Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning brush for in particular curved surfaces, in particular for use as a toilet brush, dish brush, brush for cleaning the gutter, cosmetic peeling brush or sauna brush.
  • Toilet brushes are used to clean today common toilet bowls, which are usually made of porcelain and have a U-shaped, downwardly open, inner edge, in which the water is flushed and in which e- incidentally can settle dirt.
  • the toilet brush itself so especially their cleaning head, yet be designed so that the cleaning process in the cleaning head settling solid contaminants are also easily removable, preferably only by means of the flow of water toilet flushing inside the toilet bowl ,
  • toilet brushes For this purpose, different forms of toilet brushes are known.
  • the most common form consists of a cleaning head, which is rotationally symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the stem, and which consists of bristles, usually bundles of bristles, which are received by the body of the cleaning head, which is a kind of extension in the axial direction of the stem.
  • both the bristles and the stem and the body of the cleaning head made of plastic.
  • the disadvantage of this design is that the bristles are relatively thin, usually less than 1 mm, and clean only a very narrow track when moving along with their free ends over a surface to be cleaned.
  • the ends of the individual bristles are relatively far apart, namely several millimeters, which is necessary in order not to complicate a subsequent cleaning of the bristles themselves, because the closer the bristles are together, the heavier deposited therebetween Remove impurities. This is particularly evident when the bristles are arranged in tufts, the more difficult they are to remove impurities from the interstices between the bristles, the closer they have penetrated to the attachment point of the tuft on the main body, and the closer the bristles are to one another.
  • the bristles In order to ensure a sufficient cleaning effect on the bottom and side surfaces of the toilet bowl, the bristles would have to have sufficient rigidity. However, this in turn prevents bending and penetration of the bristles under the cranked edge, and if so, then cleaning takes place only on the outside of the cranked edge, but not on the inside.
  • toilet brushes are known in which the cleaning head is a main body in the form of a small, stable plate, from which the bristles or bristle bundles substantially parallel running and only slightly diverging mostly in only one direction, approximately perpendicular to the main plane of the body or in both directions, which are perpendicular to this, protrude.
  • the plate plane of the body is attached bent on the stem.
  • a cleaning of the visible surfaces of the toilet can be done easily, but a cleaning under the bent edge is thus completely impossible.
  • DE 101 52 123 C1 describes a cylindrical rotary body as a cleaning head, which has at least one plane surface, for example in the form of a secant-shaped flattening.
  • PCT application WO 03/088800 A1 requires a recess in the rotationally symmetrical outer contour of the bristle brush head, in order to be able to drive in better around the cranked edge with the convex part near the free end of the cleaning head.
  • bristle-free cleaning heads for example rotationally symmetrical bodies or irregularly shaped bodies with punctiform nubs, line-shaped projections etc. on the surface, which are differently arranged and shaped can be and very little, usually 1-2 mm, projecting beyond the rest of the surface.
  • DE 199 41 718 shows an approximately cylindrical cleaning head with a closed outer surface, on the outer surface, in particular spirally encircling, lamellae are arranged.
  • the different flexibility of its edge regions relative to the central region has the advantage that on the one hand by pressing the relatively stiff central region on the bottom surface of the toilet bowl, a relatively high pressure can be applied, and on the other hand, the flexible Rims of the flat body can be easily inserted under the bent edge of the toilet bowl to effect a cleaning there.
  • a plurality of cleaning elements are arranged, which protrude transversely from the surface of the body, and can protrude at the edge in the main plane of the body.
  • Bristles having different cross-sectional shapes can be used as cleaning elements, in particular hollow or massive cleaning elements in their cross-section.
  • the orientation of the cross section of such bristles can be selected in each case in the same direction, or viewed from the attachment point of the stem on the base body from each pointing radially outward, the latter simplifies a non-directional use of the brush.
  • the cleaning elements in particular the bristles, integrally formed with the base body of a plastic, such as a rubber-like plastic, and the transition from the body to the cleaning elements or bristles are rounded with a radius of curvature of at least 1 mm, more preferably at least 2 mm, in particular at least 3 mm, thereby preventing the deposition of impurities, which is easier in edges.
  • the cleaning elements such as the bristles, arranged on the body at a minimum distance of 3 mm or more, better 4 mm or 5 mm, and accordingly individually and not tufted summarized to also impede the deposition of impurities ,
  • the total thickness of the cleaning head is - at least in some of its edge areas - measured including the extension of the cleaning elements attached to it slightly more than the free width in the U-shaped crank of the toilet bowl, so that when you go in with the edges of the brush under the cranked Edge forcibly cleaning takes place both on the inside and on the outside of the crank.
  • the individual edge regions of the base body which may be heart-shaped, kidney-shaped or freely designed in plan view, but preferably convex outward bulges, may be flexibly flexible.
  • one and the same edge region can be flexibly flexible in the two transverse directions to the main plane of the main body, which can easily be achieved, for example, by stiffening ribs present on one side of the main body.
  • the cleaning elements on the two sides of the base body have a different rigidity and / or different cross-sectional contours and / or different cross-sectional dimensions to make the cleaning effect of the two sides of the body different, which is particularly advantageous when the stem of Basic body in its main extension direction protrudes, so that the main body can also be used on the bottom surface of the toilet bowl with both sides.
  • the attachment point of the stem may be arranged offset to the base instead of the edge of the body to the center, and even protrude from the main plane of the main body from perpendicular.
  • the main body of the cleaning head is hollow, which can be used for different purposes.
  • the wall of the main body outlet openings in particular in valve form, which opens only when pressure on the outer surface, be arranged to deploy a stored in the cavity disinfectant or cleaning agent.
  • the cavity in the body is in communication with a cavity in the stem, and the stem is designed as a pump, for example by a piston in its tubular cylinder is sealed displaced.
  • either the dispensing of a cleaning agent or a disinfectant or a scent can be varied via spout openings present in the main body, or the base body has no such outlet openings, and by means of actuation of the pump of the handle the standing overpressure varies, so preferably increased. This in turn leads to a stiffening of the body and thus to an increase in the cleaning effect, which can then be applied with the head.
  • the brush preferably has a locking device in order to maintain the increased pressure in the main body of the cleaning head, ie, for example, to secure the pump piston in a forwardly pushed position.
