Abstract

The cleaning brush has in the inner region (11) of its brush head (3) a group of shorter bristle bundles (8) with harder bristles, which group is surrounded by a group (9, 10) of longer bristle bundles (6). Thus the cleaning brush (1) allows a combined effect of both types of bristle bundles in that the group of shorter bristle bundles (8) primarily exerts a scratching effect and the group of longer bristle bundles (6) primarily exerts a wiping effect. Additionally, under lesser pressure on the brush head (3), the brushing effect can be restricted to the longer and softer bristle bundles (6) in order to apply a gentler treatment to certain surfaces to be cleaned. The harder bristle bundles (8) also prevent premature wear of the cleaning brush. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abwaschbürste mit einem sich an einen Bürstenstiel anschliessenden Bürstenkopf, in dem zahlreiche Borstenbüschel an einem ihrer Enden gehalten sind.The invention relates to a washing-up brush with a brush head adjoining a brush handle, in which numerous tufts of bristles are held at one end.

Für verschiedenartige Reinigungsaufgaben sind Abwaschbürsten mit härteren und weicheren Borsten bekannt. Die verschiedenen Härtegrade ergeben sich durch das Biegeverhalten der Borsten, so dass Bürsten entsprechend der Härte ihrer Borsten mit verschieden grossem Kraftaufwand entlang der zu reinigenden Oberfläche zu bewegen sind. Da sich beim Abwaschen verschiedenartige Reinigungsaufgaben stellen, z.B. beim Entfernen von angebrannten Speiseresten oder beim Reinigen von nur leicht verschmutztem Geschirr, ist es nachteilig, hierfür verschiedene Abwaschbürsten benutzen zu müssen. Es wurde deshalb bereits vorgeschlagen, an der Rückseite des Bürstenkopfes einen Schaber oder eine Gruppe von härteren Borstenbüscheln vorzusehen (DE-GM 83 01 546.9), so dass die Abwaschbürste,z.B. zum Entfernen von Verkrustungen, zeitweise in um 180° verdrehter Position zu benutzen ist, anstatt eine andere Abwaschbürste zu verwenden.Washing brushes with harder and softer bristles are known for various cleaning tasks. The different degrees of hardness result from the bending behavior of the bristles, so that brushes can be moved along the surface to be cleaned with different amounts of force depending on the hardness of their bristles. Since different cleaning tasks arise when washing up, e.g. When removing burnt-on food residues or cleaning dishes that are only slightly dirty, it is disadvantageous to use different washing-up brushes for this. It has therefore already been proposed to provide a scraper or a group of harder bristle tufts on the back of the brush head (DE-GM 83 01 546.9), so that the washing brush, e.g. to remove incrustations, temporarily in a position rotated by 180 °, instead of using another washing-up brush.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Abwaschbürste mit verbesserter Reinigungswirkung zu finden, die ohne Veränderung ihrer Ausrichtung zur zu reinigenden Oberfläche verschiedenartige Reinigungsaufgaben erfüllen kann. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt aufgrund der Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The object of the invention is to find a washing-up brush with an improved cleaning effect which can perform various cleaning tasks without changing its orientation to the surface to be cleaned. This object is achieved on the basis of the features of patent claim 1.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig.1 eine Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemässen Abwaschbürste,
  • Fig.2 eine Ansicht der Unterseite der Abwaschbürste nach Fig.1,
  • Fig.3 eine im Bereich des Bürstenkopfes geschnittene Seitenansicht der Abwaschbürste nach Fig. 1 und 2 und
  • Fig.4 eine Aufsicht auf eine Abwaschbürste nach den Fig. 1 bis 3.
The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment illustrated in the drawings. It shows:
  • 1 shows a side view of a washing-up brush according to the invention,
  • 2 shows a view of the underside of the washing-up brush Fig.1,
  • 3 shows a side view, cut in the region of the brush head, of the washing-up brush according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and
  • 4 shows a top view of a washing-up brush according to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Die Abwaschbürste 1 des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles hat einen im Winkel zu dem Bürstenstiel 2 angeordneten Bürstenkopf 3, so dass die in einer Ebene 4 angeordneten Enden 5 der längeren Borstenbüschel 6 sich in arbeitsgünstiger Position der den Bürstenstiel 2 ergreifenden Hand über die zu reinigende Oberfläche bewegen lassen. Entsprechend dem auf die Abwaschbürste 1 ausgeübten Druck biegen sich die längeren und sich damit weicher verhaltenden Borstenbüschel 6 aus, so dass die Borstenendbereiche sich in flacherem Winkel zu der zu reinigenden Oberfläche einstellen. Bei stärkerem Druck auf den Bürstenkopf 3 und entsprechend besonders flacher Ausrichtung der längeren Borstenbüschel 6 kommen die Borstenbüschel 6 über eine zunehmende Länge ihrer Endbereiche in die Nähe der zu reinigenden Oberfläche, so dass sie zunehmend eine Wischwirkung anstatt einer Kratzwirkung mittels ihrer Enden ausüben. Bei Abwaschbürsten bekannter Ausführung bewirkt ein besonders starker Druck auf den Bürstenkopf durch das daraus folgende Umbiegen der Borstenbüschel und den dann fehlenden Kontakt der Borstenspitzen mit der zu reinigenden Oberfläche eine Verschlechterung der Reinigungswirkung, obwohl der Benutzer glaubt, durch grösseren Kraftaufwand eine stärkere Reinigungswirkung erzielen zu können. Ein zu grösser Kraftaufwand kann auch zu bleibenden Deformationen der Borstenbüschel führen. Die gemäss der Erfindung im inneren Bereich der Anordnung von Borstenbüscheln vorgesehenen härteren Borstenbüschel 8 sind wesentlich kürzer, so dass sie erst nach stärkerem Andruck des Bürstenkopfes 3 an der zu reinigenden Fläche mit dieser in Kontakt gelangen. Durch ihre Härte, bzw. durch ihre höhere Biegesteifigkeit, bewirken die kürzeren und härteren Borstenbüschel 8 eine Abstützung des Bürstenkopfes an der zu reinigenden Oberfläche und verhindern damit eine zu starke bzw. nachteilige Ausbiegung der längeren Borstenbüschel 6. Die kürzeren Borstenbüschel halten ihre verhältnismässig steile Ausrichtung relativ zu der zu reinigenden Oberfläche aufgrund ihrer höheren Steifigkeit auch bei starkem Andruck der Abwaschbürste 1 aufrecht, so dass ihre überwiegend kratzende Reinigungswirkung erhalten bleibt, während gleichzeitig die längeren Borstenbüschel 6 einen zusätzlichen Wischeffekt ausüben. Die kombinierte Wirkung zwischen längeren und kürzeren Borstenbüschelnführt zu einer schnelleren und gründlicheren Reinigung.The washing-up brush 1 of the exemplary embodiment shown has a brush head 3 arranged at an angle to the brush handle 2, so that the ends 5 of the longer bristle tufts 6 arranged in a plane 4 can be moved over the surface to be cleaned in a convenient position of the hand gripping the brush handle 2. In accordance with the pressure exerted on the washing-up brush 1, the longer and thus softer bristle tufts 6 bend out, so that the bristle end regions are set at a flatter angle to the surface to be cleaned. With greater pressure on the brush head 3 and correspondingly particularly flat alignment of the longer bristle tufts 6, the bristle tufts 6 come closer to the surface to be cleaned over an increasing length of their end regions, so that they increasingly exert a wiping action instead of a scratching action by means of their ends. In the case of washing-up brushes of a known design, a particularly strong pressure on the brush head, as a result of the consequent bending of the bristle tufts and the lack of contact of the bristle tips with the surface to be cleaned, results in a deterioration in the cleaning effect, although the user believes that a greater cleaning effect can be achieved by applying greater force . Excessive force can also lead to permanent deformation of the bristle tufts. The harder bristle tufts 8 provided according to the invention in the inner region of the arrangement of tufts of bristles are considerably shorter, so that they only come into contact with the surface to be cleaned after the brush head 3 has been pressed hard. Due to their hardness or their higher bending stiffness, the shorter and harder bristle tufts 8 support the brush head on the surface to be cleaned and thus prevent the longer bristle tufts 6 from bending too strongly or disadvantageously. The shorter bristle tufts keep their relatively steep orientation Relative to the surface to be cleaned due to its higher rigidity even with strong pressure on the washing-up brush 1, so that its predominantly scratching cleaning action is retained, while at the same time the longer bristle tufts 6 exert an additional wiping effect. The combined effect between longer and shorter bristle tufts leads to faster and more thorough cleaning.

Die härtere Bürstwirkung der kürzeren Borstenbüschel 8 ergibt sich bereits aufgrund ihrer kürzeren Biege- bzw. Knicklänge. Ausserdem können die härteren Borstenbüschel auch aus dickeren Borsten und/oder aus einem härteren Material bestehen.The harder brushing effect of the shorter bristle tufts 8 results from their shorter bending or kinking lengths. In addition, the harder tufts of bristles can also consist of thicker bristles and / or a harder material.

Die verschiedenen Borstenbüschel 6,8 können nach verschiedenen Mustern relativ zueinander angeordnet sein. Wesentlich ist die gruppenweise Anordnung beider Arten von Borstenbüscheln, indem die Gruppe der härteren Borstenbüschel 8 von der Gruppe der weicheren Borstenbüschel zumindest teilweise umschlossen ist. Beispielsweise umschliesst mindestens eine Reihe 9 von längeren Borstenbüscheln 6 die übrigen Borstenbüschel in u-förmiger Anordnung, wie es die Fig. 2 veranschaulicht. Dort ist die äussere Reihe 9 u-förmig, während eine weitere Reihe 10 von längeren Borstenbüscheln 6 die in drei Reihen 11 angeordneten kürzeren Borstenbüschel vollständig umschliesst.The different bristle tufts 6, 8 can be arranged relative to one another according to different patterns. What is essential is the grouped arrangement of both types of bristle tufts, in that the group of the harder bristle tufts 8 is at least partially enclosed by the group of the softer bristle tufts. For example, at least one row 9 of longer bristle tufts 6 encloses the remaining bristle tufts in a U-shaped arrangement, as illustrated in FIG. 2. There, the outer row 9 is U-shaped, while another row 10 of longer bristle tufts 6 completely surrounds the shorter bristle tufts arranged in three rows 11.

Vorteilhaft haben die Borstenbüschel 6,8 in an sich bekannter Weise eine vom Bürstenstiel weg zunehmend starke Neigung relativ zu dem plattenförmig gestalteten Bürstenkopf 3. Durch Veränderung des auf den Bürstenkopf 3 ausgeübten Anpressdruckes gegen die zu reinigende Fläche ist es möglich, wahlweise nur die weicheren Borstenbüschel 6 zu benützen, beispielsweise um empfindliches Material zu reinigen oder mit gewünschter Intensität auch die kürzeren Borstenbüschel 8 zur Anwendung zu bringen.Advantageously, the bristle tufts 6, 8 have, in a manner known per se, an increasingly strong inclination away from the brush handle relative to the plate-shaped brush head 3. By changing the contact pressure exerted on the brush head 3 against the surface to be cleaned, it is possible to selectively use only the softer bristle tufts 6, for example to clean sensitive material or to use the shorter bristle tufts 8 with the desired intensity.

Die kürzeren Borstenbüschel 8 im inneren Bereich der Anordnung von Borstenbüscheln bewirken weiterhin, dass eine bisher auftretende stärkere Abnutzung einer Abwaschbürste in diesem inneren Bereich vermieden wird.The shorter bristle tufts 8 in the inner region of the arrangement of bristle tufts also have the effect that a stronger wear of a washing-up brush that has previously occurred is avoided in this inner region.

Eine erfindungsgemässe Abwaschbürste 1 kann zur Erweiterung ihrer Einsatzmöglichkeiten zusätzlich an der Rückseite ihres Kopfes mit einer u-förmig den Bürstenkopf 3 umschliessenden Borstenwendel 12 versehen sein. Eine solche Abwaschbürste 1 eignet sich besonders auch für die Reinigung des Innenraumes von Hohlkörpern.A washing-up brush 1 according to the invention can additionally be provided on the back of its head with a U-shaped bristle coil 12 surrounding the brush head 3 in order to expand its possible uses. Such a washing-up brush 1 is also particularly suitable for cleaning the interior of hollow bodies.
