Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for delivering at least one water-soluble active substance to a cleaning brush, in particular for toilet cleaning, with a receiving element in which the active substance is arranged and which can be detachably attached to the brush handle of the cleaning brush.
  • DE 100 26 522 A1 discloses a device for the metered delivery of cleaning agent to a cleaning brush, in particular for toilet cleaning, with a product container for the cleaning agent, the product container being designed for releasable attachment to the brush handle of the cleaning brush and at least one push-in side wall area and an underside Has outlet opening, which opens when pressure is exerted on the push-in side wall area.
  • this device regardless of other elements, only needs to exert external pressure on the product container, which can be done, for example, by the user moving the cleaning brush with the product container attached to it laterally in the area of the product container presses the upper edge of the toilet bowl.
  • the product container is provided with a holding element, which is preferably designed as a clamping element with a plurality of spreading spring tabs, which makes it possible to adapt the device to different brush handle diameters, ie to use it universally for different cleaning brushes.
  • a holding element which is preferably designed as a clamping element with a plurality of spreading spring tabs, which makes it possible to adapt the device to different brush handle diameters, ie to use it universally for different cleaning brushes.
  • the device has proven itself, it presupposes that the user actually exerts pressure on the product container the liquid active substance escapes and reaches the area of the bristle head. Furthermore, this known device is only suitable for liquid active substances.
  • a generic device is known from WO 02/0567 AI.
  • This device has a receiving element, which is preferably designed as a ring, which is clamped onto the brush handle of a cleaning brush.
  • the active substance is arranged on this receiving element and is attached to the receiving element in a suitable manner.
  • This device is basically suitable for various active substances, in particular also for solid, gel-like and / or granulate-like.
  • the handling of this device is unsatisfactory since the user has to attach this active substance to the receiving element, which means that the user has to touch the active substance himself, which is unacceptable.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a solution with which the active substance can be dosed as precisely and quasi automatically as possible on a cleaning brush.
  • the receiving element has at least one first chamber in which the active substance is arranged and at least one second chamber located underneath, the first chamber having at least one water inlet opening and at least one lower-side passage opening for connection to the second chamber and wherein the second chamber has at least one lateral overflow outlet opening.
  • the device according to the invention is after single use, i.e. ready for use after immersion in water or overflowing with water, since appropriately dissolved active substance, which can be solid, granular, gel-like or liquid, enters the lower second chamber through the opening on the underside of the first chamber.
  • the second chamber is dimensioned such that it is filled with dissolved active substance at least up to the level of the overflow outlet opening by a single overflow during a toilet flushing process. If the cleaning brush is used again and moved, e.g. rotated or inclined, the "pre-assembled" amount of dissolved active substance emerges from the second chamber through the overflow outlet opening and reaches the bristles of the cleaning brush directly.
  • An active activity of the user is not necessary, and an exact amount of product can also be set by dimensioning the second chamber accordingly.
  • the brush is, as usual, also led into the toilet sump or flooded with water, so that water enters the first chamber and dissolves active substance there, whereby the second chamber is then automatically filled again with dissolved active substance.
  • the device is then prepared for a next cleaning process.
  • the second chamber in connection with the arrangement of the overflow outlet opening is dimensioned such that the released amount of active substance adheres to the bristles of the cleaning brush and does not drip into the brush holder.
  • a plurality of separate lower chambers are provided, each of which is connected to the first chamber via at least one passage opening.
  • several overflow outlet openings can also be provided on the second chamber or chambers. Since the overflow outlet openings are preferably to be arranged radially on the inside, in order to ensure that the released active substance drips only onto the bristles of the cleaning brush and not into the environment, the provision of two second lower chambers offers the advantage that satisfactory active substance delivery also takes place. if the cleaning brush is held at an angle in only one direction during the cleaning process, which could result in too little active substance solution escaping.
  • the receiving element has at least two first chambers, a different active substance being arranged in each first chamber. This makes it possible to use active substances that have to be stored separately from one another and may only be mixed with one another during use, since they are then either no longer effective or are not compatible with common storage anyway. This makes it possible to make such a device suitable for the use of incompatible recipe components.
  • the active substances are incompatible, it is preferably provided that at least one separate second chamber is assigned to each first chamber, that is to say that the two dissolved active substances can only be mixed after they have emerged from the separated second chambers, i.e. before No mixing takes place in a common second chamber.
  • the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. This shows a device according to the invention attached to a cleaning brush in:
  • Fig. 3 in a delivery position.
  • a cleaning brush in particular for cleaning the toilet, has a brush handle 1 which merges into a bristle head 2 on the underside, which is covered with bristles 3.
  • a device according to the invention for dispensing at least one water-soluble active substance is attached, for example clamped, to the brush handle 1 of this cleaning brush.
  • This device is generally designated by 4.
  • the device 4 has a substantially closed receiving element 5, which can be C-shaped or U-shaped when viewed from above in order to be able to clamp it laterally to the brush handle 1.
  • This receiving element 5 initially has at least one upper first chamber 6 in which a water-soluble active substance 7 is arranged.
  • This water soluble, e.g. ring-shaped active substance 7 is solid or stick-shaped in this embodiment, it could also be gel-shaped, granular or possibly also liquid. It is essential that it is water-soluble.
  • At least one second lower chamber 8 is provided in the receiving element 5, this second chamber 8 communicates with the first chamber 6 through at least one passage opening 9.
  • the receiving element 5 has a plurality of water inlet openings 10 into the first chamber 6.
  • the at least one second lower chamber 8 has at least one lateral overflow outlet opening 11 such that liquid can only escape from the device 4, ie the lower chamber 8, if the fill level in the second chamber 8 is at least as high as the level of Overflow outlet opening 11.
  • the device 4 When the device 4 is put into use for the first time, it is clamped onto the brush handle 1 of the cleaning brush, as shown, preferably directly above the bristle head 2 of the cleaning brush, in such a way that the overflow outlet openings 11 are located directly above the bristles 3 of the cleaning brush 3.
  • the cleaning brush with the device 4 attached to it is now inserted into a toilet bowl and either the toilet flush is actuated or the brush is immersed in the toilet sump.
  • water-soluble active substance is dissolved and this liquid active substance solution enters the second lower chamber 8 of the device 4 through the passage openings 9.
  • the fill level of the second lower chamber 8 is as high as the level of the overflow outlet openings 11, dissolved active substance can escape through these openings 11 and reach the bristles 3, the cleaning brush is thus contaminated with active substance and can be used.
  • the cleaning brush with the device 4 located thereon has no water contact and is located, for example outside the toilet bowl.
  • the device 4 can be used directly without further contact with water, since the at least one lower chamber 8 is completely, ie up to the area of the overflow outlet openings 11, filled with dissolved active substance.
  • first or second chamber can also be provided, particularly preferably it can be provided that two or more separate first chambers are provided which hold different active substances. Different first chambers 8 are then assigned to these first chambers, such that the active substances only come into contact with one another on the cleaning brush even after it has exited the device. This separate inclusion and delivery of different active substances opens up completely new possibilities for the product design of such active substances.
