be achieved by forming a protrusion and fixing the protrusion to the inner surface of the nozzle body 6.

The nozzle having such a structure is connected to a suction hose or a suction pipe of a vacuum cleaner to be used for brushing hair of hair or animals, cleaning of carpets, cleaning of raised clothes or furniture, and other similar purposes. it can. Taking brushing of animal hair as an example, the nozzle of the present invention is attached to the tip of a flexible suction hose, and the brush-like body 20 attached to the nozzle while driving the vacuum cleaner combs the hair of the animal or the hair of the animal. Lend.

At this time, a part of the body hair separated from the skin of the animal is entangled with the brush-like element 1, and a part is sucked into the cleaner through the suction port 5. Since the brush was too fine with the conventional suction nozzle, it was not obstructed by the brush and was not sucked into the suction port, but remained on the skin of the animal as it was, and it floated in the air, resulting in soiling the surroundings. However, in the nozzle of the present invention, since the gap between the brush-like elements 1 is made relatively wide and the suction ports 5 and 9 are provided on the outer circumference or the outer circumference and the inner circumference of the brush-like body 20, the detached body hair falls to the floor. It is now possible to effectively suck into a vacuum cleaner without leaving it before it is released into the surrounding area.

Depending on the part to be brushed, a wide nozzle may be effective or a slender nozzle may be effective. However, as shown in FIG. 5, the nozzle is provided with connecting portions at two positions A and B. , It is effective to replace and use according to the application. At this time, it is effective to close the unused connection part with a rubber cap or the like.

The structure for fixing the base 2 to the fixed base 3 can be implemented in various ways other than the method shown in the figure, such as a simple clip method, a double-sided adhesive tape method or a screw method. It does not deviate from the purpose.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, according to the present invention, for the purpose of brushing animals such as hair and pets, cleaning carpets, cleaning brushed clothes and furniture, and other similar purposes, it is possible to remove body hair and dust that have been peeled off with a nozzle. It can be effectively sucked and does not float around, and it can be used in a clean environment, and it can be particularly effective for brushing dogs and cats.
