Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a ball cleaner device for golf balls, softballs, softball baseballs, etc.

It is common practice to use a piece of cloth to remove dirt from the ball, but cleaning the ball takes a lot of time and effort.
Another problem is that it is difficult to remove dirt from the depressed portions (dimples).

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a cleaner device that solves the above problems and can effectively clean the entire outer periphery of a ball with extremely simple operations.

The structure of this invention is that a pair of guide grooves into which both sides of the ball holding plate can fit are formed at opposing positions on the inner circumference of the cylindrical brush support cylinder, and two inner circumference halves defined by the guide grooves are formed. A first brush and a second brush are attached, a ball fitting hole is formed at the tip of the ball holding plate, and when the ball holding plate is inserted into the brush support cylinder, the ball is supported by the ball fitting hole. The friction resistance between the first brush and the second brush is made different so that the first brush and the second brush rotate by contact with the brush.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

As shown in the figure, the cleaner device according to this invention is composed of a cylindrical brush support tube 1 and a ball holding plate 10 that can be inserted into and removed from the brush support tube 1 at will.

A pair of guide grooves 2 extending in the axial direction are formed at opposing positions on the inner circumference of the brush support cylinder 1, and both sides of the ball holding plate 10 can be fitted into the guide grooves 2.

Further, on the two inner peripheral half surfaces defined by the pair of guide grooves 2 in the brush support cylinder 1, there are a first brush 3 and a second brush 4.
The inner periphery of each of the brushes 3 and 4 is semicircular, and a circular space is formed between the opposing surfaces of the brushes 3 and 4.

The ball holding plate 10 has a bundle 11 at its end, and the width gradually increases from the bundle 11 toward the tip, and the outer periphery of the tip is circular.

Further, a ball fitting hole 12 is formed at the tip of the ball holding plate 10 near the center of the circular outer periphery, and when a ball is fitted into this fitting hole 12 and the ball holding plate 10 is inserted into the brush support cylinder 1, The frictional resistance between the first brush 3 and the second brush 4 is made different so that the ball rotates upon contact with the brushes 3 and 4.

By the way, as a means for differentiating the frictional resistance between the first brush 3 and the second brush 4, as shown in the figure, the first brush 3
In addition to the method of changing the inclination of the bristles of the second brush 4, a method of changing the stiffness of the bristles, a method of changing the density of the brush, etc. can be adopted.

Now, when the ball A to be purified is inserted into the ball fitting hole 12 of the ball holding plate 10 and the ball holding plate 10 is inserted into the brush support cylinder 1 with both sides guided by the guide groove 2, The ball A to be purified descends while in contact with the brushes 3 and 4, and during the descent, the ball A rotates due to contact with the first brush 3 and the second brush 4.

Therefore, by repeatedly moving the ball holding plate 10 up and down, the balls to be purified can be purified through contact with the brushes 3 and 4, and since the ball A rotates, the entire outer periphery of the ball can be brushed. be able to.

Note that if the width of the ball holding plate 10 is gradually increased toward the tip and the outer periphery of the tip is circular, when the ball holding plate 1o is moved in the vertical direction, the ball holding plate 10 is It can be tilted as shown by the chain line in the figure, and the tilt of the holding plate 10 allows the ball A to rotate more effectively to clean the ball A.

Furthermore, if the cleaning work for the balls A is carried out with the cleaning liquid in the brush support cylinder 1, the balls can be brushed while being cleaned, so that the balls can be cleaned even more neatly.

As described above, this invention differs in the frictional resistance between the first brush and the second brush provided in the brush support cylinder, and between the opposing brushes, the ball supported by the ball holding plate is attached to the brush. Since the ball is moved up and down while in contact with the brush, the ball can be purified by contact with the brush, and since the ball that moves up and down is rotated by contact with the brush, the entire outer periphery of the ball can be cleaned extremely effectively. Can be purified.

Furthermore, since it has a simple structure in which the brush is provided within the brush support cylinder, it is less likely to be damaged and is easy to manufacture.
