Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new concept for a multipurpose electric brush, which can supply liquid soap or wax, and a method for realizing the same.
  • an electric brush which is commercially available on the market, cannot supply liquid soap or wax. Therefore, every time cleaning work is conducted, the liquid soap or wax must be manually applied to the bristles of the brush, which is cumbersome. Also, because the shape and the material of the brush are limited, the use of the brush is limited to certain cleaning targets. Further, due to the fact that the electric brush is constructed to rotate only in one direction, if the brush is used for an extended period, the bristles of the brush are likely to collapse to one side. Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve these problems, improve convenience and efficiency in use, and extend the range of cleaning targets and the usefulness of an electric brush.
  • a refillable flexible tube is installed on a handle. After the flexible tube is filled with liquid soap or wax, by pressing the flexible tube with the fingers, the liquid soap or wax is transferred through a rotatable driving pipe to the end portion of an electric brush, which has outlet holes, and is then evenly distributed over the cleaning part of the electric brush by the centrifugal force of the rotating driving pipe.
  • the cleaning part can be changed with others which have various shapes and are made of various cleaning materials (such as bristles, a scrubber and a piece of cloth). Also, the rotating direction of the electric brush can be changed as a user desires.
  • FIG. 1 is the prototype of an electric brush which is made of acryl so that the inside thereof can be viewed
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating the electric brush according to the present invention.
  • a refillable tube 1 is installed on a handle, and liquid soap or wax is charged in the tube 1.
  • the liquid soap or wax is transferred through a supply line 7 and a driving pipe 6 to the end portion, that is, the cleaning part 2 of the electric brush, and is then evenly distributed over the entire cleaning part 2 by the centrifugal force of the rotating driving pipe 6.
  • the cleaning part of the electric brush can be exchanged with others depending upon the use of the brush or the cleaning target. That is to say, depending upon the shape of the cleaning part or the cleaning material (such as bristles, a scrubber or a piece of cloth) attached to the cleaning part, the electric brush can be used for various uses such as for cleaning sports shoes, furniture, vessels, a restroom, etc.
  • the cleaning part or the cleaning material such as bristles, a scrubber or a piece of cloth

  • the technical objects to be achieved by the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 2.
  • a refillable flexible tube 1 for accommodating liquid soap or wax is installed on a handle.
  • the tube 1 partially projects out of the handle so as to be easily pressed with the fingers, and is made of resin, having a predetermined degree of flexibility. Since the tube 1 is refillable, the tube 1 can be refilled with liquid soap or wax.
  • the refillable tube 1 and a driving pipe 6 are located parallel to each other to be placed side by side.
  • the driving pipe 6 is connected to the shaft of a driving motor 5 and is defined with a plurality of liquid soap or wax inlet holes 16. A portion of the driving pipe 6 is inserted into a liquid soap or wax storage tank 8.
  • the refillable flexible tube 1 and the storage tank 8 are connected with each other by a supply line 7. When the refillable tube 1 is pressed with the fingers, liquid soap or wax is supplied into the storage tank 8 through the supply line 7, is introduced into the driving pipe 6 through the inlet holes 16, and is then transferred to the end portion, that is, the cleaning part 2 of the electric brush through the driving pipe 6.
  • the cleaning part 2 is defined with a passage 4 for allowing the driving pipe 6 to be fitted therein, so that the cleaning part 2 can be connected to and disconnected from the driving pipe 6.
  • FIGs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 indicate prototypes of the electric brush which are obtained by realizing the actual cleaning part so that it has one of various shapes using various cleaning materials, and illustrate intermediate or final products formed in main manufacturing processes.
  • FIGs. 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 show the passage and the outlet holes which are defined in the cleaning part.
  • the cleaning part can be formed to have shapes for inside cleaning and outside cleaning (see FIGs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9).
  • a cleaning part for inside cleaning can be used for cleaning the inside of a sports shoe
  • a cleaning part for outside cleaning can be used for cleaning the outside of the sports shoe.
  • the cleaning materials attached to the cleaning part can include bristles, a scrubber, and a piece of cloth (see FIGs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12). That is to say, by attaching the bristles to the cleaning part, the electric brush can be used to clean sports shoes or other shoes.
  • the scrubber can be used to clean furniture, and the piece of cloth can be used to wash vessels. Further, thick bristles can be used to clean the floor of a restroom, etc.
  • a conventional dry battery and a separation type rechargeable battery can be used. Also, as in a powered toothbrush, an embedded type charging device can be built into the electric brush.
  • liquid soap or wax may leak between the rotating driving pipe 6 and a bearing 10.
  • a rubber O-ring 9 between the driving pipe 6 and the bearing 10, the leakage of liquid soap or wax can be prevented.
  • the present invention relates to a multipurpose electric brush which can supply liquid soap or wax during cleaning.
  • a refillable tube for accommodating liquid soap or wax is installed on a handle of the electric brush. After filling the tube with liquid soap or wax, by pressing the tube with the fingers during cleaning, liquid soap or wax can be transferred to the end portion, that is, a cleaning part of the electric brush.
