SI20241A - Dish sponge - Google Patents

Abstract

Subject of the invention is a hydraulic inlet valve for toilet cistern with three-piece assembly, which features a new design concept of the water inlet system, providing a small opening inside the sealing diaphragm, leading to the chamber for controlling the water level inside the toilet cistern, while the new design concept eliminates the disadvantages of the current solutions regarding the sensitivity to particles contained in the incoming water. In the hydraulic inlet valve for toilet cistern with three-piece assembly according to the invention, there is a built-in three-piece assembly (A) consisting of a supporting part (1, 1'), a ball (2) and a cap (3). The two different positions of the ball (2) inside the supporting part (1, 1'), which depend on the water pressure, provide a minor throughput when filling the toilet cistern, and self-cleaning after filling has been completed.

MUSHROOM FOR WASHING THE DISHES

The subject of the invention is a sponge for manual dishwashing, which enables easy and efficient washing of the dishes, especially glasses, cups and narrow and deep dishes. The invention belongs to Class A 47L 13/16 of the International Patent Classification.

A problem that cannot be effectively solved with existing solutions for hand-washing dishes and similar cleaning utensils is the easy and efficient washing of narrow and deep dishes, as well as glasses and cups, and further efficient cleaning of the edges of glasses, cups, etc.

Manual dishwashing with existing, commercially available mushroom designs becomes problematic for deep and narrow dishes, and especially the problem of washing fragile glasses and cups. Existing mushrooms which, in the case of deeper and narrow vessels, are too short to reach the bottom, must therefore be squeezed and pressed into the container and then rotated with the tips of the fingers or a suitable object (accessory handle, etc.) to effectively wash the bottom of the container as well. . This method is impractical for longer nails, and rotating a compressed sponge with the tips of your fingers is also dangerous in the case of a fragile container, since such a compressed sponge can hardly rotate in the container (glass). However, when using more force, there may be a collapse of e.g. the edge of the glass jar, which can be dangerous for damage.

Even the edges of the dishes, glasses and cups are difficult to wash with regular sponges, since to wash the edges from the outside and the inside at the same time, bend the sponge and then squeeze it around and rub it. Due to its thickness, the bent sponge usually cannot be used to clean narrow containers.

The manual dishwashing sponge according to the invention has a body shaped as a conical geometric body (cone, pyramid, ...) with one end surface, e.g. bottom wider, opposite, e.g. the top surface is narrower. For easier washing of the edges, a notch is made in the body.

The manual dishwashing sponge according to the invention will be explained in more detail on the basis of an embodiment and the accompanying drawings, of which:

Fig. 1 is a axonometric view of a manual dishwashing sponge according to the invention in the basic embodiment;

Fig. 2 is an axonometric view of a variant solution of a hand-washing sponge according to the invention;

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the A-A sponge for handwashing the container according to the invention with a notched end;

Figure 1 shows an axonometric view of a handwashing sponge according to the invention in the basic embodiment. The mushroom body 1 extends over the wider lower gripping portion 2 on the lower side into the bottom 3, which is in the form of a rectangular square surface. The wider grip part 2 serves to give the mushroom a good grip when used. Towards the top, the body 1 of the mushroom narrows and passes into a conical shaped upper part 4, which can be completed with the upper part 5 in the form of a rectangular square surface.

The bottom 3 and top 5 may also have the shape of a circular surface, which does not limit the applicability of the present invention.

In one or both of the narrower longitudinal surfaces of the mushroom body 1 according to the invention, a groove 6 may be formed in the form of a semicircular groove which terminates pointedly towards the top of the body 1 io. The groove 6, on the one hand, provides a better grip on the body of the 1 mushroom and, on the other, directs excess water that is not absorbed by the sponge itself when washing.

Figure 2 shows the variant solutions of the handwashing sponge according to the invention in axonometric view. Thus, the body 1 of the mushroom is able to pass into a conical shaped upper part 4 which is rounded, but the sponge for manual dishwashing according to the invention may have the body 1 formed ergonomically in irregular prismatic form.

The surface of the mushroom body 1 may be flat, uneven, sloping, serrated and / or discontinuous, or have grooves. Bottom 3 and top

Part 2 mushrooms can be coated with the addition of abrasive materials or an abrasive layer that provides better adhesion on one side and a better cleaning on the other.

The body 1 of the mushroom according to the invention may have a notch 7 in one or more places, which allows cleaning the edges of glasses, plates or cups.

The notch itself. notches 7 are designed so that the internal structure of the sponge does not tear forward when used.

Advantages of the proposed embodiment of the sponge for manual cleaning of the dish are manifested in the simpler washing of narrow and deep objects, because the sponge according to the invention easily rotates in such an object because it is not compressed into the object. The use of less force when washing with a non-compressed sponge also causes a lower likelihood of damage, especially to the edges of glasses and thin cups. Completed notches in the sponge allow the outer and inner edges of the dishwasher to be washed at the same time, which facilitates and simplifies the work and reduces the risk of cuts in the rounded jars or container.

The very shape of the sponge according to the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2 enables the washing of deep objects with a conical shaped upper part 4 and the upper part 5, smaller surfaces with a lower gripping part 2 or. wider bottom 3 and larger surfaces with only the side of the body 1 longer than a regular sponge. This makes work faster and safer.
