Description

La présente invention concerne un outil pour faciliter le nettoyage de vitres, et il peut aussi être utilisé comme applicateur de produits brillanteurs ou de nettoyage, par exemples, des cires pour les meubles ou des produits pour épousseter, sur des surfaces planes ou sans trop de sinuosités.The present invention relates to a tool for facilitating the window cleaning, and it can also be used as applicator of brightening or cleaning products, for example examples, furniture waxes or products for dust, on flat surfaces or without too many curves.

Les contenants renfermant des essuie-glaces ou d'autres produits brillanteurs ou nettoyants pourvus d'un bouchon à pulvérisateur manuel sont suffisamment connus, et l'on connaít aussi pour d'autres applications les éponges adhérées à une spatule, par exemple pour le nettoyage des vitres, ou simplement en formant un bloc utilisé pour répandre ou frotter le produit nettoyant sur une surface déterminée. L'on ne connaít aucun outil réunissant les deux éléments en un seul comme dans le cas préconisé.Containers containing windshield wipers or the like brightening or cleaning products with a stopper manual sprayer are sufficiently known, and we know also for other applications the sponges adhered to a spatula, for example for cleaning windows, or simply forming a block used to spread or rub the product cleaning on a specific surface. No tools are known combining the two elements into one as in the case recommended.

Cet outil comprend un contenant renfermant du produit, qui comprend un bouchon poussoir, associé à un pulvérisateur, ledit contenant présentant une face plane, parallèle au bouchon, sur laquelle on a adhéré une éponge, tandis que sur l'autre face opposée, le contenant présente des fentes ou des encoches qui facilitent sa prise en main, de telle manière qu'une fois la surface imprégnée par le pulvérisateur du contenant, on procède aux opérations de nettoyage avec l'éponge adhérée à celui-ci, c'est à dire, en prenant le contenant par la zone postérieure et en appliquant l'éponge sur la surface à nettoyer ou à brillanter.This tool includes a product container, which includes a pusher plug, associated with a sprayer, said container having a flat face, parallel to the cap, on which a sponge was adhered to, while on the other side opposite, the container has slots or notches which facilitate its handling, so that once the surface impregnated by the container sprayer, we proceed cleaning operations with the sponge adhered to it, that is, taking the container through the posterior area and by applying the sponge to the surface to be cleaned or polished.

Dans une réalisation similaire à la précédente, en partant d'un contenant classique on associe un élément incorporant une surface plane, sur la face extérieure duquel on a adhéré une éponge nettoyante, cette surface présentant une fenêtre en correspondance avec le pulvérisateur du contenant pour que le produit soit projeté directement sur la surface à nettoyer.In a realization similar to the previous one, starting of a classic container we associate an element incorporating a flat surface, on the outside of which has been adhered a cleaning sponge, this surface having a window in correspondence with the container sprayer so that the product is sprayed directly onto the surface to be cleaned.

La surface du contenant ou de l'élément nettoyant associé au contenant présente une rainure périphérique où est couplée un couvercle de protection, o un couvercle présentant sur la face extérieure plane une éponge adhérée qui s'applique aussi aux tâches de nettoyages ou de brillantage une fois le produit appliqué au moyen de l'éponge associée au contenant.The surface of the container or cleaning element associated with the container has a peripheral groove where is coupled a protective cover, o a cover having on the face outer plane an adhered sponge which also applies to cleaning or polishing tasks once the product applied using the sponge associated with the container.

L'objet de l'invention sera mieux compris au moyen de la description suivante effectuée sur la base d'un exemple pratique de réalisation ; cette description est réalisée à l'aide des dessins du plan ci-joint, où :

  • La figure 1 représente les vues en perspective de la zone antérieure et de la zone postérieure d'un outil de nettoyage réalisé selon cette invention.
  • La figure 2 montre une vue en section transversale d'un outil de nettoyage associé à un contenant ayant un pulvérisateur classique.
    • The object of the invention will be better understood by means of the following description carried out on the basis of a practical embodiment; this description is made using the drawings on the attached plan, where:
  • FIG. 1 represents the perspective views of the anterior zone and the posterior zone of a cleaning tool produced according to this invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a cleaning tool associated with a container having a conventional sprayer.

    • Dans la figure 1 on observe un contenant (1), qui est un récipient en plastique sous une forme capricieuse généralement allongée, qui est pourvu sur sa zone supérieure d'un bouchon (2) muni d'un pulvérisateur (3) tout à fait classique. Selon la présente invention ce contenant (1) présente une face plane, parallèle au bouchon (2) et orientée dans le même sens que le pulvérisateur (3), sur laquelle on adhère une éponge (4) occupant la totalité de cette face frontale du contenant; dans la face contraire le contenant (1) présente une série de fentes (5), encoches ou toute autre forme facilitant sa prise en main par cette zone, pour qu'une fois le produit appliqué au moyen du bouchon pulvérisateur (2) sur une surface relativement plane, on répand ou on frotte ce produit par l'intermédiaire de l'éponge (4) pour obtenir l'effet souhaité.In figure 1 we observe a container (1), which is a plastic container in a capricious form usually elongated, which is provided on its upper zone with a plug (2) fitted with a completely conventional sprayer (3). According to present invention this container (1) has a flat face, parallel to the plug (2) and oriented in the same direction as the sprayer (3), on which an occupying sponge (4) is adhered the whole of this front face of the container; in the face on the contrary, the container (1) has a series of slots (5), notches or any other form facilitating its handling by this area, so that once the product is applied using the spray cap (2) on a relatively flat surface, spread or rub this product through the sponge (4) to achieve the desired effect.

    Comme on peut observer dans les figures, le contenant présente de préférence, un prolongement latéral, allant même au-delà du bouchon pulvérisateur (2), en conformant en projection un élément sous forme de plaque, dans laquelle il existe une fenêtre (6) à travers laquelle on aperçoit le bouchon (2) avec son pulvérisateur correspondant (3), dont le jet sort a travers ladite fenêtre (6) en imprégnant la surface à nettoyer avant d'appliquer sur celle-ci l'éponge (4) qui dans ce cas, occupe aussi toute la face frontale du contenant. As can be seen in the figures, the container preferably has a lateral extension, even going beyond sprayer cap (2), conforming to a projection element in the form of a plate, in which there is a window (6) through which we can see the plug (2) with its corresponding sprayer (3), the jet of which emerges through said window (6) by impregnating the surface to be cleaned before applying on it the sponge (4) which in this case also occupies all of the front of container.

    Dans la figure 2 on observe un contenant classique (7), pourvu aussi d'un bouchon (2) avec son pulvérisateur correspondant orienté vers le bas. Sur ce contenant (7) on monte une pièce complémentaire (8) et conjointement, les deux éléments se couplent sur une pièce plane (9), par l'intermédiaire d'une rainure périphérique existante sur ceux-ci en correspondance avec une nervure présente sur la face intérieure de ladite pièce (9), qui présente à l'extérieur une éponge adhérée (10), les deux éléments étant munis d'une fenêtre (6) en correspondance avec le pulvérisateur.In Figure 2 we see a classic container (7), also provided with a cap (2) with its corresponding sprayer facing down. On this container (7) we mount a piece complementary (8) and jointly, the two elements are coupled on a flat part (9), via a groove existing device on these in correspondence with a rib present on the inner face of said piece (9), which has an attached sponge (10) on the outside, the two elements being provided with a window (6) corresponding to the sprayer.

    La surface du contenant (1) ou de l'élément nettoyant (9) associé au contenant présente une rainure périphérique dans laquelle se couple un couvercle de protection, ou un couvercle (11) présentant sur la face extérieure plane une éponge adhérée (12) qui s'applique aussi à des tâches de nettoyage ou de brillantage une fois le produit appliqué sur l'éponge associée au contenant.The surface of the container (1) or the cleaning element (9) associated with the container has a peripheral groove in which couples a protective cover, or a cover (11) having on the flat outer face an adhered sponge (12) which also applies to cleaning or cleaning tasks once the product has been applied to the sponge combined with container.
