DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments thereof. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a deck brush according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the deck brush 1 includes a brush main body 2 including a wiping body 21 and a handle 22 similar to the existing deck brush, and a hose holding means 3. The wiping body 21 is formed by implanting a synthetic resin fiber 24 having a relatively high elastic force on a base 23 made of wood or resin.

The hose holding means 3 is provided integrally with the brush main body 2 by attaching a hose tip holding attachment (hereinafter referred to as "attachment" only) 4 to the handle 22. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the attachment 4 has a cylindrical shape into which the handle 22 can be inserted, and has a fixing portion 42 in which a thick portion 41 is provided in an annular shape at the center. The hose holding means 3 is integrally provided at 42.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the hose holding means 3 is formed by bending a single wire rod made of steel or stainless steel into a substantially U-shape at the center thereof.
And both ends of the hose insertion portion 31 are further folded back in the same direction at a predetermined angle, and the fitting portion 32 to the fixing portion 42 is formed. As shown in FIG. 4, the width of the hose insertion portion 31 gradually increases in the direction of the fitting portion 32, and the width gradually narrows at an intermediate portion thereof, and the constricted portion 31a.
Is widened after the formation of the hose, and when the hose 5 is inserted, the discharge port 51 of the hose 5 and its vicinity are deformed into a flat shape, and the hose 5 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the hose.
Try to prevent it from coming off. Moreover, the flow passage 52 having a cross-sectional area smaller than the flow passage cross-sectional area of the hose body can be formed in the discharge port 51 and its vicinity.

Both ends of the fitting portion 32 are fitted in fitting holes 41a formed in the thick portion 41, and the fixing portion 4 is provided with an adhesive.
It is integrated into 2. And the attachment 4 is
As shown in FIG. 2, after inserting the handle 22 into the fixed portion 42 and sliding it to a desired position, the fixing screw 43 is tightened in the direction of the handle 22 and the tip of the screw is pressed against the wall surface of the handle 22 so that the handle 22 It can be fixed at the desired position.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 25 denotes a hanging metal fitting which is rotatably supported by the handle 22 at its end and which hangs the deck brush 1 on a metal fitting such as a wall surface to suspend the deck brush 1 along the wall surface. Since the deck brush 1 is configured as described above, the hose insertion portion 31 of the hose holding means 3 is connected to the discharge port 5
The discharge port 51 of the hose 5 can be held toward the cleaning surface of the deck brush 1 by a simple operation of inserting the hose 5 into the hose 5.
1 and its vicinity can be deformed into a flat shape to form a flow passage 52 having a narrower cross-sectional area than the flow passage of the hose body at the discharge port 51 of the hose 5 and its vicinity.

Therefore, even without supporting the hose 5, the cleaning water can be supplied toward the cleaning surface while rubbing the cleaning surface with the wiping member 21. In addition, since the discharge portion 51 of the hose 5 and its vicinity are flat and the flow passage 52 is narrowed, the cleaning water flowing through the hose 5 flows through the flow passage 5
The flow velocity becomes faster in the portion 2 and is jetted vigorously from the discharge port 51 toward the cleaning surface, so that the cleaning surface can be efficiently cleaned. Further, when washing water is sent to the hose 5, a force is applied to the hose 5 in the direction of coming out of the hose insertion portion 31 by the water pressure, but since the hose insertion portion 31 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the hose, the hose 5 is It is kept in the state of being held at 31. Moreover, when flushing water is sent to the hose 5, the flattened outlet 51 and its vicinity tend to return to a true circle due to water pressure. However, in this deck brush 1, a constricted portion 31a is provided in the middle of the hose insertion portion 31. Therefore, the portion corresponding to the constricted portion 31a tries to return to a state closer to a perfect circle. Therefore, the maximum width of the portion corresponding to the constricted portion 31 a is the same as that of the distal end portion 3 of the hose insertion portion 31.
Since the width is narrower than the width of 1b, the inner wall surface of the hose in the narrowed portion is locked by the tip portion 31b, and the hose 5 can be more firmly prevented from coming off. Moreover,
In this embodiment, the tip end portion 31b of the hose insertion portion 31 is bent in a direction away from the handle 22, so that the tip end portion 31b can also prevent the hose from coming off.

Further, in this deck brush 1, since the hose holding means 3 is integrally provided on the deck brush main body 2 by mounting the attachment 4, if the deck brush main body 2 deteriorates, for example, the deck brush main body 2 Very economical, as only 2 needs to be replaced. Further, the hose 5 can be inserted and removed in a state in which washing water is fed into the hose 5. That is, since the hose insertion portion 31 formed of a wire is simply inserted into the discharge port 51 of the hose 5, a large force is not required to insert the hose 5, and even when water is flowing out from the tip of the hose,
Water does not splash and hit people.

FIG. 5 shows a second deck brush according to the present invention.
It shows an example. As shown in FIG. 5, the deck brush 6 is similar to the deck brush of the first embodiment except that the hose holding means 3 is integrally provided on the base 23 of the wiping body 21. That is, the fitting portion 32 of the hose holding means 3 is driven into the side wall surface of the base 23 so that the deck brush main body 2 and the hose holding means 3 are integrated.

According to the deck brush 6, the hose 5 can be easily held as in the deck brush 1 of the first embodiment. Moreover, since it is possible to obtain the fitting portion 32 of the hose holding means 3 formed of the wire rod by simply driving it into the base 23, it can be provided at a low cost.

The deck brush and hose tip holding attachment according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. For example, although the hose insertion portion is formed by bending the stainless steel wire rod in the above-described embodiment, it may be formed by bending the plate-shaped material. Further, in the above embodiment, the hose insertion portion is provided on the lower surface side, but it may be provided on the upper surface or the side surface.

Further, in the above embodiment, the fixing portion can be fixed to a desired portion of the handle by tightening the fixing screw. However, a clamp-like structure can be used to clamp and fix the handle. I do not care.

[0023]

[Effect] Since the deck brush according to the present invention is configured as described above, the hose can be integrated into the deck brush and the discharge port of the hose by a simple operation of inserting the hose insertion portion into the tip of the hose. The vicinity can be firmly supported. Moreover, the discharge port of the hose and its vicinity are flattened, and the cleaning water can be vigorously sprayed onto the cleaning surface of the deck brush, resulting in better cleaning.

Further, according to the hose holding attachment of the present invention, the deck brush of the present invention can be easily obtained by fixing the fixing portion to a desired portion of the handle of the existing deck brush.
