しかし、靴洗浄装置に用いる洗浄ブラシの場合、洗浄水を洗浄ブラシに供給する水栓は、ユーザが水栓にアクセスしやすいように、靴を洗うユーザの前面に位置するように、通常設けられている。この水栓の位置から洗浄ブラシの柄の先端を経由してホースをつなぐルートでは、靴洗浄中にホースがユーザの脚や腕に接触し、洗浄操作がスムーズに行えないばかりでなく、衣服に水がかかる場合もある。 However, in the case of cleaning brushes used in shoe cleaning devices, the faucet that supplies cleaning water to the cleaning brush is usually located in front of the user washing shoes so that the user can easily access the faucet. ing. This route of connecting the hose from the faucet location to the tip of the cleaning brush handle causes the hose to come into contact with the user's legs and arms while cleaning shoes, which not only prevents smooth cleaning operations but also causes damage to clothes. There may be water splashes.

そこで、本発明は、靴洗浄装置に用いる洗浄ブラシをユーザがより使いやすくなるように改良を加えるものである。 Therefore, the present invention improves the cleaning brush used in the shoe cleaning device so that it is easier for the user to use.

（１）上記課題を解決するために、本発明の洗浄ブラシは、靴洗浄装置に用いる洗浄ブラシであって、毛部と、前記毛部を植毛する側である内側および前記内側の反対側である外側を有するブラシ台と、前記ブラシ台に付設してなる柄と、前記ブラシ台の外側であって前記ブラシ台と前記柄との取合付近において洗浄水を供給する送水可撓管が連結される送水可撓管連結部とを備えており、前記送水可撓管が前記柄に接することなく、前記送水可撓管連結部に直接連結していることを特徴とする。 (1) In order to solve the above problems, the cleaning brush of the present invention is a cleaning brush used in a shoe cleaning device, which has a bristle part, an inner side on which the bristle part is implanted, and a side opposite to the inner side. A brush stand having a certain outside, a handle attached to the brush stand, and a flexible water supply pipe that supplies cleaning water outside the brush stand and near the connection between the brush stand and the handle are connected. A water supply flexible pipe connection part is provided, and the water supply flexible pipe is directly connected to the water supply flexible pipe connection part without coming into contact with the handle.

このような連結構成をとることにより、ユーザが洗浄ブラシの柄を掴んで靴を洗う際に、送水可撓管１２５がユーザの脚または腕に接触することがなくなる。 By adopting such a connection configuration, when the user grasps the handle of the cleaning brush to wash his shoes, the flexible water supply tube 125 does not come into contact with the user's leg or arm.

（２）前記送水可撓管は、前記送水可撓管連結部を介して前記ブラシ台に対してほぼ直角、いわゆるＴ型に連結していることを特徴とする（１）に記載の洗浄ブラシ。 (2) The cleaning brush according to (1), wherein the flexible water supply pipe is connected to the brush stand at a substantially right angle, in a so-called T-shape, via the flexible water supply pipe connection part. .

（３）前記送水可撓管は、伸縮自在な送水コイルを備えていることを特徴とする（１）または（２）に記載の洗浄ブラシ。 (3) The cleaning brush according to (1) or (2), wherein the flexible water supply tube includes a stretchable water supply coil.

本発明のＴ型連結部を有する洗浄ブラシを使用することにより、ユーザが洗浄ブラシの柄を掴んで靴を洗う際に、送水可撓管がユーザの脚または腕に接触することがなくなる。さらに、送水可撓管の送水コイルが容易に伸び縮みすることで、従来のホースと洗浄ブラシの連結構成と比べて、洗浄操作が容易になる。 By using the cleaning brush with the T-shaped joint of the present invention, when the user grasps the handle of the cleaning brush to wash shoes, the flexible water tube does not come into contact with the user's legs or arms. Furthermore, since the water supply coil of the flexible water supply pipe can be easily expanded and contracted, the cleaning operation becomes easier compared to the conventional hose and cleaning brush connection configuration.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。なお、各図において、同様の部分には、同一符号を付している。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code|symbol is attached to the same part.

図３は、従来の靴洗浄装置２００の全体図である。この靴洗浄装置２００は、靴を洗うための水洗台１０２、洗った靴を乾かすための乾燥台１０３、使用した水を払い出す排水受け１０４、靴を洗うための洗浄ブラシ１３７、靴を乾かすための送風具１１５を備えている。 FIG. 3 is an overall view of a conventional shoe cleaning device 200. This shoe washing device 200 includes a water washing table 102 for washing shoes, a drying table 103 for drying washed shoes, a drain tray 104 for discharging used water, a cleaning brush 137 for washing shoes, and a drying table 103 for drying shoes. A blower 115 is provided.

洗浄ブラシ１３７には、靴洗浄装置２００の後壁１０７の内部に設けられた送水管１２２から送水分岐管１２３、水栓１２４、および洗浄ブラシ１３７の柄１３９の後端に取付けた送水ホース１３５を経由して洗浄水が供給される。 The cleaning brush 137 includes a water supply pipe 122 provided inside the rear wall 107 of the shoe cleaning device 200, a water supply branch pipe 123, a faucet 124, and a water supply hose 135 attached to the rear end of the handle 139 of the cleaning brush 137. Cleaning water is supplied via the

送風具１１５には、靴洗浄装置２００の後壁１０７の内部に設けられた送風管１１２から送風可撓管１１３、送風コイル１１４を経由して乾燥用エアーが供給される。 Drying air is supplied to the blower 115 from a blower pipe 112 provided inside the rear wall 107 of the shoe cleaning device 200 via a flexible blower tube 113 and a blower coil 114 .

ユーザは、水洗台１０２の足乗せ台１０５に靴を履いたままで片方の足を置き、一方の手で洗浄ブラシ１３７の柄１３９を掴み他方の手で水栓を開ける。洗浄ブラシ１３７のブラシ台１３８から水が流出していることを確認した後、靴の洗浄を開始する。 The user places one foot with his shoes on on the footrest 105 of the washing table 102, grasps the handle 139 of the washing brush 137 with one hand, and opens the faucet with the other hand. After confirming that water is flowing out from the brush stand 138 of the cleaning brush 137, cleaning of the shoes is started.

靴の洗浄が終わったら、乾燥台１０３の格子状板１０６に両足または片足を乗せて、両方の靴または片方の靴を送風具１１５で乾燥させる。 After the shoes have been washed, one or both feet are placed on the grid plate 106 of the drying table 103, and both shoes or one shoe are dried using the air blower 115.

ここで、靴を洗うための洗浄ブラシ１３７は、柄１３９の後端にホース１３５が取り付けられて、このホースは、靴を洗っているユーザの前面に設けられた水栓に繋がっている。 Here, a cleaning brush 137 for washing shoes has a hose 135 attached to the rear end of a handle 139, and this hose is connected to a faucet provided in front of the user who is washing the shoes.

この状態で洗浄ブラシ１３７を操作すると、どうしてもホース１３５が脚または腕と接触しやすくなり、さらにホース１３５は水で満たされていて重量があるので、脚または腕と接触した際、洗浄ブラシ１３７の先端が揺れて、衣服を水で濡らしてしまう問題が生じている。 If you operate the cleaning brush 137 in this state, the hose 135 will inevitably come into contact with your leg or arm, and since the hose 135 is filled with water and is heavy, when it comes into contact with your leg or arm, the hose 135 will come into contact with your leg or arm. There is a problem with the tip shaking and getting your clothes wet.

本発明は、上記問題を解消するために洗浄ブラシへの水の供給位置を改良したものである。 The present invention improves the water supply position to the cleaning brush in order to solve the above problem.

図１は、改良を加えたＴ型連結部を有する洗浄ブラシ１２７を備えた靴洗浄装置１００の全体図である。水栓１２４から洗浄ブラシ１２７までの構成を除き、図３の従来の洗浄ブラシ１３７を備えた靴洗浄装置２００と同じ構成である。 FIG. 1 is an overall view of a shoe cleaning device 100 with a cleaning brush 127 having a modified T-shaped connection. Except for the configuration from the faucet 124 to the cleaning brush 127, it has the same configuration as the conventional shoe cleaning device 200 equipped with the cleaning brush 137 shown in FIG. 3.

図１では、従来のホース１３５に代えて送水可撓管１２５を使用している。送水可撓管１２５は、ＡＢＳ樹脂、軟質塩化ビニール、天然ゴム等で製造されたチューブ状の管で、従来使用されているホース１３５より細く、柔軟性がある。さらに、中央部に伸縮自在なコイル形状の送水コイル１２６が形成されているため、ユーザが洗浄ブラシ１２７を使用する際に、容易に伸び縮みすることで、洗浄操作が楽になる。 In FIG. 1, a flexible water pipe 125 is used in place of the conventional hose 135. The flexible water supply pipe 125 is a tubular pipe made of ABS resin, soft vinyl chloride, natural rubber, etc., and is thinner and more flexible than the conventionally used hose 135. Further, since the extensible coil-shaped water supply coil 126 is formed in the center, when the user uses the cleaning brush 127, the cleaning brush 127 can be easily expanded and contracted, thereby making the cleaning operation easier.

図２は、送水可撓管１２５が連結された洗浄ブラシ１２７の全体図である。洗浄ブラシ１２７は、毛材が植毛されている毛部１４０と、この毛部１４０を植毛する側である内側および内側の反対側である外側を有するブラシ台１２８と、このブラシ台１２８に付設してなる柄１２９と、ブラシ台１２８の外側であってブラシ台１２８と柄１２９との取合付近において洗浄水を供給する送水可撓管１２５の端部が連結される送水可撓管連結部１３０とを備えており、この送水可撓管１２５が柄１２９に接することなく、送水可撓管連結部１３０に直接連結している。ブラシ台１２８は、内部に中空部１３１を有し、送水可撓管連結部１３０から注入された洗浄水を内部に一旦貯めて、当該貯めた洗浄水をブラシ台１２８の内側に設けた図示略の複数の小さな放水口から放出する。 FIG. 2 is an overall view of the cleaning brush 127 to which the flexible water supply pipe 125 is connected. The cleaning brush 127 includes a bristle part 140 on which bristles are flocked, a brush stand 128 having an inner side on which the bristles 140 are flocked, and an outer side on the opposite side of the inner side, and a brush stand 128 attached to the brush stand 128. A flexible water pipe connecting part 130 where the end of the flexible water pipe 125 that supplies cleaning water is connected to the handle 129, which is outside the brush stand 128 and near the connection between the brush stand 128 and the handle 129. The flexible water supply pipe 125 is directly connected to the flexible water supply pipe connection part 130 without coming into contact with the handle 129. The brush stand 128 has a hollow part 131 inside, and the cleaning water injected from the flexible water pipe connection part 130 is temporarily stored therein, and the stored cleaning water is provided inside the brush stand 128 (not shown). The water is released from multiple small water outlets.

このような連結構成をとることにより、ユーザが洗浄ブラシ１２７の柄１２９を掴んで靴を洗う際に、送水可撓管１２５がユーザの脚または腕に接触することがなくなる。さらに、送水可撓管１２５の送水コイル１２６が容易に伸び縮みすることで、従来のホース１３５と洗浄ブラシ１３７の連結構成と比べて、洗浄操作が容易になる。 By adopting such a connection configuration, when the user grasps the handle 129 of the cleaning brush 127 to wash his shoes, the flexible water supply tube 125 does not come into contact with the user's leg or arm. Furthermore, since the water supply coil 126 of the flexible water supply pipe 125 can be easily expanded and contracted, the cleaning operation becomes easier compared to the conventional connection structure of the hose 135 and the cleaning brush 137.

さらに図２に示すように、ブラシ台１２８と柄１２９との取合付近に連結する送水可撓管１２５は、送水可撓管連結部１３０を介して洗浄ブラシ１２７に対してほぼ直角、いわゆるＴ型に連結している。この角度は、送水可撓管１２５の洗浄ブラシ１２７に対する連結角度を種々変更した結果、ほぼ直角、いわゆるＴ型に連結する場合が洗浄操作を最もスムーズに行うことができたことによる。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the water supply flexible pipe 125 connected near the joint between the brush stand 128 and the handle 129 is connected to the cleaning brush 127 through a water supply flexible pipe connection part 130 at a substantially right angle to the cleaning brush 127. Connected to the type. This angle was determined by various changes in the connection angle of the flexible water supply pipe 125 to the cleaning brush 127, and it was found that the cleaning operation could be performed most smoothly when the flexible water pipe 125 was connected at a substantially right angle, that is, in a so-called T-shape.
