BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in brush washing used when school children draw pictures outdoors or in the classroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when schoolchildren draw watercolors outdoors, the number of paintbrushes stored in a paint box is limited, so even if they are used once, wash them with water each time. Will need to be reused. In that case, if an ordinary bucket is used for brush washing, the water in the bucket becomes dirty even if it is washed once, so it is inconvenient to replace the water frequently. Also, since the water in the bucket becomes dirty with the color of the paint on the paintbrush, if you wash the paintbrush with a different color of paint after that, the color of the paintbrush and the color of the water in the bucket will change. Are mixed together, which may cause the paintbrush to get dirty.

Therefore, in order to deal with such a problem, conventionally, a multi-tub type brush washing in which the interior of the brush washing body is divided into a plurality of tanks has been provided. According to this, it is possible to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience and inconvenience by using water by putting water in each of the plurality of tanks in the brush washing main body.

[0004]

By the way, in the above-mentioned brush washing, it is customary to provide a handle either on the outside or inside of the brush washing main body so that it can be easily carried. It is preferable to have a structure that is easy to use and does not impair the appearance.

However, when the handle is provided on the outside of the brush washing main body, the design as a whole is often damaged by exposing the handle to the outside. However, since there is a handle on the outside of the body for brush washing, it has the advantage that it is easy to use. On the contrary, if the handle is provided inside the brush-washing body, the handle fits inside the brush-cleaning body, which improves the design, but on the other hand, the handle is immersed in the water inside the brush-washing body. When using the handle, there is a problem in use that the handle must be taken out of the dirty water in the brush washing body.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems in brush washing. As a brush washing having a handle, the handle is not submerged in the water in the body of the brush washing, and at the same time, there is a design requirement. The aim is to provide a brush wash that can also be satisfied.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a brush-washing body having a brush-washing body whose upper part is opened and whose inside is divided into a plurality of tanks by partition walls. It is characterized by having done. That is,
Both ends of the handle are rotatably attached to the inside of the mouth of the opening of the main body of the brush, and when the handle is tilted outward with the center of the pivot, each handle is attached to the edge of the opening of the main body of the brush. It is configured to be stored along the inside of.

[0008]

According to the above construction, when the handle is tilted outward, the handle is stored along the inside of the mouth edge of the opening of the main body of the brush-washing body. By squeezing the handle in such a manner, it is possible to prevent the handle from being submerged in water. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the handle from the dirty water in the main body of the brush when using the handle. In addition, since the handle is stored along the inside of the mouth of the opening of the main body of the brush, the handle is not exposed to the outside of the main body of the brush when not in use.
The overall design is not compromised by the handle.

Therefore, by storing the image material such as a pallet or a paint in the image material case 3, those image materials can be stored. It can be carried with the brush-washing body 2. In that case, both ends of the shoulder belt 5 are attached to the belt mounting holes 28, 28 provided on the outer surface side of the brush-washing main body 2 as shown in FIG.
Also, since it is not necessary to hold the drawing material case 3 by hand, it can be easily carried.

In use, it is sufficient to place a finger on the collar portion 35a of the drawing material case 3 and lift it slightly.
By doing so, the engagement holes 25, 25 on the brush-washing main body 2 side
Since the convex portions 34a, 34a of the drawing material case 3 are removed, only the drawing material case 3 can be easily separated from the brush washing main body 2. Therefore, by using the separated drawing material case 3 alone as a storage means for drawing materials and small items, for example, when the brush-washing main body 2 is used, it is difficult to store or place drawing materials such as paints. Moreover, the paints and the like will not be dispersed or part of them will be lost.

Further, the recesses 27 ... 27 for holding the writing brush are provided at predetermined positions on the upper end portion of the lip 23, and the writing holes 29.
9 are provided on the outer surface side of the rim 23, respectively,
For example, it is convenient when it is necessary to temporarily place or lean against a paintbrush while drawing a picture. Also,
When the drawing material case 3 is attached to the opening 2a of the brush-washing main body 2, the convex portions 34a, 34a on the case 3 side are engaged with the engaging holes 25, 25 on the brush-washing main body 2 side in a predetermined state. Since the two parts are integrated as long as they do not interfere with the attachment / detachment of the drawing material case 3 to / from the main body 2 of the brush, even if the brush 1 is handled roughly when carrying it, The drawing material case 3 does not come off accidentally. On the other hand, also in the case of the drawing material case 3, when the case body 31 is covered with the lid 32, the engaging protrusion 33 of the lid 32 is provided.
Since a and 33a are engaged with the collar portion 35a on the case body 31 side, the lid 32 does not accidentally come off from the case body 31.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the engagement structure between the case body and the lid in the drawing material case may be the structure shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Of these, the one shown in FIG.
Engaging projections 135a on both outer side surfaces (only one of them is shown in the figure) in the longitudinal direction of the case main body 131 constituting the third embodiment.
The handle piece 1 of the lid 132 is correspondingly formed while forming the
An engagement recess 133a is formed on the inner surface side of 33, and the engagement recess 133a engages with the engagement protrusion 135a when the case body 131 is covered with the lid 132. Also,
As shown in FIG. 8, the engaging projections 235a are formed on both outer side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the case main body 231 forming the image material case 203.
And the engaging hole 233a that can be engaged with the engaging protrusion 235a is formed in the handle piece 233 of the lid 232. It goes without saying that any of the structures shown here can prevent the lid from being accidentally removed from the case body.
