Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine, Bürste insbesondere zum Reinigen von Toilettenbecken, welche aus einem Stiel besteht, an dessen einem Ende ein Handgriff und an dessen anderem Ende eine Vielzahl von Borsten angeordnet sind.The present invention relates to a brush, in particular for cleaning toilet bowls, which consists of a stem with a handle at one end and the other end a plurality of bristles are arranged.

Um sicherzustellen, daß Toilettenbecken nicht Brutstätten für Sporen und Bakterien sind, befinden sich eine Anzahl von WC-Reinigern im Handel, deren wirksame Chemikalien saure Salze, beispielsweise Hydrogensulfate, oder Tenside sind. Saure Abwässer beeinträchtigen jedoch die biologische Stufe in Kläranlagen, während Tenside mikrobiologisch schwer abbaubar sind.To ensure that toilet bowls are not breeding grounds for spores and bacteria, There are a number of toilet cleaners on the market whose effective chemicals are acidic Salts, for example hydrogen sulfates, or surfactants. However, acidic waste water affects the biological level in sewage treatment plants, while surfactants are difficult to biodegrade.

Wegen der geschilderten Nachteile sind nur mechanische Mittel zur Freihaltung der Toilettenbecken von Schmutz als Brutstätten für Sporen und Bakterien geeignet. Dabei ist ein großer Teil der bekannten Bürsten lediglich zur Reinigung der von außen sichtbaren Teile des Toilettenbeckens geeignet. Darüber hinaus ist aus der Offenlegungsschrift DE 43 45 118 A1 eine zum Reinigen von Toilettenschüsseln geeignete Bürste bekannt, welche aus einem Bürstenstiel mit einem Handgriff an seinem einen Ende und mit einem Borstenbereich an seinem anderen Ende besteht. Dabei ist ein erster Teil des Borstenbereiches am Stiel gerade angeordnet, während ein anderer Teil des Borstenbereiches abgebogen ist, wobei beide Teile einen spitzen Winkel einschließen.Because of the disadvantages described, there are only mechanical means for keeping the toilet bowl free of dirt as a breeding ground for spores and bacteria. There is a big part the known brushes only for cleaning the parts of the toilet bowl visible from the outside suitable. In addition, the published patent application DE 43 45 118 A1 for Cleaning toilet bowls suitable brush known, which with a brush handle a handle at one end and a bristle area at its other end consists. A first part of the bristle area is arranged straight on the stem, while a other part of the bristle area is bent, both parts enclosing an acute angle.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Bürste anzugeben, welche so ausgestaltet ist, daß damit Toilettenbecken vollständig gereinigt werden können, insbesondere auch das einen Teil des Geruchsverschlusses bildende, horizontal angeordnete Ablaufrohr im unteren Bereich des Toilettenbeckens.The object of the present invention is to provide a brush which is designed such that so that toilet bowls can be completely cleaned, especially a part of the Odor trap, horizontally arranged drain pipe in the lower area of the Toilet bowl.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Stiel aus einem Oberteil und einem Unterteil besteht, wobei das Oberteil mit dem Handgriff verbunden ist und wobei das Unterteil an seinem dem Oberteil abgewandten Ende mit der Vielzahl von Borsten versehen ist; daß das Oberteil eine Ausnehmung aufweist; daß das Unterteil mit einem Zapfen versehen ist; und daß der untere Bereich des Unterteiles aus biegeelastischem Material besteht.The object is achieved in that the handle from an upper part and a The lower part consists of the upper part being connected to the handle and the lower part is provided with the plurality of bristles at its end facing away from the upper part; that this Upper part has a recess; that the lower part is provided with a pin; and that the lower part of the lower part is made of flexible material.

Die Bürste gemäß der Erfindung kann weiterhin wahlweise auch noch dadurch ausgestaltet sein, daß:

  • a) die Ausnehmung zentrisch in das Oberteil eingearbeitet ist;
  • b) die Ausnehmung azentrisch in das Oberteil eingearbeitet ist;
  • c) in die Ausnehmung ein Gewinde eingeschnitten ist;
  • d) der Zapfen zentrisch in das Unterteil eingesetzt ist;
  • e) der Zapfen azentrisch in das Unterteil eingesetzt ist;
  • f) der Zapfen mit Gewinde versehen ist
    • The brush according to the invention can furthermore optionally also be designed in that:
  • a) the recess is machined centrally in the upper part;
  • b) the recess is machined eccentrically into the upper part;
  • c) a thread is cut into the recess;
  • d) the pin is inserted centrally in the lower part;
  • e) the pin is inserted eccentrically into the lower part;
  • f) the pin is threaded

    • Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Bürste ist von Vorteil, daß das den Borstenbereich tragende Unterteil bei Verschleiß oder starker Verschmutzung der Borsten gegen ein neues Unterteil unter Weiterbenutzung von Oberteil und Handgriff ausgetauscht werden kann. In the brush according to the invention it is advantageous that the lower part carrying the bristle area if the bristles are worn or heavily soiled against a new lower part Further use of the upper part and handle can be exchanged.

    In the accompanying drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically and in section.
    Show:
    Figure 1
    the overall view of a brush
    Figure 2
    the two separate parts of the brush.

    Die Bürste besteht aus einem Stiel ( 1 ), an dessen oberen Ende ein Handgriff ( 2 ) angeordnet ist. Der Stiel ( 1 ) besteht aus einem mit dem Handgriff ( 2 ) verbundenen Oberteil ( 3 ) und einem Unterteil ( 4 ), dessen dem Oberteil abgewandter unterer Bereich mit einer Vielzahl von Borsten ( 5 ) versehen ist.
    In das Oberteil ( 3 ) des Stieles ( 1 ) ist auf seinem dem Handgriff ( 2 ) abgewandten Ende eine Ausnehmung ( 6 ) eingearbeitet, in welche ein Gewinde eingeschnitten ist.
    In das den Borsten ( 5 ) abgewandte Ende des Unterteiles ( 4 ) ist ein mit Gewinde versehener Zapfen ( 7 ) eingesetzt.
    Durch den Zapfen ( 7 ) und die Ausnehmung ( 6 ) sind das Unterteil ( 4 ) und das Oberteil ( 3 ) miteinander verbindbar bzw. voneinander trennbar.
    Der obere Bereich ( 8 ) des Unterteiles ( 4 ) besteht aus biegeelastischem Material. Dabei kann als biegeelastisches Material beispielsweise ein Gummi - Metall - Puffer verwendet werden, wobei als Gummi Naturkautschuk oder Neopren mit Shore - Härten von 20 bis 90 dienen kann.
    Es kann aber als biegeelastisches Material auch ein aus einem Schwingmetall bestehendes Element angewendet werden , wobei das Schwingmetall um den Gesamtumfang um etwa 180° abknickbar ist.
    Als biegeelastisches Material sollen nur solche Stoffe eingesetzt werden, die im pH - Bereich von 3 bis 10 , vorzugsweise von 4 bis 8 , im wesentlichen beständig sind.    The brush consists of a handle (1), at the upper end of which a handle (2) is arranged. The handle (1) consists of an upper part (3) connected to the handle (2) and a lower part (4), the lower part of which is remote from the upper part and is provided with a large number of bristles (5).
    In the upper part (3) of the handle (1) on its end facing away from the handle (2) a recess (6) is machined, into which a thread is cut.
    A threaded pin (7) is inserted into the end of the lower part (4) facing away from the bristles (5).
    The lower part (4) and the upper part (3) can be connected or separated from one another by means of the pin (7) and the recess (6).
    The upper area (8) of the lower part (4) consists of flexible material. A rubber-metal buffer, for example, can be used as the flexible material, natural rubber or neoprene with Shore hardnesses of 20 to 90 being used as the rubber.
    However, an element consisting of a vibrating metal can also be used as the flexible material, the vibrating metal being able to be bent around the entire circumference by approximately 180 °.
    Only materials that are essentially stable in the pH range from 3 to 10, preferably from 4 to 8, should be used as the flexible material.
