Abstract
A brush device includes a housing having an exit end, an entrance end, and a room defined in the housing. A propeller unit is located in the room and includes a shaft with multiple first blades on an outside thereof. The shaft includes a driving head extending through the exit end of the housing. The driving head is connected with a brush so that the brush is rotated by water entering from the entrance and exiting from the exit end.
Description
- The present invention relates to a brush device, and more particularly, to a brush device with multiple propeller unit which is rotated by water flow to drive the brush to enhance cleaning result.
- The conventional brush generally includes a handle or a grip with bristle. The users holds the brush with one hand to clean the objects, and the other hand holds a water hose to provide water to remove the debris. However, when cleaning an object with multiple recessed areas, like wheel rims, the users are frustrated to carefully operate the brush in different direction so as to reach and clean the recessed areas. Although electric brushes are available in the market, the connection to a power source is a problem in some situation.
- The present invention intends to provide a brush device that is rotated by water flow.
- The present invention relates to a brush device and comprises a housing having an exit end and an entrance end. A room is defined in the housing and communicates with the exit end and the entrance end. The exit end includes a through hole and multiple first bores. The entrance end includes a second bore which communicates with the first bores. A propeller unit includes a shaft and multiple first blades. The shaft includes a body and a driving head wherein the body is located within the room, and the driving head extends through the through hole and is connected with a brush. Multiple first blades are located on the outside of the body so that the brush is rotated by water entering from the entrance and exiting from the exit end.
- The present invention will become more apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show the brush device of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the brush device of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 illustrates water flows through the brush device of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is an end view of the propeller unit of the brush device of the present invention; -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view to show the brush device of the present invention with the connector and the handle, and -
FIG. 6 shows the locking member is connected between the connector and the housing of the brush device of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 6 , the brush device of the present invention comprises ahousing 1 having anexit end 12 and anentrance end 15 respectively formed on two ends thereof. Aroom 11 is defined in thehousing 1 and communicates with theexit end 12 and theentrance end 15. Theexit end 12 includes a throughhole 122 and multiplefirst bores 121 which are located around the throughhole 122. Theentrance end 15 includes asecond bore 151 which communicates with thefirst bores 121. - A
propeller unit 2 located in theroom 11 and includes ashaft 21, and at least onefirst part 22 and at least onesecond part 23 are mounted to theshaft 21. Theshaft 21 including abody 212 and a drivinghead 211 on one end of thebody 212. Thebody 212 located within theroom 11, and thedriving head 211 is a rectangular head that extends through the throughhole 122 and connected with abrush 4. Specifically, thebrush 4 includes aconnection hole 42 defined in one end thereof as shown inFIG. 2 , and thedriving head 211 of theshaft 21 is securely engaged with theconnection hole 42. Thebody 212 of theshaft 21 includesmultiple ribs 213 extending axially from the outside thereof. - The at least one
first part 22 includes afirst tube 221 which includes afirst passage 223 defined axially therethrough. Thefirst tube 221 includes multiplefirst ridges 225 protruding axially from the outside thereof. Each of thefirst ridges 225 defines afirst groove 224 formed axially in the inside of thefirst tube 221. Thebody 212 of theshaft 21 co-rotatably extends through thefirst passage 223 and theribs 213 of thebody 22 are engaged with thefirst grooves 224. Multiplefirst blades 222 are located on the outside of thefirst tube 221. - Similarly, the at least one
second part 23 includes asecond tube 231 which includes asecond passage 233 defined axially therethrough. Thesecond tube 231 includes multiplesecond ridges 235 protruding axially from the outside thereof. Each of thesecond ridges 235 defines asecond groove 234 formed axially in the inside of thesecond tube 231. Thebody 212 of theshaft 21 co-rotatably extends through thesecond passage 233 and theribs 213 of thebody 22 are engaged with thesecond grooves 234. Multiplesecond blades 232 are located on the outside of thesecond tube 231. The first andsecond blades body 212 of theshaft 21 and located alternatively to each other as shown inFIG. 4 . - As shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , aconnector 5 includes afirst connection hole 51 defined in the first end thereof, and theentrance end 15 of thehousing 1 is connected to thefirst connection hole 51. Ahandle 6 has the first end thereof pivotably connected to the second end of theconnector 5. Asecond connection hole 61 is defined in the second end of thehandle 6 so as to be connected with a water source such as a water hose (not shown). The first andsecond connection holes handle 6 further includes anadjustment member 62 which is cooperated with a valve (not shown) in the handle to adjust water volume that enters from thesecond connection hole 61 and exits from thefirst connection hole 51. Awasher 3 is mounted to thedriving head 211 and located between thebody 212 of theshaft 21 and the inside of theexit end 12. Therefore, thebody 212 of theshaft 21 does not directly contact the inside of theexit end 12 to enhance rotation of theshaft 21. Alocking member 7 connects thehousing 1 to theconnector 5. Thehousing 1 and thebrush 4 are pivotable relative to thehandle 6 by theconnector 5. - As shown in
FIG. 3 ,water 8 flows from thesecond connection hole 61 of thehandle 6 and enters into theentrance end 15 via thefirst connection hole 51 of theconnector 5. Thewater 8 drive the first andsecond blades shaft 21 are rotated by the rotation of the first andsecond blades driving head 211 is connected to thebrush 4 so as to rotate thebrush 4. Thebristle 41 on therotational brush 4 effectively clean objects. Thebrush 4 can be easily replaced simply by pulling thebrush 4 from thedriving head 211. - The
brush 4 is rotated by water flow and no electric power needed. - While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
